****** An Alpha's Claim ******
by XOXOBlockMania_21
Summary
     In order to seal the pact between the Humans and Werewolves of Beacon
     Hills,
     the Human Prince Stiles Stilinski is placed in an arrangedmating with
     the Head Alpha to be, Prince Derek Hale by his father...
***** The Human Prince *****
All his young life, Stiles knew that this moment would come. Knew that he would
be placed in an arranged marriage of some sort. He just didn't know when it was
coming. Or who the lucky male or female would be.
It was always such a scary thought to know that his life would be planned out
for him. His mother had always tried to keep him happy and content with a life
she knew that he would never keep. He had found out as much one rainy night
when he was only around seven years old.
Thunder and lighting had flickered across the night sky. He had been too scared
to sleep in his room and bed so he made his way over to his parents bedchamber
only to find them talking- arguing in hushed voices inside. He stood by the
door planting his head against the hard cool wood there to listen in on what
they were saying.
"You can't do this to him! He's your only son, Noah!"
"Don't you think that I know that, Claudia! Don't you know how much this whole
situation messes me up! I don't want to do this to him but it must be done if
we are to gain the upper hand over our enemies!"
"The upper hand, huh. Real smooth, Noah. I'd rather the Argents merge with the
Hale Kingdom then to lay seige to my own son."
"You don't understand. As the King of these lands, I have to protect it, the
people living on it, and our family. Marrying our son to the Prince of the Hale
Kingdom will do just that, Claudia. As Queen you know this to be true as well."
"I can't believe that you are trying to justify your insensitive decisions like
that! The Hale Prince is a Werewolf! An Alpha Werewolf! I can't allow my son to
be married to such a atrocious monster. I will not."
"You can and you will. You are the Queen of this Kingdom. Our son will marry
the Hale Prince and you will stand by his side the entire time. Do I make
myself clear?"
After his father's last words, his mother said no more. Stiles ran all the way
back to his bedchamber and climbed in to the bed beneath the soft duvet. He
flipped on to his side snuggling under the duvet as the next set of thunder
clanged in the night sky and his bedchamber door swung open.
He could hear heel clicking footfalls walking up to his bed until someone sat
on the edge of the bed behind him. He knew that it was his mother even before
she had slipped her fingers threw his hair to try and sooth him from his fears
as she always does when rain storms passed over their Kingdom.
Stiles sat up jumping his mother with a tight bear hug as he cried and she
continued to stroke her hand through his hair humming his favorite lullaby to
him while her own tears of frustration fell from her eyes. That night his
mother slept in his bed with him but he didn't complain. He understood her
reasons for being upset with his father, even at such a young age.
In the days following that night, his father had him training to prepare him
for his marriage after he had told him who he was to marry of course. He was
forced to learn everything there was about being a good partner, mate, and wife
for the young Alpha Prince. He learned what mating a Werewolf really meant,
what mating marks were, and what would happen to his body after the Alpha would
turn him.
It was all so overwhelming, weird, and completely terrifying. Yet, all at the
same time he didn't want to disappoint his future Alpha. Or his father. He
wanted his future mate to be proud of him and his parents as well, so he did
everything he was supposed to do. And when he failed the first time, he made up
for it the second time around because just like his father, he wanted to
protect the people of his Kingdom and his mother. He knew what needed to be
done so he did it.
It was about nine years later when his father announced that he was to finally
meet his betrothed. His father told him to be ready for that meeting because
the Hales would be there by nightfall. A flutter of nervousness danced around
the pit of his stomach at the notion.
He was excited yet frightened all at the same time. He almost didn't know what
to do with himself until his mother came barging in to his room like a mad
woman, words of anger spuing out of her mouth as she does, "I can't believe
that your father did this behind my back!"
Stiles sighed wearily taking in his mother's furious gaze, "What did father do
without consulting you this time, mother?"
His mother hissed back in counter with Stiles cutting her off in the end, "This
meeting between you and the Hale Prince! He knew that I wouldn't agree to it.
He knows that I think that you are not ready-"
Stiles promised, "Mother, calm down. I am ready. Waiting to meet my future
husband for almost nine years has made me so."
The Queen pouted not happy with her son's response, to which Stiles interrupted
her once again, "But, Stiles, darling. You know what this meeting actually
means-"
The little Human Prince explained both his and his father's stand on their
situation so that his mother could get a better understanding of everything
because he knew that his father most definitely did a bad job of it, if his
mother's unyielding wrath had anything to say about it, "I do know, mother.
This means that he is ready to marry me before the eyes of our people. As
future King and the Head Alpha of his people, he knows how important this union
is to us all. We must not let the Argents infortrait the Hale Kingdom by
marriage. The Hales are more powerful than the Argents and our own Kingdom. If
they were to get ahold of the Prince by the act of marriage, they would destroy
us all, including the Hales themselves. He knows that we cannot allow that to
be. He knows that with a Stilinski at his side, he can do just that, even if I
must be married, claimed and mated, knotted and bred to do it."
"I know, but I hate this. What you must do for the good of two Kingdoms. It's
too much to be placed on such small shoulders. You are only sixteen years of
age, Stiles." the mother of one and Queen of there entire Kingdom finally yet
reluctantly agreed with her son and Prince.
"I know. However that is something that we cannot change. Go and apologize to
father. Please be the bigger person. I need both of my parents' support in
this." Stiles ordered his mother and the Queen pouted out her displeasure but
she conceded to him with her next set of words, "How did you get to be so wise,
my beautiful baby boy."
"When my father asked me for my help. Now please go back to the man. He needs
you right now." Stiles smiled softly when he spoke and his mother gave him a
withered smile in return before leaning down to peck his forehead then she left
the room. He let out a relieved sigh leaning back in to his chair as his
hairstylist and makeup artist came up behind him and began to fix his hair and
makeup. After they were done with that his handmaidens who are his best friends
entered the room at their departure.
Stiles nervously twitched as his best friends, Lydia, Erica, and Kira fixed him
up properly for his first official meeting with the Hale Royal family. They
helped dress in his finest materials. The new ones his father had made for him
in different shades of blue from light blue to the darkest of the color. It was
a traditional Omegan styled gown that showed off his figure well. Made in order
to please the young Alpha and gain his attentions towards the Human Prince. And
Stiles hated it.
He felt like he was being treated like a girl. Okay, so he had extremely long
hair, but it was only long like that until he would reach the age of adulthood.
then at a special coming of age ceremony, his hair was supposed to be cut to
show his people that he had now became a man. Yet now, he wasn't so sure if he
would ever be allowed to participate in the ceremony because the Omegas of the
Hale pack kept their hair long as was tradition in their Kingdom. Not that
Stiles was completely upset about that notion. He had long since gotten used to
having long hair.
Tonight his father had planned a grand banquet for such a rare occasion as this
one. All things considering that this was the very first time the two families
had ever joined together in celebration. Especially since their respective
Kingdoms had only be warring with one another for a long period of time.
Nevertheless, Stiles knew- had a feeling deep down in his bones what this
evening was really all about.
The noise of the doors to his bedchamber opening up startled all of them as
King Stilinski stepped forward. A huge smile adorning his face for once instead
of the normal irritated scowl or frown. Stiles gave his father a fake smile
back whilst they all bowed before their magnanimous King with the highest
respect due to his Royal position in Beacon.
"You look beautiful. A pure vision of your mother when she was about your age
the day I first met her." his father and King stated proudly of his appearance
then asked if he was ready for his meeting, "Are you ready for this, Stiles?"
Stiles calmly answered his father but inwardly panicked because this was it,
the moment he'd been prepared for since he first found out about his betrothal
to the Alpha Prince, "As I'll ever be, father."
"Okay, come now. Our guests await your arrival, my Princess." The King said as
Stiles readily took his arm. He gave a calming smile to the girls before his
father guided him out of his bedchamber to his awaiting future.
***** The Alpha Prince *****
Derek can still remember the smell of her- of Paige from before. It had been
ripe with adoration and love. Now it was clogged up by disgust and dislike. And
to this day, he still for the life of him, can't understand what suddenly had
happened to make her scent change like that.
All things considered that just a day before her scent had changed from the one
he loved to one he didn't completely understand, everything was going perfectly
smooth between the two of them. He had just purposed marriage to her and she
had been so elated at the idea of them finally being tied together forever.
Especially after them courting for so long. Longer than most couples their age.
Or at least he had thought that she had felt that way until the very next day
when Paige had shown up at his palace's courtroom thrusting the engagement ring
he had previously given her back in to his hand in clear yet utter confusion
worthy outrage.
They were not alone so after that first outburst, he had dragged her away from
the view in front of their many spectators to their secret meeting place which
was the palace gardens to privately talk away from the gossiping eyes of the
ton. Yet she had refused to let him get a clean word out. She had even
physically lashed out at him by giving him a rather hard slap then marched out
of their secret place without even giving him a chance to explain anything or
himself.
A few days later, at the grand ball his family had already planned out and he
had previously wanted to announce his engagement to Paige at, he saw and heard
her crying on Lady Katharine Argent's shoulder about how much of a true louse
he was. From there on, he had put two and two together analyzing the fact that
Kate had it out for him but on the upside, he was glad that she had showed him
that a girl like Paige would never be fit to marry in to the Hale line.
Avowedly, Kate had saved face for him without even meaning too. He sat back and
laughed at that. It was almost poetic in a way. The perfect justice for his
wronged heart.
Months down the line, he had manage to push what happened with Paige and Kate
to background of his mind when he began training to be the next King of Hale.
The title of Heir would've been handed over to his older sister Laura, if there
had been no other Alpha born children. Specially male born children. Like Derek
himself. Considering the fact that Queen Talia was married in to the Hale
family, not born in to it. Which made Laura's succession to the throne
unviable, unless their mother was an actual Hale Heir. To which she was not, so
according to the law of the lands, Derek Hale was to be the Kingdom of Hale's
next ruler, not his older Alpha sister.
Derek had not really wanted their father's throne at first, but Laura had
asked- begged him to take it and he did. Then a few years down the line, he was
forcefully betrothed to the Stilinski Royal Heir by his very own mother. Her
reason for doing so was because the Kingdom would need a future heir from his
loins and she knew that after Paige, he would mostly likely never take a bride
on his own. And his mother unfortunately was always right. Now here he was in
the Kingdom of Stilinski awaiting the arrival of his young bride.
The doors to the chamber opened and the entire place suddenly fell eerily
silent. All eyes trained towards the doors. There standing tall at the doors of
the chamber stood his future mate with his veil covered head bowed, dressed in
the finest blues Derek had ever laid his eyes upon. His father standing proudly
at his side.
Slowly the boy lifted his gaze through thick lashes, taking a polite bow before
everyone's gaze as he carefully does so. The boy- his bride stood straight once
again taking a soft step foreword in to the chamber with his handmaidens at his
back with his every slow step.
King Stilinski finally deciding to address him as they walk, "Prince Hale, I
would like you meet my son, Prince Mieczyslaw Stilinski."
Derek smiled with a gracious bow in response, "It is an honor to finally meet
one of such a rare beauty like yourself, my Prince."
His future mate said, voice soft as a whisper, "Stiles is fine, Prince Hale."
Derek gave a hearty laugh as his own mother stepped up behind him practically
beaming with radiance, "So is Derek."
A warm smile over his mother's lips, "Oh, my! Aren't they just a wonderful
sight to behold?"
Queen Claudia said rudely back in response to her statement standing at her
husband's side after he released his hold on their son, "Yes, they are, bearing
in mind that this meeting was not supposed to happen until Stiles came of age."
King Stilinski hissed his wife's name out in warning, "Claudia!"
Queen Talia meekly smiled fully understanding the feelings rushing through
Stiles's mother's entire being as a mother herself, "No, Noah. Any mother has
the right to be overprotective of her children. I feel the exact same way when
it comes to my own children."
Queen Claudia sneered in return, eyes never leaving Derek's mother's own. She
knew that she was being childish for being the Queen of a Kingdom, but Stiles
was her son, "Then why are you placing my son through this?"
Queen Talia responded to her, voice full of untainted reason and pure honesty,
"Because, Queen Claudia, it must be done to protect our people. As royalty we
must forget ourselves and think of our people, the lands we call home. It is
the hardest thing for anybody to do, but when you are the sole ruling person of
your Kingdom the goal becomes quite clear in the end. The lands come first then
the people inhabiting them, and then your very own family. This is what has
been taught to me by my very late husband, your Majesty. And I can see that
this has been naturally instilled in to your son."
"Maybe, Stiles and myself should get to know one another a little better?"
Derek suggested with Stiles's beautiful whiskey colored eyes lingering on his
own.
"That's a wonderful idea, son! Why don't you stay for the entire week. That
should be sufficient enough time for the two you do that." King Stilinski
agreeably chimed in.
"Yes, that is perfect. Prince Derek and Princess Laura will stay here. Cora and
I will head back home. She still has a lot to learn as a young lady and a
Princess. We will return for both the wedding and mating ceremony of course!"
Queen Talia beamed with excitement. Queen Talia exclaimed, voice showcasing her
excitement at the prospect of the two Prince's getting to know one another
before they were to be mated and married to one another a mere two weeks from
now. Both Laura and Cora said no word on what had been decided for them from
their mother and Alpha.
Derek frowned at his mother, "No, mother! I don't need Laura to babysit me! I
can stay here alone. Without her presence."
And the Hale Queen returned the gesture to her son, "She is not staying for
you. She's staying to be Stiles's chaperone for when his parents are not around
the two of you. You may be my son but you are still a man with needs. You would
not be a man if you did not have them."
Derek hissed, voice full of outright embarrassment at his mother's words,
"Mother, stop speaking right now!"
"I for one, do not agree with this sudden arrangement. A week is no time at all
to get to know ones own life partner. And Prince Derek staying here is way too
inappropriate for me to allow that to happen as Stiles's mother." Queen Claudia
scowled angrily to the Prince and Future Alpha of both of their Kingdoms.
"Well I think-" Queen Talia began to speak but Derek stopped her to address the
other Queen himself to allow her to know that this union was coming and there
was nothing she could to stop it from doing so.
"No,  mother I've got it from here. Queen Claudia, with all due respect,
whether you agree with what happens from hence forth has nothing to do with
anything. Prince Mieczyslaw is my mate officially and unofficially, so I can do
whatever I want with him, with or without your consent or permission." Derek
addressed his mother then started to scold Queen Claudia like he was
reprimanding a misbehaving child before ending with his shocked and bewildered
future mate,  "Come, Stiles, please take me on a tour of your fine home."
No one spoke a word after that. They all watched in stunned silence as Stiles
stepped closer to Derek slipping his right arm with his with Derek leading them
out of the chamber with not another word said between them. Stiles leaned on
Derek's shoulder, face flushed with his embarrassment as he began to speak on
what had just transpired a few moments ago, "I'm sorry for my mother's blatant
rudeness. She isn't usually like this."
Derek ceased walking in order to face Stiles when he spoke to him, the younger
Prince gazing up at him with those haunting eyes of his, "Things change when a
mother becomes protective of her cub. And you are her only begotten son. Her
anger is completely understandable."
Stiles grimaced, eyes now blazing to the floor beneath their feet, "No, it's
not! She's a Queen. Once she puts on that crown, she's supposed to be a role
model for her people. Not a five year old child. Her behavior is unacceptable.
It's embarrassing at most and I will not stand for it any longer. Her, being my
mother or not."
Derek spoke his thoughts truthfully, "I don't think our union is the real
problem for your mother."
"You don't?" Stiles asked baffled, looking up, eyes locking with the Alpha
Prince's once again.
"No, I do not." Derek said honestly back and Stiles believed him.
"Why do you think she is acting out this way then?" Stiles asked removing his
arm from Derek's in order to stand a few pace back.
"Because, after we are married, I have to mate and claim you, then I have to
turn you. It's the law of my Kingdom." Derek admitted hoping that he would not
scare the Human off. He wanted to married Stiles. To take his innocence and
claim him as his mate. To never let him go and they hadn't even spoken to each
other for that long until now.
"If you turn me, Derek, what will I become?" Stiles inquired with the raise and
fall of his chest. Curiosity flowing through him. He desired this man- wolf-
beast. Wanted him to claim him and they'd never even spoken to one another like
this before. He was almost terrified of himself.
"After we mate and I have claimed you, your body will start to recognize me as
its Alpha and you will go in to heat. That is when I have to give you the Bite
of Change." Derek happily answered him, loving the curious light beaconing in
his mate's whiskey colored eyes.
"Why then?" Stiles  murmured  back in a soft voice, the heat of the other
Prince's gaze shooting straight through his resolve.
"So that you will become my Omega. An Alpha can not mate with a Beta or another
male Alpha. I have to ensure that your body can provide for our future linage
down the line. I don't want you to be angry at me for this reason, Stiles."
Derek returned with reaching out a hand to grasp at Stiles's waist easily
pulling him in to his embrace. His eyes blazing down at him full of the honesty
of his want of him and pride at his pure unadulterated honorable brazenness. He
was in complete awe of him.
Stiles came back in response to his future King and husband, Alpha and mate
with a soft spoken whisper of, "I could never be anger at my Alpha Prince. Why
don't we change this subject and talk about what we both like out of life in
the palace gardens."
And right before they began to walk off towards the place gardens, Derek spoke
again, cheekily smiling as he does, "It'd be my honor, my beautiful Princess."
