The Alpha King's Mate

CHAPTER2

"I want you to stay out of the Alpha King's sight" she said in a hushed voice, as if scared he might overhear her.

"Why" the question came from a place of curiosity, a part of me knew why, I just wanted to hear it directly from her.

"I don't know. I am sure you have heard some narrative about him.I just want you to be safe. You are more at risk than I am. You know why."

Yeah, the unmated female gets into danger more than the mated once. This is because the werewolf community can't afford to get saddled with weak warriors because their mates are in danger. "

Mates are the other half of wolves.

If found, they make the significant other stronger.

The loss of one's mate can lead to the death of the other or, by chance, a weakened state of the person.

"Thanks, but are the rumors really true?"

" A reasonable number of people has affirmed, so have sure it is."

"Does the Alpha king have a name? "

Our conversation stopped abruptly when we heard footsteps approaching my room. There was a light knock at the other end of the door.

"Who is that?"

"Kathy,"

"Come in"

Kathy is a mother figure to me, she practically raised me, and she is very loyal to me.

"Marty, Miss"she bowed, acknowledging Eve and me.

I have given her a firm warning not to address me with formalities.

"Your mate awaits your presence" she said, directing the news to Eve.

"Oops, I have to run along, Mateo needs me."

"I will be back by noon. Get ready. We are getting you a dress today. "

"I don't think Dad will allow me to go out. "

"Look for a way, Bye" she hastily walked out.

I sighed, One day it would be me getting all giddy just hearing my mate's name.

CHAPTER 2

I told my Dad about the shopping.

"Dad I… I would like to go shopping with Eve ahead of the event". I bowed my head, shivering in fear.

"There will be no need for that. I have already got a stylist for you and Alisa. She will be here soon. All you need to do is select your choice, and she will get you ready on that day."

"And varieties will be available to choose from "

I sighed. I knew this would be his response, but why must I do this with Alisa?

That girl has a foul mouth, she has the capability of inflicting pain on people with her tongue.

I silently prayed to the moon Goddess for Alisa not to pick on me.

Eve kept to her word and came back by noon. She was so disappointed when I told her of my father's decision, but she insisted on following me to make a choice of outfit.

"Marty, the stylist is here," Kathy announced.

"Oh! Let her in"

"Sorry Alisa already took her to the dressing room. She said. You can come over to meet them if you want. "

"OK thanks, you can go."

"Is she serious? We have to go over and meet her. That is disrespectful. "Eve blew hot

"It is fine, let's just go. "

She reluctantly followed me, cursing under her breath.I chuckled when I noticed that

The overprotective nature of my Dad sometimes makes me wonder if there is a secret behind it. My suspicion heightened when I overheard him arguing with his mate over it.

" You can't keep locking her in, let her explore like her peers" Helen fumed.

"There is a reason for this. She is not supposed to be wandering about. "

"How about you share that reason with me? "

"You don't even like her. Why are you advocating for her?"

"That's the main reason I want her out, she is always in my face."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. "

When I heard footsteps approaching the door, I scrambled out in haste.

I was always confined in the house. I get whatever I want and in return I act like a dutiful daughter and do whatever I am told. The only time I am allowed to go out is to run, and my dad is always stationed three or more guards with is

It was frustrating.

Alisa held a dress when we got in

She was flaunting it at us, Alisa was a petite girl, she could pass. Her blonde hair made her tanned skin glow to me, she was a beauty queen.

Eve always shuts me up when I say it out loud, she always likes to remind me that I was sexy and more appealing than Alisa.

Eve sure dislikes Alisa

"Hi,. I am Anna.I will be your stylist for the coming event". The hairstylist introduced herself to us.

I shook her hands formally and smiled.

I noticed she was fidgeting and am sure Alisa had a hand in it. She must have bullied the poor woman.

I held her hands this time passionately, she slowly raised her head and smiled at me. I squeezed her hands gently. I noticed this little gesture made her more comfortable.

" You sure are a sight to behold" Anna said.

"I know right, I've been told countless times "Alisa responded without even sparing a glance at us ,she was tossing clothes she didn't like all over the room.

I shook my head lightly at Anna when she wanted to tell her that the compliment was for me.

If she does that, we will all get an earful

"Wow, I am sure this will look amazing on you"Eve shouted excitedly. She held a black diamond-engraved dress.

It was shining even in the daytime.

"Yeah it's beautiful. But the length is too short."

"Your friend sure has great taste", Anna complimented.

"It suits your body type. Don't worry about the length"

"Try it on, let's see if it needs any more adjustments."

Suddenly, we heard a huff and the door banged loudly. Alisa left the room for reasons best known to her.

I looked back at Eve, but she just rolled her eyes and urged me to go get dressed.

"Woah you look great, the dress suit is like it was made just for you", Eve complimented. The smile on her face was heavenly.

"Take a look at it yourself "

I stared at myself in the mirror, my curves stood out as if in a parade show. The dress hugged my body like a second skin. Truly, the dress was gorgeous.

The only problem was the length. Eve swatted my hand away when I tried to pull it down a bit.

Finally, we were done with the selected outfit. We badded Anna goodbye, and she left with a promise of coming back to get me ready on the event day.
