Chapter 2 Trojan

(Nikita's P.O.V.)

Silence is the only thing you can hear in the limousine where Alpha Lucia and I are seated right now. There was a fair distance between us, but my mother didn't care about my rebellion. She knew that my defiance wouldn't change anything. Like all alphas, she didn't like people disrespecting her. And as a woman, she had to be even tougher than men in this aspect to make sure others didn't overlook her. She used her toughness perfectly on me before I turned 14 and became a wolf. I was always groomed as her successor and never had the chance to truly enjoy motherly love. I was always beaten, with wounds all over my body. But when I was confirmed as an omega at the age of 14, I was kicked out of the training grounds.

Like all omegas, I rarely saw their alphas, which was one of the reasons why I grew distant from her. But I often heard of her bravery in the pack, how she showed her strength and courage in battles with rogues. I knew that people in the pack greatly respected her.

However, when I didn't inherit everything from her, their hatred was vented onto me. They pitied alpha Lucia for having me as her daughter.

"Today is the succession ceremony for the new alpha of the Blue Moon Pack. I don't want you to embarrass me, understood?" Alpha looked ahead and said coldly.

I clenched my fists, wishing I could break the window! Succession ceremony? Why do I have to participate? I'm just a shameful omega! Although I didn't want to, I was still alpha's daughter! I began to hate being her daughter because it made me unable to refuse the responsibility that was bound to me! I couldn't watch my pack being destroyed in front of me!

The Blue Moon Pack required alphas and their unmarried daughters to attend the ceremony, and no one dared to ignore the power of the Blue Moon Pack. They needed to increase the probability of the new alpha finding a mate, and we had to let him wander his lustful eyes over us like we were objects.

Thinking of this made me feel sick.

"Maybe our mates are different from other men, and they will truly respect women," my wolf Tala comforted me.

I rolled my eyes in my mind. "Unless their penises turn into vaginas," I swore they could never have empathy.

When I felt suffocated and about to be swallowed up, the car finally arrived at the banquet venue. I was the first to get out of the car, forcefully slamming the door shut. I heard my mother's teeth grinding. "Tala! You wouldn't dare!"

But I didn't care! I'd rather die in alpha Lucia's hands than be chosen like a commodity.

My eyes landed directly at the three people waiting by the entrance to receive the guests. I locked my eyes to the tall man in the middle.

He's wearing a black suit that highlights his good built. I wasn't able to control myself from staring at his godlike face. He had the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. His lashes were so thick for a man, and his lips were just pure perfection. I wanted to touch the tip of his tall nose.

My brows slightly furrowed when he turned his head to look at me.

Our eyes met.

Those pair of gray eyes are enchanting me.

I felt butterflies when he suddenly moved his lips to a beautiful smile.

What the hell is happening to me?!

I avoided his gaze, collecting myself together, when a whiff of wind blew my face together with his scent.

"Mate..." my wolf mumbled.

Mate? When I tried to confirm the scent of my mate, I found that it had disappeared, there was nothing there.

My body felt a sharp pain, this is the instinct of the bond, like how you feel pain when you break a rib, it is a problem that we cannot avoid.

(Trojan's P.O.V.)

I smiled at the people coming to me to shake my hand. I swear, I've been giving them the same face, and it looks like no one hasn't realized yet that it's fake.

Today is my succession ceremony, a special day, as what my Mother claims it to be. I'm not a party person, and I hate entertaining people. Nevertheless, I will not argue with what my mother said because today is a chance for me to find my mate.

Everyone knows me as the perfect heir of the Blue Moon Pack. I'm strong, gentleman, and kind ever since I was a child. I'm everything that is good, and so that's why they called me the flawless Trojan.

You can say I'm flaunting, but really, I'm just telling the truth. They say that the girl who would be selected by the Moon Goddess as my mate will be the luckiest Luna.

But I think I'm the lucky one...

"You look spectacular, Trojan."

I smiled at the man who just gave me praise. I shook his hand.

"You must be thanking all the Gods and Goddesses to have him as your son," he told my mother. I glanced at her. She's smiling proudly. They exchanged a few words more, and I didn't bother joining because I'm already exhausted.

I glanced at the parking lot again. It's almost the end of the waiting time. We will enter indoors very soon. Where is Alpha Lucia? Where is her daughter?

The wait is making me anxious. I wonder if all the compliments I received about my look tonight were true. I want to look my best when she sees me.

I paused when I saw a familiar car driving to the parking lot. I can't be wrong. It's Alpha Lucia's limousine.

I restrained myself from approaching the car, and opening the door myself. I can't wait to see her daughter. My heart is beating so fast, and I think it's about to explode.

I stared at the car door, waiting for her to step out. Soon after, the door opened, and the most beautiful girl I've seen came out.

I felt my whole world stopped, and everything just disappeared. The only think I could see was her.

Her beauty.

She looks astonishing in her vermillion colored dress. Her long straight hair dances to the blew of the wind, making way to her angelic yet alluring face. I felt a strong bang in my heart when our eyes met. She has beautiful green eyes. Her lips were so plump and pink like they were inviting me. Her cheeks are rosy red; I want to touch them.

She looks so beautifully fragile for this world, I'm afraid I'd break her with the slightest touch.

"She's our mate..." Lupus mumbled inside my head.

I smiled, my wait did not disappoint me. Although Nikita never knew of my existence, I was certain that she must be my mate.
