The Royals

Caleigh's POV

As soon as all of the squad got in the gym, Claire and I begin giving orders. "Stretch really good guys. We have about twelve minutes to go over everything!" Claire shouts. While we are all stretching, I decide to begin going over everything again, just to be safe. "Bases, remember to keep your feet placed apart a little ways while bending to pick the flyers up. Flyers, remember your cores have got to be tightened or you will fall! Everyone needs to be as sharp, and precise as possible. We have a visiting Alpha watching the game, and my parents are here! I am so proud to have been able to spend my middle and high school years with all of you. Now let's go bring home a win!"

The entire squad began to cheer, and we all ran back out to the side lines. Since we are on our home field, the other cheer squad goes first, leaving us to be the closing number. There is still four minutes left on the clock, so Claire and I cheer for Michael.

Just as the clock goes to strike zero, Michael catches the call and runs it all the way to the other side of the field, scoring a touchdown. So before the other squad comes on the field, we grab our pompoms and do the fight song.

We watch as their squad takes the field. The music starts, and immediately I can tell that the routine is a hard hitting routine, but it only features two or three of the members. The girl in the center, obviously the captain, is lifted in the air for a solid 16 counts. The rest of the squad is just standing behind the stunt group in the 'attention position.'

Then the girl flanking her left side, is the co captain, and she has a 16 count lift as well. Then the entire squad breaks out into a ground routine, with moves that are just repeated over and over. The routine is hard hitting and crisp, but if this was competition, they wouldn't even place in the top ten. It's too safe.

As they get ready to exit the field, everyone claps for them. They quickly grab all of their bags out of our way, and come to sit where we were just sitting. Claire and I start on the side lines, and begin flipping out onto the field. The crowd instantly starts cheering, and a big smile comes onto my face. Claire and I quickly get into position in the front. The music starts and the guys instantly begin their parts.

They break formation, and walk up behind the girls in the middle. The girls instantly grab the guys wrist that is grabbing her waist, and the guys throw them onto their hands over their hands.

We continue doing our routine, and I feel eyes on me. I knew it had to be that Alpha. A smirk grew on my face because the stunt that I am fixing to do, is the hardest stunt in cheer history. The music changes to a more up beat song, and I prepare myself.

Breathe in... Breathe out...

I begin running towards the bases in the middle, between two sets of bases with flyers on the top. I start doing cartwheels until I get close enough, then I jump and do a front flip, landing onto the arms of the bases. The entire crowd gasps as they realize the stunt I'm doing. I quickly sink with my bases, and tighten my core, before getting lifted. I quickly doing a leg lift, and spin so I'm facing the direction of the crowd like the rest of the squad. Once I'm turned around, the girls in the other two stunts drop, leaving me up there alone. Once again, I breathe in and then out, before sinking again, and then being thrown up into the air, higher than the bleachers. I repeat the steps in my head.

Tuck... flip... 1 turn... 2 turns... 3 turns... untuck... corkscrew out!

I land inside my bases arms, and I can hear the crowd going crazy. I just landed the hardest stunt in the world. I look out into the crowd, while we are in the ending pose. I see my mom and dad up on there feet cheering, and the Alpha is staring at me with a look of... pride?

That's weird.

We all run off the field, and we all get into one big group hug. The coach comes over to me, and gives me a hug. She whispers, "I'm proud of you," then she walks away. A huge smile is plastered on my face for the rest of the night.

Once the game is over, Claire and I head pack to the pack house. We head straight to our rooms, and shower. Once I'm done showering, I crawl into bed, and wait for her to come to my room like she does every weekend.

I hear my door open, and like I predicted, there she is. I smile, and tell her to come on in. We both are just about to get settled for the night when there's a knock on my door. I look over and see my mom and dad.

"We just wanted to tell you girls that you did an outstanding job tonight, and that we are very proud of everything you have accomplished." My mom tells us.
"Thank you mom!"
"Thanks Mrs. Mary."
"Goodnight girls." My father tells us.
"Goodnight dad."

Once again, I have the same, strange dream that I have had every night since I turned 16.

There's a large clearing in the middle of the woods. I come here every night in my dreams. On the other side of the clearing, there's a wolf. A beautiful black wolf with bright blue eyes.

It takes a step forward, and I can feel the power rolling off this wolf in waves. He's and Alpha, and a well-known Alpha. With every step he takes, I can feel the ground shake. My inner wolf is going crazy, yipping in joy at the Alpha male.

The wolf is so close to touching me that it scares me. He's never gotten this close to me. Then his nose touches mine, and all I feel are tingles.

I shoot up in bed.

I just had a dream about my mate!
