Diary of a Teenage Alpha

Big-hearted and witty, Samantha Kingsley is the Alpha's daughter who grew up learning to meet everyone's expectations. But Samantha isn't a pup anymore, she's in high school now, and is just about to discover that her life is written by her choices. Not by dreams, or prophecies, or even the moon goddess. This girl is going to protect the happiness of her pack and everyone she loves. Read her diary here. Updated every night. Mon-Sat Volume Synopsis VOL 1 It's the first week of school. Despite my failed attempt to make a friend, I somehow ended up surrounded by a handful of wolf classmates, got accepted by the human "cool" girls, and became a vampire's guard dog? VOL 2 I think I'm just starting to get the hang of school. From navigating school halls, new friends, vampires, and school clubs... Back home it should have been the usual drill, but things started shifting. And I urm...might have been messing around where I shouldn't. VOL 3 I had to miss a couple of school days this week due to my ah, long term bout of "anemia". It's been pretty intense at home. My alpha position was challenged, rogues burnt down our home, I rescued my first fight dog, discovered the Lorent's secret oracle, almost rescued my mate...and accidentally stumbled into my Alpha Dad's secret. VOL 4 My worlds collide as some members from my pack come to my school to sell concert tickets. And when Grandpa Alpha shocked us all by dying, my dad's family comes together to pay their last respects at the Night Forest Pack. VOL 5 It's February and the Vampire Queen is celebrating her birthday. Would Rebel's plan to escape work out? Meanwhile, I'm stuck in school dealing with high school drama, an evolving wolf, and a new human sister. In the Red Packlands, war nearly breaks out. (This might have been a very little bit my fault.) VOL 6 It's the week of Valentine's Day, but I've got a highschool play, Lorent drama, Vampire slaying training, and an underground army to deal with first. And then warlock weather threw an extended snowstorm at us. The whole of Green Packlands goes into lockdown - but what about Valentine's Day? VOL 7 Exams are a week away, and it feels like my time at Winderhill is really coming to a close. I'm trying to be a good student, but there are paparazzi camped outside my school, I ran with rogues (I'm shocked too), Maria just had to enter her dark cycle in school...My life is too exciting to study for exams. VOL 8 It's exam week, but I've got far greater problems brewing at home. The prophecies are merging. River's stone had unlocked warlock trouble, the rogue king has moved in, and then there's Uncle Louis' economical problems... one at a time. Just let me survive Code Black and figure out what's going on at Heller's first, and I'm sure everything else will work out somehow. VOL 9 Its the last week of school and the exams are over. Its like for better or worse, all the big bad things are over now. At home, My pack works to clean up the aftermath of the rogue war, the warlock's defeat, and Jude's betrayal. In school, everyone treats me more or less the same... like a freak. Meanwhile, our school play is in dire straights, and as the Last Hurrah's debut draws near, I get ready to say good bye to Winderhill for good. VOL 10 We follow Dad to the past to stop the traitor (AKA Jude), from ever stepping into our Packlands. It would've been a good plan too - if it didn't change EVERYTHING. Now, I can't help but feel my life is ruined. Nobody understands me. Is it selfish of me to wish none of this ever happened? Why does my world have to be so magical?

I WAS WAY OVER MY HEAD

You know that joke about why the chicken crossed the road? Exactly! Even the chicken could cross the road! I was the ALPHA! I wanted to argue my case so bad! Why did Dad have to limit me to this side of the road?

But I didn't. I wanted to, but I didn't. It was just a flash of realization, but there were too many onlookers. My Dad could be reasoned with, but it would be easier for him if it wasn't in front of an audience. Also, as I glared at the road that was now the black dividing line between me and the other half of our newly expanded pack, I also realized that the line Dad had drawn was big enough for a buffet line, a live performance stage, and a dance floor. It was a very fat line.

Technically, as long as I stayed on the road, I wouldn't exactly be crossing it, would I? I wasn't sure if this was by omission or design, but Dad left me ample wriggle room.

My hair had flared at first, but it calmed the moment I realized this, "Okay."

For some reason, this surprised the adults around me.

"What?" Dad asked.

"I said okay." I nodded agreeably, "I won't cross to the other side."

I took another bite of my ham and cheese croissant, "This is really good."

"Sam..." Mum pressed her lips together.

Hn?

"Your dad is doing this for your own good." Mum said.

"Yeah. I know." I answered, momentarily confused. I said okay, didn't I?

Mum sighed, "If you're up to anything..."

"I'm not!" Seriously! How could my own mother suspect me like this?

"Hoo boy. She's definitely up to something." Beta Lucas was Dad's beta, but growing up I always felt he always sided me over Dad secretly – and always sided Mum openly. I don't think Dad knew this, but he was really Priority #3 to his beta.

"Sam..." Beta Lucas decided to get down to the truth of the matter, "What exactly do you mean by 'okay'?"

I'm not sure how many ways "okay" could mean. I had always used it to mean "okay."

Lizzy tried to help, "Dad, if Sam said okay, then it's okay. Sam always keeps her promise."

Beta Lucas shrugged, "Yes...yes, but I'm asking Sam."

Sorry Beta Lucas, Sam is too stupid to understand how to answer you. I tried anyway, "I won't cross over to the other side of the road."

"You won't cross over to the other side of the road?" Beta Lucas repeated. He paused, and then he asked, "Are you sure, Sam?"

Which made me wonder too. Why? Did he WANT me to cross over to the other side of the road?

"Yeah?" I answered. But I stopped sounding sure now.

"Yeah?" Beta Lucas repeated. Which only confused me more.

Dad frowned, "I suppose if you really want, you can come with me later."

Well, it's not that I really wanted to. I mean, I could meet them on the road too - so it was okay, really. It was more like I was really confused.

"Okay." I agreed again.

Dad nodded, "Okay."

"Yah man. Okay." Beta Lucas nodded.

I decided to go back to finishing off my croissant and would have brushed the entire episode off as just another one of those conversations I was too slow to follow when I accidentally caught wind of Sabre and Lizzy's private mindlinks.

{Sigh. It's always like that.} Savy observed aloud, {In the end, they'd always cave in to Sam.}

{Yah.} Lizzy sounded amused, {I never thought I'd see my Dad backpedal so quickly.}

{You'd never see Dad let me cross the road.} Savy huffed into the mindlink, {They never let ME do anything.}

{Yeah, it's too bad Sam can't help you meet River...} Lizzy started and then she stopped.

You could literally see the light bulb shine through the mindlink.

Savy was obviously on the same track, "Sam?"

I swallowed my sandwich, "Yeah?"

Like given that I just overheard their mindlink, shouldn't I have come in cooler? But no... I needed a swig of juice too. So I took a quick drink while Savy smiled like an angel.

Today, Savy was wearing a white billowy blouse and white capris. With her blond shoulder length curls and silver grey eyes... I mean, no wonder River thought she was a fairy! I felt she rather looked like one today.

Savy looked really nice in this look. It was all light and natural and feminine . I mean, the maroon threads and leather jacket with black torn jeans she wears to school was cool, but this look was very becoming on her.

"Sam?" Savy asked again. I think she noticed I was distracted. I put down my drink, "Yeah?"

Right. Lizzy and Savy wanted me to help them. I nodded. Naturally, I was going to do my best!

"Are you going to the Spring Equinox Concert?" Savy asked innocently.

I knew the answer to this. I nodded affirmative, "Yes. I am!"

Well, excuse me for the less than natural response! I was determined not to mess up, and unfortunately, my reply came out a tad over enthusiastically. Like that of a really bad actress. I winced internally, but it didn't look like the adults noticed.

"What are you doing after that?" Savy asked.

I knew the answer to that too! I smiled widely and announced confidently, "I'm going out with Hen and Marc and the others."

My answer caught Savy by surprise. It wasn't just Savy, the adults looked up from their picnic too.

"Who?" Savy asked.

"Hen..." I was going to list all my friends when I realized she wouldn't know them, so I said, "My friends from Winderhill. They're coming for the concert and then we're meeting after the concert to hang out for a while."

Savy raised her brows at that, then she turned to Mum, "How come Sam can stay out and I can't?"

From the look on Mum's face, this late night outing was news to her too. She looked at Dad. Dad shrugged and looked at Beta Lucas. Beta Lucas pulled out his phone to check, "Ah, yes, here it is."

He read out the memo, "Permission to host the Young Alpha Henry of Silver Mountain and company at the Langston Coffee House. Hoo boy, that's a fancy hang out, Sam. Permission Status: Waiting for Response. Purpose: to extend hospitality and nurture good relations with VIP guests visiting Gate City for the Spring Equinox Concert. Persons: Young Alpha Henry, Young Alpha Marcus, Liam, Jasmine, possibly 3 or more human classmates from Winderhill High. Accompanied by: Ki, and Harvey. Security detail on duty: Da da da da yup, looks like it checks out Alpha."

"Permission granted." Dad decided.

Savy looked beseechingly at Mum. Mum looked accusingly at Dad.

Dad cleared his throat, "Sam is on official duty."

Urm yeah. Sure. But now Savy was looking at me. I winced.

"What if I took Savy with me?" I asked meekly, "Oh, and Lizzy too."

Because I couldn't not see Lizzy's puppy dog eyes.

"And why would you need Savy and Lizzy to come with you?" Mum asked before Dad could do anything dumb like agree.

"Ah... Urm..." I looked at Savy and Lizzy for help, but they were just looking at me with those hopeful eyes, "Ah..."

Where were my betas when I needed them?

"Oh!" I thought of something, "I'm thinking maybe I should ask River to come hang out too."

I remembered Henry and River's last discussion in school, "Hen, River, and I have a plan!"

"A plan, Sam?" Beta Lucas asked, "What kind of plan?"

"A future corporation plan! It would be good for River to come hang out so we can talk about it." I decided, quite on the spot.

The men nodded.

"What has this got to do with Savy and Lizzy?" Mum asked. Mum had always been the sharper adult in my life.

"Urm..." I was really winging it here, "She can help me convince River to... to… you know…"

Seriously, Savy totally owed me for this one.

"What is it, Sam?" Dad frowned.

"Oh." Beta Lucas was the first to sit up at that. He leaned over to Dad and whispered, "You know, Alpha… what we discussed yesterday night…"

What did they discuss yesterday night? Omo.

"Oh." Dad's frown deepened. He looked me in the eye, "Are you SURE, Sam?"

"Yeah?" I answered, not sounding sure at all, but this was because I had NO IDEA what I was being sure of.

"I see." Dad said, "Sam. As you father, you must know I have my concerns, but I can understand your decision."

Really? Because I didn't understand what was happening at all.

"You have my support, Sam." Dad said seriously, "You know, you will always have my support."

I nodded and swallowed. What had I just gotten myself into now?

"I know."

No, I didn't.

"Things were not so complicated in my time." Dad said, "But since it has come to this, all I can say is make sure you discuss this properly with your soul mate first. If you can gain his support in this ah… venture, it would stabilize your position greatly."

Gulp. This sounded really serious.

"And one more thing." Dad said gravely, he looked like he was bearing a thousand worries though, "The both of you are sisters. Remember that Savy will be the next Luna Queen of the Snow Moon Kingdom. Perhaps it is unfair for me to ask this, but no matter what, look out for each other."

Savy nodded. I nodded too.

{What's Dad talking about?} Savy was starting to worry now.

She should be.

{I have no idea.} I admitted, {I was just agreeing so you and Lizzy could hang out with River.}

And because Savy knew me well enough to understand this was something I would do, she sighed, {Oh Sam.}

Savy had been talking like Mum a lot lately.

{Maybe it won't be as serious as it sounds.} Lizzy hoped.

Yeah. Right.

I helped myself to another croissant. If you can't beat it, eat it. Ah, no… what I meant to say was, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

I actually said that aloud, mostly to myself.

Should I be worried that the adults all nodded.

"Yah man." Beta Lucas agreed, "We'd never know till we try."

And then Dad put his large hand on my head, "You've really grown up, my puppy."
