The Alpha King's Queen

Chapter 6: Mating Announcement pt 1

Amelia's POV

I think I’ll respond when my mate steps up and says “I’ll support you in whatever decision you decide is best.”

“We still have to announce your mating soon.” Dad says to bring the conversation to a sunnier side.

“I know but I think for today I have had enough excitement. I am getting hungry and thirsty so I think we will go back to the lake house and get settled in for the night. I’ll see y’all tomorrow right?” I asked.

“Of course, dear.” My mother said.

We left my parents house and went back to the lake house. The walk back was filled with my mind racing with so many questions. Why now, why haven’t they reached out oh I don’t know any time over the last 20 years? What do they want? Was my biological mother telling the truth about my conception? So many questions that I’m not even sure I want answers to.

I was so caught up in my own thoughts that I didn’t even notice I was home until I smelt something mouth watering and it wasn’t my mate.

“Anthony?” I asked, “What do you think I should do? I mean on one hand I kind of wanna know why they did this, why my mother gave me up. Why my father would have rapped my mother. Maybe she was his beloved and he felt compelled to do so, although that is no excuse.” I rambled on.

“Love, you’ll never know if you don’t ask the questions you seek answers to.” He replied.

I drank the blood from the cup and felt my fangs grow with each sip. I winced from the pain but it had become more bearable. The thing I find most troublesome of becoming a hybrid is that I can’t be around the people I care about most because they would be in danger.

The existence of hybrids and even tribrids like my mate, siblings, and mother are very scares. Our family is the only group I know of.

I always wondered why I never had the gift of magic, that’s what mom called it, and now I know. I don’t really belong to this family. I do, but I am not blood related to this family. I find it ironic that my biological mother would have named me Emily. You see my best friends name is Emily. She’s the daughter of my mothers best friend Kelsey. She has sandy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She has the freckles of a ginger but has a very tan complexion. Emily stands around 5’8” so she’s about 3 inches taller than me.

Emily is that kind of friend that would be family if one could chose.

Lost in my thoughts I didn’t even hear Anthony order any food, nor leave to pick it up, until I smelt it.

“Awe, you ordered my favorite pizza and chicken alfredo pasta” I swooned.

“That’s right only the best for my girl. I already went and got your ranch from Mazzio’s as well so you have some of that to go with your sausage pizza with green bell peppers mushrooms and onions.” He stated proudly.

“Thank you, love.” I said and gave him a kiss.

Anthony truly is the best mate I have ever seen. Of course he would be though we were raised to cherish our mates and make the most of every moment.

When I was but a baby my parents had the triplets and I thank the Goddess that they were able and willing to take me in. They didn’t have to raise me yet they chose to any way.

“What would you like to watch?” Anthony asked while sitting in front of our DVD case.

“The Lord of The Rings.” I suggested because it gives us plenty of cuddle time and we both love the trilogy.

I know I am a bit of a nerd, but those are damn good movies!

He popped the first movie in and we grabbed paper plates with our food and a fork for my pasta, sat back and watched our movie.

About half way through the movie I started to get thirsty again and made myself another cup of o positive which seems to be my favorite with its rich iron flavor.

The blood and the food seem to help with my cravings. I wonder if mom would want to take me hunting tomorrow so I sent her a message to which she replied of course and we bid goodnight.

Come to think of it my period is late. I never had a boyfriend so I know that it is be Anthony’s baby.

“I think while I’m with mom tomorrow I will make sure to do a bit of shopping for our mating announcement tomorrow afternoon.” I told Anthony.

“It’s tomorrow?” He asked.

“Yes, mom and dad sent me a text telling me when we would be having it.” I said in return.

Once the first movie ended I could barely keep my eyes open so we decided to go to bed and leave the decisions for morning.

THE NEXT MORNING

“Anthony I’m going out to hunt with mom then we are going shopping for the mating announcement.” I called.

“Alright I’ll go spend the day with dad.” He replied.

We walked to our parents house and I knew that mom was gonna read me like a book. I needed to tell her because I knew she would keep this quiet.

When we got there mom was waiting for us outside.

Mom and I went to hunt. I have always heard about my siblings doing it but its unlike anything I have ever done. Racing through the trees and jumping over branches. My mother and I went to a small creek bed. We noticed a small panther pack and chose to attack we both grabbed one of the black felines by the neck and snapped it. I sucked mine dry while my mother was able to let hers go after just a few gulps.

“How’d you do that?” I questioned.

“Years of practice.” She laughed.

We walked back to their house and snuck in the back door so our mates wouldn’t have a conniption over how we looked.

I went up to my room and changed my clothes so we could go shopping for the mating announcement that was to take place this afternoon. I chose a pair of dark skinny jeans and a cream colored top along with a pair of high tops.

I heard a knock on my door “Are you ready dear?” My mother called.

“Yeah.” I said as I opened the door.

We got in my moms mustang and left to go to the mall.

When we got there my mother took me to a million dress shops and none of them were the right dress for the occasion. Until we went to Ross. I found a beautiful purple dress with jewels going across the chest with only one shoulder.
