Filed to story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel
And here I was being asked to come and assist the new young head of the family. To help him with his mate, his half witch half wolf mate. They were also having trouble locating some missing children that were taken by a group of warlocks that were led by his mate’s evil warlock father.
This was shaping up to be quite interesting indeed.
But, alas, this young new Alpha and his curious mate were not what had made my video call so interesting and surprising.
No, the thing that had interested me, excited me, and surprised me that day was the man named Shawn who had been in the background of the video call.
It had been such a long time since anyone seemed to call out to me. Not verbally of course, but spiritually. The man’s essence was reaching me even through the digital waves that were passing across the world from me to him and back again.
His heart was already calling out to me, he just didn’t know it yet. I know wolves needed to have the scent to make them notice their partner, but I was not the same as them. I was older, stronger, and more powerful. And in all my five hundred and twenty-eight years I never once felt a pull as strong as the one I was having for him.
His looks weren’t bad either, if I’m being honest. When you’re as old as I am then you’ve tried all types of people. Women, men, manly women, effeminate men, cross dressers, and of course people from every possible group of the shadow world. I would know good looking when I saw it, having seen the beauties of the world for the last five centuries. And Shawn was a beauty.
His eyes were a gorgeous gray that looked like the clouds blowing off the ocean right before a winter storm, and his hair, so bright in the light of that room, that hair that almost looked silver. The body I could see through his clothes was toned and slim, so athletic looking. And best of all, he had such an innocent look to his eyes, surely he couldn’t be as pure as he looked.
He wasn’t the only one in the room with that look. He seemed to have an identical twin brother there with him. But even though they looked the same, looking at the brother did nothing for me. That was another proof, another way for me to tell that this man, this Shawn, was meant to be mine.
Ohh, but I was beginning to look forward to this trip. And so, it was with those thoughts running through my head. My driver, a human subjugate of mine, was guiding us up the driveway at a steady, though agonizingly slow pace. I wanted her to hurry. I wanted to see that man in person.
*********THE NEXT COUPLE CHAPTERS WILL HAVE BOTH SHAWN’S AND DIETRICH’S POV OF THE SAME SCENES SO THE CHAPTERS WILL BE QUITE LONG, HOWEVER I THINK IT IS VITAL TO SHOW WHAT BOTH WERE THINKING AT THE TIME*********

When my servant, Marticia, pulled the car up to the front of the house I noticed that the young Alpha was standing outside, waiting for me. Standing with him was, presumably, his mate and three pack warriors.
With the trouble they had been having it was understandable that they would be wary and on guard when I arrived. Especially considering that the envoy I had sent to them recently had attacked them rather than helped them. I needed to make up for that blunder.
I should have known better. I should have gone to them personally. This was not a simple matter that I should have pushed off onto someone else. But I thought I was doing what was best, Octavius was the best at tracking among those in my employ. He should have been able to do his job properly, that fool.
But, if he hadn’t messed up then I wouldn’t have had the chance to see Shawn on that call and I wouldn’t be coming here to meet them all in person, so I guess things happen for a reason.
What saddened me was that the man I was seeking was not with those standing outside. I hoped I wouldn’t have to wait long to find him, I wanted to see what his reaction to me was going to be.
I couldn’t help but smile to myself as Marticia parked the car and walked around to open the door for me. Regardless of when I managed to meet that delicious looking man this was bound to be an interesting trip.
I stepped out of the car slowly and elegantly. I wasn’t trying to look pretentious, but I was just born in a different time and continued to hold myself a different way than most.
“Welcome Dietrich.” Joaquin called out in a friendly voice. There was already trust between the young Alpha and myself.
“Joaquin, so good to finally meet you. I have not been back to the States in close to thirty years. Your father had not yet sired you then. I am grateful for the chance to come and see you all personally, though I do regret the cause for it.” My introduction made sure to cite our histories as well as my regrets.
“Welcome to our home.” The lovely woman standing beside Joaquin spoke softly. I noticed immediately that little extra spark of life glowing within her.
“Ahh, the new Luna. I am so sorry I did not know that your Alpha had taken a mate. Had I known we could have avoided a lot of this trouble.” I paused for a moment, my eyes darkening as I thought of the trouble so recently caused. “But may I say that you are a very lovely woman. Joaquin is a very lucky man.”
“I am indeed.” Joaquin agreed as he grinned at me. I returned the grin easily. “Allow me to introduce my mate, and fiance, Riviana Cervantes. Riviana, this is Lord Dietrich Conrad, Vampire Emperor and a close friend of my family.”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” She smiled and nodded her head at me.
“The pleasure is all mine, my dear. Allow me to congratulate you on your upcoming nuptials.”
“Please, Lord Dietrich, I would be delighted if you stayed for the wedding.”
“There is no need to be so formal, Riviana, just call me Dietrich, and I most definitely would love to share in your most special of days.” I was smiling, I knew I was, but I had no intention of leaving anytime soon. If the pull from Shawn meant what I thought it meant then I may never be going home again.
After a few moments of smiling at each other I continued, adding to my congratulations.
“Also, allow me to congratulate the two of you on the upcoming addition to your family.”
“Addition?” I heard the man standing right behind the young Luna say questioningly.
“I am sorry, did I say something I shouldn’t have?” I felt saddened for a moment, my heart sinking.
“No, it’s no problem Dietrich, we just haven’t gotten around to telling all of the guards, with how busy things have been. David, Vincent, Riviana is expecting.” Joaquin smoothed my slip up over. My eyes lit with happiness as the men seemed to take joy in the news they just heard, and I had learned the guards names as well.
“Congratulations Luna.” The man who had questioned my words immediately spoke and grinned at his Luna. The other man was just smiling at her fondly.
“Shall we head inside then?” Riviana asked, looking a little more relaxed than she did when we had started.
Marticia and I joined the wolves on the beautifully adorned porch and followed them inside. The moment we stepped into the hall I heard a gasp. I immediately caught sight of Shawn, his gorgeous face and tender eyes. He had noticed my scent. That was all that I needed to know. He was mine and I was his.
