Chapter 10

When we got to the car, Skai looked at me in a "I'm prod of you" kind of manner. There was grave silence between the both of us.

I broke the silence because it was pretty wierd to just have someone smile at me like that.

"Skai, why are you smiling so sheepishly?" I asked

Finally, she bursted into avery annoying laughter, one that got me so pissed.

"Really Skai?"

I used my seat belt and decided not to say anything again. Well, in all I didn't know why exactly I was pissed because her laughter alone should not have made me so vexed.

When she could finally control the laughter, she started "Alaya, I'm not mocking you , I mean what's there to mock you for. I'm just really ahppy you got to make friends on our first day in college, I mean it's a great one though"

"So you're telling me you're laughing because I made friends?"

"No, I'm laughing because I don't know what was going on in your mind when those guys when you were trying to introduce the last guy to me, he didn't talk to you, so you really didn't have to introduce him but it's all good. And that Dylan guy is cute though but Rob looks very mature though, so I'll prefer Rob"

My Skai was a boys kind of girl, she could play her cards well. She wasn't afraid of guys and she always pointed out which was cute, mature, was going to be a good boyfriend and what have you. She was great at advising girls about boys, especially those in a relationship but she steered clear from one herself.

"Dylan is a cute guy though, Rob is cute too but I guess Dylan beats him. But the other guy, I couldn't see his face very well but from the sideview , he's cute too. They are just a trio of beauty. Rob said that he's always like that, I guess he's antisocial"

"Well.... Well.... Well.... In all, I'm really excited for you that you made friends easily today and male friends at that."

She smiled and I gave her a corresponding smile too. She got the car to a start and zoomed off. While on our way home, I couldn't help but think of why a guy would choose to be antisocial. I don't know why but I felt like I wanted to see all of them again. I was so happy for myself too that I could make friends on the first day of college.

When the car got to a pause, I came back from my long trip of funny thoughts.

"I'm happy I'm in college, Skai l. And I'm an Alpha too and I'm improving in socializing, everyday I am proud of me"

Skai smiled broadly and said, "I'm proud of you too, my love"

"Well.... Well..... Well, I've got to get going, I don't know what's in stock for me in that house" I said as I opened the door to step out

"Whatever happens Alaya, stand your ground"

I just looked at her sheepishly like I wasn't sure of what to say. Being an Alpha wasn't as easy as I saw it before, and I really wanted to be my own boss but the elders wouldn't let me be. But in all, I was ready to prove myself to them

"Hey, do you want me to come in, just in case...."

""No...no, Skai, you don't have to. I can handle this myself. I will sure stand my ground. This is me, I am Alaya"

Skai smiled at me, she believed in me even though she knew I needed her most of the time in my life. She always let me handle what I think I can but she stands as a backup.

"Bye girl, love" I said as I turned go

"Love you" She zoomed off

As I moved towards the house, I noticed a male figure stand by the doorstep. I kept wondering who it was, the afternoon was sunny afterall. When I got closer to the figure, I could tell it was Dolphus.

"Hey...... What's up?? Why are you standing like a guard here? " I asked as I walked towards him. He started walking towards me too. He wasn't smiling, he looked like he'd been vexed for a while.

When he got to me, he stopped, looked me straight in the eyes and asked, "Alaya, what are you doing? Why the heck are you doing this?" He asked holding my shoulder.

I shook myself out of his grip and replied sternly "I have no idea what you're talking about Dolphus. I'm living my life, that's exactly what I'm doing. What the heck is wromg with you?"

He tried to talk but his voice was breaking. Tears welled down his eyes. I was speechless, I held him not knowing what to say. If never seen him cry, he looked so tough.

"Dolphus.......Let's go inside" I said as I held his hands and we walked into the house to my room. When we got there, he sat on the bed and was sniffing. He wanted to man up and not cry anymore. I knew he didn't even want to cry in front of me but it just happened.

I sat next to him with my palms behind his back trying to pet him. I didn't know what to say at that point neither did I know the right question to ask. I wanted him to have his moment.

He finally broke the silence, "Alaya, I know I stand as your Luna and it's a great privilege. But please, don't let me regret this place. You'd said you were doing me a favour by making me it, but I also did you a favour because there was no other person you would rather want"

I arched my eyebrow, I knew he was saying the truth but what I didn not understand was why he would bring that up. I kept quiet and he continued, "The elders and the rest of the pack are complaining as to why you would be a leader and be going off to college"

I rolled my eyes immediately I heard it was college he wanted to talk about. I started reasoning why he was already feeling that way. I felt for him but I also want to stay on college, it's been my wildest dream aside being am alpha.

"Alaya, you shouldn't be rolling your eyes at this point. This elders want you to choose between being an Alpha and being a college girl. Alaya, you can't balance the two of them. You...." I decide to cut in there after hearing just too much of you can't balance the two.

"Dolphus, this is me and I know exactly how far I can go and what I can do. You are not me, they are definitely not me too. I am the leader, I should make my own rules, right? And that's why you're here, you should assist me"

He shook his head gently in disagreement " I might be the male here, the first ever male Luna but Alaya, you might end up playing the role of a Luna while I play the role of an Alpha which is unacceptable cause that exactly what would happened if you're always in college"

"What are you saying, Dolphus. That's exactly too far, you're thinking too far"

He went on his knees to beg me "Alpha Alaya, you're halfblood and I am too. No halfblood has ever made it here but we did, we'll work this place out to a better place but that's not when the whole pack is having issues with thier leader. You can't be a leader who's not always available, you still need training and close watch but the elders, you're still a teen who just became an adult. You can't be a leader who's not here, who is not listening, there would be no difference between Rory and you"

"Dolphus......." I said very weakly. Everything he said got to me. He actually stated a fact, if I was unavailable and wasn't listening to my people, what kind of an alpha was I. I wanted the best for everyone. Many werewolves didn't really make it past high school, it was my dream to get to college and beyond but this was the hardest time of my life.

Dolphus continued "Please Alaya, do this for you, for me and for the good of the pack"

Tears Welles down my eyes, I noticed he was still on his knees and I creud even more. I held him up and hugged him.

A question popped into my mind which made me cry the more "Should I or Should I not?"
