Falling For The Secretive Alpha...

As I sit here day dreaming about my destined mate what he looks like, what he smells like, what his touch feels like against my skin.. I can't help but feel like I'll never find him. My friends Brooke and Cassie found their mates at the last mascarad ball. They happened just to be twin brothers. Which is so crazy because Brooke and cassie will become sister in laws.

The ball is tonight and I'm nervous. I get so anxious around people. Everyone from our pack and any pack in our alliance will be there. Even all the alphas.

My dad and mom met at the ball my dad told me that the first time their eyes met that they knew they where destined for each other. My dad was a guard for our alpha and my mom was from another pack she was adopted because she was abandoned at steps of a house from a pack called Clearmoon.

It's just me and my dad now my mom was murdered five years ago by a wolf that's all my dad would tell me he wouldn't go into specifics I think it's to painful for him.

Usually once your mate dies you lose half of yourself the world is dull and your alive but your life feels meaningless you're pretty much dead inside. He's here but I never see him smile or laugh he barely talks.

I walk downstairs to the living room where he's sitting watching the news.

"Hey Dad I'm going out with Brooke and Cassie so we can get dresses for the ball tonight do you need anything?"

Dad looks up at me " No hunny I'm fine have fun. Oh and just promise not to leave pack borders."

"I know dad I promise."

I walk outside just as Brooke and Cassie pull up and I get in the car.

"Which store are we going to?" I ask..

They look at each other then back at the road they stay silent for what felt like forever.

Cassie finally turns around "It's a new store just outside of pack borders called Dollies." She says.

I look around nervously ever since my mother's death I promised my dad I wouldn't leave pack borders. Not knowing weather it was a rouge or a member of a pack that killed my mother my dad's been so paranoid about leaving the border.

"My father made me promise that I wouldn't leave pack borders you two know that." I say.

Brooke looks up through the rearview mirror " I know Kyla!" She said "That's why we didn't tell you so you couldn't say no."

I look up to the rearview mirror Brooke still looking at me she can tell how annoyed I am with her.

"Well you didn't even notice that we are over the borders and in front of store.. we will be fast sorry for breaking your promise to your dad." Brooke says.

We all get out the shop is new but looks so unique and as we walk in the door we see dresses everywhere masks in glass cases. We all spread out looking for the perfect dress. Looking through dress after dress something catches my eye.

A gorgeous dark red dress hangs it's tight around the breast area and the torso my best features then it puffs out flowing endlessly with a silver mask with ruby looking jewels out lining the mask. I grab the dress and mask we pay and head back to my house to get ready.

We are ready after hours of doing hair and make up.

I decided to just curl my hair it's long brown strands reaching right above my hips. With ruby red lipstick and dark black mascara matching my bright blue eyes.

As we finish getting ready we head downstairs. Calling out to my dad telling him we are about to leave then he walks out of the kitchen his eyes sadden.

"Dad what's wrong?" I ask.

"You look just like your mother." He says his voice trying to not tremble. My eyes trying to hold back the tears I know are trying to escape.

Dad looks up realizing that I'm trying not to cry and says... "She would have loved to see you all grown up she would be so proud!"

As I start to say something he tells me to go and have fun so I start to head out getting into Brooke's car.

As we make it to the pack house it's looks so beautiful there's purple and blue lights flooding out of the windows and tons of guests all dressed up walking into the huge oak doors..

We start making our way in. The house is full some guest are dancing others sitting at tables eyeing everyone.

The Alphas all sit together on the highest part of the room so everyone can see who has all the power. Brooke and cassie mates already swiped them up so I was alone walking towards a table.

As I sit at the table I start looking around everyone's dancing and having fun. Scanning through the people looking for anyone to dance with.

Then my eyes meet with a man I've never seen before which means he's from one of the other packs.

I start feeling hot my sex pulsing I could smell him from the other side of the room. My body acheing for his touch. As soon as the feelings hit I knew what this mean't he was mate.

Staring at me he keeps walking pretending he didn't feel what I felt. Looking at me he rolls his eyes. He then turns around headed towards the alpha tables this can't be real! He must be a guard going to talk to his alpha, but surprising enough he sits down.

No wonder why he looked the way he did he's a alpha. No alpha wants a mate that isn't any important part of pack leadership. He's disappointed he's going to reject me.

I take my mask off feeling faint. This can't be happening... I need to leave, I need to run. I can't be mated to an alpha.
