Alexander's POV
Today is the first day of the trials and I have to fight against the alphas around my country. That would be easy for me but judging by the look on their faces, the smug looks directly aimed at me, I'd say these men have no idea what I'm capable off and it will be fun to see the shocked look on their faces.
They think I'm a product of the weak alpha and the weak pack, but oh how they are wrong. My pack is about to change shape, something nobody is ready for.
The easy part is fighting but the not so easy part is how every unmated shewolf in my pack thinks I'd pick one of them as my luna.
The number of times I have to chase a shewolf out of my bed since becoming alpha, one would've lost count by now but I haven't. 12 females have made it pretty clear they want to be my chosen mates but they don't know that's not how it works where I'm from.
We don't reject our mates, we can ve apart but the mate bond stays, growing stronger everytime.
Which makes it clear that there is no place in my heart for a luna and I don't see myself taking any of them or any woman for that matter to bed. I saved myself for my true mate and I will continue to do so, even though she is already mated.
I sound stupid but this is what I promised myself and I will not change myself because of how life worked out for me. This is just a challenge, testing of my patience and I know I am not much of a patient guy but for Sabrina, I'll do anything. For the love I truly want, I will wait. Patience is something I have always struggled with though, as my father's child and because of my social standing in this life, I have always had my way.
When I want something, I want it now.
"Thinking about Sabriiinnnna?" My brother jokes surprising me in my dressing room.
We were given rooms at the arena for all the alphas. A little room for every alpha's medic, beta and whoever he needs in the room to set up for whatever reason.
"Stop poking around in my head. Some thoughts are meant for me, just for me." I say before throwing a Jersey at him.
My brother, obviously catches it.
"So, I tracked you all the way here. Don't you have a pack to run? What are you doing at an arena and why do I smell a show of power going on here?" He asks.
"I'm fighting my way to be king. I have to fight alphas for that position and the strongest one, the one able to defeat all alphas wins." I say and he nods his head in understanding.
"Well that's an easy one. If they had to test on smarts, that's where you would definitely lose." My brother jokes. I growl at him and he chuckles.
I take off my shirt and dress pants, putting on black sweat pants. For fighting I like to stay shirtless and barefoot, claws out on all my limbs for effectiveness.
"What are you doing here anyway?" I ask my brother who has made himself comfortable in my room.
"Your true mate's ascension ball is coming up. Our family was invited, which took dad by surprise considering Hunter but I'm sure they are just following tradition. It looks like she has completed training and I was wondering if you'd want to make an appearance?" My brother says, wiggling his eyebrows at me.
"I'll think about it." I say before someone knocks on my door. It was time for the trials to begin.
"I'll come pick you up when it's time. Have fun big brother!" He says before leaving me alone in the room.
I open the door and walk out, making my way to where the fighting will take place. I don't need a medic for obvious reasons, I don't need my beta here because I need him to run the pack while I'm away and I work better alone anyway.
"Josey was right. She thought it was you, the new alpha." A familiar voice said and I turned around quickly to come face to face with my one true mate.
"Why are you doing this? It isn't fair to the other alphas." Sabrina says to me. I hear what she's saying but I'm too lost in her eyes to respond.
What do I say to the one woman that stays consuming my thoughts? To the one woman who has my wolf going crazy, begging me to run to her and make her ours.
"You mean it is not fair to your chosen mate to fight your true mate? Is it because of my obvious strength and the fact that he will be fighting me, where he stands no chance?" I ask smirking at her. My mind was going crazy just having her a few feet away from me.
Let's not even start with my wolf.
"I came to earth to learn the ways of an earthling because you see yourself as one so when the time comes and I finally get the chance to call you mine, I'll understand you perfectly. Me being king shouldn't stand in your way to live your own life." I say confidently.
Her eyes trail down my torso but quickly looks up. Her heart was beating too fast too, matching mine.
I feel so much better knowing I invoke such a reaction out of her, that she feels the pull just like I do and now I am certain her wolf wants to be taken by me.
Stubborn but it's alright, I can wait for her. I can't die now thanks to her. We have all the time in the world and the next.
"My mate would have to report to you. It's bad enough he is aware who you are to me, my wolf and what that means for him. Now he has to bow down to you?" Sabrina shouts out, in clear frustration and I just smile.
"Look, just like you, I am a god. Whether I become king, whether he bows down to me as king or not, I'm still above him in every way." I say, throwing a smirk her way.
I walk closer to her.
"I think it bothers you over everyone because of who I am to you and it shouldn't. It's not like your mate has to live under one roof with me and besides, I think my pack needs the win. They have been the weak pack for far too long and I can't stand by and watch them remain cowards, this is the push they need to strengthen the pack and fight for what's theirs. I won't be around forever and this is the best I can do for them, so I'm sorry but I'm winning this." I say before turning around and leaving her to think on what I just said to her.
"Why do you go by the name Alexander, Aiden?" Sabrina asks. I smile, she knew my real name which only means she's been asking about me.
I don't stop to answer her. To be honest, I don't even know why I chose to go by that name. Maybe I'm the crazy stalker who decided to choose a name that is almost her chosen mates name but I came to find out that women loved that name.
