"Belonging to someone doesn't sound bad when they belong to you as well."

Marinette woke up with a head-splitting headache.

"Hangovers are the worst," she mumbled to herself.

"Yes, Bugaboo, I agree with you. Hangovers are indeed the worst," the voice of the blond Brta came from the doorway.

"Adrien, it is way too early for your stupid taunts," Marinette said as she shot daggers with her eyes towards Adrien, only causing her headache to worsen.

The Beta held up his hands, surrendering. "Well, I came here to give you these," he held up two aspirins and walked towards Marinette's bedside table.

He poured her a glass of water and kept it beside the aspirins.

"Why don't you freshen up? Everybody's waiting for you downstairs."

"Okay," Marinette nodded.

After Adrien left her room, she quickly drowned the aspirins with water, which somewhat relieved her pounding headache.

God! I stink, Marinette thought. Deciding she needed a shower, she walked towards her closet and picked something comfortable.

She chose a grey Calvin Klein bra with some high wasted grey sweat pants, and to top it off, she added a grey cardigan.

While being in the shower, Marinette's thoughts went to what happened the previous night.

After reaching her house, Marinette tore off the dress, leaving her in her bra and bicycle shorts.

"Why did you wear bicycle shorts under a ballgown,"  Rose, her wolf asked, her eyes rolling in disgust.

"Hey! You think that I would wear nothing under that ballgown, huh?" Marinette argued.

Marinette could feel Rose getting ready to throw a sassy comeback at her. Before Rose could do so, Marinette blocked her.

Marinette made her way to her home bar and took a seat. She served herself with two shots of vodka. She groaned as the alcoholic liquid went down her throat, burning it in the process.

By the time the others had reached home, Marinette was completely wasted. As Marinette went out to grab another drink, Gamma Kim whispered, "Oh no you don't."

He walked towards Marinette, snatched the glass from her hand, and threw it on the ground, causing it to shatter into hundreds of tiny little pieces.

He threw her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Marinette hit his back with her weak arms, which stopped after a while, indicating that she had fallen asleep.

He carried her to her room and laid her down on the bed, covering her with her blankets. He kissed her forehead and whispered, "Sweet dreams Mari."

・❥・

Damain woke up with his eyes bloodshot. Yes, the Almighty Alpha King had cried himself to sleep. As he looked at her shoes which laid beside him, he felt tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

Damain quickly freshened up. He walked to his study, where the Beta was already waiting for him.

"Good Morning, Alpha," Grayson greeted.

Damain subtly nodded, barely glancing in his direction.

(Noun) The fear of being hurt

1 week.

168 hours.

10800 minutes.

604800 seconds.

That's how long it's been since the invitations of the ball have been sent out. That's how long it's been since the funeral ceremony of Marinette's parents.

The ball has been programmed for tonight, that is, the 21st of November, 2020.

𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖

Marinette saw her reflection in the mirror. Content with her appearance, she went downstairs and waited for her Beta and Gamma along with their mates.

"Alpha Marinette," she turned around and greeted her Beta.

"Good evening Beta Adrien, Do you perhaps know how much time will your mate take?"

"Alpha, she is just putting on some last-minute touches," the Beta paused, "She'll be here in around 5 minutes."

In the nick of time, Adrien's mate, Kagami came down.

"Mari! You look gorgeous," Kagami exclaimed.

"Thank you, Beta- I mean Kagami. You don't look quite bad yourself," Marinette complimented her.

"Shall we go now?" Adrien asked becoming agitated.

"No, not right now. Don't you remember we also need to wait for Gamma Kim?"

"Ah, yes. How can I forget?" Adrien lazily commented.

As if he heard them, Gamma Kim came running down the stairs.

"Alpha, I am so sorry that I am late, I was finding my phone and I didn't realize the time," he apologized.

"I am letting you go this time do you understand?"

"Come in!" A masculine voice echoed throughout the room.

Alpha Damain's Beta entered. With a quick bow, he walked over to his Alpha's desk.

"So, Beta Richard, what brings you here," he asked in his husky voice.

Richard Grayson nervously looked around the Alpha's office, knowing that the outcome and the reaction to the news he was going to present will undoubtedly not be positive.

"Well?"

"Alpha, the council held a meeting regarding your mate's situation."

"And what did they say?" Damian asked impatiently.

"They said that they will be hosting a ball to find your mate. They’ll be inviting all the Alphas, Betas, Gammas along with their packs and their families to the ball. The invitations are being prepared."

Before Damian could object, Grayson quickly continued. "Even our pack's elders have considered this. Everyone feels they need a Luna who can take care of the pack while you are away."

Damian did nothing but laugh. He laughed so hard that Richard was getting more nervous.

"You think that hosting a ball will help me find my mate?" He asked, trying to control his laughter. "I have searched for her in every single pack in America. And you think that attending this ball will help me find her?" Damian asked, leaning back on his chair, clearly enjoying teasing his Beta.

Richard stayed quiet and put. He was afraid that if he uttered a single word, he would be off to the dungeons with Damian torturing and beating him up.

Damian had given up searching for his mate a year ago. He genuinely believed that his mate had died or even worse- he didn't have a mate.

Damien put on his cold neutral face as if what just happened was nothing but his imagination.

"Well, if the council thinks this is the best option, then let them host the ball. Let them send the invitations. I'd like to see how they will find my mate. You can go now, Beta."

Richard quickly bowed and walked out of the Alpha's study.

He called all the Omegas of their pack and ordered them to make the invitations and mail them to the respective packs.

"LET THE PREPARATIONS BEGIN!"

𝐃𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐎𝐌, 𝐀𝐓 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓.

Damian was in his room after dinner and was thinking about what happened today.

How can they hold a meeting without me? He thought, referring to the council and the elders.

"This bird is known as the Robin," the mother explained.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐: 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥〚 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖 〛

Sometimes you feel empty.

Sometimes you feel numb.

Some might say that both the feelings are the same. But are they?

No, they aren't.

Emptiness can leave a person feeling despondent, isolated, and anxious. Some describe the experience as an empty feeling in their chest. Feeling empty can sometimes manifest as a sense of loneliness, confusion about your life and goals, or lack of motivation to pursue anything.

Whereas, numbness can be described as a loss of sensation or feeling in a part of your body. It's often accompanied by or combined with other changes in sensation, such as a pins-and-needles feeling or burning. Numbness can occur along a single nerve on one side of the body, or it may occur symmetrically on both sides of the body.

Marinette felt neither empty nor numb. She felt something in between. Something that she has never experienced before.

She could feel herself burning. She could feel the emptiness in her soul. It was like a part of her was missing, and indeed something was missing. It was her mate. But Marinette didn't know that.

Marinette stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were empty and dead, not how they were previously.

She picked her jewels from her dresser and put them on. Again, she analyzed herself in the mirror. Honestly, if you asked someone how she looked, they would say beautiful. But did she feel beautiful?

No. She felt disgusting and foul, not elegant.

She kept gazing at the reflector, thinking about what happened to her. What happened to the bubbly, petite girl who adored everyone?

She was just sixteen when her parents died. And whose transgression was that? It was hers.

She reminisced the day when she, a 16-year-old bluenette, slithered out of her house in the midst of the twilight.

She knew her parents were going to be guarding the perimeter of the pack territory that night, so she had to be cautious while exploring the forest.

Marinette and her pack had moved to America a month ago from France due to a raging war between the packs there.

She had always loved the woods. They were so quiet and refined, but when needed they could rigorously wound someone.

Marinette heard someone move behind her. She quickly took on her combat position, ready to take down the invader.

A black wolf pounced to defend her.

"Father," she susurrated.

Then, another wolf pounced behind her. This time it was a white wolf.

"Mother," she whispered again.

Marinette watched the horror unfold, as a mob of rouges charged her parents, ripping their body parts out.

And then she heard her parents' last words, "Run! Run and get the pack!"

From that day on, Marinette was never the ball of sunshine that everyone knew.

After cremating the Alpha and the Luna, the Beta, Gabriel, took over. He notified Marinette that she would have to go to her Grandfather's place for preparing to become the first female Alpha of the pack.

"Belonging to someone doesn't sound bad when they belong to you as well."

Marinette woke up with a head-splitting headache.

"Hangovers are the worst," she mumbled to herself.

"Yes, Bugaboo, I agree with you. Hangovers are indeed the worst," the voice of the blond Brta came from the doorway.

"Adrien, it is way too early for your stupid taunts," Marinette said as she shot daggers with her eyes towards Adrien, only causing her headache to worsen.

Damain woke up with his eyes bloodshot. Yes, the Almighty Alpha King had cried himself to sleep. As he looked at her shoes which laid beside him, he felt tears threatening to fall from his eyes.

Damain quickly freshened up. He walked to his study, where the Beta was already waiting for him.

"Good Morning, Alpha," Grayson greeted.

Damain subtly nodded, barely glancing in his direction.

They walked into the study. While Richard was standing near the desk of his KIng and Alpha, Damain sat down in his humungous chair.

"Tell Alpha Marinette, I'll be visiting her today," Damain smiled. A genuine smile. One that he hadn't smiled in years.

Beta Richard nodded and scurried out of the room gracefully.

Within an hour, Damain and his people, which consisted of his Beta and some guards.

While he had expected his mate to come to greet him, there was none other than Beta Adrien.

"Where is my mate?' Damain growled.

"Sh-she had wok-woken u-up la-late to-today, s-so s-she h-has g-gone to take a sh-shower," Adrien stuttered. The wrath of the Alpha King had made the most ferocious Alphas go into hiding with their mates and children, so of course, a beta was nothing, he was bound to cower and stutter.

Suddenly the scent of freshly picked strawberries and homemade croissants along with a very expensive Chanel perfume hit him.

"Mate!" his wolf, Xavier yipped.

Damain followed the scent of his mate, only leading him to the living room of the house. And that's where he saw her. Her hair dripping, a towel around her shoulders, talking to the female Beta- Kagami.

・❥・

After an hour-long hot shower, Marinette walked downstairs for some breakfast. Just as she reached the living room, the scent of white musk hit her.

"Mate!" Marinette's wolf yipped.

She turned around to see a pair of dark emerald green eyes staring at her. Without thinking, she walked towards him, grabbed his face, and crashed her lips onto his.

To say Damain was shocked would be the oversimplification of the year, he was shaken. Without any hesitancy, he kissed her back with the same dominance, energy, and authority as her.

After a good minute of kissing, they pulled back and rested their head against each other.

Damain whispered, "Move in with me."

"Of course," she replied, liking the tingles spreading through her.

"I am letting you go this time do you understand?"

"Qui, Alpha. Merci," he thanked her.

"De rien."

"So Mari, are you going to ride with us," Kagami asked, feeling hopeful.

Marinette shook her head, "As much as I would love to ride with you guys, I prefer riding alone. And besides, I also have to test the new car that everyone got me, and besides, don't you think this is the perfect opportunity?"

"Okay, I guess," Kagami held her head in disappointment.

But Marinette did not hear her, she was already out of the room, going towards her new car.

Marinette needed to, no had to get out of the room. She could feel her anxiety rising to the peak. So, before she could have a mental breakdown in front of everyone, she walked out of the room.

Marinette grabbed her car eyes from the counter, heading out of the house. Just like Marinette, Gamma Kim also grabbed the car keys from the counter with Adrien and Kagami following behind him.

・❥・

𝔻𝔸𝕄𝔸𝕀ℕ

Being the Alpha King, Damain had to get ready on time to meet his so-called guests.

Just as he was finished, there was a knock at his door.

"Come in."

Just like a week ago, Beta Richard entered the room. With a quick bow, he walked over to his Alpha.

"Alpha, the ball has commenced. The guests are starting to come," he informed.

Damain sighed, "Okay. You go ahead, I'll be there in a few minutes."

Richard gave him a bow, as a sign of respect, and deeper than what was required by his rank.

Damain walked down one of the big staircases that were built to give a majestic feeling. The hall, the chandelier, the staircases, every single detail in this ballroom was exactly like it was in Cinderella. This ballroom was designed by his mother and as you can notice, his mother was obsessed with happy endings.

This was the place where she was crowned the Luna Queen, where she got married and this was the place she found out her husband, her mate was cheating on her by none other than her sister.

Based on his experience, hating this place came naturally to him.

・❥・

𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕥𝕥𝕖

Within an hour, Marinette and her group reached the required destination.

As she got nearer and nearer, her wolf-rose was jumping up and down in delight.

Both Damain and Marinette had a weird feeling something might happen, something.............good.

They were all greeted by Beta Richard, who was at the entrance, assuring that everyone had a bonne journee. (Good journey)

She felt this pull towards something. Something she couldn't make out, whether it was an object or a person pulling her.

Only time would tell, she thought.

And indeed only time would tell.

Marinette felt the distress of her wolf, more than ever now.

"Rose, are you okay," she asked.

"MATE! MATE! MATE!" Rose yipped.

She looked around the room. She did feel the bond, but it was too weak for her to follow.

She sat down on a nearby chair, hoping her mate might find her. She couldn't stand in these heels!

"EVERYONE WELCOME, THE ALPHA KING, HIS MAJESTY, ALPHA DAMAIN," one of the omega's announced.

Everyone clapped and applauded. As the Alpha King walked down the staircase, she could feel her bond strengthen. However, she stayed put, thinking that it was nothing but a coincidence.

After mingling a bit with everyone, the Alpha King walked in her direction.

"Would you like to have a dance with me, Alpha Marinette?" Alpha Damian asked

Marinette stood there thinking about his offer, debating if she should go. There was something unusual about him, it was just that she couldn't recognize what it was.

"Well?" he prompted.

Dismissing the weird feeling in her stomach, she took his hand in hers. As soon as their hands touched, sparks were flying around, making them both go crazy.

"Mine," they both growled.

She couldn't believe who her mate was. The Alpha King! No this can't happen. She was just getting used to the work of an Alpha and now her being the Luna Queen.

Noticing her distress, Damain asked, "Are you okay, love?"

"No, I'm not okay. I never was," she slipped her hand out of his and ran towards the entrance.

"GUARDS! CATCH HER! MAKE SURE SHE DOESN'T ESCAPE!" Damain dictated.

Granted the guards were fast, but Marinette was faster. As the guards were about to reach her, Rose took over. For more efficient running, Marinette took off her heels and left them, only to be picked by Damain.

In the end, Marinette reached her house safely with the help of Rose. And as for Damain, he slept with his Mate's shoes beside him.

Hey guys! Hope u liked this chapter!

"Female Alphas aren't very well-known, but they are not unheard of," he had informed her.

The Beta, The Gamma, and the Delta were all tutored and shaped by their fathers.

Deep in thoughts, she fell into another reverie

"Happy Birthday, ma chère Mari," Marinette's Grandma greeted her. Marinette just nodded. Candidly speaking, she never wanted to celebrate her 18th birthday, but her grandparents threw a party anyway.

"Mon amour, let go of the history and focus on the present. You are 18 now. You are going to find your mate and not to mention get your wolf soon. Moreover, let's not forget that you are going to be crowned the Alpha of the Miraculous pack in less than two years. You need to be strong and confident." Her grandfather encouraged her.

Marinette sighed, "You are right, Grandpa, Grandma. I have to stop staying in the past and focus on the present."

"That's my girl!" They cheered.

Marinette snapped out of her daze, as she felt an alone tear stroke her cheek. She swiftly wiped the unwanted tear and headed downstairs for the ceremony.
