Crystal Point Of View
Everyone is busy right now, planning for the upcoming hunt I'll be taking. It's really suffocating. The King has always been strict with my life and that sucks. I'll be turning legal age and let the King turn over all the responsibilities to me as their Alpha, but all I wanted is a different environment. I'm tired of hiding in the woods.
Now that I'm taking my father's place, I must hunt and find my mate for their sake. They didn't believe that I could manage myself alone and lead all the Packs.
What should I do now?! I'm trapped with this fucking tradition. I don't wanna be an Alpha.
"Crystal, are you ready?" I was shocked at the moment I heard the question from the King.
"The packs are waiting for you... it's time," He said.
Well I guess, I don't have a way out.
"Yeah, let's go," I forced myself to smile at him.
I followed the King on the way.
He lifted the curtain and greeted everyone.
"My fellow wolves and other creatures that all gather here in the woods. I'm very happy to introduce our new Alpha, my only daughter, Crystal Finn!"
All of them are screaming and celebrating. That's my sign to get out there and make a speech.
"Hello, everybody. I just wanna say thank you to all of you that are here to witness this... wow, amazing ceremony as I take the responsibilities as your new Alpha. I'll lead this kingdom with my best and don't let the other packs or kingdom try to execute even one of us," Most of what I said is true.
If I'm going to be an Alpha, I'll do my best to serve them. I love these packs even if I know there are some of them that are not into us.
After that, the party started. My father is really happy about it and proud to have me.
"I'm so proud of you, daughter. I know that you'll be a good leader and wife to your mate. As soon as you finally chose the candidates for the hunt," I froze at what he said.
He keeps bringing that up.
And the worst part is, all of the candidates are here also to enjoy the party and celebrate with us. That is what I know and I think I'm not wrong about that because I can see Blake Woods coming.
"Hey there, Alpha," he greeted me.
I turn to the King to give him a look for privacy. He seems to notice it.
"Uh, I'll go entertain the packs. See you around, daughter." He kissed my forehead first then gazed at Blake. "I'll leave my daughter to you, excuse me."
Once we are alone. I gave Blake a dead stare. "Who do you think you are?"
"Huh?"
Tss, idiot.
"Oh, are you mad because I came to greet you in front of the King? Well then, I'm sorry about that. But I just want to congratulate you for being the next Alpha, we're going to be a good leader by the way," I was confused by what he said.
"What do you mean we?" I asked.
He answered my question full of confidence. "I mean, I'm the one you're gonna choose at the hunt, right? Why do we have to take it longer if we all know that I'm gonna be your mate." I laughed because of that.
"Tss. Didn't mean to stroke your ego but I'm not going to marry anyone. Especially you..." I remarked then to leave him alone.
Such a pain in the ass. He's full of himself.
As I walked around, I unluckily saw my cousins grinning at me. Here we go again.
"Cousin!" Themedeus called me.
I just stop walking cause I know they are going to approach me like hell. Damn.
"What's up?" I asked bored.
"I thought you don't want to be an Alpha, then why suddenly you are speaking nonsense earlier? Huh?" It's still Themedeus.
"Theme, stop. You're not respecting her, she's the Alpha," Chris reminded him, my other cousin, who had more sense in the family.
"So what? She's still the Crystal we know, Chris. Don't be scared of her, she can't beat us," Themedeus told him.
I let out a sigh. "Are you done? If you're not happy about what the King's decision is, maybe you should talk to him and not me."
