C6 CHP-6

I arrived at the ball, its too much decoration. Big ass chandelier above me, do they even know the consequences if that thing falls. It looks classy as fuck. I mean I you know even simple things are pretty, this is too much. I hate it.

The top 5 packs including mine have arrived. Almost 3 Alphas asked me if I was a Luna or a warrior. As soon as said I was the alpha, their fake welcoming smiles then managed to cringe in the weirdest way possible. I simply walked away, I was used to this. Being discriminated against for being a female alpha.

Everyone was not so shocked seeing me in casual wear cause they probably thought I was some warrior or something, My luck. I talked to Alpha Luke and his Luna, who insisted on coming even though he said no like a billion times.

I ate my gummy worms silently on the balcony. It's not like I was craving to eat the teeny tiny food they serve here which they apparently call a meal. I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Miss, if you are part of any of the 5 packs, then you must assemble below the staircase. The King is about to make the big announcement" the waiter had a very thick Scottish accent ."Yea, sure thanks "I quickly left and made my way to the Ballroom.

A guy, let's just call him Jerry climbed the first 5 steps of the giant staircase, "Alpha William, or as we know Our King, is about to make a very big announcement, therefore please gather around "Jerry finished not looking very happy, what was the announcement that made him so sad. Poor Jerry

I saw Alpha William /the .so called...king.. arrive from the stairs. He had someone behind him, maybe a guard or something. Those features, I feel like I have seen him before. Tall, sharp nose. I don't know about the jaw because of the beard, thick eyebrows, and grey-blue eyes.

"Hello everyone, I have conducted this Ball to inform you that, I am retiring. A few months ago, my son defeated me in a fight. He is a very strong wolf, he has gotten the right to be the next Alpha as the incident caused us to lose our true real Alpha, he has been preparing to take the throne for a while now, I am sure he will bring us great success. He was not allowed to ascend the throne as he hadn't found his mate. But he has, I am sure she will be very obedient and will accept all the orders given to her by my son. I have a lot of pride knowing that my son will take the throne. I expect you all to obey and respect your new Alpha "gasps and whispers filled the room in an instant. This what everyone wants, poor girl whoever she is will have to endure with this god-awful tradition where the males crushed us, females. I thought Alpha William had two sons, what about the other son. What happened to him

A black figure emerged from behind...My eyes almost bulged out of my sockets realizing who it was. No no no no...Adam fucking Black. This is The new King!!. My stupid fucking mate is the king. That's why his dad looked so familiar except for his eyes. Now I am defiantly never gonna even try being his mate. Not like I was ever going to.

He looked below us with cold, emotionless eyes, everyone bowed their heads, everyone except me. Soon his eyes landed on me, His eyes widened for a second, but then pierced through me giving me an icy glare. I had to bow, if I didn't he had the power to take away my position. I hated it, I never bowed in front of anyone, he's literally taking my sanity by making me do this. I felt like throwing up. I had to leave this place.

"I am going to try my hardest to protect, build and restore whatever we have lost. I may not be the Alpha you wished for. Anyone who dares question me will face consequences. I have found my mate and she will be arriving to stay at the castle in two weeks "his deep husky voice now sounded like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Maybe I am not his mate. Maybe he found someone else. I am not going. He can threaten me as much as he wants, but I am NOT giving up without a fight.

This is my life, I will decide who I will spend it with. Why is he like this? I am staying with my sister, he can do whatever he wants. She defended me, protected me, made me strong, fought for me, my parents took her away from me when I was 7, I begged them to either send me with her or bring her back. She would visit me once every 4 years for 10 days. I didn't tell her anything about what happened to me. But if there was a problem with my parents and me she was always there.

I know she wants to spend her life with someone else. I sent some wolves earlier to spy on her and she has been getting real close with this guy called Kevin. I despise him. She was crying in front of him. The only person she was comfortable crying in front of was me, my mom and dad. I know I will have to let her go. Why was she crying but? Did I do something, did someone else do something. Did that bastard Kevin do something. I need to know!! I can deal with Adam later,he isn't a part of my life,never will be

I am not Adam s prisoner who he can just order around, I will be arriving in a week it seems. Silly boy, you have no idea Adam what I can be, at least what people turned me into.

Adam s POV

Why was she here, is she a warrior, is she a Luna.No, I would have known, I screamed at the guards and servants. Why didn't they know who she was? Only 5 packs were here, everyone's excuse was that they didn't think a security check-up was needed since she was just a woman and they think a woman can do no harm, dumb idiots. Just a woman.!!! She is my woman, I will make her mine soon. "You are king, show your power, everyone should be equal in your eyes. You need to be ready to kill anyone even if it was me "My father's words ringed in my head, she didn't bow, I made her. I felt disgusted by myself for making her bow.

She looked gorgeous, the design in her hair made it stand out more, my eyes were comfortable looking at her other than the other people who had worn big, sparkly worthless clothes that hurt my eyes to look at them. No, seriously my eyes started watering.

The only reason I have become the king is because of her. Without my mate, those bastards called the elders never allowed me to take the throne. Now they don't have a choice. I plan on speaking to her. Finding out who her pack Alpha is. Who is she in the pack? Why she rejected me.

I quickly left the room where are the preparations were happening for the food. Well if that non-edible disgusting tiny thing that they call food.

She was a redhead, tall woman who stood out. Can't be that hard to find her.

-*

Where the fuck is she!!!. I have been moving my legs here and there, but I still have only covered half of the ballroom. There aren't many people here. Maybe she left?.NO I would have been informed if someone left.

While I looked right and left, a speck of red caught my attention on the balcony, it was chilly out. Why would she stand in the cold? I entered the slightly opened door to the balcony, she turned her head slightly then looked forward again. She noticed me, I hadn't even made a sound yet she felt my presence.

"Now do you regret slapping me, I am the king. I can banish you from this Kingdom. "I was grinning, I was wondering what was going on in her head, now she knows that she slapped the king.

"No, I don't regret anything. Slapping you was one of the best decisions I ever made, plus you became king thanks to me. By the way. I won't be arriving in a week. You can go find yourself some other mate. I don't want you. "she replied coldly to me, she didn't even look at me while saying it. I was angry, my grin quickly faded as I shut my lips tight. I need to know why she is so confident speaking to me like this. Why does she think she has so much authority. Who is this woman?
