THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

The party had already started. It was taking place in the largest hall in the pack, located in the south wing of the Alpha’s building. It was rarely used, mostly reserved for occasions such as this which happened once in a while.

The females of the pack had really outdone themselves in the decorations of the hall, under the strict supervision of Melvina. There wasn’t to be any mistake of any kind. Today wasn’t a day for that. Today was her son’s birthday party, and not just that, the coronation of a new Alpha.

The dignitaries were already arriving in their numbers, girls and boys from neighboring packs attended too, no human was seen around. Of course not, this was a werewolves’ party, though the attendance of some supernaturals weren’t banned.

Alpha Peter is seen at the entrance of the hall, welcoming the very important guests to his son’s coronation service, most of them being Alphas of other packs, including his elder brother. He would be a liar if he had said that he hadn’t been expecting the latter. They both exchanged formal greetings, a bit exaggerated as they were thought to be family, before Peter walked with him inside the hall. Arnold seemed to have been the last dignitary to arrive. The other Alphas who had been invited all came earlier. Anthony had done a good and fast job. He thought, even as he motioned one of his trackers to ask about the latter. He hadn’t seen him since the party started. He hadn’t actually seen him since he had sent him off on the errand, hadn’t heard from him since the latter had communicated to him about the strange vampires that had filled him in about the secret plot of the evil witch and the White Sted Pack. but he wasn’t really worried. Anthony was strong, and he could take good care of himself.

Inside the hall, his neice, Maya, gave him a thumbs up. Everything was ready, it meant. Everything was set. He nodded at her with a smile, a smile which freezed up the next second his eyes came in contact with his brother. The latter had a questioning look on his face as he darted his cold blue eyes between him, and his daughter. He must be wondering when I and the little lady got close. Peter mused, fixing a smile again when the Alpha of Black Guides Pack came to greet him and talk about the upcoming conference, a meeting he had hidden from his brother. He hoped that none of the members of the board would betray him by informing the latter. There would be a blood call if that happens.

At the end of the hall was Maya. she had noticed the exchange between her father and her uncle, but she wasn’t really concerned by that at the moment. No, her momentarily concern was the sweet scent she was inhaling now. She would have loved to believe that the goddess had been grateful to grant her another mate, but in her heart of hearts, she knew that it was not possible, at least for her. She cast a look at her green lace gown that stopped right above her knees for the hundredth time, smoothening invisible creases on it, checking to see if it was fitted. Derek had told her that she looked her best, and Esther had seconded that motion; but right now, she felt like those reviews hadn’t been enough, especially as the delicious smell invading her nose got thicker.

He was nearer. She thought, a bit frantic. In these types of moments, she needed Emma. The redhead alone would know what to do in this situation. She missed her. Since the visitors had started arriving, she had been on the lookout for any sign of a redhead, but none. Wouldn’t she come? Was she really in captivity?

Her breath caught in her nostrils, as she watched Leo step into the hall, looking all ravishing and handsome. Feeling hot the next second when she saw that he wasn’t alone. His girlfriend, the Zoe girl, was clutched to him by the arms. She felt the pain and anger run through every part of her body. How long would she wait for him to feel the mate bond, just how long?? Damn her father! She cussed, her lips trembling. She knew she was shaking.

Pep-talking herself into control, she shifted her gaze from him, not wanting him to catch her staring at him and his sexy minion-oh yes, she had to admit that the Zoe girl was a beautiful female specimen too. She let her eyes wander to her brother. He was staring at her, his eyebrows furrowed. She sighed, knowing that he had caught her ogling at Leo. But the girl beside him caught her attention. Who was she?This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Penny. An annoying brat. I don’t know where she came from to make my life miserable. Dad forbade her going anywhere, after the last attack at my birthday party. I think she is the one that he wants me to mate with. But I don’t feel anything from her. I don’t even know anything about her. Dad doesn’t want to talk about it. Mom too. She looks tired these days.” she heard her brother report to her through the mind link, and gritted her teeth. At first glance, she had thought Penny, beautiful, innocent even, with her large brown eyes, but now, after her brother’s explanation, the whole ideology had changed. The girl was a conniving bitch. She thought, feeling nostalgic at that time. She wanted to see her mother, realizing that the latter was home alone. She hadn’t come along with her mate to the party.

“I second that.” her brother mentioned, and she smiled. She had missed him.

“I have missed you too. Where is Derek?” he asked, forcefully pulling his hand away from Penny’s. He was tired of keeping up with her stupid demands. He didn’t know how long he would last, but he was sure it wasn’t that long.

“I believe he is still in his room. He is nervous, and Anthony isn’t around to talk him up. Aunt went out to pay a visit to one of her friends. I don’t know if you heard of this, but Emma is missing, and Derek is being possessed; a possession that only Emma could save him from, if she returns today. I think that’s what Aunt had gone out to do; A last try at finding where the human is. The day is almost over.” She replied, shocking Curtis.
