“I’m not going to kneel!”

"Is this the building we need to go to?" Solaris ignores her friend's strange reaction and points to a building on the far right where she can see through a thinner fog now, that there are many people in front.

"Yes, but we can't go there yet." Elleia firmly holds Sol's hand.

"Why not?"

"We need… we need to go to them, first, and now."

"Why? Who are they? Do you know them?"

“I need to explain this very quickly, because if we are not quick and they have to repeat themselves, we will be punished…”

"What?!"

“Look, they're the Alphas here, so don't argue, accept everything they say or ask of you. If you want to stay in this school and you don't want your life to become hell, just be really nice and obedient to them, got it? Please don't cause trouble... let's go now or we'll be dead!” Elleia starts moving across the grass to the middle of the square. "I totally forgot they'd be around here right now..." she whimpers under her breath and Sol is shocked but goes on with her eyebrows raised and a confused expression looking at the shaky white girl who goes ahead of her.

Solaris is cold and feeling soaked through.

She zips up her black puffed jacket, her wet golden hair is all tucked inside it.

Sol is glad her father gave her money to buy new winter clothes, so she could buy this jacket and her new big brown leather boots, which she can realize that she's going to need a lot to use every day from now on. The boots cover the toe of her blue skinny jeans, protecting her from the muddy grass.

Incomprehensibly to her, Elleia and the rest of the people weren't wearing much more than light jackets, light shirts or not even shirts, as she sees some guys.

Elleia actually only wears a white dress with some lining underneath, although it's wet and clinging to her slender body, it's not see-through at least. She also carries with her a small cloth bag on her back.

Solaris had also taken her backpack with her documents, but it is heavy, filled with many other travel things that didn't fit in the larger suitcase in the trunk.

Elleia stops at the end of a long line in front of the secretary building and takes her bag from her back, she is shaking as she whimpers to herself and searches for something inside it.

"What's up?" Solaris stands behind her and whispers.

Elleia, silencing her, says “no, we can't talk now. Just wait until they let us go.”

Sol sighs and looks at the middle of the square. Some Alphas, for some reason she knows they are the Alphas Elleia spoke of. They are in front of them, talking to each other and laughing. It's a group of 4 guys and 2 girls.

Her attention then goes to another group of 3 more Alphas talking to someone in the middle of the line, that is when Solaris hears a command that makes her body flinch and she raises her eyebrow more, trying to understand what that was. Her eyes focus on those 3 guys, two shirtless, with shirts over their shoulders, and one dressed in team uniform.

"DO IT NOW!"

After gritting her teeth at the Alpha command and feeling her skin crawl even more than the cold already did to it, she hears a guy screaming in agony, so much it seems to hurt her. Her mouth opens and she tries to get a better look at what's going on.

She sees a ***** boy in front of the three Alphas, he looks much thinner, despite being tall, he is slender and shrunken, and doesn't have half the muscles of the others. The girl wants to look away from the scene, but she can't.

Everyone there seems to be able to hear the harrowing, loud sound of bones breaking. Sol only covers her ears in distress, but she can still hear the boy's scream. This seems to be the most terrifying and torturous sound she has ever heard, the girl gapes at the sight of the boy squirming in front of the three Alphas who watch with some amusement.

“What the hell, Elleia? What's going on there?"

“He's probably an omega, it's not easy for them to transform. Urgh… actually, for most of us, it's not very easy, not at this age. I know it's awful. Just don't do anything stupid, just stay still, okay?”

Solaris was too shocked to do anything, anyway. She just stood there and watched bit by bit, scream by scream, the boy transforming through excruciating pain. He was bending over on all fours and the bones apparently started to break and join back together, pulling at the skin. There was also fur pointing through the boy’s ***** body.

It was as if something under his skin was alive and moving, walking and crawling, painfully inside the boy. And it makes her so anxious and afraid to watch, but still for some reason she couldn't help it.

Sol’s heart has been crushed, her hand is over her lips and her expression is as tormented as the boy's own.

She'd seen her father transformed once or twice, but never the process, she could never have imagined it would be something like this.

When Solaris didn't breathe properly for minutes, the boy finally seemed to have disappeared completely, to make room for a large wolf, larger than the natural ones, but reaching around the Alphas' waist. His fur was gray and he just stood there looking at the boys in front of him with his head down, close to the ground.

"That was the most shocking thing I've ever seen in my life... and the scariest." Solaris still covers her mouth and whispers mortified to Elleia, her breathing ragged. “Why did they ask him to do this?”

"I don't know. I-I think he must have behaved badly… it's one of the worst punishments…"

"What?! Is this a punishment?!" Her voice is almost squeaky.

Then with that some of the Alphas look at her, Sol has never been in front of an Alpha's glare, and that was downright scary. She panics and retreats, hiding behind the row and her friend, who also freezes beside her.

She only catches her breath when she hears the Alphas talking again with someone else in the row, and she remains, quiet this time, listening to what they say.

It’s a girl talking to them.

"So, pretty Beta, anything to say to your Alphas?"

“That you look very handsome today, as always, Jared” she answers seductively to the biggest of them in the team's uniform and shows him an expensive gift box. “I went to Switzerland with my family for the holiday, and we brought you this latest Rolex model, it's a limited edition” she opens the case and a diamond-encrusted golden watch makes the Alpha smile.

"Oh, that's someone who knows how to please her Alphas properly." Jared takes the watch out of the box immediately and puts it on.

“You should have brought one for me too,” Noah, another light-haired Alpha behind Jared, complains.

“Like I said, it was a limited edition.” she retorts.

"Don't be greedy, Noah." Jared is delighted with his gift and playfully slaps Noah's chest with the back of his hand. “Your Alpha loved it, Beta. You have a fantastic taste.”

“Cool, glad to hear you liked it, Alpha!”

She was still smiling teasingly as he turned to the other girl beside her.

“I'm sorry Alphas, my family didn't travel on this vacation and we don't have a lot of money. I didn't know what to buy...so I brought this for you. It's all my money!” It's a gamma girl and she holds out her hands with some dollar bills.

Tyler wastes no time in getting everything together and starting to count, but Jared doesn't look happy.

“That's such a lazy attitude, gamma. I'm so disappointed. Is this how you think you will please your Alphas? I think you can do better than that.”

“I haven't been able to figure out something that Alphas like you would like. You seem to have everything…”

“What is that you're wearing? Is it cashmere? In this wet weather? How is it so good?”

“Yes… it's cashmere, it looks really good. It was a gift from Jude,” she points to the Beta next to her.

“You see, she knows how to give great gifts. And maybe she can save you from that too. Hey, Kecen!” He calls one of the Alpha girls with the other group in the center of the square.

“What do you think of this sweater? Would you like it?”

“Yeah, well, it looks really cute” A stunning Alpha girl approaches them.

“So it is yours. Take it out, gamma.”

She immediately nods her head and starts to undress it.

It was good enough for them to turn to a boy next in line. But this gamma boy was not so lucky, he also offered all his money.

"But it's not even half of what she gave us and she's also a gamma!" Jared complains in a scary tone.

"I-I'm sorry, Alphas..." the guy shivers.

"Oh, you better be!”

"I think he's asking for a lesson, Jared." Tyler holds the money, a little annoyed that it's only $200, and like Santa, he has a bag of post-holiday gifts already collected from the line, which he holds over his shoulders.

“This isn't the kind of consideration a gamma should have towards their Alphas, pup,” Noah says, surrounding the guy with his muscular size and easily outmaneuvering him to make him feel even more inferior.

A mastery technique of domination that Alphas knew how to do very well.

“Alphas, I swear that's all I've got…” He looks up to try to face the big guys around him, all well over six feet, and he cringes so his speech sounds like the desperate plea it was. "I didn't have anything else, you can search me... or even my house if you want... I..." With each word he gets tighter and smaller, and at the last he's falling to his knees begging. “I'm sorry, I'll get you some more… I'll find a way to double, Alphas. Tomorrow. Please, let me through. Please, forgive me!"

“Do we believe him?” Jared asks his friends.

“Say who is your Alpha?! Say it loud!” Noah yells at him through his teeth an Alpha command, so he can watch the gamma squirm at his feet.

After they've finished humiliating him enough, they turn to Elleia who was right after the boy crying on the floor. She looks even more like a ghost now, her blood completely drained from her cheeks, she stares at her hands clutching her bag in front of her, like a dead stone.

And like a little slave, she stands with her head down, not daring to raise it up a millimeter towards them. Already losing her sanity, she keeps repeating to herself in her mind how certain she was that she was going to die today.

How could she forget that the Alphas would be here in the square this early in the morning?!

She wants to cry, as she hears them turning to talk to her.

“And you, gamma girl, will you be another disappointment? Or will you know how to be nice to your Alphas?” Jared leads the way in the conversation with his most cocky grin yet, after having his ego massaged by the last Wolves.

“Alphas, I don't have much money, but I know that's no excuse, so I've tried so hard to make something you like…” She shivers as she pulls a crumpled and wet cardboard gift box from her bag. “But I had an accident on the way here…”

Elleia opens the box and a colorful cake is glued to the top of the box, all broken and weird. "I swear it's really good, if you just taste it..."

"You're kidding me, right?" Jared looks at the gamma seriously thinking she's trying to make a joke of him, but from her cringing, submissive demeanor, it doesn't seem like she would be someone brave enough for that. Still, he looks pretty confused. "Are you really thinking I'm going to eat something disgusting like this?"

The friends of his are already laughing their lungs out at this point. Even Kecen went back near the line to find out what was going on.

"But if you don't want it, I can make you another one, I promise."

"If I do not want it? IF I DO NOT WANT IT?! She said if I don’t want it, guys!”

With those indignant screams from Jared; Tyler and Noah started laughing even harder and now all the Alphas in the square are looking at them and joining in the ruckus like Kecen to see what's inside the box.

“No, gamma. Of course I do… I'll show you what I want to do with it.” Jared says with his best sarcastic voice and an evil grin, picks up the wet paper plate with the broken cake inside the box - still held by the girl's shaking hands - and turns it to face her, then smash it entirely in her face. He continues to spread it all over her forehead and hair as she stands there waiting for him to finish. Jared goes until all the cake has fallen from her body to the floor.

There isn't a place on her face that isn't completely covered in plasters, coverings, and multicolored cream.

“Now seems like a more appropriate place for that shit you've offered me, gamma. You're so done, girl. When we're done with your punishment, you'll wish to…”

“Enough of that! What do you think you're doing?! Who do you think you are to do that to someone?” The fierce gamma has had enough, Solaris is on edge and taunts them with her wildest indignant eyes.

Everyone around them fell silent and all the low-rankings stopped breathing for what felt like the longest second, while all eyes are placed on the new girl.

'What do YOU ​​think you're doing, Solaris?' Solaris hears a frightened female voice to ask, which doesn't seem to be coming from anywhere and she looks around confused.

"What is this? Who said that?" She mutters looking crazy, as the Alphas overshadow her with their sizes, hovering around her and surrounding the gamma, seeming to inspect every part of her.

'They're Alphas, you crazy human! Just bow and ask for forgiveness!' Solaris still can't understand where the voice that speaks to her is coming from, but now she seems more concerned about the 3 Alphas circling her and looking very menacing. Three immensely huge guys, plus a very intimidating girl further behind them, with her arms crossed wondering if the gamma has gone mad.

“Please, Alphas. Just forgive her! She's new, she doesn't know what she's doing!” Elleia interrupts the growing savage silence and tries to defend her new friend and avoid carnage.

“Elleia! We can't let them treat you like that!" Sol explains to her friend, confused by her attitude.

“Stop it, just kneel!” Elleia whispers desperately.

"What?! I'm not going to kneel to these guys! Ever!" Considering her human life and her concepts, doing that would be completely unacceptable to her, it would never happen.

But her attitude, with clear disgust as she denies it, makes Jared laugh. Solaris raises her eyes to him, latching onto the tall Alpha's marked jawline with a wispy blond beard. He is stopped in front of her and she focus him, while all her nerves try to stay aware of the other 2 circling her, on her back.

"So she's new?" Jared looks more amused now. “I've never really seen her around. I would not forget such a beautiful face.” He smiles and Solaris tilts her head defiantly.

"Or such a pretty ***. Nice body, gamma." And the three boys start laughing at Tyler's comment from the back, who even dares to touch her like it's no big deal, making sure of his own assessment. It makes the anger spark in Solaris' bluer eyes, who turns fiercely to him and knocks his hand off her leg.

Solaris unintentionally has the most seductive and intense eyes a girl can have, but at this moment they burn with hatred in the pretentious face of the gel-black-haired Alpha, Tyler, even though he is twice her size.

“Don't tease her, Tyler. We can let it go, all you have to do is give me a kiss.” Noah says putting himself between her and Tyler.

The boy stares at her swollen, glossy lips.

Solaris has always been supposedly the most irresistible and kissable girl at her human school.

Everyone told her that, and made her all sorts of proposals, though she was always too intimidating to be treated like this by a human.

The problem was that she was also always the center of attention, for her cheerleading title and her great physical abilities. So Sol is kind of used to be wanted, but even getting all the popularity someone can get, she's never really enjoyed it much, as if something was missing.

Until she joined a pack! A few days ago. And her last few days felt like she was alive for the first time in her life.

Because although she attracted so much attention from the guys, none of them seemed interesting to her. And facing these Alphas now, beside the fact she was disgusted by them, she could clearly see what was missing all this time.

The Wolf part.

The part that was really betraying her now and making her feel as hot about them as she'd never felt about anyone else.

Something about their Alpha Wolves' aura of power, so big and confident made them sexy as hell. She looked at Noah's red lips and almost felt as if she really wanted to make out with him there, to be pulled into his strong muscular arms, and to be possessed by him, in a savagely wet kiss, as only a Wolf would be able to. Almost wanted to let herself be ruled by their most intrinsic instincts, without even caring about being in front of everyone else.

Luckily her conscience was still working fine and she pushed those feelings aside and let the anger come back to dominate her body.

"Never! I'll never kiss you, no way!"

“What is this gamma thinking of herself? Okay, you're hot, but you know what? There isn't a single female around here who wouldn't be honored to be asked to get along with one of their Alphas, and they would gladly do so here and now! At this very moment!”

“Alright, boys. Let me take her money and let's move on,” Kecen interrupts them, not looking so interested in this whole conversation anymore and trying to avoid worse outcomes.

She bends down to grab Solaris' backpack from the wet grass, but Sol quickly does the same and grabs it along with the Alpha girl. Kecen can't believe this rookie and pulls the backpack out of her hand like a tug war.

“Just do what she said, just give them your money, please!” Elleia asks with a shaky voice trying to pull the bag too and making a triangle with the material of the backpack.

"No! Of course not, I won't give them my money! I need it!" Solaris angrily responds and she feels some of the guys at her back putting his hands on her waist.

She opens her mouth and in pure rage tries to push him away by turning to elbow him. For some reason, just then, Kecen lets go of Sol's bag, which flies after her.

All Solaris has time to do is turn around and everything seems to happen in slow motion from there.

With all the certainty in the world, she knew the moment her eyes fell on him, among a few other guys approaching the central square: he was another of them, an Alpha, but not just a simple Alpha.

An entire crew followed behind him.

Dark military hair, fierce face, intimidating jaw line, shirtless like some of the other Alphas out there, but even bigger. He had so many tattoos on his perfectly defined muscles, it was covering all of his immense arms and pecs.

The girl's entire body shudders at the sight and she watches the scene lifelessly. The bag goes straight for him; the Alpha, not expecting anything like this, just has time to raise his arm to defend his face and it hits against the material, but everything inside seems to fall on him, including a plastic bottle that burst on impact and left him completely wet.

The newly arrived Alpha's eyes are on the ground and his expression is indescribable.

And all she hears are the most frightened whispers:

“Did she just throw a bag over Alpha Altair?”

“Did this gamma attack an Alpha?”

“She just hit Altair! The biggest Alpha in the school!”

"I can't believe she did this, she's so dead..."

Although the anxious voices pass through her ears, Solaris keeps her eyes on the scene as if nothing else is happening and time had stopped. Until he lifts his eyes straight at her, his face as fierce and savage as an Alpha could be and he growls. Her body vibrates heavily at the sound, but she doesn't have time to think about anything else.

Elleia takes her hand and pulls her out of there, running like mad out of the square, as if their lives depended on it, and apparently they did.
