The King Alpha’s Mate

Chapter Two

On the left was a floor to ceiling window, which provided an incredible view of the greenery. Against the wall, still on the left, was a double bed with a tall grey wooden headboard. They really like their grey and whites round here, don’t they?

Next to the bed stood a white IKEA desk just like the one I had at home, with a vanity mirror on top and across from the bed was a sliding double-door white wardrobe. One of the doors was white, whilst the other had a full length mirror. The right side of the room was almost replicated, however rather than a window there was a glass door leading onto a balcony. Without exiting the door, I couldn’t be sure how large the balcony was however I can assure you that it could easily fit an 8 seater dinning table on it.

“Which side is mine?” I asked, already knowing the answer considering the bed on the left failed to have any bedding covers.

“This side is yours Serena, please feel free to make it your own and Maddie will be here in a few moments to introduce herself. I’ll be back in an hour with the King.” Miss White smiled, before leaving my parents and I to unpack.

“Your room is amazing, I’m slightly jealous” my mother laughed.

I shook my head, not ready to make light on the situation and started putting my clothes into the wardrobe. My mother put fresh white bedding on the duvet and pillows, whilst my father helped to unload my clothes.

I took out my makeup from the box and started organising it into the draws provided by the desk, before putting my laptop on top.

“Hi, I’m Maddie”. An unknown voice said, scaring the life out of me.

I looked up to see a petite brunette stood in the doorway, smiling at me. Her hair was the same length as mine, reaching just by her waist. She had chocolate eyes and beautifully long eyelashes. She also had a cute button nose, which was complimented by a handful of fair freckles. She looked around my age. I walked towards her, extending my hand.

“Hi, I’m Serena. These are my parents, Claire and Tom”.

“Nice to meet you Claire and Tom. Serena, I can’t wait to get to know you! Don’t worry, I’m going to help you get settled in and I’ll be here for whatever you need”.

I nodded my head and smiled. “So where are you from, Maddie?” I asked whilst my parents went back to unpacking my things.

“Bristol, where are you from?” She asked.

“Manchester, so here in Kent couldn’t be further away” I rolled my eyes at my parents. Maddie giggled.

“Miss White tells me you haven’t accessed your wolf yet, well don’t worry, neither have I!” Maddie encouraged. Truth be told, that did make me feel better. In fact, meeting Maddie just made me feel a bit better in general. She seemed really nice and I was sure we were going to get on great.

“Right kiddo, you’re all unpacked” my father patted my back.

“I’m going to miss you” my mother sobbed before pulling me in for a hug.

“Well that’s your karma for sending me here” I rolled my eyes, whilst hugging her back. I turned and hugged my dad before he kissed my forehead.

“No playing silly buggers!” He warned.

“I can’t make any promises” I shrugged, hearing a laugh escape from Maddie.

“Bye kiddo” and with that they left me here. They actually left me here.

Well, there is no going back now.

I let out a breath I didn’t realise I had been holding and turned back round to Maddie, who was sat on her bed waiting for me to be ready to talk.

“Okay, tell me everything I need to know”.

“Well, there isn’t a uniform but the King does expect us to be appropriately dressed. In fact, that’s the quickest and easiest way to get into trouble. Most people are really nice but a lot of them are now mated, so they can be quite possessive over their mates”. Maddie explained, not realising she had given me the first idea I needed to cause trouble.

“Okay, what else?”

“The King doesn’t like mischief and he expects everyone to represent the pack well. There is a slight barrier between those who have their wolf and those who don’t, as they feel they’re more ‘developed’” Maddie rolled her eyes as she told me. “Meal times are at 7am-8am, with classes starting at 8.30am. Lunch is 12pm-1pm and then classes end at 3pm. Dinner is served 5pm-7pm. We are in all the same classes so you’ll always have me” Maddie smiled.

“What about the King, what is he like?” I heard rumours that he was ruthless before I arrived, however I could get on board with his punishments if he was hot.

“Oh he is dreamy” Maddie laughed. “Like incredibly sexy and he’s not mated. I think every girl in the academy wants to jump on him”.

I laughed at Maddie’s description. “I heard he was ruthless”.

“Oh he is, I’ve seen him fight with the pack and let me tell you, I would not like to be the one up against him”. Maddie shivered at the thought.

“See Maddie, now you have peaked my interest and I need to see it all for myself”. We both laughed.

“And what is it you need to see for yourself, Miss Blackmore?” A deep husky voice asked from the doorway. Without looking at the door, I already knew who was stood there. His voice had my tummy doing somersaults, as I felt a warmth in my heart. I looked up at Maddie, who’s eyes looked like they might pop out whilst starring at me. Obviously, she was startled by having our conversation heard.

I turned my head to look at the man stood in our doorway and upon meeting his gaze, I knew it was a good thing I was sitting down as I was certain my legs would have failed me.

In the doorway stood the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. His dark brown hair was short on the back and sides, with the top of his hair being longer and slightly swept to the right on his head. Scanning his face, I was certain I would cut my hand if I ran my fingers along his jaw. His lips were perfectly plump, looking extremely kissable, and the corners of his lips were turned up. He was wearing a white suit shirt, which seemed slightly small for him as his tattooed biceps looked as though they could rip though it any second. The first few buttons of his shirt were unfastened, showing his tanned chest and part of a tattoo. He had slim fit black suit bottoms on, which were complimented by polished black loafers. This man was huge and I didn’t mean just his 6 ft 5 height. I was sure he didn’t have an ounce of body fat on him. I looked back up to his face where I found his emerald green eyes piercing through me. Suddenly, heat rushed through my body and I was weak at the knees, I had no idea how he’d done this to me but I had an insatiable need to have him.

He lifted his chin, subtly smelling the air from the room, and smirked.

“Maddie, please go to your next class. I’m going to give Serena the tour of the school”. The man didn’t take his eyes off me.

“Yes, Your Majesty”, Maddie bowed her head and hurried out the room. She looked at me from behind the King and winked, before walking off.

Now it was just me, the king and my wet thong.
