“Marcel, you need to be dressed, your dinner is in a hour.” Nina said walking into the office.

“Yea I only need 10 minutes to get ready so I’ll be fine.” I simply replied

“My dear son you have to mingle with your guests. You know the ones you invited.” Nina Insisted

“Alright let me get ready then.” I sighed

“Thank you.” Nina smiled then walked out of the office shutting the door behind her.

I sighed but got up and got ready to greet my guests. It’s a shame that even though i’m 26 my mother still likes to bark orders at me. I looked in the mirror and thanked the moon goddess for another day here on this earth. I went to greet Alpha Devon and Alpha Viola. They are the only Alphas that aren’t completely annoying so why not. 

“Ah there he is!” Alpha Devon yelled out

“Nice to see you too Devon.” I said sarcastically

I looked to my left to see Alpha Viola. Yes she is a female Alpha but she damn sure earned that position. “Viola It’s good to see you.” I called 

“I wish I could say the same but I'm too focused on why you invited witches?” Viola said while staring me down

“Not that it's any of my business but I wanna know too.” Devon Chimed in 

“Well it’s not your business but i’m seeking an alliance with their coven that's all you need to know.” I Replied 

“Ugh why would you wanna do that? They can’t be trusted.”

“Maybe but it’s a new era with me as the Alpha trying something new won’t hurt.” I said before walking to the witches to greet them.

Aaliyah the Head of the Witches looked at me with a small smirk on her face “Alpha Hayes what a pleasure to finally meet you in person.” Aaliyah greeted “This is my husband David” Pointing to the tall male “and my daughter Davina.” Gesturing to the Young girl next to them who had her head down 

“Nice to meet you and welcome to MoonValley.” I said with a smile until Davina looked up and we Locked eyes as if on que. It was only a split second but I instantly knew she was my mate. I cleared my throat, gaining everyone's attention.

“I’m sure you're all hungry. Let's get this dinner started shall we?” I say walking to the dining hall. Everyone Followed behind me and after I took my seat so did everyone else.

The dinner was fast for only an hour and a half. Aaliyah and her husband had walked outside but Davina was still here talking to my sister Sienna. So I took that as my chance to talk to her.

“Davina do you have a minute.” I asked

“ Um sure.” she answered unsure. Sienna, giving me a questioning look but walked away.

“I know we just met but I wanted to tell you that you are beautiful.”

Davina gave a smile before looking away embarrassed. “Thank you Alpha Hayes.”

I smiled back before speaking again. “ I wanted to talk about--- I was cut off as her phone went off.

“I'm sorry it's my dad they’re waiting for me in the car can we talk another time.” Davina asked with her angelic voice

“Yea no rush, let me get your number so we can meet up.”

“Ok then.” Davina said, asking for my phone. Handing her my phone she put her number in.

 “Ok all set, thanks for the dinner, have a good night.” She smiles sweetly. I watched her walk back inside. She was gone but I knew I would see her again and that’s all that mattered.

When I woke up the next morning Davina was the first thing that came to my mind so I called her. The phone rang for what seemed like forever then it stopped.

“Hello?” She answered

“Hey It’s marcel are you free right now?” 

“Yea I'm free where are we going?”

“Valley chicken and waffles best in town.”

“Bet, i’m getting ready now.”

“See you in a bit.” I say then hung up the phone. I have to admitI was excited, but I have to approach this carefully if I truly want to end the war between witches and werewolves.

At Valley’s Chicken & Waffles

I got to the spot first and waited probably about 15 minutes before she got here. She walked in looking like the queen she is. I raised my hand letting her know where I was.

“Hey.” She said as she was sitting down.

“Hey thanks for coming.”

“It’s nothing just had to sneak out of the coven is all haha. Do we order or?” she asked shyly

“You had to sneak out? And I already ordered they tend to take at least 30minutes to an hour but they have the best Chicken and waffles the best in Moon Valley.”

“I’m really excited I don’t really get out much strict society you know.” she said, taking a sip of water. (maybe to give more context lol)

“I figured since you said you had to sneak out?” I replied

“Yea, I'm usually too busy practicing spells, flexibility,self defense and many other things.”

“The life of the head witches daughter huh.” I laughed 

“Well she’s only Head of the Eternal Rose coven not all witches.” she clarified

“I stand corrected.” I said with a smile

The waiter brought our food over and gave us our drinks. Davina put a couple waffles and chicken wings on her plate. I followed her lead and did the same, we ate in silence. I guess we were both very hungry.

“That was delicious thank you.” Davina said leaning back in her seat

“Glad you liked it.” I smirked

“Sooo what did you wanna talk about?” she asked curiously

“I wanted to talk about you and me.”

“Oh?” she said shyly slightly blushing.

“Yea there's just something about you that makes me wanna get to know you.”

“My parents wouldn’t approve one bit. They are hell bent on me marrying a warlock.” She explained.

“Is that what you want?” I asked her.

“No I actually want something more exciting then a warlock and what’s more exciting than a werewolf. Alpha at that.” she said with her beautiful smile. “My parents can’t know not until I'm ready.” she clarified.

“That's fine with me baby.” I tell her. 

She smiles at me brightly. “Right now no one has to know about her because I want her to myself.” I smiled back at her 

“No I agree since you know I'm trying to gain your mother alliance.” 

“My emotions are all over the place along with my senses.” I replied.

“That’s normal you’ll learn to control it soon enough.” he said sitting down on my bed.

I couldn’t help myself, something in me just wanted to touch him so I threw my arms around his neck in a tight hug burying my face into his neck taking in his scent. I felt Marcel wrap his arms around my waist.

“You can feel it now.” marcel said 

“Feel what.” I ask slightly pulling back.

“Our bond as mates.” he replied simply 

“Ahemmm.” I heard coming from my room door.

“Sorry Jay I forgot you were there.” apologized Marcel and I just smiled laying my head on his shoulder.

“Clearly.” Jay said sarcastically “Alright I'm gonna head out.” then went on his way. 

I lifted my head off of Marcel's shoulder as my sanity returned to me.

“No one can know that you're a hybrid.” he told me.

“Why?” I asked. 

“It’s just until you learn to control everything like shifting.” Tensing up immediately my mind drifted back to the pain I went through.

 “No, I don't wanna shift again, it hurts too much.”

“Once you get used to it you’ll be fine.” he tried to assure me but I wasn’t buying it.

“Did you find the one who did this to me?”  

He nodded his head 

“I’m hungry.” I say changing the subject. 

“What do you wanna eat?”

“Some ribs sound really good right now.”

“Well I guess that’s dinner.” He agreed. “Your parents are joining us.”

“Why?” I asked.

“They wanted to see you so they insisted on coming. But you can't tell them of your transformation yet.”

“My father is famous for his aura detection that’s unavoidable.” I replied.

“Well might as well face it now.” 

“I guess.” I shrugged knowing tonight all hell would break loose.

An hour later I’m looking in the mirror checking my hair and make up when the doorbell rang. “Time for the storm.” I said to myself. I walked up to the door as it rang for the second time unsure if I should open the door. 

“You good baby?” I heard Marcel walking up behind me.

“Yea i’m fine.” I replied, opening the door to face my parents. 

“Davina honey It's good to see you.” My mom hugged me. “You to marcel.” acknowledging his presence but her smile is no longer present.

 I looked at everyone until my eyes locked with my dad who had been staring at me like he had seen a ghost.  “Let's start dinner, yea?” I asked, trying to avoid his eyes.

Dinner was very quiet the first couple of minutes until my mom finally decided to speak up.

“Since no one is going to start I will.” Aaliyah started with a serious expression. “Marcel what are your plans when it comes to my daughter huh?” 

“Mom--” I tried to interrupt only to be stopped by my father.

“Quiet Davina!” my dad yelled, cutting me off causing me to jump.

“Instead of answering that how about you tell me what the fuck you did to my daughter.” My dad asked Marcel, his voice suddenly low.

“I told you he would notice, didn't I?” I said looking at Marcel. 

“What the hell is everyone talking about?!” Aaliyah snapped

“I’m a hybrid.” I said plainly. 

“A hybrid of what.” Aaliyah replied

“A werewolf.” My dad replied for me, his face completely unreadable.

“Yea” I said My voice lowered as I put my head down in shame.

My dad turned to Marcel with a glare that could kill if he wanted. “You allowed this to happen! You don’t deserve my daughter you fucking mutt!”

“Who the fuck are you calling a Mutt!” Marcel stood up, his face serious. “You obviously forgot who I am.” His tone was cold.

My dad rose to his feet as if challenging Marcel back. “I know who you are, I just don’t care.”

“Both of you stop!” I yelled out. 

“Davina, go pack your things you're coming home with us now.” My mom commanded getting up from her seat.

A deep growl erupted from Marcel. “She’s not going anywhere!” he snapped.

My dad was now in Marcel's face but before he could say anything Marcel punched him right in his jaw. “Who are you walking up on like that!” Marcel yelled out before my dad tackled him. It was an all out brawl between them, But my dad's magic won’t get him that far.

“Mom, help me stop them!” I cried out desperately.

“Never interrupt an alpha's fight honey, remember that.” My mother told me.

I heard a loud crack as I watched Marcel hit my dad in his ribcage. Not able to watch anymore I ran in between them pushing Marcel back. “Stop it! Are you trying to kill him!” I cried out.

“He challenged me and lost simple.” Marcel replied but what happened next he didn’t see coming as my hand connected with his face. 

“Now that wasn't nice baby.” He said with a small smirk on his face.

“Neither is fighting my dad! You hit him first I saw you!.” I snarled. 

“He had no business in my face to begin with.” Marcel replied in a cold tone.

My mom had heard enough. “I will no longer allow my daughter to be with a monster like you! My mother spat as she was focusing her magic to heal my father's ribs.”

“She's not leaving so you need to forget that.” Marcel replied “Be happy I spared your husband's life for the way he behaved tonight.

“You really lost your damn mind, don't talk to my mother like that!” I snapped at Marcel.

“Shut up Davina! It's your fault we're even here right now!” he yelled back and turned his attention back to my mother.

“Look I know I lost my temper a bit Aaliyah but it seemed you guys forgot who was really in charge over here.” Marcel said in a fake apologetic tone.

My mother looked at marcel“ This aggressiveness you have is not ok. I don’t want that around my daughter.” she replied.

“You know how this works Aaliyah you can’t keep my mate from me and to be truthful you wouldn’t make it out of the door.” he said matter a factly

“Oh my god.” I said sitting down burying my head in my hands. 

I snapped my head back up as I heard a loud bang which was Marcel being thrown through the wall by my dad who was now completely fine.

Marcel walked back in but in wolf form and he was pissed. Using my left hand immediately focused my power on my parents creating a barrier around them and my right hand was attempting to subdue marcel.

Marcel gave me a menacing growl before breaking free of my hold and leaving back through the hole in the wall.

I sighed, dropping the barrier around my parents. “I knew things would be like this.” I said as my eyes started to water.

“Do you finally see that he’s an untamed beast?” My father asked walking over to me

“He’s not usually like that dad I swear.”

“Well he was tonight. Whatever it is between you and that mutt its ends today.” My dad spat.

“”You don’t get a say in that I'm not going anywhere.” I looked both my parents in the eye. “I’m serious.” I clarified.

Marcel came back in his human form but he had an unreadable expression on his face. “Are you calm now?” I asked him and he nodded in return.

“Well davina if you really want to risk your life and stay then fine. Come home when you’ve realized you’ve made a huge mistake in not coming home with us.” My mom said walking out without even a glance back. My dad stared at me for a second longer before shaking his head and following my mother slamming the door behind him.

I couldn’t help it but I just broke down and the tears started running down my face as I cried. Marcel kneeled in front of me “I’m sorry about tonight. I may have lost my temper just a little.” he apologized

I snapped my head up to look at him. “I don’t accept your apology. I don’t think you're sincere.” 

“Baby You need to understand something about me. You father challenged me in my home” Marcel attempted to explain.

“I don’t care what he did! Let's not forget how you spoke to my mother then told me to shut up.” 

Marcel was quiet now but I wasn’t done with him. “ You literally have been a whole new person since I moved in. I don’t know this Marcel at all.”

“Nah I’m still the same. If you would have told your parents the truth when I asked you this could have been avoided.”

“Don’t try to turn this all on me Marcel.”

“I’m not, i’m telling you to own up to what the fuck you did!”

“If you don’t shut up your going back through the fucking wall!” I snapped getting up and started to walk away.

“You are being unreasonable, you know that!” He yelled after me.
