The Alpha's Darkest Secret; His Daughter

Seeing Him Again

Saturday came rolling around quicker than I thought it would. Zavid, the foreign Alpha only came to speak with my Dad when I conveniently wasn’t in the house. He had been here two times since the last time I saw him and when I walked into the house his scent still lingered giving me chills whenever I inhaled. I started lighting incense in the house just to try to diffuse it away a bit so I could concentrate in my home. It was like he lived there, and just the thought gave my mind to many ideas. Today, I wasn’t expecting him to be coming as it was a Saturday but apparently, he scheduled a meeting with my Father later tonight. My heart couldn’t stop skipping beats at the thought I would finally see him again. My wolf stirred for days, crying out for her so called Mate. Yet, I tried to control my thoughts as best as I could, focusing on the night at hand. I went to the closet and picked out a few outfits to wear. I was never a dress type of woman, so I usually opted for pants and a shirt. I settled on a simple tight light blue jean with tearing in the front, and a long sleeve black body suit. The V-neck cut was low so it showed a good amount of cleavage, and the jeans showcased my figure nicely. I was proud to not be a stick, but rather have curves and muscle, even though I did tend to dress slightly modest at times. I decided for some open toed black sandals, and put my true effort into my makeup and hair. I guess this was a better time, if ever, to give myself a day of pampering.

I started with my shower, shaving my legs and arms, exfoliated my skin, while the Lush conditioner soaked into my hair. Once I was done with that lengthy process, which I was glad my Dad built in a ledge in the shower for me to sit on, I washed out the conditioner, inhaling to smell of lavender and coconut. After, I washed myself in my Rose body wash and let cold water flow over me, breathing in and thinking about pure thoughts. I tried to let all anger and sadness wash off me, it was something I always did when I showered as a way to truly feel clean. I left the shower, and put on my black robe walking back to my room.

“Ugh, blow dry? Or air dry?”, I thought to myself. Honestly, I was too lazy to blow dry so I towel dried it and let it hang to air dry. I did my usual face routine, and put on a pink romper.

As the hours passed, I played some Xbox, reminding them of our plans since I knew they liked to flake on me, and eventually got hungry enough to go downstairs. It was about 9 PM by that time, and was going to start on my makeup and hair after I ate, to be ready by 12. Walking downstairs I dished up some of the food Louisa made; Grilled Steak with mashed potatoes and veggies. Delicious! I grabbed a can of Sprite out the fridge and made my way to my Dad’s office where I knew he would be.

“Hey Dad!”, I said walking in and sitting down in the couch to eat.

“What brings you for a visit? Shouldn’t you be getting ready to go out?”, he asked, as he continued to type away.

“You’re such a cool Dad, almost like you’re kicking me out the house to go. But I think I can manage to be ready by 12 if I try hard enough.”

“I would rather you stay home, but I’m sure you can handle yourself. You need to see your friends, or I’m afraid you would go insane in the house. Also, I told Andrew to go as well.”

I nearly choked on my steak, “Wait what? And now you tell me?”

“I knew you would object to full blown body guards, so I choose someone who will both enjoy the evening with you if nothing goes wrong but also protect you if something does. You owe him as well; he did help you protect your friends.”

I knew he was right, and if he would have gotten one of the older wolves to protect me, I would have been annoyed.

“I guess. When were you planning on telling me anyhow?”

He smirked, “When he showed up at around 11:45.”

“Oh my God. Okay well guess he’s going with. Did you at least tell him to bring his girlfriend to keep him company?”

“It would be counterproductive wouldn’t you say, to have him be concerned about someone else? But seeming as she’s a wolf as well you can call him and tell him to bring her.”, he said giving it some thought.

I hated having people be inconvenienced with me, hence why I tried so hard at times to train, so when I needed body guards Dad let them usually be my age if it wasn’t a bad situation and I always tried to make them comfortable.

“I’m texting him. It’s almost 10, isn’t the Carolina Alpha supposed to be here?”

“He’s speaking with his own pack members back home according to him and there is more business to be dealt with than he thought. He’s still at the hotel according to the trackers I sent to watch him. He may be here after you leave, unfortunate of course.”

I knew he didn’t want me to meet this guy, if anything for the simple fact he was foreign. This guy really wasn’t making it easy on me, but if he never showed up and went back home then I wouldn’t have to deal with it. Truth is, as much as I wanted a mate, if I was mated to an Alpha I would most likely have to move to his territory. I desired to stay here, with my own pack, my Father, and the people I grew up with. If I mated to a lower level pack member I could easily just stay here and have him assimilate but an Alpha would never give up the pack and it wasn’t my Dad’s time to step down, meaning combining packs isn’t an option right now.

“I’m going to get ready then. Hopefully it doesn’t start raining tonight, the sky looks darker than usual.” I said looking out from the window behind the drapes.

“I sure hope it does.”

“Ah, see there’s the stereotypical Dad reasoning.”

 I went upstairs and began the long process of getting ready. I honestly could feel the mild storm in the air so decided to use all water prove makeup, and not be extravagant with my hair in case it got wet. I had to admit I had beautiful features already do to being supernatural, but makeup was still always a fun passion of mine. I went for a slightly heavy contour as I naturally had a bit of a plump face, bronzer, no blush, and highlighted with an iridescent highlighter. I used the bronzer as eyeshadow in my crease and added a winged liner, mascara and a skin tone liner in my water line to open up my eyes. I added a dark red, almost burgundy matte lipstick and sprayed setting spray finishing it off. For my hair I simply curled it in loose curls, added a shining serum to soften and make it glow then brushed the excess out. I loved when I was able to flip and play with my hair, and even a slightly messy look I loved. I lifted half my hair up into a bun and let the rest flow nicely, leaving some strands out in the front to give it a mess look. When done, I went to get dressed. I put on my black body suit with no bra, the jeans and added a light jacket to match the jeans and help if it did rain, and instead of sandals opted for flat slip on sneakers. I grabbed my small black backpack and added my usual gold jewelry and some rose and vanilla perfume. I was listening to music so when I finally turned it off, I could hear the slight mumble of voices.

“Ah, Andrew and Savina must be here.”

Thinking nothing of it I left my room, locked the door and the walked downstairs. I whipped out my phone to see if any of the boys had texted me since it was almost 12, and turns out they were about 10 minutes away. Then it hit me as I got to the staircase, the smell of mint and dew. I froze, it smelt of him, my so-called mate. He must have finally shown up to the meeting, but none of the other pack members were here. My Father must really trust him, or at least he thought he could take him. I had to see him, maybe it was all in my head maybe not but I made my feet move down the stairs. There I saw him. He was with the same two men from the last time I saw him. He was just as handsome, he was about the height of my Dad, but I could see he would still get taller in the future. He was wearing a simple black Adidas t-shirt that fit him nicely on top and flowed out a but on the bottom. He finished his look with black sweat pants and black converse. He wore the same Rolex, but lacked the chain this time., His casual style wasn’t obnoxious but it suited his young and professional vibe. My heart stopped, I looked at him like he was the only one there. I use to have dreams about running into someone’s arms, their hands around me and pulling me in. All I wanted was that at this moment, it’s like I could cry from wanting it so badly but I couldn’t have it. I noticed myself smiling, genuinely smiling which I hadn’t done in so long, and had to catch myself. I noticed he must have noticed me because he to froze, I could see his muscles under his shirt tense and he slowly turned to look at me. His eyes locking on mine. We stood there for a minute, the longest minute of my life.

“Mhm”, my Dad said clearing his throat.

“Aurora, I see you’re ready to go?”

I snapped out of the trance I was in.

“Yea. Uhm, sorry I thought Andrew and Sav were here. I can go back upstairs and wait.”

“No, need. Come, let me introduce you.”

Well, here goes nothing. I walked down the rest of the stairs and went to stand beside Dad, as I walked past him I could feel his eyes on me.

“This is my daughter Aurora.”

I didn’t know if I should hold on my hand and shake or what, he was young but he was also an Alpha so I decided to just smile.

Surprisingly he held out his hand for me, “Zavid.”

Without hesitation I lifted my hand and took his hand, and let me tell you I shouldn’t have done that. I felt the rush of an electric shock zing up from my arm. I felt the pressure of his hand on mine, squeezing and I knew he felt it was well since he stiffened. I wanted to just walk into his embrace, I wanted us to stay like this forever. I found myself wanting him to want me in return and fearing that he doesn’t feel the same way. He pulled away, and I looked back up at his eyes; they were turning amber. In one blink they changed back to the hazel and I could see specks of green in them now. They were beautiful.

“Nice to meet you Aurora.”, he said. I could tell he was struggling a bit to find the words, as if his mind was somewhere else.

“You too”, I replied smiling. It was real. This was real, but I couldn’t just shout out in front of my Dad that this foreign Alpha was most likely my Mate.

“You look very nice. Going anywhere special?”, he asked. I he was very focused on my eyes, trying hard to not look down at my cleavage showing.

“Yes actually. My friends and I are going to a local club called Bodega in the city. If you are the age you look, I’m sure you and your packmates would enjoy it one night as well while you’re here.”

“If we stay long enough, we may take you up on that offer. These are Chris my Beta, and Erick my Third.”

They both bowed their heads as their names was called and I smiled back at them, “Hi! Welcome to our home and I hope you guys enjoy what are city has to offer.”

“I would love to go out, but Alpha here keeps us on a tight leash.”, Erick said playfully. Zavid shot him a look, but I started laughing making him turn back to me and I could physically see him relax. Just then my phone buzzed, and a text appeared from Rafa.

We are here. Your friend Andrew and his girl are here too. Come outside.

“I’m sorry to leave so soon, but everyone his here including Andrew, Dad.”

“Alright, be careful and call if you need anything okay. Love You.”, my Dad told me, scuffing up my hair a bit.

“Dad! Stop!” I laughed. “I will. Sorry for leaving so soon, I hope he really does let you off the leash soon, there’s so much to do here.”

The two wolves laughed at that while Zavid rolled his eyes. As I walked past him to the front door, I turned to him and said, “Goodbye Alpha, hope to see you again.”.

I smiled and walked out the door towards the cars parked out front. I think I just met my Mate, and he’s actually sweet. I giggled to myself. I was becoming one of those girls drooling over a guy, I never thought that would be me. Yet even so, he could still reject me if he didn’t want me and there was nothing I could do in that case. I shook my head to get those thoughts out of my mind, until we mated, until he claimed me as his, I was still Me. Tonight I would enjoy myself and let all the stress of these last week’s float by, and tomorrow I would deal with everything.

“Hey! Right on time!”, I yelled to them as I walked up to Jaime’s car. Andrew and Savina were outside the windows talking to them.

They turned to me a smiled, “Hey Aurora! Whose car is that?”, Andrew asked me.

“The Alpha from up North. He’s here with his two packmates, they had a meeting planned with my dad."

"Really? Alone?", Savina asked?

"Yes, but I'm sure he will be fine. Come on it's getting late."

I got into the car with Jaime and David in the front and Rafa in the back. Andrew and Savina went in his own car and we all agreed to meet up at Bodega. I looked out the window into the darkness, thinking about him and how I would handle this. I suddenly felt Rafa's hand on top of mine, just resting it there. I looked towards him and smiled, it felt right to be with him. It didn't give me the same feeling, that tingling, as I had with Zavid earlier but it gave me so much comfort. This was going to be a bit more complicated, but I knew in my heart nothing with Rafa could be serious, but what if Zavid rejected me?
