Conquering the Alpha (BxB) - Werewolf Story

Chapter 15: Can I Have This Dance

It's Friday, the day of the first mixer here at Ravenwood, the Fall Ball.

Believe it or not, Skylar's popularity skyrocketed after the episode in which his prospective partner slapped him in the face in public only to apologize later when Headmaster Lockwood cleared his reputation in a school assembly. He dumped her right after she apologized to him, claiming he wanted a partner who believed in him.

I don't know what it was in that speech of his, but women either love a fixer-upper or they love it when a man proves to NOT be a cheating bastard. These are my guesses so far, but Skylar's dance card is almost full for the upcoming ball - leaving out only the male Omegas who are not on his radar.

All Alphas and Betas are required to dance with every Omega and Gamma from the academy, leaving a signature on a card attached to their wrists proving that they did. The idea was taken from the Victorian Era England.

The girls who were not yet prospected flocked to the handsome Alpha to sign up to be his dance partner. His former prospect though, the female Gamma is not doing so well but the student counselor has reached out to talk to her.

Rejection can be daunting to deal with, but to be fair she rejected him first. Facts are facts. Not that I am taking any side in this quarrel.

I am looking forward to having the opportunity to dance with Jayden. If it were up to me, he would be the only boy I'd dance with tonight. Alas, rules must be obeyed.

Seth and I filed up in line for breakfast as students had no other topic of conversation except for the Victorian Era Ball.

They are excited about dressing up and having a good time, even though alcohol is not permitted on the premise, there is always a workaround for the restrictions.

It promises to be one hell of a party.

Jayden sees me in the line and blows me a kiss from a distance - he is on another line to grab food. I swoon at his romantic endeavor. Meanwhile, a tall, brunette, tanned boy with impossibly beautiful green eyes stands in front of me with a peculiar expression on his face.

"Hi. I am Roberto. I look forward to dancing with you tonight." He winked at me flirtatiously. His accent was thick, but his English was not actually bad for a non-native speaker.

"Hi, Roberto. I'm Jacob. It's nice to meet you." I greeted him, a tad awkwardly. Here I thought I was invisible to everybody here except for Jayden.

"It's nice to make your acquaintance. I would have introduced myself earlier but that other guy is always with you. At least tonight we can share a moment together." He spoke, boldly. Meanwhile, Jayden was not a fan of this conversation, much less of the way Roberto was looking at me right now.

I was blushing from his flirtatious gaze my way, but mostly embarrassed for Jayden to be witnessing this exchange.

"I am sure you'll have a great time. But I should warn you, I am involved with someone else." I warned him, though that much should be obvious by now.

"Oh, I know! I just figured I should throw my hat in the race just in case you two don't work out." He told me with a timid smile while his eyes were hungry for me.

"Woof. It looks like you have competition for your Omega, roomie." Skylar teased Jayden in front of him on the line.

"There IS no competition!" He growled at him, sideways glaring at Roberto. Skylar was amused by this unusual situation. Meanwhile Seth, by my side, was giving me a look that said "What the fuck?!"

As if marking his territory, Jayden made sure to stop by my table after breakfast to hold me close and kiss my cheek, purposefully spreading his scent on me like a canine that pees to mark its territory.
