Alpha's Awaited Mate *Re-uploaded*

Chapter Five.

Leon

"Leon!"

A voice shouted and before I could even see who it was, a body jumped over the table, tackling me. But luckily, I was sitting on my chair so in the end, the force only pushed the chair back. Small arms wrapped themselves tightly around my neck.

I looked down at my small attacker, only to see a head of familiar strawberry blonde hair.

"Bella. Shouldn't you be in school?" I asked with a chuckle and she pulled back, her small lips in a pout but then it turned into a smile.

"I con- conv-"

"Convinced?" I supplied and she nodded eagerly. I chuckled and pinched her cheek. "Sneaky girl. Is there a reason why you did that?" I asked and she nodded eagerly again.

"I want to learn everything!" She said and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Everything?" I asked and she nodded. "Everything." She repeated. I smiled mischievously and opened my mouth but then a voice stopped me.

"If you're going to tell her what I think you are, please don't." My mate suddenly called and I chuckled, looking at her over Bella's head.

"She said she wants to know everything." I said with a chuckle and Jennifer gave me a look.

"I hardly doubt your 'everything' and her 'everything' is the same." She retorted and I chuckled.

"Sorry. I was just messing with her." I said and Jennifer gave out a reluctant chuckle. Today, she was wearing something similar to what she had worn in the day of the interview, but today, her shirt was white instead of the pink. I couldn't help but admire how beautiful my mate looked in working attire. Her clothes weren't figure hugging, yet they were modest enough to show the slightest hint of her curves.

"Leon, tell me!" Bella whined, snapping me out of my admiration. That's when I noticed that my mate was blushing brightly, looking away. My cheeks burned when I realised I wasn't being subtle in my admiration. Bella tugged on my suit jacket and I looked down at her. Before I could say anything, Jennifer cleared her throat.

"Um, I'm going to get to work. I hope you don't mind Bella. She's very demanding when she wants to be... Just give me a call if she becomes a trouble." Jennifer said before exiting the office and I looked down at her daughter. I picked her up and placed her on the table so that she was sitting on the desk instead of standing on my lap.

"What do you want to know, Bella?" I asked and she smiled brightly, knowing she won.

"How can we do this? Turn into wolves?" She asked and I sighed, knowing by the time she's done questioning me, I might as well be an old man in his late eighties.

"You see, Bella, many, many years ago, there was a Royal family. They were humans like your mom. In their era- time." I corrected myself for her to understand properly. "Werewolves didn't exist. It was only a story for them." I said but Bella interrupted me, frowning.

"Is this one of the stories where one man wants all the power?" She asked. I looked at her surprised but then shook my head with a laugh. "No. It-"

"What is it about then?" She asked and I gave her a look.

"Do you want to listen to the story?" I asked and she smiled sheepishly at me. "Sorry." She said and I chuckled.
