♍Andres' P. O. V.♍
I ran my hand through my hair stepping out of my car. A car, though I'm only 15. Perks of having power over people as the future Alpha.
I just got home from high school. It is a school of werewolves. I'm excited to see the little girl I love. Yes, the girl I love. I have a thing for her. The urge to protect her and be her lover when she grows up never ceases. I never see her as a sister or a friend. I always look at her more than that. She will be my future. I'll make sure of that.
When I stepped through the door, a very mouth-watering scent drowned my nose. I sniff the air and almost moaned at how delicious it smelled. The aroma is divine. I'm still at the door yet the delicious smell is really strong.
I entered and followed the same delicious scent.
Woah!
There, stood a little girl, the girl I secretly love, Amari. Her hair is in pigtails with ribbons. She is clutching the strap of her bag tightly and she looks scared and nervous. Did someone scold her?
"Mate!" I growled causing my mother to snap at me.
"Richard! What did you say?" I didn't even acknowledge her and just ran to my room.
I am heavily panting right now.
She always makes my heart beat fast, but right now, my heart is beating at a rapid pace. I could feel my heart will soon jump out of my chest at any moment. She's an omega that's why I keep my eyes on her, that's why I always protect her from the hungry vulture lurking around our pack. They can't know she's my mate. They always had this suspicion about my affection for little Amari.
I've always made her believe I only see her as a little sister. Finally, I can call her mine! Ugh! What's wrong with me?
She has always been pretty in my eyes. I had never seen someone like her. I chuckled at myself.
Someone knocked on my room and entered. It's my mother.
"She's your mate," she stated. It wasn't a question, it was a statement. My mother surely knows me.
I turn to her and sighed. "Yes, she is," I admitted. "I have always loved her more than just a little sister. I've never seen her as that. I always see her as my future."
My mother sat on my bed and patted the space next to her for me to sit. When I did, she placed her hand on my knee and smiled.
"I could tell, my Richard," she whispered. "I saw the way your eyes glowed with adoration whenever she's around"-she pats my head-"Your father and I will leave next week. I want you to always protect her. She is a fragile girl. She came from an orphanage of humans, so I want you to always protect her. We won't be back for three months. This way, you will be prepared to take over the werewolf world." She hugged me and kissed the top of my head.
"Thank you, mother!"
"I love you!"
"I love you too."
I looked at the ceiling of my room and heard the door close. My mom left the room.
NEXT WEEK
The next week came and I am heading to school. Today is the day of my parents' flight. When I entered the school, whispers and squealing of girls irritated my ears. I never really like those types of girls. I only like my mate. It's only her I will ever love.
After a long period of waiting, it's finally the end of morning class.
I entered my car and went on my way to the airport to see my father and mother for the last time.
After a few minutes, I reached the airport and went up to them.
"Richard, my son!" my father called out.
My mother, together with great warriors snapped their heads at me. I look around and my uncle is here too, Jeonard. I never liked this man.
Our Beta, Delta, and other great warriors bowed their heads at me.
"Young Alpha!" they greeted in unison. I only nod my head in acknowledgment.
After my mother's endless reminders, they finally left. I went to my car and open the door.
"Richard!" I stopped abruptly and turn coldly at the voice of Jeonard. I raised an eyebrow at him.
"I hope you know that I am the person in charge of the pack for the whole three months-"
"I don't remember my father's announcement about that. All I knew is that I am the future Al-"
"You don't need to know. I am your uncle and your father's brother. That makes us equal."
"We're not equal," I stated coldly before entering my car and riding at rapid speed.
I have no plan in going back to school, so I made my way back to the pack house.
Out of frustration, I slammed the door shut behind me causing someone to yelp in surprise.
'My mate'
"I'm sorry, love," I apologized softly. A voice I never used to any girl in this pack or any other girl, only to my beloved mother and her. I even called her 'love.' And that is exactly what I'm feeling towards her.
She looked at me with her innocent eyes and asked, "Why are you angry?"
I never thought someone's voice could lull me to sleep until now. Her voice is music to my ears.
"It was nothing...and why are you here? Don't you have school?" I raised an eyebrow at her.
She smiled causing a cute dimple to show on her right cheek. "We don't have school today!"
I chuckled and held out my hand. Once our skin touches, electricity runs through my whole body. I'm sure now that she really is mine, my little cute mate.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Alpha?" she bowed. I held both her hands to make her stand straight.
"Baby, no need to do that," I rubbed her shoulders affectionately.
"I'm not a baby, I'm 9," she disagreed and held out her hands to show her nine fingers.
I laughed at her statement and left from there.
I know she turned 9 the other day. She looks younger because she's really tiny. Cute size.
-2 WEEKS LATER-
These past few weeks, I always find reasons to be with her and I almost kissed her. It's because I couldn't contain myself when it comes to her.
Today is the weekend and we're going out. I'm going to treat her.
I knocked on her door and it opened after a few seconds.
"Good morning, pretty girl!"
"Good morning, Mr. Alpha!"
She's wearing a princess dress that reaches below her knees. The dress made her look like a real princess. Mine, in particular, my princess.
I held out my hand for her to take and I lead her to my car. Once inside, she bounces up and down on her seat in excitement. I only shook my head and chuckled.
She turned to me with a smile and asked, "Where are we going?"
"We're going to the ice cream parlor"-I tuck a strand of her short hair-"and where else you want to go, we'll go."
She put her finger on her chin and thinks for a while. "Ummmmm, I don't know where to go after."
I laughed at her, shaking my head.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"Okay, okay!"
° ° °
"Sit there, Mia Amore," I told her politely.
She shook her head with a pout saying, "I want to go with you, please?"
My heart swelled hearing that. "As you wish, my love."
I held her tiny hand and we walked to the counter.
The cashier looked up and smiled. "Good day, Sir! What would you like-Oh! How adorable little sister!"
WHAT!
"What did you just say?" I asked in a dangerously calmed tone.
"I said 'your little sister,'" she answered with a shrug.
"I dare you to say that again."
Her eyes widen in fear, hearing my tone of voice. "Ummm...I-I-I'm so-so-sorry," she stammered and couldn't look at my glaring eyes.
Someone tugged on my dress shirt and I heard a little sniffle.
"Mr. Alpha, why are you angry?" she sniffs.
I pulled her outside and put the seatbelt on her once inside the car.
"I'm sorry, Mia Amore," I apologized. "Let's just go to the park instead.
" Yes! Let's play!"
We played for I don't know how long. When we reached home, she had fallen asleep. I carried her carefully to her room and tucked her into bed. She stirred and whined.
"Shhh," I shushed her. "I'm right here."
"Where are you going?" she asked in a sleepy voice. "Please don't go."
"I can't sleep here," I said softly. "We don't want others to get the wrong idea now, do we?"
She knitted her eyebrows and asked, "What is the wrong idea?"
"A boy and a girl can't sleep on the same bed alone," I informed. "Do you understand?"
She looked puzzled and shook her head.
"It's just not right for us to be sleeping together. What if I do something you don't like? Like when I couldn't contain myself and kiss you. I know you're gonna cry. Like right now, I have the urge to kiss you, but I am holding myself."
"Okay. Good night," she said and closed her eyes. Though, I'm completely aware she didn't actually understand.
I lean toward her face and kiss her cheeks and forehead. "Good night, Amore. I love you."
She opened her eyes after hearing that. "Why?"
"What do you mean why?"
"Nothing. Good night."
I smiled at the memory of when Amari was a little girl, and how innocent she was and still is. Now, she's carrying our baby.
We haven't come back to the hospital after what happened at the park. It took me too much self-restraint to ignore her. What she never knew, I checked on her every night. I can't stay away from her. How much I love her!

Note
In the previous chapter, Mia Amore & Mr. Alpha, I stated that Alpha Andres' eyes turned from sterling grey to silver grey but they will turn red once he totally transformed into his wolf.
Just to inform you. The rank shows in their eyes.
