The Hybrid and The Prince

Chapter 10

Alex's POV

The next morning

I woke up groaning as the sunlight beamed right at my face. "God I hate mornings" I grumbled as I rolled out of bed and headed into the bathroom to do my morning routine, and yes I'm aware I said I hate mornings, yet I still am getting ready at the ass crack of dawn. That's because I am also excited that I might meet my mate today! Thirty minutes later, I'm dressed and ready to go. I was lying in bed responding to missed messages while waiting for Ashton to wake up when my phone began ringing with an incoming call from mom, making me smile instantly.

[My baby how's Italy?] mom asked as soon as I answered.

[I don't know mom, we got in late so I guess we'll find out today] I answered her and from there we talked about everything, mostly how we think the meeting with my mate will go and I am so anxious as well as upset because I still haven't met him and it has been weeks. I am going crazy here waiting! Not long after, we ended the call with me promising to call as soon as I met my mate. Ashton wakes up complaining that he hates mornings, see it's not just me. I play a game on my phone while Ashton gets ready and, thankfully, he doesn't take long and we are on our way to the first pack on the list.

"So do you think we'll meet our mates?" Ashton asks, glancing over at me.

"No, I'm starting to think I'll never find him", I confess, resting my head against the window.

"No way you don't get to lose hope, not after the little pep talk you gave me about finding my mate" he scolds, giving me the side eye.

"I'm sorry this is just a lot for me. I'm not like you. Your mate will be lucky to have you, but me, I'm just a sad miserable human". I vent out how I feel.

"Alex, that's not true. You have a lot of great qualities that anyone would be lucky enough to be your mate". Ashton tries giving me a pep talk.

"Thanks Ashton..but there's something I need to tell you", I confessed to him, opting to look out the window instead.

"Okay.." he trails off waiting for me to continue.

I tell him everything that mom and dad told me about what I am, who my mate is, and what my true destiny is. Once I finished, I couldn't even bring myself to look at him, so instead of looking at him I chose to look down at my hands wringing them, neverously.

"Uh..are you serious?" Ashton asks, shocked.

"Yes, and apparently I need to find my mate in order to get my powers back. I know its crazy but it's the truth", I tell him, finally having the courage to look him right in the eyes.

"Okay then let's go find your mate" he says, looking completely serious, making it my turn to be shocked.

"You believe me?" I asked him.

" You're my brother, of course, I believe you. Now come on, we have a lot of packs to get through today" he says, getting out of the car as we arrived at the first pack and were sitting in the car while I told him everything. I follow Ashton out of the car and we head to the pack house where four people are waiting for us.

"Hi and welcome to the Fire Moon Pack. I'm Beta Andrew, this is my mate Kyla and these ladies are the gamma females Lexi and Mia" Beta Andrew introduces the pack leaders except for the Alpha.

"Hi, I'm Ashton and this is my older brother Alex. I believe our father, Alpha Dallas, reached out to you about why you were here" Ashton greets them back while I wave awkwardly.

"Of course you are both looking for your mates, correct?" Gamma Lexi spealsthis time at least I think that's who it was.

"Yes, we just need to walk through, if that's not too much trouble, we don't want to intrude more than we already are", I told her.

"Nonsense finding your mate is a big deal and were more than happy to help" Beta Kyla answers

"If you don't mind me asking where is your Alpha?" Ashton questions

"He had a meeting and since he couldn't reschedule he sent me back to greet you in his absence", Beta Andrew tells us.

"Come in we'll show you around". I believe it was gamma Mia who spoke this time.

" Thank you" Ashton and I said simultaneously as we entered the pack house. It was beautifully decorated with a very natural light color scheme, very open lovely is the word I would use to describe it.

"Have you eaten yet?" Beta Kyla asks

"No to, nervous" I answered as we continued the walk from the living room to what I assumed was the dining room s***h kitchen and past that they, took us through another door and the scene that welcomed us was not what I was expecting at all.

"MINE"
