It’s Just Nature

Chapter 2 - Seeing Him

“He’s here,” Demitrey mind linked me.

I stood still as a result of the news. It landed me a punch in the face. Oh s**t, I thought, coming to realisation I was still in combat battle. Why did that old man have to send important information at wrong times? He was such a nuisance.

“ Stop!” I shouted to my opponent before she could land another hit on me. I stood up and turned the audience whom had been watching, “ I have just been informed that the alpha, who has been seeking a mate, has arrived.” I announced while wiping blood from my split lip. A murmur spread throug the crowd, whispering about the visiting alpha.

“ Rumour has it that he secretly runs all the packs in North America,” I heard one of the girls say to the other.

“ I heard that he’s the strongest alpha there is, not to mention he is gorgeous,” another girl chimed in, giggling at the added comment

“Someone told me that he killed an entire ‘pack’ of rouges.”

“Apparently he has been to all the other packs in search of a mate and our pack is the last.”

As much as I wanted to hear the gossip, Demitry mind linked me to hurry up as the Lunar was going to be there. I hated how I had to play mom in this situation.“Everyone!” I shouted, stopping all the chatter. “ We have to go over to the main hall to meet the visiting alpha.”

All the girls walked towards the exit gate on the oval. You could sense the rising hopes of all of them as they each daydreamed the alpha would pick her as his lunar. While following the crowd to the hall I smiled as I reminisced about the dream I had about him. It’s definitely sign, I thought.

==============================

The mainhall was full as the last pack female arrived. I forgot how small this hall was compared to the pack house’s gym could fit double the people in here. We were all talking when our pack lunar, Lucy Meyer, appeared on the stage. She was in her early twenties but you could see a grey streak of stress in her brown hair. “Stop talking,” she commanded using her lunar tone. This immediately silenced the whole hall.

“ As you may have known, the alpha of the Red Moon pack is here to find his mate. You are all here because of you haven’t found your mate yet.” Lucy explained. She turned his head to the side of the stage. Everyone turned their heads as well, hoping to catch the first glimpse of the almighty alpha. He appeared slowly, walking to the center of the stage. I saw the same dominating appearance and almost curly brown hair that was in my dream but this time I could see his face. His eyes were honey coloured in his hooded eyelids which was brought out by his dark soft-angled eyebrows. He had a Greek nose and full lips that helped show his high bone structure. All his features were pulled together perfectly with his square jawline. This alpha was gorgeous. If he was intimidated by the hundreds of eyes staring at him, he didn’t show it.

“That’s Ethan Black,” I heard someone whisper.

“Mate,” my wolf shouted in my head.

Ethan looks around, his eyes landing on me. A warmth fills my heart as he stares at me. He smiles, flashing his pearly white teeth which made my legs wobble. He turns his head and nods to our lunar. Lucy’s eyes open widely in triumph.“ Make way for the Red Moon alpha,” she commands in her lunar voice. Ethan hops off the stage and walks directly to me. This is actually it, I thought as he walks towards me. Everyone parts for him, I hear disappointed sighs as they do. He reaches me and I stand there looking lovingly at my mate, my alpha. We lock eyes for a second before his expression turns sour.

“ Move,” he orders, causing my whole world to shatter.
