Writer's pov
At the packhouse....!
*Alpha prince!*
*Your highness!*
*Young Alpha!*
Everyone Xander walk past greets him as he enters the packhouse (a very big building with many rooms, where some pack members live... Though their have they own homes).
He simply nods at them.
"Hey! You!" He called a boy passing by.
"Alpha prince!" The boy stops in front of him with his head bowed.
"Have you seen Connor?"
"Yes. He and Tyler are at the dinning hall" he replied.
Xander nods and hurries off without saying thanks... he meets Connor and Tyler eating.
He sits in front of them and taps the table to get their attention... Connor stops eating and stare at him.
"Xander, please don't tell me you want me to join you for a run"
"I'm not here for that..I'm here for something bigger!"
Connor nods and turns his attention back to his food.
"How big?" He asked stuffing his mouth with some meat.
Xander hesitate and study their expressions... imagining if he'll sound stupid or if they'll laugh at him for the question he's about to ask.
"Why are you not speaking? How big is the issue you came for?" Connor asked again.
"And please don't tell me you want us to go fight some rogues...I don't want to get myself stained with their filthy blood now!" Tyler said.
Xander sighs and clears his throat....he adjust in his chair and lean forward a little.
"Do you know how to court a girl?" He asked.
Connor and Tyler stops eating and exchange looks...then frown in confusion.
"Court?" Connor asked.
Xander nods.
"What does it means?" Tyler asked.
Xander frowns slightly and shakes his head negatively.
"I don't know! William said humans do it before marriage!"
"Humans do it before marriage...then what has it got to do with you?" Tyler asked again.
Xander leans back on the chair and crossed his arms around his chest.
"My mate is human and she knows nothing about us...so william suggested I court her first and make her fall in love with me... before we tell her!" He explained.
Connor and Tyler nods in understanding...silence fell on them.
"So do you have any idea how I can court her?" Xander breaks the silence.
"Nope!" Tyler simply replies.
Xander turns to Connor...he busy chewing on his meat, trying to swallow the bone if it's possible.
Xander taps the table and he flinched and looked up at Xander instantly.
"What?"
"Tell me.. what should I do to court her?"
He shakes his head.
"I don't know!"
"You don't know? Then how did you court your mate?"
"Young Alpha, my mate is a wolf like me...I didn't need to court her" Connor said.
Xander closes his eyes and inhale deeply.
"I think I have an idea what this court means!" Tyler said.
This got Xander's attention...his eyes snaps open and he quickly leans forward. Even Connor gave his attention to him.
"I think it means dating...or something like professing your love to her" Tyler explains.
Connor nods and bangs the tables a bit too loud.
"Professing love? That's my specialty!" He exclaims.
"Then enlighten me!" Xander orders him impatiently.
Connor drops the bone in his hand back in the plate and pushed it aside...he takes a deep breath.
"The first step of professing love to a girl is...be direct!" He paused and smiled.
Tyler and Xander look at each other with frown lines on their foreheads... Tyler turns to Connor and blink.
"Be direct?" Tyler asked.
Connor nods.
"What does that mean?" Xander asked.
"Don't beat around the bush...just go straight to the point... tell her you love her...girls like guys who are bold and courageous to express their feelings!"
Xander nods...he knows nothing about love or how to profess love...but this is his mate, he's got no choice but to learn.
Tyler narrows his eyes.
"No! I don't think your idea is correct" he said.
Connor scoffs.
"What do you know? I bet you, this is a killer's move... Xander will get her with this move"
"I don't think so. If I were her I would call you a lunatic, I mean imagine...."
"Do you have another idea?" Connor cuts him off.
Tyler shakes his head.
"No, but we can come up with a better idea"
"That's why I said it's the first step, the second step....."
"Stop!" Xander interrupts Connor.
He gets up with a smirk.
"I don't need a second step... I'll go by the first step!" He said.
Connor nods... Tyler simply shakes his head.
"Young Alpha...I don't think that's gonna work!"
"It will!" Xander said with full confidence.
He turns to Connor and taps his shoulder gently.
"Thanks, buddy...I should go make arrangements for tomorrow!"
"Xander, you....."
Xander doesn't listen to whatever Tyler has to say... he's already heading toward the exit of the packhouse.
Tyler sighs dramatically.
"Tomorrow is gonna be an epic fail for our dear alpha!"
"You can't be so sure" Connor pipes in.

Dex's apartment....! 8:15pm...!
Micah adjusts himself and balanced Alexa's head on his shoulder...he reaches for the remote and turn off the TV.
Just then William walks in...he halts when he sees Micah and Alexa in the living room.
"You're back!" Micah said.
"Yeah...why is Alexa sleeping on your shoulder?"
"Oh, she wanted to wait for you"
William chuckles lightly and throws his car key in the table...he leans down and caresses her cheek.
"How did it go? Are they sending us away?" Micah asked.
"No, they can't send their future Luna queen away" Will replied.
"Then what did they say?" Micah asked anxiously.
"Well, I told them the truth...what actually happened!"
Micah nods... Alexa yawned sleepily and adjust and almost falls... Will was quick to catch her.
He carries her and head to her room... Micah following behind with her slippers in his hands.
William tucks her in and kisses her forehead... Alexa opens her eyes and sees him.
"Will?"
"Yeah!"
"You're back?"
"Yes!"
"Hmm!" She hums. "I was waiting for you!" She said quietly.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting"
She simply nod.... Micah walks in and drops her slippers on the door of her bed.
"Go back to sleep...you have school tomorrow!" Will told her and kissed her forehead again.
Micah also leans down and kissed her forehead.
"Good night..baby!" They both said simultaneously.
"Good night!" She smiles and goes back to sleep.
Micah turns off the lights in her room and they step out.

Alexa's pov
The next morning...! 7:23am...!
I stands in front of my mirror and check out my outfit...I'm wearing a knee length white gown...a pair of ballad shoes.
I smiled in satisfaction...i leave my hair in a messy bun...I carried my bag and rushed out of my room.
"Good morning, sweetie!" Micah greets me...a tray of cookies in his hands.
An apron around his waist...I frown and look around.
"What are you looking for?" He asked.
"I wanna check if I'll see any pigs flying!"
He laughs lightly.
"Flying pig?!"
"Yeah! You cooking only means pigs have started flying!" I said.
He glares at me playfully.
"Ok, I'm not gonna give you any of these!" He said.
"Oh! Thank you! You just saved me from eating poison!" He tease him.
He rolls his eyes and packs some cookies in a takeout and gives it to me.
"I know you're already late and won't have time for breakfast" he said.
"Awwn! What a caring brother!"
He smiles.
"Don't I deserve a kiss for that?"
I nod and gave him a short kiss on his cheek. I look around and noticed Will is missing.
"Where's Will?"
"He's gone to work"
"So early?"
"Yeah... he's got some emergency!"
I rolled my eyes...doctors! Micah take off his apron and drops it on the dinning table.
"Come on, I'll drop you off!" He said and leads me towards the door.
I open the door and steps out... I halt abruptly and turn to Micah with a frown.
"What's going on?" I asked totally surprised.
He shakes his head.
"I don't know!" He answered equally surprised.
I looked forward at the scene in front of me... two boys held a big banner with these words written on it.
*I love you, Alexa! Will you marry me?!*
I just got here.. I don't know anyone yet.. who could be loving me? I wonder.
Then I saw someone wearing a mask walks forward and stands in front of the banner... Holding a banquet of roses.
He smiles and slowly takes off his mask... wait, are these people acting a film?
Cause this whole scene feels like those in the movies!
He takes slow steps towards me and my eyes grow wide in shock... I grab Micah's arm.
"This guy... he's the crazy guy that called me his mate!" I whisper in his ear.
"Stop saying he's crazy!" Micah whisper back.
Micah turns to the crazy guy and smiles and bow slightly... Why is he bowing?
The crazy guy stops in front of me and stretch out the roses to me.
"For you!" He said.
I looked at him strangely... Is this guy a lunatic?
"I'm Xander and I'm here to court you!" He said.
"Court me?" I asked myself quietly... But I'm surprised he heard me and nods.
I looked at the banner behind him and look at the roses in his hands...he smiles at me.
"I love you and want you to marry me!"
"What century are we?" I asked no one in particular.
"21 century!" He answered.
Ok...this guy seriously got some mental problems.
"Hey! Crazy guy...take your flowers and banner and leave!" I told him.
"You don't like this arrangement? I can make another one"
I stared at him a few minutes...I shake my head and turn back to Micah.
"Let's go!"
He turns to Micah.
"I'll drive her!" He told Micah in a firm voice.
Why do I feel like he's commanding Micah? Micah looked at his car and nods quickly.
I glare at Micah with my mouth slightly open.
"Are you willing to let a stranger drive me to school?!" I grit out.
"He's not a stranger..he actually took permission from Will and I to court you!"
"And you agree? Without asking me?"
"Alexa, calm down, I...."
I huffed...what is wrong with Micah and Will recently.. they're acting weird lately!
"Forget it! I'll walk to school myself!" I said angrily and marches towards the direction of my school.
I didn't make it far from our porch before the crazy guy embraced me from behind and sniffs my hair.
"Are you a dog? Let me go and stop sniffing my hair!"
"I'm sorry if you don't like this arrangement! I can make another one!" He murmurs.
I struggle in his hold and manage to pull away from him...I turned to him with a glare.
"Crazy guy listen! I don't know you...we don't know each other...stop harassing me or I'll press charges against you!" I threatened him.
"I'm not harassing you..I'm courting you, just accept me"
He calls this courting?
"Stop courting me! I won't accept you..I hate you!"
I hear him whimper immediately I said those words...he whimpers like a real dog. Maybe I should call him dog from now onwards.
I turned away from him and starts walking...he quickly follows behind me.
I stop and turn to him.
"If you're a puppy dog..then follow me!"
I starts walking again and he follows me too....this guy has lost his mind, I must find ways to escape from him.
I increased my pace and soon I'm running...I still hear his footsteps behind me.
God! What did I get myself into I'm this town?!
