MATE TO THE INHUMAN ALPHA

chapter 2

The Alpha didn't get his eyes off Navajo, all he wants is a response to his request. But Navajo wasn't saying a word.

"You aren't saying a word… give me the sword." He ordered Nykon who stood some feet away from him.

He shook his head. "Don't even make that mistake, Leon… there's a mystery which we will get to know through him, so don't tamper with his life." The wolf in him spoke.

"What's the mystery all about? I just want to know now or I'll go ahead and destroy him." He questioned Roan, his wolf.

"Time will tell the mystery and fate will speak up. It's a secret only he knows… so if you take away his life, there's no other way to get the truth in the future." Roan explained to him.

He felt weak… baffled and haunted. That secret… That mystery is what he wants to know now. But Roan is telling him that it's a matter of time and fate.

To hell with that.

"What are you saying in Navajo?" He questioned him again. His voice roared like that of a lion.

Navajo glanced backwards to see his daughter behind staring at them.

"Elsa… go call Sephora for me. She should be here immediately." He ordered her and she left immediately.

Sephora was deep asleep when Elsa watched into her room, she hit her back all in the name of awaking her.

She was so sad to see her father send for Sephora instead of giving her out to the charming king.

Only the moon goddess can tell the amount of love she developed for the Alpha king at first sight… and that's why she didn't leave the sitting room despite his roar that should frighten her.

She longer to be his slave, so long as she will be seeing his handsome face all the time.

And there's every reason that he might fall in love with her if she flirts herself round him as a slave that she's called.

She's so jealous of Sephora, claiming she doesn't deserve such favour.

"Get your filthy body off that bed and move to the sitting room. My father is calling you." She yelled at her.

Sephora wiped her face getting on her feet, she staggered while moving to the door.

On stepping into the corridor, a sweet scent passed through her nostrils. She paused for a while, glanced around but didn't see a single soul in the corridor.

She began moving again until she perceived the same scent again.

"Our mate is here.." her wolf announced to her.

She twisted her face. "Do you think we deserve to have a mate Mia? Who will ever love us?" She spoke back to her wolf.

Mia laughed at her. "Whether we are loved or not, our mate is here. Just have it in mind." Her wolf remarked.

She nodded and stepped into the sitting room. Her eyes met his Foster father on his knees before the Alpha king.

"He is our mate…" Mia declared again.

She giggled. "I don't think you even know what you are saying Mia, do you realize he's the Alpha king, we are an omega… not even a beta or gamma." She argued with her wolf.

"Fate will never change. Can't you see how handsome and admirable he is?" Mia stated.

Sephora sniffed. "Forget about that… he isn't gonna love us once he notices our background." She commented.

Navajo looked up to the king. "This is my daughter… you can go with her." He spoke.

Her eyes narrowed while staring at her foster father. This is the first time he refers to her as a daughter… and it's before the Alpha, what does he have in mind?

Leon couldn't get his eyes off Sephora. From the doorpost leading into the sitting room he has been studying him.

Roan had announced to him that she's their mate and he had acceded to that. He can acknowledge that she's so beautiful and gorgeous too… but there's one thing about her she isn't aware of, and that's what he wants to know.

But his wolf couldn't be of help. He had asked it several times but it turned down his question.

It's not a problem. He has a mate now and wouldn't want Navajo to be aware of it until their wedding ceremony.

"You did well Navajo… now I'm leaving with her." He announced.

He glanced at the guards. "Get her, let's leave instantly." He ordered them.

They all bowed down to his command and moved to Sephora.

"Wait… don't lay your hands on me. Where the heck are you taking me to? How can you just come to my home and grab me like a slave?" Sephora yelled.

Navajo glared at her. "Leave with them…" he ordered.

"This is not your home. You're now a slave." The sentence almost popped out of Elsa's lips, but she comported herself together.

Sephora felt discriminated against.

"Let's leave with them, besides he's our mate." Her wolf calmed her down.

She breathed out through her nostrils and then took a good look at the guards.

"Don't touch me, I'll move by myself." He uttered, referring to the guards.

They tried scolding her but Leon ordered them to let her move herself.

She left the house with them and they headed to the king's palace. The house was to be called a mansion due to how enormous and beautiful it was. It has many decorations and workers around it… both male and female.

"Now tell me you're not happy to be here." Mia spoke to Sephora.

She smiled. "It's great indeed." She replied as they matched into the big building.

Sephora was given a room as ordered by the Alpha king, she was served with lots of dresses and other necessary things she might need.

While she was busy with her meal, a knock came on the door. "Come in…" she uttered.

The door was rapped open and a young lady walked in. "Welcome ma'am Sephora…" the maid greeted.

Her eyes widened. "How did you know my name?"

"The chief maid told me as the Alpha king did." She replied.

She nodded but was still staring at her. "What do you want from me?" She was so curious.

"Nothing ma'am. I am here as your personal maid. Let me know whatever you need and I'll get you that. It's my duty to take care of you and serve you… as well as being blamed for any mistake or offence you commit." The lady explained.

Sephora broke out in laughter. This lady won't kill her for any reason.

"How can you take the blame for the offense I committed? That's not impossible…" Sephora remarked.

The maid smiled at that. "But it's the truth. My name is Masha… don't forget."

She nodded. "Thank you so much, Masha." She complimented and she left her room.

******

In the evening…

The throne was surrounded by the beta's of the pack, while Leon sat on the throne.

He had summoned them for some reasons which are about the growth and development of their pack… and how they've been coping.

"The late Alpha is a monster… there's nothing good about him in this pack." One of the beta's spoke.

"But he tried his best too, so don't hide his positive part." The other replied against the first.

"He is so ruthless that he wants to take advantage of our daughters after having Luna…" another added.

"And that's why he wasn't able to have a child till death…" another exclaimed.

Leon watched as they argued and queried themselves.

"Look, they're complaining that the late Alpha is ruthless, while I'm gonna deal with them all mercilessly." The alpha's wolf muttered with a howl.

Leon comported. He is aware that he's gonna be more selfish than their previous Alpha.

"The worst is that his Luna is nowhere to be found…" one of the beta's announced.

Leon shrugged his shoulders on hearing that. He hasn't remembered Luna all this while.

"The priest made it known that she has left to the world of the unknown." Another stated.

They all adjusted to their seats.

"World of the unknown… which is?" Leon questioned the beta.

"He didn't mention the name of the world, your majesty. All he could say is that time and fate will speak." The man replied.

Leon twisted his face. "Time and fate again… what's that stuff all about for goodness sake…"

"You don't need to be worried about the disappeared Luna… it's one of the mysteries and secrets that I'm telling you about. Not even the priest can give an answer to that." The wolf in him remarked.

He nodded.

"A mating bond is gonna take place soon… I have found my mate." Leon announced the beta's.

They were all glad to hear that from their new Alpha king.

"Your majesty… can we know your mate?" The head amongst them asked, glancing at the others.

He let out a selfish smile. "She is Sephora… the daughter to Navajo."

Their eyes widened in great shock as they all shook their heads.

"What's wrong?" He asked them.

The head got on his feet. "Your majesty, I need to tell you the truth. Sephora is not the biological daughter of Navajo, and no one… not even the chief priest knows anything about her father."

Another got on his feet. "She's an Omega not a beta… despite the fact her mother is married to Navajo, no one knows her father, not even the mother knows."

Alpha Leon got on his feet in anger. "Why should my mate have all these negative characteristics?"

"Your majesty, that's because the chief priest says that there's something about her which is either negative or positive… but no one knows. She's the only Omega in Navajos family and the only wolf in this pack without a father." Another beta explained further.

Alpha felt his palm sweating out of fear, anger and curiosity. "Roan, do you know the secret about our mate? I'm looking forward to rejecting her." He questioned the wolf in him.

Roan shook his head top. "I know nothing about him except that she's our mate. But that shouldn't prompt you to reject her, everything is a mystery as I told you."

Leon was deaf ears to all his wolf uttered.

"Nykon…" he called out and he came forward.

"Your majesty…"

"Go in there and get me Sephora… I must reject her now." He ordered him.

His wolf howled so loud in him that his eyes began changing to a golden colour which frightened the beta's.

This is one thing about him which no one knows the cause of.
