*CIEL POV*
It's been a rough week but its finally my birthday. I say rough because mister delicious has been trying to find out more about me. Yes, I still call him mister delicious. I have yet to find out his name. It is for the best that I don't get involved.
I love that he wants to know more about me, but I can't let him. I want to wait for my Fated Mate. I need to wait for my Fated Mate. Otherwise, my father will have me mate with someone else.
My father let me have Kelsey spend the night everyday this weekend. I dont know how I would have survived if she wasn't here. She is the bestest best friend anyone could ask for.
"Are you excited for your party soon?" Kelsey asks.
"As excited as I will ever be Kells." I reply honestly.
"What's wrong fluffy?" She asks as I turn towards my vanity.
"I just don't have any clue as to what is going to go on Kells. My father and mother want an alliance out of this I can guarentee. I have no doubt in my mind that my father and some other Alpha have already made some sort of arrangement between their kid and me. I have done everything I can to find my Fated Mate and yet my role as daughter to the Alpha is to become Luna and help bring my pack stronger allies. I just want my mate. I want to know what true love is like. I want to experience what most people dream of." I sigh and look at her through the mirror, "Kells, whatever happens tonight, please know I will always protect you. Also please stay by my side. I can protect you better that way."
"Wolfie, I was already planning on it. Don't worry. I will stay as close to you as possible." She says hugging me.
*************************
As we are finishing up, I hear a knock on my door.
"Come in!" I shout.
I hear the door open and footsteps coming closer. I turn around and see my oldest brother, Solomon.
"Dad wanted me to tell you to hurry up. He is worried you will be late to your own party." Solomon says as he is laughing.
"Tell dad I am on my way down." I reply while smiling.
I watch him walk out before turning to Kelsey. She smiles at me and walks closer. I smile back and nod to her. As she links her arm with mine, I feel a sense of calm and serenity.
We are walking down the stairs and I see my father talking with both of my older brothers, Solomon and Zexion. All three stop talking and look at me with nothing but smiles. I smile back and they start to walk towards us. I am not going to lie, I have missed them.
Solomon and Zexion wrap their arms around me, pulling me into a big hug. I cant help but give them a big hug back. Their warmth giving me even more calmness. I can manage tonight. Whatever may fly my way.
I turn towards my father and give him a big hug as well. Smelling his scent washed away any other anxieties I may have. All I know is that my family is here and I couldn't have asked for anything better.
"Ciel, my daughter, you are absolutely gorgeous tonight." My father says lovingly.
"Thank you dad." I reply smiling.
"There is someone I want you to meet."
Of course this comes up. "Of course dad! I would love to."
All of a sudden I feel tapping on my shoulder. As I am turning to see who it was, I hear my father say, "This is the future Alpha of Green Paw Pack. His name is Accono Stone."
My whole world stops as soon as I hear two little words. "Its you!"
Shit.
*ACCONO POV*
"Alpha Kaname thank you for inviting us tonight! My son can't wait to meet and mate your daughter." My father says enthusiastically.
I interally roll my eyes. I didn’t want to come to this party. I want to go back and find out more about my purple haired angel. She is the one I want. She is the one who I want as my mate. Not some hidden daughter, who could be a snobby, stuck up, spoiled b***h.
"Well, she should be coming down soon. I just sent her oldest brother up to her room to grab her and her best friend." Alpha Kaname says with pride and love.
Atleast he loves his daughter. Atleast he has pride for her. Maybe she won't be to bad.
"Accono, son, go mingle. I will mindlink you when its time to meet her." My father says.
"Yes Alpha." I say with a slight bow.
As I am walking away from my father, I cant help but wonder who the mysterious daughter is. Did she hide her presence or did her father? I mean, to be fair, Alpha Kaname is known all through out the wolf community and in the business world. If he was my father, I would want to hide my presence as well.
Just thinking about it makes me sweat. Every one wanting to be friends with you just so they can get closer to your father. It would be a nightmare. Plus all of the enemies that comes with the Alpha position.
I no longer feel like this is a waste. I understand why she hides herself. I understand the apprehensive want of letting everyone know who you are. Especially when she has two older brothers just a known as their father.
I walk up to Xander since I don't know anyone else here. Why is Xander here you ask? Well Xander is the future Beta and my best friend. With me being the future Alpha and having to be here, I dragged him along for the ride as well.
"Xander, I am going to be so happy when we finally leave here. The birthday girl is late to her own party. I have a feeling she is as apprehensive of our meeting as I am." I say to him.
"Well Alpha, we need to know who our future Luna is. Think of it this way, if she doesn't want to mate with you like you don't want to mate with her, then you can focus on finding purple." Xander replies.
"Man you know I want to find her. Damon was saying that she might be our Fated Mate. Do you know what this would mean?" I say.
"Dude, I know. We all want what your mom and dad have. Trust me. Hell even I want that." Xander says smirking.
Just as I am about to reply, my father mindlinks me.
Accono, its time.
Coming Alpha.
"My dad just mindlinked me. It is time to meet the mystery girl." I say in a sarcastic tone.
"Good luck man."
I turn and start to head over where my father is. I just need to make this as painless as possible. I will have to let them know that I have found my Fated Mate. I am trusting Damon on this.
I stop and stand next to my father as I hear Alpha Kaname interacting with someone. "Ciel, my daughter, you are absolutely gorgeous tonight."
"Thank you dad."
"There is someone I want you to meet."
Well here goes nothing. "Of course dad! I would love to."
I start to walk over to where Alpha Kaname is standing, looking at the ground. I dont want to do this. Why didn't I refuse harder.
I reach out to touch her shoulder and look up as Alpha Kaname introduces me, "This is the future Alpha of Green Paw Pack. His name is Accono Stone."
"Its you!" I say.
Oh moon goddess you are on my side tonight. Its my purple haired angel. I cant help but stare at her. She’s even more breathtaking tonight.
Her dress is absolutely gorgeous. It's a low-cut-v neckline that plunges deeply into a natural waist that fastens in a halter like style around the nape of her neck showing off her flawless shoulders. All while teasingly showing her bare back.
I want nothing more then to see if her whole back is bare, but I won't do anything until she is completely comfortable around me. The thoughts I am having alone are making my c*ck twitch with anticipation.
I would love to see her flawless back on full display while I f*ck her from behind. I know my eyes have lust in them. I need to calm down. I can't have her scared of me. I want nothing to do but love her.
Alpha Kaname clears his throat while looking between the two of us with a smile, "you two know eachother?"
*CIEL POV*
I am lost in his lust filled silver-gray eyes as my father clears his throat and pulls me back to reality, "you two know eachother?"
Accono turns towards my father and replies, "we have our last class together at school, but I didn't know she was your daughter. I didn't even know her name until tonight." He turns back towards me, "you are absolutely breathtaking tonight Ciel."
I can feel my cheeks heat up at his words as my heart speeds up causing me to look away from him. What is happening to me? How is he able to make me all flustered without even trying? How is he the only one who is able to cause me to blush when so many have tried before him?
My blush immediately disappears as a voice sounds behind us, "Alpha, we have a problem at the eastern boarder. We need you there."
My father turns towards the voice, "is the problem contained at the moment?"
"Yes Alpha, it is. We just need you to assess the situation."
"I will be right behind you." My father turns towards me, "Ciel, my daughter, stay with Accono. I know he will protect you if need be."
"Yes father." I reply with a slight bow to show respect.
My father pulls me into a hug and kisses my temple. He turns towards my brothers and signals them to follow. I turn to watch them leave while squeezing Kelsey's hand. I am worried about them. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it.
Shaking my shoulders and holding my head high, I turn towards Accono, "shall we get to know eachother? I know it will make my father very pleased."
He clears his throat with a slight blush, "uh yeah, sure!"
"I know I was apprehensive about this meeting before I found out it was you, were you the same way? You don't need to lie to me. Please be truthful."
"I was at first. I wanted to find out more about you before I knew you were who I was meeting. Something about you draws me in." He replies starting at his feet, "in all honesty, I didn’t even want to come to this party because I wanted to find you. I wanted to know more about you. I didnt know if Alpha Kaname's daughter was going to be a spoiled brat and I just didn't want to deal with it. Now that I see you infront of me, I am thanking the moon goddess. I have never felt so lucky."
I can feel my heart melting at his words. Something about his words bring happiness to me. He didn't want to meet some random girl. He wanted to see me and learn more about me. I am not going to lie and say that I didnt want that to because I did.
The first time I saw Accono, I was drawn to him. Seeing him, standing infront of me, is a dream come true. It was hard for me to stay away from him this whole week. I even tried to make it seem like I was human so he would leave me be.
I am happy I got to see him tonight.
***************
It is midnight and the party is still full swing. I am getting a slight headache, but its not something I can't handle.
So you think you can handle me? A voice says in my head.
Who are you? Why are you giving me a headache?
My name is Amira, I am your wolf.
I smile internally, I am so happy to finally meet you Amira.
As am I, my dear Ciel. I would love to talk more but I smell mate.
What? My Fated Mate is here?
My Fated Mate is here? Right now? I need to find him! I lift my nose into the air and I catch the most mouthwatering and intoxicating scent I have ever smelt. It smells like freshly baked sourdough bread with freshly picked ripened strawberries.
I turn towards where the delicious scent is coming from and start to walk over. The scent leads me outside into the back of the packhouse. I continue to follow the scent until I see the back of someone. Their scent blowing all around me as I am downwind. They don't even know I am here. They can't smell me.
Before I am able to walk up, I see someone walk up to whoever they are. I am about to walk away, when I hear, "Alpha are you okay? What are you doing out here?"
"I am fine Xander. I just hope I can find my Fated Mate. I have a feeling that Ciel is my Fated Mate. The first time Damon and I saw her, he couldn't stop talking about her. Hell I couldn't stop thinking about her." I hear him sigh, "I dont know what to do man."
I see the man named Xander look around watching the surrounding area for danger. He looks my way with wide eyes. I put my finger up to my lips signaling him to keep quiet. I want to hear everything my Fated Mate has to say.
"Do you want me to talk to you as your friend or as a pack member talking to their Alpha?" Xander says.
"Give it to me straight Xan."
"Accono, you are lucky you have found the girl who eluded you all this week. You thought you were going to meet a spoiled, snobby, stuck up b***h but instead you meet your dream girl. You won't know if she is infact your Fated Mate if you don't go and find her." Xander replies bluntly.
Accono looks at Xander and smiles. "You never cease to amaze me with that bluntness of yours. You are right. I will never know if she is my Fated Mate unless I go find out." He looks at the moon, "I think I might love her already and I haven't even really got to know her. Sure we talked for a couple hours until she was wisked away. I dont know what she does to me man. It's like my whole world finally feels complete."
Xander looks back at me and I nod my head at him, letting him know I will take it from here, "well then man you better go find her instead of hiding out here. I will be inside. Mindlink me if you need anything."
Xander turns and walks away leaving my unsuspecting mate to me. The wind blows again and I sniff his scent even more. I just can't get enough of his scent.
I am about to take a step forward, when the wind changes directions and blows towards Accono. I see him visibly stiffen as he sniffs the air. He turns towards me and the whole world stops as we lock eyes.
Mate. Amira purrs in my head.
"Mate." I hear at the same time.
