JAYDEN

"Focus Jayden!" My father's voice booms in the field during combat training and it brings my focus back to the warrior infront of me. Craig, known as the best warrior in our pack. Never been defeated in a fight and has also been sent to different packs to train their Warriors

My father always pairs me up with him and honestly if it weren't for the fact that I don't want to become the pack laughing stock I'd let him beat my ass and get done with this shit already but I can't because I need to uphold the Rivers surname and reputation up high

Do I dare make other wolves think the deadly Alpha Killian Rivers has a weakling for a son? No way in hell, I'd never hear the end of it and it would only add to the grief he's already giving me daily

"Dammit Jayden! Where the hell is your head today!" My father yells again and this time I manage to shake off all thoughts and focus on the training but unfortunately I've already made him lose his patience

Again...

He signals to Craig to leave with just a simple look and I attempt to follow Craig so I don't get another lecture but my father's loud growl stops me in my tracks

"Where the fuck do you you think you're going?" I can see the frustration on his face.... I might be closer to achieving my goal sooner than I thought if I keep this up

"To take a shower, I'm supposed to meet with uncle Alex so I need to leave early" I answer already knowing I'm no longer going anywhere

"No you're not, you're going to tell me exactly what the hell is going on with you" He says with a low voice but his words hold authority

"Nothing, I was just a bit distracted... I'll do better tomorrow"

"You always say that but each day you become worse than what you were the previous day, what's going on Jayden?" he asks and this time he is calm and I actually consider being open with him

But I know I can't...

"I just... I don't know... Maybe I'm just not cut out for this dad" I choose to tread closely to the truth

"How can you not be cut out for this? Jayden, you're my son... My heir, this is your destiny, who you were meant to be from the moment you came into this world. It's in your blood. There's no way this life cannot be for you and for all these years I've been doing my best to train you, to let you shadow me so you can learn something about being an Alpha. I've prepared you for this and you know very well that if you wanted to take Craig down within a first try you would but you're holding back "

I've heard this so many times and I honestly wish these words had an impact on me but they don't

" Maybe I'm just not ready to take over from you "

" You've known since you turned 16 that on your 20th birthday you'll have to take over from me. This isn't news to you anymore Jayden. Your birthday is only four months away and that is more than enough time for you to work extra hard to make sure that when the time comes you are ready to take over... Your mother and I won't do this forever, you and Raina need to get in your rightful roles and lead the pack now take a break and meet me back here in two hours, I'll be taking over from Craig" he says then walks away, frustration still evident in his eyes

The mention of Raina gives me mixed emotions...

Raina is my mate and I love her so very much, I loved her from the moment I found that she was my mate. It was on her 17th birthday and her parents had invited us over to celebrate with them, I wasn't keen on going but being part of the Alpha's family means attending events even when you don't feel like it

My sister and I followed behind our parents and that evening my wolf had been so restless which was making me uneasy too but the minute we entered the Wilson househould I understood the reason behind it

My mate was there, her scent flooded my nostrils and all I could smell was Vanilla mixed with a bit of mint, the smell was so intoxicating that I lost all control and walked right over to where she was without caring that there were other people there and the look in her eyes told me that she felt it too. That night turned into a big cebration

Two years later, we are going strong, my love for her multiplies each day and there's nothing I wouldn't do for my queen. She's the center of my world and besides my sister she's very close to my heart. She is my heart, without her I'd be nothing

As much as I've been getting training to become an Alpha, Raina has been getting her Luna training as well and unlike me she's loving it. She's actually looking forward to the day I formally take over from my father

I have no doubt that she will make a great Luna, the pack loves and respects her and she reciprocates that as well. She cares for the pack, she's doveted to it and I know in her heart she has accepted the role of being a luna a long time ago. My mother also adores her and she's my sister's best friend

Her and I seem to have this life thing figured out. We are going to become leaders, respected and powerful leaders. I have a mate who loves me and an Alpha position that awaits me. What more could a guy wish for?

A lot more...

But at this point what I want doesn't matter, What matters is that I do what's right and become an Alpha. Of I fail to do this I would have failed my parents, mostly my father and I definitely would have failed Raina and I really don't want to do that... I can't bare taking away her dream of being a Luna so at this point I know what I have to do...

I know what I have to do for everyone to be happy...
