The Shadow Alpha novel Chapter 4

The following morning I woke up at four, it was my first day of training with Alpha Jamie and dare I say; I was excited. After a quick shower I threw on a pair of yoga pants and a wife beater from a pile of clothes that Alpha Jamie organised for me.

The moment I entered the kitchen I was greeted by three women who were talking animatedly while preparing breakfast, I was shocked at first since it was so early but I quickly brushed it off remembering how early I used to wake up in my old pack to make breakfast for everyone. This pack was far bigger than my old one, but since there were three of them, things seemed to flow well. I learnt from Jake that the Blue Moon Pack had 439 members- including me- it was the largest pack and the third strongest pack in the world.

My old pack had only 149 members.

After having pancakes, which the ladies insisted they prepare for me, I made my way outside to the backyard where my training would take place. Since it is a Saturday, the pack is free from training and I will be the only one training according to Alpha Jamie.

Outside Alpha Jamie, Jacob and Dristan were setting up the training mats. I looked questioningly at Dristan and Jacob, I hadn’t expected them to be here, Alpha Jamie quickly informed me that he filled them in on what he found out and they insisted on helping with my training.

Dristan began by showing me different warm up techniques; they were easy and pretty relaxing. After warm ups I ran in the forest with Jacob, still in human form; they explained that the key to having a strong wolf is having a stronger human form.

We took short breaks in between but only ended our training at 1pm. My body was drenched in sweat and my muscles were stiff, but I still felt great, my first day of training was an ultimate success which motivated me to keep going further.

I took a much needed shower before going in search of the guys, I didn't really know anyone else and I desperately needed to go shopping for new clothes. I walked through the pack house until I came to the gaming room; it seems as if all the teenagers of the pack were in here. I stepped inside and was immediately bombarded by introductions and people tugging me to join them in their own little groups, the attention was flattering, but overbearing.

“STOP!” I could hear the authority that seeped into my voice, immediately everyone went quiet and bowed their heads in respect, I instantly felt bad.

“I'm sorry, please look up, I just got overwhelmed by everyone speaking at the same time. I would really like to be friends with everyone and spend time with you all, but for now I have something that I have to do. I was looking for Jacob and Dristan, they promised to take me shopping today.” I ranted not giving them time to ask the questions that were burning in their eyes.

At the mention of shopping a few of the girl's eyes widened and bubbled with excitement, “You want to go shopping? We'll take you!” they suggested happily and I saw it as a great opportunity to get to know them.

We ended up taking four cars since everyone wanted to tag along, guys included. No one asked about my outburst earlier and I was thankful for it, I think they sensed that I didn't want to explain.

I was in the car with Lexi who has blonde hair and blue eyes, she's a timid girl with a shy smile, but is very beautiful, her mate Joey who strangely enough is the exact opposite of her, his hair is chocolate brown and he has black eyes-something I have never seen before- while his personality is outgoing and friendly.
