Chapter 1 Christina " Are you about ready to head out ? " Dane , my older brother and Alpha asks me as I drop my last bag by the door . " Yep , you're rid of me for three months , bro , " I say smiling at him . " Don't say that , Chrissy . You and I both know that I would have found a position for you in the pack , " he says . My brother is perfect , a perfect Alpha , a perfect mate , a perfect father , and a perfect brother . Me ? I'm less than perfect .

" You and I also both know that I didn't want you supporting me my entire life , Dane . Our parents passed away many years ago , and Dane , being the man , Alpha , and brother that he is , has made sure that I've never wanted for anything . The only problem is , I'm an Alpha as well . I want to make my own way , not feel like I'm being given a handout by my brother , the pack's Alpha . " It's not like that , Christina . I could use a good fighter like you .

I hope you know there's always a place for you in this pack if you ever decide to give up the Train . But do me a favor this time ? " 1331 " What's that ? " " Take some classes , Chrissy . You could kick those Alphas ' asses , and I know you'd enjoy that . You're a strong Alpha female . You don't give yourself enough credit . " I look at the necklace of dog tags around his neck , or wolf tags as he calls them . Where mine are silver , his are gold .

A gold tag for every achievement he received during his time at the Alpha Academy . I have the ability to earn them as well , if I attend the classes and I'm either the best , or the first to achieve the goal . The silver tags that I wear around my neck are for the assistants . We earn them for different reasons , but we can earn them each semester . I have a drawer full of duplicates , but I only wear one for each achievement . I've achieved all the possible silver tags .

Each assistant also has their own color tag that they can hand out to the Alphas in class or even the instructors if we feel that they have done something deserving of recognition . While the gold tags are worth five points , our tags are worth one . Earn enough points through your tags and you could earn a spot on the leaderboard at the Academy . My brother has been ranked number two on the leaderboard . for the last four years . Before that , he was ranked number one .

" Bye , Aunt Chrissy , " my nephew and the Alpha heir of this pack says , rushing out the front door of the packhouse . " Bye , Devin . Be good for your parents . Bye Harper , " I say to Dane's Chicher 1 male as she walks out with Olivia , my daughter on her hip . " Bye , Christina . It was good to see you , " she says . " Thanks bro . I'll see you in a few months . " I say , stepping forward to hug my brother . I don't know how he does it , but the man never misses . anything .

His mate adores him , he knows every little thing that happens in this pack , and when he talks to you , you feel like you're the only person in the world , and everything you say is of the utmost importance to him , that YOU are of the utmost importance to him . And I'm not just saying that because I'm his sister . He's like that with everyone . As I said , he's perfect .

" You know , I think I might have done you a disservice by not allowing any of my friends to date you , " he says , looking at the ' O ' tag around my neck . It's the orgasm tag . Since I don't sleep with the young Alphas at the Academy , I've never had a reason to give it out , and now , I sort of feel like I wear it as a badge of honor , or dishonor maybe . " None of them were my mate , Dane , you know that .

There is only one way that a non - fated relationship with an Alpha heir ends and thanks to you , I've never had to deal with that heartache . " He hugs me again and then he has a driver take me to the train stop . I work on the Train and therefore , at the Alpha Academy . Each semester , the Alphas who will be coming of age in the next quarter are sent to Alpha school . The train takes a week to go across the country collecting all the Alphas who are eligible to attend the school .

While we're on the train , me and the other assistants act as waitresses , cooks , Chapter 1 and clean - up crew . It's pretty much the same once we get to the school . The only thing we aren't responsible for are the Alphas quarters and their personal belongings . Alphas have to wash their own clothes and clean up after themselves . It's part of the education they receive at the Academy understanding some of the work that goes into being an omega .

- There must always be at least one more female assistant than Alpha in the class . The biggest reason for that is the sex class . I , personally , have never attended the class . While most of the returning women have , I've been assigned to mated males every semester that I've worked . They only last one semester because they miss their mates too much , being gone so long . Mated instructors are excluded from the sex class , knowing that they would only hurt their mates if they participated .

Because they were excluded and I was their assistant , it was easy for me to exclude myself as well . Every assistant is invited to attend , but I've chosen not to . Sylvie , one of the widowed Lunas who has been . working at the school for years , takes the class every semester . She's told me that I should try it , at least once . " It sucks in the beginning . These young Alphas always think they're the shit .

They're not , but by the end , it's like heaven on earth, every class , " she told me . She usually pairs off with Alpha James as his assistant , and from what I can tell , he usually teaches the sex class . There are other classes , such as strength training , sensory training , managing your pack , understanding when someone is in trouble and needs their Alpha to step in , things like that .

I've assisted as required when my Alpha was teaching , but I've never participated in any of the classes . Chapter 1 The other consistent instructor is Alpha Sebastian . He's been teaching classes for several years . The other instructors tend to rotate in and out , whether it's because they have a mate back home or they just don't enjoy teaching . However , Alpha James and Alpha Sebastian are constants at the Academy .

When Dane's driver arrives at the train station two hours later , I get out , grabbing my three bags which account for 99 % of my life . What a sad state that my life can be placed into three small carry - on bags . I thank the driver and hook the bags over my shoulder making my way to the train station . There are three stops for us and the instructors before the train begins making its way across the country . The Alpha Academy is a 10 - week , grueling schedule for the Alphas .

On either side of that , there is a week - long train ride , which means that I'm only home one week every quarter , or four weeks a year . It's why I chose this job . My brother can say all day long that he'd find a place for me , but I needed to find a place for myself and for now , this is it . I walk up , seeing a young girl with several bags standing at the station . looking lost . " Hey there . Are you here for the Alpha Train ? " I ask her as I walk up . Her big blue eyes go wide .

" Yes ! I wasn't sure I was in the right place . " " This is it . I'm Christina , " I say . 1334 1 Chapter 1 " Hi , I'm Haley . This is my first time , " she says , which I already knew . " Well , don't worry , it's pretty self - explanatory , but if you have any questions , there are several of us who have done this for a while . You can always ask us . " " Thank you so much .

I wasn't sure what to expect , but I'm thankful to already know someone who knows what they are doing , " she says , smiling a big , happy smile at me . " What made you decide to try the Alpha Train ? " I ask her . While most of the time is spent at the Academy , the slang term for the Academy has become the Alpha Train . You can't work one without working the other . Most of the Alphas coming to the school talk about ' Riding the Train ' , it's slang for going to Alpha school .

" Oh , well , it sounded exciting . I wanted to see what it was like for the Alphas , and why so many of them are just so good . I mean , do they really learn everything they need to know in 10 weeks ? " she asks . " They do . It's grueling for them . Long , hard days , but if they want their position , it has to be earned . " " What about you ? Why are you here ? " she asks . " Well , as you can tell , I'm a bit older than you are .

I never found my mate and I didn't want to be a burden on my family , so I decided to start working here . This way , I still get to see them , but I'm self- 72.16 sufficient . " She smiles her big smile again . " I'm saving money for college . I want to be a doctor , but my family could never afford that , so here I am . " " I think it'll take more than one semester for you to make that kind of money , " I tell her . " That's okay .

If I like it here , I don't mind working the job for a year or two . " An older man , obviously an Alpha walks up to us . " Good morning . ladies . Here for the Alpha Train ? " " Yes , Alpha , " we both say . " Well , then , I must be in the right spot . Do either of you know when the train will arrive ? " he asks . I look at my watch . " The trains always run on time , Alpha . It will be here in about ten minutes .

" " Hmm , not long enough to let my wolf out then , " he says , looking at the empty landscape around us . " Probably not , sir , " I tell him . Chapter 1 " Oh my goddess . I'm so rude . My name is Alpha William . You can call me Alpha Will . " I chuckle . " Hi , I'm Christina . " " And I'm Haley . This is my first semester , " she says . " Mine as well , " Alpha Will says . " How about you , Christina ? " " My eighth , " I say . " Ahh , a veteran . That's good .

I know who to go to if I have any questions , " he says . " That's what I said , " Haley says excitedly . " Do you know which stop we are ? " Alpha Will asks as the train whistles in the distance . " We're the first stop , Alpha . Two more and then we'll be off to get this semester's Alphas . " " Should be interesting , " he says as the train pulls up .
