I was with my dad as I kept my head down not wanting to draw attention to myself. I could hear girl's excited screams. Everyone knew that it was an honor to be picked by the alpha as his mate. It was very helpful financially. The poorest people could become almost royalty if they got picked. I kept starting at the ground when suddenly everyone around me grew quite. I could hear dead leaves crunch and a intoxicating scent of pinewood filled my nose.
I looked up to see a muscular and very handsome man. He had slick black hair with light hazel eyes that looked almost like fire. He had a beautiful sculpted body and I could see the outline of his abs through his shirt. I immediately recognized him even without seeing him before. He was the supreme alpha.
As he walked closer to me I immediately put my head down not wanting to get noticed but God had other plans. I suddenly heard him stop to a girl very close to me. I breathed a very heavy sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off my forehead. It was stupid of me to think he wanted me as his mate. He stopped in front of a girl named Grace. She had beautiful straight short brown hair that fell at her shoulders. She looked like a goddess. I had seen a lot of boys in my tribe ask her out but every time they asked her she said her heart belonged to the alpha.
As he came to a stop he spoke. His voice was deep, husky, and a tad seductive. "Can you move?" What did he just say?!
Grace fumed with anger. She suddenly turned around to see the girl that the alpha wanted instead of her. She was livid when she saw who it was. It was some bitch that everyone talked about. She had no idea who it was and was about to slap the girl when she was suddenly pushed aside.
I suddenly started panicking. I looked up at Grace who was fuming with anger. I thought I could see steam coming out of her ears. The alpha suddenly pushed her aside and stood before me. I was suddenly surrounded by his intoxicating scent. He stood tall before me with the top of my head lining up to his chest. I gulped as I stood in his presence.
I could feel him look me up and down as if to make sure of something before he spoke. I could suddenly feel my dad shaking and glanced at him to see a horrified look on his face. Why was he looking so worried and scared. I was pulled back to reality when a deep voice spoke. "What is your name?"
"..." "Emma" I said shyly hoping he would pick someone else and move on but it did not look like he would.
Eli suddenly looked at the girl in front of him. She was slightly taller than the others but short compared to him. She had beautiful long legs with a slightly tan face. She had roses red cheeks probably due to the cold. This was the first time he saw her up close and was taking in every detail.
She smelt like flowers with a hint of vanilla. He liked the soft smell as he was always used to strong perfumes girls wore to get his attention. He suddenly asked her what her name was out of curiosity. She replied with "Emma" It was a short reply but it sounded sweet to his ears. The name made his heart flutter and got his inner wolf riled up.
He could tell from her tone that she was scared. He looked at her hair that was a snow blonde. It was lightest shade their was. She was wearing her hair in a long loose braid that showed all of her face's soft features. He suddenly looked at her thin lips and wondered what they would taste like.
He then looked her in the eyes. He found her eyes enchanting and as blue as the water she had manipulated when he first saw her. He watched as she held his gaze. He was takin a back to this as he usually watched as people lowers their heads out of fear. He had not mistaken when she spoke scared but now there was no trace of fear on her face.
Eli then made up is mind. This girl was meant to be his mate. The way his heart fluttered when she spoke her name and the urge he had to hold her in his warm embrace all told him that she was his mate. "I choose you as my new mate" he suddenly said.
I was in shock by his words. Did he really just say that?! I kept replaying what he said in my head to make sure it was true. Then I pinched myself hard on the side to make sure it wasn't a dream and to my horror it wasn't. I looked at my dad who looked like he was going to faint and then the realization hit me. I was the alpha's mate. This should be fun! (Sarcasm)
