III | Chapter 02

I am at our living room, waiting patiently for my dad to come. He said that I should wait here for him because he had to discuss something. So, I waited patiently.

I look down on my hands while fidgeting my index fingers. The adrenaline inside me pumps which made me excited to know the news and at the same time, I'm scared of what it is.

After waiting for 3 more minutes, dad showed up and I lit up instantly. I move a bit towards the edge of our sofa and keep smiling at my dad when I saw him enter the room.

Dad sits down on the opposite side of the sofa looking at me. He rested his elbows down on his knees and seriously locks his optics on mine, "so, dad... What do you want to say?"

He takes a breath in before he talks. Standing up, he called me, "Sierra..." He started walking slowly around the sofa with his hands on his pockets, "You know that you will be the next alpha in the throne, right?" He stop walking and then looked at me, waiting patiently for an answer.

"Y-yes, dad. I know," stammering, I honestly answer the question.

His lips twitch a bit, "since you are aware of that, we forbid that woman becomes an Alpha." He declared, and started walking to a nearby window, "but since you are an only child, my only child... You have to undergo training."

Hearing all of this makes my head hurts. I am not that old yet to perform tasks, "but dad, I am—" I protests but he cuts me off, "You will be the next alpha of the white lotus pack, Sierra. We can't waste time. We will never know when I'll be dead and what would happen to the pack without someone to lead them." He turns around, looking at me intently.

I didn't utter a word and just stare at him. Am I really eligible to be the next alpha? Am I really the right one for this? What if I fail? What if I can't do it?

Lots of what if's and doubts on myself are running through my mind that I didn't notice dad was already in front of me, knocking me back to reality.

"Earth to Sierra. Are you there?" He knocks litely on my forehead causing for me to get back to reality.

Dad stand straight, never leaving his gaze upon me, "do we have a deal, Sierra?" His voice scream for authority. I couldn't fail and disappoint my father.

Looking back at him, I held my chin up high and confidence flows through my nerves, "Yes, dad. Deal."

His lips turned into a smile, then he pulled me into a hug, " Thank you for understanding, my little angel." I hugged my dad back, assuring him that I'll be fine. Hopefully.

Mom then got inside the living room. Seeing the commotion, she already knew what this is all about, "Frederick, honey... Are you sure she is ready for the responsibility?" Mom's voice lace with so much worry in it, "she is still young. Aren't you putting to much pressure on her shoulder?"

"I believe in her, Quora. She'll do just fine. Ozia will take good care of her, my love." Dad suddenly pulled himself and walks towards mom, kissing her cheek.

I giggled happily. It is such nice to see my mom and dad are so much in love. I get down of the sofa and run towards them, "I love you, mama and papa." I tried group hugging them but failed to do so. I just hugged their legs and look up to them.

They chuckled and mom picked me up, "we love you too, sweetheart." They pulled me into a hug, then curiosity got the better of me.

"Dad?" I then took a glimpse of dad, "yes, princess?" He caress my hair and payed attention on what I have to say.

"Who's Ozia?" Dad and mom shared a look, then shared a smile. Mom finally puts me down. Curiosity eats my nerves more as I look at them both, "what? What is it, dad? Who is Ozia?"

Dad looked at me and lowered himself to just my level, "oh sweetie... You are going to love him." He chuckled. He holds my right hand, and started walking with mom.

Upon hearing this, I became excited to meet 'him'. I wonder who Ozia is and what he is look like. I never met him before.

I should tell him that he should be my little partner in crime and play a lot.

Dad, mom, and I walk pass our people. They bow their heads down to show respect as soon as we pass to them. I keep waiving my hand to children, just like me.

I giggle everytime I see my friends waiving back, and then focus on my way where my parents were going. My mom and dad stop their tracks and I didn't notice it much and step a little more forward.

One of the Zeta, a highest warrior rank or the general, lowered his head for respect. Himself scream for power, but not as much as my father has. He has a muscular body, a messy hair that suits him well, and his eyes were dark brown that might captivate a lot of people.

In return, I bow my crania and smile, "Alpha, Luna, it's an honor to be in your presence again. What is it that I can do for you?" He politely insisted as he look at my father.

"Brew, can you show my daughter around the training ground?" He smiled looking at I assume was Brew since dad called him by name, "of course! But if it's not much trouble, why did you bring the princess in the training grounds?" Brew looked at dad with astonishing smile.

Dad maintain his composure and answered, "she needs to be trained. I expect it by today, she will start with Ozia." Brew open his mouth with an 'O' expression, "I see, Alpha. Alright then, come with me, Sierra." He extended his hand to reach for me, patiently.

I hesitated at first and then dad and mom assured that nothing bad is going to happen. Trusting my parents, I extend my hand to his.

"I'm trusting my daughter to you, Brew. If she gets hurt badly, I'll rip everything you have inside your system." Dad put his arm around my mom's waist and finally turns around to get back on their business. Looking at Brew, I giggle seeing him became nervous at the moment.

I tugged at his hand to get his attention, "Sir Brew?" I fix my gaze upon him and then he look down at me with worry and at the same time, excitement.

"I'm afraid that your father might bite my head off, Sierra," we chuckled in union and turns around himself, guiding me inside the training grounds.

"First things first. I should introduce you to Ozia, he is also a child like you but more determined to be a warrior. At such a young age, he entered the training grounds to train himself. Now, he is already among the best of the best. He is more advance though but I bet you two will get along." He explains and introduce a bit so that I may know who this Ozia is.

I nodded and look at where I am walking with him, "Ozia is also the child of our beloved betas, Rain and Andrew Alexandersson."

"I didn't knew that they have a child," I suddenly blurted out of the blue which makes him a bit shock about knowing it.

He was about to say something when we both hear countings, "One! Two! Three! Smash! Upper cut!" We both stop on our tracks and looks at where the voice is coming from.

Brew's lip twitch a bit and nodded, looking at the not so small figure like me, "Sierra, I would like you to meet Ozia."
