Alpha Nicholas novel Chapter 6

I love to travel, even if it’s just by car. I love watching the scenery and all the beautiful things that are out there in the world. And the best part about it is that when we travel, my dad is busy driving while Rowan takes the passenger seat and Blue always has her headphones on while she listens to something, so that means that I get left alone.

Seeing as I can’t read my book, instead, I usually listen to whatever music it is that Rowans picked and daydream about how my life would be without my family around, of what my life will be like one day… soon.

My stomach rumbling brings my mind back to the car as I wonder if I’ll be able to eat while I’m at the pack. I know smaller balls usually have meals, but with bigger ones, it’s usually more of a help-yourself buffet and if that’s the case, then I’m just praying that I’ll be able to get food without my dad stopping me. I’m used to going long periods without food, but for some reason, I’m struggling with it more today. I’ve not eaten since yesterday’s dinner time, and I’m starving.

When we stopped for food a few hours ago, my dad told the others that I was travel sick and didn’t want any food, so I was going to wait in the car while everyone ate. I wanted to cry, but I knew better than to make any kind of fuss about it. He did bring me out a bottle of water when they were done but it turns out that he only gave it to me because one of the she-wolves had suggested it to help with my ‘travel sickness’ Still, I didn’t care how I ended up with it, I was just grateful.

“We will be arriving in a moment.” Dad bellows from the front of the SUV. Rowan turns the music down, then I catch my dad’s eyes in the rearview mirror as he seeks me out. “Mutt, I’m only going to say this once, and you had better listen up. If I catch even one sniff of you misbehaving or doing anything to embarrass our family or pack, I swear to the moon goddess herself that you will never see the light of day again. DO. I. MAKE. MYSELF. CLEAR!” He starts out talking low but, of course, soon enough, he’s bellowing so loud that the entire SUV shakes.

As soon as we exit our SUV, we are greeted and guided to a room that looks like it is a ballroom. The room is massive and already looks to be pretty full. From what I know, everyone in here is staying either in the packhouse itself or on the parklands but surely that can’t be, right? I don’t see how they can have room for this many wolves. Just a few minutes later, two men came to the front of the crowd and stand on a stage that I hadn’t noticed before, bringing the attention of the entire room to them.

I don’t mind waiting a little longer to see the Alpha. I’ve never met him before, but from what I’ve been told, he is known to be a grumpy git and I have enough of that in my life already. I don’t need any more of it.
