The Alpha’s Mate

On Friday evening, Elena and her friends packed their things and headed to the hotel where Oliver and his friends were staying. As the cab stopped near the elegant building, their eyes widened in astonishment. It was a five-star luxury hotel.

The hotel stood tall and grand, adorned with intricate architectural details that exuded opulence. Lush green gardens surrounded the entrance, showcasing vibrant flowers and perfectly manicured lawns. The façade boasted gleaming glass windows reflecting the golden hues of the setting sun. A grand entrance beckoned them in, adorned with a shimmering crystal chandelier that caught their eyes.

“I knew Oliver was a rich entrepreneur, but I didn’t know he was so wealthy to own such a luxurious hotel,” Milley exclaimed with a wide-eyed gaze.

“You’ve caught a big fish from the pond, huh Elena?” Piru teased, nudging Elena playfully.

“It’s not a fish, Piru. It’s a whale, a huge whale,” Cassie chimed in, joining the teasing banter.

“Tell us, Elena, how did you manage to catch a whale like this?” Cassie continued the playful teasing, causing Elena to blush and look away, feeling a mix of embarrassment and pride.

Elena cleared her throat, attempting to reduce the embarrassment, and called Oliver to let him know that they had arrived. “We are here,” she simply stated on the phone.

As soon as Elena ended the call, Oliver rushed out of the hotel, running towards her and engulfing her in a tight hug. She felt a wave of warmth and comfort as they embraced.

Meanwhile, Oliver’s friends, Reece, Mitchell, and Nick, stood outside the hotel, their eyes fixed on Elena’s friends. A primal growl escaped their lips as they recognized their mates, and they quickly rushed forward, enveloping them in strong, protective hugs and inhaling their scents.

Elena was so absorbed in the affectionate embrace with Oliver that she didn’t notice the intense reaction from his friends. Sky, who had yet to find his mate, stood there feeling slightly awkward amidst the display of possessiveness. After a few moments, he cleared his throat, trying to divert their attention.

“Are you guys planning to stay like this out here, or are you going to come inside the hotel?” Nick teased, his voice laced with amusement. Startled by the remark, the couple slowly broke apart, their cheeks tinted with embarrassment.

Realizing the situation, the boys picked up the girls’ bags and led them inside the hotel. As they stepped through the grand entrance, they were greeted by an interior that matched the splendour of the exterior. The lobby was adorned with marble floors and towering pillars, exuding an aura of elegance. A cascading waterfall welcomed guests, its soothing sound creating a serene atmosphere.

The girls’ eyes widened as they took in the sight of the extravagant furnishings and exquisite artwork that adorned the walls. The lobby boasted plush sofas and armchairs, inviting guests to relax and indulge in luxury. The air smelled of delicate fragrance, adding to the ambience of refined sophistication. Elena and her friends followed Oliver’s group as they made their way through the hotel.

“I have booked a different suit for you guys, in case you need it,” Oliver said as he and his friends guided them to the giant elevator and all of them got inside the elevator. As they stepped into the giant elevator, the expansive space seemed capable of accommodating an entire assembly, adorned with tasteful floral decorations that added a touch of elegance.

“Thanks, but I think we’ll be fine,” Elena chimed in, observing the intimate interactions of her friends with Oliver’s friends. Their affectionate displays were unmistakable, creating an atmosphere that momentarily excluded the newcomers.

“There’s one thing I can’t quite grasp,” Elena remarked, a perplexed frown etched on her face. “Why are they behaving like they’ve known each other forever when they’ve just met?”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Oliver, mindful of Elena’s unfamiliarity with the supernatural world, attempted a playful response. “Maybe they were just feeling a bit… amorous?” He offered a shrug and a smile, causing a gasp from one of the girls and earning a playful punch from Reece, followed by shared laughter among the group.

As the jovial atmosphere enveloped them, a subtle ping echoed within the elevator, signalling their arrival at the designated floor. Oliver took the lead, guiding them towards a revelation that further surprised the guests.

“This entire floor is reserved for us,” Oliver announced, leading the group to their rooms, each one appointed with lavish amenities and luxurious details.

After giving Elena and her friends a tour of the floor and assigning them their respective rooms, Oliver led them all to his room, where they had planned to have a movie marathon. Oliver and his friends headed to the kitchen to grab some drinks and snacks, leaving the girls to bicker and debate over which movie to watch and what food to order from the hotel.

As Oliver made popcorn in the kitchen, he couldn’t help but bring up a question that was lingering in his mind. “So, Elena’s friends are your mates, right?” he asked, looking at Reece and Nick, who were busy pulling beer cans from the fridge.

Reece nodded, a mix of excitement and nervousness evident in his expression. “Yes, who would have thought? Fate has a funny way of bringing us together,” he replied, placing the cold beers on the countertop.

Sky chimed in, his curiosity getting the best of him. “They are from the Silver Wolf Pack, right?” he inquired, seeking confirmation from Oliver.

Oliver nodded affirmatively, his gaze fixed on the popcorn machine. “Yes, they are. It seems destiny has brought us all together for a reason,” he replied, stirring the golden kernels as they popped.

As the friends continued their preparations in the kitchen, Mitchel, feeling a tinge of concern, spoke up. “So, what’s the plan now? I mean, of course, we want to be with our mates and ask them to come to New York with us, but… will the girls agree?” he questioned, his voice filled with uncertainty.

A moment of silence fell upon the group. The question had caught them off guard. They had all been so caught up in the excitement of finding their mates that they hadn’t considered the challenges that lay ahead.

Just as Nick was about to respond, Elena’s voice cut through the air, interrupting their conversation. “Hey, guys, what’s taking you so long?” she called out, a playful tone in her voice. “The movie is about to start, and we can’t choose without you!”

The boys exchanged a quick glance before heading back into the living room, drinks in hand, a smile masking their concerns. They pushed the lingering question aside for now, focusing on enjoying the evening with their newfound mates.
