Chapter 4

Lilac*

"What is wrong with you today!"Sander's yell brought me back to my senses.

With hasten footsteps I left their sight, I didn't dared to glance back at them because I already knew Sander expression would be full of disgust and discontempt.

As for Alpha Drayce, I knew chosing a Luna from one of the girls was for the best, he wouldn't want an already marked wolf for a Luna, I mean, no man would agree to that.

My eyes stung and I kept blinking so much to stop the tears from flowing down.

I went to the dressing room where the girls were preparing and to my surprise everyone was trying their best to glamour up themselves, they all wanted to mate Alpha Drayce.

Who wouldn't? Just a glance at him made me drool over him and my pantie was heavily drenched with arousal fluid.

Alpha Drayce was handsome and with those deep set of red eyes and with that body, the aura that emit dominance and power made him rare and perfect.

He was mine, Mine alone.

But reality did a rain check on me, I was already taken and marked, someone else's Luna not his, so how the hell do I claimed him to be mine alone?

"The alpha has arrived" I hid my distorted face.

The girls shriek with excitement and began battering me with questions.

"Is he handsome and sexy?"

"Does he really have red eyes?"

"Does he look scary?"

The girls eyes turns from dreamy to desperate.

"I can't wait to have him to myself" one of the girls said and they all squeal loudly with joy.

Even when I tried to brighten up I still couldn't shake off that feeling of sorrow and jealousy in my heart.

This handsome man they so desired and were all squealing about is mine but I couldn't claim him. Edya my wolf bared her teeth and strangely I could feel her presence, the surge of anger mixed with jealousy, that rage boiling in me.

I bared my teeth as my wolf growled inside me but I held myself back.

"Are..you okay?" Stephanie asked.

I turned around to have a look at her, my hand held her shoulder intact. she had a sincere worries on her face, the irritation and annoyance that I felt dissipated immediately, her innocent look tugged at my heart which made me felt like an awful person.

Stephanie who had changed into a beautiful peach body hug A-shaped gown with an updo hairstyle smiled sweetly at me.

Maybe Alpha Drayce likes this types of girls, sweet and naive with no traumatic past.

I smiled warmly pushing back those thoughts as I cupped her face in my palms.

"I already mistaken you for a lost Luna" I teased her.

I could see some strikes of pink on her two cheeks as she blushed.

"You are right ma'am, I am the lost Luna of the Northern pack" she answered with a charming grin.

Who would not fall for such a sweet bold girl.

"I'm sure the Alpha will lost his voice once you walk into that lounge" I said, even though it's broke my heart to say it, I really wished Alpha Drayce picked her.

Stephanie is a very nice, strong willed girl and I was sure she would fill his blank paper with her colorful flawless ink.

"Thank you my Luna" she made to bow but I held her shoulder in place as I shook my head.

"But what if...."

"No if's, and it will be his lost" I sealed her lips with my finger.

"Who wouldn't want a beautiful woman for a Luna"

She smiled blushingly as fidgeted with her fingers, I could tell from the brew of sweat on her forehead that she was somewhat agitated.

I laughed to cover up my wolf which was eagerly gnashing it's teeth at the girls.

Will Drayce really think her to be right for him?

But why do I care? I'm already someone's chosen Luna.

Perhaps I was just being paranoid, I thought to myself.

"Alright ladies, walk behind me" I said to them forcing a smile.

I could barely keep the facade, "I wish you all the best out there"

I choke at my words cause I never really meant it, Edya was already cursing at them.

I walked them down the stairs to the lounge, Alpha Drayce was seated on one of couch facing the door and the moment I entered his eyes locked on mine.

He wore his regular confident face, like he was the only alpha in the room and his aura work magic as no one dared to speak if not in the position to do so, including the chicken Alpha Sander.

I could hear Sander stammering when talking to him.

What a pussy!

Alpha Drayce would stared deep into my eyes every now and then, even when I batted my eyes, he would find my eyes again.

What exactly does he want to see?

My wolf stirred restlessly in me, she was already ogling at our mate, Edya took that little distraction to send me a picture of me straddling alpha Drayce on that same couch with his tongue lashing at my nipples and me ridding him in a cowgirl s*x style.

I stylishly hit myself on the head to erase such thought from it.

This wasn't the right moment to get riled up and wet.

The scary looking bodyguards contributed to the suffocating atmosphere, Alpha Drayce dominance nature made Sander look like a toilet fly.

All Sander does was to plastered a fake smile on his face.

I would say to myself that he was a disappointment to the southern pack to lick his fellow alpha shoes, and for what? Power!

His mad cravings for power would be the end of him one day.

If only I can be allowed to video him, sweating like an errand boy just to please alpha Drayce I would replayed it each time he molest me in future, at least I would have a good laugh to my heart content.

But here's to the reality, I was helping my fated mate to choose a mate and I wasn't given a choice.

Was I ever given a choice Or that was my excuse.

If it's goes well and he picked someone I really hoped we never crossed path again, Never!

He finally looked at the girls which I had lined up in front of him, each of them got a split of a second glance, Alpha Drayce looked at them uninterested, he didn't even try to hide his displeasing look at them.

"Here are all the unmates ladies of the pack"

There was a complete silence that if an ant was to stray by, it would be difficult not to hear it sound.

Then I heard his footsteps and I looked up which I later regretted because his deadly bloodshot red eyes were on me as he approached.

My heart pounded hard.

Calm down Lilac else, you might die of pulsating heartbeat, I warned myself.

I looked down at my feet as I waited for him to get to me but it's never happened then I raised up my head and saw him, examining the girls each by each.

I would held my breath to know how long he would stay at his position staring at one of the girls or be interested in any of them but there was none that last more than a minute, the last person on the row was Stephanie as he approached her, my heart stop beating, I felt blurred and tears welled up in my eyes.

I had said to myself that I was okay with Alpha Drayce chosen her, but why did I felt like my heart is about to be ripped out of my chest?

As I predicted Stephanie caught his attention, as his uninterested face lit a bit with an intrigued look.

Stephanie glance towards me and I gestured for her to relax.

I really needed that gesture myself too.

He looked her up to her toes and nodded.

I felt like my heart had been nailed and crucify on a cross.

This was what I wanted right? but why does it hurt so much.

Alpha Drayce turned and walked back to his seat while Stephanie grin from ear to ear and the other girls gave her the irritative eyes.

"Alpha Sander, I must give you this. You have such stunning ladies in your pack" Bryan who had been seated on the right hand of Alpha Drayce couch all this while blurted out.

"It's felt so hard to make a decision on who to pick even for my alpha"

"Oh really? he can pick more if one isn't enough" Alpha Sander said boldly as he picked a glass of nectar to have a sip.

I felt irritated at his shitty remark, he is advising the alpha exactly what he does.

Alpha Drayce narrowed his eyes at him, "is that how you treat your Luna?" His ice cold baritone echoed.

Sander shrank back to his seat as he dropped his glass, the nectar spilled on the table.

"I would never, she's my life" he said trying to convince everyone he blew me a kiss and I forced myself to smile.

"So, do you find anyone of the damsels appealing?"

I swallowed hard.

"Yes I do" he said with a dare devil grin.

My head suddenly became too heavy for my body to carry.

"Really?! Who is it?!" Alpha Sander asked eagerly.

I suddenly felt sick but I held myself in place, Sander will kill me if I in any way mess things up.

Drayce wasn't at all in a hurry as he open his palm for Bryan who brought out a very fat cigarette and lit it up for him.

He took a long drag and puffed out smoke from his nose, he looked so calm and collected, while our pulsating heart threatened to break out of our ribcage we stared at him with anxiety like kids waiting on the ice cream man.

He pointed out his finger.

"I pick..."
