The Alpha I Chose to Become
400 Views · Ongoing · Fuzzy Melissa
Seven minutes before the beast-mark registration system closed, I received a video message.
The sender was me.
Only she looked fifteen years older.
"Talia, Kellan secretly changed your training academy application to Ironfang Camp. He and Briar have been together for a long time. He only did it because she didn't want you hanging around him anymore."
My future self looked straight into the camera, her eyes filled with regret.
"Later, no matter how hard you trained or how well you performed, you never got the chance to become an Alpha. You even made it all the way through advanced training, but you still couldn't get into the position you'd dreamed of."
She paused, her voice breaking slightly.
"But you could have made it. You were meant to stand at Dawnspire."
The video ended.
I sat frozen on the couch, gripping my phone so tightly my fingers hurt.
For a few seconds, I couldn't even breathe.
Then I jumped up and ran back to my bedroom.
My hands were shaking as I opened the beast-mark registration portal.
My first-choice academy had indeed been changed.
Ironfang Camp. A Gamma training camp.
I stared at the words, feeling a chill spread through my body.
Ironfang was where young Gammas were sent for frontline combat training. The conditions were brutal, the assignments dangerous, and casualties were common.
In Graythorn Settlement, everyone knew what it meant to end up there.
It was where you went when you had no better choice.
And someone had deliberately sent me there.
I closed my eyes, forcing myself to calm down.
Then I placed my palm against the registration stone and activated my wolf mark.
With one minute left, I changed my application.
First Choice: Dawnspire Academy.
