Alpha Adryan
thirteen

The day of the Mating Ball seemed to arrive sooner than Jade had initially thought. She could feel the shift in the air around her. Excitement and anticipation lingered in the air as the pack members prepared for the Mate Ball.

For the past three days, She could feel them rushing back and forth, carrying decorations and props needed for decorating the Ballroom for today's event.

Their excitement was contagious as she herself felt excited about the event, maybe it's because she had never been able to attend the event ever before in all her twenty years of existence.

It was a full moon today, with the moon at its peak, brighter and more visible than ever in the sky. The shimmering globe gold moon among the twinkling stars that littered the night sky.

Full moon took place once every month. It was often said that it was moons own way of connecting with its children.

Werewolf senses heightened ten folds during the full moon, they felt lust and rage, every possible emotion at its best. Full moon gave power to the wolf's soul, making it stronger, faster and agile creatures.

It was as if the nature too knew what day it was, the chilly wind escaped the wooden boundaries of her bedroom window and nipped at her skin as she stood before Violet, wearing the ball gown Violet had apparently brought her for the evening.

"Holy shit" Violet's eyes widen as she takes in Jade's clothed figure in, her words make Jade anxious about her appearance.

"I bet Adryan wouldn't be able to keep his eyes off of you" she mumbles lowly as she stared at Jade.

She was proud of herself for picking out the dress, it complimented Jade's beautiful features, scratch that..Jade complimented the dress with her looks.

"Is everything okay? How do I look?" Jade asks for Violet's opinion. "Damn girl, if I was a man I'd definitely ask you out right away" Violet's compliment made Jade giggle a bit, cheeks turning rosy at the same time at her flattering words.

When Violet had first seen the dress while shopping, her mind had immediately wondered how good Jade would look in the dress. She couldn't help herself from buying the dress right away without a second thought.

Now still staring at Jade's figure, she knew she was absolutely right. The dress was a light pastel peachey coloured mermaid dress with a sweetheart neckline, the dress was sleeveless with a single thin flower shoulder strap which also went travelled the side of the shoulder.

Jade's slightly tanned creamy skin complimented the skin just the right way.

The top half of the dress stuck to Jade's bosom and stomach snugly, the sweetheart neckline exposed the top and side curves of her cleavage. Teasing the onlooking eyes a bit with the slight exposure of skin.

Flower patches of peach, light pink, white and light teal colour along with patches of leafs adorned the top half of the dress, spreading out throught out bosom ress like a wine climbing up the wall. The dress puffed out flaring rest of the way, untill it touched the floor.

It was beautiful indeed.

Who ever had crafted the dress, definitely took his or her sweet time on it.

Jade's hair was done into an updo with the front hairs twisted loosely on both sides, small butterfly clips pinned into them, while the baby hairs framed her face.

Her eyelashes were coated with mascara, eyes painted a light pink shade and lips painted a peachy pink complimenting her rosy cheeks. She was wearing peach coloured heels which she had worn after numerous pleading from Violet's part.

Violet was herself wearing a simple black dress with a v cut infront. With her makeup done similar to Jade's except her lips were painted a dark red color.

"Come on, the party has already started" Violet takes Jade's hands in hers, both of them were going together since Brian, Violet's mate was to report earlier along with Adryan since they had a meeting with an Alpha of the neighbouring pack before the Mating Ball.

Violet felt herself getting more anxious as they walked together towards the Ballroom where the event took place.

"Well fuck me, I'd like to tap that ass someday" Alpha Connor speaks up suddenly from his seated position on the bar, along with the rest of them.

Adryan had just formed an alliance with the man, he was the Alpha of the Wood Creek Pack in the south. They had vast lands and resources Adryan knew would come in handy one day.

Otherwise the man had a vile personality. He had a reputation of sleeping around a lot with the she - wolves, mated and unmated alike. He was twenty one years old, young and dumb as they come.

They were sat around the bar that was situated at one side of the ballroom after finalizing their deal. Alpha Connor, his beta Dean along with Adryan and his beta, Brian had joined for a “celebratory’ drink as Alpha Connor has worded it.

Setting his glass of vodka down onto the bar counter, Alpha Connor's words manage to catch Adryan's attention. Since his back was facing the entrance to the Ballroom he couldn't see what Alpha Connor was staring at, or at whom precisely.

Turning his head around, his eyes move along the crowd and finally settles on to the figure that just entered the room.

His breath seemed to stop for a moment when he takes her whole figure in. She looked ethereal in her flowing gown. Without a doubt, his mate had his undivided attention, she was the most beautiful woman he had laid his eyes on undoubtedly.

She looked seraphic dressed in her sleeveless Ball gown, with her hair up exposing her collarbone, the dress also managed to expose her cleavage which made him curse lowly under his breath.

Did she want these hormonal males to go after her like a dog would go after the bone?!.

His nails dig into his fisted palms as he realised that she was the one about whom Alpha Connor was talking out.

"Who is she?" Alpha Connor asks after watching Jade move about the room with Violet.

She was a beauty, and he'd be damned if he didn't get a taste of her. Adryan's jaw clenches as his eyes switches from Jade's figure to Alpha Connor in anger. His wolf, Vince kept nagging at his mental wall, wanting to come out and end this sleazy bastard who was after their mate for good.

Brian immediately felt the shift in the air as he felt his Alpha's anger rise ten folds. He shakes his head mentally at Alpha Connor, seemed like the guy had a death wish or something.

Brian knew that if he himself didn't intervene now, it wasn't going to be pretty for any of them. When Adryan got mad it wasn't the normal anger, it was what people usually like to say as “hot red searing anger that makes you see red". Stopping Adryan would take more than ten of their best warriors atleast.

"She's our newest member, and she has a mate.” Brian decides to speak up instead. He knew Adryan was in no way going to reply to Alpha Connor's question, he was probably thinking about ways to murder this vile Alpha.

Alpha Connor's brown eyes meet Brian's blue one’s. He seemed to thing about something.

"When has that ever stopped me?!" Alpha Connor retorts back, his lips turned up into an arrogant smirk.

That almost made Adryan reach over to the man, and rip his throat out with his bare hands instead be leaned over to where Alpha Connor sat, his face a cold canvas to the eyes.

"Listen here you sleazy bastard, this is my pack and in my pack, adultery with mated she wolves is considered a crime. By all means do what ever the hell you want to, but don't think for a second that I wouldn't hesitate to declare a war among our packs” Adryan pauses, with a devious smile on his face "and we all know whose gonna win it anyways." He pats Alpha Connor's shoulder, pretending to brush away imaginary dust from his jacket.

Fear envelopes Alpha Connor immediately, Everyone knew that Alpha Adryan didn't throw around empty threats. He kept his words, promises and threats alike. That was one of the main reason the other power hungry Alpha’s all around the world hesitated in attacking and claiming Adryan's territory like they did to the others.

The reason behind them closing the deal was also an issue, he had been wanting to close this deal for a few years, and it was only now that Adryan Romano had agreed on an alliance after years of Connor's persistence.

Alpha Connor's pack, The Wood Creek Pack was low on warriors, their pack mostly consisted of elders, children and healers. If anyone were to attack them right now, it would be a piece of cake for them.

Brian smirks as he watched a flustered Alpha Connor fix the collar of his shirt, shifting with unease on his seat.

Adryan was pleased with the outcome, he had gotten his point across. Now, if he still decided to go against Adryan's words, his whole pack wouldn't be alive to see the next day.
