Alphas, Betas & Protectors

5. Dress Rehearsal

Lorraine was trying on a dress at the dress rehearsals. When she came out the lady in charge said "Wow. You look beautiful Lorraine." She had a private dress rehearsal because she was the beta's sister. Gillian also had her own private dress rehearsal. Lorraine couldnt wait to join the others for the cheese and drinks reception.

"I agree. She does look beautiful." A voice said.

Lorraine couldnt believe the alpha was there. She sighed and looked down just like the lady in charge. "Thank you Alpha."

The lady in charge of the dress rehearsals said "Alpha. Thank you for coming. May I help you? Do you want any refreshments perhaps."

The alpha said "Leave us. I will call you back in."

The lady said "Yes alpha." She then left. 

Lorraine kept looking down. 

The alpha approached her and she felt his eyes all over her. She hated how dominant he was. He truly was a strong alpha. 

Gavin took a deep breath as he said "Look up Lorraine."

Lorraine looked up into alpha Gavin's eyes.

Gavin stared into her eyes "Look at you. You look so stunning today. I wished to keep you alone here so I could admire you." He then put his hands behind his back and started walking around her "You know... I wish you knew what is going on in my mind right now. I really wish you did..."

He looked at her up and down as she could feel his strong presence around her that would have intimidated anyone else if she was anyone else. But she was a beta wolf. The full attention of the alpha could be on her and her knees wouldn't buckle. Other girls would have knelt at his feet if he unleashed his powers quite easily. But it would have taken more power from the alpha to make her kneel. 

Gavin was now face to face with her one more time "To think a vile human asked you to this celebration makes my blood boil Lorraine. It makes me very angry. I cant wait for tomorrow morning. No one deserves you... No one but an alpha wolf."

Lorraine looked away as the intensity of his stare really bothered her.

Gavin ordered "Look at me Lorraine."

Lorraine looked at Gavin.

Gavin said "You must know that I need to pick a girl to accompany me tonight... I need to have a girl by my side..." He smiled. 

She felt sick as she was understanding what he could suggest next. No way. 

Gavin said "I need you by my side tonight. You are only worthy. What do you say Lorraine? Will you be my date Lorraine."

She knew she couldnt refuse the alpha. She just couldnt. No one did. 

She tried to reason with him "I am honoured that you have asked me alpha. I truly am...."

Gavin smirked "Very well. I am glad."

She said slowly and carefully "But... I must say I think you deserve someone different. There are better girls out there alpha. Please choose someone else."

Gavin frowned "Nonsense. Only you are worthy. You are the only girl I want Lorraine... I have waited so long to court you. Finally your sixteenth birthday came. I knew you were ready for me now. I am eighteen. Everyone expects me to have a mate by now.... I choose you for now as my companion... And we will see where it leads... I cant date another girl Lorraine. There is just you for me... There has always been just you..."

She said "I am sorry... But I need to ask my brother for permission. As you know he is my guardian." She hoped he could get her out of it. 

Gavin said "Don't worry about your brother. If he refuses, I will make this an alpha order for you to be my companion for tonight. He cant refuse an alpha's order. So dont think about asking for permission. The issue is resolved..."
