Approaching the Arrogant Alpha novel Chapter 6

They have stepped aside for twelve new Guardians. The Prime Alpha is walking through... he looks furious with Baden and curious about me.

"You'll be quiet," the Prime Alpha speaks to Baden with a hand raised, while his silver eyes, the same colour as his greying hair - meet my gaze, "Maia Royale... a pleasure to meet you."

"You too," I whisper, bowing my head respectfully.

"No need, pup," the Prime Alpha chuckles and I glance up to see him staring at his son, "Baden is about to get a wake up call - something he won't appreciate but it's a blessing, never the less."

"What is?" I ask, I'm too curious to know.

"The judge Ivory speaks of a certain impairment of the senses that you two share," the Prime Alpha stares at Baden as Baden stares back - he certainly doesn't look like he loves his father, in fact, he looks like he despises him. I didn't expect this dynamic - yet here I was witnessing the full-bodied glare from Baden's young passionate gaze.

"Tell me what it is?" Baden growls.

"You will not speak to me with that tone," the Prime Alpha growls low, his eyes furious as he glares at his only son, "Know your place."

Baden is silent, but I am still waiting.

"Prime Alpha, what is it?" I ask far more gently than Baden and without the attitude.

"It's a very rare affiliation... but a strong sense of odour shared by two wolves is a resounding and true pointer towards a mate-ship bond," the Prime Alpha winks at me kindly, "You, Maia... of the Crescent Pack... will soon be a part of the Moon Pack. My son's mate."

"I think there's been some confusion, a mistake," I dismiss it instantly - it is not true, it can't be true.

"There is no mistake," the Prime Alpha answers for me, while I look at Baden, who is now gazing at me in a new light, "You are both mates - and you will act like it."

I watch Baden cringe.

I just forget how to breathe, while Baden blinks - turns... and walks away.

"Give him time," Corey suggests loudly, "Young love can be tough..."

"I thought young love was meant to be strong... but there is no love... not a hint of it," I answer, my eyes glazing over with the rejection.

"The decree that you spend 6 months by my son's side is still in place, Maia," the Prime Alpha speaks quietly to me, "Go to him... don't delay... and good luck."
