The Alpha King's Mate

I woke up and I looked around my room. The sun's rays were shining down on my face. I smiled, I love when Mother Nature does that, blesses me when I wake up.

I got out of my bed and walked to the bathroom. I opened one of the doors to get some toothpaste, mouthwash, and my facial wash set.

I brushed my teeth, took another quick shower and wrapped a towel around my body as I went back into the room to get some clothes to wear for the day. I picked out a pair of jean shots, with a long sleeve white crop top, paired with my low all black Converses and put it on.

I saw the bear that Faith gave me on the floor, so I picked it up and placed it on the bed, after I made it up.

I went back to the bathroom to do my face routine. I grabbed my phone along the way and started to shuffle the 'Today's Top Hits' playlist from Apple Music. When I got my music playing, I began to wash my face and then went to grab my hair products to do my hair. I used some edge control to sleek back my wild curls into a low messy bun with my baby hairs laid.

I applied some clear lipgloss, cleaned my bathroom counter, stopped my playlist, and left my bathroom. I am never one to apply too much makeup on at a time.

I then got my traveling sketchbook, drawing supplies, my headphones, and phone, placed it in my bag, gave myself a once over in the mirror and left my room.

As soon as I left my room, I smelled the sweet smell of breakfast and followed the scent to the kitchen.

I found my Aunt Morgan and Uncle Benjamin sitting at the breakfast bar, sipping on their morning coffee.

"Good morning guys," I said as I poured my own cup of coffee, got some chicken and waffles, and sat down.

"Good morning Hope" they said in unison.

"Do you know what you are going to do today?" Aunt Morgan asked me.

"I want to try and go sightseeing today" I said

"Good dear, because I already mind li- I mean called Alexander and he said that he is free today to be your tour guide. He is on his way as we speak." She said

"Okay that's great" I said as I continued eating.

As soon as I finished eating, the doorbell rang and I began to make my way towards the door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Alexander" said the husky voice.

I opened the door and I found Alexander leaning against the door frame looking at me up and down, smiling. He had a pair of Ray Bans on his eyes, which he quickly moved to take off and put into his pocket. He was easily the cutest boy I have ever seen, but I just moved here. Get a grip on yourself Hope, I said to myself as I caught myself staring at him. He murmured something I could not quite catch.

"Did you say something" I asked

"Nope" He said as he made his way into the house.

I closed the door behind him as he passed me. He was easily another foot taller than me, making my small 5'3'' frame seem even smaller.

I led him into the kitchen, even though he probably knew where he was going.

"Good morning Morgan and Benjamin" he said with the beautiful voice of his.

I don't know why I can't control myself, he probably has a girlfriend anyways.

My aunt then got up and tapped my shoulder, "Earth to Lizzie" she said.

"Sorry, I spaced out"

"It's not problem, I just finished asking Alexander where he was bringing you today" she said.

Well, now I feel like an idiot, I have no idea where we are going because I couldn't pay attention to a five minute conversation.

"Don't worry Morgan, I'll bring her home before 11pm" Alexander said as he started making his way towards the door.

"Wait before we go, let me get my camera, so I can take some good pictures" I said as I began to turn around.

"No worries love, I'll wait for you right here" He said making direct eye contact with me, letting me into his warm hazelnut eyes, before I made my way up the stairs.

I grabbed my camera and noticed that my window was open, so I went to close it. I then saw something moving in the corner of my eyes, presumingly in the bushes, but when I looked closer, I couldn't find anything. Oh well, it was probably my imagination I told myself as I went back downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen to find Alexander having a pretty important looking conversation to my family.

"Am I interrupting?" I said as I made my way closer to him

"No, not at all, we can get going if you want love"

"Okay, bye guys" I said as I waved goodbye to my uncle and aunt.

They smiled back at me as I walked out of the kitchen. As soon as we started to walk down the driveway, Alexander's hand started to slip around my waist and the weirdest sensation started to erupt all over my body. I felt tingles originating from where he touched me and it spread out and grew butterflies deep in my stomach. Weird.

We approached a sleek black Jeep Wrangler parked behind my aunt's car.

"Is this your's?"

"Yep, I worked on it myself" He said with a mischievous look in his eye as he opened the passenger door for me.

I sat down, buckled my seatbelt and saw him walk over the the driver's seat and begin to start the car.

After asking where we were going, Alexander responded, "Well, that's for me to know and for you to find out later" with a cute wink as he pulled out of the driveway.
