ALETHEA'S POV
I stared at him, my mind wondering, how can I get a second mate? It was impossible to have only one soulmate, I thought as I looked at him. He looks no older than 25, and I am just 17, and there is one thing I am sure he will do. Reject me if he found out that I am a forsaken child of the moon's goodness. I have to do it first; it hurts less, but I don't know his name or the name of this pack. 'Shit,' I cursed. I am doing it no matter what. 'I reject you as my...' Large hands cover my mouth before I can even complete my rejection. I stared at his brown eyes, but they weren't those brown eyes I could die seeing. They are now pitch black, and that frightened me a bit. 'You would not reject me, little mate.' His voice was thick and rough, telling me that his wolf is near the surface. I bit into his hands, but he didn't even show any pain; instead, his eyes got even darker. Is that even possible? I wondered. I seem to realize our position. Gathering every strength I have, I placed my hands on his chest. I felt his hard rock chest before my mind could go elsewhere, and I pushed him off me. He only took some steps back. 'Show off,' I thought. 'What is your deal?' 'You are not rejecting me, little mate.' 'I am not your fucking mate,' I yelled. 'Language,' he warned. But who gives a fuck about what he says? He doesn't own me. 'You will learn to respect me.' He used his Alpha tone, but too bad I don't care even if he is the Alpha king. 'I only respect who I want to.' He seemed shocked that I didn't submit to him but recovered quickly.
It's been 20 minutes since I last saw my mate since he left me standing here. I noticed he placed bodyguards blocking every exit; I sat on the floor, and the shirt I wore rested on my upper thighs. I heard giggles and chatting as two girls came out from a room. They stopped chatting to stare at me; their eyes are unfocused, and I know that someone is mind-linking them. Rolling my eyes, I watched them stare at me in shock, and then their faces split into wide smiles. 'Hey there,' the one with two-colored hair asked. She was cute in a weird way, her black and blue hair in two ponytails. Her blue eyes stared at me in awe while her lips formed a smirk. Her petite body was covered by black jeans with a blue and black shirt, paired with rainbow-colored sneakers. I only stared at her as she looked at a friend for help turning my head; I took a quick look at her. She was breathtaking, I will give her that, with cat eyes that were covered with black eyeliner. Her plump lips were painted with a dark shade of red. She wore a black gown that stopped at her knee, but it had slits on her two sides up to her upper thighs. She was wearing a knife holder on each side of her legs. She paired everything with black combat heels.
'You are his mate, right?' the breathing one asked. 'So what if I am? Did he send you to babysit me?' I stood, placing my hands on my waist and raising my left brow up. 'Charlotte, why will you ask her that?' the cute one said. So the breathing one's name was Charlotte. 'Scarlet, what should I have asked?' "Cute one's name was Scarlet," I thought as I stared at them bored. Getting tired of their whispers 'Are you guys not here to babysit me and not to bore me?' I asked, my tone a little bored. 'Oh no, we aren't here to babysit you, Luna,' Scarlet said as she waved her small hands. 'Luna.' I mentally and physically cringed at the title. They will stop calling me that when they find out that I am wolf-less. 'Don't call me that, please... you can call me Alethea, but I prefer Thea,' I told them. 'Okay, Thea,' they both shouted before laughing at their own childish behavior. Shaking my head, I just smiled as we all went upstairs into Scarlet's room to get to know each other. 'You are telling me that you placed a snake in his room after finding out that he is afraid of them?' Charlotte asked Scarlet, who can't stop laughing. 'Yeah. He was so mad at me that he didn't talk to me for days. She just proved to me that she was just cute in her face but a complete badass inside. 'What about you, Thea? Don't you have anything to tell us about your pack?' Scarlet asked. I hated attention; it made me feel like just one mistake and your life can be ruined. 'I can't tell them about my pack or anything about me; I can't trust them. "I can't trust anybody, only myself," I thought. My stomach grumbled, saving me. 'We are so sorry that we didn't feed you,' they both said as they dragged me out of the room towards the kitchen that I took a knife from. I saw as they told the omegas to leave the kitchen and get some rest, stunned as I watched the omegas go. 'We don't treat omegas as how other packs treat theirs.' I turned to see Charlotte was staring at me. While Scarlet prepared something—I don't know what it is, but it smelled nice and delicious. When I didn't respond, she continued, 'Alpha Thane doesn't like it when they are treated badly.' 'So my mate's name is Thane—nice name; it suits him,' I thought as I smiled. 'Bon appétit.' Scarlet dropped a plate in front of me. I looked at what was on my plate; I hadn't seen anything like it before, and I was confused. It must have shown in my face because Scarlet asked, 'You don't know what pancakes are?' Nodding, I took a bite, and I was met with a delicious taste on my tongue. 'There is no way that you haven't had this before,' she said, laughing like she doesn't believe me. My silence told her that I've indeed not had this before. "How old are you, Thea?" It was Charlotte that asked. 'I'm 17, but I will be 18 in October, and it is just August.' I blushed as I hid my face. 'You are so young,' she said, biting my lip. I decided to change the topic. 'My mate, can you tell me anything about him?' I asked, taking another plate full of pancakes from Scarlet. 'Why don't you ask him yourself?' Scarlet asked as she continued making more pancakes. 'We didn't have a nice conversation when we spoke earlier,' I said. Charlotte studied me before starting, 'His name is Thane, and I am not telling you his surname, age, or any family-related stuff, so you have to ask him that one yourself,' she said, like you could read my mind. 'He is the Alpha of the Stonewood pack; he is very ruthless to those who cross him. He didn't get his mate when he turned 16 like some werewolves. And he isn't as bad as the other packs claim he is. He doesn't talk too much, and when he does, it is because he finds your company interesting. She stops. Taking the information about my mate, I feel like it is not enough; I need to know him more, but from his mouth. 'Oh! one more thing, I think you didn't know, but he is the Alpha king.' My hand, my heart stops. I think I can't hear anymore ' Alpha' The two women bowed to someone at my back. The tingles and gross bumps I feel told me all I need to know. It was like everything was in slow motion; turning my head, I looked at my mate, and he was already staring at me. He is the Alpha king, and I am his mate, making me the Luna queen. I gasped as I immediately stood up from the chair but hit my leg on the counter and fell. Two large hands held my waist; everything disappeared as I stared at him. But my mind keeps saying, 'He is the Alpha king.' I can't stay here, but I can't seem to push him away as he holds me.
