ACE RAY D KING
PRESENT-DAY
"Hey, Darling?"
The voice of my mother echoed in my office. "Mother," I said, moving to give her a peck on the cheeks. "Have some of this coffee, you seem not to be having enough sleep," she let out a little worried.
I have been searching for Lucian since I got back home. I stared at the multiple maps and search papers, we searched every possible place but we still couldn't find her. "You know I hate it when you feel miserable, any news on Lucian?" she asked.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing mother," I said as she set the coffee on the table. "Son, your mother will always be here for you and no word can express my love for you! Don't ever be afraid to tell me anything, I'll always try my best to listen and I promise to get Lucian to you." she let out before engulfing her son in a big hug.
"You should drink the coffee before it gets really cold." she let out as she aimed for the door. "The pack celebration is coming up, the moon Goddess might have a surprise for you," she said with a wink. It had been weeks of searching for Luciana and we still couldn't find her.
The celebration coming up in the pack wasn't something I was worried about. All I was worried sick about was Luciana, but it seems she had really left me.

SABRINA SANTIAGO
"Have some of this, they are really tasty." the voice of Jasper let out as he spoon-feeds. "Wow, the meat speaks the expensive language to the mouth and they are delicious," I let out as loud laughter escaped his lips.
"Don't worry, I will make sure you have your tummy filled before we leave," he let out as he spoon fed me yet again. "You don't have to do this, even if I'm blind! I know the road to my mouth." I let out. "Instead of complaining why don't you have something more tastier," he let out before shoving more from where it came from.
"Oh my Yummy," I let out happily.
"What? You seem overwhelmed," he let out.
"I can't help it since the food is really good and we hardly eat anything like that," I let out as a hand was felt, patting my head softly. "I promise to feed you a lot of this then," he said as I beamed with a smile.
"Can you wait here while I get something?" Jasper asked, making me nod. "Did you see the Alpha?" a female voice spoke and Sabrina couldn't help but listen. "Yeah, he is so handsome! How I wish he would just look at me," another let out as a hiccup escaped Sabrina's throat. She wished she was in her usual environment, just maybe she could have located the kitchen.
Right now she wished Jasper was around to help her with something to stop the hiccup. After five minutes of the discomfort of hiccuping. She decided to find her way to get water. After multiple turns, hits, and apologies, she was standing at the drink table gulping down a cup of water like her life depended on it.
"Lucia?" A voice yelled.
She believed that it was none of her business until she was swirled around with a growl escaping the person's mouth. The growl was enchanting but yet scary. "Alpha Ace?" The murmuring of people around her was loud for her to listen to. Why was I feeling those chills?
Wait, the man who twirled me around was an Alpha? "Sabrina, stoop your gaze, you shouldn't show him that you are blind." A voice echoed in my head. But I couldn't after the most alluring scent hit my nostril.
My body almost jumped. "Mate," there was no way his scent was this strong to catch my scrutiny. Grandmother said you could know if you looked them in the eyes but I was blind, I wouldn't know and he wouldn't. Maybe he could have looked me in the eye.
He placed a hand on my chin to lift my head, but I refused to look him in the eyes. "It's a command and not a request, look me in the eyes," he let out. "I said look me in the eyes," he yelled louder that I couldn't help but shiver.
"She's blind," someone let out in the crowd. I could feel my legs go weak. "Are you blind?" he asked, but I kept mute.
"Don't let me repeat myself, are you blind?" he yelled in frustration. "Yes," I said with a teary and shaky voice. "A blind Mate," he yelled out for everyone to hear.
"The moon Goddess must be great to have given me a blind-mate, a useless and weak one! What can a blind person do? They are of no use," he let out as those words hit me hard. "You would never be good enough for me and therefore it would be a waste to have you as my mate," he said as my legs went weak,, I couldn't help it as I fell on the floor.
I wished that he could just stop because all his words were assassinating to the heart. "I, Alpha Ace ray d king reject you for a mate,"
He let those words out, shattering my whole heart in pieces and embarrassment. Why do I regret coming here? I shouldn't be here? I stood up to leave but his next words made me sick to my tummy.
"I don't want to ever set eyes on you, you might not survive being alive if we meet again," he let out as I tried to find my way out of the mating hall. The embarrassment broke my heart, the moment I couldn't hear any voices, I let out all the tears I had been willing to let out. This was the end. I was never going to find a mate.
"You're amazing and I will be glad to be your mate," the comforting voice came.
