Chapter 6: Finding Ashlyn Knight
Alpha Prince Mason Landon
I’m sitting in the meeting room with my father, Alpha King Arthur. I have my Beta, Brandon and Gamma, Liam sitting beside me. My father also has his Beta’s Henry, Thomas and Richard on the other side of the table and The Alpha King is, of course, at the head of the table.
We were discussing the winter semester at the academy. Brandon, Liam and I helped with the training. We were going through files of students whom we thought should move up and have a chance to enter the army. We also had a pile for students we thought needed more training. But of course, all of us couldn’t agree with anyone. We’ve been here for what feels like hours. We had 200 files to go through, and we weren’t even halfway through them.
“Okay men, how about we make three piles: the bad, the good and the really good? That way, we can at least know who needs another semester of training. Then we can go through the good and really good to see who we’d like to move up. This is taking way too long, and we still have classes to attend.” I tried to get things moving along.
“You’re right, son.” My father replied. But before we could agree to anything else, the meeting room phone rang.
“Yes?” my father answered. Whomever it was, was most likely looking for him.
“Are you positive?” my father asked sternly.
“I’ll be right down. Do not let her leave.” My father rose from his chair and all but ran out of the meeting room without saying a word to us. I looked over at Brandon and Liam, who also looked confused. My father is a king, he doesn’t run anywhere.
“Who’s her?” Brandon asked. The three of us all ran out of the meeting room and we noticed the elevator said “M” for the main floor.
“He must be going to the front desk,” I suggested. Liam hit the button for the other elevator. I am feeling anxious now. Who was my father referring to? My mother passed away a few years ago, and he doesn’t have women in his life. The door of the elevator finally opened, we hopped in and hit the “M” and the “closed door”.
“Do you know who your father could have been talking about?” Asked Liam.
“I have no idea,” I answered.
“Maybe he has a girlfriend?” Brandon commented.
“Yeah, maybe.” I stood there with my arms crossed over my chest. Could he really have a girlfriend? Why wouldn’t he tell me? I miss my mother, but I do want my father to be happy. As soon as the doors opened in the front foyer, my heart leaped into my throat.
“Who is the pretty young wolf your dad is hugging?” Liam leaned in to whisper to me.
“That’s can’t be his girlfriend? Can it? She looks younger than us.” Brandon leaned over to whisper to the other side of me.
He was all smiles with her. I definitely understood why. She was gorgeous, with long auburn hair, and I think I saw pink there too. She was fair skinned with some freckles on her nose and cheeks. She had plump peach lips. You could see her round, firm ass in her skinny jeans and her top was showing off her perfect cleavage. She had the most beautiful smile. Why was she smiling like that at my father? I walked over to my father, Liam and Brandon followed. I hadn’t seen my father smile like this since before my mother died.
“Oh son, there is someone I’d like you to meet. That is Ashlyn Knight. She’s the daughter of a very good friend of mine. Ashlyn, This is Mason, my son.”
I reached out to shake her hand, but when our hands touched, I felt a spark. My hand started to tingle when it touched hers. I masked my face. I’m not sure if she felt it. She also smells amazing, like a garden full of flowers after the rain. Thor, my wolf, hadn’t said anything, but he was purring in my head. I’m not sure what that meant.
“It’s nice to meet you, Mason.” She gave me a warm smile, and I felt like I was going to melt. She had the most beautiful smile, and I couldn’t help but smile back at her. Her emerald green eyes were sparkly, and I swear I could get lost in them.
“It’s nice to meet you as well, Ashlyn. This is my Beta, Brandon, and my Gamma, Liam.” I indicated to my beta and gamma. She greeted and shocked both of their hands and I almost growled when the others touched her. What the hell is going on with me? I have to get my s**t together.
“I want her, Mason. I can’t tell if she is our mate, but I feel a pull on her.” Thor growled in my head. “I don’t want anyone else touching her.”
“Thor, you can’t just claim someone.” I scowled at him.
“I can and I will claim her, with or without your help.” He growled angrily in my head.
“Ashlyn, why don’t you come to my office and we can get caught up?” My father asked her.
“Oh, my king, I’m sure you have lots to do. I wouldn’t want to trouble you.” She said politely.
“Nonsense. Nothing is more important. And please call me Arther. We are pretty much family, after all.” He seemed so happy that she was there.
“Of course, my… Arther.” She smiled at him while he led her to his office. I’ve never seen him this way with anyone before. While, of course, my mother, but this is different. He’s treating her like a daughter.
“Mason, would you like to come with us as well?” They both stopped and looked at me. I turned to my friends, “You guys go organize the reports and I’ll meet you in the meeting room.” Brandon raised an eyebrow at me and Liam was wiggling his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes at Liam and pushed him towards the elevator.
“Just go.” I walked over to my father and Ashlyn.
My father led us to his private elevator that leads to his office. While we were in the elevator, they were both chatting away, while I was stuck in my thoughts. Why would I have these feelings if she wasn’t our mate? Why did I feel a spark when we touched? I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. I’m 20 years old, and I still haven’t found my mate. Or even anyone I wanted to have a relationship with. Being a prince, you can’t just date. Most girls only want to be queen. They were just chasing the title I came with. It pulled me out of my thoughts when the elevator dinged and the doors opened up into my father’s office.
He led Ashlyn to the seating area. It reminds me of a living room. It has two couches, two chairs and a coffee table in the middle.
Ashlyn sat down on one of the couches. My father took the chair beside her and I sat on the couch that was beside him, across from her. My father leaned forward in his chair and took Ashlyn’s hands in his. His question to her caught me off guard.
“Ashlyn, where have you been all these years?”
