Alpha s Stubborn Mate

(Alessia)

“Come on, Alessia, we are going to be late!” My twin sister shouted at me, I rolled my eyes and started to hop as I tried to get my shoes on without sitting down. I huffed out in annoyance, It's not my fault that we will be late in the first place.

“Why didn't you just leave without me? I can't believe that I woke up so late. Goddess, I am still exhausted.” I replied, trying my best to hurry.

“Well, it's partially my fault. I shouldn't have dragged you to that party knowing that the ceremony is today, and you shouldn't have allowed me to take you there. Everyone is probably there, already.” She made it sound as if she didn't care. Rolling my eyes, I was finally able to put my shoes on. Nodding my head, I grabbed her arm and hurriedly made my way downstairs. I stopped in my tracks when I noticed that my parents were still here, I thought that they would have left by now.

“It's a ceremony we are attending, Alessia, not the damn supermarket.” Mom said, as she took a good look at what I was wearing.

“Leave her alone, Sonya. It's only jeans. You know that she doesn't like dresses, unlike Anya, who is always so fashionable.” Dad said while giving me two thumbs up. He winked at me and nodded his head in approval, letting me know that it was alright for me to wear whatever I wanted. Smiling, I made my way over to him and gave him a hug. He chuckled as he returned it.

“Enough with the sappiness already. Let's go. You girls are eighteen years old already, so I hope that you find your mates there. I just pray that it will be someone from the higher ranked wolves.” There was never a win, whenever it came to Mom. She wanted things to be perfect. The perfect family, the perfect daughters. She's a bit annoying, but I love her regardless.

“And what if I am mated to an Omega?” I asked, wanting to know exactly where I stood. She only laughed and wiped away the fake tears from her eyes.

“You're so funny dear, just like your uncle, may his soul rest in peace. Now, let's go. We can't afford to waste any more time. I would have been there already, but Paul wanted me to wait for you two.” That's good to know; we got in the car and made our way towards the castle. The one belonging to Alpha King Nicholas Pierce.

I have heard stories about him, but I have never seen him in person. No one has, I felt sorry for whoever his mate is, knowing for a fact that if the stories that I heard about him were true, it's definitely going to be a rough ride.

His father had decided that it was time to hand the title over to him, but at the same time, the ceremony also stood another purpose, and that's to find your mate.

Unmated wolves from all over the world would attend, hoping to find their other half. I, on the other hand, couldn't care less about that. If I find my mate, then that's it. I don't even think I can stand being in a relationship.

I would like to explore my sexuality, but being werewolves, you are only tied to one person and one person only. That sucks, yes, but it's something that I had to deal with.

“We are here, come on, hurry.” Mom said as the car came to a halt. I got out, and Anya instantly latches unto my arm, making me pout.

“Personal space.” I reminded her, but she only rolled her eyes and pulled me along with her. When we got to the gate, two buff looking guys were there, searching those who were already there waiting to get in and asking questions. I growled at myself, not liking this at all.

“IDs and bags.” One of the men said. I handed him my bag after I showed him my ID. He started to rummage through my things, making me wish that I could take it from him. I already organized the items in my bag, I hated it when people went through my things, but this was important, so I didn’t have any say in it.
