The King Alpha's Mate

*Jack's POV*

My patience is being tested as i sat in the dining table's chair waiting for my mate and her sister to come down. It has been minutes since i sent Gemer to fetch them from my room. Her father is sitting quietly on my right side, beside him are two of my pack member Jonil and Michael. Beta Matias is sitting opposite to me and so the three empty chairs on my left side is for Gemer and the two ladies, my mate and her sister.

Three of my best pack warrior's are outside on guard duty as we are always vigilant for our safety. Few more minutes have passed when I caught her scent getting closer, my nose slightly flared and my eyes a little sharp as i stare at the wide entrance of the dining room.

"Oh Daddy, I'm so glad you came".

Here she comes rushing towards her father as soon as she gets inside the dining room. In response her po father quickly stand up and met her before she could even passed behind me. I groaned in protest but i stay seated in my chair..

"I'm here Carmela, so sorry baby we were so worried about you but we have no clue where you are."

Charlie hugged her and kissed his daughter's forehead while trying to apologize on her situation. He tried to lower his voice for Carmela's ear only but as an Alpha of the wolves it is all vivid to me.

"It was a good thing that Alpha Jack and Beta Matias visit the house to inform us about you're location. Do not worry my dear you are safe, alpha Jack assured me. As well as our entire family".

He cupped my mate's face and gave her soothing words regarding the situation.

"Oh Daddy! I want to go home please take me with you".

Hearing that words from my mate's mouth made my patience overflow. Is that really what she wants?

"Enough! The food is getting colder.Carmela, take a sit beside me and eat. I don't want to hear anymore protest coming from you!

I slammed my right fist in the table which made all the utensils go up and down farther from each other and made the cups and saucer clanked.

"Carmela let's talk again later sweetie. Sometime after dinner, please go and have a sit beside Alpha Jack".

I saw how Charlie stiffened and cower to my angry voice and Carmela's face turned red. They should stop talking behind me like I didn't exist because it's disrespectful to me being the alpha and her mate.

"We apologize Alpha Jack, my daughter just missed her family so much".

I waved my hand dismissing his words.

"Let's start the dinner..come and sit Charlie".

Ignoring his apology I motion him back to his chair and he followed like a good man. That calmed me down just a bit. I watched at the corner of my eye as Carmela sat down next to me. She slightly trembles in fear and i know it is my fault. I then started taking the big serving spoon and focused on putting food on her plate.

"Ah...that should be enough Alpha Jack...thank you".

She managed to say looking down on her plate with half the vegetables and the other half some chicken felay. I drop the serving spoon back to the big plate with a clink.

Losing my appetite for normal food i turned to my glass of red wine and put it in my lips, i gulped down almost half of it and when i put it back in the table the cook Hadil immediately came to pour me some more.

There was no noise in the dinning room except for the sound of spoons and plates and the people chewing their food.

"Alpha i have already arranged for our flight the day after tomorrow is there anything you want us to do before that?

Beta Matias casually asked the question. I let his words sink in to the people around the table before I answered, i heard Carmela gasped in surprised. She drop both her spoon and fork from her hands to her almost empty plate.

"I will discuss it later with you Matias, thank you for telling me that. Do come to my library later this evening after you escort Charlie and his daughter back to their residence".

I have thought of more things to do before the said departure but I don't want to discuss it over dinner with a hunter's ear listening to us. It's not like I don't trust Carmela's Dad but it's better if he only have limited knowledge about our pack.

"I'm sorry...i am already full and i need to get some rest. Please excuse me..Hannah! can you follow me in the room please i have more things to talk about".

Carmela's voice sounded like a gurgle with an obvious lump in her throat. I can feel a little bit of her pain but i am more than glad for the news of our departure the next day. We have opposite reaction towards that news though.

"That's alright Carmela but don't keep your sister too long, they have to go back and Matias will drive them. But i need my beta to come back earlier for a very important discussion so make it fast".

I held warning in my tone, whatever she wanted to tell her sister it's not going to be of importance anymore. She won't be seeing her for a very long time or she might not see her anymore. Most humans that turned into werewolves can no longer find a connection with their previous human family even though they remains in their memories.

"Thank you Alpha Jack, I won't take much of Carmela's time. Just maybe some few girl talk and then my Dad and i will be heading home."

Her sister Hannah shyly said to me before following her sister up on the stairs. I just nod my head towards her.

After the two women left, i stand up and told myself I'm just going to do some paperwork work in the library. Humans do have a lot of things to be done transferring some assets to another person. Maybe it isn't complicated back in the Royal pack because there's only one owner of the entire place, and that's the King of Alpha.

"Thank you for the wonderful dinner Alpha Jack, and i hope you and my daughter will find happiness when the time comes". Charlie says with a hind of sadness in his voice. Now i know that he would miss his daughter but he can't do anything about her fate.

"You're welcome Charlie, and thanks to my cook Hadil, You enjoyed everything she did."

The old lady cook grinned from ear to ear.

"Thank you Mrs. Hadil". Charlie thanked the cook who is standing nearby.

"You're welcome Mr. White and no need to worry so much about Carmela because when we arrived in the palace i will be incharge of cooking her meals everyday."

Charlie just smiled a little to our house cook.

"Thank you for tonight Charlie and remember first thing tomorrow morning the documents of the Diner will be in your doorstep."

His eyes glowed and he gave a wide smile to me before he bowed his head a little bit.
