Sara's POV

"Who dares deceive me? I will not be tricked! One of you is an imposter!" Alpha Bowen is seething with anger.

Everyone in the ballroom stopped and moved back. Alpha Bowen, the other girl in red, and I remain at the center.

He growled as his wolf is ready to come out. He is so furious. I should be happy that he is not happy but I am honestly frightened. He exudes such power and command I have never seen in other alphas. He is different. I wonder why?

To my shock he approached the beautiful lady in red.

The girl looked like she's gonna cry. I can't blame her if she is scared too.

Then I saw the twinkle in her eyes. No, no.

She is not scared at all. She is nervous and giddy.

Again, can't blame her because Alpha Bowen is a sight for sore eyes.

Alpha Bowen swiped her red hair away and bent to sniff her neck. "Mate," he moaned and I rolled my eyes.

"What is your name and how old are you?" He asked Miss Pretty.

"My name is Trin Vanderbilt, Alpha Bowen. I just turned 19 yesterday. I am delighted to meet you. The rumors are true. You are the most handsome alpha ever." Trin sweetly expressed as she lick her lower lip.

Alpha Bowen took another sniff at her neck to her delight. Jeez, get a room already! Wait, did I sound like a jealous girlfriend? Not!

I was busy watching their private interlude when to my shock he starts to approach me. Oh no, you don't!

He was at arm's length when I raised my hands to halt his approach. He was taken aback!

"Sara Angela Martins, 22! And don't even dare sniff my neck! Back off, lover boy!" I warned him. The spectators gasp and the alpha king laughed aloud. Alpha Bowen is ready to erupt!

"How dare you talk to me like that? I am your mate and I have every right to touch what is mine!" He screamed.

Trin flinched as if hurt.

"Me, your mate? You aren't even sure, are you, thus this whole growling and who-is-deceiving-me drama?" I snapped.

He growled and swiftly gathered me in his arms. We were locked body to body. This is worst! Every cell in my body is disgusted. I tried to push him off but he is too strong as expected. He then dipped his head into the crook of my shoulder. He sniffed and kissed my neck.

"Get off me!" I protested and to my relief he did let go.

"Who touched you? I can smell another wolf on you? Who dared touched you?" He is livid. The crowd stepped back farther. The air in the ballroom got thinner.

What a jealous alpha, is all I could conclude. My thoughts were interrupted as he now lose all control and his wolf came out. Everyone was bowled over at the sight of his furious black wolf. It was snarling at everyone. It wanted the blood of the man who bears the scent over me.

I didn't know what to do. I was frightened like everyone else.

"Move away, everyone! His wolf is violent when severely agitated!" A man shouted. By the looks of it he could be the beta of Stone Pack because of how he knew his alpha's wolf.

Alpha Bowen's wolf ran towards me but his beta lifted his arms in a protective stance, as if to shield me from the threat. I scrambled to ran away, thankful for my brave savior.

"Pappy!" How could I forget Pappy! I cannot risk the safety of my grand father. I will not lose another loved one because of Alpha Bowen.

The place was in utter chaos as people rush to get out! Alpha King Adar transformed into his wolf form to protect the guests.

When I was near Pappy, I turned to wolf form and carried him at my back and ran off. The growls were still heard at a distance. What a horrible night it turned to be! The farther we are from that place the safer we will be.

When we finally got home I was really exhausted but relieved that we got away.

"He is one crazy wolf!" I fumed.

"An alpha is ten times more possessive than any ordinary werewolf. He was terrifying, yes, but he is acting as any newly mated alpha acts." Pappy said as if defending him.

"I am not his mate!" I shouted in protest.

"I'm sorry, Pappy. I didn't mean to shout at you. Alpha Bowen brings out the worst in me." I mellowed.

"Sara, if the moon goddess paired you with him, she has a purpose for this. She is never wrong, my princess." Pappy continued.

"If! Big IF! The other girl could be his true mate. She likes him. She can have him!" I proudly proclaimed.

"Any man will want and crave his true mate. Alpha Bowen needs to find out who among you two is his real mate, regardless if she wants him or not."

"Can a wolf have two mates?" I asked.

"Only twin wolves." He replied.

"Trin and I are definitely not twins." I paused. "That's why the alpha thinks he is being tricked. One of us is an imposter." I concluded.

"I'll just say I am the imposter! The end.

Everything returns to normal for us." I voiced my bright idea.

Well not so bright after all, when Pappy said, "Alpha Bowen will never forgive the imposter.

He will seek vengeance for the audacity of it all.

Trust is a big issue for him from what I've heard. "

"Why is this happening? I am having a major headache right now. I'll go to my room now, Pappy. Goodnight. I love you." I kissed him on his cheek.

"Good night, my precious. Should I be calling you Luna Sara, now?" He teased to my annoyance.

"Ugh! Charming, Pappy! Just charming!" I snide then flung a kiss.

I toss and turn on my bed. Sleep evades me. I am so disappointed my scone smelling mate is the very man I hated for years. There is a 50-50 chance I could really be his mate or the imposter.

How can I be an unknowing imposter then? It baffles me.

When sleep took over, a dream crept in. In my dream I was lying in a field of lenkacea flowers and I was profoundly contented....when I sat up I saw Bowen and Trin kissing.

I woke up with my heart beating oddly fast.

"He is not yours, Sara. And you do not want him, ever!" I reprimanded myself.

A rooster crowed, signifying the break of dawn. A new day.
