Fighting for My Alpha Boss

A Few Years Ago

Marceline Silver

We were settling into what was to be our new home for the next few years. That’s what my parents, Edward and Camille Silver, did every few years.

I was dragging my suitcase up the stairs, not having inherited my family's vampire instincts.

There is no superpower.

There is no super speed.

No craving for blood

There is no effect on the blood moon.

It's fair to say that I wasn't allowed to be around when that night came. They didn’t want to have to tear me to shreds.

"I’ll help you with that." My brother, Cullen Silver, said He had just finished his studies, which is why we had to move.

My parents didn't want people asking why they rarely aged despite being around for more than a decade or even more.

"It's something you'd do for the rest of her life."My sister, Misty, said sarcastically with a smirk on her face.

She was the one who bullied me throughout my school life.

At first, I thought it was just a sisterly squabble, but when we entered high school, the bullying became frequent and brutal.

The only people who seemed to like having me around were my brother and father.

"Ignore her. "I'm sure she's just jealous." My brother tried to reassure me.

"What does she have to be jealous of?" "She is older than me, but she looks the same as we did when we were ten." I replied, making my brother chuckle.

"Maybe she is jealous of your hair." He said as he ran his fingers through it, "The gray matches your right eye."

"You mean the eye I hide using contacts so I don't have to embarrass mom?" I asked.

I had two different-colored eyes. One was gray, the other blue.

My mother didn't like that from the day I was born. She didn't like the silver hair either; she did try to dye it black when I was young to match my twin sister, Misty, but my father asked her to let me decide when I got older, something she understood as meaning she should leave me alone forever.

"Mom is just a complex person, but she loves you very much." Cullen tried to reassure me as he put the suitcase in the closet of my room.

"Enough about her." "What are you going to do now that you've finished high school?" I asked.

He sighed, "I have no idea." Mom and Dad want me to go back to their home town, where vampires are known to reside, so I could be the new leader." He explained.

"And what do you want?" I asked.

He smiled and said, "I would love to travel the world." Meet new people. Learn about new cultures. "Experience something that I have never had before." He said.

I smiled and said, "Why can't you do that?" I asked.

"Because he has a duty to fulfill, and he has to do it." My mother said this as she appeared outside my room.

That was something else. I didn't like the hearing. They could hear anything from very far away.

"He has an eternity to be the leader of your hometown. "Why can't he just go out and explore the world?" I asked.

My mother sighed. "I don't expect you to understand." But your brother knows what he has to do."

I stood up and went to get the rest of my things. But my mother stopped me, saying, "We don't have the whole day for you to move things at your pace, so let Cullen help you." She said this as she vanished in a split second.

Cullen patted me on the shoulder and said, "Sometimes I want to be just like you." Maybe then I wouldn't have all this pressure to be something I might not like." He added as he sped away.

What he didn't know was how lonely it was to be me.

Cullen and Misty were taught things that I was never taught, but at least my father taught me how to fight. He thought that I might need it considering I didn't have lightning-fast reflexes.

I arranged my room for the better part of the day, and by the time I was done, dinner was ready.

Everyone had their drink, which was manufactured to have the same taste and texture as blood. It also helped them walk around in the sun without being affected by it.

My parents studied a lot of things, and that's how they were able to formulate that concoction, which made them very famous. In the vampire community, that is.

I just had my orange juice.

"Are you guys excited for your first day at a new school?" My father asked my sister and me.

"Well, I can't wait to make friends." "People are always drawn to me." With a shrug, she said.

"What about you, Marceline?" He asked.

"She is going to be a nerd and lonely like usual." Misty replied with a snicker.

I sighed and replied, "The sooner I finish high school, then I can go as far away from here as possible."

The dinner table went silent as everyone looked at me.

I continued to eat without a care in the world.

"Marceline, you can't just leave your family." My mother said

"Why do you care?" "As long as you have your perfect little Misty, you barely even notice me!" I snapped as I threw the napkin on the table, "I’m going to bed." I said as I excused myself from the dinner table.
