The morning breeze blew, and the crystal clear dewdrops slid down the leaves and jumped cheerfully. The green grasses woke up under the gentle morning light, and it looked greener under the shower of rain and dew. A few little birds screamed crisply at Alpha Dennis window and the sound awakened him.

He gently pushed open the window and fresh, fragrant air rushed over. He took a deep breath and allowed the cool breeze to blow on his face.

He crossed his hands across his chest and let out a loud sigh. Today was the mating ceremony of his best friend and Beta.

Alpha Dennis hated to go to mating ceremonies as he always felt intimidated whenever he attend such events. He was twenty four and still couldn't feel his mate which means he might probably not have one.

Alpha Dennis sighed and stood up from his bed, he stretched and headed for the bathroom. He stepped under the shower and allowed the warm water to run down his body, different thoughts ran through his head as he did that. It wasn't a good thing not to feel one mate, and the Alpha was bothered about it, his people were beginning to pressure him about it and he feared it might make them turn against him.

Minutes after he was done bathing and dressing, he walked out of his room, fully dressed in a white turtleneck sweater and a black suit. He wore a black shining shoe and one could see their reflection in them.

Alpha Dennis is a very handsome man with jet black hair that sparkled under light, he also had a pair of scythe-shaped eyebrows. His hawkish nose and half-dome cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw.

His broad and well chiseled shoulders were part of his burly physique, it was very obvious he was a gym regular. He always walked with a tiger-like spring and his sea rover blue eyes twinkled whenever he speaks. They were almond-shaped and were always a-flush with triumph. His brash personality and bass voice were a big part of his ambitious character with his signature earthy scent of loamy cologne that always swirled around him.

He looked into the big mirror placed on the corridor and adjusted his clothes. Alpha Dennis walked down the curved stairs of his big mansion soliloquizing as he walked, he took a quick glance at the very large potrait of him on the right side of the wall that his Beta hung up the day before.

He looked away and took the stairs down to the dining room so he could whip himself a quick snack before his sister and her mate who happened to be his gamma arrived. His parents had insisted he drove with them to the pack house as they were afraid he wouldn't grace the ceremony.

Alpha Dennis turned towards the kitchen and stood still as he met his sister and her mate kissing, right inside of his kitchen.

Lucy, Alpha Dennis sister had her hands wrapped around Fred's neck, whilst Fred had his hands firmly on her waist.

Alpha Dennis rested on the door and watched as Fred's hands went back and forth on Lucy's body as they rolled their tongues against each other, their mouths made a ticklish sound which got Alpha Dennis pissed.

He stood there for a while but they still didn't notice his presence, his blood boiled, he hated to see such things, he cleared his throat and the both of them jerked away from each other.

"What are you both doing in my house?", he asked quitely trying to dispel his anger, he dipped his hands into his pocket, and gave Fred a glare as he waited for their answers.

"We were just being a normal couple," his sister Lucy responded with a wide grin.

Alpha Dennis eyes turned red immediately, he felt like she just rubbed the fact that he had no mate right on his face, it was obvious to Lucy that he was angry, she immediately realized what she just said and gasped.

"I'm sorry Dennis." She pleaded batting her eyelids and pouting.

Alpha Dennis sighed and calmed himself down.

"Can we leave now?"

"Yeah sure." Lucy replied and gave Fred a quick kiss again.

"Lucy", Dennis barked, his deep voice echoed between the walls of the room and came back at them

" I don't want to be late", he said and walked out of the house, Lucy and Fred walked gently behind him, they wouldn't want to get on his nerves again.

They got into the car and drove to the venue. After minutes of silent drive, Alpha Dennis cleared his throat.

"Fred," he called.

"Hey." Fred replied, he had stayed quite all through the banter between the both of them.

"I just wanted to ask what you think about something" Dennis said in a calm voice

"Sure go ahead," Fred urged him to continue

"It is about the Pack business," Alpha Dennis said turning the car to the left.

Lucy groaned. "Can't we talk about something else asides the pack?"

"I wasn't talking to you Lucy."

"But I'm in the car with you both." She whined.

Fred knew if he didn't interrupt, the siblings would turn the discussion into another heated argument.

"What is it about the Pack business?" Fred asked disrupting the both of them.

"The enforcers are protecting our border, we can't bring anything in," Dennis explained.

"What!", Fred exclaimed. "what have you done about this?" he asked.

"I've tried to talk them out of it but they would not listen", Dennis ranted.

"I don't think talking them out of it would be the solution." Fred stated.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

Fred chuckled, "Dennis we all know who you are."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean you wouldn't have held a productive talk with those people, you aren't patient enough to convince them." Fred stressed.

"We could think of something else to do, we should talk to Troy about it, let's see..." Fred was still talking but Lucy stopped him with a kiss, she was lost to what they were discussing and was tired of hearing them talk.

Since they were seated at the back seat and Alpha Dennis car had a partition between the drivers seat and the passengers seat, she shamelessly pulled him to herself and tugged at his hair, Fred couldn't resist her, he bent and kissed her back, Lucy took that as a go ahead and crawled into his legs straddling him as she did. He pulled her closer to himself and bit her lips, Lucy chuckled as her lips burnt from pleasure, she wanted him right there and she couldn't hide it.

"I want you." she moaned silently into his ears.

Fred's eyes widened, "Now?", he asked with a smile, it was obvious he wanted it too but they couldn't dare have sex on Alpha Dennis car.

"Yeah, right now and here", Lucy mumbled and pulled him closer, her head hovering right above his.

"Fred," Dennis called when he noticed the both of them behind him were suddenly quite.

"Fred," he called again but Fred had his lips on Lucy so he couldn't answer.

Alpha Dennis turned to see what was happening, but he couldn't since the partition was covering them but he need no soot Sayer to let him know what the both of them were up to behind him.

He smirked and pressed hard on the car accelerator then slammed hard on his brake making the car jerk back and front before coming to an halt.

Lucy screamed. "Are you trying to kill us?"

Alpha Dennis laughed, "Of course not dear sister, I was only trying to get your attention."

Lucy seemed angry at him and kept fuming until they got to the venue of the ceremony.

************

The party was in full swing when Alpha Dennis walked in; as much as he wanted to get in without being noticed, he still couldn't help the states from the people.

Who wouldn't be attracted to the Alpha of the Miyake pack? With his black suit shining under the lights of the ballroom, his turtle neck sparkling more than diamonds would, his well-polished black shoes, and perfectly combed jet black hair.

Alpha Dennis was nothing short of handsome, and as soon as he walked in, all eyes were on him, making him feel awkward as he was flaunting the order of coming to the party with a plus one.

He ignored the many not-so-subtle stares of people and walked deeper into the room, returning greetings and bowing in response to those who turned to him.

He soon got to his reserved seat beside the couples and sat awkwardly. Everyone else sat as soon as he did; they had been waiting for him to arrive so he could make the toast for the couple.

When the last symphony was played, Alpha Dennis stood up and faced everyone.

"Good evening, great people of the Miyake clan." He greeted.

"Good evening." They all replied excitedly.

Alpha Dennis smiled at their enthusiasm; it was apparent they were all enjoying themselves. Maybe he would have enjoyed the gathering if he had a mate, but he couldn't bear them glued to their lovers.

"Thanks for gracing this great event in honor of my best friend and amiable Beta Troy and his sweet mate Alicia." He nodded his head at Ben with a teasing smile.

"Before I proceed, I'll like to give y'all a brief history of my friend here." He Said and everyone giggled.

"Troy has been my friend for twenty-four years now, and he has been a great friend and Beta, a very naughty and fun-loving person. I'm so glad he is finally moving to another stage in his life. Troy, here is me saying congratulations." Alpha Denis said.

"Thank you for all you do for the pack and me." He added appreciatively, turning away from the couple to face the audience.

"Today, we celebrate this great union specially ordained by the moon goddess." He said, and everyone erupted in happy noises.

"I love you." Alicia blushed as Troy pecked her lips slightly.

Alpha Dennis lifted his cup of wine and raised it. "Here is to a very fruitful union."

Everyone clicked their glass in a toast, and the musicians began playing once again. The people soon dispersed in all directions; some went to get food, some resumed at the dance floor, while some were together in groups of two and three gossiping about what was and not.

Alpha Dennis looked around uninterested, he had just got here, and he was bored already; he also wasn't comfortable with the stares some of the elderly ones were giving him.

    Alpha Dennis couldn't be more grateful that although they could stare at him, they couldn't come to him to criticize him for not bringing along someone. He stood up and moved towards the couple when he found them alone. "My warmest congratulations." He said, breaking them away from their hug. Troy laughed, and Alicia blushed against his chest. It was apparent Troy just told her something probably dirty. "Thank you, friend," Troy said, placing his hands in Alpha Denis's hands to shake him. "Thanks for gracing our mating ceremony." Alicia thanked him as she pulled away from his hug. "The pleasure is mine." Alpha Dennis said, smiling widely at both of them.

    They drove in silence as Kelsey directed Alpha Dennis to her house, he couldn't stop looking and exploring her face as he drove to her house. Kesley's house was the far opposite Alpha Dennis's house; that would be a long drive for him as he would have to driveway back down the road to his house. She was grateful for the favor, but she felt terrible for causing him such inconvenience. "Thanks for the trouble." She said, "The pleasure is mine." Alpha Dennis smiled; he didn't see it as being inconvenienced; he was rather glad he could help out. More so, he'd just almost run her over; what better way to apologize. The car got silent again, and Alpha Dennis tried making small conversations attempting to ease off the silence in the car. "How are your sister and her husband?" He asked her and cringed at how absurd the question sounded. "They are fine." "I haven't seen them around in a while." He said. "You should have seen them tonight; they both attended the ball party held in Troy'

Kelsey stopped and stared at him for some minutes, "But why do you need a fake mate?", she mumbled Dennis fell back to his seat, he placed his hands on the car steering wheel and sighed, "I am 24 already and I don't have a mate, I can't even feel her unlike others who can feel theirs. My Beta, Troy got mated to his mate today but I still can't feel mine", he ranted Kelsey could understand his pain as she was in the same situation, she knew how it felt to see others getting mated

    Denis stormed out of the room in anger pushing past Ophelia.“Make sure she’s fine.” He ordered pointing at an unconscious Kelsey before walking through the door.

    And there it was. The silence Denis literally killed for. Simon's manic laughter no longer filled the air and now what they were left with was Jerry’s silent sobs. “You better start talking if you know what’s good for you.” Denis said and Jerry starts to wail even louder. “I have no idea what he was talking about, I swear. Simon spent most of his years trapped inside a clinic, you can’t believe everything that came out of his mouth.” Jerry said vigorously wiping his tears while staring at Simon's body.“You’re the liar!” Kelsey shrieked. Denis arms were still wrapped around her keeping her in place. “I’m not lying I swear! I didn’t kill your parents.” Jerry continued to defend himself and it pissed Kelsey off even more. “I saw the fucking pictures, you sick stalker! I saw everything!” Kelsey finally blurted outhaving kept it in for too long, she had had enough of Jerry’s lies.

    The road to the cabin was hardly even a road. It was just a thick fog of leaves and trees, basically a forest but with tire tracks.“I thought you said your family used to come here?” Denis growled at Jerry when the car bumped into something for the umpteenth time. “We used to, like a million years ago.” Simon snapped back, he was in an uncomfortable state at the back, therefore taking all the hit of the car. He’d bumped his head a million times, he was sure it was going to give in and crack anytime soon.“I think they’re building something out here.” Peter commented. “These tire tracks, they’re not just your regular tire tracks, it’s definitely from a heavy machine, look how deep it sunk.”“I don’t give a shit what they’re building, it’s out of my jurisdiction and I just want Kelsey.” Denis answered and increased his speed ignoring every bump on the way and letting Jerry bear the brunt of it “It’s the other way.” Jerry said pointing with his head.“You better not be bullshitting

They were about to go another drive around the pack when he stopped walking and started acting like he was possessed and he could see ghosts but when he mentioned Kelsey, it started to make more sense.“Yes and I need your help with something.”Denis answered quickly. “What?” ~b~ asked readily. “I need you to help me find some place, Kelsey gave me a description but I can’t figure it out.”“Sure, I’ll grab my computer.” He said and ran back inside while Denis trailed after him with the same speed.Everyone turned to look at them when they burst through the door. “What’s going on?” Kate shrieked asking the question on everyone’s mind. “Kelsey reac

    His call didn’t last as long as Kelsey would have hoped which was forever. He was back in a few minutes and he returned to his initial position, only this time his knife was no longer with him. He had mindlessly dropped it when his phone rang a few minutes before, but he was still unaware that it was missing.“I can’t say this enough but I’m going to make you miserable.” Simon said and Kelsey sobbed, dabbing her tears with the back of her left hand and concealing the knife. She had stretched herself beyond her capacity trying to get the knife when Simon dropped it and she had succeeded and her it hurt a little below her belly. “I’m going to make you mine forever but I’m never going to love you.” His words were like stab wounds to Kelsey’s heart. Make her his?Over her dead body. “I’m going to put my seed inside of you and make you even more beautiful than you looked when he met you.
