The Hidden Queen

Chapter Seven

Fiona’s POV

           I manage to hide for a bit, chatting with Sarah, Dakota, and Joey. They were not out front to greet the alpha, so they had no clue he was my mate. I was able to hide out until James found me. I knew he had a one-up on Alpha Cullin; James knew all my tricks and Joey ratted me out. He has convinced me to dance one dance with him, and then he will tell his dad some excuse to let me go back upstairs to the boys. In the middle of the dance, I start to smell the intoxicating cedar sent and know I am no longer going to be able to hide from my lovely mate.

           “I should go...” I whisper to James. I am planning my exit to get out of here as fast as possible.

           “Fi… Just talk to him. Give him a chance. He might be more understanding than you think.” James states, looking at me with that look that only he can give me, I think my dad taught him.

           “But…” I start, but he cuts me off.

“Fiona, please for me? Just give him one chance you promised Isaac, ” He smiles with a toothy grin.

“Fine!” I roll my eyes and go to try and track down Alpha Cullin.

It did not take long to find him standing next to the bar ordering another drink. I walk up next to him hoping to catch him a little off guard.

“Moscato, Please?” I ask the bartender.

“Yes, Beta Fiona.” He responds, and Alpha Cullin turns to look right at me.

“Beta?” He asks chocking a little on his drink.

“Yes, my dad was beta before he passed a few years ago,” I respond.

“O,” he says forming an O with his mouth.

“It's no big deal. I took over just a little earlier than the rest.”

“and your mom?”

“Getting the hard questions out of the way first huh? “ I joke. He just raises his brow in a question. “She passed not long after my dad,” I respond not saying anything about the boys. I figured start small and work my way up to the big things. Plus mates normally don’t live long once their mates pass.

“Sorry, I didn’t know. I focus more on the pack business than other pack relations.” He states with a frown on my face.

“It’s all good. It has been two years. So you’re an alpha huh?”

“Yea.”

“I thought your gamma called and said you weren’t coming tonight?”

“Kaleb? He must have been confused, normally is.” He looks just as confused as me.

“Oh well, I guess I might be a little glad he was,” I say back. Trying to flirt, I knew I was not doing a good job.

“Me too. Want to dance?” He said holding out his hand.

“Sure,” I say and grab his hand, and feel all the tingles as our hands finally meet. We make our way to the dance floor. He puts his hands on my hips, and I wrap my arms around his neck. He pulls me in close, so there is no space left between us. I rest my head on his chest, and he rests his chin on the top of my head.  We dance to three songs, as I let the bond take me and engulf me. Tingles spread across my entire body; the warmth of the bond engulfing every fiber of my being as we held on to each other. Once the third song ends our eyes meet, and he lowers his head and our lips meet. Soon he is grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the ballroom to a back hallway.

Cullin pushes my back up against the wall and continues the kiss. I let the mate bond fully take control of my actions, as he lowers his hands and lifts me up gripping the backs of my thighs. My hands go into his hair and pull him as close as I can. His hands wander higher on my thighs and grab my ass under my dress. I gasp allowing him to stick his tongue into my mouth. I moan with pleasure, as I hear another voice I was not expecting to hear.

“Ummmmm… Fi,” Isaac's panicked voice comes from out of nowhere.

“What?” I say looking like deer in the headlights at my little brother that just walked in on me nearing second base.

“It’s Spence, he fell there is a lot of blood. They took him to the pack hospital.” He spits out so fast. I push off of Collin, kick my shoes off, grab Isaac’s hand, and race with him to the pack hospital. I took a night off and one of them got hurt enough to be in the hospital.

Cullin’s POV

The mate bond is amazing. I cannot believe how amazing it is to touch her, kiss her, and hold her. She is amazing, and this dress does amazing things to me. My c**k is so hard from her grinding into me. I reach under the short skirt and grab her ass, and she gasps letting me access to stick my tongue into her mouth, and she moans. f**k that sound is amazing. She is perfect. Just then a male voice sounds next to me, and the next thing I know she is pushing me off of her and running hand in hand with this guy down the hall. Away from me…

           I adjust myself in my pants, as I stand in shock as to what just happened. I don’t feel like going back to the party, but I don’t know if I should follow her.

           “i***t…you follow mate.” Bronx cries out in my head.

           “But how do I even find out where she went?” I ask the annoying wolf. At least he wasn’t yelling at me this time.

           “Did you not listen to what that pup told her?” Bronx yells out, back to himself.

           “Umm, I was a little preoccupied.”

           “Pack hospital, you idiot.” He rolls his eyes in my head.

           I start walking towards where the pack hospital would be. Most packs are set up the same, and I knew that this would be no different. I find the front doors and sneak in, most of the pack was at the ball, so it would be a skeleton crew lest at the hospital. I finally can smell her intoxicating scent again, and race towards it. I stop when I see her, the guy that came and got her from me, had her wrapped in his arms. There was a small pup cradled in her arms. He leans over and kisses my mate on the top of her head. I let out a small growl, who was this man touching my mate?!

           I turn and walk away back to my room. Lost in a trance, my mate had chosen a mate already. She has a pup. She has a mate and a pup, no wonder she was not happy about meeting me. I was going to reject her. Why did she kiss me? I could not wrap my head around any of this.

           Kaleb is sitting on my bed when I get back into my room.

           “So do we have a new Luna?” He asks with a big old smirk.

           “Dude. I don’t want to talk about.” I shake my head.

           “What, she was smoking tonight. You didn’t f**k it up already did you?” he questions, and I let out a low growl.

           “No, she has a pup and a chosen mate, and all I got is a bad case of blue balls,” I state as I drop down onto the bed.

           “O… dude I am sorry, so she rejected you? He asks.

           “No… she ran off with him. I will have to find her in the morning and do it.” I sigh.

           “Dude…” Kaleb lays back.

           “Oh, weird question, why did you call and say I wasn’t coming to the ball?” I ask.

           “I called for Cal, not you Cul.” He states raising an eyebrow.

           “Oh… she must have been confused.” I shrug not as it matters anymore.

           “Or she doesn’t know that you have a twin and identical twin?” He raises both eyebrows.

 I didn’t have time for this. I was going to find her tomorrow morning, reject her, and just move on. This was all just too much. I stop talking, and eventually, Kaleb gets up and just leaves. I don’t sleep much, just toss and turn until the sun rises, and I go to hunt down Fiona.
