Conquest of the Alpha Page 2

“Miss Drummond… Miss Drummond…am I disturbing your daydreams, or would you like to inject your own thoughts into what I had to say?” She didn’t think she was listening, but then every word that he said came crashing into her skull. “I see and I guess you weren’t…”

  She cut him off in mid sentence, and then she stood up straight and tall for everybody to see. “Actually, I don’t exactly agree with what you just said. If you believe in evolution, you have to believe that there are things in this world that cannot be explained by just science along. After all, how can you explain miracles, or the ability of a young mother to lift a car off her newborn baby? Everything around us is subject to interpretation, and sometimes I think that we get lost in what we think to be true, when we should be exploring the unknown with wide open eyes.”

  “I’m not sure if I agree with you, Miss Drummond, but you have definitely raised a few interesting points. In fact, I would like the whole class to write a 10,000 word essay describing something in your life that you don’t think science could have anything to do with. Think of this as 25% of your grade, and I really want you to think about what you are going to write before you do it.” Professor Carver had never singled Julia out before, nor did he ever call her by her first name, although she had seen him do the exact opposite with other members of his class. Maybe he didn’t think she was worthy of his time and respect, but it appeared that was turning around in her favor.

  Julia stood up with the entire class praising her for the insight, but no doubt thankful that 25% of their grade would be doing something out of the watchful eye of Professor Carver. He had never given assignments outside of class, and Julia thought that he enjoyed that fact that she was questioning his opinion, and wanted to see if others could do the same thing.

  It was getting close to lunch, and Julia could feel that her stomach was grumbling, and there was this intense need for something a little bit more filling than just the sloppy Joes in the kitchen. What she needed was something with a little bit more protein, something bloody and still dripping in its own juices, which made her walk into a trance, until she was finally standing at the fridge inside the cafeteria. What she saw was a steak still in its packaging and the nourishing piece of meat was calling to her. She couldn’t help herself, as she ripped into the package and tore her fingers into the raw meat like a wild animal out of control.

  Putting it up to her mouth, Julia knew that it was wrong, but tasting it with the tip of her tongue only made it seem like it was the right thing to do. She tore into it with her teeth, letting the meat linger on top of her tongue, before swallowing it whole, and then going after another bite. It was like something had taken over her appetite, and she ate the entire steak, until she was licking her fingers clean. She suddenly felt sick to her stomach.

  She looked down at what she had done, totally grossed out by the fact that she had just eaten a raw steak, and going over to the sink and trying her best to heave it back out. It wouldn’t budge, not even if she put her finger down her throat, so she was going to have to accept the fact of what she had just done.

  She walked some and suddenly found herself on the track court, feeling in a daze and not quite believing that she had done such a thing in the kitchen. If somebody had seen her, they would think that she was some kind of monster that needed to be put down. That was not what she was, at least not in her own mind anyway, even though there was this gnawing need inside of her body to go back and have another steak.

  That first trickle of juices was almost better than sex, not that she had that to compare it to. Her sexual exploits were tame in comparison and her last really good orgasm was watching porn and at her own hand. Then was the night that she saw her roommate going at it with her boyfriend and they either didn’t care that she was watching or they didn’t know. After they left giggling that was when she had to give herself some relief, and found her trusty purple vibrator to do the job. To take it to the finish line, she had turned her computer to a three-way between two guys and a girl and that was all that it took to make her lose herself to the moment.

  Feeling somebody hit her on the ass, she turned to see the blur of a man in a track suit moving away from her with a slimy leer staring in her direction. This ignited an anger that seethed down to the pit of her stomach, making her want to catch that man and make him pay for being crass and treating her like she was just another piece of meat.

  Her legs began to pump, and she was soon gaining on him, even though he was already quite a distance in front of her. He looked back and seemed to be mildly amused, thinking that if he put on a little bit extra speed that he would be able to lose her. Unfortunately, as he rounded the next bend, he casually looked back to laugh at her expense, only to see that she was still gaining and was now only a few strides away from catching him.

  The coach was watching with a cigar in his mouth, and now it was hanging there, as his eyes took in the spectacle that was now playing out. He thought it was pretty funny that his star athlete, Brock, had slapped that young lady on the ass, but had now seen that it had lit a flame underneath her. Her intense eyes were something that he could never get out of his head, and he watched with bated breath as she moved like a jaguar across the field. His star athlete tried to get away, but her determination and need to catch him was more than he could outrun.

  The coach thought that he had seen everything, but seeing this young woman stalking and getting closer with each long stride was something that made his heart leap from his chest. His pulse was racing and he was now seeing the answer to his prayers on Saturday afternoon. That young woman had the stamina of a gazelle or maybe a cheetah…what if was she was the golden goose that would lead his team to the championship? He needed to find out who she was and convince her for the good of the school to join the track team. This woman was an offering by the track field gods and was a once in a lifetime find. With her speed, he just couldn’t understand why that she didn’t try out at the first of the year. Maybe she was shy, or she didn’t know that she was that fast, it didn’t matter and he would have to have her.

  A woman like that had to be honed as a weapon and he didn’t want any other college getting their hooks into her. Once they found out about her, she would become a sought after star in the making. This could lead all the way to the world or maybe even the Olympics…the possibilities were endless.

  The cigar dropped from his mouth, landing at his feet still lit, as she leaped into the air and landed on Brock’s back. “Get off me…you crazy bitch…I was just having a little fun.” Her grip was amazing and it felt like she was a deranged animal after its prey. Brock could feel her on his back and it was like he was carrying around a backpack that weighed a ton. He stumbled forward and was unable to stay on his feet for longer that a couple of more feet. His breath was short and she was squeezing him with her legs, almost like a snake does before the big kill.

  Brock fell face forward into the trail, with her on his back, before she leaned down and licked the back of his neck. It was the strangest thing, the coach had seen and had he known any better, he might think that she was preparing his star athlete for dinner. At the last second, her head snapped back, and she was now sniffing the air like a dog, before getting off of Brock and running in the opposite direction.

  There was a scent in the air, something that was very distinguishable, and then she saw a young man in a crowd of college students protesting the use of fur.

  Looking past the crowd, she zoomed in on a young man with black hair, with matching goatee, and made this instant connection with their eyes that made her push through the crowd to get to him.

  He was no longer there, and Julia could see that he had now moved over to the side of the building, before going around and out of sight. She saw his head through the crowd, and followed until they were alone. “I need to talk to you.”

  “I couldn’t have said it better myself.” He hadn’t gone far, waiting patiently for her to find him standing by one of the picnic tables out front. Thi
s was going to be first contact, and he was going to have to put his best foot forward to make a good impression.

  “Chance…give the poor girl time to adjust to her new reality.” Out of nowhere came this other man, long blond hair, clean shaven, over 6 feet tall and had the body of a linebacker. He was wearing the school jacket with a pair of blue jeans that hugged his package tightly “You really didn’t think that I was going to let you talk to her before I did. I mean really, did you really think that I didn’t sense what you did, and now you have the gall to approach her like nothing ever happened.”

  “Tanner…this was your doing, because none of my people had anything to do with it. That only leaves you as the culprit, and to think that we had this uneasy peace for the last few years. It was agreed upon that nobody would go after another one, at least until everybody had a chance to vote. You went against The Codicil which was put into place for this very reason, and you think you have any right to lecture me about what is right or wrong. What you should be is down on your hands and knees begging her for her forgiveness, and hope to god that she won’t take this personally. The smell of what you did surrounds this damn town like a shroud of death, and I for one will not stand for this kind of blatant abuse of power.”

  “I think you might be protesting a little bit too much, Chance, because we both know that it wasn’t me or my clan.” They were looking at each other, and each one wanted to take a piece out of the other, but were holding back because they were in a public place and they didn’t want to alert others to what they were. “I think that we should allow the lady to choose for herself, and wouldn’t you agree that would be the more sensible route to go?” he was using the treaty against him, making sure to throw back in his face everything that was written down during that momentous day in the woods.

  “Only you, Tanner, would bring that up, and I guess it goes without saying that you probably memorized the entire thing. I think that’s the only reason why Casper took you into the fold, because you had this eidetic memory that you can call upon whenever you want.” Julia was confused, watching these two young men go after each other with verbal barbs, and not understanding anything that they were saying.

  Putting her hands on both of their chests, she looked back from each one, seeing them as potential paramours with the same feeling that she felt for one coming forth to feel the same thing for the other. “Boys…I have to say that I’m flattered, and for both of you to be fighting over little old me is a little bit more than I can take. I think it’s only fair that both of you get a chance to say what’s on your mind.” Julia thought for sure that they had sensed her new self and was now drawn to her like a moth to a flame. Maybe this was another one of the side effects that she had yet to enjoy.

  “It’s not gonna happen, and neither one of us is going to be able to let the other speak. I don’t see any way around that, unless of course, Chance wants to go a few rounds and see who comes out on top. We both know that I can take you, or have you forgotten about Halloween night?”

  “I haven’t forgotten anything, and we both know that you cheated to win. How coincidental was it that I had snared myself in a bear trap, when you were the one that was eating my dust the entire time. I think that you purposely set that up, and even though I don’t have any proof, I can see in your face that it’s true. You couldn’t win fairly, so you did the next best thing and made sure that I would lose. Don’t think for a second that your little tricks are going to garner you any favors with the lady in question. I have this feeling that she is going to have a good bullshit detector, and I can imagine that it’s going haywire right now inside her head.”

  “We are never going to get to the bottom of this, unless we can decide on who goes first.” Tanner was at his wits end, and had he got here a little bit sooner, he might’ve been able to sway the young lady to his side of the fence.

  “Look, it’s clear to me that both of you have something to say, so I think it’s going to be up to me decide which one is going to go first. Being fair, we will play rock paper scissors, and whoever wins will be able to say what’s on their mind.

  “That’s a child’s game, but yet I don’t see any other way to get past the stalemate. Fine…if Tanner is in agreement, and I don’t see any reason not to just get this over with.” Tanner wasn’t happy about this at all, but it look like he was outnumbered by 2 to 1. Nodding his agreement, they began the foolish game, finding that they were well matched and continually found themselves putting up the same thing. Two rocks, Two papers, two scissors. It was just a matter of time before one of them was going to come up on top, and it finally turned out to be Chance who had made the decision to change his mind at the last second. Instead of putting up scissors, he had changed it up to rock, essentially crushing Tanner;s chance at winning.

  “No…it’s not fair... I won’t stand for this.”

  “Seems like Tanner is a sore loser, and I think that you should take that into account.” Chance was directing his comment to Julia, who was now motioning for both of them to sit down at the bench.” Introductions were made, and Julia found the names of Chance and Tanner to be a little unusual, but it kind of fitted who they were. They were both different, yet there was something familiar about them that she just couldn’t put her finger on. It was agreed upon that both of them would be there, even though Julia still had no earthly idea of what they were talking about.

  “So, go ahead, what are you waiting for an engraved invitation? Maybe you are second guessing about going first, because this isn’t how we normally do things.”

  “Julia, I don’t know how to say this, but maybe I don’t have to.” Chance took her hand, held it tightly and looked into her eyes, only to find that the exchange of thoughts were blocked by some unknown force. “I have never experienced anything like that before, and I didn’t even know it was possible for that to happen.” Tanner took it upon himself, taking her hand away from Chance, looking into Julia’s eyes and thinking that he was going to have better luck. Unfortunately, he had to look away, as he had felt the same thing that chance had and so much more.

  “That’s a first for me too, and I sense that this young lady is a little bit different than we suspect.” Tanner still couldn’t bring himself to look her in the eye, and he was still feeling the cold shiver run down his spine.

  “Okay, so it looks like we’re going to have to do this the hard way. Julia, you must have felt that you were different, and I’m sure that there was something that happened not so long ago. Might it be that you were attacked, and left for dead, only to come out of it with these new senses that took you by surprise?” Julia looked to both of them, not believing for one second that they could have any real knowledge of what she was going through. “You feel like you are stronger, faster, and you have this deep need to run into the woods. We have both gone through the same thing, or how would we know that that was what you were feeling? This is going to be the hardest part to understand, and I wish that we had longer to beat around the bush, but I’m afraid that time is of the essence.

  Tanner spoke “I’m leaving…but I want you to really consider coming over to my side, Julia. Don’t worry, I won’t be far away, and I will know when you’re ready to make your decision. This is something that you’re going to have to decide for yourself, but I can tell you that I am the one that has the ability to show you what you are and what you can be. This is just a small step in your development, and hopefully you will do the right thing. Either way, I’m glad that we could meet, although I regret the fact that I didn’t meet you first.” Tanner walked away, not wanting to, but feeling a little out of sorts by what he felt looking into her eyes.

  “I thought that he would never leave, and maybe now we can have a frank discussion,” said Chance. You had to know that this new power had to come with a harsh reality, because I really don’t take you as naïve or stupid. You are a Lycanthrope, and I’m not sure if you fully understand what that means. Tonight is a full Moon, and you will no doubt have y
our first change. You will need somebody to guide you, and I am taking it upon myself to train you in our ways. The first thing I need to know is if you know who did this to you.” Chance could see that she was shocked, dismayed, or maybe she just didn’t believe a single word that he said.

  “I don’t know what to say, but I think you have had too many drinks this morning. Either that, or you were hit in the head too many times. I don’t know which one it is, and I really have no desire to find out. What you’re saying is crazy, and what I’m going through is because of some kind of drug that the hospital gave me. I’m sure that it will wear off in time, and then I will be going back to who I once was.

  There was something about the term Lycanthrope that gave her a moment of pause. “I don’t think I have imparted on you the seriousness of this, and all I can tell you is that Tanner and his Clan are going to have to answer for this. In the meantime, you’re just going to have to accept what you are, because there is no going back.” He hadn’t said the one word that would seal the deal, and he was reluctant to make her see him as nothing but a crackpot. “I would really like to get to know you better, and maybe after classes you can come over to my place and have a cup of coffee. I might be better prepared at that time, and I’m thinking that I’m going to need some kind of visual aids to show you the full scope of what you are going through.” They agreed to meet after classes, going their separate ways with Julia having more questions and answers.

  All she really wanted to know was what they were fighting over, and maybe find some kind of peace of mind about these newfound powers. Chance was what she would call a tall dark handsome man, and she kind of felt like she knew him and Tanner better than she knew herself.

  Over the next couple of hours, she just couldn’t get them off of her mind, and she really wanted to rip their clothes off. She could envision herself using her teeth to tear into the fabric, while straddling one of their waists, grabbing onto their hard cock and using it for her own pleasure.
