My female mate? ♥️

POV 5: RED

4 hours later

______________

QUICK RECAP:

(Okay. It's been four hours since the guests where checked in for the night, and I'm still annoyed. It didn't take long for me to find my luna to have a quick word after my not so exciting shopping trip. I just hope my Luna will hear my out so I can find out what we're doing about the situation)

...................

...................

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY LETTING THIS HAPPEN!? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!?"

My discussion didn't start so well, I believe my anger got the better of me this time...

But I was livid... I couldn't believe what had just happened. What I just saw.

I had finally managed to corner Luna Saffron in her study, after I had just spent the last four hours on a stupid shopping trip looking for a stupid dress in the pouring rain!

"THIS IS FOUR HOURS WASTED, WHEN I COULD HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH MY PAPERWORK. THIS IS FOUR HOURS DOWN THE DRAIN. BECAUSE OF SOMETHING YOU ALLOWED"!

I was wasting any more time. She didn't look fazed at all...

"My my" she chuckled softly, her body language completely unresponsive to me "I don't think I've seen

this fire in you in since you first arrived here Red"

My blood was boiling, my mind was racing... Was this woman honestly trying to provoke me!?

"They set fire to somebody's property..."

I clenched my teeth, as I could feel Razor trying to push herself out. I knew I needed to calm down quickly... She was not a welcome guest.

"So how have they now gone from prisoners... To guests"!?

She was calmly signing some papers while I was stood there point blank yelling at her.

"They apologised. The issue is done"

......

......

......

Oh no.

"THATS IT!?!?!?"

(too late)

"THEY APOLOGIZED!?!?"

Razor was shifting out, ripping my tank top with her claws!

"THEY DESTROY A PROPERTY AND THEY GET REWARDED FOR IT!?"

I tried to hold her back, but even I couldn't stop her! My hands began to retract their claws.

"My Luna" I pleaded, I reached her through a mind link while desperately looking at her, I couldn't shift. Razor was pushing me to the back of her mind.

"Help! Please.. "

Without any ounce of concern, she placed her pen down and gave me a genuine nod. "Don't worry, hang in there.."

.........

I didn't even need to ask, as an Enormous golden wolf had formed itself right in front of my eyes. Her enormous white teeth bared right next to my neck...

"DON'T MAKE ME FINISH WHAT YOU START PUP!"

It's loud voice boomed around the entire room, scaring me and Razor straight out of our skin! She didn't dare move. She didn't dare question. She was frozen...

"STAND DOWN AND SUBMIT!!! THATS AN ORDER!!"

The Luna's wolf Zira had come to the surface , and it didn't take very long for my wolf to submit... Against her will, I began to shift back, her fur was vanishing as I came back to reality.

"Thankyou" I breathed a sigh of relief. I never liked getting Zira involved, but she really is the only one who can force my wolf to stop everything.... She held a great power that I didn't.

"I'm sorry.. Luna, I didn't mean for that to escalate-"

"It's alright" Zira had already shifted back, and the Luna had gently placed her pen on her folder

"Your wolf has a very strong spirit. Too strong for even her to control"

With that Razor growled in response. I quickly had to shove her to the back of my mind before she tried anything again. "She is right you know" I snapped. Razor paid no attention to me.

"But why are you doing this? It doesn't make any sense" I asked my Luna, I was still really angry over the decision regardless of my wolf "They shouldn't even be here, let alone invited"

The Luna rose from her chair and placed her hands gently on my cheeks. Her hands were very warm.

"Red. You do understand who the Firehearts are don't you?"

Um..

I tried to think back, but had no recollection. Not since the database came up blank anyway.

"I do not my Luna no"

She removed her hands from my face, and began to walk over to an old painting she had on her wall. It was a picture of two werewolves in a battle of blood.

"The Firehearts are the oldest werewolf bloodline In the world"

I remained silent, I was processing the story once again. It was the Thornmoore against the Fireheart. The first Thornmoore won a great battle to stop the corruption of the werewolf blood that resided in the Fireheart. We wiped out the enemy....

"So you're saying... They are the Fireheart?... THE Fireheart... That we wiped out centuries ago"?

Luna Saffrons eyes confirmed everything, and she nodded for confirmation. I could feel my blood pressure spiking again...

"So we've just allowed an old enemy into our pack... And set them free with no punishment... That's what you're telling me? And they're now out there wondering free...like no big deal"?

Her eyes remained on me, as if ready to strike at any given minute. I could feel Razor snapping inside me at the thought of a traitor on our pack lands...

"The Fireheart did die out centuries ago" The luna explained.

I watched as she pulled out a very old looking book from her private chest, she flicked it open.

"In the very beginning. When humanity had touched the earth for the very first time. The moon goddess had created the creatures of the fall. Adding to the population of earth, and bringing a new existence of life and meaning before the other gods of creation. But along that journey she had also created a hybrid potential...

She not only created a wolf of every breed... She also created a gift. A gift that could be shared not only with nature. But with humanity itself. Crossing its DNA together to create an ultimate lifeform, the form of a beast and man.

The gods did not favour this gift. As everything was as it should be. So the potential was put aside, as humanity remained as the superior species above all of creation, and thrived on earth as we know it.

After two centuries, during a great war, a man by the name, of Nikolas Fireheart. A great knight of the imperial army. Had a lust for great power. A power so strong, that the armies would fear him. The people would obey him. The king would reward him. And a gift could mould him. Power, strength and abilities, the wars would stop in the presence of such strength. So he sought out to discover the hidden secrets of such knowledge... And in his travels, soon discovered the communication call of the grey wolf, howling at the moon. His spirit awakened inside him, he watched this graceful creature share it's call upon the one object nobody knew about.

And he was Intrigued by this display. The young Fireheart began talking up to the moon, and discussed his inner desires to the moon goddess who he had suddenly connected with naturally, she would reply back to his choices and ideas, the possibility of stopping all wars and destruction. It was then decided through the vote of the other gods. That the moon goddess could grant her gift. And bestow it on the young man. On condition he only used his abilities with great respect for the rest of the living beings. No being was to lose its purpose due to the greatness that was to come of this gift, Nikolas agreed to the terms, and decided to make an oath there and then with the moon goddess. His gift, would bring nothing but peace. And new beings to the earth.

Within two weeks, Fireheart had already won every victory, across every country, with every king. His power only bought peace and happiness amongst the lands. And he began to taste the sweetness of glory, and as many chanted his name. In time he began to breed, sharing his DNA with other humans, creating more beings with the wolf blood like himself. Two wimen successfully created two wolf children. The others all died, miscarried, and suffered. Seeing this only made Nikolas angry... He then decided humanity had no purpose being labelled a superior species. And started to strike them off the earth. One by one.

His sight only bought death and destruction to all of humanity. Nobody stood a chance against his strength. The innocent died and the fools paid the price. His appetite grew, for the taste of human flesh. He soon decided humanity, was only good for one thing.

Eventually the fear had spread too far. Humanity lost its faith after fighting to live for so long. Many became cattle. Others became targets. But one, one was still hiding, and one was still hopeful. His name. Was Zialas Thornmoore.

Late one night after a failed rescue attempt, he snuck out to the hills and requested an emergency meeting. The full moon was up, so he spoke to the moon goddess, and prayed for the lives of his people. For freedom once more. But the moon goddess was full of wrath, her gift became a curse. And the gods could not allow anymore problems to happen. No good could come down from the moon goddess, as she was now labelled as a curse amongst humanity.

In a final bid. Zialas pleaded once more and offered himself before the moon goddess, he offered himself as second chance. Requesting the same gift. And offering a final statement. That no Thornmoore after him would be bred, only the chosen could receive the gift. He would sacrifice his own human flesh to receive the gift, and put a stop to Fireheart once and for all. Bringing back the glory of humanity and winning the praise of all the gods. Clearing the moon goddesses gift, and bringing back a new nation of communal living amongst all living beings.

After a great debate. It was done. And Zialas Thornmoore was blessed that day with the same gift.

Soon after, a great battle was issued, Zialas had taken an obsidian blade that he carved himself, he plastered it with the blood of the grey wolf. And he won the moon goddesses aprais. The fight continued for 4 years, until finally he struck down Fireheart. Ending his reign once and for all.

Humanity was restored. And Zialas had kept to his word. The moon goddess made a pact with the other gods that no more shall receive the gift of the pure blood wolf. Unless chosen and mated to the Thornmoore alone. Zialas took reign for many years, and welcomed many more of wolf kind after humanity started to grow again.

Many more became werewolves. But only one kind is pure. This is the gift of the moon goddess. This is the reminder of the great battle. On the night of the victory. Was the pure blood moon. The blood moon soon to become a representation of the moon goddess, to find our fated mates no matter what. No waiting, no wondering.

When we took victory of Firehearts defeat. The moon goddess blessed us with the pure blood of the werewolf, making us the only pure bloodline in the world. But when it was discovered Fireheart had impregnated two others before his death, his bloodline still continued on, living to this day, The first werewolf may have began with the Firehearts. But the pure bloodline had died along with nikolas"

The book was shut and the story was finished. The Luna placed the book back into her chest.

......

......

My mind was already blown.

Wow. Just wow...

Just like that my brain was fried...

After that entire rant I just had, I now had to remind myself of why I was mad in the first place.

"The Firehearts have bred on for years" The Luna continued, gently stroking the chest "Two babies were born from Nikolas Fireheart. One baby survived, the other one perished"

I looked up at the picture once again. To see the two werewolves fighting it out. It was a lot to process.. And magnificent to recognise...

"The final generation of Firehearts. Are in this castle, right now"

"So... Hang on, let me get this right"

I hoped I could get this right....

"...they were the original pure blood, but now they're not... Because they're genetically mutated with humans like other werewolves"?

So they were normal mixed blooded werewolves?

"That's correct" The Luna nodded. "Until now, we had refused all contact possible, as did my ancestors before.... But when Alpha Desmond told us you had asked about the Firehearts pack, We knew we had no choice but to come back quickly and promptly"

It definitely makes sense.

So that's why they returned... It was more critical than I thought.

"So why are they still here then"?

I replied, slowly feeling the same burn up that I did before "because I locked up their daughter"....

"And now were pretending to be friends now?"

Luna Saffron gazed at me, her sliver eyes were glowing brightly, we were silent for a minute...

I needed my answer.

"Perhaps" She mumbled gently... My attention was sealed as I analysed her face all over, every feature possible... Something wasn't right. Luna Saffron was definitely hiding something from me... She had to be.

"But it's time we put that history back in the past where it belongs" she quickly picked up her paperwork and took it over to her dressing table. In her words the conversation was now over.

"We can always hold on for a better future, but we cannot hold onto the past. A grudge only lives as long as you let it, remember"?

I shifted uncomfortably, knowing full well that was a dig at me "Yes Luna" I muttered ungratefuly...

I hated getting that lecture....

"Good" She smiled, I could tell she was relieved "I know you can live a happy life Red.. I only wish for you to find your peace"

The Luna suddenly received a knock on the door

"Enter"

Not even a second passed and a group of omegas ran in excitedly holding a wrapped up ball gown.

"Your majesty! it just arrived!"

"Wonderful, let's get to work!"

The Luna was straight at her table applying her make up. The omegas were getting her dressing stool ready.

"It's time to get ready!" She called to me "Make sure your in the ballroom before I come down"

What? She wasn't serious.

"My Luna, I'm on the night patrol tonight, I can't suddenly give notice last minute to cover!"

It was true, I had signed up for the night shift four weeks ago due to Tom lacking his vitiman D... There was no chance I was going to make it to the ball... I hoped anyway.

"I've already swapped that shift. tonight, you will be having a night off" her eyes quickly met mine in her mirror "As you failed to have last night off it's the least you can do for me"

Oh man. She knew.

I wanted to protest, but I didn't want to argue. Not twice in the same day. "Yes Luna, I'll be there"...

I bowed my head, and watched her smile grow wider in her reflection.

"Wonderful" she beamed "I look forward to seeing you, you may take your leave now" she finished.

I bowed again, and made my way out the study, leaving everyone extremely excited behind that door....

Unluckily for me the door slammed, as I couldn't contain all of my frustration I'm one go. I was pissed...

"Uuuuuuuunbelievable"

My body was shaking. Everything just happened in one go, all of this... Just happened within two days... And I wasn't okay.

I was not okay.

I sighed, pressed my back up against the wall and covered my face with my hands. I didn't feel good at all... If I was capable of crying then I would've done it by now.

"I'm expected to attend this ball, with all of my paperwork stacking up high" there was no way I was getting that done anytime soon.

I need a miracle..

"AHH there you are!"

------------------------------------------

POV ALEX:

This was the day.

This WAS the day.

Today's the day! Say it with me!

"Today's... The day"

I stared at my reflection glossing my teeth with my tongue. I was finally ready.

Damn I looked good!

Minus the nerves of course I was definitely gunna pull this off. A had to...

Because I want her to say yes..

I began to spray myself with aftershave and applied some hair gel to my hair. This was the night I had to look my best! The very best.

"Getting dolled up again Ken?"

Jenson and I shared a room in the barracks, so it was almost impossible to ever have any alone time. "Not now" I muttered... I really had to stay focused, My hair was splitting.

"Come on, who's the bird?" He crept up behind me and pretended to kiss my neck, I cracked up! "Seriously dude, get lost!"

I loved this guy

"Look I can't tell you yet, it's a surprise, she may not even be there"

He was already dressed up and ready to go. He could fit a tux quite nicely.

"Oh come on, you don't have to be shy around me, what's she like?"

I just smiled to myself. What was she like?...

Well for starters, she was drop dead beautiful..

She had amazing strength, and skill... And a can do attitude.

She was domineering at times.

She was kind.... Caring.... Serious...

Dreamy...

............

Okay yeah my mind began to get carried away...

"Look if ya ain't gonna tell me now, at least let me see her with you later then" Jenson laughed. He snapped me straight out of my dream. And back to my hair.

"Oh don't worry" I laughed confidently, I definitely wasn't going to show my nerves around this guy.... But it's all good because nothing will go wrong.

... She'll be there... With me....

I hope..

----------------------------------------

(Palace)

I walked around the palace hoping I would have bumped into her by now. She was usually patrolling around this time, or at least training in the combat room with the other guards..

Either way It was impossible to see her with so many staff around!

"Hi Alex" Vanessa the maid cooed from the staircase.

(I could tell she had the hots for me)

"Hey" I grinned, making her fidget hard. Man I loved making a girl nervous. "Don't suppose you've seen Red anywhere have you?"

Her eyes shot up to the door of the Luna's study "She's in there" She giggled "But I think they're having a bit of a fall out"

Fall out?

Sure enough as I started to make my way up I could hear quite alot of shouting.

"THEY DESTROY A PROPERTY AND THEY GET REWARDED FOR IT!?"

.....

Damm that girl is straight the point. It seriously made me feel a little bit turned on...

"STAND DOWN PUP!!! NOW!!!"

Moment gone...Luna Saffron had the last say.

I waited around the door for ages fidgeting with my pockets... What would I say? What was I going to say!?

I checked my watch, making sure It was on the right time. I've never been so nervous before. My head was starting to spin...

"Hey!"

The female prisoner suddenly appeared and was running down the hallway towards me. I didn't care too much about her... I didn't have time.

"How can I help?" I asked, trying to stay polite... She was looking me over... She blatantly likes me...

"I just wondered if you had a spare tie at all? My friend lost his earlier"

I couldn't help but notice how gorgeous this girl was, in that short blue dress, Her golden long hair, her make up... She kind of reminded me of a girl in one of my magazines...

"Uhh... Sure, sure!" I took off my tie and passed it to her "Here, I don't need it"

She hesitated to take it "Are you sure?" she giggled "You were just wearing it"

"I'm sure, It's yours!" I finished the conversation quickly as I eagerly waited for that door to open any second. I think the girl clocked on. "Okay" She smiled walking away "Good luck with your date"

My date...

MY DATE?

That sounded so weird! Why is that so weird!?

My heart began thumping against my chest. Something about that word has triggered something within me.

"My date... Oh wow"

I was beginning to sweat nervously. What if she said no. How could I play it off... What if she's not interested!?

You got to try!

You can't turn back now!

It's too late!!!!

"Yes Luna"

oh shit...

I quickly darted down the corridor and hid around the corner, I can't do this. I can't do this!

"Oh wow you suck at this!" The female prisoner was watching me the whole time giggling her head off!

"What? Why you here"!?

I feel so embarrassed

I'm a total ass

"Look, is this someone you really like I'm guessing?"

I could tell by her expression she actually seemed genuine. I nodded.

"Yeah... Shes a girl I've liked for ages.. But.."

I heard the study door open and shut, I quickly peaked around the corner and saw she was just standing there with her face covered and... Her shirt was ripped. OH MY GODDESS!

"LOOK, come here" The girl pulled me back and straightened out my suit, "just go over there and ask her to the ball, if she says no, you go as friends, if she says yes then you have that possibility of getting laid. There's no loss in this right?"

My eyes widened at that last comment. But she just smirked "Oh come on, I know what you guys are like, now get out there!"

With that she shoved me around the corner in plain view.. I couldn't take my eyes off of Red... Okay, Okay. Breath.

I gradually approached her, taking every step as slow as I could.

"Hey! there you are!"
