Alpha Prince Charming

Chapter 3 ~❀~

Forty-six Days Before

There was a soft knock on the door, and I was currently making my own homemade Sub. I sadly had to stop and walk out of the kitchen and towards the door and I opened it, and look at the strange guy who was smiling at me.

"Hello, you must be Ana, Stefan's daughter." He states while holding out his right hand waiting for me to shake it.

Which I did awkwardly.

"Uhm, why are you here?" I ask.

"Oh! I'm so sorry. I'm here to ask you some questions, so can I come in?" He asks looking at me carefully.

"Um is that necessary?" I asked softly.

"If you're uncomfortable then we can talk on your porch. It's really no bother to me at all. I just am good friends with your father." He informs me while backing away.

"Yeah okay." I say while steeping out and leaving the door cracked, taking a seat on the porch couch next to the kind stranger who happens to claim that he is a friend of my dad's.

"So, tell me Ana, what did you see that day in the woods?" He asked taking out a notepad and a pen.

"Why would you want to know?" I ask curiously.

"Because your father now believes that it was indeed a wolf that you have seen." He informs me while looking at me.

"Wait! You're saying that you believe me too!?" I ask surprise.

"Yeah, look what I'm about to tell you..." He sighs but continues.

"You have to promise not to tell your mother or brothers. You can tell your father, he probably would want to know what I'm about to tell you anyways." He breathes and then clears his throat and then started to look around for any eager ears.

"It's just me." I say.

"No not that, they have good hearing." He explains still looking around.

"Who's they?" I ask getting impatient.

"This is why I suggested earlier that we should talk about this inside." He sighs running a hand through his long curly blonde hair.

"Wait." I say softly. Causing him to look at me curiously.

"If I let you inside, then can you tell me?" I ask him to stand up.

"Of course, you deserve the truth being how one shows interest in you." He explains standing up.

I then have him follow me inside my house, and I closed the door and locked it as soon as the guy fully walked into my living room.

"Now this wolf was black right?" He asked taking a seat on the couch and holding his notepad in front of his face.

"Yes, and his head was laying against a rock and his body was on the ground and he was just looking at me. I got so scared I stood up and tripped over a rock and then some handsome muscular guy was running towards me, and then I blacked out." I inform him catching my breath.

I look to see that he has written everything I just said down.

"Yep that's him alright." The guy sighs while putting his pen down on the coffee table.

"Listen Ana, this guy he uh is a uh... Alpha." He manages to blurt out.

"A what?" I ask confused.

"Listen." He says, then continues knowing that I won't disturb him.

Although I can't make any promises. I'm a pretty clingy person.

"First of all, this town is infected by werewolves. Your family and my family are the only human beings that live here." He explains quickly.

"Werewolves? But they look like people?" I look at him lost.

He just gives me a small smile.

"Yeah, only the males in this town could shift. While the females are just human." He says as a matter of fact.

"Secondly, this town is ruled by an Alpha King. His name is King Nathaniel. He has a mate, who is the Luna Queen, her name is Queen Kristen. And they live in a small neighborhood smaller than this town, like a village basically but with only mansions for houses." He informs me while shaking his head.

"One house, is the main castle. It's at the end of the street of mansions and that is where us townspeople go to see the royal family, or the king. He's very nice, also his mate is too. But I can't say the same for their son, Greyson." He shudders after the name Greyson.

"What's a mate?" I decide to ask first, I don't want to hear about Greyson yet.

"It's a werewolf's other half. They would do anything for their mate. Also, like I said that only males are wolves which is true, so when the males find their mates they would also want them to carry their pups. I mean, the king made sure that this town was populated more." He explains.

"Oh, so I might be mated to one?" I ask softly.

"Don't be so scared Ana. I'm sure that he'll be a nice lad. Although, you better hope the lucky stars that it's Greyson." He chuckles.

His comment made me remember something.

"Wait, why is Greyson such a horrible person?" I ask while biting my lip.

"Because my dear, he's the cruelest one out of the royal family. All because he hadn't found his mate yet. I actually feel bad for him." He sighs.

He stood up, and then closed his notepad.

"Wait, are you going to the ball tomorrow?" I asked standing up as well.

"Of course, everyone is going. It's an annual event for the town. Get ready to see some w****s get all slutty up to see the prince." He scoffs while walking to the door.

"Why would they do that to impress Greyson?" I ask once we both went up to the front door.

"Child, this masquerade ball, is for Greyson to find his mate." He informs while looking at me then opening the door and walking outside.

I just stood there shocked. Now I really don't want to go.

Forty-five Days Before

Once I put my light pink dress on, I applied some light pink lip gloss on my lips.

I'm currently doing makeup in my parent's bathroom with my mother but she's doing her own. I didn't want to do my makeup in front of my brothers. And my mom just liked spending time with me. So that's why I am here.

"Now remember to be on your best behavior Ana." My mom says sternly pointing at me with her silver acrylic nail.

"Yeah okay mom." I sigh while Ian opens the back door for me.

My dad goes on the driver's side while my mom gets in the passenger's side. Vince is already in the car and I slide in next to him. Then Ian scoots in and closes the door which made my dad start the engine and pull out of the driveway.

I made everyone's masks this morning, because Vince had the day off so he was out probably sleeping with more girls and Ian was asleep while my parents were at work like usual.

There was a giant gate, that had two guards guarding it. And the white cement wall was at least eight feet tall. The beautiful black gate was also about eight feet tall.

My dad rolled down his window, and then the guard looked at him.

"Invitation." He says so formally my mom almost had a heart attack.

My dad handed him the invite and the guard nodded and then waved at the gate. And it opened, then the guard handed my dad the invite back and my dad started to drive through the gate.

When my dad pulled up in front of the castle, he turned off the engine and I just looked at the castle in awe. We then all climbed out of the car and my dad locked it.

"Okay, once we go inside, your mother and I will go look for the king and queen. And Ian make sure you're with Vince the whole time. We don't want to do anything embarrassing in front of the whole town. And Ana, you can tour around and maybe meet some people your age. Make sure we meet here at the car at ten." He explains to us and then puts on his white mask that vertically covers half of his face. It even has three black stripes going horizontally.

My mom put her mask on, it covered her whole face except her chin. I take full blame because her mask was the last one, that I made, and she was very specific on what her type of mask was. It was light purple with white flower drawings going down vertically from the top to the bottom of the mask on both ends of the mask.

Ian's only covered his eyes. He says that he wants to be able to breathe. So, I made him a red one with gold edges.

Vince didn't want to wear his all the time so I made his similar with Ian's but there's a white stick attached to the bottom of the mask, so he just has to hold the mask the whole time.

Mine was just like Ian's but was pink and gold with a pink feather sticking up on the top of my mask. I wanted it to match my dress.

Once we all walked in, Ian and Vince went somewhere while my parents went off looking for the king and queen. While I sighed and looked for the food.

Screw meeting people my age.

I then found the table and took three sushi rolls and ate them all at once.

A deep soft sexy chuckle was heard, and I turned around with my face stuffed with two more sushi rolls. To say this man was hot would be an understatement.

The black-haired tan beauty walked up to me and had a huge smirk on his face. Two sluts were looking at me with hate. But why? I don't even know them. Then it hit me.

"Hello my piccolo Campagna." He murmured into my ear while biting my earlobe and then kissing my beet red cheek.

"I-I'm sorry what? I can't be. I'm only human." I gasped when I felt his arms wrap tightly and firmly around my petite waist.

I know he said little mate, I took Italian at my college back home so I know what he said.

"But you are, man I am blessed with such a beautiful creature. What's your name my love?" He asked while kissing my neck.

"A-Ana." I breathed out.

"Such a beautiful name. Shall we dance? Then you shall meet my parents." He says pulling away and grabbing my hand.

He led me to where a bunch of masked people were getting ready to dance. And then the orchestra behind two singers started to play on the stage.

I recognized the song; it was All the right moves by One Republic.

Everyone started to dance like in the music video like I had remembered. It's been a while.

We danced for what felt like two hours, and the guy takes me away from the people clapping and to the back of the castle, only to find the king and queen sitting on their thrones.

"Mother, father, I want you to meet my mate." He says like he just won a giant trophy.

His mom had watery eyes and placed a hand over her chest. While his dad stood up with a huge smirk. Then gestured us to stand next to him.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE!!" His voice boomed with such command and authority that everyone, including my family walks in and looks confused.

"There will be no more annual masquerade balls, for my son, and your future Alpha King had finally found his mate.... Ana Bennett who will become your next Luna Queen." He shouts proudly.

Everyone cheered and then got back to whatever they were doing. While my family had a private meeting which I frowned to.

"Ana dear, did you hear me?" The queen asks.

"Oh no, I'm sorry what?" I asked embarrassed.

"I asked you when you plan on moving in with Greyson." She says with a smile.

"Tomorrow." Greyson informs happily.

"Perfect! Now come on dear, we can interrogate her tomorrow, let's go for a walk." The king said while linking arms with her and then walking down the steps.

"Come on beautiful, let's meet your family." He says while gesturing towards my sobbing mother and my sad father holding her having glassy eyes.

Vince was drinking some wine, while Ian had his face into his hands.

What on earth are they going to do when they find out I have to leave them in the morning?
