The Unexpected Luna

Chapter three: Alexander’s POV

I looked at the woman in front of me, but felt nothing. Don’t get me wrong, she is beautiful, she has chestnut hair and green eyes, but I didn’t feel anything. I didn’t feel the pull that you do when you meet your mate, I didn’t think that she was an angel that had fallen from heaven. And most important, I couldn’t forget Ivy.

I talked with Alphas, who had a second chance mate, and they told me that you don’t forget about the first one, but your second chance mate occupies everything you thought, just like the first one did.

Was something wrong with me? She has the scent of my mate. Ares recognized her as such, but he didn’t tell me to mark her or anything else.

“She is not mate. Why does she smell like mate?” I don’t know Ares, but we are going to find out.

“Excuse me Alpha Ronald and Luna Kya, but this young woman smells like my mate.” They looked at each other in astonishment. They probably thought that an Alpha had found his mate in an omega, and that was a good thing for them. Unfortunately, that wasn’t true.

“Amanda, do you recognize him as your mate?” The poor girl didn’t know what to do. She didn’t look so young, but it was clear that she had been through something horrible, her eyes gave her away.

“No Luna, I don’t. I’m sorry.” Her eyes started tearing up. f**k! What have I done?

“Please explain yourself, Alpha Alexander.” Damn it, I didn’t want her to cry. She must think that something is wrong with her because she can’t feel the bond.

“I’m sorry for the confusion. She smells like my mate, she has something on that has her scent, but she isn’t my mate.” They looked at me with a strange look, like they didn’t know what I was talking about.

“When you find your mate, that person is all you can think about. I’m sorry Amanda, I don’t feel that with you, but for some reason you have a scent that my wolf recognizes it as the one of his mate.” I hope that clears out any misunderstanding.

“Then… I’m not your mate?” She looked at me with her green eyes, and it looked like she was disappointed by the news. It made sense, she thought she may be an Alpha’s mate, and I was taking that away from her in an instant.

“Well Amanda, what do you have that doesn’t belong to you?” Alpha Ronald asked her. She seemed to be deep in thought, like she couldn’t remember what part of her wardrobe had been on another woman.

“We could smell her and find out what that is.” No, Ares, that is invading her personal space, and we are NOT going to do that.

“Ugh, fine.” He retreated to the back of my mind. I knew he was frustrated, but we were not going to make someone uncomfortable by finding out what she had on that had my mate’s scent.

“My necklace! It doesn’t belong to me. It was given to me by my friend, but she came here for a visit a couple of days ago. She is now gone.” What? That didn’t make sense, the scent that I got from the necklace was fresh. Maybe a couple of hours long, so why was she lying?

“She is hiding our mate, we should interrogate her.” We will not do such a thing Ares. I get that you are anxious and want to find her, but we are in strange lands to fulfill a mission, and if we break any laws, Ivy is going to come here to blow our ass.

After that, Ares didn’t fight me anymore. He was the cautious one of the both of us, but it seemed that the possible presence of our mate was making him reckless.

“Alpha, we would love to speak with you in private.” The Luna addressed me. I looked at Joseph, because I didn’t feel comfortable being alone in a pack that I had just arrived.

“I’ll be honored Luna Kya, but my beta is my right hand, and he always attends my meetings, so I ask that he comes with me as well.” I couldn’t bring Chase into the mix because he was young and had no relationship with my pack, but I will ask him to stay in his room until we finished talking.

“That is fine, we understand. Amanda, please take the other gentleman to his room.”

“Chase Walker, he is a dear friend of mine.” I forgot that I never introduced them to the Alpha and Luna. Chase looked at me and gave me a silent ‘thank you’ before he went with Amanda inside the pack house.

“Please, follow me.” The alpha said to us.

The house wasn’t extraordinary. It was clear that there had been some renovations here and there, but they still lacked a lot of technology. They used a fireplace to heat the place instead of using a heater. And all the decoration was made of wood in a very traditional way. The floor was covered with a brown carpet that allowed the place to stay warmer.

The office was on the first floor, and it had everything that it needed. The alpha sat behind his desk while his wife stood by his side. We took the seats in front of him, and I waited for him to talk. I guess they wanted to explain to us some ground rules or ask us what happened back there. Either way, we were ready for his questions.

"Alpha, I asked you to come here because, from my understanding, you had a chosen mate before. So how could you know that the young woman wasn't your mate if you haven't experienced the mate before?" f**k, I didn't know how they got that information on me. Only a few people had that input because my father told everyone that Bianca and I were fated mates.

"May I ask how you got that information?" The Alpha smiled at me, f**k, I had fallen into his trap.

"I didn't know it, but you confirmed my suspicions. You see, a fated mate doesn't do the things that your mate did, and I guess that your fated mate is the one that your chosen one tried to kill." He was very intelligent, meaning that I had to be careful around him.

"I will not clarify that further, but yes, I had a fated mate, that is why I know how the bond works, and apparently my second chance mate is here, but your maid is hiding her." Now it was his time to look surprised. Of course, he noticed two scents, he was an alpha as well.

"I don't know what you are talking about." I didn't like the sound of that, this pack was hiding something from me, and I was going to uncover the truth, one way or another.

"Well, if that is all you wanted to talk about." I was going to leave the office, but then Luna Kya spoke.

"Look, my husband is just taking care of our members. Amanda is an orphan, and sometimes she meets with people we don't like."

"Rogues?" I interrupted her, and she nodded. It could make sense, but her scent wasn't the one of a rogue or an omega. Even if she was my mate, I could still tell what rank she was. The weird thing is that I detected nothing, like she wasn't a werewolf, like she was something else.

"Still, I would like to find my mate, after all, that is why we came." I looked at Joseph, there was nothing else we could discuss, and I wanted to start the investigation as soon as possible. In just a few minutes, I noticed that they were hiding something from us, and I was going to find out what it was.

"Wait, Alpha, you haven't presented us." Kya said, and she looked at my Beta in a strange way. I could feel how he tensed up, showing me that what I perceived wasn't in my imagination.

"Alpha, Luna, this is my Beta, Joseph Hale. I presented you to my other guest who came as a representative of the king's pack."

"So the king liked you even if you were his mate's first mate?" I did not like the tone he was using, or the sarcasm behind what he said. I squinted my eyes, but I was not going to let him see that he had said something true. I was going to play the same game that he was playing, and I was going to win.

"As I said, I don't know what you are talking about. I came here to find my mate, and apparently she is here. My friends would like to find the same thing as well, and if someone in your pack is Chase's mate, then you are going to be linked to the king. That is a great opportunity for you, is it not?" His eyes shined with greed. My suspicion was true, all he wanted was to obtain contacts and power for his pack.

I could understand that. He wanted what was best for the members of the pack, but what I could not understand was why he was hiding someone from the Alpha of another pack. That would mean that he could have a connection with me, another alpha.

"Now, if you don't mind, we would like to rest. It was a long trip." They didn't say anything else, so we exited the office.

I was going to find her, and I would uncover whatever the hell was going on here.
