Chapter two
Arthur's pov
I sneered at the mess of orange juice on the floor just before I took a casual sip of my wine.
“Alpha Arthur, our VIP table is just across. Do you prefer we stand throughout the entire coronation?” My Beta, Jeremy sneered, swindling his own glass of wine.
“You're supposed to drive us back home tomorrow. Are you sure you should be drinking. You know how you are with hangovers.” I disregard his earlier question as I scanned the area with my eyes.
Where was she?
I swear I could smell her. Her scent was Invading my head, messing my senses in a way that infuriated me, because I rarely had anything on my mind which bothered me. But she… I hadn't met her, but she was all I could think of all night. It was either she was really good at hiding or she doesn't even realize it.
The moon goddess better not have given me a weakling for a mate. I am an Alpha King. I will not make a weak pussy my Luna.
“It's my last glass for the night. I swear.” He said before leading me to the VIP table out Infront of the stage where there were other tables around.
Esteemed guests, consisting of other Alphas from several packs and honorable guests all had their tables.
I on the other hand had wanted mine to be secluded, away from everyone else as I was least interested in faking a smile and pretending I liked anyone in the room. Unfortunately there was one other VIP table behind it and I recognized the woman admist her friends. Her father was the Shaman of the pack. Fiona.
From the corner of my eyes, I could see them fluttering their lashes at me, almost throwing their boobs in my face, but Jeremy did a pretty of keeping them away from me.
I impatiently stared at my wrist watch, wondering what was keeping him.
“Relax big guy. You always act like you're allergic to events. That's why no one wants to form an alliance with your pack.” Jeremy sneered.
He was the only being on earth who could talk to me the way he did and still go about with his head on his neck, that was because he was my best friend and younger brother.
“They don't want to form an alliance with me because they're all cowards.”
“There are rumors that the Alpha being coronated tonight plans on forming an alliance with yours.”
I couldn't help the sneering smirk on my lips. He sounded quite daring, unlike his coward of a father. Let's see if he'll be able to then.
“Do you think she'll take the bait?” From upfront, I could still hear Fiona and her friends whispering in hushed voices.
Werewolves generally had sharp hearing senses, but they spoke in such a low synchronized tone it was obvious they didn't want to be heard. I on the hand, being bored and curious listened in.
They had forgotten an Alpha was right upfront so I could easily hear everything they said.
“Julianne is stupid as hell. That's why she'll never see it coming,” Fiona spoke with so much spite, I wondered what rhis Julianne giel had done to her. “I've already spoken to one of the guards. Once Julianne drinks the spiked drink, I'll send her upstairs and there, the guard will finally take her virginity .”
“It's a risky plan Fiona. How are we sure she won't put up a fight.”
“I didn't just spike the drink with any ordinary drug. It's a fast action Aphrodisiac. The guard should be the one on the look out this time around.” AT her words, everyone left and I was just left speechless.
Suddenly, the mate scent hit me again, but this time, it was so strong I felt it clench my heart tightly, making me forget to breathe for a few seconds.
“Claim your mate Arthur! She's right there!” My mate lashed in the confines of my mind, straining to take control.
I turn without bothering to care I might attract attention and see her, dressed in a maid apron and holding a glass of wine with shaky hands.
Just as my heart had swelled in excitement of meeting and marking my mate, it deflated considerably at the sight of her.
A maid? An Omega was my mate? The future bearer of the heir to my Empire was a mere Omega. I could barely even get a wiff of her wolf nor connect with it which meant she either didn't have one or it was very weak.
I was so angry I turned away, ignoring the nagging feeling in me to mark her and claim her as my own. How long have I waited for this moment, only to be disappointed and humiliated in such way.
“Julianne it's just wine. We're at a party so drink it.”
My heart sunk to my chest when I realized their victim, Julianne was no other than my mate.
I squeezed my fist as I tried to focus on the performance on the stage, looking for anything, any body which would help.me take my mind off her.
Whatever they had planned for her was none of my business. She's not my mate and she never will.
“I'll be back.”
“Alpha Arthur, you're not supposed… “
But I had already matched far off, ignoring his words. It seemed very inch of the dance floor had traces of her on it so with a cup of strong alcohol, I took the the stairs.
I didn't know for how long I had to wait, moving to and fro on the upper floors, downing glass after glass of shots until I couldn't think anymore, but only thoughts of her.
I would just leave.
With that, I began heading for the stairs when I see a man bundle a small woman into a room admist her protest. The mate scent drew me a few steps towards the room but I held back, eyes brimming in hate and anger.
Do I seriously feel pity for someone like her. She's a maid. A useless Omega. She's only fulfilling one of her purposes as a sex slave. I shouldn't think much of it.
I turn, ignoring whatever was going on, but my wolf was relentlessly on holding back. “Our Mate's in danger!”
“We don't have a mate!” I growled, but I couldn't move, each time I would turn back to the room, worried at the sudden silence. The thought of another man's hands on her infuriated me the more and in seconds, I swiftly kicked down the door and made my way in.
My mate, seeing her up close, looked small, frail, scared and confused on the bed, already fully naked while the disgusting beast stood over her, already running his dirty fingers across her legs.
“A- Alpha Arthur.” He starts stuttering as I approach him, but a punch to the nose sends him staggering back, blood already matting his lips like a thick coat.
“You have less than 3 seconds to get out of my sight or I'll make sure you never see the light of day again.” Before I could finish, he grabbed his clothes and dashed out of the room.
My eyes langly fell on the naked woman on the bed, taking in how sexy she looked. She was small, but her curves were one that belonged to a fully grown woman. Seeing her waist, my throat grew patched as I imagined them In my hands as I pumped into her.
I wonder how her pussy would feel around my cock.
A moan from her lips snapped me from her reverie. She looked flushed and rubbed both legs uncomfortably across each other.
“I feel so hot… “ she moaned again, cupping her bossoms and pressing it against her chest. I had wanted to leave, every part of me wanted to walk right across the room and run for my life, but every bit of sanity was lost seeing her in heat, and touching herself.
I lean in to Inhale her scent, a muffled growl leaving my lips as I flicked my tongue over the sensitive area around her neck. She moaned, cupping her arms around my neck just before she kissed me. The next second, my arms grabbed my waist, pulling her close to me, our bodies entangling as we collapsed on the bed together.
