Ruthless Alpha's Mate

Chapter 2

JANA

I watched as my parents walked out the door happily. They both held hands and headed to the party, leaving me alone in the house to clean up everything they have messed up with.

I take a deep breath and start working on the things at home. However, my parents are both prominent figures in that event, and I'm sure the Alpha's former Luna encouraged them to attend and they wouldn't want to be late.

This isn't new to me; both of them are strong supporters of the previous alpha. My father is even willing to lose his life to protect this pack and packland in order to prove how much he cares for the alpha territory.

Everyone admires and respects my father. He was so desperate to have a son so that the next generation will be the former alpha’s son Ashton and my father's son will lead, but that didn't happen because all he has was me. He didn't want a daughter, and that was why he hated me so much.

I hurriedly packed my belongings and finished cleaning the things I needed to tie up before going to the boring party.

I simply wore a black dress that my mother tossed on me. I didn't have anything to wear today, so the former Luna, the only one in this packland who cares about me, sent me this dress, which she hand-picked based on my size.

It's simple, yet it's so alluring. It obviously shows my body sculpture and shape, which is something I'm not comfortable with because I know there are a lot of people in that party searching for someone to harass and have fun with.

I just put on some face powder and lip tint and I'm done. I don't need to appear like everyone else because they spent so much time and effort on this night party simply to attract male wolves who aren't their mates.

I chose to wear the simple flat shoes that I've had in my possession for the past two years. I don't have many good outfits for myself because my mother never provides me with good outfits for formal and occasional gatherings like today.

I was not sure what I'd have put on, if the previous Luna didn't send me this dress. I'm pretty sure I'll look like a maid at that party, and everyone will make fun of me if I wear the old clothing I have in my closet.

After examining myself in a broken mirror in my room, I decided that it was time to start going to the party. My parents will be upset if they learn that I'm not at the party because Luna Ashana will definitely be looking for me.

I can definitely hear the loud music as I get closer to the pack house. The pungent scent of alcohol fills the air, combining with the barbeque and other delicacies on the lawn.

As I walked towards the pack house, I moved my heavy legs slowly. I'm not sure why I'm feeling so strange right now. I can't explain why my heartbeat is racing and it appears that my body is sensing something I can't understand.

It's strange, very strange.

I'm so nervous that my hands are freezing and my chest is pounding. I'm not sure why I'm feeling this way because I know I don't do anything, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

As I approach the gate, I blink twice. There are four heavily armed guards at the gate who glance over my shoulder to see whether I'm carrying a weapon or anything that could cause harm to others.

I can count the number of times I've stepped foot in this pack house since I was a child. I refused to come here since the newly appointed alpha bullied me in the past.

He's just like the others. He used so many nasty words on me that made me to burst in tears. He did a lot of awful things to me that was why I was the first person to be overjoyed when the previous alpha announced that he would send his son to study overseas with his team, which is now the new beta and gamma of this pack.

"Jana, come serve us here. Don't just stand there like a sack of potatoes!" Natalie, one of the snobbish women I despise the most in this place, stated.

One of the reasons why I never wanted to come here was because of this. This place is filled with arrogant bitches. They believe they are superior to everyone else because of their connections and power.

"I told you to fetch me something to eat!" Natalie yells as she stands up and stomps her foot on the ground.

I didn't bulge; Instead, I pretended not to hear her. Suddenly, her mate, Andrew, approaches her, snakes his arm around her exposed belly, and kisses her as if no one else is around.

I simply shook my head and walked inside. I needed to track down my mom and Luna Ashana. They need to see me first, and then I can proceed with my next plan.

As I walked into the large reception area, I noticed that my mother and Luna were not there.

"I'm pleased you're here. I had to tell you right away to go to Luna's room, she needs your presence there," according to an elderly lady.

She's the butler at this pack house, if my memory serves me correctly. I don't see her very often because I don't come here very much, but I recognize her by her strong scent.

I may not have a wolf, and she may not have surfaced yet, but I know she's there, waiting for the right moment to show herself. I'm not sure if it'll happen because I never talk to her the way I'm supposed to.

I chose the left wings since I know they rarely use them because they are so far away from the right wings, which is the pack's main entrance and where the majority of the pack members go on a daily basis.

Something unusual happened to me as I gently climbed the stairwell. When I heard a soft voice whisper, my eyes widened. My wolf has finally emerged.

"Hello, Jana, I'm Anaya, your wolf," said a sweet voice in the back of my mind.

If she hadn't told me to stay quiet and keep it to myself first, I would have almost leaped and screamed. I'm not sure why she wants me to keep her hidden right now, because if it's me, I want to yell here and all over the packland that I'm not a wolfless, that my wolf Anaya is here now, and I'm thrilled and proud of her.

"Anaya, what took you so long to come out?" As I made a hesitant step forward, I asked her, and she answered;

"Jana, the time isn't quite right yet. You’ll know someday, and you'll believe me when I tell you that both of us are unique," she explained.

"Do you think we've found a suitable match in future?"

This came out of my mouth, perhaps as a result of my eagerness. I'm not supposed to talk about what's going on in my life. I simply bring up a topic that I know is sensitive to her.

It's not easy to have two brains in one body. I don't know my wolf's character yet, because this is the first time I've spoken to her, so I need to be extra cautious about how I handle the matter.

"You better hurry," Anaya said as she prodded the back of my head.

"You won't like it if Luna waits too long and our mother finds out," she added.

Anaya seems to be aware of what's going on with me, which is why she said it. I know she can sense every feeling and sensation in me since she is the other half of me, even if she has only recently appeared.

"I guess it's amazing. You look good in that outfit." Luna Ashana stated; after I entered her room and kissed her cheek.

"Darling, you're gorgeous!" she said, with awe in her voice.

"Luna, I appreciate your gift. I am very grateful for everything you have done for me," I gave her a timid response.

Luna Ashana hugged me again before walking out and leaving me inside the room.

She requested that I assist her in tidying up some of her things and personal belongings. That was why she asked me to come into her room for a while.

Luna has only a few minutes left. The door swung open, and there stood the new alpha, proudly standing, looking straight into my eyes, and the heat spread throughout my body.

"Mate! Come on, mate, let's claim our mate!" Anaya said as she happily wiggled her tail.

My eyes widened as Alpha Ashon approached. I'm at a loss for words, especially now that he's in front of me.

"So, you're my mate?" he murmured, his hungry eyes full of lust staring at my face, down to my lips and breasts.
