Alpha Noah's Mate

Evelyn's POV:

Today, our Alpha's son is returning from the Pack University. Luna Sabrina has instructed us to tidy the palace, sweeping and cleaning everywhere.

It was around 6 am, and many maids were busy working in the palace as we eagerly anticipated Crown Prince Noah's return from the Pack University.

According to the circulating gossip, Prince Noah went to further his training to become the next Alpha of our pack-The Silvery Moon Pack.

Our pack is blessed with many beautiful werewolves, both rich and poor. I am a poor Omega, fair in complexion, with blonde hair and mesmerizing blue eyes.

It is rare to see she-wolves with blonde hair like mine, as most of us have brown or black fur. However, I was born differently, and many of my fellow she-wolves don't like me. They are jealous of me, always wanting to beat me or do things to make me sad.

While all the members of our pack have yellow eyes, the royal families have silver eyes, and I am the only she-wolf with blue eyes.

It is a rare genetic trait, and some of the she-wolves thought I didn't have a wolf. But after I turned fourteen, I met my wolf. As an Omega, I couldn't go to the forest alone to shift. I was scared; what if there was a big, bad wolf waiting there to devour me or tear me apart?

I had heard of cases where some she-wolves went into the forest to find their mate and ended up mating with some shameless male wolf. So because of this, I was afraid to go into the woods to shapeshift. My wolf is blue in color, while others are brown or black.

We have a lot of high houses and lower houses in our pack, and also group living. Most of the poorest Omegas who couldn't fend for themselves lived in the group houses.

What led me to work in the Alpha's mansion, also known as our royal palace, was that my parents were poor and could barely feed me or my siblings. I have four siblings: two twin brothers and two twin sisters. My younger twin brothers are Matt and Max, aged 10, while my younger twin sisters are Rebecca and Ruth, both 12 years old. They are in school at the Pack Academy.

Alpha King Wells Isaac is a very generous man. He built the Pack Academy and the Pack University too. He imported several cars, while some warriors still use horses for going to war with the out-pack or when there's a rogue attack at any of our borders.

We are indeed blessed with a wonderful pack and Alpha family. Alpha King Wells ensured every child in our pack goes to the Pack Academy to get a basic education, where we learned to read and write.

I also attended and graduated three years ago, after which I applied as a maid in the palace.

Queen Sabrina had initially refused me a job in the palace, but luckily, I was accepted by Alpha King Wells.

"Evelyn, what are you still doing there? Hurry up, Prince Noah's car is on the way!" I heard my friend, Becky Colt, shout so I wouldn't miss his homecoming.

I hadn't attended the Pack University as it was expensive. My parents were poor Omegas, so my dream of going to the Pack University to study medicine had been dashed.

I had to become a maid, and the only medicinal help I could offer was the ancestral remedies I learned from my mother, where I could wash herbs and mix them to cure different ailments for my fellow Omegas.

We were not as strong as the Alpha families that could heal on their own.

As the crown prince was returning today on a Saturday morning, there was a royal ball celebration in honor of his welcome.

Many she-wolves were going haywire to welcome him. I had to prepare myself too.

The time was past noon, and we had been anticipating Prince Noah's return. I wore my blue maid uniform, as it was mandatory under Queen Sabrina's command that every maid working in the mansion must wear a blue uniform to identify themselves.

I wasn't allowed to work inside the palace; my work was to sweep the palace field, clean the windows, and attend to the laundry outside that the other maids had brought.

For some unknown reason, Queen Sabrina hated me, so I had to obey her commands unless I wanted to lose my job.

As I walked out of my maid's room at the back of the royal mansion, I moved to the front to join the other maids in waiting to welcome our prince. The golden gate pulled open, and a black car arrived.

I felt shaky, as if I was going to collapse the next moment.

Feeling nervous, I inhaled the most delicious scent as I looked ahead at the open palace field, where a multitude of werewolves had gathered to welcome Crown Prince Noah.

Our elders were dressed in white garments, standing aside to show their respect. The pack's warriors stood aside, guarding the prince's car and preventing the excited werewolves from rushing to hug him.

Alpha King Wells, his wife, and children stood at the front of the palace mansion to welcome Prince Noah.

Prince William wore a noble white garment and seemed uninterested in his elder brother's return. Princess Bella stood with her best friend, Stella Braxton. Both were dressed in floor-length gowns.

"Welcome, Crown Prince Noah Isaac of the Silvery Moon Pack!" the king's assistant shouted, and all the happy werewolves bowed their heads to show their respect, as Prince Noah got out of his car, wearing a black shirt, black trousers, and black shoes.

He was very tall and masculine, with dark skin. His silver eyes searched the crowd as he waved happily to all the werewolves that had gathered in the palace field to welcome him.

I could feel my wolf fighting within me as I caught the masculine scent of chocolate, much like coffee, that hit my nostrils.

"Hmph, hmph!" I inhaled the chocolate scent once more. Prince Noah sniffed the air in my direction, his silver eyes landing on me, making me mutter, "Mate!"

The happy werewolves immediately quieted down as all eyes fell on me in shock, hearing me, the rare she-wolf of our pack, refer to the crown prince as my mate.
