Her lips

ALPHA MICHA’S POV

I was nervous, totally covered with anxiety. I didn't know why but my heart was racing as fast as it could ever be racing. I wasn't even comfortable where I sat on a couch in my room, shaking my legs trying to figure out why they were not back.

I picked up the picture from the slan in front of me again and I stared into her face. She was pretty except for the fact that she was looking so dirty and worn out. But that wasn't my problem at the moment. My problem was that I had finally found her in ages.

She was going to get better I know but I couldn't just hide my happiness. Everything seemed to be getting better. I stood up from where I sat and let out a heavy sigh.

Just then, my phone rang and I didn't take a look at the caller before I picked it up. "Where are you, Zel?" I asked, impatiently since I needed a quick response.

"We just drove into the territory, I'll be at your office soon. I will leave her to the maid to dress her up before she comes to you, I hope you don't mind," she uttered.

I do mind. I needed to see her as soon as possible but she also had to clean up and get dressed by the maids so I couldn't say no. "You should tell the maids to be careful with her, I'm not going to listen to their stories, Zel," I told her, slyly and I could picture her nodding her head before the phone went off.

I do trust Zel since she was going to do a perfect job so I wasn't bothered. Zeal was my Beta and she had been the one helping me out to find my mates for days. I had been mateless for years now and it didn't even bother me since I was hoping to see her someday, not until my uncle who was still busy warming the throne told me he wasn't going to leave the throne to me if I don't find my mate, surprising right?

I'm Micha and I'm the rightful owner of the throne to the Twilight Sun pack after my father. But when I lost my parents, I was very little and couldn't take up the throne which was then passed down to my ruthless and cunning Uncle who was as much as I was on the throne right from then. Then I was grown now and I had to take back what belonged to me. After calling out a meeting to announce to them that I was ready to take the throne, my Uncle came up with a devious idea.

"He should have a mate before he gets on the throne," my Uncle suggested that day and I felt my blood burning hot in anger. I could feel rage encircling my entire body. I could feel my wolf in rage and if I wasn't able to control it, I could have caused the murder of my Uncle. Like, why the hell must I find my mate before I get the throne? Was that the rule for me to become an Alpha? It was my rightful place. I couldn't tell why I had to find my mate whom I didn't have any idea if I would someday.

Unfortunately for me, the council agreed with him and from that day on, I had been on a hunt for my mate. I had to make Zel meet a magician who gave us her scent that we could use to find her. Zel did almost the job perfectly. Going around with the scent looking for my mate till she finally found her in the hands of ruthless criminals in the underworld after so many months.

There was a knock on my door and I jerked out of my reflection as my eyes traveled to the door after smelling who the person was. "Come in," I mumbled and watched the doorknob turn open with Zel striding in, having a stern look which was her normal look since she was well disciplined and wouldn't accept nonsense. Don't blame her, I trained her to be so and she does surpass what I trained her to be. She had become a very fierce lady and I was proud of her. She can't ride.

"She's been taken care of," Zel uttered. I nodded my head in response and I looked at the image in my hand before finally dropping it off on my desk.

"How was your trip? I hope you are well. You did a great job, buddy. Nice job," I complimented and she stooped her head low to accept my compliment.

"I'm glad you can finally take up the throne," she mumbled and I nodded my head, desperately.

"I'm more than happy, Zel. I came to wait to put that man off my place," I said with so much arrogance and she smirked at what I meant.

There was a pause between us for a moment before she broke it. "I will bring her to you as soon as she is done. I will take my leave now." I watched her spin around and make her way toward the door to leave.

Just when she was about to close the door behind me, I called her. "Thank you once again."

She didn't respond to me and closed the door behind her while I breathed in before letting them out then I threw myself on my bed, wishing for when she finally comes to me. Before I knew what was happening, I dozed off.

|Some Minutes Later|

She entered my room and stood by the doorway. I sensed her presence immediately and stirred on the bed. She watched me anxiously as she grabbed hold of the helm of her dress. Her shyness touched her eyes and made her tremble visibly.

I got out of bed and walked to where she stood. She flinched with every step I took. Her body shook feverishly.

"Relax, pretty," I said softly.

My hand grazed the flesh of her shoulder as I cupped her face. She went pale and avoided my eyes. Her beauty made my bones ache with hunger.

I stiffened.

Something's off! I thought about getting an alert all at once. I watched her closely as she struggled to avoid my gaze.

That was when I saw it. Her lips! Someone had touched her!! I could inhale the faint scent of the imposter who had violated her lips.

"Who!" I snarled at her. "Who kissed you?"
