Alpha Gavin

Chapter 1

Mia's POV

"I can't tell who the mighty Alpha of the Sullivan Pack is going to have as his mate," I hear my stepsister ask her sister from the living room. Since her voice is always loud, I can hear every detail of what they are saying. Alpha Gavin has been her long time crush, his beauty, height and stature with his eloquence has made him the dream guy for so many girls, not only in my pack.

His frequent appearance on TV interviews and fashion magazines sweeps off the minds of so many she-wolves. I draw my mind away from their conversation, Gavin is too good for me. Having the dream of being his mate would just be good as a dream, it might just remain a dream forever.

My pack, the Mayweather Pack, will be celebrating the Mating Culture festival today at the Pack Square, so many Alphas would come from far and wide to be in attendance. Alpha Gavin who has become the talk of the household is likely to be in attendance because he hasn't found his fated mate yet. My stepsisters' heads are almost blowing up with the imagination of being discovered as his mate. He is coming all the way from Sullivan Pack.

It's a custom to carry this out once every year, for all Alphas who haven't yet found their mates, they organize a festival and all the unmarked she-wolves will attend in their numbers. It's believed that his mate will be in attendance, she will be among the ladies who show up and then he would be attracted to her by the scent.

None of this concerns me, my only concern is to get to the Sullivan Pack where I dream to get into modeling school, work at the same time with a company for knowledge, my dad is the Alpha, my mom remarried and since then, it's been many years now, I've not seen her. As my dad got married to his second Luna, she came with two of her daughters, almost my age, Lilah and Jessica. When they arrived at first, I thought I could see them as sisters but no, they didn't see me the way I saw them, rather they saw me as a slave. No one here loves me except my elder sister, they say I'm too clumsy, weak and dull. Well, I don't give a f**k to what they say I am. I just mind my own way.

Suddenly, my door springs open and before me stands a giant muscular frame, my dad who is the Alpha of our pack, Mayweather Pack. His look on its own is enough to tell me that all is not well, I rise up from the bed I was lying on. He is just one of the persons I fear most in my life as if he was a total stranger who is claimed to be mafia.

"What are you still inside of here?" He thunders. His furious eyes shake and I shiver from the intensity of his voice. "Your sisters are getting ready for this important occasion and you are here." He dives in and heads to take a metal rod to beat me, I jump right out of the bed and hop outside of the room.

"I didn't intend to go for this, dad." I muttered as I raced out, I thought he wouldn't hear but when I turned, his eyes had turned completely red.

"If you don't leave this house for that place, I'll make sure you are not a living being by tomorrow." I gasp, shaking my head in disgust.

"Dad, you're too wicked to say this to me." I say inside of me, I can't confront him openly. My eyes collide with my step sisters who had come out to see what's going on, they have a sarcastic expression on their faces which is making me look downcast.

I rush straight to the bathroom, this is like two hours left to start the festival and we are all going to assemble at the Pack's Square, which would accommodate up to three thousand girls. This is a very small amount for the visiting Alphas to choose from, I can't see myself being chosen, just going to quench my dad's temper. In ten minutes, I'm done with a scented bath and out, my dressing style falls for casual.

"Look at you, b***h. Is this how you will attract the Alpha?"

"What did you just say?" I choose to ignore them. "Why would a thing like her attract the Alpha, what happened to us!" I walk straight to my room to spend some time waiting for the time to come.

At last 11 AM is here. The square is about thirty meters away, Dad picks up Leila and Jessica with his car, ignoring me, so I have no other choice but to walk here. The ceremony starts as normal, it's speculated that the next event will be the arriGavin of this famous Alpha whom everyone holds in high regard and admiration. In his absence, it's as if the ceremony hasn't even begun, everyone expects his arriGavin. All are looking forward to this, even me.

I heard he's very handsome, tall and muscular, and young as well. I've not only heard but seen quite a good number of times in the tabloids but I would love to set my eyes on him today, this would be a great accomplishment to me. Though I don't have much to wear, I made sure I look my best, no one wants a tattered mate. I didn't apply any makeup on my face, except a hot-blood lipstick, straightening my hair and making it fall over my back. I look down to assess my dress, though simple, my red gown is neat and pressed, with the slit up to my hips making me look sexy. My black heels are the only fashionable shoes I have, I couldn't afford to put on any other shoe apart from it.

I would also want to try my luck with this Prince Charming of an Alpha although I don't put so much hope of getting him. Gavin arrives in the company of his officials, cheers and delighted murmuring among the girls starts, all eyes are on him despite the numerous Alphas present. He looks so much like the Alpha King among them, if an Alpha King were to be chosen, from among them, it would surely be him.

Due to the large crowd, I have to really strain my neck just to accomplish my wish, here my eyes collide with Leila, I didn't even realize that she has been near me all these while. She gives a smirk, I know what's going on in her mind right now, but I choose to ignore. I keep on staring at the Alpha, tormented by his beauty that I lose consciousness of what's happening at the ceremony. All I wish for in my life now is to get a mate that will be fine as this Alpha, someone who would save me from the daily agony I face being in my family. A mate will shower me with all the love I need, we will create a new family and forget about this current one which is causing me so much pain.

I'm lost in my own thoughts, forgetting about what's going on around me until a deep, wild berry scent mixed with almond and olive came through my nose, still I was still thinking, I didn't give my attention to it, not until a deep, harsh voice scared me off balance. I stagger, almost falling.

"Are you the one?" A deep, sexy voice, rich in nature and thrilling looms over me. I raise my head from the ground I was staring at while lost in thought. My heart begins to thump so fast with the body frame beside me who has swallowed me up in height, body size and the beauty, with his blue charming eyes which seems like they would make me melt. My legs begin to shake as I feel the charming, overpowering aura of the personality beside me. It's purely like a dream which I'm caught in, without a redemption.

"Are you…sure.. it's me, Alpha?" I stammer. I didn't expect someone like me would be fated to such a demi-god, an angelic prince living among us. His presence alone commands authority and attraction. All eyes are on us right now. His appearance and the aura surrounding him intimidates me I would say, but for good. I have never come across a man this sexy and handsome, he's even more charming than he appears to me in the Tabloids and journals.

"Yes, you are the girl I've been waiting for all my life. What's your name?" He asks.

"Mia," I put forth my response with all politeness.

"Mia! Wow, what a nice name." He pulls me closer to himself and sinks his lips into mine, breaking away all the strongholds and discipline I had created for myself, his kiss happens to be my very first, so mind blowing it has to be in the public under the watchful eyes of everyone. I don't care either, I'm really soaked into this world Gavin has placed me into, with the butterflies in my stomach and bubbles sparkling in my head. I close my eyes, stretching myself to be on the same level with his height as I initiate the kiss this time, the touch of our lips and tongues with this wild scent of his ravage my entire being. In this world we are in, it's only him and I, no one exists.

The more we continue to kiss, the more the electricity sparks across my veins, our bodies are pulled closer and I can even feel his bulge pointing hard against my groin region. I'm melting right now, if not that he holds my waist, I would fall with weakness from passion and not rise up because my legs are literally weak.

With him and in his arms, I feel warmth and safety. But still I doubt if this is a dream or reality? So I'm finally gonna leave this pack and my family for good? No more humiliations. I can't believe it! Slowly I wrap my hands around him, holding him tight and not wanting to let go of him.

I can hear whispering from the crowd of girls, if not that I'm with him, I would fear being stoned. I know that most of them here set their hearts on Alpha Gavin, that's the whole truth but right now, it turned out to be me, I'm the target of jealousy. I remember my stepsisters, they are here too and would carry the news to my dad, thank God I came, who cares to return to say goodbye before leaving.

Gavin pulls out a little bit, slowly, I grunt. I don't want to pull away but it's like one of his men tapped him, hoping to say something to him. How dare he do that? As I hear Gavin discussing with his men on how they would return to Sullivan Pack right away, my heart beats with joy. I don't see the need for delay, nor do I see the need of saying goodbye to anyone. I have no one who loves me here, who cares about their love right now when I have someone who would make me feel safe and secure. Gavin is all I ever needed.

"Wouldn't you mind returning with me right away, I don't see the need of saying goodbye to anyone?" I smile as Gavin repeats the same thing I had in mind. His eyes collide with mine, causing me to blush and slightly look away, but still I feel the heavy effect. His eyes are killing me, making my legs weak but I would rather grow weak with passion than strong from lack of love.

His wolf must have told him of what I pass through in this pack, and in my family. We haven't met before, neither does he know me before now yet he is saying the same thing I was speaking to myself a few minutes ago.

"Hmm," I sigh in relief. I nod to what he just said.

Even without him saying this, I wouldn't want to waste a dime of time here. Of course I have nothing good keeping me, the only one I would have stopped to say goodbye to before passing to Sullivan Pack where he is taking me to would have been my mom but she remarried, she was driven away by my dad when I was still a toddler, so I don't really know much about her except from the photos in the family album and the portraits in the historic room. This is the room all the pictures of those who were in one way or the other related to the Alpha gene ancestry are kept, my family is an Alpha family, my mom wasn't a member by birth and even though she didn't marry dad, her portraits are still kept there for historic purposes, same with mine even though no one loved both of us.

"I'll make sure I give you the best life ever, you are now my mate, so you don't need to worry about anything." I look into his eyes as he says this, here I can see our future, that glorious future of him not only being my mate and husband but the father of my kids. Warmth cascades over me, I grab his palms tighter as he holds my hand.

"Thanks Alpha," I smile.

"No, you don't need to call me that. We are mates. Call me Gavin, you're family now and that's what every member of my family calls me."

"Yes," he affirms, my eyes fills with gratitude as we walk to the luxury car packed a few meters away. As we reach the car, he steps forward and opens the door for me. I smile at his gentleman attitude, he doesn't care what anyone would say, he's serving his mate. Most Alphas are dominant and demand their mate to serve them, but here he is serving me, proving the pure gentleman. I'm so lucky, the moon goddess has really blessed me. My face is as radiant as ever. This day needs to be marked in history because it wouldn't be forgotten by me.

He gives me a warm smile, then closes the door, I thought he would open it himself but his PA is already there to do that, he closes it as Gavins gets in. I'm blushing, as I brush my hips, a little bit shy of his beauty. The next thing I feel his palms on both cheeks of mine, turning my face towards him, his face pulls closer and so our lips which unites together in a romantic kiss.

My eyes widen as our lips touch, the feeling of doing this right inside this luxury car, in our privacy is on a whole new level entirely, more romantic than before. I start now to imagine how it will be when he gets to claim me. The car starts to move, slowly we pull out of the square, I turn for once to look at those gathering there, one last look at them, I wish a romantic fate would locate them today but not like mine because it's so spectacular and I wouldn't wish to share such story with anyone in the whole world except my mate, Gavin.
