Prologue

Dear reader,

Life is a road.

Whether we travel it skipping and singing or dragging our feet, we all have a journey to make. Us ordinary people navigate our own way through the maze of junctions and turnings to where we want to be. Some of us get lost along the way, some find other destinations before the right one, but it's all part of the adventure we call life

On the day he was born, it was paved from beginning to end in a straight, untwisting, unwavering line. No exits, no slip lanes, no laybys. Each sign pointed to one destination: becoming Alpha. This doesn't sound like the makings for a particularly interesting story. A child is born and seventeen years later he becomes an Alpha. That's it, right?
