The Alpha King's True Mate

I had just finished signing the last paperwork that was due. I was so tired from working all day. I sat back on my chair thinking of the next pack to form an alliance with.

" Alpha the documents you requested regarding Alburne pack is ready. Do you want me to point out the details of their proposal for next week?"

"Yeah you do that" I yawned, stretching my neck. Just then, Jake my Gamma walked in with a cup of coffee "Looks like someone just discovered a new level of dark under eye shadows". My wolf growled but I just rolled my eyes. I was too tired to argue, I sipped the coffee and sighed.

"So when are we going to Alburne pack for the meeting?" Matt my Beta asked. Jake smirked, all through the journey of forming alliance and peaceful agreements with different packs, he had made sure to flirt with as many girls as possible.

Matt sighed "You know I can't wait for you to find your mate, your flirting with girls will finally come to an end". Jake snickered "You're so boring Matt. When you find your mate she'll be bored of you, not to worry I'll keep her company when she comes to me". He winked at Matt. Matt growled, his wolf on the edge threatening to come out "Easy there just a light joke hehe" Jake said still teasing Matt.

I was so tired, all I wanted to do was rest and here they were bickering and adding to my stress. "Both of you get out now!" I said using my Alpha tone. They both got serious and quickly walked out the door. I sighed and drifted off.

I woke up to my phone ringing, I smiled when I saw the name on the screen. "Hey Mum" I said feeling guilty, knowing I hadn't visited home in a while. "Would you look at that Lucas, our son is still alive and breathing and he still remembers my name". I just knew the sarcasm was coming, I could hear Dad laugh gently in the background. "Mum I'm really-" I started to say. "I don't want to hear it, you're coming home for dinner and that's final" The call ended before I could even reply.

I got up and walked to the elevator. The top floor of the packhouse was my private quarters that only I had access to. I got into the elevator and saw Olivia. One of the pack members, her Dad and my Dad are close friends so they often come over for dinner. I was never really close to her, she was always with my sister when they visited us so they became close friends. She confessed her feelings to me two years ago but I abruptly turned her down. My sister had given me an earful and Ignored me for over a week.

"Alpha" she greeted, I gave her a nod. While pressing the button on the elevator. "I didn't see you at my birthday party last week" I suddenly had to think of something. "I was on a business meeting" I replied. "Chloe said you were feeling sick" I was trying to come up with a backup excuse when the elevator opened. We got in the elevator. "Do I get a birthday gift then?" She asked, I was wondering why the elevator was taking so long to stop. Before I could give a reply, she started to say "I was wondering if we could hang out?" I sighed knowing I would get it from my sister. "No Olivia, I can't, so whatever twisted fantasy you think might happen between us is never going to happen" I felt bad almost immediately "Oh" She said quietly. Just then the elevator door opened "Bye" I said and walked out to my floor.

I got to my room and showered, I came out from the bathroom with a slight throbbing in my head. I thought about how I talked to Olivia and felt bad. She wasn't like the other girls that tried to force themselves on me. I had probably hurt her feelings but it had to be done. I got dressed and hurried down to my car, I picked out the black porsche and drove to my family's house, I knew better than to be late for dinner.

I heard the familiar sound of the doorbell as I pressed the button and smelled my mother's food, my stomach rumbled just as the door opened to an angry faced Chloe. The last thing I needed was for my sister to be mad at me too. I braced myself thinking of how to get through dinner.

"Ahh finally there he is my precious son" My Dad hugged me, at least someone was happy to see me I thought. My Mum stared at me and I watched her facial expression go from anger to happiness to worry. "A hug Mum?" I watched her walk into my embrace. "Oh my baby! You look so stressed. Have you been eating well?" I rolled my eyes "Yes Mum I'm fine, just a little bit stressed" I said sitting at the dining table. "Not like you don't deserve it". Chloe muttered.

I didn't want my sister to be mad at me. "Coco? Can we talk?" I watched as she stood up reluctantly and we walked towards the lounge area. "You have two minutes" She said. "Look I know you're mad about the way I talked to Olivia, I feel bad but I had to do it because I don't have feelings for her, you know her mate is her best option". She looked at me with disbelief "Of course I know her mate is her best option but you didn't have to talk to her that way, you could've turned her down nicely she's my friend". The conversation wasn't going as I had planned. "Fine, I'm sorry". She looked at me "Tell that to Olivia, let's have dinner".

"So Leo, when do you plan on going to Alburne pack?" My Dad asked while we were eating. He had always hoped I would find my mate when visiting other packs. "Yes Leo, when are you going? I hope you find your mate! I didn't keep those baby pictures for nothing" Mum said sounding eager.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, I don't want you guys to keep your hope up, when I find my mate, I'm going to reject her" I said, It seemed like a long period of silence. "What is wrong with you? You're unbelievable right now, your mate is probably out there hoping to find her mate, not knowing you're already going to reject her before getting to know her" Chloe looked at me shocked. "Why?" Mum asked after sometime "I don't want a weakness and having a mate is one" Dad was quiet the whole time. When he's quiet he's very angry. Dad walked out of the dining quietly, Chloe walked out too. "I can't even look at you right now" Mum said angrily and left.

I left the house feeling angry, it was my choice if I wanted to reject my mate. I was doing it for my pack and it was my job as an Alpha. I was not going have a mate that would be a weakness to me and make me lag behind on my duties as an Alpha. Tomorrow my Beta and Gamma would accompany me to Alburne pack to finalize the alliance between our packs. I was going to make Moon Pack stronger than ever and a mate wouldn't spoil my plans.
