Yvonne's POV
Stepping out of the Limo, I was almost swallowed up by the sycophantic crowd. The reporters rushed me trying to get my attention with their questions. I told myself, I've become a star overnight. I wore a yellow off-shoulder fitting gown extending to my feet with a high slit. This gown made me look so elegant. I gave out my best smile to the paparazzi.
"How do you feel about winning Miss Werewolf America?" One of the reporters asked. I walked past him with my bodyguards beside me, trying to make way and prevent fans from mobbing me. That was the order from my manager "Don't give a reply to any reporter's questions".
"We heard that top men and aristocrats are romantically interested in you. What is your take on it and how do you feel about it, Miss Yvonne". I grinned at his questions while I made my way into the building.
"You should wait here. I would love to have a confidential time with him." I said to my bodyguards as I entered the elevator. I breathed a sigh of relief as the elevator door closed. I can't believe this. Being a celebrity is hard and fun. Yeah, I am a celebrity. I'm now a celebrity. A Super star!
I've always been waiting for this day, this moment that I almost gave up on.
"The winner of Miss Werewolf America, Yvonne Carey". Those words! Those sentences made me, I'll never forget them. Up till now, these words re-echoed in my ears. It was the greatest moment of my life! A day I will never forget. The unforgettable moment! I felt on top of the world. I fulfilled my parents' dream, my dream. I didn't disappoint them nor did I disappoint myself. An ordinary Yvonne Carey has become a lady single wealthy suitors are rooting for.
Since I have been announced as the Winner, my best friend and manager, Nelly, has been receiving calls from Alphas, Betas and rich suitors alive but who told them I'm ready for a sudden marriage? I've become an instant candidate but none interest me. Aside from this, I've been receiving calls for endorsements from various companies, just a great advantage to win in life.
The glass door opened at the top floor and I made my way out of the elevator. The chatter can inexplicably be heard lurking in the background throughout the building. In minutes I found myself standing before Nelly's door. I twisted the doorknob and made my entrance to the office. Before me sat a disheveled lady in her twenties. Her hair looks rough and unkempt with bags under her eyes.
"Didn't you sleep?" I dropped my bag hurriedly and walked towards her.
"I slept in the office". She said, staring sleepily at me.
"You should get some sleep then, it's very significant for good health".
"There's so much to do. Being a manager to a great woman like you isn't easy, Yvonne. " I just chuckled at her compliment.
"Have you eaten?" She asked me.
"Yes I have. You know, I don't joke with food." I winked at her.
"Wow you look good, Yvonne". She complimented, I blushed and twirled around, in front of her while she laughed out loud, amused by my action.
"You've sacrificed so much for this. You deserve it".
"And you deserve to sleep". I added.
"There's so much you have to do. Companies are ready to work with you. Your signatures are needed and your presence as well. I need to arrange all these."
"Ahh yes I know. Get some rest, Nelly". I insisted. "Such a workaholic." I said inside of me.
The telephone rang out loud which distracted our arguments. I looked at her with a frowny face, I hate being cut in the middle of a conversation by anything. "When you're done picking that. Go get some sleep, I wouldn't say that again." I said warningly. She chuckled at my words and picked up the phone.
"Yes, it's Nelly on the line. Please who am I on to?" She said professionally while I stared at her with admiration. She is so cool and office-like even after insane jokes and her stubbornness. .
Her face lit up and she turned towards me, handing the phone to me. I raised my eyebrows at her in confusion while she urged me to collect the phone from her. I collected it and placed it close to my ear.
"Hello, who's this?" I was so impatient to know who it was. I couldn't speak in a polite tone like her.
"Hi, Yvonne!" The husky voice said on the other line. I was surprised and wondered who it was.
"Please who are you?" Even though the voice sounds familiar, I can't remember where I heard it.
Silence was maintained for a while before his voice came up again. "I'm Alpha Jeff." My heart skipped, I couldn't believe my ears. How? Jeff? It was like a dream. He has always been my longtime crush who took me for nothing. Over many times, he had made me face embarrassment just because I wasn't his class but had a crush on him. He even made it clear to me that I was not his type.
Hmmm….
Why is he calling me now? Alpha Jeff is the Alpha Prince of the entire southern Supreme American Pack accommodating over many millions of werewolves since it's already a continent on its own. I should be really thrilled and honored to receive a call from him, but what he did to me in the past still lingers in my mind. Despite this, I feel the aura of greatness sparking from him.
I glanced over at my best friend, Nelly. She urged me to speak while she kept grinning at me. It seems like a dream come true. "Are you still there?" I muttered after keeping quiet for a while and not knowing what to say.
"Yes, I am". He replied softly.
"Why do I deserve to be called by the Alpha? Is there any problem?"
"Drop the formalities, we were once schoolmates". He said, chuckling.
"Ohhh!" I exclaimed in surprise. So he now knows we were once schoolmates? Yes, we were classmates but he never acknowledged me as one. He always ignored me and made me face embarrassment. I remembered the day I confessed my feelings to me. They made a joke out of me but that didn't change my feelings for me. Instead, it made me love him more. More than before.
"How have you been doing?" He asked.
"I've been good".
"Congratulations on your latest wins. I was thrilled to know that my long time classmate earned this honored title".
"Thanks. Oh….Was that what the call is about? To congratulate me?" I cut in sharply.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken."
"Thank you so much". I sighed disappointedly.
"Can we meet, Yvonne?." He asked and I jerked up from the chair I sat on, widening my eyes. I can't believe this.
"We should meet?" I asked again to be sure that I heard this from him.
"Yes, I want us to discuss something very important. You don't have to worry about the distance. I will cover the expenses". He said more like in a pleading tone.
"Hmm.. no problem. I can't turn down my Alpha's request, Can I?" I chuckled lightly.
"Thanks". He said, sighing silently. I felt him releasing the breath he never knew he was holding.
"I will send you my private helicopter to come pick you up. And please, I want your personal number".
"No problem. I will send it to you". He hung up the call immediately.
"What did he say?" Nelly rushed towards my side thrilled, to enquire. Her face was saddled with a curiosity I've never seen before.
"He wants us to meet up". I shook my shoulders in disbelief, Nelly frowned thinking I was rejecting the offer.
"Oh My God, Yvonne. I'm really happy for you". She squealed, hugging me tightly. I laughed out in excitement, she wouldn't let me rest.
It's true, it's real. My heart sank in excitement and I screamed out excitedly after her.
Jeff, my long-time, cute, Alpha, prince charming wants to see me. He seeks my presence. This is definitely gonna be an undeniable unforgettable moment.
Yvonne's POV
On the day my journey was scheduled, I woke up too early, beaming with smiles. I couldn't sleep the night before. I was thrilled and excited and wasn't able to sleep a minute. I remembered how I broke the news to my mom and dad. They were so proud of me and advised me to be of my best behavior but I was not going to pretend for the Alpha Prince. I would never think that Alpha Jeff would take up admiration for me. That would be a dream come true.
I put on simple makeup, a fine linen sexy gown matching with black heels. I walked out of the house like the Queen which I was. I was giggling and beaming with smiles.
"Miss Yvonne". My driver asked as I near the car.
"Yes". He smiled sweetly at me. I got guided into a tinted black Limousine and we drove away. The back seat was occupied only by me. I felt like a princess taking a ride, No, a Queen. The car was fascinating and had a perfect AC. I gaze out of the window all through the ride.
"Sorry, can I get water?" I asked when I was feeling thirsty.
"Yes ma'am. You can get it in the refrigerator".
"The refrigerator?" I repeated.
"It's not stressful at all, my Queen. Just press the green button beside you." Wow… I pressed it and the door opened bringing out a chilling, cool air. I love this. This is amazing. That's why I'm a big fan of tech. I widened my eyes to the drinks that were neatly arranged. This is great! I smirked. I picked out a cup and poured myself a drink while enjoying the ride to Jeff's castle. There was this feeling of relaxation and excitement in me. The ride went smoothly and it lasted for two hours.
We entered through a gate and I watched in awe how big and magnificent the buildings in the palace were. I stepped out of the car in my expensive outfit which my manager, Nelly, chose for me. The driver guided me towards a building. The building was bigger than the rest and it stood out more than the rest.
"You can sit here". He gestured towards a couch in the living room. "The Alpha Prince will join you soon". I nodded and walked over to the couch. The living room was out of the world. Everything seems white and golden, perfect taste.
Soon, I heard footsteps from the staircase and I knew instinctively that he was the one. I looked up at the staircase. He was wearing a white shirt and a pair of gray pants which hugged his body perfectly well, His shirt was not too buttoned up to his neck which exposed his masculine captivating chest. He was more than good-looking, far more than the last time we met. I've always loved him and I wish he could reciprocate it. If it's just for once, I will be glad. Jeff!
Before me now sat the most handsome man I'd ever seen. I'd really do anything for him.
"Good morning, Your Highness." I greeted with a smile.
"Wow," he commented with a sigh of surprise. "I think I should be the one calling you by that name. Anyway, good morning Yvonne. How was your ride here?" His voice was lovely and had become more deep.
"I loved it. It was thrilling". I grinned.
Silence filled the air while he stared at me with great lust, taking my mind back to those times I had a crush on him. Immediately, he stood up and gestured to me to do the same.
"Get up. Let me take you out, it's too informal to meet for the first time here. We can discuss more there".
We got into his luxury latest G-wagon, where we took a ride to one of the most expensive restaurants in the pack. By merely sighting here, you realized this is not a restaurant for the average class. This is a five-star.
We were directed to the VIP section where we became the only ones using it. We sat around a table while he made the order.
"Do you need something?" The waiter asked.
"Nope. Just give me what he ordered already." I replied.
"You look better than in your school days. You've grown prettier." I blushed at his words. He has never complimented me before. Always avoided me like a plaque in school. Money and fame do change things, it changes how people look at you, how they see you. It buys respect. A new you!
"Yvonne". He called out while we were eating. I hummed a reply to him and urged him to speak.
"I really need your help on something". He said with all seriousness and I became a bit tense. The Alpha Prince, the arrogant Alpha Jeff needs my help? This better be good, I wouldn't accept anything less.
"I know I have been so mean to you during our high school days but I want to make up with you, I was scared I wouldn't meet my mate if I get to mingle with you". I stared at him confused and lost. This in itself sounds so lame.
"What do you mean?"
"Please, let me". He said and went down on his knees bringing out a ring. An expensive diamond ring. I gasped and stood up immediately.
"W..What are you doing, Yvonne"? I stuttered. He must be kidding, I'm shocked.
"Accept the ring and I will make you understand". I looked around and saw that no one was in sight.
Jeff has been serious. So Serious!
I smiled widely and slipped the ring to my fingers. It looks so enchanting. I will never let these moments pass.
"This ring is expensive, Yvonne".
"Yes, it's from Dubai".
"Really. How much is it?"
"Thirty million dollars". I looked at him, losing sense of myself. Well, he has money. A lot of it! But still, I couldn't comprehend.
"What?" I screamed out aloud. He came closer and hugged me tightly to himself.
"You will have more than this if you accept my deal.
I stood admiring the mansion in front of me with my mouth agape. It was breathtaking.. Each corner of the wall was beautifully carved. This building is worth millions and Jeff spoke in a language I couldn't quite understand but at least I could guess it meant good.
"It's yours". I screamed out aloud and rushed forward. It has a carpark and a car was packed in it.
"And everything in it". I gasped and walked inside the building admiring the color. The designs were made with complete care. Spotless white paint with sky blue, the house was undeniably breathtaking. The well trimmed plants added beauty to the compound and mansion.
I turned back to Jeff and wondered why he's doing all this.
"Tell me, what do you want?" He grinned at me and pulled me down to sit.
"I need a wife to stay long on the Alpha's throne or else I would be dethroned and my twin would rule the Southern Crescent Pack together with his".
"Then, get your mate".
"I don't know where she is. That's the problem. Yvonne!" I stared at him wondering what he really wanted me to do.
"Do y..you w..wan..t me to act as your wife?" A contractual marriage came to mind.
"No, I want you to be my real wife". He said. I stared at him gobsmacked and tried processing. Isn't this wrong?
"Isn't it wrong?"
"No, it isn't. You are helping me, Yvonne and I'm sure the moon goddess won't find anything wrong about it.
"I..I don't think I can do this".
"But you like me, don't you?" He asked. I sighed and felt stupid. Have always wanted him, now it's the time. Buh what if he comes across with his mate?
"Yvonne!"
"I will do it". I voiced out not minding the consequences. This building costs a whole lot of money. Millions of dollars. He bought a ring worth three million dollars. A diamond ring from Dubai for me. And I love him. I really love him.
"Thanks Yvonne. You don't know how much this means to me".
"So, am I staying here?"
"No, you will stay with me at the Castle."
"You know I can't stay with you there, the law of this pack, from the moon goddess, doesn't allow that."
"Nothing will happen. I've brought numerous ladies and nothing happened to them. Will it then happen to you that I want to marry?" Wow… My eyes fell at his words and I tore my gaze away from him.
"I didn't mean it that way".
"I understand. But I can't live with you over there still, I would only attract a lot of attention". The moon goddess is against unmarried couples to live together in the pack. Whoever defiles the law, the woman will be barren while the guy won't be able to produce kids. You are the Alpha and you can't take such risks, you need kids.
"I'm not ready to risk my life". I muttered silently.
Yvonne's POV
Jeff insisted that I should move with him to the palace. I didn't disagree with him because I wanted to. Yea, I wanted to move with him, I wanted him to claim me. True, it's against the moon goddess but I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity. I've been in love with this guy for five good years.
He brought a ring worth millions for me. He gave me a house at the most luxurious part of the pack. A house worth millions. A house that I can't afford overnight. How could I disagree? Wouldn't I be considered an ingrate? He has been busy over the past three days. We only talked on the phone and video call one another. For the three days he has been so cool. I found myself falling for him more. He traveled to the Caribbean for a quick leave and some business vacation, while I've been here signing deals, having brands but being with Yvonne would expand my influencer lifestyle and give me more business opportunities.
"Yvonne, don't you think this will have dire consequences. Because it's against the moon goddess". Nelly scolded after feeding her about what was happening. Well, Jeff is coming back tonight and he's planning on mating with me. Tonight.
"You should decline".
"I can't. I have no choice".
"You have a choice, Yvonne. You do".
"Nelly, this is a man I have admired for so long. A man I want. I'm helpless, I don't know what to do or say". I sighed frustrated. "If he mates with me, the moon goddess might not decide to punish us. She may overlook it as he has already proposed to me".
"And how sure are you, of this and of him?" She asked calmly.
"There are so many people who have escaped this. I hope and know I will".
"Does your mom and dad know about this?"
"No. I didn't tell anyone. You are the only one who knows about this first of all".
"I'm just looking out for you. If you think it's right, I have no problem with it. Just be careful. You are old enough to make a decision for yourself".
I walked out to the balcony and admired how the color of the setting sun affected the city. It made it look more pretty. I held the rails tightly staring at space. I turned my head towards Nelly and smiled at her.
"It has always been my dream to live in a serene environment like the one I just visited. To be among the high class as I am with the Alpha Prince and I'm myself as the Beauty Queen. To prove everyone wrong that I can do it". I said and turned my face away from hers.
She sighed and walked closer to me, resting her hand on my shoulder. "You worked hard for it. You sacrificed so much to win this. You deserve this fame. It's a dream come true for you now".
"I sacrificed so much to this level, but I can say luck shone on me. I can't let go of this opportunity. Jeff will mate with me tonight".
After having a fine dinner and a warm bath, I laid on my big comfortable bed awaiting Jeff. He hasn't arrived from the Caribbean and I'm not able to reach him. I think he doesn't want any trouble. He told me he would be back tonight.
After trying his number for the tenth time, I wore my skimpy nightgown and laid on my bed.
I was dozing off when a scent hit me hard. I became alert and tried deciphering the scent. Where did it come from?
"Mate, Mate!" My wolf squealed happily. I gasped loudly and was taken aback. In the process of processing what just happened, the door opened a little. From my supine position on the bed, I could make out the silhouette of a person, a "he" Jeff! He had Jeff's structure.
When did he arrive? Why didn't I hear the sounds of car horns? As the figure came closer, placing each step after the other, more of its feature was Jeff. Jeff is my mate! So we are definitely not going against the moon goddess order. But why was I just knowing? Why did I have to smell his scent now, not then?
I was having mixed feelings of excitement, surprise and doubts. The room was dark but when his eyes held mine, it shined brightly that I wondered when Jeff had the eye color?
His light blue eyes held mine. I became paralyzed and couldn't get up from the bed.
I managed to gather my wits and asked "Jeff, I never heard you drive in?"
He didn't say anything. Wordlessly, he took off his shirt and joined me in bed. He breathed close to my neck and dropped on hickey. I moaned effortlessly. Bead of sweat lines on my forehead, I felt the presence of a mate. I'm about to be marked by my mate. But why is he looking quite strange and conservative?
We didn't have to speak. His eyes showed hunger, wants. He took off my nightgown and set astride my legs so he would be in the midst of my thighs. Bent from the waists so his nipples would brushed against my turgid nipples.
"I. Want. All. Of. You". He said. The feeling was electric and I wrapped him in an embrace. But his voice was more calm and deep than the usual one. The voice was a bit different. Was he drunk? Or maybe he was stressed. Urges have a way of overriding thoughts. I shrugged the thoughts away and focused on the moment. I want to be in the moment.
He locked his lips with mine. It was rough at first. My tongue pried open his mouth and his tongue groped the insides. A groan escaped from my lips as we engaged in a searing kiss. I turned him upside down while I stayed on top of him. I love being on top. He smirked and ran his eyes over my body. His hands ran back and forth the length of my body and rested at my butt, squeezing them lightly. I let out a groan which prompted him to do more. He found my bare nipples and attacked them immediately. I arched my back, causing my nipples to get an inch closer to him.
After a while of romancing and exploring each other's body, I tugged at his trousers and pulled it off. We were both unclad as I shifted to let him slide into my warm wet honey pot with remarkable ease. My lips found his body as I kissed and bit his nipples. He let out an animalistic groan and the motion began. I went to and fro and he encouraged me by supporting my waist.
Gently at first, his phallus pierced in and out. Then, the desire just inflamed, we began a speed dance. My breasts went up and down and he held them, squeezing it lightly.
Few minutes later, his thick gum spurted from him into me. I felt wetter and pulled out from him. He pulled me closer and gave me a gentle kiss and dropped a hickey on my neck. I smiled and leaned in closer, resting my head on his chest.
I felt lightheaded and happy that Jeff was finally my Mate. I couldn't wait to break the news to Nelly. He's my mate. I don't have to worry about the moon goddess. I rested on his chest and felt relaxed and comfortable. I've never felt this relaxed with Jeff. He has marked me now, he has marked me as his mate so I'm supposed to feel extra relaxed.
Why isn't he saying a thing? I chuckled lightly and was about to break the silence when the door sprung open. We both jerked up as I pulled the duvet close to my body.
What I saw next made me speechless and confused. Another Jeff? How many Jeff are coming to claim me? Then who did I just sleep with? He had a striking resemblance with Jeff but the more I looked at him, the more I saw the difference. The difference between them.
Jeff looks changed from shocked to infuriated.
"Jack?" He growled.
