Lina's POV
"Good Morning, Alpha!" Adi greets.
I smile at him. I might act like an ass around him but to me, he is a treasure. The apple of my eye. It is like .. I just need to protect him. If I have to be honest, Adi is like a kid trapped in a grown up's body. I only hope whoever his mate is, loves him unconditionally. He deserves it more than anyone!
"Good Morning, Adi!" I greet him back.
"You know what? We have bacon and eggs for breakfast!" He says excitedly.
I smile. He absolutely loves that. Adi was the most sensible and well spoken guy when he was given the training to become the Alpha. But when he knew he did not have werewolf genes in him and he cannot be the Alpha... He let it all go. He stopped bothering. He let his soul free. It's like.. he does what he wants and doesn't care because he is not an Alpha and he doesn't have to answer anyone.
"Good Morning, Alpha!!" Papa greets me too.
I smile.
"I like the sound of it. The first female Alpha" Nora says from the back of my head.
I cannot help but agree. I wish, girls were given many more opportunities including Alpha and Beta titles. I don't see what's wrong in it. Why is this world so male dominant!
I have my breakfast soon and walk out. My very first day as an Alpha. I don't know why, it feels different. The air, the vibe, the sight, the feel.. everything is different. People bowing to me as I walk. People smiling at me with pride. Wow! I cannot stop the goosebumps.
"Good Morning!!!" Blake wishes me.
The only one who did not use the Alpha tag with me. Because friends do not see where you stand. They only see if you are happy. And one such friend is Blake to me.
"Morning!! So what are we doing today?" I ask him.
He is not the beta yet. It will be a tough competition between this guy and his older brother Andrew. But I feel Andrew would do good. Blake is someone who is like Adi. He wants his soul to be free without any restrictions.
We both walk towards the pack village just to see how it is going.
"I can't believe you are an Alpha already!" He says.
"Me either" I mutter under my breath.
I mean, I knew I would become one. But now that I turn back.. I feel like I did not have enough time to explore the world like I want to.
We reach the pack village and I look around. I see everyone walking here and there. Our pack is a busy pack. I cannot deny that. Before I speak anything, a Mercedes Benz catches my attention and I instantly smile wide.
"Oh My Goodness!!!" I squeal.
"Argh! I don't want to be a third wheel" Blake whispers making me chuckle.
I can clearly identify this black beauty!! The car stops right before me and I smile wide when a girl with the most sweetest smile hops out. She looks at me and waves her hand as she walks towards me.
I see the pack members make way for her and bow to her as she walks. No one moves. Everything and everyone are absolutely frozen until she waves her hand. Only then everyone stands again.
"Riley!!!" I gasp and hug her.
Riley Freya Malloy. Twin sister of werewolf king Caleb Jude Malloy. My cousin. Damn she is so beautiful.!
"Hey my sister! How are you doing?" She asks me.
Before I answer she beats me up with, "Congratulations! You are an Alpha now!"
She is a freaking Princess but doesn't really care. Because in this male dominant world, her brother is the King. And she is .. well... A princess with no pack duties.
"Thanks.!" I whisper.
"Good news. I have found my mate" she says.
"Holy Guacamole!!" I yell in surprise.
I look around and Blake is nowhere to be seen. Whenever Riley comes, he silently leaves because he feels like he is a third wheel. I mean, I cannot really deny that fact. If there is anyone other than my family that I absolutely love to no end.. it's Riley.
Because she is someone who understands me well. My harmonal changes. My ambitions. Everything. She is twenty three and I am eighteen. But we are still best friends first and cousins next.
"What are you waiting for? Spill already! Who is it???" I almost yell.
"Somewhere private?" She asks .
I instantly nod and grab her hand. We walk to the pack clearing and once we make sure no one is around, we slowly start to walk leaving our scent hoping it would give away a clue if something out of blue happens. Just saying.
"Okay. What is it?" I ask her.
"Ummmm... I'm not sure if my dad is gonna be okay with my mate" She whispers.
Huh?
"And why is it?" I ask her.
"Because he is of different culture, Lina. I am not sure anymore. Everything about him is different" she says.
"How did you even meet him?" I ask her.
"See, he is someone who lives far far away. Where they don't have any idea of outside world. They walk out of their pack lands once a while. So their Alpha walked out because he was curious to see the first female Alpha" she says.
Oooookay.!
"And he got confused with the way and landed in my pack. We knew we were mates. But neither of us spoke. I was afraid because we are different. I am not sure what he was afraid of. I didn't see him again" she says.
I don't remember meeting an Alpha who looks different too. So maybe he left as soon as he found his mate.
"Riley! You don't know anything until you talk about it. Tell Uncle Carl about this and then come to a conclusion" I shrug.
"See. It's not that easy. He is from Africa. Deep sss forests. So deep that they have no idea of outside world. It takes forever to find their location because that is how deep the pack is at" she says.
Now I am really curious.
"Who is he?" I ask her.
"Alpha Jabari Gowon" Riley says.
"Ooooooh the name itself says a lot" I say and she nods.
I know Uncle Carl is so open minded and I really really think he would be okay with this. Riley just needs to try. After all he is her real mate! So maybe he would understand. Because one thing his grandmother and our great grandmother Mia Malloy taught us.. is never mess with matebond!
"Will see. But I really hope he'd be okay" Riley frowns.
I hug her and ensure her that it will all indeed be okay. So the first one of our generation to find their mate is Riley Malloy. Mated to Alpha Jabari Gowon. Wow!
I can't help but imagine what would I do if I find my mate who is of other culture? Will he be an Alpha? Is he a Beta? An Omega?
"Where are you?" Papa's mindlink startles me.
"Riley is here and we are having girl time, papa" I tell him.
"Come home. Right now!" He says.
I instantly panic. Riley is good at running so that is what we plan to do. We both reach pack village and hop into Riley's Mercedes. She starts driving super fast that I am at my house just in five minutes.
I run inside with Riley tailing behind me. I look at everyone and they have serious expression on their faces. What's wrong?
"Donovan Fade" Riley Malloys.
Dono who?
I then notice a man sitting on the couch. White shirt. Black trousers. His black eyes so deep. His black hair neatly combed that I want to ruin it by running my hands through it.
Ew eww ewwww since when am I a pervert!!!
"Mate!" Nora says.
The one word that somehow makes my heart pound like crazy. So me being perverted earlier makes sense somehow.
But I never really saw him. He looks like he might easily be thirty years old. I did not meet him. And how did Riley know his name?
I sniff the air and the new scent I identify is of sulphur and gun powder. I see it's his scent. Do werewolves have such scent? It is against mother nature, right? Sulphur and gun powder??
"Because he is a warlock" Nora says.
Oooh boy!
