Chapter 1.
Helena Pov.
Watching the palace bustling with excitement and joy, with the moon casting a warm glow over Alpha Derek's mansion, I couldn't help but feel left out.
The excessive mansion had so many rooms that it felt like a maze, the Grand ballroom we currently stood in could easily fit an entire football stadium.
The mansion in general was a stunning sight to behold, with its towering columns, sweeping staircase and numerous balconies overlooking the rolling hills.
It was adorned with, intricate architecture, elegant chandeliers and ornate furnishings exuded an air of sophistication that left visitors in awe.
Today was not an ordinary day, Alpha Derek the leader of Dark Moon pack was turning 21. In our world, twenty one was the marking point in an alpha's life when he truly becomes the head of the pack and the day he receives his mate from the moon goddess.
The fate of the pack rested on whoever his mate would be, as always she has to be strong and ferocious. Commanding respect amongst all her kind. His parents had ruled from the sides while they let him practice being an Alpha.
The shadows were my only place of safety, the moment I step into the light it ended in shame and embarrassments. And sometimes punishment from pack members who felt they were superior than others.
Being the offspring of an omega and a human, I was bound from birth to be an outcast. I have been satisfied with that identity for years, doing whatever was required of me.
I wasn't ugly, I was considered beautiful with my sweeping eyelashes that most ladies in the pack envied. My tapered waist was so slim, giving my body a shapely figure.
But all that means nothing in a pack where hierarchy mattered.
"To our, Alpha!" Jax, one of Derek's close friends yelled amidst the loud music, drawing out feats of cheers from the crowd.
The man in question sat with a bored look, absently sipping a wine. His smooth Spade shaped beard, brought out his porcelain skin. His viking blonde hair made him look like a Greek god in the making.
His friends surrounded him but he didn't look happy, his sharp eyes had a flicker of curiosity as they pierced through the crowd as if he was searching for something, for a connection.
"Greetings, my lovely pack members." Alpha Gray, Derek's father hushes the crowd to silence, his voice filled with power and authority.
"As you know, my son Derek is officially taking his Alpha position today." He announced, a cheer erupting from the crowd. "We are pleased to know that one of our female wolves here would be my son's mate. Derek, come forward. Scan the crowd, find her."
I held my breath, watching him gulp as his gaze took a long sweep through the room. His stark blue eyes called out to me, my wolf rising from her slumber.
Desperate ladies drawled out his name as he walked through the clearing. His hands were tucked nonchalantly in his pockets.
When his gaze landed on mine, I felt everything around me slowly fade into back grow noise.
From afar, his scent of pinewood and the familiar masculine muskiness filled my nose and awakened my senses.
Why was he staring at me that way? Everyone trailed his gaze till they landed one, my heart pounded against my chest as I prayed for the grown to open and take me in.
Disgust was etched on all their faces, I wasn't supposed to be here. I am an outcast of the pack, and probably an obstruction in Derek's mating ceremony.
"What is she doing here?"
"Her scent is so disgusting!"
"I wish I could scar her face for life!"
I was on my feet ready to leave, their words pricked my heart and pierced deep in my soul. Not until Derek walked closer and said the words I could have sworn I would never hear.
"Mate."
"What?!" Jax jumped in beside his friend, confused. "Man, are you buzzed? Look at the filthy thing you are calling your mate."
He kept silent and my heart pounded, my wolf was released and I felt it. The pull and connection between us as his gaze filled me with heat, washing away all their words. My focus was on him.
"I am not buzzed, Jaxon." He gritted out. "And I know what I am saying, she is my mate."
"What ? No!" Luna Rose jumped in, checking her son like he was not normal. "You can't mate with this outcast, she is not fit to be your Luna. Reject her and choose someone else."
He shook his head, and stared at me calmly. "I can't. She'd die, and I do not want that. Who I mate is none of your business, I am the Alpha now! Helena, let's go."
I couldn't help the shock that had me frozen, Derek had just proclaimed me as his mate in front of the all pack. His unreadable expression slipped, a frown creased his forehead.
"Helena, did you hear me?" I could hear a slight bit of impatience. Everyone watched with eagerness in their eyes, they would never accept me as their Luna.
Derek took my hand, pulling me away from the crowd and chaos. My heart pounded with confusion, fear and a growing heat between my legs as his large hands held mine.
It was happening, I am his mate. A position I have never thought i would acquire. For once in my life I felt a sense of hope and excitement flow through my veins.
No one would step on me any longer. But my psycho father would see this as an opportunity for a power grab.
"Why didn't you reject me?" I began rambling as he kept on walking. "You know my name, my position and my rank here. I am sure I am not your ideal choice for a mate."
He paused, drawing his gaze to me. "Yes you aren't. I know everyone in my pack, that's how I know you. But tonight- the moon goddess has fated us both together, it's a bond I can't reject."
My heart softened at his speech. I have finally found my place, acceptance from my mate. At the corner of my mind I had always had a glimmer of hope that my mate would come for me.
Here he was. His hold on my hands softened as we reached his private chambers. His commanding eyes and composed aura softened, flames of desire filled his gaze as my heat was activated.
He cupped my face with his hard palms. "Cancel all doubts, Lena. You are mate and we are in this together."
I nodded, a gasp falling from my lips when he kissed me slowly and passionately. His touch on my body was soft, as if he was worshiping every inch of my body.
"You're mine, Helena." He growled. "I don't care what anyone thinks, I am not giving you up."
I knew that, but I said nothing. My doubts were buried somewhere deep in my memory. It felt like a dream, Alpha Derek marking me as his mate.
Our clothing was soon spilled away, his dark gaze of desire resting on me. He entered me with a single thrust, a cry of pleasure tearing out from my lips.
I have had sex before but none like the way Derek fucked me right now, moans of pleasure escaped my mind. When we've both reached our climax, we stayed in the embrace of each other basking in the bond we shared.
