Alexander’s POV *That morning* Sitting in my office going over the training summit schedule, there is a knock on my door. My name is Alexander Santo, Alpha of Bloody Hollow pack. I am 6’6” with shoulder-length brown hair with gray eyes. My father decided to step down two years ago and handed me the title. It feels like I have everything… except my mate. I have been looking for her for three years now and no luck. The elders suggested I take a chosen mate but I shot that idea down. No one but my mate will be my Luna. “Come in,” I say to whoever is on the other side of my door. I look up to see Oliver, my temporary Beta, walk in. “Hey, Xan! How’s it going with the Summit plans?” He asks taking a seat in the chair in front of my desk. “Good, but we don’t have enough trainers for 500 wolves. I don’t know how we can manage this without any fighting,” I tell him and sigh. It was a good idea at first, but now it’s just a pain in the ass. “What if I told you I could help out with that?” Oliver said, smiling mischievously. “I would tell you to not keep me in suspense. What’s your idea?” Now I’m intrigued. Oliver is the next Royal Beta so his idea must be big. “What if I called my uncle and asked him to send us his training team? My cousin is now Head Trainer and the best they have,” as he says this I could see the pride in his eyes when he mentioned his cousin. If this cousin is the best in the Royal pack then he must be a damn good fighter. “Okay, give him a call and make the request. Also, see if they could stay an extra two weeks to train our warriors one-on-one. Let me know what the verdict is when you find out,” I tell him as I get back to my work. Five minutes go by and he hasn’t moved to leave to make the call. Looking up at him I see his eyes are glazed over showing he is mindlinking someone. A few minutes later his eyes clear up and smiles. “He said they will be leaving in a few hours. He just has to tell my cousin so the team is ready.” “Great. Will you ask Linda to prepare them rooms on the Royal floor? Also, tell her to make sure they have everything they will need and snacks.” He heads out of my office to go find Linda to prepare for the arrival of the Royal Pack team. My wolf, Arthur, starts pacing in my head. “What’s up, Arty?” “Something is about to happen. I can feel it,” he responds as he paces. “Like what, Arty? Do I need to ready the warriors?” I ask getting worked up. I don’t need an attack to happen right now with the Training Summit about to start. “No, not Rogues. Something is coming and our life will change,” he responds before retreating to the back of my mind. Something life-changing... I wonder what he means by that. I brush it off and go back to the plans. I have 4-5 hours until they arrive to get it done. *** “Alpha, they are passing through the gate,” Oliver links me. “Okay, I’ll be out shortly. I’m finishing up as we speak,” I link back. Just as I’m finished, someone knocks on my door. “Come in.” The door opens to reveal a blonde she-wolf who is dressed in little to no clothing. You can just tell she has no self-respect with her outfit basically showing all of her assets. “Alpha Alexander, my name is Allison Anderson. I’m from Silver Moon pack. I heard you were stressed and wanted to come help you relax,” the girl named Allison says in what she must think is seductive but sounds more like she’s dying. There is a reason I don’t mess with these types of she-wolves. All they want is power and money not giving a care to whoever gets hurt along the way. “No thank you, Allison,” I politely say. “I’m not interested. If you will, please leave. I am needed elsewhere.” I walk to the door when she grabs my arm, pressing her chest to my body while licking her lips. “We can be quick, Alpha. I’m ready to go as we speak.” Disgusted by this, I gently push her away from me. I’m still a gentleman and don’t want to hurt her. “I said no thank you. Please leave so I can lock up.” I hear a girl yell “OLLIE!” outside the window followed by laughter. “John, are you outside? What was that?” I link my head warrior. “Yes, Alpha. A female that came with the Royal pack just tackled Beta Oliver. She seems happy to see him,” John links back. I didn’t know there were female warriors in the Royal pack. That’s a new one. I look at the she-wolf that is still undressing me with her eyes and walk to the door for her to leave. As soon as I opened the door, the most heavenly scent hit my nose. The vanilla and strawberry scent has Arty jumping around in my head in excitement. “Mate is here! Go find her!” He practically shouts at me. I look around the hall and find her towards the foyer walking this way and let me tell you. This woman is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. When our eyes collide, we both say “Mate”. I go to walk to her when that Allison chick comes out and clings to me. I see hurt flash in my mates eyes then she turns around to head back to the group of people by the stairs. What threw me off was everyone, including Oliver, was sending me angry glares. She must have linked them something because they quickly turn their heads towards her in shock but got angry again. They surround her to where I can’t see her anymore and head upstairs with Oliver. I need to talk to her and explain what happened. “Nice going, i***t,” Arty seethes. “Go find our mate and explain. You better hope she forgives us.” I look at the girl clinging to me and release my aura to make her realize she messed up. “Let go of me and get out of my sight. If you come near me again, you will not like what happens next.” She shows her neck in submission and turns around running down the hallway. I make my way to the Royal floor which is the very top floor of the pack house. I stop when I hear an angry voice from the top of the stairs. “We need to talk,” Oliver states as anger rolls off him in waves. “Let’s go to my office,” I say as I head back down. When we get to the office, he slams the door shut so hard the walls shake. “What the hell, Alexander? Do you even know what you just did?” He shouts at me. Normally Alphas get angered when people talk to them like this and see it as a challenge. However, Oliver is next in line to be the Royal Beta so he is above me in rank. “I honestly don’t know. That Allison chick came in here trying, and failing miserably, to seduce me but I said no. When I opened the door I got the scent of my mate. When our eyes met, everything stopped. Time, sound, even my breathing. Then that chick tried once more and it pissed me off to see my mate hurt,” I tell him pulling at my hair in frustration. “You could have removed her from you as soon as it happened but you didn’t. Now, my cousin is upstairs thinking that she is not good enough for her second chance mate.” Oliver is almost screaming at me now. Did he just say second chance mate? “She is good enough for me. I fell in love with her at first sight, Oliver. Wait.. did you say she’s your cousin? Also, what do you mean I’m her second chance mate?” I question him. No wonder she looked so defeated when she walked away. That would also explain why I received death glares from the Royal Pack team. “You are her second chance mate because her first mate rejected her immediately after she found him. The answer to the other question is yes. She’s my cousin. She is the one I told you about who is the Head Trainer of the Royal Army. That girl has been through a lot and I won’t stand to see her hurt again. I will also warn you once. If you sleep with anyone before rejecting her, you will regret it.” At the end of his speech, his tone was low and dangerous. “I won’t ever reject her. I want to mark and mate her. To lead by me and grow old together. I need to talk to her and ask for forgiveness. Will you help me?” I ask him. I’m on the verge of getting on my knees and begging for his help. Alphas don’t do that for anyone except the King and Queen but I’ll do it for my mate. He thinks for a moment and finally says, “Okay. I will help you. Don’t make me regret it.” “Thank you, Oliver. I really appreciate it,” I say with a smile. He is thinking about something from the look on his face. “Hold up. Did you say that the girl's name was Allison?” “Yes. Allison Anderson from the Silver Moon pack,” I tell him confused. “s**t!” He exclaims breathing heavily. “Why? What’s wrong?” I’m so confused as to how he knows her. “She is the she-wolf who made Mal’s life hell and took her first mate from her,” he grits out through clenched teeth. “But why was she here trying to seduce me if she already has a chosen?” I ask. “Exactly my point,” he storms out of my office leaving me there confused. On the bright side, I found out my beautiful mate's name is Mal. A beautiful name for a beautiful woman. All I can think is, what just happened?
