Alphas Choice

F O U R

Alpha Gabriel's point of view

"How much longer until we arrive, Eli? I want to get this over with." I asked my Beta.

"We should be there in about 15 minutes." he said from the driver seat.

I closed my laptop and leaned back against the seat. It was three weeks ago now that King Edward Varon reached out to me with a proposal. I have served as Alpha under him for almost 15 years and have turned the Silver Moon pack the largest and strongest in that time. We are a pack of strong warriors, people fear me, I am the strongest Alpha in quite some time and I do what needs to be done to defend my pack, it doesn't help that I have no patience. It seems the King shares that idea and wants me to marry his eldest daughter to take the throne.

I've talked it over with my Beta. He likes the idea of me becoming King one day but not so fond of the arranged marriage. Eli is the same age as me and his father was the beta before him, we grew up together and he is my best friend, he knows first-hand what I'm like so I think he feels sorry for the girl. Hopefully, she is at least tolerable until I can take the throne, and then I don't care what she does. If she looks anything like her mother did all those years ago when I met her, I'm sure she has looks at least.

I look forward as we drive, Eli in the driver's seat, and his mate Myra has come as well, and she sits in the passenger seat. They hold hands as we drive. In front of us there is another car with four guards, not that we need guards with us, it is just for appearances.

I can see the castle grounds up ahead. The castle itself is quite impressive in size. When I came here as a child I was always fascinated with how big everything was, the stone walls, and gates, and to think it will be mine some day...my wolf seems excited by that power, and so am I.

When we pull up, the King has guards to escort us inside. The doors are held open for us, and we are ushered into the main foyer. The King, Queen, and one of his daughters are standing there along with the Beta, his wife, and I assume their son. I know from her red hair that this is Camilla, their eldest daughter and who I am to marry.

I haven't seen her in years but time has been great to her, she is fucking sexy as hell, even my wolf growls in appreciation. Her breasts are large and perky and I see she has decided not to wear a bra. My eyes travel further down her short frame and she has the textbook definition of an hourglass figure. She notices me checking her out and gives a smug look and tosses her hair as she looks me over as well. Not showing any emotions I laugh inwardly, this just got a lot more interesting of a proposal, I'm sure she knows how to use that body properly...

"Good morning Alpha Bardou." the Queen inclines her head. "Please follow us to the office where we can all talk more comfortably."

Her words break my train of thoughts, I nod and follow everyone down the hall towards the back of the castle, my Beta and his mate following along as well, our guards stay near the front door. We all file in to the Kings office and grab a seat, he walks behind his desk to sit down, his wife follows behind to stand next to him. Camilla has chosen a seat in front of her father and everyone else sits on the couches that line the walls, I decide to sit next to Eli on the couch near the window so I can face the entire room. We sit in silence for a moment, I can tell the King wants to be the first to speak but is pausing to show he is the one with the power. I humor him and sit in silence.

"We all know why we are hear today." He starts, "Camilla is next in line for the throne and has been training for when that time comes, a strong Alpha is needed to stand along her side to run our kind so we can prosper and continue our sacred lineage."

I can sense the waves of anger rolling off Camilla the more her father speaks, it seems she is not all for this deal...I notice she purses her lips when she gets angry, such a sexy face, I can't wait to get that to bed. Her father is about to continue speaking when she interrupts.
