Chereads / The Stray and the Alpha / Chapter 2 - The letter

Chapter 2 - The letter

My bestie looked at me and moved my hair out of my face and sighed, she stood up and grabbed something from her purse. She handed it to me and told me to look at it, I took it from her and froze. It was a letter, it was addressed to me. I looked up at her and she looked as if she was hiding something.

"Who's this from!?" I asked

"I don't know...it.....was in your mailbox" She said this as if she was trying to chose her words carefully

I frowned me and her never kept secrets, or so I thought. She stood up and grabbed her things, she went to reach for the door handle to leave but she paused. She turned to look at me and opened her mouth to speak but stopped, she looked like she was trying to think of the right way to say something without telling me what she knew.

"Let me know when you read the letter.....I have a feeling it will be something good...I think it'll change your life forever..." She said treading carefully with her words

Before I could react she opened the door and left, I sighed and looked at the door. After a while I heard her car start up and drive away, I got up and locked the door and walked to my room with the letter. I shook my head and set the letter on my night stand, I wanted nothing to do with whatever it was. I lied down and closed my eyes drifting into a deep sleep, I woke up to a scream. I jumped out of bed and ran to see what it was, when I got to the kitchen I saw Summer crying on the floor, I ran to her.

"Whats wrong?! What happened?!" I asked franticly

"I-I-I saw s-something in th-the window as I-I was getting w-water.." She said crying

"what do you mean you saw something? What did it look like?" I asked trying to figure everything out

"It looked like a person, like a human not a wolf...." She said knowing I wasn't going to believe her

"Summer, humans don't live here.....there hasn't been a human sighting in years" I explained

She looked down and I put her hair behind her ears and hugged her, I felt like something was watching me so I looked at the window only to see that there was nothing there. I got up and went to my room with Summer following close behind, I grabbed the letter and started reading it.

"Dear Nymeria,

My name is Scout, I am writing this letter to inform you about your rank in the wolf world. Now I know this sounds very confusing to you so if you have any questions feel free to contact me through my number on the paper attached. We all know you've been a stray for as long as you can remember and only have vague memories of your parents. But we have found evidence from the night of the crash that has led us to believe your not the rank we thought you were. Your not an omega, your mother and father have were both alphas. Your siblings supposedly died in the crash. We are currently searching for them, but if your reading this letter we need you to contact us as soon as possible. I will share more information in person, I can only pray you get this letter...

Sincerely, Scout"

I was shocked, I was an.....alpha!? No that can't be right, I couldn't believe what I just read. I grabbed the piece of paper attached to the letter and texted the number on it. After a few minutes I got a call from the same number.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hi is this Nymeria?"

"Yes thats me.."

"If its not to big of a deal can you please meet me at the park by the old high school?"

"S-sure um"

"yes?"

"One who is this? Two can I bring a stray pup with me?"

"Oh right sorry I'm Scout and I mean I guess"

"Ok thanks"

"Meet me there in half an hour"

"Yes sir"

And with that he hung up and I rushed to get ready, after a while we arrived at the park. I saw a tall, fit boy with blue hair standing by the old high school. As soon as he saw me he ran up to me and hugged me, I froze and tensed up.

"Thank the lord it's really you!" he said

He let me go and rubbed his neck, "Sorry Nymie"

I looked at him confused "Only Lexi calls me that"

"Ah right, Lexi!" he yelled

Lexi dropped down from the tree she was hiding in and stood next to the boy.

"Lexi?"

"Hey Nymie"

"Whats going on?" I asked in fear

"relax" the boy said

"Who are you and how do you know Lexi?!"

"I'm Scout and she is my girlfriend" he said making me freeze

"hey calm down," she started

"Nymie, can you look at me?"

I looked at him confused and then at Lexi, they sighed and Scout looked at Lexi.

"Thank you for taking care of her for me" He said to her

I was so confused, he looked at me and gave me a toothy smile and did a pose. My head was spinning and I felt like my whole world was spinning, I fell foreward into him and he caught me.

"Oh my god Nymie!" he yelled

I passed out, I woke up and jumped up looking for Summer.

"Summer!?" I yelled in panic

"Hey, hey, chill she's fine" Scout told me and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Just then Summer ran into the room and jumped into my arms making me giggle, I held her and she smiled. I played with her hair and looked at Scout, he frowned and sighed.

"How do you know me?" I asked
