pov Lora

I sat down and waited for the news with bated breath. I was so bored and didn't know what to think about so I stood up every minute and looked out the window, expecting to see if my father had arrived.

My father went to the competition in the Alpha palaces to see whether he would be selected as the palace's beta. Because I was the last kid in my family, I was treated with respect.

Soon after, I heard my father's voice coming out of the living room, so I stood up and ran down the stairs to the living room, where I saw my father conversing with my mother and ran up to him.

Father, I've been waiting for you for a long time and didn't know when you'd arrive. Father, how was your journey to the Alpha palaces? Did you get selected? With a smile on my face, I say.

Lora, pay attention. I understand how thrilled you are right now, but I'm sorry I wasn't chosen.

I felt my smile flip upside down after he said it.

So, who did he choose? I stated...

Nobody.

Nobody? I inquire.

Yes, Lora, he chose no one because he wasn't sure yet.

I noticed my father's despair as I looked at him. I know how strongly he wanted to be the Alpha's beta, and how he planned to make our family name history. My family was not wealthy, but being happy all the time is what defines a great family. I looked at my father, and seeing him upset broke my heart.

I excused myself and exited the building. I sat down to consider what I could do to please my father. Then, for a little moment, a thought occurred to me.

What if I go to the palace and confront the alpha? Perhaps he'll let my father be the beta. This was my father's dream, and I wish I could fulfill it for him. Anyway, I'm 17 years old, therefore I'm no longer a small girl.

I stood up and walked out of the home toward the Alpha Palace, but I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice the person in front of me and accidentally hit him.

Oh, I'm sorry, I apologized as I attempted to lift him up.

"It's nothing, I wasn't looking where I was going." He said.

When I looked into his eyes, it felt as if the entire world had vanished. I felt like there was nothing else in the world I wanted more than to be with him; my heart was racing so fast, and all I wanted at the time was for him to be with me.

Good day, Miss. hello you fine. I overheard him saying.

I'm sorry I was just, anyway forget it I'm sorry again.

I got away from him before he could say anything else, and I soon found myself in front of the palace, preparing to enter when one of the soldiers stopped me.

Who goes there, and what is your role in the palace?

I looked at the guard who said that, and he was so massive and enormous that I was afraid I'd get bitten, so I decided to speak up.

I'm Lora, the daughter of Emilia, the wife of the Chief in Council. I've come to meet the Alpha because I need to speak with him about something.

As I was saying this, I heard the guard laugh.

Little one, how dare you come into the palace and think you can simply walk in and talk to the Alpha without an invitation? Leave now, or you'll get in trouble.

I am not a small man, I said confidently, I am knowledgeable and wise, and I will not go anywhere unless I see the Alpha.

I sat down in front of him, and he kept staring at me as if I were insane; as he was going to take me up and hurl me away, we both heard a voice.

Let her be guard, as she says before she has a word for me, because she is a guest.

I strolled into the palace after looking at the guard and sticking out my tongue at him. To demonstrate my respect, the Alpha and I continued walking without saying anything.

So, little girl, what word do you have for me? he asked as he looked at me.

My Alpha, I came here, I replied, nervously, to seek your response about my father.

Who is this father you're referring to?

My father is the chief in council, and my mother is Emily, thus I am the last child in my family, and I have come here respectfully to request that you accept my father as the beta.

Wow, little one, you talk with authority, and I like that. I admire your guts and am glad you came here to speak on behalf of your father; yes, your father came for the competition but has not yet made a decision.

So, my Alpha You don't know my father very well; he's a bold man who is always engaged in his profession; having him as your beta would never make you regret your decision, so please allow my father to be your beta; I'd be grateful. According to what I've heard, you're a nice and well-known man who fights for everyone's rights while also being blessed with a lovely son whom I have yet to meet; nevertheless, if you allow my father prove his worth to you, I promise you there's nothing to worry about.

After I said that, I noticed how he stared at me, and for a brief moment, I wondered whether I had said something that had enraged him.

You're a smart one, little one, and I'll have to do this for your bravery and politeness. He smiled as he glanced down at me. Tell your father that I have chosen him to be my betta and that he is welcome to visit the palace tomorrow.

I was so pleased when I heard it, and I knew it was the best news I'd ever heard, so I jumped out of his present and ran back to him, bowing.

Thank you, sir. You have no idea how grateful I am for what you just did, or how joyful my heart is. Thank you so much, sir; you are a wonderful person.

I dashed out the door, heading home, and ran into the same guy from before.

Hey, it's you again, he said.

Yes, it is I. I had just left the palace and was on my way home.

You went to the palaces? He inquired of me...

The palace, yes. I told him...

What brought you there?

I glance at him, trying to figure out why he's asking me such a strange question.

Hey, cute boy, you may be attractive, but don't ask me a question like that, please.

Okay, I was simply interested as to why, and I apologize for any offense caused.

It nothing,Whether you're curious, I went to see the Alpha to ask if my father could be his beta. I said with a cheerful tone.

Really?

Yes really, really correct.

But why will you do that, he inquired?

Are you speaking to me or the walls?

You know I'm asking you why did you doing that, so he agreed.

Yes, he did, and I thank him.

Pay attention, young lady.

No, my name is Lora, and I am not a girl.

Okay, it's a lovely name, but Lora, you just made a mistake, and you should decline that offer.

And why is this the case?

Because I am quite familiar with the Alpha.

You do.

Yes, and you should keep away from him.

You speak to me as if you know him; are you his son?

I noticed him caressing his hair after I said that.

No, I am not his son; I am simply someone attempting to assist.

Well, thanks for your assistance; I must depart now, cute guy; see you later.

And with that, I bolted, intending to return to my house to inform my family of the wonderful news.

When I got home, I noticed my mother approaching me.

Hello, Mom. What happened? Who makes you so tense?

Lora, where have you been? We've been looking for you.

Do not be concerned, mum; I have not lost anything; I simply went to the palace and that is all.

You visited the Palace? Walking up to me, I heard my father say.

Yes, father, I did, and I have good news for you.

What news could you possibly have, Lora? With your duck head, you'll never be able to make things right unless you always cause trouble. Gudi, my brother, says.

And just look at her as she walks to the palace, how vexing. Sarah, my sister, also talked.

My father roared at them, "Can the two of you keep shut?" Lora has more sense than the both of you, even with the large brian you two have.

I giggle as I smile and glance at my brother and sister.

My father inquired, "How lora, tell me what you went to the palace to do?"

So, father, I've gone to beg you to be the beta.

What, my father was taken aback.

Yes, father, and guess what you've been chosen for, I exclaim joyfully.

You mean I was chosen?

Yes, father, you have been chosen, and the alpha has told me that you can visit the palace tomorrow.

Lora What are you saying, my mother turned me around, and I hope you're not joking?

Mother, why will I make fun of you while telling you the truth? Mother, I went there, and he stated it himself. If you don't believe me, I'm not going to believe you, I say fiercely.

My father hugged me as I was about to leave.

Thank you, my kid; you have no idea how delighted I am; you have been a blessing to me and your mother, and I don't know how to express how grateful I am.

You don't have to be concerned, Father; if I don't make you happy, who will?

We're right here, you know. Gudi and Sarah both stated...

Thank you for your bravery, and I wish you get your power just like every other wolf's has..

After my mother's said that, I felt my happiness convert to sadness; since birth, I've been as helpless as nothing, with no power and just being average. I give my mom a phony smile as I walk into my room, closing the door, and open my window. I smiled as I looked up at the sky and saw how the moonlight shone on me.

I want be like the other wolf, I don't want to be different, I wish I could be like the other and make things easier for me, and who was the guy before, I wonder. Why didn't he want me to accept the Alpha's offer? Why did he suggest my father shouldn't be the beta? Did he know the Alpha? Is there something going on at the palace that no one is aware of? What if something bad happens if my father goes there? No, it must be a lie; he does not want my father to be the beta; perhaps he is jealous. I walked to my bed and turned out the light. Soon after, I began hearing voices outside my window, and as a result, I couldn't sleep, so I stood up and went to my wisdom to shut it, but before I did so, I noticed a blueish eye peering at me, and before I knew it, it had run away.

What is that hack, and who is that person?

I look around without seeing anyone, why will a won't come to my window? I ask myself this question, I shut the window going to my bed and lay down. I oray tomorrow should be a great day.
