The Alpha’s Broken Mate

The Event

    I crossed the threshold into the mansion, and I was in awe. I may be annoyed but seeing the inside of beautiful places like this never gets old. This house though was different in a more beautiful and regal way. I have been to a lot of these parties, but this house, this house, is definitely my favorite. The endless ceilings, the extremely unique chandeliers, the gorgeous marble floors, and the imperial staircase. The beautiful double spiral chandeliers are something I have never seen in person before. They have different lengths of small crystal ropes that hang down the center of the chandelier. Then around the outside are water drop-shaped crystals that hang around the outside and look like the number eight wrapping around the smaller ropes.

    As I am staring at the chandeliers my mother gently nudges me forward, bringing me out of the trance I was in, staring up at the ceiling. I laugh a little and keep moving. We start to make our way towards the ballroom and people keep stopping my parents to say hi to them. My parents are really loved in our community. We have one of the largest and strongest packs in the US. The only pack that is larger and stronger is the Silverback Warriors pack. That pack is about an hour from our pack. My dad has been talking about making an alliance with them but he has been a little hesitant because their new alpha is a woman.  

    It’s rare for a woman to become alpha and some of the male alpha’s have been giving a little push back but they would be foolish to try and challenge them. The former alpha and Luna only had one child and that was a girl so she took over the pack from her father. I am hoping that her becoming alpha will pave the way for the rest of us first-born women to be able to take on the role of alpha and not be passed over for the first-born male. As alpha females, we are just as strong as alpha males. I train with our warriors and a lot of our she-wolves are just as good as the males sometimes better. Even though I don’t have my wolf yet and I haven’t shifted I am still extraordinarily strong, have a profound sense of smell, and have amazing eyesight. All are wolf attributes just without the wolf. 

    As we walk into the ballroom there are people everywhere. I am trying to shrink back so I can go hide in a corner like always. I don’t think I would mind these events as much if I were here to just have a good time but my parents want to parade me around to see if I can find my mate. Preferably an alpha but at this point, I think they would just be happy for me to find my mate. This event has some new people I haven’t seen before so who knows maybe tonight is my lucky night. 

    Standing in the corner with my drink I see my mom looking for me. I try to move more into the shadows but she sees me and I know if I try and find a different corner, I will never hear the end of it. “There you are, sweetheart. I knew I would find you in one of these corners since that seems to be where you gravitate to at these events. Your father is looking for you. He has some new people for you to meet.” I sigh and roll my eyes whining “But mom you know I hate these things. Forcing me to meet these people is ridiculous. Did you and dad ever think that the moon goddess has a plan for me and that plan is for me to meet my mate at a later point in time? That she’s waiting for things to align better?” My mother looked at me thoughtfully “I never thought of it that way. Come at least meet the ones with your father now and I will talk to him about it. I am not making any guarantees because he doesn't always listen to me but I can usually make him see reason.” It’s not ideal but the sooner I get this over with the sooner I can go hide back in my corner. 

    As we make our way through the crowd, I catch a whiff of something that smells heavenly. It was extraordinarily strong so the person must have been there briefly but had already left by the time I walked through that way. It smelled like fresh Dutch apple pie but as quick as I smelled it the smell was gone. I am looking around for the source of the smell but we reach my dad and I quickly push that smell to the back of my mind. “There you are princess, where did you run off to? Your mother and I have been looking for you everywhere,” my dad says to me sternly. “Lena, I would like you to meet Alpha Kevin Jones, Alpha Stewart Miller, and Alpha Thomas Williams. These boys just took over their respective packs from their fathers which is why we haven’t seen them at one of these parties before. Gentleman, this is my eldest child, Lena.” The young men turn to look at me “Hello gentlemen, it's very nice to meet you all.” I am trying to be polite but I really need to get away and try to find the person that smelled so delicious. I shake each of their hands but feel no sparks and I am not getting any kind of scent that excites me so I know none of them is the person I smelled when walking over to greet them. 

    My father looks disappointed but he knows he cannot force the mate bond. If it's not there it's not there. “If you will excuse me, gentlemen, I need to find a restroom.” I quickly turn around looking for the nearest bathroom. All the bathrooms in this place so far have a line so I decided to check upstairs to see if I could find an open bathroom. Once inside, I go over to the sink and splash a little water on my face. All I can think about is that heavenly smell from earlier but it was gone so quickly I have no idea whom it belonged to, though I have my suspicions. My mate was here tonight and I missed them. They must not have caught my sent or I am sure they would have come and found me.  

    I dry my hands and start heading towards the door to leave when it opens suddenly and I am hit with that delicious mouthwatering smell again. As I am looking at this gorgeous creature in front of me, I can tell by the determined look on their face they were following my scent. We lock eyes and I immediately get lost in them almost going week in the knees. As they slowly walk towards me, I panic and realize what the moon goddess has done. You see, I have known from an incredibly early age that I liked women. I never told my parents because every time I started to try and tell them they would say things like “OH I can’t wait for you to meet your mate. He's going to be tall, dark, and handsome. And OH, the grandbabies you will give us! We can’t wait to be grandparents.” I never had the heart to tell them. So, I just played along but now that the moon goddess has given me a mate, I must figure out how to tell them. 

    Before I even get a chance to say anything she grabs me by my waist and pulls me close. I feel the sparks dancing across my skin. I didn’t know anything could feel this good. I looked up into her gorgeous eyes that reminded me of the color of honey right from the comb and started taking in her features. She has high cheekbones, a cute button nose, very luscious looking lips, golden-brown hair with subtle pink highlights that is cut longer in the front and shorter in the back, sun-kissed skin, and standing significantly taller than myself. She definitely looks like she is multiethnic though I am not sure what at this point. All I do know is that she is gorgeous and she is all mine. 

    As I am staring at her I realize she is speaking to me. I shake my head and giggle a little “I am sorry I didn’t hear a word you said. Could you repeat it?” She looks at me and smiles “I said Hello gorgeous my name is Kita. I’ve been looking for you all night since I first caught a whiff of your scent. What's your name?” I blush at her compliment looking down shyly “My name is Lena. I caught your scent earlier too but my mother was taking me to my father so I couldn’t follow it. I came up here to regroup and was just about to leave when you threw the door open” I laughed.  

    Before I could say anything else her lips crashed onto mine and she probed my lips wanting to gain entry. I obliged willingly as our tongues battled in each other mouths. I felt her slowly moving me backward, pressing me up against the wall. I pulled her closer to me grinding myself against her. She moaned into my mouth and I could feel myself getting wetter. I wanted her more than I have ever wanted anything. I knew we had to stop but everything just felt so right I couldn’t bring myself to stop. I felt her pushing the front of my dress up just slightly so she could reach around and cup my bare ass. I wrapped my leg around her and ground myself into her more as her other hand gripped my waist making sure I didn’t fall. When we finally had to come up for air, I silently thanked the goddess we did because I needed to be able to think straight and figure things out.

    I pushed her away slightly so I could straighten myself out and walked over to the sink to splash some water on my face. She looked hurt and I knew I had some explaining to do. “Let me get myself together so we can talk. I’ll meet you outside in a minute.” She looked like she wanted to argue with me but she didn’t. She just smiled, nodded, and walked out into the hallway to wait for me. I needed to figure out what to do about this. I knew I was not going to give her up but would my parents accept me being a lesbian? Would they accept her? I needed to talk to my parents sooner rather than later. I needed to calm myself down before I saw them again because I know they would surely be able to smell my arousal and Kita. Steeling myself, I walked towards the door of the bathroom to talk with my mate and explain everything. Hopefully, she is understanding and can support me while I figure out a way to tell my parents not only am I a lesbian but that my mate is a woman. I walked out of that bathroom knowing my life was about to change forever.
