My Second Chance at Happiness

Chapter 3

I could feel everones eyes burning through my skin as I slowly made my way to the stage.

I grabbed Alpha Cody's hand and stood next to other girls who were also chosen.

"Each one of these girls show esquisite qualities and would make a fine queen. They have been carefully chosen and deemed worthy to participate in the chase for my heart. Samantha, Alexandra, Katherine, Cameron and Allison." He anounced while everyone cheered and we were taken off the stage.

Once I was offstage I could feel the initial shock I was feeling before begin to wear off. How could I be chosen to be queen? I could never rule a kingdom. I am completely ordinary. I am an average student, fairly shy, I like running, and only have a few friends.

"Just because you were chosen, doesnt mean it wasnt a mistake. It will eventually become known. I bet you'll be first to go sister." My sister told me with clear hatred in her eyes.

Shaking me out of my thoughts, I looked up at my sister getting ready to give her a piece of my mind.

"You..." I started, but was inturrupted by my family.

They instantly hugged my sister and congratulated her on her success. They told her how they just knew that she was going to win the Alphas heart. Starting to get uncomfortable, I just walked away knowing that none of them were going to talk to me.

I walked outside and went into the forest where I just sat down and stared at the stars. After a while someone came up next to me.

"Not enjoying the party?" He asked

I laughed without any humor and answered, "Ya i'm having a blast."

He didnt say anything for a minute and I finally spoke again.

"Why would you choose me? I mean theirs nothing special about me. I asked him.

He finally looked up at me and I was gasped slightly at the sight of me. He was just so perfect.

"You want to know why I chose you? You really want yo know?" He asked standing up and running his hands through his hair.

"Yes" I said determinedly and standing up also. "I want to know. I want to know why I could even come close to being a queen."

He looked me up with a fierce expression and backed me up in to a tree. I could feel my hands instinctively come up to his chest while his hands caged me in. And though I knew I should be afraid I was nowhere near it.

"I picked you because you are insanely smart, your teachers give you excellent recommendations, you run cross country, you are a great soccer player, everyone who knows you only has wonderful things to say about you, you are kind, independent, and lastly you are insanely beautiful. You deserve to be queen more than any one of the other girls in this kingdom. You would make a perfect queen." He said while slowly bringing his face closer to mine.

I was breathless. He managed to take everything about me and made into something amazing. Hearing his words almost convinced me that I could be queen. No one has ever made me feel as special as he just did. So much so that I felt myself leaning in to him also.

I felt his lips touch mine softly while my hands instantaneously ran through his thick black hair. I moaned lightly as his tongue came into contact with mine. We stayed like that for a few more mintutes before he relunctantly pulled away.

"I have to go. People must be looking for me." he said regretfully and slightly breathless.

"Ok. I should probably be going inside to. My family is probably looking for me." I said as I slowly peeled my hands out of his hair.

"Why don't you go first and I follow first." He told me.

"Ok." I said I walked into the house first.

"Where the hell have you been? I wanna go, I need my beauty sleep." My sister spat while she pulled me towards the door.

I looked back out just as we were walking out the door and saw the Alpha King staring straight at me with a slight smile on his face. And for the first time I was smiling to and looking forward to what tomorrow would bring.
