Alpha Adryan
twelve

Adryan was sitting in his office when he had smelled her scent, the scent of strawberries overpowered his strong wolf senses. It was coming from the direction of the hallway.

Violet had asked Jade to meet her in her room, which was a floor below the one Jade was currently staying in.

Her mind wandered towards Adryan unconsciously, she hadn't realized that she was thinking about him.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, a hands shoots out of nowhere, circling around her waist as they pulled her towards their chest.

Tingles rose all around both of their body as their skins came in contact with each other.

Jade was too surprised to react at first.

“Wha-" she speaks up but gets cut off by Adryan's loud voice.

“What the fuck were you thinking ? Do you have a fucking death wish or something? Because you were about to take a tumble down the fucking stairs and break your fucking neck and spinal cord into two" his deep voice snaps loudly, his incessant use of the word “fucking’ made her cringe.

“I - 1 was thinking about someone” she says

She realized her mistake a second too later when she felt Adryan's grip on her waist tighten considerately.

Adryan's mind almost immediately went towards that Delta of his. The one Jade had gone out on a date with. His mind flares up in rage as he thinks about them together and even worse that mutt being on his mates mind.

“What? Couldn't get that night out of your mind princess?“Adryan’s lips quirk up on one side in a smirk. Taunting her, when suddenly that nights events hit him.

His question made her gasp in shock, she didn't think he would bring that up. It had almost been a good two weeks, and she had thought he would forget about it with time and plus he seemed busy with his Alpha duties, she wasn't expecting this.

Adryan's smirk widens when he sees her reaction to his words.

Leaning forwards so that his lips were near her ear, he whispers into her ears seductively.

“Don't worry, I couldn't get the feeling of your body against mine out of my mind" his nose trials the side of her neck in a slow motion, sparks igniting her whole body at his action.

“I need to go” she immediately steps back from his hold, and for some weird reason he lets her go too. She immediately scurries away from his figure. This time she was careful while she descended the steps, careful not to break her neck.

"Finally you are here" these were Violet's first words the moment Jade had stepped into her room. Violet helped her guide into her room. The room smelled of apples, Violet's scent and citrus which Jade guessed was Brian scent, the Beta and Violet's mate.

Violet's takes in Jades appearance, she appeared to be flustered a bit. "Did anything happen? Did that bitch Lucia do or say anything to

you?" Violet asks her with a scrunch of her brows.

Violet was enraged when she had heard about the things Lucia said to Violet. She wanted to tear that she-wolves fake extensions off her head. "No, I — I just seemed to forget the directions to your room, so I

had asked Malia for the directions" Jade lies, she felt bad for lying,

but she didn’t want to reveal the piece of information where she had been with Adryan.

Violet just replies with an “okay’, but still felt suspicious of Jade's fidgety actions, but didn't question her about it.

"Okay, so do you know anything about the Mating Ball?"

"Uh- yeah I do. Why?" Jade asks confused.

"Well, it's going to be held at our pack this year. And guess what? It's the next month." Violet speaks up, her voice dripping with excitement. The Mating Ball was conducted every year, it was a tradition that had been going on for hundreds of years. Mating Ball was held for the sole purpose of helping newly shifted wolves find their soul

mates, chosen mates for the rejected ones.

Werewolves shift into their wolves at the age of sixteen, where one can be able to recognize his or her mate with touch, scent etc.

Rejected wolves could mate with each other willingly, or even with those whose mate that unfortunately passed away.

Every wolf looked forward to this Ball. It was one of the main event of the year. Packs from all across the globe attended this Ball.

From ranks that of Omega's to Alphas, this ball had every single member of a pack.

Even the mated couples attended this ceremony, including toddlers and children, teenagers etc.

There was no exception. It was some sort of reunion of sort for the werewolf population.

Over the years, the Ball also helped form connections between two packs, forming alliances among each other as such.

"Why is it being conducted here this year?" Jade asks with confusion. "Because our pack has the biggest Ballroom of all, silly. And for the past five years it had been conducted in our pack.”

"Oh" Jade didn't know this piece of information since she had never attended the Mating Ball ever, also one of the reason why Adryan never found her earlier and plus Jade was twenty whereas Adryan

was twenty-five. She was nine years too late.

"You didn't know it, did you?" Violet questions her when she sees Jade's lack of response.

Jade shakes her head in a no.

"Well, I had picked up a dress for you when we visited the mall last week. I can't wait to dress you up.” Violet squeals excitedly.

Being a Beta female, other she wolf's in the pack were afraid of Violet. Also, she didn't get along with some of them since they'd try to hit on her mate occasionally which made her wolf and herself mad.

Ever since Jade had arrived six months ago, Violet was able to form a strong bond of friendship with her, and she was thankful for her,

also now that Violet has someone to play dress up with.

About a week ago Violet and Jade had

gone out shopping for Jade, since she only had casual clothing with her and nothing fancy. Violet had forced her to visit almost every shop she could find and try on millions on pieces of dresses. Jade was exhausted by the end of their shopping adventure but Violet's happiness made it worth it.

Jade was excited as well as nervous for the Mating Ball.
