Alpha Lucian

Chapter 1

Estina's POV

Life can be pretty cool when you are with a fated mate who loves you for you, but most especially one you have learnt to love and wish for, for years. Same thing occurs to me recently, as I've found my mate on my eighteenth birthday. I dreamt of him but I never believed he would be mine today. 

I grew up in the pack house of the New York Freedom Pack where my parents worked for the Alpha and Luna of our pack, the New York Freedom Pack until they were retired after forty years of servitude, paid their allowances and went to live in our hometown. This occurred seven years ago when I was eleven, it was at this age, I took up from them and began my own period of servitude in exchange for my education, clothing, feeding and accommodation. I received these from the Alpha and Luna as payment, so I wasn't paid in cash. 

Though I was regarded as a slave, nominally, being an Omega, I was good friends with Lucian, the son of the Alpha and Luna, their only child. We were best of friends starting from a younger age. I saw him as my future husband, we grew steadily together, attending the same basic school and high school, playing and eating together. I know this was an abnormal friendship, an Alpha boy and an Omega girl but I got surprised that his parents never opposed for once, perhaps because I was always obedient, respectful and diligent in my duty. 

This friendship continued until in our third year in high school when a transfer student came to our school and suddenly began taking keen interest on Lucian. From sitting beside him, she graduated to taking my space, soon it became known to me that she had become his girlfriend after Lucian asked her out. I felt betrayed, tried to take Lucian back from the girl who snatched him away from me, only if I knew that this would be a whole new undesirable beginning for me. 

Aveira fought her way into his family, soon the Alpha and Luna began taking interest on her too, in fact the entire family. They referred to her as the daughter of the house and even invited her to leave the dormitory and come live with them. Here, my agony began. Lucian's parents started seeing the wrong in everything I did, I began to be humiliated by the very Lucian who had so much loved me in the past, it was totally unbelievable that things could change within a short period of time. 

Not talking of Aveira herself, she became my greatest bully in the pack house, always lying against me. This extended to school, even after we graduated from high school and got admitted into college. Despite all these, my heart never parted from Lucian which made me believe he is destined to be my mate. I had been crushing on him since then. 

It's just unbelievable that my wish has become reality today. Totally unbelievable. 

Lucian, the wealthiest and most handsome guy in the department, my prince charming and crush is my mate. What a miracle! I had dressed up perfectly since today is my eighteenth birthday, the day most girls who are single like me find their mates. I didn't expect mine to be different, that's why I really prepared for it. 

Early in the morning, I woke up with a great enthusiasm and that enthusiasm was revealed in the way I did things. I made sure I had a very strong scented flavor in my body wash, the perf and body spray I applied were unthinkable, scents which are designed to last for twenty-four hours. 

No wonder when I walked into class today, everyone turned their eyes to me. I had been someone no one dared to look at. Though I'm beautiful, it's disguised under my poor appearance. No one wants to mingle with someone who is poor. Due to my condition, I always dress in worn-out, sometimes patched clothes but today is quite different. 

I used my savings to purchase myself a yellow crop top which reveals my tummy, a pair of designer popstar trousers and black designer sneakers. Everything cost three hundred dollars, a huge amount for a girl of my status. I did this to attack good luck, to attract my mate. My efforts aren't in vains as my wolf has identified the only guy whom she is fated to. 

As I walked through the door with all eyes on me, I felt a strong but strange scent overtake the one I carry. I haven't felt this scent before because only mates can scent that of their counterparts. A few seconds later, she screamed right inside me. 

Mate! Mate! Mate! 

"What a f**k!" I scream in surprise as my spiritual sense directs me to Lucian Grey, seated seven rows from the first row where I stay. If someone had told me I would be fated to a charming billionaire prince like him, I wouldn't believe it. Lucian is a guy most girls are ready to die for, he is f*****g handsome, bastardly rich though his lineage identity is not revealed. I don't care about this either, all I wanted was him. He must be an Alpha under disguise as no one knows his true pack identity. 

"Yeah, we've made it but I hope we will cope with a singer like him!" My wolf, who has become so excited, exclaims. I giggle. He's not only a singer but a bestseller author from news gathered, this skyrockets him into the billionaire gang. 

"Hey mate!" I smile, waving and taking myself to his seat where he is staring right at my direction on me, his eyes charming blue, dreamy and flirty looking at me makes me want to strip myself and walk naked before him. 

He parts his lips to say something when the door opens and the course lecturer walks in. A grunt escapes my throat, my expectation hanging aloof with no hope of revival. This is the first time I have the perfect privilege to go and see him. He has always been aloof and knowledgeable of girls like him. I simply don't exist in his eyes. Now that the unexpected was to occur, the unexpected in a different dimension occurred which is the course lecturer of Civil Engineering Practice walking in. Worst is that his class is three hours long and it's our last class for the day. After this, most students are mostly expected to go home as always. 

"Settle down class, we've got a special topic to treat today!" Saying this, he brings out his long notes, hardcover, and starts to scan through it. This takes about ten minutes, then my mind returns to Lucian, I steal flirty glances at him. On his face, it is supposed to be happiness but I find nothing but an expression of shock. My wolf tells me that. Being a dreamy-eyed guy, no one knows when he is angry or downcast except he shows it by his speech and actions. 

Lucian notices the way I look at him and the frequency, even while the lecturer is taking us on the class. He pulls off a sheet of paper, scribbles something on it and passes down to me, urging the guys on the lines of row to help me. When the letter reaches me, my hormones jump up, causing a sudden increase in my heart beat. I can't wait to see what's written on it. Then finally I unfold the paper and open it. 

"Can you go online now, want to chat with you?" I raise my head to look at him and he nods. Lucian is driving me crazy, he hasn't reciprocated any of my feeling of crush which I had for him, yet today he is the one asking me to come online so we can talk. 

Readily, I log in to my w******p account and send 'hi' to his account. No one would be able to wait if they were in the same situation as me. 

He logs in a few seconds after me, the typing notification shows up, I hold my heart in my hands, crossing my fingers and praying it's gonna be the best conversation of my life. Lucian chatting with you is exactly like a governor's son talking to you, any girl who has encountered this privilege always has a life-long tale to tell. He is a celebrity among us. 

"We are mates, right? Sure." 

My eyes roam back to him and his lips part slightly, into a not-too obvious grin, a grin you wouldn't easily notice except you take a closer and more steady look at him.

"Yes, we are mates." I hastily typed and hit the send button delivering it to him. 

"So since this is the last class for the day, can we meet before everyone in front. We need to see and speak with each other." He adds a disturbed emoji, then he talks of us being where everyone can see us. My heart starts to get anxious, if this is what he think, then why does he add a disturbed emoji, which seems mocking at the same time. 

After the class, he walks abruptly to the podium where our lecturer is teaching from. He waves his hand to the crowd of packing students, they nearly snub him but when they look at who is talking, they all surrender. The hall becomes so quiet, everyone with expectant ears. 

"Hello guys and ladies, I would love to call Estina Nicole to come on this podium!" A stern face accompanies, fear starts to grip me at his expression. "Listen to all I have to say, thanks."
