Thunderstruck

Chapter one

       P.o.v. Alexandra

 It's been four years since that most amazing day, the day I become a leader of the most awesome group of gals in the whole entire world. I still think about that special day when I was called in to my aunt's office, it was a Tuesday night I just got back from hanging out with my two best friends, Lydia and Alyssa. We were having a sparring match where I kicked Alyssa ass and in revenge Lydia held nothing back as she whooped mine. I walk in to my aunt's office black, blue and sore all over, as my aunt looked at me she smiled. " You and the girls had fun beating each other up today?" my aunt ask, her voice strained with exhaustion but she was clearly amused.

"Yep we should did aunty Marge." I responded back, with a huge smirk on my face, ignoring the searing pain in my left shoulder.

As I took an seat across from her I eyed her newly organized desk, which I found quite odd, normally she had papers all over the place including her ceiling, which were only being held up by pencils (Don't ask). As she cleared her throat to catch my attention I looked up at her " So what do you need." I asked raising an eyebrow in her direction.

"I would like to discuss the fact that your birthday is today, so you can legally take your rightful place as the leader of our group." She said as a matter of fact. Still not understanding were this conversation was going I signaled her to elaborate. She took off her glasses looked me straight in the eye, like I was stupid. I mouthed O, of course I'm 16 now, and get to fulfill my mother's wish for me to lead like she once had. She demanded respect and took no ones shit. unfortunately she passed away due to a wound sustained in battle, at which she could not heal, leaving me with my aunt at the age of 12. I would like to think my aunt raised me the way my mother would have, showing me kindness and patience yet when it came to my training and my future, she drilled me hard, physically and educationally to preparer me for this very moment. I sat up straight in my chair waiting for those magic words that would change my life, and those around me." how does today at noon sound?" Her and I looked at the clock, it was only 8 AM leaving 4 hours to prepare.

We weren't known to make a big deal out of things like this, usually everything was very casual and everyone was to busy to make anything fancy. Come to think of it, the last time we decorated for a celebration was when my aunt rejected my drug addicted, abusive uncle, the party lasted 4 days, looking back, it's probably the best party a 14 year old could ask for. "I will inform everyone that the time has come." She got up and left the office.

I walked behind the desk running my hand along the smooth surface of the desk, before taking a seat in the old leather chair which as old as it looks, there are pictures dating back to when my great, great, grandmother was alive and this chair still looked old, and they were black and white!

Just then Alyssa and Lydia come tumbling through the door practically on top of each other, they both leapt over the desk pining me onto the floor. Unfortunately they also managed to knock the old chair to the floor, funny enough, as old as that damn chair is, it is durable as fuck.

Lydia who was the primary person holding me down scoffed "Why the fuck did we hear this from your aunt! Were your best friends dammit! We should have been the first to know!" Lets just say she was very pissed off. I turned to look at Alyssa which happened to be a pretty big mistake for my face, seeing as she punched me good, I'm very sure it's going to leave a mark. I groaned, I pretty used to this by now but that didn't stop the fact that it was painful.

"Now that that was taken care of. Congratulations! We are so proud of you!" Alyssa yelled jumping up and down. seeing as Lydia was still on top of me. She looked from Alyssa over to me "Which of us are you gonna make your Beta? You obviously can't have two." She frowned pausing for a moment before finally saying "make Alyssa your Beta. I know ultimately its your say. But please hear me out." She paused looking for the right words, before she finally said "We are both vary qualified for the job, Mom and dad both made sure the moment we became friends. But honestly she is mentally more fit for the spot. I don't have the attention span to sit in long meetings where she is and I don't have the strongest patience in the world." She was almost crying at this point. Typically a Beta was the best friend of the Alpha, and ever since the age of 3 Lydia was my #1. she sadly enough was right, she was not fit for Beta as painful as it was to admit. And that put a ratchet in my plans because I was going to make her my Beta, but now that she laid it out on the table fore me.

I thought for a moment "you do know that I will still need a Gamma, and the Gamma-"

"Is the strongest fighter! in charge of training and grading and taking care of the rest of the fighters." She cut me off now excited. Then she frowned again helping me off the floor "who were you planning on making your delta? I'm Gamma but what about delta?" Then she raised an eyebrow at me "please tell me your not going to be one of those Alphas who only have Beta, and Gamma." She had concern written all over her face.

I laughed "No i'm definitely having a Delta, its just I don't know who it's going to be yet. I have time, the only thing I need to be certain of now is the Beta and Gamma." I say making my way down the stairs. I was on my way to the pack house, I was congratulated multiple times by the pack members. The Ceremony went through without problem and everything was perfect, there were some flowers that were brought in from outside and the curtain's were changed to make the place look more elegant, it wasn't crazy it was perfect. The ceremony was followed my a small party whose main purpose was for everyone to have time to say congratulations and hangout, we never really had any down time so this gave everyone time to relax. The real fun came later that night when we went on a massive hunt, I lead with my newly announced Beta Alyssa on my right, and my best friend and newly announced Gamma, Lydia on my left. leaving the rest of the pack to follow behind. That was certainly a night to remember.
