Alpha's Unexpected Magical Mate

2 Secret Identity

Arya POV

When I get home from the interview, Collin is lying on the couch. “Your back how did it go?” It was good. I’m hopeful I’ll get the job. What did you do while I was gone? “Don’t start Arya, I have to wait for the inspiration to hit me to create, so don’t start harping now.” I want you to be able to live your dream, but I can’t be the only one contributing to our relationship. “You don’t believe in me that’s what you mean.” I never said that Collin, but I’m stressed about paying the bills. “I need to go out for a while to get out of your negative energy” he gets up putting on his coat. Fine, I have to get ready for my shift at the bar anyway. He walks out and I just don’t understand how we got here. When I met him, he had a great job and wanted to get married. Now I’m lucky if he moves off the couch when I’m home.

I head to my bedroom to put on my skimpy uniform I hate for the high-end bar I am a waitress at. If the tips weren’t so good, I wouldn’t subject myself to the rich a**holes who think they have no rules. I grab an uber, arriving at the bar at five. I meet Melissa in the back before we head to get our section assignment. Is Tracy working tonight God I hope not? “Yep, I saw her come in right before you and she is a b*tch as always.” Great I really don’t want to deal with her on top of dealing with Collin’s bullshit today. “I still don’t understand why you stay with that loser.” He isn’t a loser he just wants to love what he does for a living, and he hasn’t been discovered yet. “Well, he needs to discover a paying job instead of mooching off you Arya.” Melissa don’t say that we have been together since high school I can’t just give up on him. “Whatever you say but you can do much better.” Thank you for thinking so much of me.

When we reach the hostess station Tracy is already waiting for her assignment. “Well nice of you to join us for work tonight.” What the hell is your problem we are early? “Whatever you two just stay out of my section or we are going to have a problem.” No one is going in your section and there is no need for you to be ignorant. “You think you're so smart Arya because you went to college just remember you’re a waitress too.” I don’t even respond we get our assignment and head to our sections. Thankfully, Melissa and I are next to each other. It should make for a good night.

Trenton POV

I decide to head to my favorite bar for a drink and hopefully, to find someone to blow off steam with before I head back to the pack tonight. I pull up and the valet takes my keys. I pass him a twenty and head inside to my regular section. I take one of the big comfy seats and a cute brunette comes to wait on me. I’ll take a Glen Levitt on the rocks and make it a double. She smiles and I could definitely go there. I am looking around the bar when I get the scent of chocolate and raspberries. Ryker knock that s**t off, it won’t stop me. “Are you an asshole, do you think I have magic powers to make you smell our mate?” “If I have any say when you take one of these women home your d*ck won’t work.” You’re an a**hole Ryker. My words die in my mind when I spot a petit waitress showing a lot of skin across the room. It can’t be her goddess. Please don’t let it be her. I watch some old man in a suit put his hand on her leg and I’m about to lose my s**t. Then I see her grab his hands and twist his fingers, making me smile. With my werewolf hearing, I hear her threaten to break his fingers. She is feisty, I like that. The brunette returns with my drink and what I assume is her number. Thank you but I can’t I hand her back the paper and she sees what I’m looking at. I can see the minute she shoots daggers at Arya.

Arya POV

I hate these old men that think just because they have money, they can grope me. This isn’t the first time I have had trouble with this guy, but it’s the first time he has tried to touch me this way. I grab his hand, twisting his fingers. If you touch me again, I’ll break your fingers and then call the police, do you understand? He nods his head and I tell my manager I refuse to wait on him again. John is nice guy and asks me why. The minute I tell him the story he heads in the old ba**ard’s direction. The next thing I see is him leaving without a word. What did you say to him, I ask John? “I told him I know his wife’s number; he won’t bother you again.” Thank you, John, for having my back. “Absolutely I will make sure no creepers touch you or any of the girls.” I head back to my section to deliver drinks, but I feel like I’m being watched. I turn, my eyes meet Mr. Black and standing next to him a very pissed-off looking Tracy. What the f**k did I do to piss her off now? I turn back and just continue delivering my drinks with no further trouble.

Trenton POV

I stay for a while just watching to make sure that Arya has no more trouble from her customers. I decide to leave without finding some random girl because I need to get back to the pack. That’s what I tell myself anyway. I arrive at the pack territory line an hour later. I leave my car and shift into Ryker to let off some steam. There is no feeling like running on all fours with the wind whipping through our fur. When we reach the pack house, I shift near a tree and grab a pair of shorts to slip on. As I walk up the front steps, Jill, one of the pack sl*ts is looming near the door. “Hi Alpha, in the mood for some company tonight.” As I have told you before, I do not fraternize with pack members, so the answer is no, as it has been every time you have asked me. “You need a Luna I would love to be your mate and Luna.” You are not my mate which is the only person that will be in that role. Have a good night.

I head to my floor and link Kenneth that I have arrived. I jump into the shower and slip-on grey sweats along with a t-shirt before I meet him in my living room. “Welcome home, Alpha” he says with a smile. Don’t be an a**hole. Kenneth and I grew up together. We have been best friends since birth. Any more problems after the attack this morning? “No all patrols have reported no further rogue sightings.” Good I’m going to head to bed so we can start the interrogation early and get some training in after. “Sounds good I’ll meet you here at seven to go to the cells.” Alright have a good night. I head to bed, but sleep doesn’t come easily. All I can think about is my mate. Her petit curvy body and her raven black hair. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, and my body is craving hers.

When I wake in the morning, I head down to grab breakfast after linking Kenneth to meet me in the dining hall. Once we finish, we head down to deal with the rogues. I enter the first cell to find a rogue that must be in his twenties chained to the table by his wrists. “What the f**k do you want?” Watch how you speak to me mutt I’m the Alpha of this pack. “Is that supposed to scare me.” No what I will do to you for your disrespect should. “I’m not afraid of you.” I walk closer and partially shift exposing my claws and canines. When I get close to his face, I can see his badass demeanor change quickly. Now you were saying, “I have nothing to say to you.” I believe you do and if you don’t tell me why you attacked my pack your death is going to be very painful. The first one of you to give me what I want will be set free with a message the other two will die. He starts to sing like a canary just like I figured he would. “Our King wants your pack for his own.” Who is your King exactly? “I don’t know his real name, he calls himself the Rogue King.” You follow a man and don’t even know his name. “I heard them call him Tobias once.” Well, that is very stupid of you to follow someone who doesn’t trust you with something as simple as his name.

I turn to Kenneth, take care of the other two rogues while I give this one the message. He knows what I am doing, so he plays along. “You’re not even going to see if their information is better.” I suppose you're right we should see who gives the best information. “That’s not fair you said you would let the one go that gave you information.” Unfortunately, life’s not fair and you attacked my pack. I walk out of the cell and head to the next one. By the time were done I decide to let the third female rogue go. I know its sexist but I’m not big on killing woman even when they attack us. I tell her to make sure her King knows he will die by my hands if any of his rogue’s steps foot in my territory again. As soon as we release her, I have a tracker follow her in hopes we will get an idea where this a**hole is staying. Kenneth takes care of the other two rogues. I head upstairs to get ready to head to training.

Arya POV

I got home late last night after getting into it with Stacy about her hot customer looking at me. What the hell she wanted me to do about that I have no idea. I was exhausted when I got home and fell into bed next to Collin. He never even moved. I woke up around eleven and came out of the bedroom to find Collin sitting in his favorite spot on the couch. Where did you end up going last night? “For a walk to clear my head.” OK, I have to get dressed to head to the coffee shop for work. He waves a hand in my direction, essentially dismissing me. I can’t have this argument with him again today. I hate to think Melissa is right, but I really don’t see things getting better between us. I head out and walk the five blocks to the coffee shop. Kelly is behind the counter and has her contagious smile on. “What’s up, hot stuff?” Really, that’s how you greet me. “Absolutely somebody needs to tell you how hot you are god knows that a**hat you live with doesn’t.” Not you too Melissa already got me last night. “Well, she is right we just want you to see what your worth.” Ok thank you but let's just get to work.
