The Alpha’s Mate

(Elena P. O. V)

We were seated at a special table for all the important people. I looked around, and made eye contact with Oliver, then looked away quickly. Xavier stepped onto the stage to make a little speech. He thanked us all for coming and for donating. The crowd erupted in cheers, I clapped along, and Xavier smiled lovingly at me. The people began chattering, and the rest of the evening went by like any other evening.

I talked to some people, and with the skills of a ninja, I avoided Oliver for the whole night.

Xavier walked up to me, “May I have this dance, my lady?” I giggle like a little schoolgirl.

I look at the dance floor. Nobody is dancing. “There is nobody dancing; isn’t that just weird,” I say, feeling doubtful.

“They are waiting for me to have the first dance. After we started dancing, people will follow our lead, believe me.” Xavier holds out his hand for me to take. I carefully take his hand, and he leads us up to the dance floor. The music starts. I look into Xavier’s eyes, and we start to do a simple waltz. After a few moments, multiple people start joining us, and my worries disappear like snow in front of the sun.

The music stops, and James bows for me. I make a little bow as well, and cheers erupt from the crowd. We walk off the dance floor again, and another song starts. I see Oliver walking towards the DJ, probably requesting some song.

Xavier walks off to talk to some people for business and leaves me alone, just standing there awkwardly. I quickly start to walk away before anybody notices me standing there alone. Until someone else grabs my hand and drags me to the dance floor, I look up to who it is, and I see Oliver looking at me. The music starts, and Oliver starts moving me over the dance floor. I’m so mesmerized by Oliver that Oliver leads me with ease, not even having a hard time. I make the most intriguing moves.

The music stops, and we stare into each other eyes. My chest is heaving up and done because of the dancing. The crowd erupts in loud cheers, and catcalls are heard everywhere. I look around and see that we are the only ones on the dance floor. I free myself from his grip and start walking away.

But Oliver stops me by grabbing my wrist. I look into his eyes and try to see what he’s thinking. Before I even can do anything, Oliver throws me over his shoulder and starts walking away. I’m too confused to even struggle in his grip. We move through to the crowd, and I see James looking at me, confused. He looks lost. I shrug at him, not knowing what to do.

I’m hit with the cold air when Oliver comes outside. His butt looks good from this angle. I’m put in a car and strapped in the seat. A few seconds later, Oliver steps in and drives away.

“Oliver, what the hell was that” I scream at Oliver.

“Are you fucking insane? You can’t just pull me out of a fucking crowded event like that. I was there with a fucking date. You can’t just pull me away like that.” I could kill him right now.

Oliver hasn’t said a single word since we started driving. He hasn’t said a single word for the entire event. It gets on my nerves. I have no idea what is going on in his head. I can’t read his face. Oliver has a perfect poker face. The closer we get to the house, the more nervous I get, and the more butterflies are in my stomach as well. It confuses me.

I zone out for a few minutes, and slowly I drift off to sleep, tired from standing on killer heels and dancing.

I watch Oliver as he throws Elena over his shoulder and walks away from the party. I was about to run after them, but Manson came and stopped me.

“Alpha Xavier, I am sorry for coming in your way like this. I would like to apologize to you for what Oliver did tonight. I hope you did not take your anger down on our pack. If you want, I can talk to Oliver and make him explain to everyone at the party,” Manson said to me while bowing his head in shame.

“We can talk about that later. First, I have to go and rescue Elena. What if something happens to her?” I said to him and started walking again. But Manson stopped me again.

“What now?” I ask while trying to get my Lycian under control, who doesn’t want anything more than to go and save our mate?

“Oliver is never going to hurt her,” Manson said while looking down at the ground.

“And why is that?” I ask him, irritated with all this interruption.

“Because Elena is his mate. And as a werewolf, you know that we are not capable of hurting our mates, right?” Mansion asks me while I look at him with wide eyes, in shock.

*There is no way that Elena is Oliver’s mate too. He is saying that just to protect Oliver and his pack, right?* I thought.

*He is right, Xavier. Elena is meant to be with both of you.* My Lycian Knight said to me.

*But how is it possible?* I ask him.

*It is possible. When a werewolf mate dies before they get the chance to meet their mate, the Moon goddess creates a second chance mate for them so that they won’t have to spend their life alone, which means Elena is yours or Oliver’s second chance mate.* Knight explains to me.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

*I am confused even more now.* I said to Knight, and I heard him sign.

*For example, let’s say A and B are two males a werewolf. X and Y are their first chance, mate. And Z is A and B’s, second chance mate. But X died before they got the chance to meet her mate A. So the moon goddess makes Z meet A as his second chance mate. But one day, B and Z meet first by coincidence and feel the pull and get attached. And if Z meets A before completing the mating process with B, then Z will be mated to both of them since Z feels pulled toward two of them.* Knight explains to him.

*What if Z meets B after completing the mating process with A?* I ask him.

*Then B has to spend his life alone or mated with someone else, but their bonds will not be the same as their bond with their real mate. but it never happened in the whole werewolf history.* Knight said to me.

*But is it possible for A and B to meet Z, their second chance mate, at the same time and become mates with both of them?* I ask him.

*Yes, but it is an infrequent occurrence. it happens in 10, 000 years.* Knight said to me.

*Man, this is all confusing and frustrating at the same time. I am getting a headache just by thinking about it.* I said to him.

*You tell me about it,* Knight said and slumped down on the floor in my mind.

“I know, but I still wanted to go and make sure that she was safe. Don’t worry. I am not going to do anything stupid or create a scene there.” I said to Manson.

“But what about the part, then?” Manson asks me.

“I will handle it, and it was on its end anyway. You can leave peacefully,” my beta Govinda said while walking toward us.

“And what about the media/press?” Manson asks him.

“I have taken care of them when you and Elena guys enter the hall. They didn’t know anything about it. So it will be okay. The only people who know about it are those people who are present at the party and I will take care of them, ” Govinda said to me.

“I will help too,” Manson said to the. I thank them and walk out of the party. I got inside my car and drove to Oliver’s mansion.
