ALEC.
Wow.
Just wow.
She is effortlessly blunt.
She is also effortlessly beautiful.
Her dark hair, pale skin, dark brown eyes... such an unusual combination for someone so pale. But someone who is as extraordinary as her, would look this way.
This beautiful.
I saw her take down the guard outside. In less than 30 seconds. That takes some skill.
My wolf, Gage, is as utterly obsessed with her as I am.
'Gage, can you reach her wolf?'
'I can. She is called Lily. She said that her snd Amelia don't want to speak to you because you didn't deny that Mia was your mate so because of that, we are the only alpha male to be rejected. So well done Alec.'
Walking into the dinner hall, our pack sat at different tables, mingling with each other. I smiled with pride.
This is my pack. My family.
We are very different to the Dale Monarchy. We know every pack member by name here. Everybody eats with everybody for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are no excuses.
There are no signs of the Protectors yet, I sighed as I really don't know how I'm going ro get out of this.
How am I supposed to prove to someone that I am completely theirs if they've already set it in their mind that they don't want me.
"Where is the guest of honour?" Evan laughed. "She will be great! She doesn't like you at all!" he laughed and I rolled my eyes. "To be honest dude, she is my type."
"Back off!" I slammed my fist on the table earning gasps from aeound the hall.
My eyes shone gold as I glared at Evan. Gage, is threatening to come out, wanting to strangle Evan but I know he doesn't know.
"Wait- Don't tell me..." his eyes narrowed before he burst out laughing.
I clenched my fist, my teeth gritting together while Mia turned to Evan, her eyes wide as she waited for an answer.
"What? What's going on?"
"Amelia, his guard- she is his mate." Evan laughed and I shook my head at him.
Gasps followed by silence filled the hall as now my entire pack knows that my mate doesn't want me. I'm met with looks of sympathy and confusion.
Great.
As if on cue, the smell of caramel fills my nose and I take in the deepest breath.
Amelia strolled in, flanked by Lyle and Arianna. She reluctantly took a seat next to me, Arianna sat beside my mum while Lyle sat opposite Evan.
"Apologies my King and Queen, Amelia ran over with her training."
"Oh its no bother." my dad smiled. "A strong Luna makes fantastic Luna." he winked at Amelia who didn't bat an eyelid.
Leaning over, I know my movements caught her off guard. Her jaw clenched while she faced me, her brown eyes not changing, showing her control of her wolf.
"You smell, divine." I whispered in her ear, I witnessed her small shiver but she made no effort to respond, instead, she turned to Evan and pointed her finger.
"You."
"Me?" he smirked and she nodded.
Jealousy overtook me and I glared at Evan who rolled his eyes.
"Mimi, can I call you that?"
"You may." she smiled at Evan who grinned.
"Can I show you around the pack later? I'm this idiots Beta." Evan smiled before winking at me.
"Sure." she shrugged.
I watched her as she politely accepted a steak from one of the chefs, she bowed her head my eyes widened as I shook my head.
Did I just see that?
"Oh Luna," the chef blushed making my mate chuckle before she gently took the salad bowl.
My eyes followed her every move. From how her fingertips locked around the bowl, to how she gently dodged the tomatoes and took the red peppers instead.
"Here," I picked up a slice of lemon and held it over her plate.
"I'm fine, thank you." she moved her plate but my hand followed.
"Trust me, try the lemon with the salad."
"Your Highness, I really don't want to." She pressed but I squeezed it over her plate anyway, the fresh lemon juice dripped around her plate and I smiled while she shoved her plate away from her.
Lyle looked at me as if I am stupid, Arianna with disbelief while my parents shook their heads.
"Erm, Your Highnesses, I'm going to take my leave. I will eat tommorow morning." She waited for permission from my parents who frowned.
"Amelia sweetheart, I'll have another plate brought out for you." my mum panicked.
"No, its okay. Thank you though." she smiled as she stood up and walked away from the table, she gave both of my parents a subtle bow before leaving the hall causing pack members to start talking.
The adults and Lyle stared at me in disbelief, Lyle clicked his tongue, almost finding it amusing.
"What?" I asked and Arianna sighed.
"Amelia is allergic to citrus." she spoke softly.
"Why didn't she say?" I asked, confused as to why she never mentioned it.
"She told you twice, that she didn't want Lemon yet you still poured it on her dinner." Lyle spat. "The two no's should have been enough."
Standing up, I removed myself from the table and followed her scent, its lead me straight up to the visitors floor, the second room on the right.
I knocked on but had no response. After another fifteen minutes, I'm still stood like a beggar outside her door.
"Go away Alec." she yelled and I sighed as hee voice sounded bored.
She really is a tough nut to crack.
"Amelia please!" I shouted. "I need to talk to you."
"It's fine Alec. Go and be with Mia. Thats what you do anyway right?"
"You've misunderstood-"
"Go away before I do something I won't regret!"
Great.
She fucking hates me.
