A Secret Alpha Mate

(Benjamin)

I am ecstatic and honestly a bit shocked that Hailey was mated to another Alpha. I thought she would have been mated t

someone lower-level and I would have had to force her to reject him and set up a more suitable match.

I was already prepared for that conversation.

Her being mated to an Alpha, especially from a pack as powerful and large as the Moonstone pack will not only strengthe

our family line but also our position.

Alpha Jackson was known for being a strong and cutthroat leader. I have to admit that even though he’s still young he is

someone that commands respect and has earned it. He's grown his pack substantially from taking it over a few years ago

and being our closest neighboring pack means that this alliance will be beneficial and easy to maintain.

I haven't had a chance to talk to Hailey alone yet but Julianna has been buzzing by my side all evening talking about

planning her Luna ceremony and already wondering about grandkids. Hailey appears by Julianna’s side out of nowhere.

“Where's your mate?” I ask, confused, they shouldn't be able to separate from each other at this point, or want to be

separated at least.

“He had to discuss something with his Beta and Gamma’ She shrugs taking a sip of wine.

“How are you feeling, love?” Julianna asks, cupping our daughter's cheek and beaming down at her.

“He's 50 hot” she gushes, “and I think he’s really rich, I can’t wait to become a Luna.’

“I'll teach you everything you need to know, baby. We're going to need to go shopping for a new wardrobe. Do you think

you'll leave with him after the weekend? Oh, I'm going to miss you so much but I am happy you're not going to be far awa

Julianna rambles on.

I look around the room and see that Alpha Jackson still hasn't returned, I'l pull him aside to discuss arrangements later.

check my watch as it is getting nearer to midnight.

“Ym going to go mingle, as should both of you. Even though you found your mate we still need to make a lasting

impression on all the visiting packs.” They nod at me and smile.

“Your father is right, even though you're taken now there's no reason why you can't break a few hearts.” She winks and he

I excuse myself to deal with our little omega problem. I make eye contact with Seth and give him a nod and he follows

behind me out the door.

The party is in full swing and I am loving the attention I'm getting from some of the visiting Alphas and Betas. I bet they

think I'm a ranked member by the way I'm dressed. Most head omega’s would be slaving away in the kitchen at these

events, but not me. I am the face of the omegas and want to put a good front.

I see my Alpha come back in the room as I'm talking to a visiting Beta. His eyes scan the room until they land on me and I

stalks over to me. Is he jealous? I honestly love that he is, this might make for an interesting night after all. I could

definitely play some games tonight.

“Please excuse us.’ He says to the Beta and I sneak him a sympathetic look when Benjamin wasn't looking at me. He pulls

me out of the ballroom and into the foyer grabbing my arm a bit too tight, I let out a yelp.

“Where the f**k is she?” He shouts at me in a whisper.

“Who are you talking about?”

“Isla, who the F**k else? She didn't show up and now I have been pulled away from the party for absolutely nothing and

Seth is in a pissy mood and I don't want him to f**k anything up.’ What did Seth have to do with itz

“I did tell her, Alpha. I'll find her I'm mad that I have to leave the party now, this b***h really doesn't know what's good f

her. Whatever they had planned for her tonight will be nothing compared to what Ill do when I find her.

I check the dining room and the few omegas that are left there haven't seen her so I head to the kitchen. It's a bit busier

here and everyone is bustling around.

“Hello,” I yell. Some omegas pause but they're all so busy the chatter is loud around me.

I stand on a chair and yell again, “Everyone shut up!” Most people pause now and the others soon follow.

“Where is Isla, I need to see her immediately.” There's silence and scanning the omegas. I don't see Isla among them.

“Hello, anyone?!”

Everyone looks around but no one says anything. I see the older omega that Isla is always around.

“You, yes you, come here’ The omega walks up to the front.

“Where is she?” I demand

“I haven't seen her for hours. Not since we were prepping dinner together, and then I was assigned to the upstairs to plat

the dishes in the prep area, so I wasn't working with her” She seems genuinely concerned so I have no reason to believe

she is lying.

“Has anyone else seen her? After dinner started?” Everyone shakes their head “F**k.”

“You! I point at the older omega again, “Go check the attic rooms and see if she’s there.”

She turns up the steps, but 1 don't have the will to wait around conducting a search party for an omega, not when there's

full-blown party upstairs.

“Everyone else I need to be notified immediately when she shows up. 1 don't know what you guys are doing or if you thin

this is a f*****g joke but my a*s is on the line if she doesn't turn up immediately. Now I am going to go enjoy the party.

When she is found 1 will be told. Does everyone understand?” I see some nods and I get off the chair and head out of the

kitchen. I hear confused murmurs behind me.

(Jackson)

As we're heading to go find my mate a beautiful almost middle-aged omega walks in the room and turns on the light. She

jumps when she sees us and screams.

“Wh-what did you do to her?” She asks backing away.

“What are you talking about? To who?” I ask

She looks frightened and confused but pulls herself together, “What are you doing up here?"

“Looking for my mate.” I smile sheepishly and hold up the pillow. A visible wave of relief washes over the omega. “Do you

know who sleeps here?” I motion to the bed at the end of the room.

“Isla does,” Isla, I turn the name over in my mouth, I can’t help a smile that forms across my mouth. “She's actually the

reason I'm up here, no one has seen her in hours." I can see the worry plaster on her face and know this is someone that

truly cares about my mate. I can't help feeling worried myself, but it's only a few hours and there's so much going on 'm

sure she's around here.

“What's your name?” I ask

“Abigail”

“My name is Jackson, and this is Cameron and Lucas.” They say hi and smile at her.

“Now, what do you mean no one has seen her? Is there somewhere she would go?”

“We all had assigned tasks in the packhouse and she wouldn't be one to try to get out of work ever. Wait what time is it?”

Realization washes over her face.

“It's past one in the morning”

“I think I know where she might be, she had a punishment - er a task, that she had to do in the forest at midnight She

turns to leave and we follow her, hating how slow she is going. A punishment? What would that even mean, I try to hold

back my anger and focus on getting her safe, with me. I know she’s hurrying but her pace is nothing compared to my spe

We follow her out the back door, “Which direction?” I ask, she points to the forest,

“There's a clearing we use for training out there only about a ten-minute walk or so." I take off in a run in that direction

with Cam and Lucas following right behind. We make it in a few minutes.

The forest opens up into a large circular clearing. I pause on the outskirts of it and sniff the air, I don't sense that anyone

here and I don't think my mate, my Isla, has been here at all. The clearing is dark, frustrated I head back to the packhous FE as
