Alex stood behind Jace as he held his hand trying to avoid eye contact with the other beta wolfs Jace was talking with.
The men that stood were all taller and buffer than Alex’s build who was a bit chubby with being only 5’9 while his mate Jace who was 6’6 was as equally tall as the other wolves.
Jace noticed Alex being scared as he hid him behind while he continued talking about guarding the area. Alex nervously looked around as Jace tightened his grip to calm him down.
“Yes, just make sure to guard the other gates and if you smell any witch that isn’t familiar just don’t let them in since the humans who are mated with the prince could get in danger” Jace spoke sternly as the wolfs saluted while they walked away leaving Jace and Alex.
“Babyboy, why so scared of them? They are our guards and they won’t hurt you” Jace spoke softly as he bent down to his mate’s level while he set his hair.
“I know Jace but they are so tall that they scare me” Alex spoke as he bit his bottom lip while he stared at all the tall wolves and vampires since he felt small.
“Do I scare you? I am equally as tall as all the warriors and guards.” Jace questioned as he didn’t like the fact his mate being scared of the wolves that were like a family to him.
“No silly, you don’t scare me because you are my mate” Alex giggled out as he hugged Jace’s arm who chuckled at his mate’s cuteness.
“Well, my baby boy those guys are like my family since I know them when I was little. Their parents were my parent’s warriors and now they are mine so stop being scared.” Jace explained as Alex pouted while he let go of his mate’s arm.
“But-” Alex spoke as Jace shook his head while he cut him off by pulling him towards himself. Jace wrapped his arm around Alex’s body as he buried his face in the crook of Alex’s neck as he took his scent in.
“No buts baby, you are their luna and they rather die than hurt you” Jace whispered in Alex’s ear as his face turned red in embarrassment.
“O-Okay” Alex stuttered out embarrassed as Jace smiled kissing his mate’s cheek while he spoke “That’s my cute little mate” making Alex shy.
Jace let Alex go as he noticed his sister. “I will go talk to my little sister wanna join?” Jace questioned as Alex opened his mouth to speak when his stomach growled making Jace chuckle.
“Go grab something to eat first” Jace laughed out making Alex giggle while he nodded his head and jogged away towards the food table where he took a bowl of cheese macaroni as he sat on the floor in a corner hiding from all the crowd.
Alex hummed a melody as he took a bite while he moaned as he loved how it tasted beside it was one of his favorite food. Alex ate happily as he saw three girls walk towards the food table as they looked quite familiar to him.
“Those humans would pay” One of the girls spoke as Alex heard them clearly since he was hidden and they didn’t know anyone was there.
“Yeah, I heard the boys will be proposing to the girls like humans do since it’s one of the things vampires do if their mates are vampires” The other girl spoke as Alex bit his bottom lip.
“I am sure the girls don’t know anything that would be happening today so why not yell they need rings too and embarrass them while the whole kingdom watches them” The third girl spoke as Alex lost his apatite while he crawled away making sure not to be seen by the girls.
Alex noticed he was far away as he quickly jogged towards the girls since he knew this might happen. He remembered quite well how Jace’s fans did to him and embarrassed him while he cried for days but Jace handled the situation.
Alex didn’t want anyone going through the same embarrassment he went through so without telling anyone except Victoria and Elena as he made a plan because he knew that they would understand the situation better than others.
Alex quickly jogged towards the royal sofa where he noticed Juliet, Ronin, Alyssa, and Loukas sitting as he stopped to catch his breath since he was an omega, he didn’t have much strength as all the alpha, beta, or other rankings in the wolf kingdom.
Alex bent down as he was now breathing heavily. “Hey, you okay Alexander?” Loukas questioned as he used his full name out of concern.
Loukas stood up taking a sealed water bottle and giving it to Alex who hummed while he quickly opened the bottle was, he drank it.
“Jace is busy with his sister so can I borrow Alyssa and Juliet for few minutes please” Alex smiled trying to hide the fact of what he heard since he didn’t want the surprise, Loukas, Draco and Ronin were planning to be ruined. Loukas saw Ronin who shrugged as they saw Alex pleading so they nodded their heads.
“Yeah, sure besides we need to talk to our parents anyway so just take care of them for us” Loukas spoke as Alex nodded his head while Alyssa saw Loukas walking away with Ronin.
“We need to find Luna as soon as possible” Alex spoke as he started to walk quickly all worried while Alyssa and Juliet followed him behind all confused.
“Alex, what’s wrong?” Alyssa questioned as Juliet almost tripped making Alex giggle so he held her hand smiling which made Alyssa smile to see how caring he was towards them.
“I saw some girls talking about trashing this mating ball and I can’t tell you because it will ruin the surprise that the boys prepared for you” Alex explained a bit which made Alyssa all worried when she saw Luna talking with Draco while she was pulling his tie.
“Brother Draco” Alex yelled interrupting as Draco turned around looking at Alex, Alyssa, and Juliet who smiled at him.
“Whatcha doing here?” Draco questioned as he pulled Alex and wrapped his arm around his shoulder which he didn’t mind at all since he was close with him the most.
“Brother Draco your brothers are with uncle and auntie discussing the thing we talked about” Alex spoke as Draco hummed understandingly.
“Alie, I am leaving Luna in your care” Draco spoke as he kissed the crown of Luna’s head while he waved at them all and walked away.
“Everything okay?” Luna questioned as Juliet shook her head while they all walked back to the sofa.
“Alex saw some girls talking about trashing this mating ball and Alex can’t tell us because it will ruin the surprise that the boys prepared for us” Juliet spoke all sadly making Luna sigh...
Alex could tell the girls were disturbed especially Luna as he had heard what had happened to her in the human world so that is why Draco had assigned Alex to be close with Luna to make her feel wanted and treasured.
“I knew something like this would happen” Luna groaned as she sat on the sofa with Alex next to her. Juliet sat with Alyssa who was equally worried as her sisters and Alex.
“Okay, I kind of predicted this would happen like I was like 50 percent sure since something like this happened in Jace’s sister mating time and even mine so I already prepared everything cause I knew anything could happen” Alex spoke as he stood up and walked to the table where he picked three small bags that he prepared with Victoria and Elena.
He walked back as he sat on the sofa and gave one bag to each. “Did I give you guys the right ones?” Alex questioned as Juliet saw her name on the bag so she nodded her head.
“Great now open this when I give you the signal too so for now keep this with you and I am sure no one will notice since it’s so small,” Alex spoke as Luna kept hers in her clutch shrugging.
“Oh yeah I can do that too” Alyssa giggled out as she kept her bag inside the clutch while Juliet did the same as well.
The boys walked back as Alyssa noticed Loukas so she stood up and went to sit with Loukas happily while Ronin sat with Juliet. Alex stood up as he sat with Jace who smiled at Draco.
