Mating With The Alpha

Chapter One

Lucy has the biggest smile on her face, she can barely contain her excitement. She goes on and on about the blue colour in his eyes and his blonde hair and his name“Cade" she says seductively“Our future pups will be beautiful!”I am so happy for my best friend and suddenly her face falls the colour draining from her cheeks.

“What? What is it?" I ask placing a hand on her arm. Lucy looks at me mouth hung open with a look of fear taking over her features.

“We CAN NOT throw a party tonight, we were never throwing a party tonight and he is going to show up and think I am a loser, a loser with no friends because NOONE will be there. Then he will reject me as his mate because he is the BETA for crying out loud and he cannot have a LOSER as his mate!!”She rambles.

I grab on to her shoulders giving her a small shake. Snap out of it!

“Lucy breathe! I said small party with friends! I got this, I will tell everyone to meet at my house and we will quickly stop by your house on the way and have plenty of time to get you ready. Just text him my address and tell him to come for eight." I explain.

“TEXT THEM NOW PLEASE!”She says still freaking out. "Sadie, I like him so much already, I just want this to work.”

I can't feel what Lucy is feeling but having been her best friend since we were two I have pretty good intuition when it comes to her emotions and I can see how bad she wants this. I smile at her and mentally pray to myself that none of our friends have plans on a Friday night as I pick up my phone and group chat Ethan, James, Elle and Sebastian.

Sadie:

EMERGENCY! THIS IS NOT A DRILL PEOPLE!! Lucy met her mate it's CADE the beta! Party tonight my place eight, you better be there! Oh and we did not plan this last minute.

James: Elle and I will be there.

Sebastian:

Sorry nope!

Ethan:

YES! So happy for our girl!

James: Seb, I'll bring beer!

Sebastian: Fine.

I look up to see Lucy staring at her phone smiling as our friends respond to my text. We really do have a great group. We grab our school bags and leave Mira’s heading down the street towards Lucy’s house. We agree on a plan to ask her mom to my house that way if she asks any questions we both know what to say. As we enter the front door the smell of pizza hits my nose making my stomach growl. We discard our bags and shoes and head for the kitchen to find Lucy’s mom slicing on of her homemade pizzas.

“Oh I didn't even hear you come in. Hi Sadie, I didn't know you were stopping by, would you like to stay for dinner?”

“Actually, mom I was wondering. Could I stay the night at Sadie's?" Lucy asks.

She turns to me smiling politely“Is James home?”

“Yup! He and Elle are staying, we have a group project with Elle for English.”I lie.

“Well then, I guess it is alright. If It's for school.”

We thank her and head upstairs to Lucy's room quickly throwing almost the entire contents of Lucy's closet into a bag so we had many outfit choices. We were almost to my house when my phone pings interrupting our planning for the nights events.

Sebastian:

Sleepover? ;)

Sadie:

Lucy is staying the night

Sebastian: Ask her to stay in James room?

Lucy nudged my arm taking my mind out of the very dirty gutter it crawled into.

“Oww!!”I joked.

“Another booty call from Sebastian??”She said making kissing noises.

“What are we twelve?”

“No I just don't know why you didn't hold out for your mate!”

“Luce, I am seventeen and a girl has needs and Sebastian is not bad to look at!”

Sebastian is my older brother's best friend; for a while it was like having two brothers up until James and Elle got so close and started spending “alone time together” which we understand so Sebastian and I started hanging out just at the house playing video games or watching movies and in time more. I wouldn't call him my boyfriend but he is so much more than just friends with benefits.

“Speaking of needs, would you mind sleeping in James room tonight pretty please??”I ask as I pout my lip and bat my eyes at Lucy.

“You are so lucky I love you!”She smiles. I thank her and send Sebastian a thumbs up just as we reach my house.

I admire my handiwork as Lucy stares at herself in the full mirror in my bedroom. Her blonde hair was softly curled so that it just grazes her shoulders, she had a brown smoky eye look and soft pink lip stick, and we finished off her look with tight black jeans and a flowy white top that hung off both her shoulders. She looks smoking.

“If I was Cade I would totally mark you tonight!”

“What if the time comes and I freak out or worse I shift and run away!" She smacks herself in the face sitting down on my bed.

“Luce, he is your mate and when you are ready you will know!”

Lucy has chosen to save herself for her mate, she always believed there was one person out there for her and in time she would find him and he would be the one she share that part of herself with. With Lucy's nerves for the most part calm, I quickly threw on some mascara, red lipstick, my black halter that was just low cut enough to show some cleavage and my dark blue jeans, I checked the mirror and once I was satisfied we head downstairs. James and Elle were already in the kitchen and Ethan opens the door just as we emerge from the stairs.

“Smoke shows as always.” He says taking in our appearances as we make our way to the kitchen.

We were laughing at Elle telling us an embarrassing story of something James did at lunch when the doorbell rang taking every one's attention.

“Okay guys please be cool!" Lucy pleads.

“We are cool” Ethan states as he rushes to answer the door curious of the pack “royalty”waiting on the other side. As Ethan rushes back he has a look of panic on his face quickly spitting out “the alpha is here” before our guests make their appearance from around the corner.

I watch as Cade dressed in blue jeans and a tight fitted black v-neck quickly makes his way to Lucy and stare in awe as he places a gentle kiss to her cheek and pulls her into his side when something takes over my entire body. My eyes shift to where he is standing, my feet burn to move me, my fingers itch to let me touch his skin, my wolf screams to let her out, my eyes rake over his entire body from his dark wash jeans up to his white loose fitted tee that hugs his muscles perfectly, the leather jacket he wears covering his arms making me wonder what they look like. His black hair looks as if he just run his fingers through it, his mouth slants up in a grin. I feel my panties getting wet and watch his nostrils flare taking in the scent of me. Dark green eyes meet mine and realization kicks in. HOLY s**t!!
