Caoimhe: The Dethroned Alpha

"Where do you think you are going, Caoimhe?" I stopped walking when I heard my mother talking to me. I was trying to sneak out and I guessed I didn't succeed this time.

"I just want to drink some water." I lied and I was shaking because of my mom's cold stares at me.

"Kiddo? Do you think I will believe you?" She told me and I took a deep breath and headed back to my room.

I failed to sneak out but I didn't lose hope, there's always another time to do it without being caught. I slammed my body to my bed and looked at the ceiling. I wish my father was still here so he could cover up if mom caught me missing.

"I need to sleep now." I told myself and shook my head. I closed my eyes and I fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up when I heard noises outside so I went out of my room and saw the beta of our pack. He smiled at me when he saw me walking downstairs.

"Good morning, Caoimhe!" He greeted me and I smiled at him.

"Good morning, Beta Kaapo! Are you looking for my Mom?" I asked him and that's when I heard my Mom's voice talking to someone in the kitchen.

"She's with some sentinel and they were reporting a trespassing incident on our land." Beta Kaapo answered and there was one pack that I knew could do that.

"Ethereal Pack!" I said and I went directly to the kitchen. They stopped talking when they saw me entering and mom immediately looked at me.

"Young lady, we are still in the middle of an important meeting so please let us have some moment to talk in private." Mom told me but I insisted on staying.

"I should teach them some lessons, they are always entering our land without any notice." I told them and mom took a sigh and walked towards me.

"You are still a child and war is always your solution to everything. You can't live long if you always wanted a battle against them." Mom answered and I smirked at her.

"Mom, can't you see that they are abusing your kindness to them." I was mad when mom couldn't get my point. She just smiled at me and patted my head.

"Get back here later after I calm my daughter." Mom instructed the sentinels and they went out of the kitchen.

There was a long silence between me and my mom. She got a glass of water and handed it to me. I took a sip and put the glass on the counter.

"We need to talk, Caoimhe!" Mom said when I started walking away.

"Will you lecture me again?" I asked her and she just looked at me.

"Proving something doesn't require any war or battle. If you can talk with them then do it. Always think about how you can protect our pack and not how you will put them in danger." She told me and it made sense to me. I nodded my head and she hugged me tightly.

"You will be the next female alpha and I don't want you to make a decision that will put our pack at risk." She added and I nodded my head.

"Yes, mom! I am sorry!" I told her and she held my shoulder. I looked at her and she smiled at me.

"Grab your breakfast and I need to visit some of the elders for their opinion about this incident." She said and walked away. I was left alone in the kitchen so I got myself a plate and filled it with food.

I walked to the living room and started eating my breakfast there. When I finished eating, I heard a knock on the main door so I went there to open it. It was Vada and she smiled at me when she saw me.

"I heard that some wolves from the Ethereal pack entered our land again." Vada said while I was washing the plate and utensils that I used.

"They always do that because mom always forgives them." I answered and she laughed at me.

"You are mad again! We can't win against them, their pack is too huge for us." Vada told me and I smirked at her.

"Exactly, that's why I'm proposing to my mom that I will join the scouts." I answered and she looked surprised at what I said.

"You what?" She asked me and I guessed she couldn't digest what I said.

"You heard it, Vada! Don't overreact!" I told her and she smiled at me.

"And that came from you, huh?" She said and she was teasing me.

"Stop talking and we need to go to the center." I told her and she looked confused. I started walking towards the main door.

"Why will we go there?" She asked and I stopped walking.

"I want to watch how Delta Hugo trains omegas and pubs." I answered and we went out of my house.

I used my bike and she went to her big bike. I started biking toward the center and I stopped when we got there. I parked my bike outside and we went inside the center.

"Greet the daughter of our alpha." Delta Hugo instructed his students and they greeted me.

"Thank you for your warm welcome!" I told them and they went back to their training.

"Your mom told me that you wanted to watch how I train the omegas and pubs wolves." Delta Hugo said and he offered a seat for me and Vada.

"Yes, we need them to be skilled enough for future purposes." I answered and Delta Hugo smiled at me.

"All the techniques that I taught them were from the lectures of the late Delta Franco." Delta Hugo said and I nodded my head.

"Then I guessed they were suffering from your lessons?" I asked him and he laughed at me.

"That is given if they want to be trained well." Delta Hugo answered and he had a point.

Delta Hugo started the training again and we were just watching them. It was the late Delta, who trained me and Vada. He was strict about our training and I guessed it was really helpful for us. I learned a lot from him even though I always went home with bruises and wounds.

We decided to go to the border of our land and check what happened there. We were sneaking and luckily we made it without being caught.
