RAVEN'S POV.
"Raven come down from there before you fall!" Rowan my childhood best friend and future Beta shouts from somewhere below me. I'm not that high up maybe two hundred feet, he is over reacting, I spin on the edge.
"Relax Row I'm fine don't worr- shit!" I slip off the cliff and shift to my golden and white wolf quickly. The water is fast approaching, I curl into a ball as someone screams my name. I hit the water hard, I uncurl and start fighting to get the surface. I break through the water gasping for breath, I shift to human as Zana pulls me out of the water.
I lay on my back and she lays next to me, her slivery white hair is soaked and in her green eyes. "I hate you so much right now."
I laugh but it dries up when I see a pissed of Rowan glaring down at me with his deep blue eyes. "Uh hi?"
"Don't start that shit Raven! What the fuck is wrong with you?" Rowan runs his hand through his light brown coffee colored hair, "Can't you ever listen to me?!" Zana shifts to her wolf and takes off.
"THANKS A LOT ASSHOLE!" I shout after her but like me she hates it when Rowan does his stupid lectures. I sigh and glance at Rowan who is still glaring at me, "I'm gonna be the Alpha I don't have to listen to you so back the back off." I snap standing up. My white shirt clings to me showing my very bright green bra, my jeans are soaked through which is gonna make it hard to move wonderful.
"Yes and I'm going to be your Beta so you have to take my advice which you never do!" He snaps back getting in my face.
"Rowan I swear to fucking god back up or I will hurt you." I snarl.
"You don't scare me Raven!" Rowan growls, I hit his chest with my elbow and then his chin, I lock my leg behind his. He falls and I land on top of him, I hold him down with my for arm on his throat.
"I don't need you to fear me Rowan I need you not to be a pain in my ass!" I snarl, he growls back and bucks his hips and tries to pry me off of him but I'm the next Alpha for a reason. "Things are different now so stop treating me like the kid who always needed you! I don't need you anymore I can do it on my own, I don't need anyone." I huff and release my hold on him.
"You may not need me anymore but you do need a Beta to help guild you and I'm it so when will you stop fighting me?" Rowan sounds tired as he sits up, I realize that I'm in his lap. I push off of him and sit down in front of him.
"When you stop treating me like I'm helpless." We stay silent for a while because we can't even look at each other till I hear the warning bells that mean the Alpha challenge is over. I meet Rowan's eye he nods and helps me up. "The only pack that doesn't have an Alpha is the Winter Moon pack come on lets go see who won Alpha and Beta."
"Shift." Is all I say before I turn to my sliver and tan wolf, Rowan makes a noise in the back of his throat that sounds like amusement than he shifts to his light brown coffee color with white. "Who do you think won?" I ask him as we head to our main living room.
"To be honest I really want the runt to win but it'll probably be White because Lightning is only a light Beta while Thunder is a light Alpha but he is gay and doesn't want it." Rowan nudges my flank with his head so I snap at his ear.
"I think it'd be cool if a runt was the Winter Moon's Alpha but Theluji would never allow her to be." I smirk a bit at the thought of Snow being the next Alpha. I met her once at the first year party she was mostly drunk but she was kind and was very likeable though she didn't know it was me.
"Yeah but Snow is a kind heart so I don't know if she could handle it." Rowan nudges my flank again as we near the main living room hall that's buzzing with life. I nip his ear in annoyance cause he keeps nudging me. "Ow! Why would you bite me?"
"Because you keep nudging my flank you know I hate it when you do that!" I snap then move into the living room where my siblings and parents are. "So who won?" I ask my red haired orange eyed little brother Rebel.
"Well White beat everyone. . . ." Rebel mutters as he plays with his hands but I know there's more so I nudge his shoulder with my head. "Everyone but Snow. . . But um she might not be the next Alpha because she's the runt and her mom was pissed."
Rowan and I just stare at Rebel because there's no way Snow. . . Beat White she's an omega. . . "How?" Is all I ask because how the fuck did she do it?
"Her um well our father said when she shifted to her wolf form the magic flowing through her was enough to kill every hybrid and/or shifter in the world." I open my mouth to respond but nothing comes out.
"Every hybrid? Every shifter?" Rowan asks with shock clear on his face even in wolf form.
"Yes." Rebel snaps then looks at our father who is glaring at me probably because I missed the fight. His deep yellow eyes meet my half blue half yellow eyes, I see hate in his but in mine is just annoyance.
"Shift," Rowan mutters right in my freaking ear, I shift back to human with my long golden hair with silver highlights flowing down to my waist. "Go speak to your mother she's easier than your father."
"I hate you." I snap as I start heading toward my mother, like me she has golden hair and the rare blue eyes except hers are fully blue. "Mother," I greet her with a nod of my head she does the same. "How is it possible that a runt Omega can beat a strong born Beta?"
She makes a face at my demanding tone but she still answers, "Because Snow was born from two Alpha's it made her small but just because she is small does not make her weak, her blood and magic are strong very strong. She can hide as an omega as she's been doing but her magic was bound to either break her or break everyone around her sooner or later. Snow is a rare type of werewolf because her jeans are more than just one clan it's why her coat keeps changing colors. I'm surprised her pack hasn't figured it out yet." My mother tells me as she looks over to my father who is still glaring at me.
"What packs? Which ones are in her blood that make her so strong?" I ask her as my eyes turn more blue than yellow.
"Her mother is part Spring Flower werewolf, Blood Rise and Fall Leaf while her father is a Summer River werewolf and Winter Moon werewolf. But that's not all only the Alpha's and their mates know this so come with me." Cara stands and motions for me to follow her I do, Rowan comes with earning a glare from my mother but he just smirks. "You do realize that only Alpha's and their mates are supposed to know this right? He's not an Alpha nor your mate."
"Fine then for right now I'm her mate now what are we're not supposed to know?" Rowan throws his arm over my shoulders, I grab his hand as we enter one of the more privet rooms. Rowan's in toxic smell of apples and cinnamon with my nose and its mouthwatering, I ignore it.
"Fine whatever you guys have been so close for so long I'll let this slid just this once though." Cara rolls her eyes than sits down on a red chair making Rowan and I sit on the couch with his arm still around my shoulders. "Two years after the peace treaty was made Dean the Alpha of the Fall Leaf pack and Theluji were taken and experimented on."
"What?" Rowan and I sit up to stare at my mother, "But their Alpha's how could someone do that to them?" we ask at the same time again.
My mother stares at us for a second, "If I didn't know any better I'd say you guys were actually mated or at least lupus alligavit." we just stare at her both frozen in place.
"Say that again and I'll pull your teeth out." I snap making them both flinch because I might have said that with too much force.
"Yes young Alpha!" My mother snaps back. "But I'm gonna say this once you guys would be perfect mates even with him as a Beta."
"Why do you say that?" Rowan asks while I just stare at my mother, she's never called me young Alpha nor has she ever talked about me having a mate.
"Because y'all have always been close even when you were babies you couldn't sleep without the other one very cute but very annoying." Cara crosses her legs and leans back in her seat. "Now you will be the leaders of our pack together and I think-"
"We're not talking about this we're talking about Snow and her mother!" I cut her off and glare at her because we are not talking about mates right now! Plus I really wanna know what happed to Theluji.
"Fine whatever um let's see they were held for six weeks and nobody could find them. So after six weeks they were freed by the same people who caught them. Both had lost a ton of weight and muscle, honestly they looked like walking skeletons. Four days after they returned Theluji got pregnant with Snow and another pup. They were born six months later but not with the Winter colors, the male pup was born with the markings of a Summer River wolf while Snow was born a deep red with tan spots on face and her eyes were purple, which for any of our packs is uncommon. Theluji gave up the other pup to another pack taking their father with while she kept Snow not knowing how she'd turn out. When the twins were six they were both taken for two years." Cara tells us with a grim expression.
"Theluji was in an up roar for twenty-four months and it was the only time the Summer and Winter Alpha's got along because everyone took the missing pups to heart. When they were found they coved in scars and dried blood, every bone in their small bodies could be seen. River and I we're the ones who found them but the thing is they didn't remember anything that happened in the two years they were gone."
My mother sighs and I see the hunted look in her eyes. "When I picked up Snow her eyes turned purple like when she was born. When River picked up Cam his eyes turned purple like his sisters and their hair changed to a deep blue with golden strips. Both River and I didn't know how to react because from what we've known of the pups was that they've never been the same color ever. I took Snow to her mother and River brought Cam to his father that happens to be in the Summer River pack. Neither twin knows of the other and they never regained the memories of the two years they were gone. Snow has hidden her Alpha jeans for years I don't know why but I do know that Cam is a strong born Beta maybe even a light born Alpha which means he was supposed to be her Beta. If Snow passes her Alpha test she will be Alpha, Cam on the other hand can never be the Beta of the Summer pack because he wasn't born into it."
I stare at my mother processing all of this with wide eyes. "Wow just wow. That's so weird, how the hell are they alive?" Rowan asks making me elbow him for asking such a stupid question, there alive because of will power and their wolf jeans.
"I would say it's because they knew that they needed to stay alive even if it meant that they would be in pain." My mother answers in her motherly tone.
"Wait you said that Theluji is a Spring, Fall and Blood Rise werewolf but she's the Alpha and that's not allowed."
"That's right but James was the Alpha's son so when he mated Theluji she became Alpha because she was stronger. They weren't mates but both their parents agreed to the mating so they mated for the sake of the packs. Blood Rise's old Alpha is Theluji's father but her mother wasn't Noah's mate so he let Fae keep Theluji."
"Hold up Fae is Connor's younger sister! Are you saying that Fae is part Fall Leaf?" I ask with wide eyes.
"Yes and so is Connor and their kids." Rowan meets my gaze and I see worry in his.
"Fae found out early that Theluji was going to be an Alpha but she waited till Theluji was fifteen before Fae told Noah of Theluji's Alpha jeans. Noah didn't react very well to not knowing sooner so he went to the Alpha of the Winter Moon pack for advice and that's when the talk of the mating deal went on. Noah told Fae about it and her first reaction was to slap him but Theluji had overheard them and said she would do it if she could tolerate the male in question. So that's pretty much how that went down, so that's why Snow and Theluji have so many jeans."
My brain feels like it's gonna explode. "Mom why does no one know about this?"
