My Royal Alpha

Chapter 2

We left the house together along with my mom and my older brother, Charlie.

"You look great sis!"

"So do you!" I replied. Charlie was dressed in a sleek back tux with a cute little bow tie to match.

Charlie is 3 years older than me, but we have a really close bond. He's lined up to be the next alpha for our pack, so he's naturally responsible and protective of me. He can get really annoying sometimes, but I love him to bits.

My dad drove us for about an hour before we parked right in front of a huge mansion - The Royal Mansion, which was actually the pack house of The Blood Wolves pack.

"Wow!" I sighed dreamily. "I'd like to live here one day." Both Tegan and Charlie both snorted and I looked at them defiantly. "It could happen you know!"

"How?" Teagan asked. Everyone looked at me expectantly.

"Well.. uhh.." I stuttered, suddenly not being able to think clearly. "Well obviously I can't think of a good reason under all this pressure!"

"Whatever you say.." Charlie trailed off while Teagan just rolled her eyes. My parents chuckled privately to themselves.

We got out of the car which was driven away by a valet.

I stepped up the stone steps, admiring the pillars that greeted in the entrance in a Grecian style.

The large oak doors opened and led to a large pathway marble flooring, and the walls were decorated with lit candles and various sculptures. There was even a suit or armor in one corner. The ceiling was adorned by grandiose chandeliers that lit up the entire room and glittered tiny beads of light.

I followed down the pathway, turning my head this way and that, marvelling all that was available to my eye. I soon stopped at another door, that was opened by a server.

"This way please."

I did a small curtsy and followed the server. We were led up a large marble staircase, and we went through multiple corridors before we finally reached another corridor that lead straight into a pair of double doors opened wide to the ballroom.

As I stepped into the ballroom, I took in the amount of people that were here. There were so many werewolves just milling about chatting and socializing, and I knew no one here besides my pack, who had not all arrived yet.

Suddenly, the music started, announcing the beginning of the ball.

I quickly seized a glass of champagne out of a waiter's tray as he was passing by and prepared myself to sit down on a chair nearby.

A voice I didn't recognize suddenly asked, "May I take this dance?"

I looked to see a young man, probably a bit older than me, who was actually really hot. He had brown hair and a pair of light hazel eyes. His face was angular and he had pink lips that were curving up in a smile.

I gave him a small smile and put my hand into his extended one.

He gently lifted me up and led me onto the dance floor. Couples were already slowly dancing to the music and I awkwardly joined in, as I didn't really know how to dance.

After a few songs, we walked out onto the balcony. I looked around and I felt a pair of eyes on me. Nobody was around though.

"So, what's your name?" he asked. I realized that in our acquaintance of almost 30 minutes, I hadn't even bothered to learn his name.

"T - Troye. " I gave him a small smile. "You?"

"Aleksander, but you can call me Alec. Pleasure." I had heard of that name somewhere before, but I wasn't really sure. I'd figure that out later, I thought.

Alec lifted my hand and he placed a soft kiss on my hands.

I couldn't help but think of my mate at this moment. I wondered what it would be like if he were the one to give me this kiss.

What am I thinking? I would probably never see him again!

Alec put my hand down, a smirk slowly forming on his face.

"Would you excuse me? I seem to have some things to attend to." He paused. "Troye."

I let go of the breath I didn't know he was holding, there was something about Alec that was just so breathtaking!

I figured that he probably got a message through the pack link of whatever pack he was in and I watched him return to the ball room.

Afterwards, I ate my weight in food, occasionally taking a glass of champagne that the waiters were offering.

As the ball dragged on for another hour, and I was a lot less tired and a lot more full, I decided to explore this mansion while I had the chance.

It wasn't like there was anything else to do.

I stealthily crept out, hoping no one would notice me since it would be embarrassing as they did.

"Excuse me miss, where are you going?" A waiter appeared out of nowhere. "Um bathroom," I quickly lied. Phew that was a close one I thought. I spoke too soon. "This way miss" The waiter escorted me to the bathroom, motioning for me to go inside. I reluctantly went in. After about 5 minutes, I peeked my head out of the door.

The waiter was still there.

Did he expect to escort me back to the ball too? I waited for another 15 minutes and looked out. Thank God, he was gone.

I stepped out and went the opposite direction of the ball, not feeling like returning to that hubbub of music and socializing. I walked up a flight of stairs, hoping to explore the mansion.

I wandered around, admiring the beautiful decorations like paintings and medieval items that were just hanging on the walls. As I was walking, looking left and right, trying to take everything in, I bumped into something.

It was really hard so it was probably one of those weird suits of armor I had been seeing around. I rubbed my sore head and registered a familiar smell.

A smell that surrounded my entire being with a feeling of desire I had only felt once before in my life. A smell that I thought I'd never smell again. A woodsy smell combined with vanilla.

No. It couldn't be.

I slowly looked up, noticing that the man in front of me was shirtless. I took in the muscular toned body that I so desperately wanted to run my hands on. I noticed a little happy trail as well as a defined V line that extended enticingly into the sweatpants he was wearing.

I continued making my way up his abs and pecs until I caught sight of his face, staring straight into the grey blue eyes of the man I had met over a year ago by the river.

My mate.

And boy, did he not look happy.

Hey guys, I hope you liked it.

Are you ready for the little reunion between Troye and Elian? EEEK!!

Feel free to comment and give me advice. An update will be coming soon!
