Alpha King Vincent

"Welcome, Alpha Xander! I am glad you came, the invitation was a bit urgent and in my opinion, not all the alphas would be able to make it on time."

The following day came and I am blessed with the presence of the young Alpha from the West. It has been many months since I last saw him and so much has changed in his aura. His posture became more defined, his presence is noticeable and I am sure that he does his training every day based on his body growth. I have to recall that he is only eleven years old and has to be accompanied by my trusted warriors until he turns eighteen. But he carries himself well like an adult.

"I am happy to be back here Alpha King Vincent, I did not make it on time due to my intense training. But I want you to be aware of my full support under your rule as the Alpha King of all the wolves, congratulations!"

I signaled for all his companions to sit down after both of us shake hands and find our sits. I admire his confidence in every word he speaks, at such a young age he is determined.

"How is your training? I assume your hands are full studying and working out most of the time. Your beta must stay in charge of all the hard work while you study so that you can focus and develop well."

His eyes meet mine and I can see the strength he possesses as an Alpha. If given a chance, he could be a possible Alpha King in the next five years of his training. However, that is out of the question now that the crown is above my head and he will only get a chance if the capable members of my family fail to ascend the throne.

"I am grateful for all the support Alpha King."

He bows his head to me but I groan in protest. "It is my job now Alpha Xander."

I tap his shoulders to keep him at ease just when we are both startled by the door that bursts open and the wrinkled face of Alpha Zero appeared.

"Alpha King Vincent! I need your help!"

I jump to my feet while Alpha Xander stays seated in surprise.

"What is the matter Alpha Zero?"

My uncle looks on the edge of life and death as he leaps forward and glances at Alpha Xander before answering my question.

"Your aunt, she Uhm, she is in labor and we are not even seven months pregnant!"

He walks back and forth while I had my eyes widen in surprise and then he looks at Xander who meets my gaze as well.

"How could this happen? Have you notified Maleficus?"

"Yes! He is in our chambers, I couldn't bear to just stay there and watch doing nothing. My mate is having hard labor she is losing a lot of blood. Maleficus asks me to start looking for a blood match to donate to her, or else. She, would not survive the labor."

My eyes went wide open I look at him up and down, so his blood is not a match for aunt Jasmin. Some rare cases like this may occur but most of the time mates blood are the same.

"Have you asked my father? If there is a blood match it would be the relatives. And I am willing to donate to her if I could."

"That's the problem Alpha King Vincent, your father is not a match either!"

His hand went up to his head and then he looks at his watch and again pace back and forth to the door. I need to help him.

"Then let us go and see if I am a match Alpha Zero, then I promise you, I would let my aunt take as much blood as she needed from me."

Alpha Xander cleared his throat and I hear him talk. "Alpha Zero, good day to you. May I suggest that you can also ask the warriors who are with me to get their blood tests for a possible match?"

Alpha Zero looks at the young alpha with a surprised expression on his face. "Are you certain Alpha Xander? For I will go and check them now, there is no time to waste. I am waiting for the confirmation of the blood tests from my warriors as well but so far it is negative."

I grab Alpha Zero's shoulder and encourage him. "Do what you have to Alpha Zero I am going to see Maleficus now and see if my aunt and I are of the same blood type."

He nodded and then walk out of the door first before Alpha Xander get up from the chair. "I can take the blood test too, maybe there is a chance that I could help Alpha Zero's Luna."

The young Alpha stood beside me and is ready to come with me to Maleficus. I nodded my head, there is no time to waste. The situation requires immediate action and if Alpha Xander is a match then we are all grateful for the chance.

We walk faster than normal as I can smell the blood of my Aunt in the air, I could already tell which room they took her. In the private room where Maleficus does his research a door is close and the warriors are outside standing. My father is there too, sitting at a long couch. He looks at me and Alpha Xander.

"Welcome Alpha Xander of the West, I apologize for not being their to meet you but I guess you know now that an emergency has come to my attention."

Alpha Xander shook his hands as my father stand up from his seat and acknowledge him. I quickly search Maleficus in the mind link to let him know that I am here so he can check if my blood is a match. However, the doors have opened and Maleficus came out looking at me.

"Alpha King Vincent, thank you so much for coming and Alpha Xander."

He bows to me and acknowledges the presence of Alpha Xander. I held out my hand and then the old man hold it, close his eyes and then open again after a few seconds.

"You are not a match Alpha King Vincent. I am very much surprised to have discovered this but Princess Jasmin, your Aunt has a rare blood that mixed in her veins which makes it difficult to find a match. An ancient blood possess by your family's ancestors."

My gaze went passed Maleficus and meet my father who is taking in a deep breath. First, Carmela is injured and is still not waking up even though she is already safe. And now my Aunt which is in labor. My head is beginning to throb, I wanted to mind link Ashley but I don't want her to get worried. These problems are mine now, I need to find a better solution.

"Can you check if my blood is a match, Maleficus? I am willing to help in any way I can. Alpha Zero can also check the warriors from the West and see if anyone is possible."

Both me and Maleficus look at Alpha Xander who held himself confidently despite being young. There is no sign of cowardliness or hesitation in his words. My father's lips curved in a tiny smile as Maleficus step closer to Alpha Xander.

"Thank you Alpha Xander, you are indeed grown so fast that I thought your age is way passed eighteen. However, your strength is that of an adult now and your Alpha blood have taken over."

Alpha Xander held out is hand as I stayed silent and watch what is the old man's verdict. My father is watching too. Both of us is praying that maybe Alpha Xander is a match, I know he is descended from an ancient wolf blood in the West. A strong Alpha genes and blood runs through his veins.

When Maleficus hold his hand and then close his eyes, I held my breath and gritted my teeth in anticipation. It took few seconds and then the old man open his eyes again, a loud gasp escapes his throat and then he took the other hand of Alpha Xander before closing his eyes again and then his loud voice came out.

"Oh thanks be into the Moon Goddess! Alpha Xander of the West is a perfect match!"

The warriors standing in front of the bedroom doors howled in triumph while I took a stride and stood beside Alpha Xander and Maleficus.

"I am informing Alpha Zero now, so he can come back and help you do the process."

The female pack doctors which are assisting my aunt inside the room begin to mind link Maleficus for the good news. So I called for Alpha Zero's attention in the mind link to let him know that a match is already here.
