Mated To The Alpha's Heir

  2: The Little Boy The waitress is soon back with their orders. The three girls momentarily forget their conversation and dig. For someone who ordered the most food, Kylie is the first to finish eating. She wipes the corners of her mouth with a napkin. "Such a nice meal," she says, satisfied. The other two just stare at her. For people who have been sister and friend to her for years, it still surprises them to see her eat the most and finish it all up in the twinkling of an eye. "What is it?" Kylie asks when she notices their stares. "You know what? Never mind," Serah replies. Her twin scoffs. "Anyway, Camilla darling, you don't have to feel downcast. The day is just starting, after all. Just give it time and everything will fall in place," she says. The certainty in her tone brings a smile to her friend's face. In a few minutes, the three girls are in

Kylie was the first one to lay her back on the floor."We've barely been working for ten minutes and you're already tired," Serah remarks. "I think I take back my earlier comment. You're lazier than Camilla.""Good. Now, apologize for making me look like the black sheep in our group," Camilla says with a mock frown.Serah waves her hand nonchalantly. "Oh please. If you like, wait for me to say that. You'll wait until you grow old with ten cats.""But for real though, I now understand why Mom and Dad advised us to open the window," Kylie says, panting."Yeah. These gifts are so many and they were wrapped so securely," Serah agrees. Camilla doesn't join their conversation. She's more interested in why so many people would go this far for her. After all, she doesn't even know half the people in this living room and they're more than twelve!Kylie snaps her fingers in her friend's face. "You really need to stop zoning out like this," she says.

6: Finding HimGlancing at the armor for the fifth time since they got back to the office, Camilla still can't believe what happened some minutes back. How did they decide to bring her into the army so soon? Most importantly, why?"You seem excited. I'm glad," alpha Adan says as he sees her steal several glances at what used to be her aunt's armor."Yeah, I'm excited. This doesn't happen to just anyone, you know," she replies as she eats some of the cake he got for her.Alpha Adan seems a little surprised. "I don't understand. Weren't you planning to take over the family's legacy?" he asks."Of course I was, but I didn't think it was going to be this soon. Plus, Waylen didn't take up his. I still wonder why." Her countenance drops for a moment. The thought of him reminds her of what brought her to the alpha's lodge in the first place. "By the way, I have something to ask.""Go on."She tells him about the argument she got into with her friends concerning the bestowing of blessings. He

8: MissingStartled by the sudden and hurried slamming of his office door, Alpha Adan looks up from his paperwork. Waylen is breathing heavily, pacing about."Are you going to tell me what the problem is?" Alpha Adan asks when Waylen doesn't say anything for a few minutes.The young man ignores him and continues to pace. The alpha goes back to his work when it's evident the young man isn't ready to speak yet."How can you remain so calm?" comes Waylen's voice."Pardon me?" The older man looks up from the paperwork a second time."You heard me. I ran in here distraught but you're sitting there like nothing happened," Waylen says with some bitterness.Calmly dropping his pen and resting his back in the chair, the alpha intertwines his fingers. "You came in here in a flurry. Naturally, one would expect you to say something to explain the state in which you barged into my office," he replies.Waylen's stare doesn't waver. Seeing him that way, the alpha sighs and says, "Alright. What's the

10: FoundAnother day without her. Waylen hasn't given up yet but Alpha Adan ordered him not to interfere with the search. Staring at the picture they took as children, tears threaten to fall from his eyes but he pushes them back.On the day of his eighteenth birthday, all Waylen could see or think about was her. There were no blessings conducted for him. He simply woke up to see no one but his sister in the house. Apparently, their parents were out but he didn't mind. It was the perfect way for him to leave the house unrestricted."Happy birthday," Camilla said when she saw him, giving him a hug. Her hugs always felt weird to him. They made his body feel electrified."Thanks, Camille," he replied, managing to return her hug with a side one.He was gone as soon as possible, to avoid seeing his parents. He didn't want them to slow him down.~~~After a fun day, Waylen came home to a lovely aroma coming from the kitchen. His dad was in the living room, waiting for him."There's my boy,"
