CHAPTER 4
1243 Words
Alpha Jerald held a glass of wine in his hand and swirled it around, as he sat on his white sofa and watched the fireplace.
"What was I thinking, inviting those…those.." he began with himself before he heard the doors open and watched his Beta walk in.
He seemed to be more dressed and excited.
"The party has started" He heard him say
"So?" he asked, uninterested.
He took another sip of the wine and continued swirling it.
"Your presence is needed Alpha, it is of course, your birthday."
"Why? So I could mingle with those lowly commoners? How did you convince me of such a thing Garrett? I can smell the lowly lives from here. It's driving me insane!" he said, gulping the rest of the drink and smashing the glass.
"I thought it would be a wonderful thing to invite the commoners here to celebrate with you. They are of course your people"
"I am unpleased Garrett, send them out"
"Alpha, please take a look at the gathered crowd, you will be amazed"
"The only amazement to feel right now is if I could breathe properly again! Send them out!"
"Yes Alpha" he watched him bow his head and turned around to leave.
But the moment Garrett opened the doors again, something strong hit him so hard he thought he would fall.
"Wait!" The Alpha shouted and got up, following this particular scent that had invaded his nostrils.
"Yes Alpha"
Garrett answered and the Alpha walked past him.
"I can handle sending them away, you don't have to…"
Garrett began but was cut short
"Shut up! I need to concentrate"
Jerald walked into the gallery where he could see everyone and everything.
He stood up there and searched the crowd, trying to follow this scent.
And finally, he spotted her.
In the crowd, a beautiful girl in a green gown and… he needed to see her face.
She seemed so distracted by what surrounded her.
He watched her touch the walls and table fabric where the foods were placed.
She smelt like rain and something sweet like candy.
"But there's something else she smelt like, something wrong." So he thought…
He watched as someone else in blue with red hair walked up to her, they took a piece of cake and shared it together while laughing.
"She is beautiful, dressed in an elegant dress, but I doubt she's from wealth." Jerald whispered to himself
"Is she the one?" His Beta asked
"I think so? Who is she?" Jerald asked, still trying to get a glance at her face.
"I have no idea, but I will find out." Garrett answered and was about to leave, but was stopped.
"Hold on! I doubt she's an Alpha, else she would have felt me by now, standing here is enough for her to notice me. That's one strike.
If she's no Luna of some pack, then she's not my type.
Maybe a Beta? That I could endure.
Announce my presence, I will find out myself." Jerald said and walked away.
He went back to his chambers to dress more appropriately.
He needed to show these commoners who their Alpha is and perhaps impress his mate.
He clads himself in white, that is contrast to his combed down, shoulder length dark hair and a blue coat.
Taking his hand staff, he went down once he was ready. And after the guards announced his presence, the doors opened and he walked in.
He would have died from the stench he was perceiving if It wasn't for the scent of rain and candy.
He watched as everyone bowed, but his eyes searched the crowd for her.
Soon the music started again and he could spot her with this other guy, but she seems to be looking for something or someone.
He smiled
"Now you feel it?" he said to himself
He hadn't seen her face yet, but he really did enjoy her search for whatever she might be looking for.
He wouldn't move till she finds it.
Soon her head turns and he stares at her face, she's indeed beautiful! He thought
Hazel but confused eyes with long lashes, pink plump lips, her brown hair that's tied up into a bun but looks long.
"She's perfect" he said to himself
Soon their eyes lock and she looks dead at him, shocked!
It seems realization had hit her, and it hit her hard!
He could feel his beast itching at the back of his head to grab her and claim her.
He stared at the man she still held onto in an attempt to dance.
And it seems she followed his line of sight and quickly let go of him after whispering something to him.
The young man looked confused and turned around to stare at Jerald.
"Just how close were these two? Not married I hope." He wondered
He took steady steps to where she stood, and could hear her loud beating heart, even with the loud music.
She was shaking a little too, why?
He got closer to her, and it seemed she had stopped breathing.
The young man of course took a few steps back, he wouldn't dare!
"Would you like to have the first dance with me?" Jerald asked with his hands outstretched
It took some time for the words to sink in, as she answered seconds later
"Ye..y..yess" he heard her say and he smiled
He took her hands and led her to the dance floor
"Breathe" He whispered in her ears
He hears her take a deep breath and out.
They swayed on the dance floor and although he noticed some mistakes in the way she danced, he blamed it on her nervousness.
The crowd stared at them in awe, but he didn't care about their looks.
"What's your name" he asked
"Be.. Rebekah" and he felt his wolf repeat her name, and all felt at peace.
"You are beautiful, Rebekah" he said to her.
She smiled shyly.
"There was something wrong, she smelt like rain and candy and… Maybe it must be the crowd." He thought
"I want to show you something, Rebekah" He whispered to her and led the way
Taking her out of the dance floor.
He took her to his private garden and gestured to her to sit.
"You feel that, right?" he asked
And he watched her nod.
He took a deep breath in, of all the flowers that surrounded him.
It was nice to escape that crowd.
The smell of rain and candy and.. What is this?
"Where are you from Rebekah?" The Alpha asked, wanting to understand what he was missing
"Becker hills"
"From my pack?
Why haven't I seen her before?"
"What family?"
"The Smiths family sir" She answered
"Smiths?
It can't be what I am thinking…" He whispered
"Are you from a Beta family because you are definitely not a Luna"
"No, I… I… I am… I am an Ome…"
"Get out! "
" Alpha, I am so sorry I…"
"I SAID GET THE f**k OUT OF MY SIGHT!"
He watched her scurry away in fear.
He would have skinned her alive if she had uttered one more word.
"What happened, your mate ran away like she had just seen a…
"An Omega!?" He asked his Beta in furry.
"Has she gone NUTS?" He asked staring at the sky and full moon
"Has the Moon Goddess gone NUTS to pair me with an Omega!?"
