The Alpha Princess & The Werewolf King

Aurora's pov:

"Aurora! Where are you?!" I was startled when I heard the voice of Amelia.

But then, I wash my hands immediately because I'm full of stains from the pots that I'm cleaning. I heard the door open with a sign of her entering the house.

"I'm over here!" I shouted because I am at the ground floor where I usually cleanse all the pots in the house.

I dried my hands using my apron and didn't mind my messy hair, blocking the side of my face.

"Oh my god, Aurora! Why do you look so messy?!" she stated in disbelief and her eyes in worry.

I look away and get my hair tie, to tie my hair in a high ponytail. “What are you doing here?” I ask as I continue to tie my hair.

She didn't look at me, instead she wandered her eyes to where we are right now. “This place is a mess, why are you cleaning here? Why not upstairs?” she asked.

I ignore her question and repeat my question to her instead. “What are you doing here?”

She looks at me from head to toe and shakes her head after she notices how messed up I am.

“The selection of the Alpha’s slave is today. We need to go there before it starts.”

“Why should I go there? It's nothing special.” I mumbled and was about to get the pot that wasn't yet cleaned but Amelia stopped my hand.

“We need to be there, because the Alpha is selective, he can't just select someone who is out of his standard.”

-Wow! The alpha even has a standard on selecting a slave?!- I stated in my mind.

“Why is he selecting another slave again?” I ask confusedly. Amelia frowned at my question.

“I also don't know, that's why we need to be there.” yeah, she is right we should go there to know what's going on and why is he selecting a slave again, it's not that we or I can be chosen as his slave right?

What happened to his slaves back then? Is he a manwhore? I shook my head. “Okay, wait for me upstairs, I'll just get change.”

She nodded and walked fast by me. I started to put away the pots that are not clean yet. And separate those already clean.

I remove my apron, and go upstairs to take a quick bath. I shouldn't look like a mess outside this house unless things are urgent.

After taking a bath, I pick a dress with a vest on it. I also brush my hair and wear a hairband. I let my hair down and let it show my flowy lightly curled hair.

“Amelia, I'm done.” I said as I left my room.

She was in the living room sitting on the sofa while reading a magazine.

She looks and her eyes sparkle from amusement of what she sees.

“You're beautiful as always when you're dressed up” she said while staring at me with adoration in her eyes.

I shook my head and pulled her up from the sofa.

“Let's go, time's running.” She's still looking at me. Which is why I poke her forehead.

She winch from the little pain it gave her. We then walk out of the house and immediately go to the outdoor stadium where the selection will happen.

It is not the usual outdoor stadium you think, but the simple and ordinary one. Where every activity of a specific clan was held.

When we got there, a lot of people were waiting for the selection. But mostly women, they even dress up nicely. Maybe they wanted to be chosen. But as for me, I didn't dress up nicely to be chosen by the alpha.

I'm just a typical woman who dresses simply when going out of the house. I wanted to look good in everyone's eyes in a simple way.

After waiting for 15 mins the arrival of the Alpha made every woman and even girls in teenage screams out of their lungs.

I look at where the Alpha is. He looks good and intimidating yet his eyes tell silently to not mess with him in any way.

I can sense his strong aura. His calm breath and the beats of his heart. I could sense it clearly, which made me stare at him blankly.

I was back when Amelia pinch me, that's when I also realized that the Alpha is also staring at me intently.

“The Alpha just looks at you earlier, Rory.” Amelia whispered. She sometimes calls me Rory or Aurora, it depends on her mood I guess.

“No, it wasn't me, it's the woman at my back.” I lied even though I knew that Amelia noticed him looking at me.

“It wasn't her, it's you, I can tell it right away.” she insisted. I didn't mind her and just diverted my gaze to the crowds.

The stadium will be full of people any minute. Everyone is whispering yet you can hear them talking about the Alpha.

They went silent when the mic turned on.

“A pleasant afternoon to each and everyone. Before we start the selection of the Alpha's slaves. We have here the list of each woman who is qualified to the Alpha's standard.”

Their whispers are echoing because of what they have heard from the announcer.

“I thought there was no list on this selection.” I heard from one of the crowd's disappointment.

Some are feeling down because of the thought that they might not be one of the qualifiers. I know that they like to be the alpha’s slave. But he is the alpha who has a standard to be lifted.

While some are happy because of the thought that they don't want to be the Alpha's slave since there are rumors circulating that the reason why the Alpha keeps changing a slave is because of its anger issue. At which he appears to hurt those who were his slaves back then.

“Keep quiet everyone! Now we will start the selection and the Alpha will pick the name that is on the list. And if you heard your name called, kindly come up here on stage to meet your master, the Alpha.” the announcer quickly stated, he then handed the list to the Alpha.

I look at how the Alpha scans the paper with each name of a woman. He called someone and whispered something in his ear.

The man looks at me, which makes me frown. He then whispers back to the Alpha. I didn't mind how the man beside the Alpha looked at me. Instead I ask Amelia to go back home.

“Let's go Amelia.” I said in boredom

“What? The Alpha has not yet selected a slave.” she confusedly asked.

“It's too boring, and I am hungry.”

“You can eat later after this, let's just witness the selection.” she said and held my wrist to stop me from walking away.

“I’m too hungry, I can't hold it any longer.”

“Please, rory-” Amelia was cut while pleading with me not to leave. The mic turned on again.

“Aurora Solane Harrison” Amelia’s eyes grew in shock when she heard my name called.

“Aurora Solane Harrison” the announcer repeated which made me stuck from where I am sitting right now.

Why? I said in my mind, still not digesting what I just heard from the announcer.

“Where is Aurora?” the announcer ask.

Amelia shook my shoulders which led me to stand up. The crowd looked at me, I felt nervous, I wanted to hide from Amelia's back or even run away from this crowd.

But I am too scared to do that. I look at the stage where the Alpha is sitting. He is looking at me without any trace of emotion in his face.

I look back at him and hide my fears. I didn't let anyone notice how terrified I was. I bravely walk towards the stage, with head up and face showing no emotion.

I stopped when Amelia held my wrist. She looks at me with worries in her eyes. But I just nodded at her as a sign that I can do this.

When I reach the stage, the announcer tells the crowd that the Alpha now has a new slave.

The alpha walked towards me, he then matched my height and moved his face. I didn't move or flinch when he did that.

The crowd mostly gaps from what they witness. They thought the Alpha was going to kiss me. But no, he whispered in my ears.

“You're now my slave and you can't do anything about it.” He whispered in a monotonous voice.
