Alpha’s Mate

Chapter 2

*King Elliot’s POV*

As we walked into alpha Brandon’s home office I started to wonder why his pack doesn’t think his daughter is capable enough to become the new alpha of the pack.

“You wish to speak my lord?” Brandon says to me.

“Yes it’s about what Eloise said to you about your pack and then thinking she’s not capable to become the new alpha or will listen to her!” I say to him with a questionable tone on my voice.

“Yes the pack wasn’t to happy when she was born cause it resorted to my wife not be able to carry anymore children without being a risky pregnancy again..” he says and I just looked at him.

“Was Eloise a risky pregnancy?” I ask.

“Yes we nearly lost both her and her mother.” He says trying to hold back tears in his eyes.

“I will send my men here to watch over your pack for in case of emergencies that way your daughter and pack will be safe until you and your Luna return, and I will also be sending some of my men along with you cause the black root pack is also on my territory and any attacks on my territory is my fight to.” I say to him as i watch his eyes widened.

“Thank you my lord we appreciate your gradation to support and protect our pack.” Brandon says as he got on one knee towards me.

“I believe it’s time we head to the meeting alpha Brandon. I think it’s time you get your pack under control about who the next alpha will be..” I tell him as he stands back up on his feet.

Brandon’s nods and opens his office door and jesters for me to walk out first.

*Brandon’s POV*

We walk down the hall towards the living room where I see my wife and daughter sitting on the couch.

“We should start heading to the center of the village for the meeting.” I tell my family as they nod and follow behind King Elliot and I outside.

We walk a short distance and once we get to the center of the village I can see the whole pack there and a few men who I believe are King Elliot’s men.

As we all walk to the front of the crowd my beta Alex joins us standing the right of my wife while my daughter is to left of her and King Elliot is next to Eloise.

“Lady’s and gentlemen, I want to first say thank you for being here as you all know it’s extremely important for everyone to be here.” I start off saying to the pack.

“The first thing I want to start this meeting off by saying the Black Root pack is calling the neighboring packs for help with the recent attacks that has been happening.” The crowd gasps when I say attacks.

“I’ve agreed to help our neighboring pack in fighting along side with them and my wife will get everyone ready for those who wish to fight with us. Now I have heard we have some members in our pack who does not like my choice in alpha after I step down! I want for those members to head to the pack house after the meeting so we can have a little chat about you not liking my decisions. My DAUGHTER Eloise WILL be leading our pack while we are away and WILL BECOME OUR NEXT ALPHA after I return.” I make clear to those few members who quickly get mad about hearing she will become our next alpha.

“Now, King Elliot has agreed to help fight and was generous enough to send some of his men here to watch over the members who stay.” Everyone bows to King Elliot and thanks him for is generosity.

He lifts his hand up to everyone jestering it was no issue.

“Now, I believe my daughter Eloise has a few words to say before we end the meeting.” I say as I hear her quietly gasps.

*Eloise’s POV*

When I heard my dad say I have a few words to say I got nervous.

I step forward to stand beside my dad as he looks at me and nods letting me know it’s okay.

“I know there are some who are not pleased that I will become the next alpha but I will try my hardest to become the best alpha I can be. I know I am still young and some believe I am not capable of being your alpha and that’s fine cause for those who have a problem with my dads choice in making me his ONLY child alpha you will not join them in fighting.” I say as a few members quick start yelling.

“ YOU ARE NOT OUR ALPHA YOU CAN’T MAKE DECISIONS LIKE THAT!!!” One male yelled from the crowd.

“ENOUGH!!!” King Elliot yelled and everyone quickly becomes quiet.

“Never in my life have I ever came across the most disrespectful pack members EVER!” King Elliot steps next me and I can feel his anger “You dear to disagree with the decision your ALPHA made!” No one says anything for a short second until someone in crowd yells out “WE DON’T NEED A FEMALE FOR A LEADER. SHE’S WEAK AND HAS NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO BE ALPHA!”

At that moment I thought King Elliot was going to rip the guys throat out but instead my dad was on top of the guy holding him down by his throat with nothing but anger in his eyes.

I try to go towards him but King Elliot puts his arm out in front of me and then whispered “Don’t! stand your ground, your dad also has to make it clear he is the alpha and what he chooses the pack must go. I know it’s scary to see him like this but they must learn.”

I look up at him and he has a blank face looking at my dad until he turns and looks at me.

“I know you will do what’s best for your pack. And while we are gone I will have my beta’s son stay her with you and help you when you need it.” He says and then smiles at me.

“Thank you my lord!” I bow to him holding back tears at his words.

He pats my head with a soft laugh as I look back at him with a smile on my face thinking ‘he believes in me..a lycan believes I can be the best alpha I can be..and not just any lycan but the KING of the lycans!’

“I believe he got the point dear!” My mom yelled to my dad.

He lets the guy up and mumbled something to him before joining us back up front.

“Please, continue with what you was saying Eloise.” King Elliot says to me.

I nod at him and turn back to the crowd of angry pack members.

“Now before I was rudely interrupted..ANYONE who does not like the idea that I will become your next alpha you will stay here and not join my parents and King Elliot in fighting. And I can make decisions like this as I will be alpha while my parents are gone.” I say as I looked around the crowd.

“ Rafael!” King Elliot says towards one of his men as a tall light haired man stepped forward and bowed on knee to him with his right hand on his heart.

“Yes my lord?” The man said.

“Rafael I would like for you to stay here with Ms. Eloise and help her with anything she needs help with. Please?” Elliot tells the man.

“As you wish my lord.” The man stands and bows towards me “I’m Rafael my lady it’s a pleasure to meet you.” He says me.

“I’m Eloise, it’s a pleasure to meet you as well.” I nod and smile at him.

My dad walks up and stands next to me.

“Now for those who wish to join in the fight please stay back and my wife will explain everything to you. Now for those members who are not happy with my daughter becoming your alpha report to the pack house IMMEDIATELY!!!” My dad said.

Once the meeting ended those who wasn’t happy about the fact I will be the next alpha followed my dad to the pack house while those who wish to help fight stayed behind.

I stayed behind being to scared to follow my dad to the pack house after watching him nearly rip a mans throat out for just saying I’m weak and don’t know what it takes to be alpha but I mean its true I don’t have a clue about being a alpha.

“Eloise!!!” I hear someone yell as I look up to see Blake coming towards me.

“Blake?” I say as he gets to me.

“Girl, the look in your dad’s eyes..i nearly prepared myself to see blood all over the ground.” Blake says.

“I know i wanted to go stop him but King Elliot stopped me..” I tell him as his eyes widen.

“He stopped you? Like told you no?” He says just starting at me.

“He put his arm in front of me and told me to stand my ground and that my dad has to show them he is the alpha and his decisions go.” I tell him looking down at my hands not knowing what’s about to happen when they leave tomorrow afternoon.

“I mean King Elliot is right.. you need to stand your ground and prove that your meant to become our First female alpha!” He says laughing and poking me playfully.

“Stop poking me!” I say laughing.

“Eloise?” King Elliot says to me.

“Huh!” I say as I jumped out of fear “oh King Elliot! I’m so sorry for speaking like that towards you please forgive me!” I say as I bow to him praying he forgive me for the way I spoke to him.

“Your okay, I apologize for scaring you.” He says “I just wanted to talk to you for a second if that’s alright with you?”

“Oh yes of course!” I say to him “Um..I’ll text you later before your date with Louis.” I say to Blake as he nods and then walks away waving bye.

“Is there anything I can help you with my lord?” I ask along Elliot.

“I was hoping we could go for a walk and talk for a minute.” He says.

“Oh yes, anything for you my lord.” I smile at him.

We walked for what felt like hours just talking and getting to know one another just having a good time.

“Wait, so Rafael actually did that!” I say laughing.

“Yeah his 16th birthday he shifted for the first time and freaked out and destroyed the whole left wing in seconds” he tells me laughing with me.

“Wow that’s crazy, I knew lycans was strong but I never thought they would that strong.” I say to him looking down at the ground smiling before I looked back up to him.

“There’s a lot people don’t know about us..but Eloise I wanted to go for a walk so I can ask you something..” he say before stopping by a big oak tree in the middle of the meadow I didn’t even realize we was in until he stopped.

“What is it my lord?” I look at him wondering what it could he wants to ask me.

“Please call me Elliot. And I was wanting to ask if you wanted to go to get breakfast with me tomorrow morning before my men and I head out before your parents and the rest of the pack.

I pause looking at him in shock.

‘Oh..my..fucking..god!!!’ I think to myself.

“I would love to, Elliot” I say to him smiling.

“I’ll pick you up at 8 then.” He smiles.

We decided to stay out a little bit longer to get to know each better and to just hang out and honestly it was pretty amazing.

Elliot was so sweet and I’m lucky he even asked me to go to breakfast with him for my 18th birthday.

It was almost midnight when we walked into my house and I was happy.

“WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!!!!!” My dad yells at me.

“With me!” Elliot walks in and tells my dad as I just stand there wondering why it was big deal with me being out so late.

“I’m sorry my lord but Eloise knows she’s not allowed to stay out past 11.” My dad says as my mom walks in the room.

“She’s fine dear she was with King Elliot not a random teenage boy, she was fine” my mom tells him.

“SHE KNOWS THE RULES!!!” My dad yells to my mom.

“DO NOT YELL AT HER!” I tell my dad

*Brandon’s POV*

I watched as my own daughter has the courage to stand up to me.

“Eloise stay out of it! NOW!” I say to her.

“I will not. She is my mother and no one will disrespect her like that.” She says as I see what she is doing.

“Why act tough when King Elliot is here but not when it’s just us?” I laugh at her.

“I’m not! You act like it’s okay for you to yell at her!” She says

King Elliot laughs.

“Well, Happy 18th birthday Eloise!” He says laughing.

We all look over at the clock and it’s midnight.

My only child is now 18.

A wave of sadness rolls over me and I began to tear up but quickly stop it.

“Happy birthday Eloise..” I say as I hug her.

“My baby is finally 18 and she’ll soon find her mate” my wife says.

We all put what just happened behind us and sit down for dinner and enjoy the rest of the night before heading to bed to enjoy the rest of the time we have with Eloise before we head out tomorrow afternoon.
