The Journey

Chapter 23 : : New Alpha

~Alejandra's POV~

So as I open my eyes, a tsunami of sadness flows through my body. I look at Vincent, who still has his arms wrapped around me, with tears running down his cheeks.

"Babe, what's wrong? Please tell me so I can help." I ask sitting up and facing him on the bed.

"There's nothing you can do. I'm sad because my parents aren't here to see me become alpha today. This is the most important day in my life, and my parents will never see it." Another tear runs down his cheek. I wipe it away and sit him up. He looks me in the eyes and I can see the sadness in him. So I pull him in for a hug. He squeezes me tightly.

"I'm sorry Vincent. I wish there was something I could do about that but I can't. And I'm sure your parents are watching over you right now. I bet they are so proud of you, for being strong as a person, and an alpha. There's no one here capable of what you can do. You're strong, remember that." He pulls away and pecks me on my lips quickly and softly.

"Thank you Alex, I can always count you to make me feel better." He gets up off the bed and heads into the walk in closet to pick out his clothes for the day. He comes out with a plain white shirt, a pair of Rock Revival jeans, and white Converse. I give a thumbs up. He smiles and beings to put on his clothes. After he's done, he goes to the bathroom to fix his hair. I then go to the closet and pick out an outfit. I see a white v-neck shirt, a red flannel, light semi-ripped jeans, and white converse. I guess him and I are semi twinning today. I chuckle at the thought and begin to put them on. Afterwards, I head out of the closet and right when I do, I see Vincent coming out of the bathroom brushing his teeth. His mouth drops and so does the toothbrush.

"What's wrong? Never twinned with someone before?" I giggle at his face.

"No I haven't but I like the outfit better on you." He says with toothpaste in his mouth. He picks up the toothbrush and heads to the bathroom to wash out his mouth. I follow him. I plug in the curling iron and get my toothbrush and toothpaste. I brush my teeth throughly, then rinse off the toothbrush and put it back.

"So what's today's plans?" I ask grabbing the iron and I begin to curl my hair.

"Well, I thought, after we were done getting ready, we would go out to eat and after breakfast, go to Starbucks and get coffee. Then come home, and set up the party for becoming me becoming Alpha. How's that sound?" He asks putting the final touches on his hair.

"That sounds amazing. But where are we going to eat at?"

"How about...Denny's?" I can tell on the inside he's jumping up and down hoping I'm going to say yes.

"That sounds good. Let's hurry there before I eat the pillows on the bed." He chuckles and grabs his wallet. I finish the last of my curls and put the iron away. I head out the bathroom and grab my phone and wallet, then I head for the door. Vincent beats me there and opens the door, we then head out of my room.

As we head towards the living room, I see Kylie with a boy. She's as red as a tomato and she keeps giggling. So, as my curious side begins to take over, I inch myself their way.

"You were great up on stage. Maybe you should sing more often." He compliments her. She looks down and smiles.

"Thank you. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. Depends on how many people want to hear me sing." She says back still looking towards her feet.

"Well, I want to hear you sing more. Can you sing for me later?" He asks grabbing her hands and looking her in the eyes.

"Of course I will." She blushes harder.

"Great, meet you outside at the Becoming Alpha party." He winks and leaves her there smiling away. I walk over to her and I cross my arms.

"Were you listening to my conversation with Derek?" She hides her face in her hands.
