Alpha Rhys POV
Ah it's finally the time for the Alpha Games!
Hopefully, I will be able to find my second chance this year. I've worked so hard to continue to be the best Alpha I can be. After Carly died I almost lost myself. We had barely known each other. I had just found her 3 days prior to the biggest rouge attack the Starfall Pack has ever seen. We are the strongest pack besides the royals and that's all because of Carly's death.
My father had not been a good man but started our downfall. He was working with the rouges to try to overthrow the throne. I caught wind of it and informed High King Rafe. He sent soldiers to help take care of my Father and set me up as Alpha. I was born with the mark as my Father's only child.
Carly was caught in the crosshairs during the battle. She was trying to save a little girl but got killed in the process. The little girl lived thanks to Carly but I lost my mate before I could even be the mate she deserved. I'm still a virgin. I refuse to mate with anyone who isn't meant to be mine. The Alpha Games are my ticket to a new mate hopefully. I will always love Carly but if my second chance is a true Luna she will understand. I will love her as well of course but Carly will always be in my heart.
My Beta Trever walks in and slams the door shut.
"Ugh these thirsty bitches need to back the f**k off." He says with a sigh as he sits in one of the high-backed chairs in front of my desk. He then has the audacity to put his feet on my desk. I slap them off so quickly if he wasn't part wolf his bottom half would have spun off.
"What the f**k do you think your doing?" I ask as I stare him down. The fucker doesn't even shrink back.
He just stares back because he knows I would never hurt him. He's safe for now. At least he does a good job at being Beta even if he is annoying.
"I wanted to get a way from the crazy bitches in this house. I'm waiting for my mate I don't need shewolf whores to continue to throw themselves on me. You never know when I could meet her and I only want to smell like a male!" He yells and I just bust out laughing.
How the f**k did we end up here? Two virgins leading a pack of wolves with the most thirsty she-wolves out there. Good Goddess why did you do this to me. Thank you again for the Alpha Games being a day away. I leave tonight since my pack is only a 5-hour drive to the palace.
"Well Trever all I can say is keep it in your pants and good luck while I'm gone. I will be back after the games hopefully with a second chance mate. Once she comes along I'll be able to allow you to tour other packs to find your fated mate." I try to reason with him as well as subtly hint that he needs to leave so I can get things set up because I have to leave in 3 hours.
"OK Alpha I understand. I will take you up on that as soon as you find your second chance. I have a feeling this year is going to be special. I'll be watching as always. Ok I'll let you finish getting ready. See you after the games Alpha."
With that Trever is gone and I'm all alone with my thoughts yet again. Yes maybe this year will be special and the Goddess will bless me with a second chance. I know it's what Carly would have wanted for me and I for her had our roles been reversed. All I hope is I end up with someone understanding, kind, and gentle. One can hope, right?
Trever's POV
I walked out of Rhys's office and decided I needed a run. I sped walked outside where I stepped into the tree line. I then took off my clothes and started my shift. My wolf Trey is excited to be let out. It has been a while. After I changed to my wolf I picked up my clothing in my mouth and ran off. I decided I wanted to head over to my favorite dive a couple of towns over.
I walk down the stairs into the darkness of the bar. It takes a minute for my eyes to adjust but when they do I see the normal regulars. A used p***y smell wafts my way as the bartender slides my beer down the bar. It's at that point I feel the small hand caressing my soft bulge trying to get my little guy to pay attention. I pushed the hand away so fast Shelby the bare w***e almost fell off her stool.
"Do not f*****g touch me. How many times do I have to tell you I will never touch your used ass body. I want nothing to do with you. I can smell at least 4 guys on you and I'm not into used females and loose ass pussies." She's got tears in her eyes as I hold her hand away from my body but I could care less.
She acts like this every time I come here and she is not my mate so I am not interested. s**t, I wouldn't even be interested if she was my mate with how loose she is. I expect a virgin if I don't end up being someone's second chance.
Shelby scurried away after I let go of her wrist. I'm so annoyed with the exchange I pay my tab and walk back out the door.
As I walk out I feel something quite small hit my chest. I look down into the most amazing green eyes I have ever seen. I am mesmerized and the only thing I can do is grab her and pull her into me exclaiming "MATE!!!"
She looks up at me in wonder as I stare down in amazement. I can not believe I finally found her. This is amazing! I didn't even have to try very hard. I won't be able to tell Rhys until after the Alpha Games but that's OK it gives me time with her to myself. I slowly wrap my arms around her hoping she melts into me which she does. it makes me feel so good to finally have my mate in my arms.
However, way to soon she pulls away from me and asks me the question I have been dreading since learning I need to stay away from all females except my mate.
"Why do you smell a little like booze but a lot like used w***e p***y?" She spits out absolutely pissed.
Yup I'm in trouble.
