Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

Everyone was waiting at the training ground for Channing to come and dictate the instructions. This way of selection for the new Beta was way better and had everyone on their high horses right now.

But more than all of them, I was eager for this opportunity. I wanted to gain everyone's trust as soon as possible, which would require me to gain their individual favours. And becoming the Beta gave me that leverage faster.

"Hello everyone, thank you for your patience!" Said Channing in a loud voice so everybody could stop their chattering and focus on him. I was about to go and join the members when Channing stopped me gesturing with his hand.

"I apologise for my behaviour earlier, let's all forget about it" His tone was very casual for mentioning something so embarrassing. Then it turned commanding, totally reducing the intensity of the lunatic show he had put up a while back, "before we start, I want you to meet our new member Selene. Go ahead introduce yourself"

It was a bit uncalled for but nothing to make me nervous "Umm, hello guys my name is Selene and a lot of you already met me, I'm 24 years old and I guess that's it about me. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all."

Channing patted my back and gestured to me to go and sit down, "I'll go next! Hello Selene, I am Channing Warchild - the Alpha of Winterwells. My abilities include a will-full increase of strength during battle and well everything else an Alpha should have! I'll turn 25 in the coming few days, and I like a lot of gifts so make sure you bring me something good on my birthday!"

Everyone laughed at his comment and Sam got up next, he was dark in colour with zero cut hairstyle. "Hey Selene, You already know me, Sam Peterson - my abilities include management, for what I know, and this..", he pointed at the young boy I saw earlier, "This is my brother Elijah Peterson. He will be joining as a rookie next year"

Elijah bowed down nervously towards me as a hello and immediately averted his eyes away, he was a carbon copy of his brother Sam.

Suzan was next, she had dyed heavy maroon highlights but was a natural brunette and quite fair, "Selene! We already had so much fun together and I can't wait to spend more time with you. Ohh, oh I am your one and only Suzan! - also I am the fastest in our pack."

I was smiling as everyone introduced themselves, trying to remember as much as this overwhelming ass I can in a go.

Arina got up next, a natural red-head, "I'm Arina and I specialise in history and carrying the luggage, welcome to the pack Selene"

One by one everyone introduced themselves and my mind was in blunder, there were only 27 people but there was no way I could do it in one go. I was just trying to focus on people who were a bit different from the rest. After all, abilities surrounding your five senses were common but the ones that played your sixth sense were something to remember.

As a princess, this was one of the things my father taught me young - always know the potentially strong people and always befriend the other half of the crowd. The latter didn't require any maintenance but the former was better to have on your side than face them.

Two blonde twins got up next, both guys and they gave a synchronised introduction, "Hey, I'm Donnie...and I am Connie! We are masters of the mind, the mentalists of the pack. Our abilities can also allow us to erase memories for a given period of time!"

That was a splendidly worthy ability, them being twins made it easier to use or lay traps.

A girl with a boy cut came up next, she had a rather tomboyish appearance and talked almost nonchalantly, "Hey I'm Rita, my ability is extreme combat strength and flexibility in both human and werewolf form!"

"Hello, I am George blue", a neatly dressed and well-groomed guy said, pushing his glass back up to their original position, "my abilities lets me have the foresight of any oncoming curses on the battlefield. For us or the enemies."

A pale-looking girl stood up next, her hair colour was oddly green freckles covering her pretty little face, "Hie I'm Elaine" she said in a very soothing voice, "I have special healing abilities but I lack in combat so please take care of me, I hope to get along with you Selene"

Woah! My head was already spinning. I was focusing on only specific people yet the name, the face, and the abilities to all match up in my brain were getting a little complex.

But these few people had some pretty useful abilities. Rest had some decent abilities as well but not much use with extreme battles and politics.

The last member, a lady in her late 30s came up. She had an exceptionally beautiful figure. Honestly, everything about her was so mesmerising that even I would get a crush on her. "Hello Selene, I'm Tibeta Witchblood - I'm a very powerful psychic. And over the last 20 years, there hasn't been a single man or a woman who wasn't enchanted by my beauty!"

I stared at her in awe, anyone would want to be as beautiful as her. 'But beauty comes with a price!' was all that her eyes said. Truly though anyone could be enchanted by her presence.

"Okay!" Exclaiming Channing now that the introductions were done, "remembering everyone in one go would be tough but don't worry Selene, as you mix with the pack more it will be a smooth sail!"

I looked at everyone behind me as I was sitting in the front, almost all of them smiled at me and I returned a warm smile to them.

Suzan was excited for no reason and she hugged me, "welcome to the pack officially Selene!"

"Thanks", I said, suffocating under her hug. This girl was really going to kill me one day with all her love.

"OKAY PACK!" Shouted Channing and everyone's attention was back at him.

"Now the real reason why we all are here - The selection of the new Beta! Anyone who doesn't wish to participate can head home now", as Channing said those words without waiting for me to mix with the group.

A few of the members got up and took their leave, I turned around to check the remaining ones. Only 16 were left including me!

"Very well we have 16 in the running, if at any point you wish to drop out you can! I don't want people who don't want to be the Beta competing just for the sake of competition", Said Channing in a stern voice.

This was it, of course, I wanted to be in the running. Being new here I was at a great disadvantage by not knowing the Beta's duties, but when it came to my mission of ending the war! I didn't see any better opportunity than this. As the Beta of Winterwells pack.
