Chapter 5 (A different vibe)

Richard

"Beast Alpha…." That's what they call me behind my back. But I don’t care about these titles because these are what keep my people safe from the enemy. But today Regina surprised me by asking my name because, before her, no one had ever shown any interest in knowing the real me behind the title.

This is why she is our mate—because she is different from every other wolf. My wolf spoke in my mind, and I agreed with each and every word he said. She is different; even if she wasn’t my mate, I could smell the difference in her aura even from afar.

Regina has Alpha genes in her aura, but along with that, she gives me a different vibe, a vibe I only ever sensed once from the wolf, whose power is far greater than mine. But why is that? Sam doesn’t smell anywhere near as similar to Regina, even though they are siblings.

There might be something in the past that I’m missing and trying to understand.

Regina is my mate and also a member of my realm, and I want to know every detail about her and her family.

After all the mindful thinking, I picked up my phone, dialing one of my most trusted wolves, Knox, to dig for information about Regina and her family.

Since Knox is doing his work, I need to work on finding a reason to see Regina more often. I can’t wait for the Moon Goddess to do all the work for me and for Regina to find her wolf. I need to try my best to woo her and make her fall in love with me, with or without the Mate Bond.

"But how...?" I mumbled to myself, forcing my mind to think of ways to get close to Regina.

Sam is one of the ways to meet Regina, but meeting him doesn’t guarantee my chances of meeting Regina. I want something that gives me a reason to see her and talk to her every day. But what can that one reason be? Think of Richard.

You are the king of all the Alphas, Lycan, and you can’t find a reason to see our mate regularly. My wolf taunts me in my mind.

Shut up, let me think. I said to my wolf, blocking him in my mind.

This fool always distracts me whenever I'm busy with my thoughts.

I sighed loudly, not being able to find anything reasonable.

I did give her my number, but I forgot to take hers in return, so I have no way of contacting her directly. All I can do is wait for her to contact me, hoping that she will reach out soon. It's frustrating not being able to see her and not having a way to reach out directly. I can't help but wonder if she's feeling the same way or if she's moved on already. 

I don't know if she has sensed our mate bond; most wolves get attracted to each other at first sight, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Regina. I don't know why she hasn't shown any signs of recognizing our connection. It's possible that she may not be aware of our mate bond, or perhaps she's intentionally avoiding acknowledging it. Regardless, the uncertainty is eating away at me, and I can't help but question where we stand in each other's lives. 

I sighed, shaking my head, as I tried to push away the thoughts that were consuming me. It was frustrating not knowing where we stood, but I knew that patience was key in situations like these. 

Soon the mating ball is coming, and I hope on that day she recognizes our bond. I've been eagerly waiting for the mating ball, hoping that it would be the perfect opportunity for her to finally acknowledge our bond. The thought of her not recognizing it fills me with both anxiety and anticipation. I can't help but wonder if she's intentionally avoiding it or if she simply hasn't realized the depth of our connection yet. Regardless, I know that I need to stay patient and trust that our bond will eventually be acknowledged. 

I sighed, getting up from my chair and stretching my sore muscles.

It's time to loosen up some stress. I thought about glancing outside the window of my office.

It seems like a great time to run a few miles. My wolf replied.

I agree with him; the weather seems too good, and my wolf also needs some freedom from this human form.

I let every piece of clothing fall from my body, folding them nicely over the couch and jumping out of the window, allowing my wolf to take control of my body.

As soon as my wolf took control, he howled loudly, reminding everyone around him, in or outside my pack, of his dominance, as he let loose and started running as fast as he could to one of his favorite spots in the meadows.
