She's The Queen

Chapter 2

Xander POV

    Sitting here pondering over the things Nick said, still sipping on my drink, wondering if one of the Alpha's is really trying to pull some dumb s**t. Hell, I'm used to trivial nonsense like that in the business world with the humans, but in my own world? Would one really dare try something sinister with me as the King? Most of them about piss their pants when I walk into the room.

    Well you are one of the biggest jackasses I've ever met. So you know...Quirped Dimitri

     "Nice of you to finally throw in your two cents. Hello to you too."

    Yeah yeah....You know I could care less about all the nonsense that involves coming to this mundane event. Same s**t every year. I'd rather not listen to the Vamps and their usual conquest for "more feeding areas". Morons

    "You think I like being here either i***t? If it wasn't a mandate by the Elder Council, we sure as f**k wouldn't be here."

    I'd almost rather see you with one of the "whores" you sometimes share a bed with than be here. Almost. Blah! Nasty.

    "Shut the f**k up. What would you like me to do then? It's not like we found our mate yet. Which some help from you on that would be great. If you don't have anything useful to say, leave me alone."

    Moody b***h. And why don't you just go down and spy on the Alpha in question and his family? Its not like we don't have the ability to cloak ourselves in the shadows so people don't see us. One of our wonderful powers since you are you know...The freaking King.

    "Honestly didn't think of that. You aren't completely worthless I guess." I said while laughing.

    I'm going to ignore that moronic comment....For now. Just go make yourself useful and figure out what his issue is before I give you a blaring headache. He said insultingly.

    "Yeah yeah." I said before blocking him out to avoid a headache from him being an annoying prick.

    Dimitri is my wolf. My internal daily annoyance and fiercest asset as a werewolf. When he comes out to play he stands at 7' at the shoulders and 8'6" at the top of his head, perks of being the Alpha King, we are bigger than any other wolf in the werewolf world. With pitch black fur and bright green eyes, Dimitri instantly stops threats in their tracks. His Alpha King aura oozes off him when pissed or threatened and it can usually bring our threat to their knees before we end their existence. But he is cocky and loves to piss me off with snide remarks about my lifestyle choices or just general nonsense because he is a prick like that.

****

    After mulling over what Dimitri said for another half hour or so I decided to finally go lurk around to see if Alpha Ferrari and the family have arrived yet to gather intel. Figured since no one is gonna see me anyways, I left my gray sweatpants on, said f**k wearing a t-shirt since were in Spain and threw on a pair of Nikes and walked out the door of my suite and down towards the lobby.

    As I'm walking to the elevator I chant the the spell my father taught me when I was a kid to bring out my cloaking shield. It's basically a thin clear veil that envelops my body and no other inhuman creature can see or smell me. It's gotten me in and out of trouble more times than I can count as a teenager with Nick and Adrian (my Gamma, or third in command), before our father's threatened to withhold our titles to straighten our asses out. Now I only use it when absolutely necessary, therefore Dimitri having to remind me I still have that ability.

    Walking out of the elevator into the resort lobby I spot a dimly lit area near the bar entrance to sit and watch the covens and their respective packs check in while listening to their conversations and noting any issues to deal with at a later time.

    After 45 minutes of sitting here and getting absolutely nowhere with this damn conquest, I open my mind link to Dimitri back up.

    "We are getting nowhere with this."

    Hmm...I see that. Do you really have that little of patience?

    "f**k off already. I had half a buzz when you requested this nonsense. It's your turn to lurk. Keep the cloak up and don't d**k around and take full control. I don't want to end up somewhere stupid."

      The string of explicit's that rolled off him after commanding him were hilarious and just what I needed before drifting off....

****

    "What the f**k dude?! Why the f**k are you prancing around so much!!" I said to Dimitri after waking to to a blaring headache from his antics in my head.

    Here! Here! She's here! Mine mine mine!

    "Who is here?! The hell?!"

    Smell the air you i***t and you'll understand. He said while still prancing around like a deranged lunatic.

    "Only if you calm down!"

     Oh fine....You'll understand soon enough.

    After him finally calming down enough so I could think straight. I closed my eyes, inhaled deeply, and was hit with the most intoxicating delicious mouth watering smell, fresh coffee and hot out of the oven cinnamon rolls. I had to find what was producing that beautiful smell, now.

    You i***t we are still cloaked! You can't go off walking around. You'll blow our cover!

    "Right right....My bad." I said while slowly sitting up and scanning the lobby. Where is that smell coming from? Still glancing around when finally,  I saw her.....Moon Goddess she was breathtakingly perfect.

    She couldn't have been more perfect in my eyes. She was tiny, maybe 5' 4" max? With gorgeous flowing chocolate brown curls down her back that I just want to run my hands through. Perfect sun-kissed skin that I want to caress while the sparks shoot through our bodies. And speaking of bodies, Moon Goddess her curves. The things I want to do to her curves would make the biggest sinner blush. I couldn't wait to feel those thick thighs of her wrapped around me while I'm f*****g her all night long. I said to myself while feeling the tell tale sign of my d**k twitching in my pants. f**k! All I need her to do is look my way. "Please look my way." I quietly murmured to myself as to not blow my cover.

Almost as if she heard my request, she turned and looked directly at me. Wait, did she hear me? Whatever, not important. I'll figure that out later. Seeing her angelic face was the nail in the proverbial coffin. I'd give my life right now if it meant seeing that gorgeous smile of hers was the last thing I saw. Flawless facial features, beautiful full lips I couldn't wait to kiss, an adorable little nose and her eyes? Her eyes were this absolutely mesmerizing turquoise color I've never seen before, Goddess I could get lost in those eyes for the rest of my days and it wouldn't phase me one bit. She was perfect, wonderful, majestic, beautiful, and a million other words all wrapped into one. She was, she was......

Mine! Ours! Whatever! Mate! Mate. MATE! Dimitri said between howls of happiness while jumping around like a mad wolf in my head. But I didn't care, he was right. She was ours. And I'd do everything in my power to have her with us, wrapped in my arms, and proudly wearing my mark before this week of hell is over.

Breaking my concentration on her was a voice that made the anger course through me wanting to rip out their throat for ruining this moment.

"Alexandria! Andiamo! Non abbiamo tutto il giorno. Nella tua stanza adesso!" (Lets go! We don't have all day! To your room now!) Her i***t father commanded, I'll be sure to straighten his ass out later for disrespecting my mate like that.

"Sì Alpha, scusa papà." (Yes Alpha, sorry papa.) The melodious sound of her voice ringing in my ears with her fluent Italian accent and voice of an angel.

Before walking away to follow her family, she turned right back to face me and gave me the sweetest smile ever and a small wave before turning to follow her family.

"Wait....Dimitri did you let the cloak down? She saw us. Our angel saw us!"

Cloak is still up....One of us had to somewhat pay attention to our surroundings before you let the guard down! Goddess....She is pure perfection.

"Yes she is."

We found her. Finally. My Queen. My Luna. My reason for breathing. My mate.

Alexandria POV

    Wow. Cartagena is breathtakingly beautiful. The colors, the architecture, the music, just everything. I couldn't wait to go sightseeing, enjoying some delicious food, hit up a beach, maybe even try the nightlife. The pictures in the travel guide didn't do this place justice. It just makes me all the more excited to fill my passport with stamps and see the world.

    Listening to my brothers argue with my father brings me out of my trance as I hear the words "No one is leaving the resort." Coming from my fathers mouth.

    "Wait...What?"

    "You heard me Alexandria. None of you are to leave the resort. This is a business trip, not a fun trip."

     "I read the itinerary, there is plenty of downtime to explore. What was the point of me even coming if all I'm allowed to do is sit in a stupid room unless I'm escorted my these two?" I said pointedly towards my brothers. "They get to do whatever they want the last two years, now that I'm here we are under lock and key? We are freaking adults for crying out loud!" I say exasperatedly as my family looks at me in shock over my unusual outburst.

   "Sweetheart we are just looking out for your safety." Mom said lovingly.

    "Safety? Safety? I've been closely watched and "protected" for the last 3 years. Don't think I didn't know about how little freedom I had at college or how my every move was reported back to you guys." I blatantly said while glaring at my father.

    "Excuse me? Lorenzo what is she talking about?" My mothers says to my father with the biggest look of shock on her face. Whoops, guess she didn't know, oh well. I was too far into this tirade to stop now.

    "Yes, I had a 24/7 security detail attached to her when she wasn't on pack grounds. It was for her own safety! It's my job as the Alpha and your father to protect everyone, and I don't need to defend my actions! This conversation is over! My word is final, you are to stay at the resort and your brothers will accompany you anywhere you go if your mother or myself are unavailable." He said while using the last part with his Alpha tone.

    "Yes Alpha." We all said in unison, but we could sense the seething rage off our mother knowing the conversation wasn't over between them, at least not yet.

    The last 20 minutes of the ride to the resort were uncomfortably silent. You could slice the tension with a butter knife it was so thick. I honestly didn't care anymore. I was sick of being treated like a helpless child. I was never allowed to train, rarely could hang out with friends, and my one time with "a  potential mate" ended terribly. I did damn good in school, never caused trouble, and was always respectful of my elders. I was sick of being treated like a no one, while my brothers could do almost whatever they wanted.

    Arriving at the hotel was like a weight off my shoulders. Moon goddess I couldn't wait to be away from these people and locked away from them in my room. Grabbing my bags, I walk behind my family and into the resort lobby, lord this place is heaven on earth. The architecture is stunning and the warm ocean breeze is dancing around my skin. I seriously couldn't wait to throw on a swimsuit and hit the resorts private beach.

    Glancing around the lobby I saw a restaurant/bar entrance, a spa/salon, and what looked like a gaming area. Well I know for sure I'll be hitting up the spa and treating myself, whether my father likes it or not.

    Still glancing around looking at the gorgeous lobby I hear the faintest sentence. "Please look my way." I honestly don't know why, but it sounded like that handsome husky voice was talking directly to me, and I had to know who said it. Glancing around quickly, my eyes finally land him.

     Moon goddess....He is like a Greek god in living form. Just sitting there, you can tell he is tall, at least 6' 4"? Chiseled strong features, pillow soft full lips, a strong nose, perfectly styled dark brown/black hair, absolutely flawless tan skin, and a body I just wanted to run my hands all over. Goddess his muscles were perfection and I just wanted to run my hands all over his body while tracing the intricate tattoos that covered his arms and slightly spilled onto his chest.

What caused a slight hitch in my breath were his eyes. They were a mesmerizing sea foam green. Even though they had a look of shock and confusion in them, I could seriously stare into those eyes all day.

Finally I took a much needed deep breath and that's when I caught his scent. Sandalwood, lavender and a hint of fresh fallen snow. It's was the most welcoming scent and instantly made me feel at home.

As I was getting ready to walk over to him and say hello, my father of course had to ruin the moment and break me out of my trance.

"Alexandria! Andiamo! Non abbiamo tutto il giorno! Nella tua stanza adesso!" (Let's go! We don't have all day! To your room now!) He said rather rudely while glaring at me by the elevator.

"Sí Alpha, scusa papà." (Yes Alpha, sorry papa.) I said back while Natalia is internally growling and rolling her eyes at him, both of us pissed off at this ruined moment. But before I walked away, I turned back to the still shocked/confused sexy man and gave him a small smile before rushing to the elevator.

"Who was that Natalia? Goddess he was delicious."

I want to say he is our mate, but something is interfering with our connection. I can feel the pull somewhat and his eyes/smell made us feel at home. Someone or something is interfering with our mate bond and I don't like it at all. We have to do 2 things: figure out what the f**k is going on and find him again. Whoever he is.

"Agreed."
