ALPHA GRAY DEXTER'S POV
My parents also stare at me and I can see that the smile on Caroline's face has faded slightly.
I clear my throat and start to speak. "Dad, Mom, I really appreciate all your efforts towards finding me a mate, but I need you to understand that I am not interested in anything that has to do with that. I am only interested in taking care of this pack and making sure that things are run smoothly. So, I am sorry to disappoint you for the umpteenth time, but I do not want Caroline, neither do I need her." I say and then stand up.
Caroline stares at me and I can see that her eyes are about to expel some tears.
"Miss Caroline, I don't want you to feel sad, okay? I just want you to understand that I am not and can never be the man for you." I say to her and then storm majestically out of the dining room. I go into my room and spend the night with the same Omega I had sex with the other day.
The days go by slowly and I am glad that things are going on smooth. However, things change slightly when I am on the training ground with my soldiers one evening and then I am told that some messengers have been sent from the Lily White Pack. The guards tell me that they specifically asked to see me. I am really surprised but I go out to see them.
"Good evening, Alpha." They all greet and I nod.
"State your cause." I reply them.
They tell me that their Alpha, Alpha Kalista has sent them to me in order to ask for my help with regards to the Blizzard. They tell me that it has been ravaging the lives of the members of their pack and that their Alpha wants to know if I can help.
I tell them that I have heard all that they have said, and that I will have my answer in the morning. I instruct my guards to make them feel comfortable and then I go into my room to retire for the night. As soon as I am done showering, I settle in bed and start to think about Kalista Draconis. I remember the first time I set my eyes on her. That was over four years ago.
I was in the woods with ten of my soldiers, and we were practicing our hunting skills. We had killed a lot of game and asked Judas, one of the soldier, to watch what we had caught. We were away for about an hours and when we were returning with even more meat, we saw a young woman running towards Judas. Judas was running with another person in his arms and I wondered what was going on. I was about to race to the scene when I saw the woman stab Judas with a sword. Immediately, he fell to the ground and let go of whoever he was grabbing, and it turned out to be another young woman.
I immediately understood what was going on and I was very pissed.
I walked up to the scene with the other soldiers and asked what was going on. The one who stabbed Judas looked at me squarely in the eyes and I was instantly caught off-guard by her beauty. Her eyes were the bluest I had ever seen and her skin was the exact color of that of Issa Rae. When she spoke, her small lips parted to reveal the whitest set of teeth I had ever seen. She was wearing a bra and a pair of shorts. Her body was still wet and I could see her nipples peering through the fabric of her bra. My eyes traveled down her tall frame and I could see the definition of her wide hips and thick thighs.
Damn!
I looked at Judas who was still whimpering in pain and I ordered that he be killed immediately and I apologized to her and her friend.
I was about to ask who she was when three guards rode towards her and she got on her horse after making sure that her friend was alright. The way she rode with so much authority made me know that she was royalty.
"Who is she?" I asked my guards and they told me that that was the only child of the late Alpha Killian Draconis, and that she was the Alpha of the Pack.
Ever since the day I met her, I could not stop thinking about her, and I tried not to think about her. I t has been four years now and I still have not gotten over that single encounter.
I decide that it is time for me to see her again, so I pick up my seal and write a letter for her eyes only.
"Kalista Draconis, the daughter of the late Alpha Killian Draconis!
I must confess that I was very surprised to see your messengers come into my pack, but when they told me the reason for their visit, I was able to understand how desperately you need my help. Well, I will only deal with you directly and this means that I want to see you. I want to see you within the next three days or else you will forfeit any chances of getting my help.
P.S. We have met before, so I do not see why this should be a problem.
Yours not-so-sincerely,
Gray Dexter.
The next morning, I send the messengers back with the letter in hand, and I know in my heart that she will come to see me.
Just as I predicted, she comes back to see me and I sweep my eyes over her beautiful curves. When she turns to look at me, I put on a stern look and take the hand she extends to me.
"Welcome, Alpha Kalista. Now that you are here, could you ask your guards to excuse us?" I ask.
