Chapter 34 - Her Second Chance Alpha

When I opened the door to my office, I was astonished, to say the least, at who I saw standing there. The Alpha King and Luna Queen were standing there in my office. My eyes have to be seeing things wrong, there is absolutely no way, I think to myself as I continue staring at the pair that is standing in front of me.

Knight is also stunned into silence as he stares at them as they both approach me. I manage to finally snap out of my daze and I bow my head to the King and Queen in respect. Even though I would not bow to any other Alpha in my own territory, we all do to the Alpha King as he is the Alpha of all Alphas.

"My apologies your highness. I just was not expecting you to be the representative that would be coming for the ceremony ." I said as I extended my hand. "I am honored to have you both here."

"Freaky huh?" Eric says suddenly through a mindlink.

He is not wrong. I was shocked to have the werewolf King and Queen standing in my office, but my shock was only intensified when my gaze landed on the Luna Queen.

She looks so much like Holly, like Holly was a younger copy of the Luna Queen. The resemblance is uncanny. They have the same body type, hair color and their facial features look exactly the same. The only difference is the eye color, where the Luna Queens eyes are a soft brown, Holly's are a Blue Grey color.

"I know it is not customary for us to attend Luna ceremonies ourselves but we thought we should make an exception for this one." The Alpha King says as he looks down at his Luna.

Remembering my manners, I motioned for them to have a seat in the sitting area of my office.

Once everyone is settled, the King turns to me and asks, "Alpha Jason, do you happen to know of the tragedy that happened almost twenty-one years ago?" his face holds a seriousness as he waits for my response.

"Yes sir, I have heard the story. Someone managed to get into the royal pack and kidnapped the newborn princess. My father was Alpha at the time and the warriors were sent out to search for any trace of the child." I say as my anxiety starts to rise higher.

"There is no way" Knight says, but continues to listen.

I really take in both the Alpha King and Queen's appearance. There is no denying that there are some similarities between them and Holly. But could she really be the long lost royal pup?

The King nods his head to confirm that what I had been told was correct.

"I had just given birth the day before, our daughter had just finished nursing and I laid her down in her bassinet. I stepped into the shower for only a moment and when I came out she was gone. There was no trace of her, there were no other scents in the room beside ours, and it seemed hers had now vanished as well." The Luna stated as her eyes misted over and a few stray tears slid down her cheeks.

The King takes over for his Luna then, "Your father and the warriors were never able to find any type of evidence as to who had taken our pup. For the longest, we had assumed that she was no longer alive. That is until your mate's blood sample came to our pack lab."

"You are saying Holly is the long lost p-princess?" I asked, shuddering slightly over the last word.

"It appears so." The Alpha King says, nodding, a smile growing on his face even though tears slip from his eyes as well now. I can feel all the color draining from my body.

"When any sample comes to our lab, we do a DNA analysis as well. We started it after our pup was taken, praying to the Goddess that we might find her one day. And she has finally granted our prayer finally." The King says as the Luna continues to silently sob into her handkerchief.

The king pulls out a folded piece of paper and the king hands it to me. Unfolding it, I see that it is the DNA results. At the bottom, it shows the percentage for each mother and father of the child. Paternity 99.9 percent, Maternity 99.9 percent.

"Holy sh*t" Knight commented in my head, "Mate is the Princess." His tail wags from side to side now.

"This is why they ran her sample again and still have not called with the results yet?" I asked them, causing a small smile to cross his face.

"You would be correct. We wanted to be positive that it was not a fluke and we thought that hearing it in person would be better than over the phone."

Leaning back in my seat, a sigh escapes me. Wow, what are the odds that my mate, My Holly would be the lost princess.

"Is there anything you can tell us about her?" The Luna Queen asked, finally able to dry her tears for a moment. Her eyes still shine from her tears.

"I think it would be best to hear everything from her. I would say she did not have the best life. Some thing's she is not even ready to open up to me about yet." I tell them, both nodding in understanding.

"If you don't mind my asking, why are you not marked yet?" The Alpha King asked as he pointed to my empty marking spot.

Laughter fills the room, followed by a grunt as I elbow my Beta in the stomach to shut him up. Holly's parents look at me as if I have lost my mind now. Eric pulled himself together, muttering a 'sorry' under his breath.

"Holly is marked, the only reason why I am not is because of an interruption," I said, trying to keep my focus on the King.

Eric now snorts, trying to hold his amusement in and I turn to face him, raising my eyebrows and my eyes flashing red as Knight makes his own displeasure known.

Looking back at the pair across from me, the King now shares the same amused look that was just on Eric's face.

"I understand, I am just happy that she has found some happiness." The King says, looking back at his Luna.

Just then, the door is thrown open and one of my warriors rushes in. I really need to have a talk with everyone about barging into rooms without knocking first. He stops when he sees the King and Queen. They may not be wearing fancy clothes and crowns, but the aura that they give off is undeniable.

"I am so sorry your highness, Alpha", He says, his attention now on me. "We have a problem." The warrior says nervously as he looks between all the occupants of the room. Sweat is rolling down his face now.

"What's wrong?" I asked, this is not what we need right now with the King and Queen here.

"Well, umm The prisoner is kind of losing it." The warrior mutters.

"Would you please excuse us for a second?" I said as I stood up from my seat. Knight was instantly agitated as we stepped just outside my office door onto the hallway.

"Well, explain, " Eric said.

"All he says is something is wrong with his mate and he wants to see the two of you."

Eric and I shared a quick glance then, "How would he be able to feel something is wrong if they are not marked?" Eric asked. His nervousness can be heard in his voice.

The warrior drops his eyes to the ground, "Well, Sara, Doc and the Luna came to the cells earlier." Knight growls at the mention of Holly being anywhere near that man. "The Luna asked us to give them some privacy, and well they apparently marked each other at that time."

Eric now growls out, slamming the warrior into the wall across the hall. The entire hallway shakes from the force of it, causing a few picture frames to fall off the wall.

The door opens and the king steps out. "Is everything okay out here?"

Eric released the warrior then and backed away, his eyes were swirling with black as Jax tried to take control. His worry and the need to check on his sister were obvious.

"I am sorry your highness, I will have someone show you to your room. I am sure you both are extremely tired." I said as I started to lead the way down the hall when the King calls out.

"I will join you all then." He says and I stop in my tracks. "Dear go to the room and stay there." He adds to his Luna. She simply scoffs at him from the door. I hadn't realized she was also watching the spectacle in the hallway until then.

"Where you go, I go." She says, taking his arm and turning to us. "Well, lead the way, Alpha Jason."

Deciding not to fight the issue and simply let them accompany us to the cells, I led the way down the stairs and out the front door of the pack house. The cells are not that far, so the walk is short and quiet.

As we entered the building, I could hear growls and things being thrown down the hall. Liam's cell comes into sight and once he sees us I can see he is not in control, it is his wolf.

He notices the audience he has now attracted, he looks at everyone before his eyes lock on those of the King. He lowers his head instinctively from the Kings aura that is rolling off him in waves.

He raises his eyes, now locking eyes with Eric, who growls low in his chest.

"Please let me help, she is in danger." Liam's wolf pleads. "We need to hurry." He adds.

"And exactly why should we believe anything you have to say?" Eric retorted, but I could see the worry beginning to settle in on his features.

Liam's Wolf pulls the collar of his shirt down, revealing a new Mate mark. They really did mark each other.

Liam Wolf looks over to me now, "The Luna approved and allowed it." He says, bowing to me now. "Please she is in trouble, I know it. I can not reach her wolf anymore. It's like she dropped off the planet." His Wolf says. Worry about his mate in his voice.

"I believe him," Knight comments, "There is no reason for him to lie about this. Especially since they are marked and he can not feel her anymore."

I am then hit with a feeling of dread. Something does not seem right, I mindlink my mother and Ella, asking if either of them had seen Sara or Holly recently. Both confirmed that the last they saw of either of them was before they came to the cells for Liam's health check with Doc.

Turning to the warrior, "Did you see where the Luna or Sara went when they left here?"

He nods his head, "The Luna went back to the pack house and Sara went to the forest like she always does when she leaves here." He replies.

Eric looks at me now confused, "I searched the entire pack house when they arrived looking for both of you and there was no sign of Holly anywhere."

My dread intensifying, I bolted out of the cell building and back to the pack house. Throwing open the door, I rushed to our wing of the house. Now throwing open our door, I search the entire apartment with no sign of her anywhere.

Rushing back out and back into the main pack house again, I searched every room, still with no sign of Holly or Sara. The last room to check is the Lunas office. Opening the door, I pray to the moon goddess that she is there, but I am only met with darkness. Flipping on the light, I scanned the room, still no Holly.

Something red on the desk catches my attention and I walk over to pick it up. It's a bright red envelope and inside is a folded piece of paper. Pulling it out, I unfold it and a roar that shakes the entire foundation of the house rips from me.

She will always be mine!、、、、
