Alpha Loreign

Ch 12 Reign's POV

Jan brought coffee to Nessa and me while the White Oak alpha and beta were getting their things together. I overheard my dad saying they would be on the 3rd floor and that Jan would show them to their rooms.

“Jan you can go ahead and do whatever you need to, Nessa and I will take care of White Oak.” I said and Jan smiled, meanwhile Nessa had a look of curiosity about her.

“Thank you Alpha, you know how to reach me if you need me.” Jan said before turning to leave.

Once Jan was gone, Nessa could no longer wait to know what I was thinking, “What’s up?” she asked.

“I think that beta Ryan is my mate, but I want to see him closer to be sure, I won’t feel the mate bond until tomorrow, but I want to see if he does. I need to observe him, or more specifically see if he tries to observe me.

The elevator door opens, and I can tell that we have caught the two of them off guard. Cole just seems irritated, and Ryan is staring at me like I was the last girl on earth.

“Hello, alpha, beta,” I says politely as if I didn’t notice their demeanors.

“Hello,” says Cole with an irritated smile.

“Follow me please,” I instruct and begin walking away. I stop in front of a set of double doors and open them, “This here will be your room Alpha Cole, I heard from someone that your favorite color was green, so I personally added green touches to make you feel at home, please enjoy,” I say half expecting a smart remark.

“Thank you,” he said and walked into his room, I nod, and Vanessa and I turn to lead Ryan to his room next door.

“I wasn’t sure what color you liked so I just did blue and yellow which are our pack colors,” I say as sweetly as possible hoping he will say or do something to indicate my presence was affecting him.

“It’s perfect,” he said flashing me a beautiful smile.

I smiled back to him and then excused myself and walked away with Vanessa, “So what’s the verdict,” she asks me with a big smile, and I can’t help but laugh at her excitement.

“He’s definitely the one I saw in my dream,” I say and then the realization hits me that this guy could really be my mate and I start thinking maybe I am crazy for not just dropping everything to learn more about him.

It’s almost like Nessa can read my mind because we stop in the middle of the hallway and she turns to face me, “Go and talk to him,” she says.

“But-”

“No buts,” she says. “I’m not saying go mate with him or mark him. What I am saying is spend the day with him, talk to him and learn what you can about him. Best case scenario he is your mate, and you get some seriously needed alone time before you are thrown into your role of alpha and you learn things about him. Worst case scenario he isn’t your mate, and you make a good friend in a neighboring pack that will become alpha if his alpha doesn’t have an heir.”

I think for a few minutes before nodding, “you’re right Nessa, I need to go talk to him. Will you be okay alone?”

“Of course, now go. If I need you, I can mind link for whatever.” She says and I smile and turn back and head toward beta Ryan’s room.

I knock on Ryan’s door and the butterflies in my stomach flutter wildly when I hear the knob turn. The door opens and Ryan smiles widely and looks me up and down.

“Hello little red, can I help you with something?” Ryan asks while leaning casually on the door frame.

“May I come in? I need to talk to you, though it might sound crazy.” I reply.

“I suppose,” he says and moves so that I can pass through the doorway he then closes the door and together we walk to the bed and sit next to each other. “Alright spill,” he says.

“I don’t know how to put this into words without telling you what my dad would rather keep secret.” I explain knowing that there might be consequences, “But I have to ask you to swear to keep this a secret.”

“I swear, this stays between you and I.” He says assuring me and takes my hand into his, I assume to try to comfort me.

“Okay,” I say and take a deep breath, “I think you are my mate, but I won’t know for sure until tomorrow though I am sure that you know. Before you ask you should know that I have visions and I can’t really explain them but-” he cut me off.

“Reign, it’s okay, I will tell you that I know you are my mate. I could smell your sweet aroma while standing outside, but I also don’t expect you to trust that without feeling it yourself. I understand you feeling compelled to come talk to me because of your visions.” He paused smiling at me, “So where do you want to go from here?” Ryan asks.

“I want to know you,” I reply with a small smile feeling joyful tears prick in my eyes. I was feeling extremely grateful to him for being so understanding of what I was looking for. Because of this I now found myself hoping with everything in me that he really would be my mate.
