The Alpha's Bride

1040  Alpha Violet (1)

Five years passed…

Violet was checking herself in the mirror. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, and her icy-blue eyes stood out on her objectively attractive face that was a mix of the best parts her parents gave her (per her father).

Violet loved how soft her ceremonial clothes felt against her body. It was a simple dark-brown leather two-piece outfit that covered her chest and a skirt, but the intricate embroidery of silver thread made it look stylish.

She spent the last five years training and studying, and both Midnight Guardians and Dark Howlers pack accepted her as the next Alpha. She also had a good relationship with witches and other packs that were allied in the so-called Werewolf Coalition of North America.

Violet was working closely with her parents and she was a capable warrior, skilled in wielding her God-like powers, and familiar with the pack management. The only thing pending for her to step into her role of leading the packs was the ceremony to make it official, but Talia and Damon agreed it shouldn't be rushed. They wanted Violet to enjoy her youth and hopefully find her mate before taking in the role that will consume her completely. After all, this was more than managing two packs; the stability of the relationship between creatures would be depending on Violet's leadership.

Violet glanced out the window to see the Moon rising. It was the first full Moon in the calendar year, known as the Wolf Moon. Shaman Gideon recommended that Violet takes the lead of this pack run, as it's her first Wolf Moon since she turned of age. It was important.

Every full moon Damon and Talia would lead a pack run for their packs that were joined, yet still kept their independence. This included the branch of the Frostcrest pack that lived in the territory of the Dark Howlers pack and was following Commander George and Dawn as their Alpha and Luna, and they all submitted to Damon and Talia.

Each pack run was a massive event where wolves that came of age would participate in. Some wanted to prove themselves and rise in the ranks, some were looking for mates, and some came for the party filled with carnal pleasures that would usually happen after the run. The last part was a hit for unmated wolves.

"Don't be nervous. You will do great," Talia said. She was standing on the side in a matching outfit and admiring her daughter. Talia had around her neck a necklace made of teeth, it was a necklace Damon made out of creatures he hunted, and he gave it to Talia as a symbol that everything he has was hers.

"I'm not nervous about the run," Violet said. She was back to looking outside. Her room was facing the garden where the crowd started gathering more than an hour ago.

The chatter was getting louder and there were two big bonfires.

"Are you nervous about finding your mate?"

Violet snapped to look at Talia. "Will I meet him tonight?"

Talia smiled and bobbed her head. "It's up to the Moon Goddess."

Violet made a face. She didn't like the Moon Goddess nonsense or that Talia knew who Violet's mate was, yet she kept mum about it.

Violet's eighteenth birthday was five months ago, yet she didn't find him. But if Talia knew about him, that meant Violet met him, right? RIGHT!?

"If he is down there now, should I feel him?" Violet asked.

"That depends on the strength of your bond. If you are not ready, even if he is right in front of you, you won't sense him."

"And if I am ready?"

Talia smiled. "Then you can sense him from a great distance. Your wolf will help you."

"She will?"

"It will be like an invisible pull to the place you need to be. His scent will draw you in, and the touch will come with sparks that will confirm he is your mate."

Violet thought how that was romantic.

Who could be her mate?

Violet still had hopes that it might be Ethan. After all, they grew up together and were close.

Their interaction dwindled once he started high school in the human city, and instead of returning home last year and focusing on his upcoming Alpha role, he decided to go to college.

Alpha Maddox was against it, but Luna Tatiana said that a few years won't make a difference.

Ethan was proud to get a sports scholarship. He was the best football player in his school, and it was a big prestigious school that only rich kids could attend. Violet told him it was cheating, but Ethan said he was using what mother nature gave him and there was nothing wrong with that.

Due to Ethan's classes and practice, he didn't visit for prolonged periods of time, and when he was not busy with school, his parents would send him for training because he was not paying attention to his future-Alpha duties.

Violet and Ethan kept in touch with messages and video calls, but the last time they saw each other in person was nearly a year ago.

Violet had a chance to visit him, but she chickened out. Seeing him after she came of age would mean confirming if they were mates. If they were, everything would change forever, and if they weren't… what then?

And what if her mate was out there, right now, in that crowd? Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Fɪre

The noise from the door burst Violet's bubble and she turned to see triplets coming in, wearing matching ceremonial clothes. Those were Scarlet, Page, and Robin, Beta's daughters. Those three were now stunning brunettes, skilled in work that required managing the pack and tracking individuals by scent and by electronic means. Three sisters spent one year in a high-tech camp where they learned ins and outs of anything electronic-related that's connected to the internet or cellular network.

Scarlet, Page, and Robin didn't know if Violet will pick them as her Betas when the time comes for Violet to take over her role as the Alpha officially, but they were confident that their skills secured them indispensable high-ranking roles in the pack.

Violet looked at the triplets who were visibly excited.

"Ready?" Violet asked.

Three sisters nodded at the same time.

Scarlet glanced at Talia. "Do you think that we will find out mates tonight?" Their mom told them about Malia (aka Talia's mating service). What started as a rumor became an unconfirmed fact because every unmated person of age would find their mate as long as they stuck close to Alpha Natalia.

Violet turned eighteen years old five moons ago, but this was the first pack run for the triplets whose eighteenth birthday was just one week ago.

Talia smiled at the triplets who looked at her eagerly. "I will leave you girls to chat. You have ten minutes."

"Mom!" Violet called. "If the pack doesn't follow me…"

"They will," Talia interrupted Violet. "Have confidence. You are not an official Alpha, but they all accept you as the next in line. Focus on leading the way after the ceremony is over. If any pack member doubts you, they will change their minds once they see your family supporting you."
