Chapter 3

It was the day that I was supposed to be meeting ‘Alice’, Scarlett’s daughter. I am such a mess, what could she possibly want from me to make this request?.

I went to school as normal and it just made me keep wondering ‘why me, was it because I was the Alpha’s son?’.

I couldn’t wait to get to training so I could then get the stress and worry out of my mind for what could happen tonight. During the training I suddenly shifted because I was so frustrated at the thought I was being mated to someone I didn’t even know.

My father was called and immediately he could see how angry I was becoming, so he shifted and we had a fight and it wasn’t until after we finished that he realised how strong I was. I just wanted to run and not look back, but knowing how strong I was, I was trained everyday instead of three days a week like usual.

It was my father who trained me, I didn’t mind training with my father as I didn’t want to fight anyone else and risk seriously hurting them or even worse, kill them.

After training with my father, I went back into school and took a shower, I then got dressed and headed home. As I walked through the front door I went straight up to my room and laid on my bed, when I heard a knock on my door.

It was my step-mum, “Hey sweetie, I heard what happened at school, do you want to talk about it?”, she said.

My Step-mum was strong and someone whom I can talk too more so than my dad. “I’m ok, thank you for asking, I’m just concerned about tonight. To be honest I can’t understand why she wants me to be mated to her daughter, I don’t even know her, what do I do?”, I ask.

“Well what you do is speak to her, you’ll know instantly if she is your mate or not, to be honest sweetheart I didn’t want to be with your dad, I was mated to him and it wasn’t until I spent sometime with him that I realised we were a match made in heaven.

Not everyone gets their happily ever after, just give her a chance, you never know what could happen”.

‘I really didn’t want this, I wanted to go to the Ball and choose myself, but I guess this is the only way’. Mum then left to go and sort the dinner table out, ten minutes later I get called for dinner.

All I do is fiddle around with my food on my plate not really feeling hungry. I feel sick to the pit of my stomach. I excuse myself from the table and head upstairs to my room.

Scarlett’s POV

It was getting very close to the time that Alice was meeting Laurence. “Alice, are you ready?”, I shouted up the stairs. Alice then came downstairs with her hair up in a Bun.

‘She looked beautiful as usual’ I thought to myself. She wore a Black Lace Top with black fishnet tights and Knee high Black Boots with a slight heel.

“Mum, what if he doesn’t like me or want me as his mate?, what do we do?”, she asked.

“Well what we do is make sure he falls in love with you, I can always do a love spell on him”, Mum said.

“Mum that’s dangerous, I don’t want any love spell put on him, let’s just see what happens first”, she said.

“Anyway it’s time to go”, Scarlett said.

We didn’t need any transportation at all, all we did was teleport to the meeting point which was in the tree’s of the Pack Grounds. We arrived with ten minutes to spare.

Laurence’s POV

7.30pm couldn’t come quicker, I put on Blue jeans and a black vest top on with my black boots, my hair had gel on it to hold it in place.

I then made my way down the stairs and out the front door, when my parents mind-linked me and told me that guards weren't too far behind me if I need them to just mind-link them and they would be there instantly.

So I walked in amongst the tree’s and knew someone was there, there was a sweet scent that made me look into a young girl’s eyes.

‘She looked beautiful, prettier than any of the she-wolves at school’, I thought.

Then Scarlett suddenly appeared next to her daughter and saw the look on my face and laughed.

“What’s so funny?”, I said.

“I knew you would look like that as if she were the most beautiful thing on the planet”, Scarlett replied.

‘Thing is she wasn’t wrong, she was gorgeous, red hair, blue eyes and red lipstick to match her hair’ I thought.

“So now what?, I said.

“Now talk to her, she was excited to meet you, wasn’t you Alice?”, Scarlett replied.

“Yes mum, I was. It’s lovely to meet you”, Alice replied whilst holding out her hand to shake mine.

“Nice to meet you too”, I said with a slight smile. While shaking her hand in return.

Scarlett then said to me, “what are you waiting for?, I bought a blanket so you two can sit down and talk, I’ll be back in two hours”, she said and I noticed she winked at Alice before disappearing.
