Slaved To The Alpha

Grant’s POVCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

It was a perfect morning for me, I didn’t know what was about to unfold later on would just make me irritated, the moment I woke up, in my mind, it was going to be a perfect day, the sun was shining, no clouds in sight, and best of all, I had nothing to do for the rest of the day.

I got out of bed, with a glowing aura. I was full of confidence that no one could stand in my way, no one could prevent me from having the perfect day that I have always so wanted. Then I went to the dining room to get breakfast, but the moment I got there, I saw my mother Letizia already at the end of the table, she looked like she was waiting for me to get up. “You’re up early mom, is there’s something?” I was curious about why she was already up even before me since she usually gets up late, sometimes nearing lunch as well.

She just looked at me with a huge smile on her face as she was covering her mouth, which I could clearly see her laughing from where I was standing. “Oh… Nothing, I just wanted to spend my day differently today.” She said to me in a sarcastic voice, I know something was up, I had to pressure her so that she will reveal what she was hiding, or else I know she’s just going to surprise me later down the line. If I didn’t like the surprise, then it would just be a waste later when she tells me.

“Really? You seem different today. Did something happen?” I had to make a way of asking questions that I wanted to ask to get her answer.

She was just chuckling in her seat, like she had a surprise ready for me the moment I walked out of the dining room. “Are you sure you want to know now? I know what you’re doing Grant, you’re curious, I get that.” She acted like she already knew what I was thinking inside of my head, but I wasn’t gonna let her manipulate me into letting it go.

“Me? I’m not curious. I was just wondering why you wake up this early, and this is just unusual for you.” I had to choose my words carefully not to let down my guard in front of her, but she wasn’t budging at all.

I didn’t know at this point how I would get the information I wanted out of her. She then stared at me with a huge smile on her face. “Okay, I think you deserve to know.” She made it so much scarier than it should be, she likes to tell things with a little suspense to make it better to tell it.

What she was doing was actually having quite the effect on me, it made me more curious than ever, her mind games were actually affecting me. “What? Are you going to tell me or not? Just tell me already.” I almost yelled at her for being impatient, I would’ve regretted doing that if I had done so. She started laughing again in her seat as she looked at me like I was a baby begging for food.

“Okay, You’re the one to be hosting the Annual Pack Gathering, it is going to be held at the Snow Pack this year, isn’t it exciting?” She said to me in an enthusiastic tone in her voice, she was actually excited for me that I would be hosting it this year.

But in my mind, in my opinion, this Annual pack gathering is just a waste of time. I would be better off doing absolutely nothing rather than actually making this work. The moment I heard those words came out of her mouth, my curiosity suddenly vanished as I was left underwhelmed by what she said. I was thinking of something huge, and would actually something that would benefit me in every way possible. But it was just a huge disappointment.

A couple of moments later, I turned my back on her and started to walk back to my room, but then she suddenly called me. “Grant! Get back here, I’m not done talking to you yet.” She started to look furious at me, her voice changed from that lovely gentle tone to a more serious tone of voice. I’ve only seen her like this when she talks about something very serious to her and her alone.

I am scared of her for the first time in my life, I felt nervous about turning to her and looking her straight in the eyes. “Y-Yes?” My voice is shaking at the moment, I felt like I am actually up against a monster.

“Don’t go yet, you do know what’s the purpose of the Annual pack gathering is, right?” She suddenly changed back to her old self, the gentle and loving mother I have always known.

This makes me feel more at ease. “I know… It’s the night where we’re supposed to find soul mates, our fated matches. But none of those are true mom, don’t believe in any of those stupid rumors.” I told her in a serious and assertive voice to make sure that she gets what I am trying to say.

She stood up and smiled at me. “So… You know what you must do then, correct? If not, then I’ll personally make sure myself that you will get to the Annual pack gathering whether you like it or not.” She started to get serious again.

This is a stupid idea, I’m hosting something that I don’t even want to be a part of just spells disaster, and that’s what I am hoping since I don’t really care about it at all. “But I don’t believe in any of those things, FATE? More like a coincidence, I doubt that fate had something to do with marriage at all. It is just something that happens, FATE has nothing to do with it because it isn’t true nor real.” I made to emphasise the word fate to make sure that she gets the message I’m trying to tell her.
