Sophie's POV
"You don't get it, he was this tall" Sophie jumps in excitement as she describes her groom to Serena. Serena laughs and shakes her head.
"Girl I still can't believe you jolted off" adds Toby as he munches on the fries.
"I was nervous alright. He looked too good my whole body was shaking" Sophie reasons herself.
"And you're still shaking" laughs Toby.
"But at least should have asked for his number, his name," Serena tells her jumping friend.
"You're right" Sophie drops to the bed in disappointment. "And I'll probably never meet him again" she groans and buries her head in her hands.
"There's something we can do. It's not like we can't find a man" Serena calms down Sophie, feeling sad for her.
"Maybe" Toby stood for a dramatic effect "maybe we should go and talk to Nina. I'm sure she knows everybody who steps foot in that damn cafe" Nina was the owner of that place, and also a fellow selkie.
"That's a great idea. We should go there right now." Sophie jumps up in the excitement and turns to her friend "it's not like we have something to do till Steven and Carl are back. Pleasssseeee" she makes a crying face in front of Serena.
Serena sighs "Fine. But not before I tell Steven and Carl that we're leaving"
Both Toby and Sophie jumped in excitement as Serena made her way to the exit of the room.
Within 15 minutes, all three of them were standing in front of the cafe. Sophie and Toby jolted out of the car as soon as Serena parked.
-idiots- Serena thought and rolled her eyes, following them back inside.
When she finally entered the cafe, she saw Sophie and Toby talking to Nina's cafe manager.
"She'll be here in a minute. Hey Serena" Mark, the cafe manager looked at Serena and waved.
Mark and Serena have hooked up in the past but Serena stopped it as Mark started arching feelings for her.
"Hey, Mark" Selena nodded and started making small talks with him.
"Hey, my lovelies" Nina joined them soon, as promised by Mark. Nina was an old-aged lady who left the selkie world because she met a human and married him when she was on a tour to the human world.
For Sophie, Nina has always had an ideal life, the same one she wished to live as well, and now that she found her groom, she can peacefully live it probably.
"Hey, Nina" all of them hugged her at once. It didn't matter that they were 22, they've always been a child for her.
"Nina I need to tell you something. About my groom" Sophie exclaimed as soon as they broke the hug.
Nina's eyes went wide in shock and excitement. "Maybe we should talk about this in my room" Nina commented.
She didn't want to talk about it in front of the humans, even Mark as he was a human as well.
"So, tell me about it. Who is he? Do I know him?" Nina almost shouted as soon as they entered her room.
"You do know him" Sophie answered but she couldn't make herself answer the rest so she looked at her friends for help. As an answer, they shrugged.
"That's amazing! Who is he then?" Nina asked handing over them their favorite muffins.
"Umm, I don't know" Sophie smugly answered.
"She ran away like an idiot when he gave her her coat. They just met today in the morning" Toby peeked in the conversation, munching on his muffin.
Nina's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
"Well, they just met in this cafe so we thought you might know him" Serena simplified it and Sophie nodded.
Understanding her part, Nina nodded grinning "I'll be happy to help. So you remember what did he look like or when did you meet?" A newfound enthusiasm filled Nina as she was happy to be helpful.
"Yes I do" a dreamy look came over Sophie's face.
"Stop drooling over the muffins" Toby commented as Sophie rolled her eyes.
"Shut up!" Sophie exclaimed "Nina, he was this tall" she practically jumped " he was muscular, he had brown eyes, brown hair, and tanned skin. I think he came here with a blonde guy" Sophie scratched her head, trying to remember the look of the second guy.
"Um, what time was it?" Nina questioned as she opened up her laptop.
"Around 10 I think" answered Sophie.
"You keep a record of everyone who orders?" Questioned Toby as Nina kept on making clicking noises from her laptop.
"No silly, we have CCTV cameras" Nina laughed.
This filled Sophie with joy as she got filled with joy.
After a few minutes, Nina stopped and her eyes went wide.
"Sophie, is this him?" Nina questioned as she turned her laptop to Sophie. Off course, Nina saw the whole incident on the camera right now but she couldn't believe it.
"Yes, that's him!" Sophie exclaimed in happiness and jumped taking the laptop from Nina. Sophie showed both Toby and Serena her groom. Serena nodded in appreciation and Toby commented "well he does look delicious" this made Sophie glared at him in possessiveness, he was her groom after all.
"You know him right?" Serena asked Nina with hopeful eyes as Sophie and Toby turned to look at Nina.
Nina nodded and the three of them shouted.
"I know him" Nina's voice was silent which made Serena contemplate the situation. Sophie and Toby, however, were occupied with their excitement to even notice it.
"His name is Tyrion," said Nina, and Sophie sighed "and he is a werewolf" Nina completed.
All the three people in front of them looked at her wide-eyed.
"Holy shit Sophie. Does this mean you're his mate" Toby looked at Sophie?
"Oh my god! This means I'm his mate" Sophie exclaimed and held her forehead with her right hand.
Selkies have a choice of whom to marry as they can reject a person handing them their coat and cancel the marriage. But werewolves on the other hand had mates. Only if their mates die or leave them, they can marry somebody else. If gods made Tyrion marry Sophie, this means Sophie is his mate.
"Wow this is so good" Sophie sighed.
"And, he's an Alpha" Nina continued.
"Oh my god tell me I'm not dreaming" Sophie grinned.
Alpha means power and which female doesn't want herself a handsome powerful man?
"But there's a thing you should know" Nina continues with uncertainty. "He's about to get married"
"But he's already married." Sophie furrows her brows.
"No, there's a competition among the princesses of his kind. The woman who wins will marry him and become the Luna"
"But I don't care about being the Luna, I want to marry him" Sophie exclaims.
"And can't he marry anybody other than his mate? Won't that hurt him?" Serena questions.
"It will but he's 24 now, he needs to find a Luna for his kingdom otherwise he will lose his title to his cousin when he turns 25. And trust me when I say his cousin is the devil himself" Nina shook her head.
"That's an absurdity. Why can't I go and tell him? That we're married?" Sophie questions.
"That won't matter now. Everything has been arranged. The competition starts the day after tomorrow. All the princesses have already started reaching their pack" Nina told them.
"But there's got to be something we can do. I know what I'm going to do. I'll join the competition" Sophie announced as the rest of them looked at her like crazy.
"But you can't risk telling them who you are, we are hiding" Toby reasoned.
"Then you should go under a fake identity." Nina smiled with mischief in her eyes.
"But how? It's not like anybody can enter" Sophie huffed.
"Leave it up to me." Nina smirked as if finally her time has come "I will arrange everything. Meanwhile, you go and pack your bags. You have an alpha to impress"
