His Alpha Female
Chapter 27

SELENE

"Princess! You're here" my dad exclaimed with smiles all over his face as he pulled me in for a hug, I immediately wrapped my hands around him tightly "I've missed you, Princess" "I've missed you too, Dad" I replied as we both pulled away from the hug, "where's mum?" I asked, looking over his shoulders to see if she was lingering behind him but I didn't see her.

My dad cradled my face in his hands and made me face him "your mum is in the kitchen, cooking. Don't be apprehensive, she's fine" he said as if he read my mind and I let out a deep breath. "Okay Dad" his gaze lingered on my face for a while before he nodded, and diverted his gaze to Drystan, who has been standing behind us quietly all this while.

The moment Drystan made eye contact with my dad, he bared his neck a little in respect before looking back up at him "Good day, Alpha Reid, it's a pleasure to see you" he greeted with a smile tugging on his lips.

My dad frowned at his words and refused to say anything back till I nudged his sides, he glared at me before he turned back to Drystan and nodded "yeah, welcome to Blood Moon" he spat out as if the words burned his tongue, "let's go inside, Princess" he said and linked our arms together and walked into the house, I glanced behind me and mouthed an apology to Drystan, who smiled warmly at me.

I dragged my dad into the kitchen when we got into the house, despite his whining that my mum was okay. But true to his words mum was okay, she stood by the gas stirring something in the pot as she dished out orders to the omegas. The moment the omegas caught sight of me, they all immediately bared their necks. "Mum!" I called out excitedly when I saw her looking hale and hearty in the kitchen.

She turned towards me and for a moment she was surprised, but her surprise immediately turned to excitement and she spread her arms open for me "Selene" she called out sweetly and I rushed into her arms.

"I've missed you, mum," I said to her and she gently patted my back before pulling away from the hug and cupped my cheeks with her hands.

"Me too," she said and placed a kiss on my forehead "it feels good to have you here," she said and a wide grin appeared on my face.

She was still looking at me and smiling when she caught a glimpse of Drystan, she turned towards me and her mouth made an O shape "he came with you?"

"Yes ma" I replied and she shook her head lightly before she let go of my cheeks and walked over to him.

"Beta Drystan" she acknowledged as she got closer to him, he looked up at her and smiled widely before he bared his neck for a while.

"Good day, Luna" He greeted "how have you been?"

"I've been okay, thank you. It's nice to see you here" she said and my dad gave her the stink eye; which she perfectly ignored "Likewise, Luna"

I watched them exchange their pleasantries and converse for a while before I decided I'd given them enough time and then I walked up to them "okay I'm sorry to disturb the family reunion and pleasantries, but I have a really important question" I announced and everybody's gaze turned towards me.

"Let's move to the living room, the omegas' necks are about to snap" my dad mind linked me and I gave him a sly smile, the others probably got the message too because they began walking off to the living room.

When we were all seated in the living room, I cleared my throat to fully get everyone's attention and when I was sure I had their maximum attention I began speaking "so, Dad you called me the other day with such urgency that you have something to tell me that couldn't be discussed on the phone, but since I got back I've not seen anything of urgency. So what really is wrong?" I asked and the room became deadly silent.

My parents turned towards each other and held their gaze for a while, till my dad gave my mum a reassuring nod then turned towards me and forced a smile on his face "That's true, princess, but I don't think it's the best time to discuss all this. Go up and freshen up, we can discuss this over late lunch. You too Drystan" he said.

"Okay," I said after being quiet for a while, I turned towards my mum and sighed, she has been quiet and deliberately avoiding my gaze ever since I asked the question but I couldn't bring myself to point it out, yet "let's go, Drystan," I said to him and I began walking up to my room, he quickly caught up with me and quietly trailed behind me.

When we got to the door of my room, I suddenly felt nervous and insecure to show Drystan my room. I began to think of all the reasons he wouldn't like it, and begin to judge me or tease me about it, but I shook all the thoughts away and I placed my hand on the door handle, but I couldn't seem to open the door. I turned my head around and looked up at him with a fake smile on my face, he raised his eyebrows and gestured towards the door with his head "go ahead, open the door" he said in a tender voice but it felt threatening to my ear.

"I will!" I responded defensively and without giving it another thought, I pulled the handle and opened the door.

A gasp left my lips the moment I walked into my but I immediately covered it up with a cough, my room went from a small princess room to a queen-themed room. My room looked bigger, my bed was bigger and the decor of my room completely changed, I had no doubts it was my dad's doing and I guess he probably did this after I ranted to him about my room back at Mooncrest pack.

A small smile tugged on my lips and I quickly said "thank you" to him, through the mind link.

"Your room is beautiful" Drystan complimented after a few minutes of silence and I turned towards him with a proud smile on my face.

"Aww..thank you," I said and shyly patted my hair, he gave me the side-eye before he rolled his eyes at me.

"Yeah yeah, which door leads to the bathroom and where are our bags. I need to freshen up" he said, still looking around my room.

"That's the bathroom door, and that's the closet. Our bags are probably in there" I said, pointing out the doors to him. He glanced at the doors and nodded, then walked into the bathroom. The moment he closed the door behind him, I let out the sequel that I'd been holding in and I immediately jumped on my bed and pushed my face into the pillow, and let out another sequel.

"Oh my God! Eliana, we finally have a queen-themed room here too" I announced excitedly with a broad smile on my face as I awaited her response but minutes went by and her response never came.

A heaviness I couldn't fathom immediately weighed down on my chest and it suddenly became too hard to breathe, the happiness I felt just a while ago became a forgotten emotion as an unbearable sadness overtook me. My wolf was still nowhere to be found, and I had no clue where to start or who to talk to about it.

"I'm done, you should go and freshen up as well," Drystan said as he came out of the bathroom, My eyes zeroed on his bare chest but unlike any other day where I would have felt sparks and go all fan girl on him, I felt nothing. I nodded my head robotically at his words and stood up from the bed, I entered the bathroom and closed it with a loud bang.

I didn't pause to appreciate the new decor of my bathroom and just went straight into the shower and turned it on, and just like this morning, I let the water pour down my body and soothe my body. After a few minutes of doing nothing in the shower, I picked up my soap and began scrubbing my body.

When I was done, I dried up and secured the bathrobe on my body before I walked out of the bathroom. I met Drystan seated on the edge of the bed with just a pair of joggers on, my eyes raked over his body before they settled on his face and I forced a smile on my face for him before I proceeded to walk to the closet.

"I'm sorry to ask, but you lost your wolf didn't you?" He asked and I froze "we can't smell her on you anymore," he said and my eyes widened, that meant everyone else probably can't smell my wolf.

I turned around so fast to face him and to bombard him with questions but the swiftness of my turn, made my robe lose, exposing my naked body to him.
