Chapter 1 The Unseen Twist
Chapter one
Lexi.
Staring at my reflection in the mirror, I couldn't contain the broad smile that splayed across my lips.
The pink ball gown I wore fit perfectly, dangling beneath my waist. But that wasn't the reason why I was excited.
"You look pretty, Lexi" Arya, my wolf compliments. "All heads are going to be on you at the ball"
"Of course. I'll be crowned father's next in line" I blurt out.
Some people might query me for saying that when it hadnt happned yet but it was like a written law already.
I'd put in more efforts than anyone in my trainings and had gone lengths to please father enough to be crowned the next in line to his throne.
As father's eldest daughter, I'd made sure to live up to his expectations even if that meant doing things that didn't seat well with me but I'll put things back in their rightful place once I claim the throne.
Arya chuckled. "Have you prepared a big speech?"
"Of course, I have"
A soft knock on my door interrupts my conversation with Arya. "Come in"
The door slowly pushs open as Penelope, my younger sister walks in a blue ball gown. It's design was exactly like mine.
This disturbed me as Penelope and I didn't settle on having the same dress design but I brushed it off.
"It's time for the pack's annual ball festival. Father said I should fetch you" Penelope says.
"I'll join shortly" Penelope turns to walk away. "Penelope!"
She halts. "Is everything alright?"
Did she expect me to bring up the dress?. Should I bring up the dress?. It's just a silly dress, Lexi. I chide myself. It doesn't mean anything.
"Lexi, are you going to say something?"
"I just wanted to tell you that your gown looks very beautiful on you"
Penelope lets out a soft smile. "Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself"
You see, Lexi. You were just worried about nothing. "Thanks, Penelope. Shall we go to the party together?. I'm all dressed up"
"I don't see why not"
With intertwined hands, Penelope and I walked out of my bedroom chamber to the centre of the pack house where the pack annual ball was to be held.
On getting there, the party was already filled with pack members. The realization that I was late began to dawn on me.
"Would father be angry at me for coming late?" I ask Penelope.
Pelelope gave me a ludicrous gaze. "Why would he? You're the star of this party"
Brushing past a tight crowd, Penelope and I finally reached the high table where father, mother and the pack's leaders were seated.
Throwing myself down to father's knees, I apologized. "Forgive me for coming late, father"
Father remained mute before bursting into a fit of laughter. "It's okay. Get up on your feet and sit beside me"
Relieved, I do as told exchanging pleasantries with the pack leaders.
"You raised such a fine young girl, Alaric" Reginald, one of the pack leaders compliments father. "I heard she even conquered the Ponvelliion pack"
"That's my Lexi for you." Father agrees. "She's always making me proud"
"She's made a name for the Dynamite pack"
"I couldn't agree any less"
I couldn't be more elated hearing father complient me with the pack leader. It only meant that I was still in his good book.
"Now now" Father announces. "Let the real party begin"
Rising up from his feet, father holds up a wine glass; clunking it with a silver spoon as he called the party to silence. "Are we all having fun?"
"Yes!" Came a response in unison.
"Well the party is only about to get better as I, Alpha Alaric has a very important announcement to make" Father makes a dramatic pause. "It's of no news to each and everyone of you here that I am already nearing old age"
"So in order to look after my health better Father continues. "I've decided to step down from the throne"
A horror gasp filled the air. "Who would protect the pack now!?" A voice shouts in disapproval.
"And would the throne be left unprotected!?"
Father clinks his glass once more as silence filled the air. At times when I looked at father, I was in awe of him for the power he possessed as the Alpha of this pack.
With the tip of his fingers, father could make and unmake. It was a power I didn't have yet. When I ascend the throne would the lack of this power affect me?.
Shaking off my thought, I decided not to dwell on it too much. Let's think about this later, Lexi.
Turning my attention back to father, I listened intently as he continued his speech. "Put your worries to rest, people. Of course I wouldn't be descending the throne without a plan"
"I would be passing on my crown to one of my daughters who would lead the pack in my stead as your new Alpha" Father exchange glance with me. "She's made me proud beyond words and is more than worthy to be crowned your new leader"
Here it comes. Here it comes.
Father takes off his crown from his head. "It is with great joy in my heart, I give you your new Alpha and leader" Father extends his hands out towards me. "Lexi, dear"
This is it!. My moment of recognition!. I couldn't hold back my smile as I glanced down at father's outstretched arms. "Yes, father?"
"Move aside for your sister"
My heart dropped to my stomach. "W-What?"
"Penelope, come" Father calls as Penelope rises up from her seat towards father; placing her hands in his with a smile on her face.
Slowly, father seats his crown on Penelope's head. "Behold members of Dynamite pack, your new Alpha and leader; my beloved daughther, Penelope"
As the shock of the event took it's toll on me, the members of the pack cheered and applauded the reinstatement of their new Alpha and leader.
