Born For The Alpha

Arda hated the confidence he had in himself and his pack. She also wondered why they were so comfortable just because the enemy packs sort of feared them.

She let her eyes dwell across the group. “That doesn’t mean that the enemy packs are not planning anything.” She couldn’t help but tell them even though she was sort of afraid of them all. They weren’t humans. She was the only human among them.

“She is a wise one.” The Elder said.

“Sure.” Gillow agreed, his eyes on Arda’s face. “Fate has chosen correctly.”

Arda carefully avoided his gaze, looking at every other place but him. “Now there is just one person missing to complete this fearless pack.” He said loudly, drawing her attention back to him as evidenced by her eyes which had returned to his.

“Who?” she asked.

“There’s someone else in the pack but the one I’m talking about right now is you, my mate.” His hand squeezed hers and she knew not to antagonize him by denying him, at least not verbally. Arda felt hot tears stinging the backs of her eyes.

Gillow lifted his voice and addressed the pack. “I grow weary of the waiting. Things must be put in place, starting with the ceremony.”

The Elder cleared his throat. “What time do you envision?” he asked.

“In three days.” Gillow said with a note of finality.

“What…what ceremony?” Arda asked him, hating how she was stuttering with fear.

He looked down at her, his gaze fixed intensely on hers. “The ceremony of our mating.” He said determinedly, causing her to swallow hard with utmost dread. She couldn’t hold back the gasp that escaped her.

“But you can reject him if you want.” A sultry and sonorous female voice intruded. Everyone turned in the direction of the new voice and Arda saw a pretty young woman around Gillow’s age standing at the entrance to where they were. She must have moved in that Vampire speed because she had appeared so fast. The others didn’t look so surprised though.

The woman looked flawless with her ivory skin, smile and bold makeup. Her lips were covered in a lovely cherry lipstick and she looked really brazen as she walked up to Gillow and hugged him tightly, her eyes taunting as they fell on Arda’s.

“Hi, Moonchild, I’m Baby.”

“Baby?” Arda found the name strange.

“That’s what he used to call me.” She said conspiratorially and winked at her. Arda’s brows came together in a frown. She didn’t like this Baby or whatever she called herself. The irony was that, she had no particular reason for that.

Gillow abruptly disengaged from her. “You’re late.” He said, frowning with displeasure. She bowed briefly, a sexy smile on her face. Then she straightened up.
