Runaway Alpha

Early in the morning we when outside and made our way in the direction of the invisible lake to travel in the surroundings of the forbidden wall.

Thankfully my father didn’t questioned us since it is one of their plan that we must be together always to have our bond stronger. I let them think that we make all these things because we’re finding the treasure pieces so that our wish can be granted by the elders.

“Are you ready to went out again?”

Lhana asked me which I didn’t replied. I just push the big round rock that I place to hid the hole connecting to the outside of the forbidden wall.

To be honest, this is not just the forbidden wall in this village. I find out that all the forbidden walls sets around in this area is not similar to each other. Why did I say so? that is because the one that was in the other part of this village was a fence and in this area… the forbidden wall is big rock wall just like what we have in the House of the village chief and as well as the House of the elders.

I clapped both of my hands to remove all the dust that stick in it since I hold the dusty rock to make the hole visible.

At this moment we are ready in our adventure. I make sure to bring some necessary equipments if we needed it and also Lhana prepare some snacks and foods that we can eat while we are on our way.

“Emric, I just realized that you were not bringing any food… are you?”

Now she realized that all the things I brought is nothing but the tools just like blue shovel water and book that I can write in whenever I needed information to be jotted down.

“It is not that I forgot to bring a food”

I did hide my face making it to avoid her gaze or she might see that I am lying but then I just heard her giggle while fixing the bag that is hanging in her back.

” No worries, I brought plenty so it would be enough for the two of us”

“Even if it isn’t enough, I can just pick up fruits on our way it’s not that it’s hard to get some fruits even if the tree is tall”

“You know what? I sometimes doubt if you can survive in the wild. Aren’t you remembering all those details that your father had given to us when we have a lecture about woods and about dangers in the wild?”

” Lhana stopped overthinking. The wild is our place. Even a village can be called as wild since there are lots of wolves that is harmful for everyone”

“What are you talking about? Wolves are harmful for wolves? I don’t quite get it”

I let out my thoughts. It is not that I am saying that the wolves are dangerous but if you can clearly analyze it … yes, indeed we wolves are dangerous even for ourselves. But that theory of mine it’s not accepted since they will think of me as a wolf who doesn’t like to be a wolf… how funny

And now I remember how my father glare at me with his menancing look the moment I tell him about us being dangerous.

‘Emric, a wolf needs to be dangerous to protect ourselves and to protect all those family that they cherish. If you are not dangerous you will be easily be taken as a path to make your family be prone in danger!’

Yes I know that our power… it’s given to us to protect all those people that we love… to protect ourselves from any danger that may be thrown on our way but then my father don’t get it. Every time that the moon turns in his full state we can have a very enormous power that can either make us strong or make us be fall apart and hurt others. Each time that someone is awakening their power… it will always be hard to handle that even their parents need to earn bruises and scars just to handle the wrath of their child awakening his own power.

I am amazed at all the traits that we have as a wolf but I don’t quite get it why we must suffer before attaining those power and I also don’t quite get it why we must have this power. It’s not like we are living in a dangerous place. The weather is always calm and our lives is not in danger. Really… a dull place with no worries.

‘Drop all those ideas about thinking that wolves are dangerous and thinking of wolves harming others because we don’t have the ability to harm each other unless they did something bad that needed to be punished”

That moment, I realized that not because you are strong… not because you excel in anything you do… your words will be accepted and that your opinion will always matter because at the moment I speak all of my ideas, all of my thoughts… it’s like I’m just making my own grave to be hated by my own father.

“Hey Emric, what are you thinking of? You zone out again”

“It was Lana who bring me back to my senses”

“Nothing… let’s keep going”

Someone’s POV

“Mother where is Lianna? I haven’t seen her since this morning”

“Ailard, how long will you call your sister with a name like that?”

“Mother, everyone calls her cressida and lhana. I want to be unique. So I am the only one that must call her lianna”

Mother giggled as she brushes my hair while i eat my apple. I am years older than lianna. She is my little sister. Our princess.

“Now, this is your food”

“Food?”

I look at the food that my mother pointed. It somehow looks a little messy but it is cute.

I smiled. “mom,..”

“Yes, yes, little prince it is your dearest sister who prepare that for you”

I can’t even tell how wide my smile is. My sister is really cute. I can’t help but admire this cute food that she prepare. Even if it is messy… I know for sure that it tastes wonderful. After all, it is her who prepared it.

I then heard a knock on the door.

“Good morning Mrs. Cressida… I wonder if Ailard is here?”

I again heard that voice whom I am trying to hide to. It was the girl who always prepares me food even if I don’t want it.

‘Mom, I have to go. Bye!’

I tell to my mom using our telepathic language. She just shake her head as she look at me and give me a smile. His eyes who is yellow, the same color as mine, look at me as if she was threatening me but with a sweet smile. With that, I went out of the back door but then I heard my mom says.

‘Mom. No,’

“Ailard is on his way to the back door, Mira”

‘Momm!!’

Rushing to the area where we always practice every morning. To be a good warrior, we all do our best to be strong. Thousands of push ups. Running for times that I can’t even remember. As long as we can run, we run. As long as our arms won’t break, whe push ups. As long as our feet can kick, we kick.

As much as I want to look for lianna… I cant. I have many things to do and…

“Boss!”

I heard them call me. Yes, they adore me. And see me as strong but I can’t help but accept the fact that the fiance of lianna is much better then me when I was in his age.

That monster…

Now I am in the mood for a little sparring. I already do some basic stretching when I wake up. This would be good to make me heat up.

“Warner!”

I called his name. He is my friend. I can say that he is my only real friend. Someone who doesn’t treat me as a ladder to his success. His hair is red. Just like the color of a ripe tomato. To my surprise, he didn’t went in my direction for he is talking to his neighbors.

I followed him but as he look at me… his foggy grey eyes who is dull as always was now filled with worries. He drop his sword.

“My grandmother”

He mumbled before running to the direction of somewhere I don’t know.
