George’s POV
I entered alpha Henry’s office soon with Lance soon in tow. But my mind was completely fogged with many questions. Who was she? What was she doing here. My wolf disgusts my thoughts of my mate being a human, but I was surprised at the same time seeing her in the training grounds. I didn’t know what was happening. I came out of my thoughts when alpha Henry spoke up.
“Hello George. How are you? Is everything alright?”
“Hello alpha Henry. Yes, everything is good for now. We caught two rogues from yesterday. They were from a rogue alpha Marcus’ pack. Seems that he has proclaimed himself the rogue king.”
“That’s some news to hear. Did you get any information our of those two? These attacks have been going on for a while now”
“Yes alpha. It seems that the rogue alpha is looking for a powerful she-wolf, whom he wants to be his chosen mate. And I suspect a witch is helping them. The rogue alpha is actually forcing the attack survivors of different packs to join his and he’s making them attack on the others.”
As soon as I said those words, alpha Henry looked shocked and fear was written clearly on his face. Before I could ask what was wrong, I felt a pain in my gut and a wave of power hitting me in my face. I looked up at alpha Henry, and he was livid of it. Suddenly, his eyes became cloudy and focused in seconds. Someone was mind linking him.
“We need to go. Nicola says there’s someone on the grounds.” There was a kind of urgency in his voice. We rushed towards the same forest we came. We were soon nearing a clearing that was right in the middle of the woods. Right then, I felt some kind of powerful aura in the clearing and there was a beautiful white wolf with royal blue eyes with specks of silver and silver lining. Alex was screaming “mate, mate, mate”. I was astonished.
She radiated so much of power, even my wolf Alex submitted in my mind. Alpha Henry’s state was no different from mine. Moments ago, I saw her but I couldn’t feel or smell anything wolf-like from her. How could she be so powerful and beautiful at the same time? Thank the goddess, I didn’t do anything irrational. Before I came here, I even had the thought of rejecting her crossing my mind at a point.
“My lady are you okay?” a lady’s voice could be heard. She was asking the white she-wolf. Suddenly, the white wolf was glaring her canines at someone. Her anger could be felt even from this distance. “Calm down Elina, Nicola and Cole. I mean you guys no harm.” A new female voice said. We now were there in the clearing and there were three wolves and an old lady with long silver blond hair reaching her bottom, with green eyes a pale, stone face. A witch. Alex was instantly on his guard.
“Hello Alpha Henry. Finally I get to see Nathaniel’s grandson.”
“Cynthia?” alpha Henry asked her.
“Yes Henry, I’m Cynthia, the witch, your grandfather was in love with, before he found his fated mate.” She chuckled while answering alpha. Alpha Henry then turned towards the three of them and said “El, Cole, Nicola, it’s alright. She means us no harm. You can shift back now.” The other two shifted back, but the my mate was afraid and was also exhausted. She was exhausted and sat on all her fours with her head on her front paws.
“It’s alright El, your first shift took toll on you. Try to gather energy and shift back. Just imagine your human form. We’re all here” alpha Henry said. I know he was trying trying to console my mate and try to shift her back to human, but my mate whimpered in pain. Alex was angry. He was trying to resurface but it took all my efforts to make him calm down.
“Silence Alex, calm down. He’s an alpha. You cannot show your anger towards him. After all, he’s trying to help our mate. You we cannot say anything right now. She might not know who we are and if we do anything rash, she might get afraid of us.” With that, he whimpered and went back inside my head after saying “I just want to take her and console her. I want to take away her pain.”
I know, I too wanted to do the same. But there were many questions in my head. Why couldn’t I smell her before or feel her powerful aura before? Before I could think further, my mate gingerly took the clothes and went to a nearby tree. She soon came out fully clothed. She was absolutely stunning. She looked like she was about to faint. Before anyone moved, I was quick in my actions and caught her before she could hit her head to the ground.
“George, will you kindly help us bring El to her room?” Alpha Henry asked. I nodded quickly and carefully lifted my mate in my arms. Alex was purring in my head feeling his mate was safe in our arms. the sparks were flying and it was clouding my mind with a strong pull. I wanted to kiss her full pink lips and bite down on her flawless skin on the exposed part of the neck, there at that moment. Not yet, I thought to myself.
I looked up to see that we were now entering the western part of the castle. If she was only a guest, her room must be in the eastern wing. Why were we here? Before I could ask the same, alpha Henry pointed us towards a white painted mahogany door with beautiful red and golden details. It was the high alpha king William and queen Martha’s room. I was shocked. Now that I carefully looked at my mate, she resembled queen Martha very much. My mate was our future high alpha and Queen of all werewolves.
“You’ll never know what is about to happen to us, once we mate.” Alex said. “what happens to us?” I asked him. He was talking in puzzles and I hated it. “you’ll know it soon.” That’s all he said. I carefully placed my mate on the big four poster king bed in the middle of the room and tucked her in, keeping in mind not to disturb her. The covers were sky blue and there were white and blue pillows on the bed. The room had a huge balcony towards the opposite side of the door, overlooking the cliff and the waterfalls. And there were two huge windows covering the entire wall left side of the room, overlooking the training grounds. The room was beautiful, same as my mate. I looked at her and she was sleeping peacefully. She slept like a baby on her side, a small o forming on her lips, hands to the side of her head.
The thought of kissing her lips had me on full arousal. Oh goddess, how innocent she looked in her sleep. But on careful observation, one could see that there was a scar of a cut on her left temple from her head. What the f**k? If she was a wolf, her wounds must have been healed by now. Why was there still a scar? Did they use a silver knife? My blood boiled. I wanted to kill everyone who did that to her.
I came out of my reverie as soon Cynthia spoke up. “Alpha Henry, Alpha George. We need to talk. Let Eleanor sleep. Please follow me.” Alpha Henry nodded and took us to his office, with Nicola and Cole in tow. As soon as we were there, Cole and Nicola closed the office doors. Cynthia turned towards us and said “Alpha, I’m here to help the princess in recognizing her powers and get a control over them. You know about the prophecy right?”
