Scarlett POV
I'm excited and nervous for tonight's mating ball. This will be the third time I've gone because I haven't found my mate yet. "Scarlett, can you come down please" my mother yells from downstairs. Yes mom I'm on my way. I reach the bottom of the stairs and both my parents are waiting for me. "Scar, are you ready for tonight, I have a good feeling about this mating ball?" I'm nervous mom. What if the mate I meet expects me to just be a Luna? My mother gives me a glare. You know I don't mean that your position isn't important, mom, I just want to keep my Alpha status. I worked really hard to prove myself as a capable Alpha. "I know what you mean but, be careful how you say things because other, Lunas will definitely take offense." Yes mom, what do you think, dad? "I think that you are a beautiful, strong Alpha female and any male will be lucky to find you." Dad you have to say that, you know what I mean do you think that they will be upset I won't let them become their Luna. "If they do then they will have to get over it because you are the next Alpha of the Crimson Pack." I kiss my father on cheek. He is the best man and Alpha I know. After everything he and my mother went through at my sperm donor's hands, I'm happy the Moon Goddess picked him to be my father. I know they didn't really want me even to know about Chase, but I'm glad they didn't keep it from me.
I head back up stairs and my sister Maggie, who is fifteen, is waiting at my door. Her full name is Magnolia Teressa Wolfe but we all call her Maggie. "This sucks that I have to wait till I'm eighteen to go to the ball." "I want to go with you tonight." I laugh so eager to find your mate, little sister. "Thomas found Jenny when he turned eighteen, and you will probably find your mate this year so I will be all alone." I'm a little bit jealous my younger brother found his mate before I did but I love Jenna. I'm not leaving even if I find my mate, so you need to calm down. The look on her face is priceless. "How will that work if an Alpha has his own pack?" I don't know, but we will have to figure it out because I'm an Alpha too. She smiles "can I at least help you get ready for the ball?" Yes Sienna will be here soon and you can both help me.
I know its probably cliche, but my dress is red in color and I look awesome in it. I'm not really into fashion or think too highly of myself, but I love this dress. Once the girls help me with my make-up and hair, I'm standing in front of the mirror. "Holy s**t Scarlett, you look amazing", Sienna says. Thanks Si, I do look pretty good. "Pretty good my ass", Maggie says. I whip my head in her direction. Excuse me potty mouth. "Oh don't act like you, never heard the word I'm fifteen not a child." I laugh, let mom hear you and see if she feels the same way. I see her smirk fall and she stops talking. I walk down stairs where both my parents are waiting to walk me to the car that will be driving me. I kiss them both good bye before I get in and head to the ball. When we arrive, I take the driver's number for when I'm ready to be picked up. I fix my dress and walk in with my head held high.
As soon as I'm inside, Ember is growling in my head. "Mate is here, find mate." Alright, Ember calm down and let me find him. The most intoxicating smell of citrus and mint hits my nose. I start to look around and see the most handsome man walking in my direction. He must be 6'2" with shoulder-length blonde hair. His smile is panty melting when he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me to him. He growls in my ear "mate." He puts his nose in the crook of my neck and breathes deep. Yes mate, what's your name? My name is Zane Helm Alpha of the Halfmoon Pack and you smell like lavender with vanilla. I'm glad you like it because your scent is just as good to me. My name is Scarlett Wolfe Alpha of the Crimson Pack. He pulls back, shock clearly written on his face. "Alpha, but your a woman and my future Luna." I feel a growl but I push it down. "Well that's interesting" he says with a smile, but it doesn't reach his eyes.
He takes my hand, leading me out of the ballroom and toward the elevators. Where exactly are we going, Zane? He turns with a smile "to mate of course." Don't you think we should talk about how we will handle both being Alpha's? "We can figure all that out after we make everything official." Well, at least he didn't reject me for wanting to still be Alpha of my pack. The pull to be with him and the tingles where our hands are touching is amazing. I know that we will have a lot to get past, but I can't wait to mate and mark with this man. We reach a hotel room upstairs from the ball and I walk in behind him. He immediately crashes his lips down on mine. I can feel my panties dampen just from the kiss. He walks me backwards and lays me out on his bed. I'm so happy I saved myself for him. He pulls my dress off and I'm laid out before him in a pair of red panties. The dress wouldn't allow for a bra. My black hair is spread out on the pillow. "You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life." I'm glad you feel that way since we are meant to be together forever. He never says anything about my comment but I brush away the feeling of unease. It is just my nerves about this being our first time.
He pulls my panties down my legs, kissing my thighs . Once I'm bare, he climbs up my body, hovering his member over my entrance. "Are you ready Scarlett?" Yes, Zane make me yours. He pushes his c**k into my body an inch at a time, giving me time to adjust to his size. " You're so tight Scarlett, your a virgin, aren't you?" Yes I saved myself for you. I feel like pain flashes across his face at my words, but it's gone so quickly I'm not sure. "Such a good girl only giving this p**sy to me." His words make me wetter, he starts to move in and out of me at a steady pace. I can feel my orgasm building in my lower abdomen. He reaches down and starts to rub my cl*t pushing me over the edge. I can feel his warm jets of c*m empty inside me. I don't even care we didn't use protection. I'll have a pup when the Moon Goddess sees fit to give me one. He stands walking to the bathroom before he comes out and stands at the end of the bed smiling at me. "Scarlett, what's your full name sweetheart?" I smile, knowing he is about to make his declaration to accept our bond even though I hate the pet name he just used. My full name is Scarlett Rose Wolfe. "I, Zane Joseph Helm, reject you, Scarlett Rose Wolfe, as my mate and Luna." The minute the words leave his mouth I feel sick. That ba**ard just rejected me after he f**ked me.
