2| Mine

                                                                                Mine 

"A million times over, I will always choose you"

                                                                         Sin's POV

Tonight's the night.

Hopefully I'd find my mate.

I'd woken up this morning to my family bursting in with a cake singing happy birthday.

At 9 in the fucking morning.

I'd took a walk around the Pack, just to see if I could feel anything.

But I came up with nothing

It couldn't be anyone from within our pack then.

It was now 7 and I was failing miserably to put a tie on.

The ball was starting soon and I couldn't get this fucking thing on properly.

There was a soft knock at the door and a moment later my mum waltzed in, a long black dress on and her hair threw up in a bun.

She gave me one look and sighed, a small smile on her face as she crossed the room and began helping me

"Nervous?" she smirked

I loved my mother, she was one of the only people that ever saw the real me.

Everyone expected the big bad Alpha son, but I didn't think I was that bad.

"Completely... what if I don't find her?" I asked quietly, she hummed, fixing my tie in place

"Then you'll wait. It doesn't matter how long it takes, once you find her everything will melt away, nothing else will matter" she smiled.

I laughed

"That what it was like with dad?" I asked

"Oh god no. I had a friend at the time who was a guy, your father knocked him out and carried me off to his house, apparently no one was good enough to be in my presence let alone look at me" she laughed, I joined in, moving in front of her to look in the mirror.

"What if she doesn't want me?" I asked, my voice so quiet I'm sure without werewolf hearing she wouldn't have heard

"Then she wasn't worth the bond in the first place" she said simply.

I know she was trying to comfort me, but the idea of her rejecting me, made me physically sick.

Mom smoothed my suit out over my shoulders, giving me a smile in the mirror.

"Just... don't lose your head darling, you've got Alpha blood. Royal blood. Your emotions will be 10 times higher than everyone else. Hell your father kept me at his house for a week without letting me out" she laughed, thinking back to their youth.

I gave her one last smile, kissed her forehead and we made our way downstairs.

I loved my mum and dad's relationship, but they were so different. My mother was an angel, whereas my father was a fucking tyrant half the time.

He was waiting at the bottom of the stairs with Toby, his stoic face seemed to brighten immediately when he laid eyes on mom.

"Ready?" He asked, taking her hand and moving for the door

"As I'll ever be" I said, holding the door open for everyone.

We made our way across our estate, heading for the big hall we held balls and gatherings in.

The place was decked out in white and gold.

There was already tons of people here, the place was fucking massive seeing as we had over 50 packs attending tonight.

Everyone stopped as we entered, we stood at the top of the stairs, everyone gave a bow and waited for us to descend.

Once we did the conversation immediately returned and we weaved through the crowd to our seats near the back of the ballroom.

On my way through I didn't feel anything, didn't smell anything, Kade was pacing around nervously in my head, I tried to push his anxiety out of my mind.

I'll find her

I know I will... eventually.

Whilst my family took their seats for a while, I conversed with anyone around me.

Making pleasantries with other Alphas and subtly trying to sniff out my mate.

It was around an hour into the night I felt a hand lightly touch my arm, signalling for me to turn around

I was met with the sight of Lindsey Danvers, the soon to be Alpha of the Red crescent pack.

She already found her mate a year ago, her name was Georgia and she was lovely, she had all the qualities to become a great Luna, they were linked in arms and both smiling warmly at me.

"Alpha Sin" Lindsey greeted, holding her hand out for me to shake, I did so, also shaking Georgia's

"I'm not an Alpha yet Lindsey" I said with a chuckle

"As good as" she laughed

"The party's marvellous" Georgia commented, looking around at all the decorations.

"Thank yo-" I was cut off from a reply by a slight shriek next to me

"Sin" I winced at the voice of Lacey, she was dressed head to toe in pink, her face beaming at me.

She was still 17, but if we were mates she'd be able to feel the bond.

I didn't feel anything towards her.

Thank god.

Her face strained but she maintained her smile, obviously disappointed we aren't mates.

"You know my sister" Lindsey sighed as she introduced her

Anyone could tell even Lindsey and Georgia couldn't bare putting up with her incessant behaviour.

"Your looking very handsome" she smiled, moving closer to me

"Thanks" I mumbled, looking around subtly for some type of escape.

"Would you maybe like to dance?" She asked sweetly, her eyes batting up at me.

Christ no.

I wanted to get the fuck out of here.

My advanced hearing allowed me to pick up on certain sounds normal humans wouldn't

Every clink of a champagne glass, the wind outside, and the main doors opening.

I heard the doors open as I looked to Lindsey for help to get away from her sister, but my attention snapped to the staircase immediately.

The most beautiful smell of honey and peaches invading all of my senses.

Gripping me in every way

Mate! Mate! Get mate!

I felt my eyes shifting darker, I could smell her, and when I looked further up the staircase I could see her.

My little mate.

                                                                           Blossom's POV

"Come on we'll be late!" Quinn practically screamed at me

"Why do you even care? You already have a mate... what are you getting out of tonight?" I asked as I pinned my hair up in the mirror.

She was sat on the bed, putting her blue heels on, her white dress flowing over the edge of the covers.

"Sawyers always busy with training. We barely get any time together nowadays, tonight is all about us" she grinned.

"You mean all about you" I teased

She rolled her eyes

"Fine it's about me... I wanna be pampered, dress up. Besides... I'm hoping after he sees me in this he'll finally give in and mate with me" she explained.

I nearly choked on my own air

"You still haven't mated?" I asked

They'd already marked each other, it was odd for wolves not to have sex quite early.

Once the mark was given, the body became more desperate for the other's touch, the bond grew stronger, it was a way to ensure survival, to ensure mating.

"No" she sighed

"I've been dropping hints like crazy but he won't act on anything, I think he thinks I'm not ready. But I am. And it's getting harder and harder to not touch him. Plus the heat is a bitch" she said, standing up and looking at me expectantly.

"Okay I'm done" I said, turning around and pulling my heels on.

We made our way outside, Micah, Sawyer, Acacia, Warren and Magnolia were already in the car waiting for us.

We started moving and the car remained silent, the only sounds were the disgusting canoodling of Warren and Mags, and Sawyer and Quinn.

"So are you excited?" Mags beamed after a while, her question aimed at me and Micah

"For what?" I asked confused

"You might find your mates" she squealed.

I rolled my eyes and gave her a smile

"Underaged" I said, gesturing between me and Micah

"So... you may have an older mate... a sugar daddy if you will" she laughed, making me cringe at the mere thought.

"Baby please don't ever talk about Bloss having a sugar daddy" Warren sighed, also seeming quite disgusted at the thought

She just shrugged, leaning her back against his chest as she played with his hands.

It took us a while to get to the ball, especially as we were a few packs over, but eventually we made it.

It was already an hour in, maybe an hour and a half.

I stepped out, taking Micah's offered hand.

"Me lady" he bowed, making me giggle

We walked in, the entire place was guarded, but the hallway itself looked gorgeous, the intricate designs of the golden ceiling, the white roses laid out in vases.

I couldn't even imagine how good the ballroom looked.

"Ready?" Micah whispered

I nodded, tightening my hold on him slightly

The doors were opened and we were met with a grand staircase.

A few people gave us a look, my brother was an Alpha after all.

We made it halfway down the staircase, Warren and Mags in front, Sawyer and Quinn behind with Acacia.

I was frozen in place when a loud growl ripped through the hall.

Everyone stopped moving, stopped talking, even the band stopped playing.

The growl was so loud and radiated such dominance and power that most people had even bowed down.

I looked around cautiously, my eyes falling on the only figure that moved.

It was Sin

Dressed in a black suit, black tie, tattoos crawling from the sleeves.

I knew the moment my eyes landed on him what was happening

I could smell nothing but mint and fresh pine, that and Kore was going crazy in my head.

Mate!... found mate!

Get mate!

She chanted over and over in my head

He was storming up the stairs towards me, and it was only when I saw the fire in his eyes I knew why he was pissed off.

"You need to get away from me" I whispered, unlinking my arm from Micah's

"What?" He asked, looking between the two of us.

"Now Micah" I seethed, pushing him away but keeping my eyes solely on Sin.

It seemed to click in Micah's head and he stumbled back to stand with Quinn.

I got overwhelmed with how much I wanted to feel him. To hold him.

A feeling that was quickly satisfied as he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his hard chest.

So tightly I'm not sure how I was even breathing.

He dug his head into my neck and took a deep inhale, breathing in my scent.

I wonder what I smell like to him.

"Mine" he murmured into my neck

"Mine... Mine Mine!" He said, getting louder each time.

His head pulled up and his eyes were completely black

"Mine!" He growled at Micah, still holding me close

"Hey... hey" I whispered, grasping his face softly

He looked at me and I felt like my legs were going to give out.

"I'm your" I whispered, hearing Kore purr in approval in my head

"Mine" he growled again, caging me in his arms and drowning me in his godly scent.
