Alpha Blade

Alex's POV

It was the moonlight ball celebration of the year.

Everyone was happy, the young wolves who were to be mated to the fated mate were all carrying the happiness so loud on their faces.

It was clear, the atmosphere was bright enough that it couldn't fully be described.

But it was different where I sat, all through the night it had been a restless and scofflaw one for me.

Clara has refused to mind link with me, and I wonder what the problem was

With a heavy heart, I decided to go see her that morning so we could go to the banquet hall together, as we are to be fated today.

I tried this morning again to mind link with her, but she kept blocking me.

I went to the bathroom to take a warm bath. It was nice as the water flushed down my body, sending a shiver down my spine

After the bath, I applied lotion and then to the silver royal attire, which sat well on me.

I finished dressing and took a look in the mirror once again before exiting the room.

I walked into the hallway heading to Clara's room, but then I was stopped by my beta wolf.

“Good morning Alpha '' he greeted.

I nodded with a sign that he understood.

“Is Clara in?” I asked him, moving forth to crack the door open, but his next words hit me hard.

I wasn't expecting him to tell me that, but I gulped it down.

“She said she would rather not see you, my Highness,” he busted.

I froze where I stood to open the door with my eyes blinking in every corner.

I turned to him with my face seeking answers.

“Why?” I asked moving closer to where he stood.

“I do not know her reasons for being so my Highness,” he replied.

“Bring her then when she is done” I replied making my way to the hall.

I couldn't tell why her mood changed suddenly, all through the day yesterday we went out to get the dress she had always wanted to wear to the ball. She was excited to have them, but last night she mind-blocked me.

I was confused, I wanted to ask her why she was mind-blocking me now and why she requested no one including me come to see her.

With a heavy breath, I walked down the banquet hall. From the appearance, you will know that it took effort to bring it up here.

I greeted the elders after the long conversation. I went to my seat waiting patiently for Clara to appear, yet she was unavailable.

The ceremony soon began, and yet, she was nowhere to be found.

I gulped down as I was called up to give the speech, with waterloo's heart I climbed taking the microphone from the MC to give the speech.

“Hello, great people of this pack!” I screamed through the microphone, bringing their attention back.

Everyone responded, taking their seat back and paying attention to where I stood, I sighed as I gained their attention.

Everywhere went silent that if a pin fell, the echo would be heard loud and clear.

I smiled at them and continued with the speech.

“As you all know, today is a very great day for the pack, especially the newly mated wolves,” I said, casting stares at them where they sat giggling ear to ear.

“It called out for this celebration, as I meant to announce that…” I suddenly paused looking around to see if I could see Clara where she was yet, I was unable to see her.
