Alpha Prince's Legendary Mate

3. True Owner

I added the final touch to my tuxedo and looked at myself from the mirror. The man who was staring at me looked good, but not perfect as everyone says he is. But he is trying his best to go for the real perfectness… Not just from his looks but from his heart and soul too…

I am Ayaan Kleinhaus, the crown prince of the Kelinhaus Royal family in California.

I am not just a crown prince. I am a werewolf… An Alpha prince…

My family is one of the most popular and influential families in the werewolf community in the US. My dad, Alpha Andrew Kleinhaus and my mom Marian Kleinhaus are some of the most influential couples in our community. They are always ready to commit themselves to others, and both of them are true leaders. They lead the werewolf community in California peacefully and with lots of love.

However, despite the leadership of my parents, as a community, we have to face a lot of troubles and unfairness. We are in a country where werewolves comprise just one percent of the population. Most of the human don't even believe that werewolves are not just a myth. But those humans are not responsible for the difficulties we have in our community.

Then who is responsible for all these discriminations, unfairness, fear, and helplessness all of us are facing?

The Royal family of Washington, the Featheringhams, are responsible for all these problems.

There are Royal families in every state of the country. Out of them, five of the royal families are lead by werewolves. Featheringhams are the most powerful and evil set of wolves in the whole country. They are the ones leading the entire werewolf community in the country for a few generations.

Featheringhams are heartless and brutal. They define the rules for the community as they wish. Of course, other royal families get to help them defining those rules. But what happens at the end is Featheringhams creating those rules despite all the objections of the other royal families.

When it comes to following the rules, they are just applicable to the rest of the community, not to Featheringhams. They can break and bend the rules as they wish.

Though this unfair ruling has happened for many years, now we have come to the darkest era of US Werewolf history.

No one, even the other royal families, is not capable of going against the Featheringhams. If anyone tries to do anything that will disturb their law, they won't think twice before punishing that person. Those punishments can be changed on a scale of imprisonment of a few years to getting beheaded according to the amount of objection that man put against them.

In the current situation, no one dares to go against them. Everyone wishes to mind their own business and stay far away from the Featheringhams. But these heartless monsters aren't even letting us do that. They would create many unwanted problems in every local community and then get involved in the local matters, pretending like they will help the local community. But the truth is they just want to ensure their power over us.

In this dark era, all the werewolves have just one hope. That is for an ancient legendary prophecy to come true. None of the wolves has an exact idea of what that prophecy really is. They just know there will be someone who will fight for them and save them from Featheringham's madness.

According to my parents and the adults in our local community, I am responsible for a significant part of making that legendary prophecy come true. Again, none of them knows what my exact responsibility is. They just know one thing. When I am turned 21 years old, I will get to know about my true destiny. That means I would get to know about my part in rescuing our wolves from those evil monsters.

Since I can remember, my parents and other leaders in our local community are getting me ready for that unknown role.

I was taught to put the community first in my life before anything else. Since I can understand things, they taught me to fight, enhance myself with knowledge and all the necessary skills and lead.

Everything I did since I was young was a step towards getting ready for my destined role.

That's why I said I am trying my best to be perfect. You may think what else an alpha like me needs to polish more. Well… There are so many things…

I need to fight with my weaknesses and kill them. I have to keep my focus on my destined part of the prophecy without getting distracted.

Doing so is not easy as it seems. I can kill all my weaknesses and get rid of all my distractions except for one…

That weakness and that distraction is just an average-looking chubby girl in our college. ZURI…

I first met her when we were in high school. From the very first second my eyes landed on her face, I felt something special about her. But nothing I couldn't control. However, things started to get tensed after I turned eighteen. Since I found my wolf, Zion, my feelings for Zuri began to get intense.

I found her irresistible… I wanted to run to her and take her in my arms every time I see her. I almost mistake it as a mate bond. But Zion is sure this is not the mate bond. But whatever I feel for Zuri is beyond what I can explain, and it keeps me on my toes all the time.

According to the prophecy that appeared in our sacred caves on the day I was born, I am destined to be more than an alpha in a local community. My parents and other leaders got to know about my involvement in the legendary prophecy from this way. My mate would be the most powerful female wolf in the recent history of the US. Together we would work towards making the legendary prophecy come true.

Yes, you heard it right. My mate should be a wolf. Not just a wolf, the most potent female wolf in history.

So what Zuri is? Just an average human girl and a total distraction from my main focus. It is impossible to fight with my desires for her. But I have learned enough to control my feelings and put my community before my needs and wants.

What I couldn't bear is the fact, Zuri has the same feelings towards me. Maybe she has more powerful feelings for me than I have for her. Her love for me is written all over her face, and I couldn't stand seeing her like that.

That's why I started bullying her. I wanted to make her hate me and leave me alone. But more than that, I think I want to confirm that I don't care about this girl.

But going through all the bullying for years, she still looks at me with the same love in her eyes.

When I hurt her, I am the one who gets hurt more. Every insult, every kick or punch she has to take because of me, hurts me million times than they hurt her. Also, Zion doesn't like hurting Zuir at all. He always protests whenever I am going to hurt her. He sometimes stops talking to me for days because I hurt Zuri without listening to him.

Anyway, I was not ready to stop. I need to find a way to get rid of this distraction. Actually, I am ashamed of myself for feeling this way for a human girl when my destined mate, the female wolf, is out there somewhere.

I just wish I turn 21 super soon. So I will get to know my crucial part in the legendary prophecy, and I will know who my mate is. After I meet her, I am sure I would be able to completely forget Zuri and focus on my destined role.

"Ayaan..." it was my dad calling me through the mind link.

"Dad..." I said.

"Come to my office before going to the party," he said. The way he sounded clearly said he is worried.

So I quickly left my room to go and meet him.

On my way, I met mom. She looked gorgeous in her new dress.

"Oh my! Look how handsome my prince is!!!" she cried happily as she saw me.

Then she stood from her toes and kissed my cheek.

"My baby… I love you so much," she said.

"Love you too, mommy boo!!!" I said, kissing her cheek as well.

Mom is always like this. No matter how much I grow up, I m still her little baby. My dad is a hard man, but my mom is always gentle and kind. She is not a mom just for me; she is a mom to every wolf in our community.

After she left, I went to dad's office room.

"Is it true Adrian came to the college?" he asked as soon as he saw me.

"Yeah..."

"I thought you know everything that happens in the college," he said. He sounded a bit angry,

"I know everything happens there. I don't know how he managed to come there without me even knowing." I said worriedly.

"Did you find why he came?"

"He is going to transfer from next semester," I said.

"F**k! This is really bad! He won't transfer from that prestigious university without something very important." dad said.

"I know, dad. But we couldn't find the reason behind his transfer. But we are on it."

"Ayaan, you better find that reason as soon as possible. Else we all are in big trouble. As same as his dad, this young man is nothing but bad news." dad said.

"Okay, dad…" I replied.

Then I left his room to go to the main ballroom in our palace. That is where my 20th birthday party is held. I have no interest in this party. But I have to attend it every year and wear a smile on my face for every wolf and human that comes to my birthday party.

Even when I walked towards the ballroom, I thought about what happened after Adrian took Zuri in his car. Harry, my beta, has seen them getting into a car, but after that, no information.

I wish I could call either Adrian or Zuri and ask what happened after that. But I was not in a position to contact either of them.

Zuri's Point of View

Gina was sitting on my bed and staring at me with wide eyes. Her jaws were on the floor after I explained everything that has happened in her absence… She directly came from college to my place because I kept her a message saying, 'Urgently meet me,'

"How could prince Adrian knows your address. That is fu**ing impossible. Maybe you told him the address though you don't remember it now." she said.

"No! I didn't tell him. "I said. But from deep down in my heart, I was not sure about that. Maybe I told him. I was in a super awkward situation, and perhaps I forgot what has happened. I thought, trying to make my heart.

I tried to call Adrian on the number he gave me. But his phone was switched off… That made me even worried and scared. I spent the whole night awake, but Adrian was not the only reason for that. I was thinking about Ayaan and looking at his birthday photos people updated on f*******:.

The following day, I went to college as usual with Gina. I went to my locker to get my books and found a small white box. I quickly opened it with shaking fingers.

Inside the box, there was the moonstone pendant and the chain I received as a gift yesterday. Also, there was a note.

"Because you are the true owner of this. "I even forgot to breathe as I saw that.
