The Lost Lycan Princess

Chapter 8 - The Alpha Engagement

So again, the above picture is what imagined as Elijah. I was obsess with the Vampire Diaries so Elijah was inspired by one the a characters Jeremy Gilbert! Enjoy my lovelies ☺️

Getting out of the shower with just a towel wrapped around my nude body, I walked into the bedroom and began to get ready for this so called Ball I would be attending tonight. I regretted agreeing to come to it but Kiera refused to let me back out. She was in her own bedroom getting ready. She was more then excited when I asked her to fix my hair and makeup for tonight as it's not something I had great skill in doing. Kiera on the other hand was greatly skilled. She was like my own personal hair stylist and beautician all in one.

I was busy trying to get keep my emotions in tack when I heard a loud knock on the door. Throwing in some denim shorts and a tank top, I walked out to answer the door and was surprised when I saw a tall muscular man standing at the door with a friendly smile on his face.

"Hi, I'm Elijah, Kiera's mate" he introduced himself as he put out his hand towards me. Taking it, I smiled welcoming at him.

"I'm Alison, Kiera's best friend. She's just getting ready if you wanna come in" I asked politely, gesturing for him to enter the apartment.

As we both walked in the kitchen, Kiera ran from her room and threw her arms around her mates neck as the both embraced in a passionate kiss. I watched as she ran her fingers through his coal black hair and he grabbed her ass with his right hand, pulling her closer to him as she gazed in his big brown eyes. Uncomfortable at the situation I was in, I coughed loudly in order to get their attention so they could break it up.

"Sorry" Kiera said apologitic as I chuckled at her reaction. I was happy to see her happy. I understood the feeling of finding your mate and the thought of my mate holding me like Elijah held Kiera made a smile. Hopefully it wouldn't be too long till that dream became a reality.

"I just came by to say hi. The Alpha's Fiancé asked me to come and pick up the Alpha's suit at the tailors" he frowned as he spoke and I knew something was up. I didn't want to interage my best friend's mate the first time we met but that didn't stop Kiera from doing it.

"What's the matter babe?" She asked with concern. Elijah gave her a warm smile, "nothing, it's just the Alpha. His not being himself lately. This wedding is really getting to him" his voice was low and deep as he spoke. From his expression, I knew that Elijah and the Alpha were close friends and he worried about him.

"It's probably just nerves. What else could it be? I mean, his going to be marrying his mate, it should be the happiest day of his life" Kiera said softly trying it sooth her mate. Elijah looked at her and frowned again.

"The thing is, Ashley isn't Alpha Jackson's mate" he said with disgust in his voice. I couldn't understand. How could this Alpha marry someone who wasn't his mate? It was barbaric.

But that name was familiar, like I heard it somewhere before. Thinking hard for a moment, it suddenly hit me. I swallowed hard.

"Alpha Jackson as in 'The Blood Alpha?" I asked nervously. Everyone heard of The Blood Alpha at least once in their lives. I remember hearing stories about him, the ruthless killer who would torchure and execute wolves just for the fun of it. Nobody wanted to get on the wrong side of him unless they wanted a death wish. Elijah didn't answer, I think he was scared he would frighten us and we would change our minds about going tonight.

"Look I gotta run babe but I'll be here at 8 to pick you girls up" Elijah spoke changing the conversation. He gave me a friendly smile as a goodbye before he kissed Kiera in the temple and left the apartment.
