chapter 54

(Auroras POV)

Organizing for the Summer Solstice Party has been grueling. I have been trying to make this year the greatest it has ever been. The girls have been making fun of me saying it is because Alpha Asher is going to be in attendance, which is completely ridiculous. This is my first Summer Solstice as Alpha. I want to show my pack members I care and that I can run an efficient pack. I have never even met Asher, yet I cannot shake the feeling I get when I listen to his name. My wolf and I cannot control ourselves. My ass would already be at his bedroom door if I could go to his territory. I was feeling like such a prissy 13-year-old, fawning all over an Alpha I have never set my eyes on. It seemed my obsession was growing with each passing day. I needed to meet him, I wanted him to be my mate. Just the thought of all the descriptions people around the pack told me about his physical appearance as well as his personality, he seemed perfect. I sought to see if the rumors were true. I had a newfound confidence I did not think I could possess. This man, what was he doing to me? All that confidence flew out the window the morning of the party, I was consequently anxious. I was panicking, I could not get my hair right, my makeup was a disaster and every outfit I tried on made me look fat. I needed serious help, just as I was about to mind link the girls, they all rushed through the door way, all looking worried. I was extremely taken back when they all shouted at once.

“We’re here, what do you need?!” I was freaked out but at the same time relieved, they all just felt my freak and came rushing to help me.

“Guys…girls, I can’t do this!” “Asher and his pack members will be here in like any minute and I look like a hippo, a ginormous hippo, a ginormous hippo with a fat ass, GODDESS, I knew I shouldn’t have had those 10 cinnamon rolls for breakfast this morning!”

They were not used to my freak outs at all, they were all looking at me like I had 4 heads and was shooting fire out of my butthole. Well they better get used to it because I seem to be doing a lot more freaking out lately. They all just stared at me for a couple minutes until Maia decided to break the ice.

“Aurora listen, you are beautiful, intelligent and powerful, if Asher is like they all say, that will be enough, you will be enough.”

That statement made me feel a lot better. I was starting to feel at ease until Raven spoke up at the worst moment possible.

“Or he wants her pack just like every other Alpha that has come here.”

Sage smacked Raven on the arm hard, Raven growled before getting into Sages face.

“Fuck Sage, you’re a healer, you’re not supposed to inflict pain on a person.” Sage had no problem getting right back into Ravens face.

“Oh, shut up, you deserved it!” “What if Asher just wants her?” “We all know she has been having a pull to him ever since that disastrous meeting with Alpha Hunter, maybe Asher and she are mates.” “Just because you had a bad experience with one Alpha does not mean Asher will be the same.” You can tell that last statement stung Raven, she did have a bad experience with an Alpha, I can understand her hatred of Alphas but one Alpha does not mean all of them were bad, Sage was right. I had to have faith that Asher was not a bullheaded Alpha. I quickly detonated the situation by asking for help. They helped me pick out a blue lace dress, it had a beaded band around the waist that showed off my hourglass figure, the razor back showed off my only tattoo located on my shoulder blade, my hair was up in a high pony tail so you could see all the features on my face. The girls assembled my makeup perfectly, I did not feel like a birthday cake nor naked. It was subtle and I was the queen of subtle. Just as we were adding the finishing touches, I heard a car approach the pack house. My heart started to race; Asher was here. We heard the car door open and close and everyone snapped to attention, we hurried to the window to see 5 men standing next to a Land Rover, my nose suddenly got a scent I have never smelled before, it smelled heavenly, like a mixture between mint and lavender. I look over to the girls who all stare out the window with lust in their eyes. We could see the men talking, sniffing the air and then racing towards the front door of the pack house. We all faced the door, listening to their running footsteps on the stairs, when suddenly the door burst open revealing the 5 of them. Each of them locked on to their mate. I was immediately hit with the scent again, this time it was so powerful it almost knocked me to the ground. The male that bore this angelic scent pushed aside the others and came straight towards me, I looked him straight into the eyes with lust. I have found my mate.
