The Alphas And The Orphan

Friday 12th March

Maxine POV

I have been waiting for this day for so long, both of my best friends found their mates on their birthdays, and I pray that I will do the same, but there is a part of me that is dreading it at the same time.

I am bisexual, and find it hard to picture my life with just one partner. While having more than one mate is not unusual, it only really happens with multiples, like the triplets. I have never heard of someone having more than one mate that weren’t related.

But if I only have to have one, then I hope it’s Olly. I have always had a thing for him, but since Star mated the triplets, we have spent a lot of time together, and he excites me more than anyone else.

I have spent the whole day at home. I do not want to meet my mate until I am waxed and preened to perfection. so I am now sitting in my bedroom, having my hair pulled so tight by Suzie, it feels like she is giving me a facelift.

She and Blair arrived about an hour ago. Like us, they went home to hold funerals for their fallen warriors. I thought my bestie would miss my birthday, but thanks to the joint mission, some of Anne-Marie’s coven members found their mates in Blair’s pack.

There have been many matings over the last few days. I suppose having so many different communities together was bound to happen.

My bedroom door flies open to reveal a person who looks like a giant bag. I hear Star swear as she trips and starts to drop the packages in her hands. Both Suzie and I rushed to help her.

When her face comes into view, she huffs, “how, when I have three mates, do I still end up carrying this s**t alone?” I give her a smirk, “because the three A’s are p***y’s.”

She cracks up, “you may be right, give them 100 rogues to battle and they are in their element, but give them three women getting ready for a party and they hide like little scared boys.”

She hangs a dress bag on my full-length mirror , “are you ready? I have been hiding this since Suzies birthday.Close your eyes, babe”

I do as I am told and hear a rustling and a few dirty swear words, then hands take off my dressing gown, and I am asked to lift one foot, then the other, Suzie had chosen a red thong for me to wear, but had left me braless, the three of us have seen each other naked so many times over the years, so I am not uncomfortable.

I feel the soft fabric being pulled over my h**s, and over my chest, they fasten something behind my neck and at my lower back. Then shoes are put on my feet, f**k they are high. What I believe is jewelry is added to my wrists and neck.

“Okay, open your eyes.” I gasp, I am standing in a gown, deep red in color, it is floor length with a slit that goes all the way to the top of my thigh. The bodice is inlaid with an embroidered design, in silk thread just a shade darker than the rest of the dress. I look closer and the design is of three wolves running in the forest.

The neck line is a sweetheart, with a halterneck strap, the built-in bra pushes my small breasts up, enhancing my cleavage. I turn around and the dress is completely backless, the sides hug my ribs, so there is no trashy side-boob, and fastens just above the curve of my a*s.

If I could have visioned the perfect dress with the perfect amount of siren, class and beauty, I would never have been able to come up with this.

The necklace and bracelet are white gold, with pink diamonds. I lift the dress and stare at the deep red Jimmy Choo Nappa Sandals. The straps are encrusted with pink crystals that match my necklace and bracelet.

I looked at my friends, and whispered, “I love it, thank you so much, it’s perfect.” After hugging my amazing friends, we finished getting ready and headed to the training ground. Just like Suzie’s party, there was a huge Marque, Red flowers and decorations were everywhere,

As soon as I stepped inside, the most amazing smell hit me, sweet roses and candy, my mouth watered, and my wolf Chai, leaps around in my head, “MATE, Maxi our mate is here, find them.”

I search around with my eyes, until finally I am drawn to a set of beautiful emerald ones, my feet seem to move on their own as I walk towards the gorgeous and powerful elemental. I stop in front of her, she tenderly touches my cheek.

“Anya? you are mine?” She grinned, “and you are mine,” then she captures my lips with hers. Sparks explode from my lips and travel throughout my body, I am lost in the feeling, until Chai starts to leap around in my brain, I pull back and look into my mates eyes, her eyes squint in confusion.

“Maxi, do you feel it too? Jinny is prancing around like a puppy.” Then I smell it, the enchanting smell of autumn leaves and freshly baked bread, Anya is sniffing the air, her eyes clouded, then she grabs my hand and pulls me across the dance floor.

I search for what she has seen, and find Olly in front of us. He has a shocked look on his face as he looks between Anya and I, then a massive smirk fills his face, and he mouths “MATES” at us, before marching and picking us both up in his arms, kissing first me and then Anya, the three of us lose our selves in each other, kissing and hugging.

A throat clears behind us and a smiling Aiden looks at us with joy shining in his eyes, “congratulations guys, but you are blocking the line to the food, and you should never get between hungry wolves and their food.”

I grinned as Olly puts us down, Aiden embraced me and Anya, “now I can leave and know my best friend will be okay, the moon goddess has played a blinder and chosen him the two most perfect mates.”

I kissed his cheek, and my sexy girl blushed at his words, she is so f*****g cute. I turn to Olly, he winks at me and licks his lips, I am going to have a lot of fun with those two sexy people.

The night was a huge success. I watched my friend slow dancing with her two mates. I am so glad she has been given everything she wanted, and both Olly and Anya look like they have won the lotto.

I lean into Ash’s chest, I had put him on an alcohol ban after the last few times he had to be carried home, so we were sharing a glass of juice.

“Everyone looks so happy, Ash, I feel like everything is coming together, that we are finally going to be able to relax and enjoy our wonderful life.”

I looked around the room, at all the happy couples, beginning their own adventures. Suzie and Blair, I have noticed that she has been on juice all night. I think she may have some news for us soon.

Aiden and Jess. We will be heading to Greece tomorrow, to spend a few days getting them settled in at Spirit moon, it will be hard to leave them their but I know this is the best thing for them, I know they are going to have an amazing life and be amazing leaders, this is just the start for them, I have big plans for those two.

Hayley and Leander will also be leaving tomorrow.

My eyes fall on Ace and Lex and, as if I am calling them, look up and smile, before making their way to us.

Goddess thank you for giving me the best of everything. My life is perfect, I place my hand on my stomach, and I will soon have everything I have ever wanted.

The End (or is it?)
