First Love Of The Alpha
Chapter 16

Amber’s POV

I took Brodys hand and headed to the beach. He stopped me abruptly and turned me to face him.

I wasn’t planning on telling my brother like that. just kind of ended up that way.

Brody didn’t look happy.

“Did you really have to tell him now and at a bar?”

“Brody, there was never going to be a right time. At least this way, he had Lily in his arms. He wasn’t going to do much.”

“You can either sit here and pout, or you can shut up and help me find a place to make out. We’ve waited long enough.”

” Least now we don’t have to keep hiding it.”

Brody grabbed my hand, and we started walking towards the beach again.

We took a few steps when i noticed a group of guys , Brody sniffed the air, “wolves, keep walking, Amber.”

I looked up, and I swear I saw Ben standing his eyes, looking directly at the bar.

I tripped over a stick but caught myself before I fell. When I looked back, everyone was sitting around the fire and no sign of Ben.

I must have imagined it . He’s still supposed to be at Alpha School for another month.

I pushed the thought in the back of my mind and continued to walk with my mate.

Ben’s POV

We got a free night at Alpha School with graduation so close. We even have the next day off.

We all packed in cars, trying to take as few as we could.

When we got to Lenny’s, it was still pretty empty, a hundred people or so.

We headed towards the outside of the dance floor. There were wooden benches around a built in fire place. We took up nearly all the fire pits they had.

Most of the guys got beers, but I went straight for the whiskey.

We were ready to let loose after two years of being on a tight schedule and up at 4am. every day.

Within an hour, the place started to fill up. Everyone was dancing and drinking.

I stayed back, not really wanting to dance, much to Louise’s disappointment.

My wolf was pacing and breathing heavy, it was really starting to give me a headache.

I thought it was because Louise kept touching me tonight. She couldn’t keep her hands off me.

Least at school, she kept it modest in front of other people. Right now, she was just relentless .

At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. I mean, surely it couldn’t be her. What would she be doing this far from the pack.

She only left the pack for school. She was such a homebody.

This girl, no woman was curvy in all the right places, her tanned legs on display and showing way too much cleavage.

I tucked the feeling back, realizing it couldn’t be her, Lily would never wear anything so revealing.

I giggled when I saw the cowgirl boots. Yeah, definitely not my Lily.

That woman was definitely one of the most stunning women I’ve ever seen, though. Even my wolf was intrigued.

But then I saw him taller and more muscular, but his face hadn’t changed much, Myles.

My wolf growled.

I watched them for a while, not knowing what to do or how to react.

She didn’t look like the pictures that were posted, or maybe they just didn’t do her justice.

She danced so carefree and happy, not caring who was watching her.

They were dancing to some upbeat summer song. I didn’t know the name of it, but when she squealed and laughed when Myles would dip her, I instantly knew it was Lily.

I would recognize that laughing anywhere.

Part of me wanted to run up and put her in my arms, but I couldn’t get my body to move.

I couldn’t stop staring, I think I’m just trying to process everything. I’m not sure how much time went by .

When a slow song came on, i knew it well, Lily’s mom would play it all the time at their cottage.

“Strawberry wine”

Myles brought Lily close, putting his forehead to hers. She placed her hands behind his neck and rubbed his hair.

I shot up from my seat.

Lucky enough for me, none of my friends were paying that much attention to me till now.

Axel, one of the other alphas from school, just looked at me like I was crazy or drunk.

Axel, one of the other alphas from school, just looked at me like I was crazy or drunk.

I took a few steps closer, leaving enough distance so they couldn’t see me.

Her scent was strong, I knew I would have to lock eyes with her to know if we were mates.

But I’m not sure if I want to know.

I could see Lily singing the lyrics to Myles and him singing back to her.

I couldn’t believe how much she had changed. She never acted that way with me so easily.

When I saw them k**s my wolf about took over.

I had to get out of here before I shifted. It was taking everything I had to hold Hunter back.

I headed to the front of the bar and decided to walk back to school, I couldn’t be here any longer

I couldn’t watch my childhood friend be wrapped around the girl I once loved or still loved, I didn’t know in the moment.

I couldn’t shake it. She was so different, not that sixteen year old I once knew.

She looked good, though. I don’t think I’m going to be able to take the image of her in that purple dress out of my mind.

I about drooling just picturing her cleavage from a distance, I wonder what it looked like up close.

I calmed down after I got a few miles from the bar.

I quickly panicked when i realized I forgot Louise. She’s going to kill me. I didn’t even tell her I was leaving.

She disappeared after I refused to dance with her. She asked nearly ten times.

I just figured she went off with the other alpha females.

I really was a d**k to her.

I grabbed my cell out of pocket and dialed her number. She didn’t answer me the first time I called. I called four more times when she finally picked up.

I figured she was pissed but her voice sounded low, like she was in pain.

I apologized on repeat, but she seemed distracted and acted like she didn’t care. Just assured me she would get back to school fine, and she hung up.

That was weird. She never let’s me off the hook that easily.

Louise’s POV

Man, I was really getting sick of Ben’s s**t. In the last few months his been acting strange, moody, and distant.

I dont even understand what got his panties in such a bunch.

I wasn’t used to fighting for a man’s attention like this.

When my father told me he was interested in me and that we would be combining are two packs together, I was ecstatic .

I couldn’t believe I would be Luna to one of the largest packs in the world, and to top it off, Ben was yummy.

All the girls from the old pack were going to be so jealous. They already were for my looks, but this would put them all in their place to respect and serve me.

I finally lost it bit when Ben refused to dance with me. He shot me down in front of the other alphas.

I was mortified. Few of the female alphas snickered.

I was bragging about our relationship and our future, and then Ben goes and does stupid s**t like that to make it look like he’s not even interested in our relationship or me.

I walked away and headed towards the bar. One way or another, I was going to get a drink right this second.

I took a seat on one of the barstools when I got a strong smell of hot chocolate. I was being drawn toward it.

I turned around, and four feet away, I locked eyes with the most beautiful set of gray eyes.

We both instantly said, mate.

He scooped me up in his arms before I had any time to react.

Sparks shooting through my body, where he touched me.

I started to panic. I was going to be luna of one of the largest packs. This can’t be happening.

I asked him if he wanted to go on a walk to find out a little about each other.

We headed towards the beach and got at a steady pace of walking the shoreline.

“So what’s your name?”

“Conner Joe Moore , and you?”

“Louise May Parker.”

Axel, one of the other alphas from school, just looked at me like I was crazy or drunk.

“Is your dad Richard Parker? As in alpha of the eclipse pack?”

“Yes, yes he is.”

“Your pack is located near mine, black moon pack.”

My stomach turned a bit. He was from Ben’s pack but clearly, not a high ranked member. I met Ben’s beta Landyn already at school.

Landyn stayed back, not wanting anything to do with us “drunken idiots.” He doesn’t have much patience for anything.

What was the moon goddess thinking? The likelihood of you finding your fated mate was slim, but she just had to pair me with an omega.

I could have gone my whole life without ever finding him, and once you’re marked by your chosen mate, your bond is broken with your fated, and then you never find them

“I’m really sorry for doing this.”

“But I Louise May Parker of the eclipse pack reject you Conner Joe Moore of the Black moon pack.”

I saw him bend over in pain. I had to walk away.

My wolf Lorlei whimpered. “I hope you know what you’re doing ” was all she said.

I ended up puking next to the lifeguard station that we had passed on our walk.

I kept hearing my phone buzz and saw it was Ben. I had four missed calls.

I cheered up a bit, realizing he must have been worried about me.

When I answered the phone, he apologized for leaving me here.

I didn’t have it in me to deal with this.

I was an afterthought. He was miles away before he even thought to call.

I hurried off the phone and went back to the bar to find a group that was ready to head back to school.

I knew rejecting my mate was the right thing. He wasn’t a ranked member.

I remember Ben telling me his gamma started something with an M, Mikey maybe, or Myles something like that.

But I was starting to have doubts about Ben, if I could even be happy with him.

I know I would never live without anything I wanted, and I would be Luna of one of the largest and strongest packs.

Why couldn’t the moon goddess just have made me fated mates with Ben? Things would be so much easier, or even Landyn.

He’s the more reserved and stoic type, but at least ways a ranked member.

I knew Ben wasn’t in love with me, I could tell he was caught up on someone else.

Lily, I think her name was. I’ve heard him and Landyn mention her a few times, thinking they were being discreet.

I shrugged it off because for a year, he treated me really well, and we had s*x nearly every day.

Here lately, he avoided even being alone with me.

Im just not sure what’s changed, and I guess it doesn’t really matter. I was going to be his Luna in the end.

Conners POV

She rejected me just like that, but I didn’t even find out my status or anything.

I may not be a ranked member, but my dad was one of the top warriors, along with Brodys dad. We both were taking in their footsteps.

Man, that hurt like a b***h.

She walked away and didn’t even give me an explanation or a chance to accept her rejection.

She acted like it didn’t even hurt her.

If she could be so nasty about a rejection, I knew she wouldn’t of been a good mate.

But man, those sparks were something when I touched her. Not like anything I felt before.

What sucks is I had just turned nineteen, I could of gone years with out finding my fated mate, if finding her at all and I was okay with that. I wasn’t ready to settle down, but when I saw her all those feelings and fears went away I would of done anything for her.

Stupid mate bond, maybe Myles and Lily have the right idea, they have no idea if there fated mates but yet they’re so in love with eachother, a perfect fit, they didn’t need the mate bond to feel that way about eachother.

But Myles has been in love with her for years even before Ben left, I think everyone knew but him.

I may come across as a player but deep down I wanted what they had. It just seemed to come so easily for them.
