Chapter One:
Sophia's POV
Dominance…that word means so much. Who's dominant and who is submissive, who's a leader, who is a follower. It determines predator and prey, and it is the one of the most important words in the pack. They try to fool everyone, but they are just animals in human clothing. Their instincts are different, their laws are different, and THEY are different, "Other". You are probably wondering why I should care about their ways and their life, well it might be because I'm almost one of them, you see blood never lies, and while I am 100 human on my mothers side, my father's side is a little different. And as much as my father likes to pretend that he is normal, it's just not happening. His blood is changing me and whether I like it or not, I'm becoming one of them.
But I'm getting off topic, I was talking about dominance. If my father was a normal skin walker, I wouldn't be so terrified that I am going to become a "creature". But my father is not nor has ever been normal. When he was younger, he was a contender for Alpha; apparently he was one bad ass in his youth…go figure. That is till he met my mom, and fell head over heels in love with her, which wouldn't normally be a problem, except she was human and he was not. For love he locked away a vital part of himself, and to all outward appearances he did not regret it. He has not flipped in 16 years and clamps down on his "otherness".
So my father is one of the reasons that word means so much, by myself I'm nothing, a half breed, zoo bait. But so many people still respect and fear my father, that I was relatively left alone, oh they watch me like a hawk to see if the little half breed will change and they make insulting comments, but all in all I was not very noticeable. Till he came along.
Luke Cates…that man is both my heaven and my hell. He seduces, entices, and lures me in until I don't know whether I'm coming or going, he picks at all my reservations and beliefs, makes me want things that I would never dream of wanting. And it's because of him that I'm suddenly in the game of dominance. Luke is alpha's son, he has complete control over the younger pack members, everyone knows he destined to be alpha of the pack some day, he only need to get some more experience, to get bigger and stronger, which all comes with age. And he turned their attention to me, whether he wants me for the high of my first flip or for something else, he noticed me and in turn they noticed me.
I have to say, Luke is sinfully delicious, he is, to put it bluntly, walking sex. And every time I see him I melt, I know it, and he knows it. My father thinks I like Luke because he is cute and he offers me a glimpse of a life I have only heard about, and he is partially right. Believe this or not, not to long ago Luke only garnered a few shy blushing glances and only appeared vaguely in my mind, but that all changed when a part of me I wish wasn't there woke up. My father would be shocked and appalled about the real reason that Luke fascinates me. It's not his beautiful green eyes, his wicked smirk, or his drool worthy body. It's the flash of gold in those eyes, it's the feral quality of that smile, and it's the rippling of muscles that no human should have that gets me. I look at Luke and I can feel my wolf rising, and she is not weak. She wants him and through her I want him. Because apparently my wolf has not heard the news that I am weak, she believes she is strong, she is dominant, and she wants a mate that is worthy of her, and the scary part is….so do I.
When he looks at me, I want to bare my neck to him in submission. He makes me burn, I want him to tear of my clothes and take me right where we are standing, show others that he is the only one who can make me submit, and through him make the others submit to me. Obviously my wolf is very ambitious.
But I have not held off my wolf this long by pure chance, the chains which hold her are mine and they are very strong. I am not ready for her to come out, so I try to stomp down my instincts and ignore Luke, and try to act normal. But Luke is not letting me, and every moment that I spend with him is weakening my resolve and strengthens hers. So in a desperate move to stay normal, I accept a date from a human, his name is Scott and he is the complete opposite of Luke. And while I talk and flirt with him, I try to drown out the growling and snarling of my hated other half.
Oh but the look on Luke's face when he found out I was going on a date with Scott. I could see his beast flashing in his eyes, and my wolf and I both shuddered with fear, and purred with pleasure, till he had to open his mouth and ruin the moment by practically ordering me not to go. That just annoyed the hell out of me, and even my wolf was feeling less then pleased with him. Because as much as she likes him masterful and commanding, she still remembers him getting groiny with Presley, and for him to have the nerve to dictate what I can do, well that just was not happening. You should have seen the look on his face when I told him that he was not the boss of me and I was not afraid of him. It was pure male rage, and it excited the hell out of me, so I did the only thing I could in the circumstances…I stormed off.
So there you have it ladies and gentleman, my life. Sucks doesn't it? I wish I could tell you how this turns out, do I win the game of dominance, and do I give into my wolf and therefore give into Luke. I don't know, but I do know this, it's going to be a hell of a ride.
But enough depressing shit, I have a date to go on after all, and a man like Lucas Cates to forget. So much to do, so little time….and what am I going to wear?
