Beauty and the Beast... Well Not Exactly✔️

Xavier's POV

"Lorenzo- "

"Sir please give me permission," he said. "Xavier I need to talk to her. Please, I don't think she realizes she used her luna voice on me. I can't talk to Maggie because of it."

I sighed. "Lorenzo I give you permission to talk with your mate," I said using my Alpha voice.

"It didn't work. I can feel her pull against me." he cried. "Xavier, why didn't it work?"

I shook my head. "I don't know. Lorenzo, it's impossible for it not to work. My commands hold the most power over anyone and everyone."

"Well obviously it doesn't," said Donnie. "I'll talk to Raven alright?"

Lorenzo nodded. "Thank you. Sir I'm going to go back to the house. I can't be around her when I'm not allowed to talk to her."

"Okay. I'll fix this Lorenzo you have my word."

I followed Donnie and Piper back into the party. Donnie went over to Raven and slapped something out of her hand. "What the hell Rave? A couple of drinks are one thing but now you're back into drugs?"

"Will you relax?" She asked sounding annoyed at him. "My life is pretty fucking messed up right now, so give me a break." She then grabbed her friend Maggie and they walked into the middle of the people and started dancing.

"Fuck" growled Donnie. "This is all your fault you know? She was a year sober when you ruined it."

I growled lowly at him. "It wasn't my fault. I was fine with keeping her father's wishes but one of his pack members came into the house."

Piper sighed. "It's neither of y'alls fault okay? This is a lot for her to handle so she is handling it the only way she thinks she can. Donnie as her best friend it's your job to help her and listen to her and help her get back on her feet. And Alpha Xavier it is your job as her mate to make her feel safe and happy." She then walked towards the girls and danced with them.

Donnie sighed. "I need a drink." He walked away leaving me alone. I noticed a few girls looking me over but now that I met Raven none of them were interesting to me. I walked over to an empty wall and leaned up against it as I watched Raven. She is the definition of beauty in my eyes. She danced with no care in the world, her problems seemed to vanish under the cover of alcohol and drugs.

She turned around and her eyes locked with mine. Her eyes brightened for a moment before her head shook. She whispered something in Maggie's ear before walking towards the drink table. She grabbed a cup before walking over and standing next to me. "What happened to Lorenzo?"

"He went back to the house," I told her. "As much as he wanted to be around his mate, he can't disobey a direct command from his Luna."

She rose an eyebrow at me in question. "What's a Luna?"

"Each pack is run by a family. The leader is called the alpha, it's the same in regular wolf packs. The alpha's mate is a Luna, she is the leading female."

"I don't understand." She said. "I'm not in his pack, I'm not in any pack."

I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're technically in your father's pack and because you're my mate you are in my pack making you his and everyone's Luna."

She drank the contents of her drink. "So I forced him not to be able to talk to her?" She asked.

I nodded. "Raven it isn't fair to not allow him near her. Not being around your mate could actually injure the other. He feels a physical form of separation pains."

"I didn't mean to." She said. "I'll undo my command or whatever when I see him okay?"

"Thank you." She nodded before going back to the beverage table. I saw her drink two more cups of alcohol before going back to dancing.

I could see from the way her body was moving she was drunk. I decided this might be the best time to see if she responds to me the way I respond to her. I walked through the crowd of people and over to the girls and Donnie. I touched Raven's hips lightly with fingers and leaned down next to her ear. "May I?" I whispered.

She turned her head to look at me. She nodded her head moving her hips gently back into me. She moved her hips against me in the beat of the music playing. Trying to test her responsiveness to me I moved one of my hands down and lightly touched her bare thigh. I felt the spark from our skin touching but I don't think she did. She made no jump or indication that she felt the spark. I hoped that because of her father that she might feel what I feel. It appears that her dominant gene is her human genes. I moved my hand back up and held her hips as she danced against me. I tucked my head into her neck and breathed in her scent. It took much of my control to keep from marking her right here. Instead, I touched my lips to her neck lightly. She tilted her head to the side giving me more access. I kissed her neck again lightly. She turned around in my arms and looked at me. She reached her arm up and touched my cheek. In less than a second, her emerald green eyes had a small ring of silver in them. She uttered a single word. "Mate."

Sorry, but I do love me a cliffhanger. I am very disappointed in myself because right now I have such writers' block for this story I haven't been able to finish one chapter. So if anyone has any good remedies for getting over writers' block I'm all ears.

Make sure to check out "The Princess and The Devil"(Completed) and its sequel "Don't Mess With the Queen"(Ongoing) which are both on my profile!
