TRIGGER WARNING: Read at your own discretion.
*Sebastian's POV*
I was as excited as everyone else about the ball tonight, everything was in order, and the decorations and the food were just excellent as I expected them to be, even though that weak girl prepared everything, I knew she could pull it off. She is just like her mother, strong and resilient, but stupid, and thought she could betray me for my weak brother. I'm sure they didn't expect to die like that. Cedric is too stupid. How could he not know that I planned our parents' deaths or his own for that matter? I can accept that nobody knew, but even if they did, what's the use? They are already dead anyway.
Tonight will mark my first time with Mirabel. She might be the daughter of the woman I once loved, but I can't ignore the attraction I feel toward her anymore. Besides, she’s all grown up now, at twenty-one, and very eye-catching. Having curves in all the right places, although she isn’t as beautiful as her mother, I’ll take consolation in knowing that she is her child, a part of Marie, and having a little fun with her will be like claiming what was rightfully mine from the beginning. I don't think those males would keep away for much longer and the last thing I want is to see someone else claim her right under my nose.
I might have allowed everyone in the pack-house to walk all over her, making her a maid so I could keep a close watch on her, and if any of the children felt like beating somebody up, I gladly pointed them towards Mira. I even arranged for one of the pack’s slackers with strict warnings to watch her every move and report everything back to me. I do not want her to try to pull a fast one and I definitely wouldn’t allow a part of Marie to get snatched away from under me a second time.
On the night of her parent's death, a lot of their loyal followers died with them. Now not many people cared about who she was anymore. Those that knew were too timid to say anything. I must admit that there were others who were just curious about her. I doubt if they remembered who she was now after so long. She's so easy to bully, and although she was an alpha born, she doesn’t have a wolf, which made things easier for me. I was worried for a while about the kind of wolf she would likely possess since her mother was a warrior, but after her eighteenth birthday, I thought maybe she was just like me and would probably get her wolf at nineteen, but then her nineteenth birthday passed, and nothing. I knew right then that she was worthless and would only ever be good at warming my bed, starting tonight.
If one of my kids has a bad day, they only need to find and beat her until they feel better. Sometimes they just do whatever they wanted, getting creative each time, it doesn't matter. I'd say all of those were her training processes. She needs to know and remember who owns her. She would never be able to reject my advances when the time came.
Today will be our first time together and I plan to enjoy every minute of it. If she's any good, I'll keep her for a couple more years or till I get bored. It would be a shame to let her die just like that without having a taste of her, not after watching her grow and transform into the voluptuous young woman that she is now. I could have had my way with her a long time ago and it’s not like I haven’t tried, a couple of times, but somehow I don’t get to carry out the deed, now that I think about it, it kind of seems strange that every time I wanted to go to her, something always manages to come up at the last minute to stop me, deflating my hard c**k. Call it luck or something, but she always somehow manages to slip through my fingers, every time.
Tonight will be different because I will make sure I don't get any kind of distraction. She can never be so lucky every time. Besides, I have made arrangements of my own. After I caught a glimpse of her naked back two days ago, although it was brief, the sight had left me salivating for more, and I couldn’t stop dreaming about burying my c**k deep down her tight cunt. I knew I had to do something fast. I had waited for far too long. All I had to do was get the ball started and give a random speech. Once everything is out of the way, I'll go to her. She’s overripe for s*x, so I am not doing anything bad. I know she’s not as innocent as she pretends to be. I have caught Reid pinching her breast a couple of times too.
If it wasn't for this stupid ball and the fact that I needed to be there to attend to all the alphas, I would be having the time of my life right now. I had dreamt so much of how tonight was going to end. Thinking about what I’d do with that girl later makes me hard again and I knew I needed to hurry things up. The hardness of my c**k and excitement bubbled in my mind as I made to climb the podium.
First things first, I need to introduce myself to the guests, if they don't already know who I am. Even though I caused the m******e of the previous Alpha family and all the stronger families in my pack, no one said or did anything about it. When I became the new alpha, they just accepted me like that, no questions asked, none answered. So what if I decide to take my brother's daughter as my mistress? It's none of their business, it wouldn't matter to anyone so long as she wasn't related to any of them. They are just as selfish and greedy as the next alpha.
I believe today will be the beginning of many happy nights for me. I was so excited to give my speech and welcome the new packs into the alliance when Steve mind-linked me, "Alpha, there's a problem, a large van is headed this way, it has the Howling Moon Pack emblem on it. What should we do?". This new information made my blood run cold. I haven't done anything to pique his interest lately and I sure as hell didn't invite him, so why is he coming here? He had never attended a ball before because no one would invite him. What does he want with my pack? This can't be good. What does he want from us? I have many questions and yet no answers. As I was gripped with fear, my wolf, who was never in agreement with anything I did, suddenly spoke up 'Why not let him in? It's not like you can stop him from coming anyway, he would just kill these people and claim our land. It is better to welcome him warmly. With any luck, he might just be passing through here.''He doesn't scare me. If he wants war, then war he shall have,' I replied, with a confidence I didn't feel. A cold shiver ran down my spine. One thing was certain, with the help of all those present, we could actually defeat Aleric if we worked together, with or without my wolf's help.
'I guess we will never know' he said, and went silent again. I looked around the event area again, trying to decide who the strongest Alpha was and the best strategy to use in persuading that bloodthirsty alpha to leave as quickly as possible, how best to protect the younger ones against this cruel uninvited guest all left a bitter taste in my mouth. Alpha Jacobson, I noted. He's a strong alpha, and I can trust his judgment too. I see his wife, Luna Rebecca, also a good warrior. There's Alpha Ezekiel and Alpha Roberts. They are also strong alphas. Combined with my powers, I think we should be able to take down the ruthless alpha or subdue him at least. We outnumbered him already by hundreds. Steve just said he was bringing one van, so there couldn’t be that many wolves inside. I don't believe he could take us all down no matter how strong and powerful they say he is. My chest rose with pride, knowing with any luck, my pack would be known as the pack that took down the notorious alpha. Today we will find out just how strong that little boy is. I smiled, feeling confident. I told Steve to stand down and let him through, mounting the podium to welcome the guests, and hinting to them of the impending danger to allow them gather their best warriors and prepare to fight. There’s no time to lose.
I don't believe Aleric would pass through here unscathed if he wanted trouble, besides we have stashes of wolfsbane plants I've been cultivating for occasions like this one. My wolf was too cowardly and wouldn’t even show slight excitement. All we could do now is wait and pretend to welcome him with open arms and when he thinks he owns the place, we strike and attack from behind. Today Aleric will die here. This will make others respect me even more. The purpose of forming alliances is to be able to stand against threats like this.
"Respectable Alphas, Lunas, and warriors I welcome you all to our annual get-together", I began. There was resounding applause after the applause died down. I continued, "Today's event will be slightly different from the previous year because not only are we going to renew our alliances, new bonds will be formed and mates will meet" I stopped briefly as there were cheers of excitement. “But sadly we might have to postpone this wonderful merriment a little because I just got reports that the Howling Moon pack van is headed our way," I said gloomily, looking around, this time there was no applause, and all the excitement was gone from their faces, gasps of shock and look of despair were now on the radiant faces of the wolves present. I could virtually see some of them making a break for it, others were showing fake bravado while also preparing to leave the area immediately. I see families beginning to look for their pups, as everyone begins moving helter-skelter. I needed them to know about the impending danger and I needed their men, if we were going to survive Aleric’s invasion. So before they could move about too carelessly. I screamed into the microphone "The reason for our alliance is to come together and eliminate a common threat and right now I think we might have gotten into a situation," I paused again to see that the panicking wolves calmed down a little to listen to what I had to say. From their faces, I think they knew I was making a point. "This is the time to put ourselves to the test. We might not be able to escape from Aleric, but at least we can try and fight back to defend ourselves. Together we are stronger, and together we can defeat him once and for all. This will stop him from always getting away with his heinous deeds". I stopped looking around to find that I had their undivided attention, great they were listening to me, while a few others were looking for an escape route. I smiled, they don't have any choice anyway, it's either they come together to kill Aleric or they get killed by him. "I need all the Alphas and the best warriors to gather around and discuss how we are going to tackle him. The weak members can stay behind or go to the pack’s safe house. A few of our warriors will guide and protect them until we know for sure what he wants or why he's here. I advise that we don’t act rashly”, I finished and stepped down from the podium and moved to the entrance of the hallway. Others joined me, and we started to discuss how we were going to defeat the tyrant as we awaited his arrival.
