Alpha Athena

chapter IV - my instincts

-Sebastian's POV-

"This meeting was a good decision, Alpha." My beta, Malcolm said, as we sat beside each other at a wide round table in an empty conference room.

"When was my decision never good?" I scoffed, raising my eyebrows.

Peace has never been discussed among the other packs. Every other pack in the State would secretly invade a weaker house just for two reasons: Power and Riches. Power makes the heart of a person greedy for more blood to be shed. Money feeds the greed of that person. As we all know, humans are never satisfied of what they have, and so its a never ending cycle of killing one another for the sake of power and money.

Establishing peace should be made sooner or later or else, another innocent life will be taken away. Having the largest pack in the North in the State was an advantage for me to gather all the packs in the area. With my vast connection with other packs and how they see me as an intimidating Alpha, orders were followed and so this meeting was made.

"Well, let's see.." Malcolm trailed off, looking at the ceiling as if trying to remember something.

"We have Rosemarie, Angel, Jane, Jenni-" He counted his fingers.

"Those aren't related to my field of work as an Alpha." I countered, propping my elbow on the armchair and placing my hand under my chin.
"It's not my fault my mate is nowhere to be found." I shrugged, scratching my stubble with my thumb.

"I'm already 25 years old Mal, a man has his needs." I added.

Malcolm raised his hands up in surrender. "I'm just saying Seb, when you find your-"

"IF" I corrected. He rolled his eyes. "If you find your mate, what would you do with Elai-"

A knock was heard from the door and we stood up, straightening our suits. Malcolm walked across the room and opened the door. For the past several minutes, I watched as every alpha and beta stepped inside. Greetings, nods and handshakes were exchanged and acknowledged and we all went to our seats.

Almost everyone was here. But two seats in particular were still vacant. I glanced at my watch. 12:57 PM. No one should be damn late in this meeting. The men kept themselves occupied by talking with each other in low voices.

"Should we wait for the others?" Malcom whispered beside me.

"Let's wait until-"

A distinctive smell started filling my nose. A mixture of vanilla and fresh daisies made my wolf alert. My senses heightened when the scent was growing stronger each passing second. I clenched my jaw, staring at the door. She was surely going to walk through that door. My breathing was uneven and my heart was running its race.

12:58 PM

'Its our mate. Our mate.' My wolf kept on repeating, as if the torture was over and he could finally be united with her. I sucked in my breath as the doorknob turned and the doors were opened. A wave of sweet aroma washes over me in the room and I sure am damn thankful I was the only one who felt and smelled her scent.

Infront of me was a sight of wonder yet to be discovered. And that wonder was the sight of many eyes in the room. My hands balled into a fist. No one shouldn't be looking at her like that, except me.

"Mate." I declared, letting everyone in this room hear that she's mine. The word left my lips darkly as I gazed at her beauty. Her sky blue colored eyes locked with mine but she had a stormy expression, as if this wasn't supposed to happened or should not have happened at all.

I sure don't know how the hell she ended up here in this building but one thing I do know now is that, I finally found my mate.

I couldn't help but traced my eyes from her face, to her neck, down her chest that was giving off a slight cleavage from what she was wearing. Even the sight of her was driving my wolf crazy. How much more when I get to touch  and caress her?

She cleared her throat, snapping me out of my thoughts. I met her eyes back again and she sure damn wasn't happy.

-Athena's POV-

I watched as his eyes traced down to my neck and settled on my chest. Typical men.

I cleared my throat and his eyes met mine again. I am stronger than my feelings. I am stronger than this. I repeated over and over again. He looked at me with a darkened expression.

The room was filled with silence as everyone's eyes were on me. They followed my figure as I walked across the room, my eyes still locked with his, in a manner not seducing but a manner of superiority. With my head held high, I approached him.

He bit his lip, eyeing me up and down. His eyes were already filled with so much lust. And I promised myself not to give in.

He stood up when I was approaching close to him. Another man also stood up from his chair, probably his beta. He looked stunned.

"Athena Grace, Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack." I introduced myself. , he looked confused . As with everybody else in this room, they all looked bewildered. And I knew why. Alpha's were suppose to be men right? But not this one.

He composed himself and reached out his hand to mine. "Sebastian Stone, Alpha of the Midnight Crescent Pack."

The moment our fingers touched, a tingling sensation traveled from my fingers throughout my whole body making me pull my hand away. My wolf wanted more than just a touch but I ignored her pleas. I told myself that my body was only reacting because of the mate pull. Just like any other feelings,this too will come to pass.

"It's about damn time." He exhaled as he stepped forward and tried to pull me into an embrace but my instincts kicked in. All my life, all I knew was to fight.

The next thing I know, his face was flat on the table with my arm on the back of his neck. The other, strangling both of his arms behind his back.
