Two

Alexios POV

"Hermes said the new occupant at the Millers has a daughter." The Alpha began as he watched his son who busied himself with breakfast. "She is registered in your school." He added.

The school was originally founded by the werewolves for their kids to study, but as human civilization kept on developing, they didn't only discover the school, but they built homes so close to them too. The Werewolf community then had no choice but to buy a vast land enough for them to run in when in their wolf form. It is a restricted area for humans to go into.

To also avoid them questioning why others could go in there, each pack decided to build homes. The pack with lesser members made their pack look like an estate, while some packs allowed humans to live among them, of course with rules, some stricter packs do not let in anyone who is not a member.

Alexios pack is the largest pack. Instead of just an estate, his grandfather had made a community for himself. With several buildings given out for rent, they had many humans living in their community. Of course, The werewolves lived separately from humans, some estate was built just for the Werewolves, and those who does not intend to live in an estate had their homes built closer to the forest for easy access to go for a run.

To the humans, Alexios father is a mayor to them.

The Millers had lived here for so many years until the old man died. After his burial, his children put the house up for sale and left with their old mother.

"I don't think we need to bother about them. I checked with a friend and he was truly promoted here for work." The Luna joined in. Of course, some of those humans were smart. They had their suspicion about their identity and they keep looking for ways to come and pry in on them. They always were able to fish them out and think of a good strategy to send them away.

Having to live with clueless humans was much more relaxing than living with curious ones.

"It won't hurt to be sure. This might be a trick to get us off their back. Watch out for their daughter and let me know if she does anything suspicious at all." The Alpha commanded, and Alexios nodded. He had been enjoying his bacon, cheese and egg to not concern himself with his parent's discussion.

"Are you done?" Alexios asked Ophelia who was currently cleaning her mouth with a tissue.

Nodding, she grabbed her bag before running to hug her father. "I am leaving now daddy." The Alpha nodded, a genuine smile gracing his face. His princess had always been his biggest pride.

"Alright beautiful. Make sure you have a great day, and stay away from trouble." Alexios eyes rolled, who would dare to cause her trouble. Although she was still young and not yet at the age where she gets to meet her wolf, Ophelia can easily take care of any human who dares to cause trouble for her, and as for the werewolves in their school, they must be tired of having their head resting on top of their neck to hurt his sister!

"Goodbye mom." Alexios leaned down to kiss his mom's cheeks, ignoring his father's glare, he led his sister outside.

"Hey cutie." Alexios low growl had Owen grinning. It didn't matter how many times they had done this, but Alexios never changes.

"Good morning." Ophelia waved at the boys as she ran into the car. This had the boys chuckling.

"I will be riding with you today." Caius told Alexios as he went into the car and waited for Alexios to join them.

"Should we all just head to school together?" He asked and Owen nodded excitedly.

"Come on then." Alexios didn't see why they all couldn't just go in the same car. The seat was just perfect for them.

Caius seeing the other two joining him at the back sit grinned widely.

"We can go to school riding different cars daily. Tomorrow we can ride mine, then the next Owen's, then Wyatt's." Owen scoffed.

"Are all footballers this lazy or is it just you? So we go to school just four times a week?" He questioned.

"Of course not! Most of my important matches would be Friday's. We can play paper, rock, and scissors to determine whose car we use on Friday." He told them while staring at Owen. "Except of course, your whorish self decides to use your car to pick up girls." In their group, Owen is the most popular with ladies. There is hardly any girl in their school whose name he doesn't know or whose contact he does not have.

"Shut up, Ophelia is with us." Wyatt reprimanded as Ophelia blushed scarlet. Owen might be the one who always flirts with her, and he probably should be the one who makes her blush and shy, but Wyatt does those without having to try too hard.

"We have a new girl joining the school, I need you to keep an eye on her Owen. Do your thing." Alexios had never bothered with any female as he wishes to wait for his destined mate. Hence, why he is nicknamed the cold prince. It is said he does not smile or glance at anyone other than his friends and sister.

His aura didn't help either, as the next Alpha, his aura has always been intimidating to all the humans in his school. They never dared to approach this group of boys, Caius was better since he was a part of the football team.

His teammates will always try to talk with him especially when he is around his gang. They thought if the others knew they were familiar with him, they would ease up a little but alas, it seemed like they didn't even notice their presence at all. And Owen, who is known to be the most approachable among them only seems to be that way with the ladies. And even at that, the ladies often times feel their skin turning cold in his presence.

"Oh, is she pretty?" Owen grinned as he asked this.

"I don't know." He didn't ask his father for a picture. As far as he knows, she should be the only new student joining them.

"Bye!" Ophelia waved as she ran towards her friends.

"Coffee?" Alexios asked. They were not one to go to school early so they decided to while away time at a coffee shop. The only reason why Alexios wakes up early is to bring Ophelia who cannot wait to be with her friends to school.

"We should get going." Wyatt told them looking at his wristwatch.

They all exited the coffee shop and went to school, the closer they got to class, the more agitated Alexios got. "Are you good man?" His friends surrounded him, their eyes scanning him with concern.

"Erskine is acting up." Alexios told them as he turned around and ran toward the back of the school. The friends were right behind him as they all shred their uniforms and ran among nature in their beast form. After what seemed like hours but only a few minutes, Alexios stopped and changed back to his human form.

Caius looked around the bush and found uniform spares, for situations where a wolf needed a quick run to ease their tension, the pack made provision for several uniforms and clothing in the forest.

"Are you better now?" Wyatt asked concerned. They had all ran to their satisfaction yesterday and Erskine wasn't the type to act up without reason.

"I think she was close." Alexios told his friends, his heart beating faster and he felt nervous. And he doesn't feel nervous until now that is.

"By she, you mean?" Owen asked his mouth opened and eyes budged.

Alexios nodded. He had heard it clearly "Mate"

His wolf had called out to her.

"Then what are we doing here. Let's go meet her. I am curious about her." Owen was the most excited as his job as the next pack Gamma is to serve the Luna as her left-hand man. While she has her mate as her right-hand man, the Gamma is the one the Luna should be able to confide in the most. The one who takes the Luna's safety as top priority.

"I think she is the one he asked you to do your thing with." Wyatt told Owen.

"I wouldn't dare. If she is your mate, I wouldn't dare, I will do my duty and stay next to her but that will be all." Owen went on one knee as he made the promise.

"I know. Stand up and stop being dramatic." Alexios wasn't in the mood for his drama. He felt more conflicted, his mate is human. There have been many cases where werewolves get mated to humans, and some had ended tragically. What if she rejects me? What if she gets scared because of what I am? What if she also... She also kills herself to stop feeling what she feels?

Many what ifs filled his head as he realized he was worrying over something and someone he hasn't even seen yet.

"We should go in." Wyatt told them again and this time, they ran back to the school compound in their human form without breaking a sweat.

"Good luck." They all wished him as they pushed the class door opened and walked in. Alexios couldn't see any other thing except for the lady whose head was lowered denying him the chance to see those lovely eyes of hers. Those eyes that had met with his for a split second.

"Mate" His wolf had called out. Alexios gulped as Caius poked him from behind to walk forward. With heavy legs, he forced himself to not run over to her. His breathing which had turned uneven was noticed by all the werewolves in class.

The Geography teacher who had watched the young Alpha's reaction, looked towards the lady he had fun teasing earlier. Humans were fun to tease and he especially liked seeing the embarrassing look on them when he stares openly at them. So she is our Luna?!
