Dinner With The Alpha.

About twenty bags later, we had finally come to and with the shopping spree. We did not only go to that store but about three stores after, the second one was an expensive denim store since the other store did not match my taste. Next was a lingerie and makeup store where I was practically forced to purchase sexy lingerie; not that I'll be using them anytime soon and actual makeup other than lip balm. Last store was an electronics store were I bought a phone, laptop, headset and lastly a Bluetooth device for music.

Once we got back to the castle, it was evening time as we spent the whole day shopping. Honestly, I wanted to buy enough clothes to last me a lifetime so I won't have to go back. We got down from the vehicle and some men picked up the bags but not before bowing their heads as a sign of respect. Unneeded respect.

The men carried the bags into my- the alpha King's chambers and left immediately. I looked at the bags and began dreading arranging them. As if reading my mind, or taking in my expression, Sarah began, "My lady, I shall arrange the bags while you get ready for your dinner with the alpha. I shall set your clothes down on the bed. If you need me, I will be in the closet".

I walk into the bathroom once more today and take another shower, getting rid of the shopping buzz. Walking into the room, I had expected to see a dress set out on the bed for me but instead, laying there was a white and gold alter neck top with black pencil pants and classy heels. She had also kept a pair of diamond earrings, a necklace and bracelet to the side along with less seductive lingerie. While I was dressing, Sarah came into the room, "My lady, let me help you get dressed",

"Oh no worries, its fine", I said, reaching behind my neck, trying to clasp necklace in place,

"I insist", she replied and came up to my back and clasped it at once. She did the same with the bracelet and lead me to the vanity mirror. "What would you like to do to your hair?", she asked me, stroking my hair gently,

"I'll love to leave it down please, but you could recurl it", she nodded and got to work. It did not take much effort as my hair was naturally curly but sometimes it gets stubborn and becomes frizzy. She moves to put makeup when she's done but I decline and only put lip balm on my lips. I stood up and put on my shoes, "How do I look?", I was never one to care about appearances but I felt like I just had to look my best this evening even though I did it in my own way,

"Like a true Luna even though it is different from what other Lunas wear, you still manage to look elegant in it", she assured me and that was all I needed to hear before I took off. What was wrong with me? Up until today, I never needed compliments to feed my confidence. It was probably nerves, it should be natural, after all, I was about to dine with the alpha king.

On my arrival, the door to the dinning room opened and his purple eyes were the first thing my own eyes came in contact with, no matter what, those eyes still managed to take my breath away every single time I saw them. Can you really blame me? It is not everyday you see someone with natural purple eyes. Slowly, I walk over to were he stood at the table and he pulled a chair out for me like a gentleman. I thanked him silently and he pushed it back in, he took his seat beside me at the head of the table and we sat in silence waiting for the food to be served.

"You look dashing", I heard him say and my attention was immediately on him,

"Thank you Alpha king", I said quietly as the place grew too intense, even for me,

"Dwayne", he said again and I furrowed my eyebrows in question, "My name is Dwayne... Edwards", he explained and I realised, nobody actually knew the alpha kings real name, probably too mortified to find out, "Please, you are my chosen so just refer to me as Dwayne", he informed me and I nodded,

"Okay... Dwayne", I tested the name on my tongue and found out I liked the way it sounded. It was not as menacing as I expected it to be, the name sounded rather soft and kind actually.

Soon enough, there was food on the table and we ate in absolute silence, only the sounds of clanking could be heard as our utensils made contact with our plates. Just like this morning, the food was equally as delicious and I thought of personally going to commend the cook on their culinary abilities.

"You know, I didn't choose you out of spite", he said, cutting the silence and I looked at him, "I chose you because your character intrigued me", my character? To say I was shocked was an understatement, "You were different from all other girls, very different. Your outfit choice, your no nonsense behaviour, not to mention your sassy attitude", at this I blushed, I could not hold this, "You did not seem power hungry like the others and that was exactly what I wanted. I also wanted someone who was able to voice their thoughts with confidence because that is what being a queen entails. You were natural, you wore no makeup and still managed to look beautiful even now", I felt like my heart was going to burst out of my chest with the way it was pounding rapidly, "You were rare and I wanted rare, I also believe after all these years, I deserved rare", he stood up from his seat, "I shall be retiring to our chambers, I shall see you when you are through", just like that, he walked out of the dinning room leaving me alone with my roaming thoughts.

This was not a punishment? I was chosen by him because he liked my attitude? I was genuinely surprised because I was mostly loathed for it and even cussed for it but the alpha king liked it? I had expected someone like the alpha king to choose a submissive alpha's daughter who packed tons of make up on her face but no, he chose a non submissive delta who loathed makeup. I was quick to judge him and I felt genuinely sorry. He was nothing like the rumors said he was like tonight, he was only a gentleman. Ashamed by my own actions, I lost the will to eat and pushed my plate away, I knew I needed to apologize to him for my judgement concerning him and possibly hoped to start afresh even though it would have to be baby steps. Moving too fast would only cause confusion and this was only my second day of meeting him.

Knowing what had to be done, I stood up and left the dinning room as well.
