Alpha Osiris by Naomi D

Lily’s pov

My brother Eddie and I are the only ones of my family still in high-school. As the next Alpha in line Eddie is pretty popular, I am happy to say he’s not one of the mean kids. I know being an Alpha can go to your head. There is this kind of hierarchy in most packs with Alpha on top, then Beta, Gamma, the rest and the omega’s. The rich families fall somewhat between Gamma and Beta I guess. I am not one of the popular kids, but no one dares to mistreat me. They just avoid me.

I have my own small group of friends, Sasha and Aubree were my friends since we were four. They are the most loyal friends you can have, but always tell me the truth when I need it. We usually hang out in the drama room when we have a free period. I couldn’t act if my life dependent on it, I am horrible at pretending or lying. But Sasha and Aubree are absolutely brilliant and have been the leads in most plays. I help with the set pieces, I love to paint.

That’s where I am headed right now, to see if I can finally finish painting the Victorian backdrop for our Jane Austen play. We’re doing ‘Pride and Prejudice’ this year. I told Sasha and Aubree about my evening with Alpha Osiris and they were both proud and shocked at the same time.

“You dared to speak up against an Alpha? And not just any, but Alpha Osiris?! I heard he killed men for simply looking at him,” Sasha said.

“I couldn’t contain myself, I really tried to be friendly. I know I shouldn’t have said anything, but he was so rude to me.” I paused “what are the chances of me running into him again. I am sure he’s already forgotten about me."

“But none of the guests were Emma mate?” Aubree asked. She continued “She’s about to turn 20 and has had so many chances of running into her mate now. I really wonder who it will be.”

hadn’t seen that love between her parents growing up. Her mother had taken the loss of her mate hard and Aubree was often left to fend for herself, until my father stepped in. The last few years Aubree’s mom had really been trying to be there for Aubree, but I always saw Aubree
