Chapter 2

Mia's POV

Gavin arrives in the company of his officials, cheers and delighted murmuring among the girls start, and all eyes are on him despite the numerous Alphas present. He looks so much like the Alpha King among them, if an Alpha King were to be chosen, from among them, it would surely be him.

Due to the large crowd, I had to strain my neck just to accomplish my wish, here my eyes collided with Leila, I didn't even realize that she had been near me all this while. She smirks, I know what's going on in her mind right now, but I choose to ignore it. I keep on staring at the Alpha, so tormented by his beauty that I lose consciousness of what's happening at the ceremony. All I wish for in my life now is to get a mate who will be fine as this Alpha, someone who would save me from the daily agony I face being in my family. A mate will shower me with all the love I need, we will create a new family and forget about this current one which is causing me so much pain.

I'm lost in my thoughts, forgetting about what's going on around me until a deep, wild berry scent mixed with almond and olive comes through my nose, still thinking, I didn't give my attention to it, not until a deep, harsh voice scared me off balance. I stagger, almost falling.

"Are you the one?" A deep, sexy voice, rich in nature and thrilling looms over me. I raise my head from the ground I was staring at while lost in thought. My heart begins to thump so fast with the body frame beside me who has swallowed me up in height, body size, and beauty, with his blue charming eyes which seem like they would make me melt. My legs begin to shake as I feel the charming, overpowering aura of the personality beside me. It's purely like a dream that I'm caught in, without redemption.

"Are you…sure. it's me, Alpha?" I stammer. I didn't expect someone like me would be fated to such a demi-god, an angelic prince living among us. His presence alone commands authority and attraction. All eyes are on us right now. His appearance and the aura surrounding him intimidates me I would say, but for good. I have never come across a man this sexy and handsome, he's even more charming than he appears to me in the Tabloids and journals.

"Yes, you are the girl I've been waiting for all my life. What's your name?" He asks.

"Mia," I put forth my response with all politeness.

"Mia! Wow, what a nice name." He pulls me closer to himself and sinks his lips into mine, breaking away all the strongholds and discipline I had created for myself, his kiss happens to be my very first, so mind-blowing it has to be in the public under the watchful eyes of everyone. I don't care either, I'm soaked into this world Gavin has placed me into, with the butterflies in my stomach and bubbles sparkling in my head. I close my eyes, stretching myself to be on the same level as his height as I initiate the kiss this time, the touch of our lips and tongues with this wild scent of his ravages my entire being. In this world we are in, it's only him and I, no one exists.

The more we continue to kiss, the more the electricity sparks across my veins, our bodies are pulled closer and I can even feel his bulge pointing hard against my groin region. I'm melting right now, if not for him holding my waist, I would fall with weakness from passion and not rise because my legs are weak.

With him in his arms, I feel warmth and safety. But still, I doubt if this is a dream or reality. So I'm finally gonna leave this pack and my family for good? No more humiliations. I can't believe it! Slowly I wrap my hands around him, holding him tight and not wanting to let go of him.

I can hear whispering from the crowd of girls, if not that I'm with him, I would fear being stoned. I know that most of them here set their hearts on Alpha Gavin, that's the whole truth but right now, it turned out to be me, I'm the target of jealousy. I remember my stepsisters, they are here too and would carry the news to my dad, thank God I came, who cares to return to say goodbye before leaving?

Gavin pulls out a little bit, slowly, I grunt. I don't want to pull away but it's like one of his men tapped him, hoping to say something to him. How dare he do that? As I hear Gavin discussing with his men how they would return to Sullivan Pack right away, my heart beats with joy. I don't see the need for delay, nor do I see the need to say goodbye to anyone. I have no one who loves me here, who cares about their love right now when I have someone who would make me feel safe and secure. Gavin is all I ever needed.

"Wouldn't you mind returning with me right away, I don't see the need to say goodbye to anyone?" I smile as Gavin repeats the same thing I had in mind. His eyes collide with mine, causing me to blush and slightly look away, but still, I feel the heavy effect. His eyes are killing me, making my legs weak but I would rather grow weak with passion than strong from lack of love.

His wolf must have told him of what I passed through in this pack and my family. We haven't met before, neither does he know me before now yet he is saying the same thing I was speaking to myself a few minutes ago.

"Hmm," I sigh in relief. I nod to what he just said.
