Masked Mate---(Completed)

Chapter 11

Layla’s POV

My father’s warm hands shook me awake lightly, turning over to face him as my eyes adjusted to the dim room that was slowly filling with light from the open window. “Time for the meeting darling” he whispered, I groaned lightly and rolled out of bed.

Checking the small and simple band was still in place on my finger I walked over to the mirror wanting to know how unruly my hair was this morning. As my eyes met my reflection I noticed that meeting my mate had altered me slightly, my eyes instead of being the same chocolate brown now had flecks of golden amber running through them giving my eyes an otherworldly look.

‘Shit’ I said to myself but quickly my wolf gave me an explanation as to why it was happening ‘Its cause of our mate, he is already having an effect because he is an alpha, but it’s actually better for you cause he thinks his mate has brown eyes not brown and gold so it makes it easier to disguise yourself’

I nodded along with her simple and calm explanation knowing that she was right, I just prayed to myself that my dad wouldn’t ask any questions about the sudden eye change.  The sounds of my father outside bought me back to reality and I started getting dressed.

I walked over to my suitcase and pulled out a pair of jeans before shimmying into them, then grabbing a dark grey single shoulder jumper and dragging it over my head, before pulling on some doc martens. Grabbing my phone as I walked out the door as quietly as possible making sure not to wake any of the pack members.

I saw my father standing in the kitchen, creeping over to the kitchen I snuck around and grabbed the piece of toast as it flew out of the toaster. I smirked up at him as he scowled a little at me, “Now that is just rude….stealing the Alpha’s toast, when he wasn’t expecting it” he grumbled under his breath.

Laughing I took a huge bite from the side and began to walk toward the doors, ‘Come on un-toast worthy Alpha, get your but moving’ I linked him as I continued toward the steps. Soon an arm linked through mine and he took the toast back before shoving it in his mouth.

‘I am defiantly worthy of toast’ he retorted, I grinned over at him as we walked down the stairs and snuck quietly through the packs quarters to the ballroom. It was spotless now and our footsteps echoed out in the quiet, as we walked I turned the ring around on my finger hoping that it would work, so I could have some time to decide whether I wanted to be with him or not.

A pair of elder wolves stood by the doors to their apartments, they opened the door and lead us through to the meeting room, where all the other Alpha’s and Luna’s where waiting except the Ignis Packs pair.

My father and I took a seat on a brown leather couch that felt like it sucked you in as you sat down, we sat in silence for a minute until the Ignis pack pair walked in, Hunter kept his head high looking down on everyone with an air of power.

An older woman trailed behind him giving us all a gentle smile, I reciprocated the smile as they sat down opposite us. An elder walked in from the door and smiled lightly before beginning to talk, “Welcome Alpha Pairs, it is within these meetings that you all will unanimously agree on new rules and conditions of wolf life, before this meeting commences I think some introductions are in order”

She smiled clapping her hands, gesturing to one of the Alpha Pairs, they stood with each other the man holding his mate protectively against his side, “My name is Alpha Paul and this is my mate Helen we are the Alpha and Luna of the Aura Pack” They seemed very happy both had dirty blonde hair with pale blue eyes, the Luna had a large bump protruding from her stomach.

They sat down and cuddled closer to each other before another pair stood up, this pair was older than the rest but you could tell they were mates from the way they stood as close as possible to each other, “We are the Alpha and Luna of the Aqua Pack, I am Alpha George and this is my lovely mate and wife Genevieve” they both had thin grey streaks running through their brownish blonde hair.
