Chapter 6

Lawrence pov :

I ran my hands through my hair with a loud sigh. I was in my office going through pack details, having in mind that later I would be having a meeting with two packs having a controversy among themselves.

Because unfortunately, some Alphas always let their pride rule over better judgment.

I received a knock on the door interrupting my train of thought. "Come in," I said before my beta walked in with a confident and mischievous smile on his face.

He dropped a brown envelope with a file on my desk before taking a seat "anything new on the attack last night?" I asked, looking down at the files on the desk.

Those Rogue's and their turmoil always try to cross into pack borders. Some packs have been having rogue issues recently and it is getting out of control because they seem to be increasing in numbers and no one knows how this is happening. With all the confrontations they are causing I'm tempted to end their miserable lives.

" Yes, it's already settled and the Alpha's precious daughter and her grandma will be escorted by Jack immediately once they get off the plane." I almost forgot about their arrival.

But I don't get why the Alpha would send his daughter over here with the excuse of something about protection. I can't complain because after all, my duty is to protect supernatural beings in need.

"Is everything ready for the meeting?" I asked going through the brown envelope he placed on the table.

"Yes, everything has been put in order" he replied with a nod.

"Okay, you may now take your leave, " I said dismissing him. But, being Anderson, he didn't make any move towards the door.

I glanced at him with raised eyebrows. "Can't I just spend time with my best friend?" he asked with a playful smile.

"Stop acting silly Anderson you can now leave, my sister will need you more than I do," I said before returning to my work.

"Don't remind me, okay man, if you need anything mind link me."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just ended the meeting which consisted of four hours of listening to grown male wolves behaving like pups. "Let's go for a run," my lycan Travis says.

"okay let me round all this up." After signing what needed to be signed I left for a run.

My lycan is white in color which is very rare, he is arrogant, prideful, and violent. Loving the smell of fresh leaves and the way the soil stumbled under my paws while I moved at the speed of light dodging through trees easily, running helped me relieve stress and my aching muscles.

While running I got a mind link telling me to come home to receive the Alpha's daughter and her grandma to the pack.

When I got home I went straight to take a relaxing shower before heading to the dining room where everyone was seated except for our expected guests.

"Lawrence come sit. Our guests will be down soon," Mum declared noticing the confused look on my face.

"Son have you heard from Elder Mathias?" Elder Mathias is more of a father to me than my own father. He has been my guide and one of the reasons I am who I am today.

Right now he was taking a trip to a neighboring pack working on pack distribution and establishment for me.

"Yes it's going well, he will be back tomorrow, "I said deeply proud of his achievements over there.

I made small talk with Dad, Anderson, and Levi before my senses were blocked with the most luscious scent ever.

I sniffed the air savoring the sweet scent of sweet strawberry rose and a mix of honey. It was not coming from the food but from behind the closed doors.

This was a sign I was about to see my mate step through that door, immediately the door was opened and I saw the most beautiful girl with brown hair, radiant amber eyes, and full pink lips. She was an angel."MATE" my lycan declared before I could stop myself.

The urge to run towards her, hug and kiss her soft pink lips flooded through my being, but I could not because something was pulling me back from doing any of those things to her.

"Man. finally you have found your mate, and by the way she is beautiful," Anderson whispered beside me with a smile evident on his lips.

I shot him a glare before hearing her cough awkwardly making her way towards the dinner table moving seductively slow.

She took a seat next to Lillian but Dad had to open his mouth. "From what my son just made us all realize is that you are is mate correct ?" he raised a question taking a sip from his glass of wine while staring at her intensely.

She tried hiding a smirk as she stared back looking bored with everything around her.

" I am not his mate because from what I know I don't have a mate, " she said smugly sounding disrespectful.

The girl must be feisty with all that attitude and a look of boredom plastered on her face.

I gave her an intense glare, she was a wild one who needs to be put in place, to be tamed.

"And why do you feel you don't have a mate? " Dad asked with raised eyebrow not impressed by her attitude but still looked amused.

Everyone watched her silently with undivided attention waiting for her sassy reply. I was also curious.

"I was anathematized to never have a mate so I don't know what he meant by I am his mate, " she said with attitude.

Everyone was shocked and surprised, I actually might have believed her if not for the way she held herself from laughing out loud.

"She is only quipping your Majesties " a lady who must be her grandma apologized before glancing at her warningly.

I received a mind link from Jack "you just got rejected by your mate, I can tell she will be trouble in paradise " I growled at him. She was playing a game she shouldn't bother starting.

She really needed to be tamed, I would so derive pleasure taming her.

I felt disgruntled and slighted by her attitude not even acknowledging my presence here as her king "enough of these jokes" I growled gaining everyone's attention, " she is my mate and this should be kept a secret, nobody should know about this" I order edwhile daring her to say otherwise with my intense gaze on her.

I stared at her for a few minutes before going back to my meal.

The silence continued as nobody dared to brea it. Lillian being Lillian finally spoke, "I am Lillian Clifford. Lawrence sister" she said politely with a wide grin.

"Lawrence ?" she asked before taking a sip from her glass of water.

She chuckled harmoniously "that is the king's name"

I zoned out of the conversation focusing on my meal and thoughts but throughout the dinner, she talked coldly to everyone who dared to make conversation with her.

She left after a few minutes leaving her food untouched having only water.

I growled loudly slamming my hand against the table feeling once again insulted by her, How dare she walk out with me still seated on my chair.

I made a move to go after her but Anderson's hand on my wrist stopped me.

Mom glared at me meaning business or better yet time for berating, "what was that for? I swear if you dear choose that slut over your mate you are in for destruction " she said angrily.

I released a growl feeling disrespected by her. She might be indignant but that doesn't give her the right to talk that way.

"Son you can't do that, you waited for three years for this and she is here how can you let it go," Dad said with a serious look" I know she might be difficult from what I have seen but she just what you need right now "

"Um excuse me can I take my leave," Alex said pushing her chair back waiting for my reply.

I reply with a nod letting her leave.

"Mum I never said I was going to reject her, I only said it should be kept as a secret and I don't see anything wrong with what I said, " I said trying to keep my voice calm as possible" You all saw how she just disrespected me".

Why couldn't they let me take care of this my own way?

"Whatever you say but don't think of rejecting her and please take it slow with her," she said before leaving pulling my father out with her.

I ran my hands through my hair in frustration " I trust you have this under control " Anderson said patting my back " but if you need any advice I will be here"

" I rather ask Jack for advice " I scoffed.

"really? " Jack asked with a smile.

"no, I was only playing with you"

"Okay man Lillian and I have work that needs to be completed," Anderson said holding out his hands for her.

"Better be something you can tell me about, "I said with a smirk.

"yes it will be," he said looking at Lillian who is as red as a tomato.

I left after them making my way to the gym to burn some stress out, "what do you have to say to all this Travis?" I asked thoughtfully.

"If I tell you to go see our mate will you ?" he inquired.

"No, forget I even asked, " I said blocking the mind link while throwing angry blows at the boxing bag.

A few hours later I was through with training, after taking a relaxing bath I lay in bed cogitating over today's events

I could not help but think of her. When I looked into her eyes they were sparkling with unshed tears and I could sense layers covering her true nature.

I just couldn't believe my mate was the Alpha's daughter.

I fell asleep to just one thing on my mind: those amber eyes.
