Chapter 2

Grayson POV

The party has dwindled down. It is mostly the older crowd that is still out there. I am sitting in my dad's office with my family.

"So, Grayson, what have you decided what you want to do?" My mother asks me with the most serious face I have ever seen on my mother.

"I decided, I first want to go to Alpha school, and then, travel the world. I will also like to use this opportunity to search for my mate if that is okay with you?" I look between my mom and dad, trying to gauge their reaction but unfortunately, they have become good at keeping their poker face on. The twins are on their phones looking like they want to be anywhere but here.

"That is a good idea, son. True power comes from the bond you have with your mate, but let's get back to Alpha school. It will be a 1-year program.  You will learn a more advanced fighting technique. You will also learn about problem-solving and the best way to negotiate. This might be the most important class you ever attend, son. I don't need you to get top marks, I just need you to do your best. Also, try to make as many allies as you can. It will help you as soon as you take over the pack."

"I will, dad. I can promise you this. I will do my absolute best."

"That is all I ever ask of you, son. Now, I will call the institution and ask them about enrolling you. You should start packing because you might have to leave in the next couple of days."

"Thank you, dad." 

My father nods toward my mother and she took that as her cue to leave. She took the twins with her and left me and my father alone.

"Son, there is another thing I wanted to talk to you about. I saw the way the kids that attended high school with you reacted when I told the pack that you were going to be Alpha. What is going on? Why was everyone so shocked?"

I look down guiltily. I was hoping my dad didn't see that. Luckily, my mom already left the room. I don't want to worry her.

"All of them tried to intimidate me, dad. They were honestly nasty to me in school. They didn't include me in anything they did. They always thought that one of the twins will be Alpha. I just didn't bother to correct them, so to them, it was a shock."

"Why didn't you tell me, or your mother? Do you want me to do something about it?"

"No, dad. I think they have learned their lesson. They will come to suck-up to me someday in the future. I didn't want you or mom to worry about me. I am going to start packing."

I walk out of my dad's office and to my room. I knew exactly what I am going to pack. I didn't need that much stuff, so I will be done in no time.

I walk into my room. I look around and realize that my room is the kind of room that every boy dreams of. I have a double bed, a 40" wall mounted tv, a gaming corner. Yes, I have a big room. My room is in the attic of our house. When I turned 13 my mom took me to decorate my own room. I wanted something that I will still like when I was older so I decided on black and dark blue as my color scheme. 

I took my suitcase out of my cupboard.  First, I need to make a list to make sure I remember everything. I would hate to forget something important. I grew up in a house with a lot of money, but I was also taught not to waste my money on things that I don't need.

I turn on my computer and start to write my list. After I am done, there are quite a few things on my list, so I start packing. 

Everything that I still used in my daily life I didn't pack, but I made sure I placed the list where I can see it, so I didn't forget. There is a knock on my door, and I went to open it thinking that it is my mother, but instead, it is Quine.

"What do you want, Quine?"

"Can I come in, please?"

I stand aside and wait for Quine to come in. Quine walks towards my bed and makes herself comfortable on my bed.

"I asked you a question, Quine?"

"I wanted to know if you still wanted a chance?" I started to laugh. I cannot believe the cheek of this girl. Shure, I had a crush on her a few years ago, but she rejected me so bad I almost went into a state of depression. Now she wants to give me a chance? No way in hell is going to happen.

"I knew all of you will come crawling back to me once the truth surface, I just didn't expect it to be this quick. Let me make this clear to you, and I honestly hope that you tell all your friends. If you weren't nice to me when you thought I was a nobody, then don't expect me to be nice to you now that I have power. None of you wanted to be my friends. Now, if you will excuse me, I have to pack. I am on my way to the Alpha school. Don't let the door hit you on your way out."

I turn around to finish my packing. I heard Quine huff and walk out. I finally put her in her place, and It felt amazing. I should have done that a long time ago, but I just didn't want to make any waves. Now is the time to reinvent me into someone that my family can be proud of. No more letting people walk all over me. I am the future Alpha after all.
