'I like to be alone. But I would rather be alone with you.'
-Unknown

Alpha Kingston surveyed the members of his pack that was gathered on the training field. They were engaged.in hand-to-hand combat and training in their wolf form. Alpha Kingston stood in his Palace located in Cermona, Italy. Today marked his 25th birthday and 25 years without his mate. His twin sister Amber had found her mate Alpha Elliott at 17 years old and decided to stay in America with him when Alpha Kingston decided to move his pack to Italy. 'But what was the point of having immortality if he was alone for an entire millennium?' It wasn't that he had a shortage of women to tend to his needs, it was just that after 25 years there was a need inside of him, that could only be quenched by his mate.

"Alpha, we live to serve you, long live the king."

His wolves said as Alpha Kingston raised hands to address them.

"It gives me great pleasure to see my warriors here today. Your success in training is my success."

Alpha Kingston said as all the members beamed with pride.

"You are dismissed."

His Beta Lyric shouted as wolves parted like a sea to allow Lyric to walk up to Alpha Kingston.

"My king."

Lyric bowed as Alpha Kingston scoffed at him.

"Stop that, you know it feels weird when you do that. I've known you since you were a pup and I chose you to stand by my side for the rest of your life."

Alpha Kingston said as Lyric smiled. They had been friends since his birth. Alpha Kingston's Betas have always been the firstborn males from the Stone family. He had known about twenty generations of Stone men.

"I know, but you should know what a pleasure it is."

Beta Lyric said as Alpha Kingston smiled. Just then, a heavily pregnant female rushed up to Beta lyrics.

"Dior, what in the world are you thinking? You know you hold the future beta of this pack, my heir and son, both of you are my most precious possessions."

Beta Lyric said as Dior hushed him, a bit embarrassed that he would say all those things in front of the Alpha.

"Alpha Kingston, a pleasure as always."

Dior said trying to curtsy.

"I will have none of that Dior, you are my family. How many times am I to see that you shouldn't bow to me."

Alpha Kingston scolded her as Dior hung her head.

"Maybe once more, it's just that you are Alpha Kingston. The most feared Alpha in Europe, if not the world."

Dior said as Alpha Kingston shook his head. 'He wasn't that bad, was he?' Well all the better, the fewer people to try to challenge him. His hands were stained with enough blood over the years.

"And that's our cue to leave, Alpha I bid you good night."

Beta Lyric said as he whisked Dior toward their room. Alpha Kingston looked. on, jealous of the fact that his Beta had found his mate at the young age of 18, and even though he had been alive for 25 years, his mate was yet to make an appearance in his life. He had dark skin and was told looks like a linebacker that was used in American football. He had inherited Indian hair from his mother as well as her dark complexion. Luna Queen Remi was loved by all and his father the previous Alpha Emerson was the All-American poster boy with blonde hair and blue topaz eyes. His mother Queen Remy had rhodolite eyes. His eyes however were multicolored and changed the piece on his mood or need.

"Have a good night Lyric, Dior."

Alpha Kingston said as he made his way to his room. His mind wandered to the upcoming visit he had with various packs. It was a very tedious chore, about a necessary one. He wanted to make sure that the Alphas under his domain were not abusing their power or their pack members. He had been alive and let me know so he knew how much absolute power can corrupt a person. In his father's 10th year of rule, he had given a young Alpha a pack to govern. That Alpha had abused his members, separated mates from each other, and raped the females and even males in his pack to show his dominance. The final nail in his coffin, came when news of him killing twin girls for allegedly making too much noise. Alpha Kingston had dealt with that matter personally. His wolf Lucian had feasted on the young Alpha and had appointed a new Alpha for that pack. Rumors were that his son Alpha Thorn, who had succeeded him, was just as bad. He had to ensure that that was one of those that he visited on his tour. You know the old saying like father, like son. He hoped for his sake that it wasn't so, or he would share the same faith as his father. Someone entered the room and he was a female and one of the members of his pack.

"You have five seconds to explain why you are in my room before I kill you."

Alpha Kingston said as he sat up in bed, in his sleeping shorts.

"I would like to offer my virginity to my Alpha."

The young girl said as Alpha Kingston sat up and look at the girl. Her name was Historia, the daughter of one of his Gamma. She was barely 18 years old and in his opinion had just come out of leading strings.

"Historia, do you understand what you're saying? I'm not like other Alphas. I would split you in two and I would not be gentle about it."

Alpha Kingston said as Historia's eyes welled with tears.

"But I just want to be loved."

Historia said as Alpha Kingston sighed.
