Meeting The Future Alpha
1566 Words
Cat’s POV:
Tonight is the official welcome party for Lucas, last night I didn’t get to official talk to him; he was busy getting to know a few warriors and Derrick. I didn’t stay long at the little get together, most people left like an hour after especially the females who have no mates.
They desperately want Lucas’ attention.
Derrick is busy this morning showing Lucas around and showing him how our pack warriors train outside; so I will not be seeing Derrick till lunchtime.
“Hey Catalina, what are you wearing for the party tonight?” My friend Sammy asks as we walk outside.
“Mom brought me a dress a while back, I’ll wear that”, I shrug.
“Is it the same dress you wore at that dinner party a few months ago?”
“Yeah, I only wore it once”, I shrug.
“Absolutely not, everyone saw you in that dress already”, she shakes her head, “come, we’re going shopping.”
“Now?”
It was after ten in the morning.
“Yes now, we can make it back before three if we go now.”
“I don’t want to miss lunch, it’s the only time I’ll be able to see Derrick”, I whine.
“You’ll see your boo later.”
“He’s not my boo”, I blush slightly.
“Not the way you been acting around each other, you can’t fool no one with that best friend status.”
“It’s true, we’re only best friends.”
“Whatever, let’s go”, we go back inside and to our rooms to get ready.
I mind link Derrick.
‘Hey, what you’re doing now?’
‘Just listening to our future Alpha talk to the warriors, what’s wrong?’
‘Nothing is wrong, Sammy is carrying me dress shopping.’
‘Good luck, I’ll save you a plate for lunch.’
‘Thanks, but I don’t think I’ll make it for lunch.’
‘You better, that’s the only hour I’m getting to, see you till later before the party.’
‘I know, that’s what I told Sammy.’
‘Try to find a dress quickly and come back.’
‘I will, how is he? Still blank face?’
‘Yes, the guy hasn’t even broken a smile since even when his brother greeted him.’
‘I’m sure he’ll come around.’
‘Eventually, well see you later.’
I meet Sammy outside her room, “let’s go shopping.”

“This dress will look lovely on you”, Sammy says as she lifts up the short, red dress with frizzles.
I rather short dress than long, it’s just a normal little party no need to go all out on the floor length dress.
“Sure”, I nod and take it.
This is our third store and I haven’t found the ‘perfect dress’ yet as Sammy stated.
Lunch will be serve in fifteen minutes and I’ll be missing out on some good dessert, Lucas will even be; Derrick told me and said he’ll keep a piece of the cake for me.
He’s such a best friend.
I put on the dress and stops right above my knee, it has a v neck cut both front and back.
It’s good.
I step out of the dressing room and Sammy nods, “that’s definitely the dress, you have a red heels home right?”
I nod.
“Good, I made an appointment for one at a spa; we’ll have a massage and pedicure done”, she states.
I groan, I just want to go home and eat my cake.
“I want to go home”, I say.
“After the spa, it’ll be one hour”, she says.
I mind link Derrick.
‘Wouldn’t make it back in time’
‘Aw, that sucks; I’ll put the cake in the fridge for you’
‘Thank you, can you like ask Lucas to give you time off when I come back after 2?’
‘I’ll see, kind of in a meeting now with dad, Alpha Keith and Lucas’
‘Sorry, later’
‘It’s okay, it’s boring’
I laugh in my mind
‘Don’t laugh’
‘Later big head’
‘Later kitty’
“Are you done mind linking your future boyfriend?” Sammy teases.
“He will not be my boyfriend”, I blush.
“Then why you’re blushing?” She smirks.
“Shut up and let me go change”, I roll my eyes.
“You didn’t deny it”, she grins.
I ignore her and go back into the room.

“Thank you for coming, hope to see you again soon”, the assistant says as she hands us one gift bag each.
“You will this place is lovely”, Sammy smiles as I take up my shopping bag.
“Glad you enough it”, she smiles and leaves us.
“Ready to go home?” Sammy turns to me.
“Did you really have to ask”, I scoff.
She laughs.
Sammy has a mate, he’s a pack warrior and Sammy helps around the house. They met three years back when Sammy was running from rogues and he saved her.
“Isn’t your mate worry about you?” I ask.
“All the damn time, but I like that”, she smiles.
He was also protective, when I first introduce her to Derrick who made a mistake and try to flirt with her, her mate had him on the ground in seconds.
When we arrive at the pack house, Derrick immediately lifts me up in his arms, “don’t ever leave me like that again.”
“Blame Sammy, she’s the one who took me”, I say.
“Way to throw me under the bus Catalina, I thought we were friends”, she fake cries.
“We are friends”, I wink.
“Don’t take her away from me again”, Derrick warns teasingly.
“See how protective he is and you’re saying you’re just friends”, Sammy scoffs.
“I wanted us to be more, but kitty here is just so stubborn”, Derrick smirks and so did Sammy.
“I hear wedding bells in the future”, she teases and goes upstairs.
“Can you put me down now?” I ask.
“Why would I do that? I thought you like being off the ground.”
“I do, but I want to eat my cake.”
“Fine, meet me outside in the back when you’re done”, he puts me down.
I enter the kitchen where there is no one to be seen, the chef probably step out for a while. I open the fridge and see the cake on a plate wrap in plastic wrap with my name on it; I grin and take it out.
“Catch you red handed”, someone says behind me and I jump; I turn around.
“Don’t do that again, you scar-”, I stop talk when I realize a pair of emerald color eyes watching me, “sorry”, I mumble and look down.
“No need to look down Catalina”, he says.
How did he know my name?
“Derrick told me, at first I thought you guys were mates from the way you been acting with each other”, he leans against the counter.
“Can you read my thoughts?” I ask.
“No, it was all written on your face.”
“Oh, well I’m going now”, I take the cake and close the fridge.
“That’s why he didn’t eat his share, he was saving it for you”, Lucas says.
“You mean the cake?”
“Yes, I thought he was allergic to chocolate.”
“He’s allergic to blueberries and strawberries”, I state.
“Make sense when he didn’t touch the blueberry muffins.”
“Are you ready for the party?”
“It’s lame, but my parents insist”, he scoffs and I chuckle.
“Well nice meeting you Alpha Lucas”, I say.
“I’m not alpha yet, you can just call me Lucas”, he says.
I nod and leave.
I just had a conversation with the future alpha, he didn’t snap at me.
I got to tell Derrick this.
