Alex It's been a year. A year without seeing her or hearing her voice. I know that its my fault she left. Of course it is you took away my only chance at true happiness. Jax says with venom dripping form every word. I know. You don't need to tell me every time. I say Cutting my connection with I try to focus on my Alpha duties. With in the year that Beatrix has been gone I've officially taken over as Alpha. The pack was not better off without her. We face problems of rouges and vampires attacking and trying to claim my territory. I've asked the royal palace for help but I haven't heard anything yet. Pulled from my thoughts about the pack I hear someone knocking. Straightening myself I say "Come in." In walks my Beta Josh with Courtney hot on his tail. Before I even have a chance to ask what they want Courtney runs and jumps in m lap. "Baby when are you going to officially make me Luna?" she asks in her attempt to be seductive. Josh and I grimace at the idea of her being Luna. My father waltz's in before I have a chance to crush her dreams of ever being Luna. "Son, it's been decided you will mark and mate Courtney. The pack needs a Luna and she will be it. Now I know what your going to say but you don't have a mate and you need someone to lead beside you." "I do have a mate and I would never disrespect her by mating someone else." I bellow "But you rejected her and she accepted your not mates any more." Josh says. I throw my best glare at him making him visible gulp. "Get out. Everyone get out." I say in a deathly tone still glaring at Josh. Courtney and Josh scurry out of my office with their tails between their legs. Sighing I plop back down in my chair and rub my forehead. Noticing that my father never left he takes a seat across from me and says "I know you rejected your mate and I'm proud of you that girl was never Luna material." "What do you mean you know?" I ask looking at him bewildered "I heard about it when Courtney was talking to one of her little friends." He says waving his hand dismissively. "Please tell me mom doesn't know. She would kill me if she knew." "No she doesn't know. And if you want to keep it that way you will mate Courtney. Is that understood?" Shocked that my own father would go to the point of blackmailing me. But I simply just nod my head in agreement. "Very good, I'll tell your mother immediately and the ceremony will be planned for this weekend." He says standing fixing his suit as he prepares to leave to tell my mother the good news. Groaning I drop my head into my hands and think about how I royally f****d up. Beatrix Its been a year since I left and I couldn't be happier. I'm swiftly pulled from my thoughts as I dodge one of my trainees punches. Without warning he tries to strike again. He put no thought or planning into his moves he's just throwing punches based on instinct. "Come on Jeremiah can't you hit a little girl?" I ask taunting him. Knowing full well this will anger him. Dodging another punch followed by a kick to my right side. I'm bored of this game Bea, show him what he's doing wrong already. Ah whines in my head. I will Ash but he must first learn not to mess with me or disrespect me in front of the other men. Okay fine but can you just end this and put him on his ass? Ash asks. Gladly. I say with a evil smirk. I cut our connection and focus on the boy in front of me. Catching Jeremiah's next round of kicks he attempts to sweep my feet nut I'm too quick for him. Then he proceeds to kick for my left side catching his right leg mid swing I flash him my signature smile before I fling him over my shoulder sending him flying into the ground. Unable to handle the impact of the throw he just lays on the ground trying to catch his breath. "How? How could I not have beat you?" He says from his spot on the ground. I crouch down so I can look him in the eye and say "Because Jeremiah your not strong enough yet. You fight based off instinct and what you think your opponent will do. You must think steps ahead of them and you must read their movements. Sometimes taking a few hits or even dodging those hits is the best way to read them. When you first attacked I noticed that you favor your right side when you kick but your much stronger with your left. And when you throw a punch you pull your opposite arm into your body at the risk of being hit in the face. And you must not give into you rage it makes you sloppy, rage is a good tool when used properly but when handled recklessly it can be dangerous. " Jeremiah simply nods his head as he takes in everything I just said. When he realizes that I didn't prolong the fight to embarrass him but to teach him a lesson he raises his head and looks me in the eye. "Thank you. I'll work harder and next time I will beat you I can promise you that." Jeremiah says with determination alight in his eyes. "I surely hope so that you do." I say with a warm smile. Little flower can you come to my office? Dominic asks Of course I'll be up in a minute. I say before I cut the link. Looking back at all the men I say "Keep training the Alpha has requested my presence. "Yes ma'am" they all shout back in unison before they all go back to sparing with each other. I use some of Ash's speed to get me to Dominic's office quickly. When I'm standing outside the door I'm about to knock before the door is ripped open wide. I look and see my dad and Dominic at his desk with some other men I don't recognize. Marcus holding the door open for me. "You wanted to see me Alpha." I say in my most professional tone. "Little flower what have I told you about that?" "Not to call you Alpha." I say with a slight blush because the men are now staring at me. One man looks worn out his once clear blue eyes now look dull. His dark chocolate hair looks as if he's been running his figures through it at least every ten seconds. As if on queue he runs his hand through his hair. While the other man looks as if he doesn't have a care in the world. His green eyes that remind me of the grass after it just rain burn with mischief and amusement. While his long blonde hair falls around his shoulders in waves. Dominic noticed me studying the two strange men and clears his throat. Snapping my head in his direction I see amusement flash in his eyes before he schools his features to be serious and cold. The look I know well when he deals with his Alpha duties. "Little Flower this is Alfvin and his accomplice Brutus." he says gesturing to the men in front of me. "How do you do?" I ask politely. "They came to discuss a matter with us. It's about the vision you had last year about Victor." I look towards the men for them to say anything. "Beatrix we know you can tell we're vampires but we will not harm you. We came to help you. Victor is cruel man and an even crueler king. He subjects our people to battles that he knows we can not win. He forces the women of our kind to be in his harem even if they have mates. He's coming for you, he wants you to bare his children so that he can have to most powerful offspring. I have known Victor since we were children. We fought along side each other we pillaged villages together. I know he will not stop till he has you or he dies. He has already claimed you as Queen of the Vampires. This means you can guide us and tell us what we must do. Our people will lay down our lives for you if it means we are rid of him and are free." When he finishes his speech he gets up and kneels before me with his hand over his heart. "Wait! Wait, I cant be queen of vampires. I'm not a vampire and how could he claim me as queen with out marking me?" I ask bewildered by this news. "Our people do not mark like you wolves mark. You bite into the neck while we only need to ingest each others blood. You have not ingested his but he has ingested yours." He says looking up at me from his position in front of me. "If you never ingest his blood then the bond will never be completed." says the other man. "So what if I'm marked by my mate before I ingest his blood?" I cringe at the thought of ingesting someone else's blood. "Then it will have no effect. A true mate marking and bond can never be broken." James speaks up. "So all I have to do is get my mate tp mark me and then no problem right?" I ask looking at my dad. He looks away and Dominic speaks up "Yes, Little flower but we don't know who your mate is your first mate rejected you. And you said that their was another man that was your mate. No matter how many time you went back and tried to see his face you couldn't so there's no way to know who he is." "But there is still a chance I could find him and get this Victor guy to leave me alone right?" I ask with sadness clouding my voice. "Of course there is my darling." James says as he pull me into his arms. Alfvin stands and bows to Dominic and me before he says "It's time I go Victor will be wondering where we have run off to. I will see you again soon my queen." Alfvin and the other man leave the office leaving me and the others to process everything that just occurred. "Oh one other thing Little flower my son Xander will be coming home this weekend." He says smiling knowing he's just trying to distract me even if it's for just a little while. "Yes, Dominic. I'm tired I'm going to go lay down." I say pulling my self from my fathers embrace. I stand to leave, giving my father a kiss on the cheek before I go I head towards my room drained from all the information I was just give. When I reach my room I don't even bother stripping off my training attire and just flop down on the bed and slowly drift off into yet another dream about my mystery mate.
