lphas Second Choice novel Chapter 37

Chapter11

Alpha King Julian’s POV

Let me start by introducing myself.

I’m Julian Wexler–the Alpha King, ruler of all werewolves.

I’m 21 years old, naturally tanned, with eyes as blue as the ocean–eyes my mother insists my mate will

never be able to resist.

Yes, I’m still very much a Mama’s boy.

I’m bi–racial–my mother is white, my father is Black.

I’ve been waiting eagerly to meet my second chance mate, the one chosen for me by the Moon Goddess.

My parents, the former King and Queen, encouraged me to visit the pack of their closest friends, Alpha

Dorian and Luna Camilla.

Tonight marks a significant event–their triplets are turning 18 and will shift for the first time. And, finally, their daughter Skyla has agreed to come Skyla’s POV

Heads were turning, jaws dropping.

Yeah, I know–I look damn good in this dress, and I’m absolutely owning it.

Neither Selene nor Cassian has shown up for the shifting ceremony yet. They’re probably off somewhere

getting it on.

I step outside, needing a breath of fresh air.

I’m truly happy for my brother and all my friends… so why couldn’t I have a mate like theirs?

Just as that thought crossed my mind, a chill ran down my spine. My breath caught when I felt a hand slide

across the small of my back and a voice whispered in my ear, “My beautiful mate.”

Disgusted, I spun around and slapped him hard.

“Don’t ever touch me again,” I snarled. “Next time, I’ll rip your damn hand off.”

He had the audacity to claim I was his mate and insisted he had the right to touch me.

I looked him dead in the eye and said, “I will never be yours.”

This fool–still reeking of my sister’s scent–had the nerve to ask me to forgive him and take him back. Said if he’d known I was this fine, he never would’ve rejected “a piece of ass” like me.

Disgusted, I turned and walked back into the woods, ignoring his shouts and pathetic promises to win me

back.

I flipped him the middle finger and yelled over my shoulder, “NEVER!“–a smug smirk spreading across my

face as I returned to the party.

Once back among the trees, I spotted my skanky sister. She was wearing a dress that left absolutely nothing to the imagination. Her makeup was ruined, and tears streaked down her face.

Turns out she’d just discovered her fated mate was one of our warriors, Zayden.

But she’d rejected him.

Why? Because Cassian told her that if she slept with him, he’d make her his chosen Luna.

Only, now he’s told her the truth–he lied.

Selene tried to go crawling back to Zayden, but he’d already found his second–chance mate.

And not just anyone–his new mate is the only daughter of a visiting Alpha, which makes him the future

Alpha of the Newmoon Pack.

My sister tried to attack his mate, but Zayden stepped between them, protecting what was his.

Honestly? My bratty, spoiled sister got exactly what she deserved.

Just as the moment drew near for us to shift into our wolves, my father stepped forward to make an

announcement.

He said we had a surprise visitor. That he’d been holding back a message from the Moon Goddess until the

time was right.

According to the message, this wolf is someone of great importance–he’s a Golden Wolf.

And even more shocking? His mate is also a Golden Wolf and his second chance–together, they would be the most powerful mated pair in the entire world.

Selene perked up instantly. “I just know it’s me,” she said smugly. “So screw you, Zayden and Cassian.”

Then she turned to me and hissed, “Skyla, I’ve always been jealous of you. That’s why I treated you like crap. But now? You’ll be the one jealous of me, because I’m going to be powerful.”

to the palace to help train our female warriors.

The last time I saw Skyla, she was just 16. Even then, she was stunning, though she tried to hide it.

If she turned out to be my mate, I would be over the moon.

Her sister, Selene, on the other hand, threw herself at me back then. I quickly shut that down.

I don’t waste time with girls like her. I’ve always saved myself for my mate.

Right now, I’m pacing quietly as I wait for Alpha Dorian to announce my presence.

Inside my head, my wolf, Rig, is restless–chanting “Mate, Mate, Mate… Mate is here!”

“Calm down, Rig. You’re giving me a headache,” I mutter.

He whines in return, “I want our mate.”

I tell him I do too, but we have to be patient.

Tonight, along with the triplets, Alpha Mason’s children–his son, the future Alpha, and his daughter–will also go through their first shift.

The transformations will begin at 11:12 and continue until they’re all complete.

A werewolf’s power is often reflected in the color of their wolf.

As the Alpha King, I possess the ability to link minds with all wolves.

It’s 10:30 p.m. when Alpha Dorian links me, letting me know it’s time to make my entrance.

I give myself a final glance in the mirror.

In my tailored navy–blue suit, black Balenciagas, and a gleaming Rolex–I have to admit, I look sharp.

Tonight, I’ll meet my mate. Please let it be Skyla.

As I enter the room, all eyes turn to me.

Two gasps cut through the silence as my eyes widen.

I say, “Mate,” and before I can react, Selene leaps into my arms, kissing me and shouting that she’s the Alpha King’s mate.

I immediately push her off and onto the floor, my gaze shifting to Skyla–tears welling in her eyes.

I walk straight to her, take her into my arms, and kiss her deeply.

“Mate,” I say, just as she echoes, “Mate,” with a smile lighting up her face.

Skyla… She’s mine.

I lean in close to my beautiful mate and whisper, “I finally found you. I already love you.”

With a playful wink, she whispers back, “I love you too, my King… and my secret crush.”

My heart swells with warmth.

My Queen loves me back.

Behind us, Selene is shrieking, “This isn’t fair! How can that ugly bitch be your mate? I’m so much better than

her. I hate her!”
