Chapter Three

Alexander's POV

The thought of me not getting married to Sofia made me furious but the day had to go well with nothing going wrong. It was my chance to finally prove myself that I can handle the affairs of a pack and I am ready for it. 

I was quite excited when that omega didn't notice we were mates but I should have just used her right there to make sure they don't make me marry a substitute bride from the Ravenstone family. 

I was surprised when I saw the same lady who was in my bed yesterday staring at me like she's seen a ghost. Immediately I was crowned, I began greeting everyone around with my eyes not leaving her direction and she was definitely staring at me in surprise too. 

"Meet me on the balcony." I mind linked her immediately due to the access I have as an alpha and she definitely didn't have her link connection protected from outside voices. 

I walked to the balcony and in after a few minutes, she joined me on the balcony. "Don't tell me you're stalking me." I brought my palm to my face and she looked at me with a disgusted expression which was new for ladies. 

"I would rather spend my time on something better." She hissed which pissed me really but all I did was jam my hands in my pockets. 

"You're quite sharped mouth for an ordinary omega who would ekav herself for a stranger to have her." I mocked. "You're a disIsabel to the Ravenstone family and I wonder how someone like you gained access into the family. Or let me guess, you were adopted and given the life you have now so you being the young miss now that you're the only lady in the mansion, you think you can talk to anyone the way you like?"

She didn't say anything after that and I handed her a file which my bodyguard already dropped on the balcony before her arrival. "Sign the papers. We would definitely be getting engaged and I can't allow that after Sofia returns. So immediately she comes, we divorce." 

She picked the pen and file as she scanned through the content before signing. "I should take my leave now Alpha Alexander. I don't want to keep grandfather worried about me." She said like an obedient little puppy before walking away which really surprised me.

I picked the file and tossed it at my bodyguard before walking back into the hall and the first people I came across were the Ravenstone family.

"Alexander. It's nice to have you back in the pack. It's been quite a while son. You've grown so much." Old man Ravenstone said with a bright smile on his face and I squatted before him to give him a hug.

"It's good to be back grandfather." I said with a bright smile. "But it is quite disappointing that I didn't meet Sofia. I really looked forward to meeting her after my time away."

I could feel my heart sink deeper and deeper every time I said that name. It hurts so much that she would leave when I decided to come and take back the position for her to rule by myself. 

"No need to worry son." Madam Isabel said as she hugged me and patted my back gently. "Sofia will return soon. Maybe before your official marriage with Judy."

I looked at her who was standing behind Old man Ravenstone's wheelchair. "Lavender is a very sweet girl and I'm sure you will like her as soon as you get to know her more."

Lavender? That was Sofia's favourite flower when we were kids. I shook my head to get her thoughts back in their safe place tonight. I didn't want to be overwhelmed by her emotions. 

I've waited for over fifteen years to finally come back home to meet her and now she won't even wait till I come. She already escaped, with another man.

"Maybe you and Lavender should get to know each other more." Old man Ravenstone suggested but I knew I had to slip from the idea quickly.

"I still have some men to meet and I'm not sure it's a convenient time." I replied but Madam Isabel interfered and I knew nothing could be won again.

"Then both of you should meet during lunch tomorrow. I will be coming to have tea with Luna Quinn so it won't be a problem." She said and I reluctantly agreed but another thing caught my attention which immediately made me excuse myself from the Ravenstone family.

"Father." I walked over to Alpha Quinn who looked at me with a raised brow. "Did you invite Blood moon's alpha?" 

"You know it's a country wife ceremony, and it would be a bit weird not to invite even the enemies even though they might cause trouble." He said and I brought my palm to my face.

"Out of all men, not Jack father." I growled gently and he looked at me with a frown. 

"No matter what, he is still family. He is honouring you by visiting on the day of your coronation. It is part of every pack's rules not to cause trouble at a time like this so no need to worry about anything." 

"Now he's family when he isn't useless? You didn't see him as someone worthy right from the start and now he is?" I raised a brow with an unbelievable expression. 

"Don't start now Alexander. We are in a place with different visitors so know how to control yourself." He snarled and Luna Quinn walked over to us. I just turned to leave and the first person I ate my eyes on annoyed me to the core. 

"Why don't you want me here brother? Is there something I'm missing? Or is it because you're now an alpha and my pack can easily attack you more?"

Judy's POV

I charged at the wolf that was standing before me with all the speed I could summon in me but it was of no use. Before I could reach him, he already jumped at me and tackled me to the ground.

"That's enough." A voice called. "Miss Judy, you should train on your stamina more."

It was mu coach, Spencer. I sank to the floor defeated. All my classes, I never progressed. I was just too weak and useless.

"Aww, is someone feeling weak and useless again?" I heard the voice I didn't want to hear at all because I haven't gotten over her betrayal. 

"What is it that you want Ella?" I stood and turned to look at her. 

"Well, seems like you forget we have the same coach and you choose us the same time to meet Judy. Has your memory gone with your shattered heart?" She said mockingly and I tried my best not to clench my fist and hit her with it.

"How could you do that to me Ella?" I said to her with angry tears stinging my eyes. "I trusted you Ella. I thought you were my friend but all you did was take him from me and you know how much I love Morgan Ella."

"Well, last time I checked Judy, he isn't your property. He wouldn't settle for a low class like you who just luckily wandered into the Ravenstone family." She rolled her eyes. When i heard the same from Alexander the previous day, it did sting my heart badly but I had to swallow the pain it caused me. 

"I don't care if I had to sacrifice our friendship for anything because it is what I want before anything and I was Morgan, so I will have him. Deal with it. You might be the soon to be Luna but I'm telling you, once Alexander finds Sofia, you'll be as good as nothing. You'll see how worthless you are and why even Morgan easily left you for me." She said with a evil chuckle and it anhded me but I carried my bag and turned to leave.

"You won't let her go that easily would you?" I heard Alexander's voice and at first I thought it was a truck before he walked right to Ella with deadly glares in his eyes. "You can bully anyone you like, but not those under my watch. If this repeats itself, you and your father would find yourself out of this pack for good."

Alexander didn't even look back at me as he walked by me again. It was just like he was there to out her in her oakce and he just left like that, like he didn't even see me at all. 

A sigh escaped my lips as I was taken back to the mansion where all my stuffs were packed already and I had to prepare to leave for the pack mansion. 

"Do I seriously have to leave?" I asked grandfather as the guards arranged my things in the car. I didn't want to leave the Ravenstone family mansion not because of anything but my fear of how they would treat me when I get to the pack house. 

Alexander himself prefers Sofia and there's a great chance that everyone would view me as someone trying to steal Sofia's place. I also wanted to know what was goinon between the two because I've never seen them meet since I arrived at Silver Moon pack years back. 

"I know you're scared lavender but trust me, they'll treat you well, even than you imagined."

"This way ma'am." The butler said immediately I got out of the limousine in the pack house. "I'm Bruce, and I'll be taking you on a your in Alpha Alexander's quarters."

"Alpha Alexander asked me to strictly tell you to avoid his path as long s you're here because of reasons you might want to ask him about if you're chanced to do so." Bruce said and walked me round the whole quarters before taking me to the room i would be staying in. 

"This is your room ma'am. This is the door leading to Alpha Alexander's room from your room but I will advise you not to step into that door ma'am. This room was meant to be his lover's room but because Luna Quinn insisted, he agreed you stayed there." Bruce explained everything to me I'm detailed and I could already tell Alexander didn't want me at all. He didn't want anything to do with me. 

"Also, you will be having your meals in that garden ma'am, unless there is a family meal to eat together, you will go to the main quarter to eat." 

"Thank you very much for your explanation Bruce. I understand." I replied and he bowed his head in curtsey before walking towards the door. 

"Please ma, if you need anything, let us know." He said and I hummed before he closed the door before him. 

I looked around the whole room and it looked like it had just been renovated except from the pictures in the frame cupboard which was covered with glass so one could see from the outside. 

The first picture I saw made me even more curious about Alexander and Sofia. They were kids, not yet up to ten or already ten and Alexander was giving Sofia a piggyback and they both looked excited on the beach where they stood. 

I knew their relationship might be from childhood but I needed the full story. 

"Get away from the pictures." I heard a cold voice and I saw Alexander there at the door and I quickly stepped back. "This is your room whenever I'm not around but we share the same room because we're together. When it's night, come in. And don't touch anything in my room or those pictures. Don't even see them."
