Alexander,
I had gone on a run with the other Alpha's this morning, and it was later than I usually run. Everyone told me that I should go and spend time with the others, but I prefer to be alone when I run. But, my brother being the pain he, can be pushed, so I went. We had run for about forty-five minutes when I could smell water, so I assumed we were coming up on a lake or a stream. When we finally broke from the trees, I saw a beautiful lake. I went to get a drink, but everyone had the same thought as me, so I bolted to the other side, so we were not on top of each other. When I approached the other side, a scent hit me from nowhere. It smelled of vanilla and honey. I looked around but saw no one.
"What are you doing over there?" My brother Travis asks through our mindlink. "I thought I smelled something." "Is it dangerous?" He asked as he started to come around the lake. "No, I donI am watching him, but when he gets closer, his scent grabs me. I mean that too. I felt like something was pulling me to him. My feet were moving, and I met him."Mine," We both growled at the same time. If it was not such an intense moment, I might laugh. But instead, I reached up, placing my hands on his chest as he went to my waist. He pulled me tight against his body and put his head in my neck. I could feel him taking deep breaths, breathing me in. I took this moment to take in his scent, too. He smelled of pine and heather. I take a deep breath to bask in his scent. It is manly but gentle at the same time. It feels like everyone in the room has disappeared but us two. I feel him lift his head, and I do the same, but a growl leaves him as he looks to Travis. What does he think my relationship with Travis is? I look to see that Travis is still looking at him and smiling like he finds his behavior funny."What is your name?" I say, trying t
Alexader Why would our mate already want to talk in private with someone else? Is she hiding something from us? "Calm down. They are women and best friends. Of course, they are going to talk in private about you." Travis says, laughing at my situation. "How do you know Ivy anyway, and how long have you known her?" I ask cause I am genuinely interested. "I met her in the diner right after we got to town. She is a waitress there. She was almost like someone I had known my whole life, bu
I know I need to speak and tell him, but I am unsure where to start. I don't even realize how much time has passed as I try to think of where to start. That is until he speaks up."If you don't mind me asking, what did you want to talk about exactly. You know you can tell me anything. We will get through it together. That is what mates do." I know he is right, but there are still things that I can't tell him."I was not born in this pack." I figure that is the best way to start."What pack were you born in?" He asks, but I need to keep on track."If you don't mind, I am going to tell you, but I have never told anyone but Juliana my story before, so it is hard for me.""Ok, I understand. I will only walk and listen." He tells me, so I continue."So I was born in another pack, but my pack and family were attacked when I was young. I was only eight. The smell of smoke and howls awoke me. When I got to
Alexander,I head for the packhouse as fast as I can go. I know I told her an hour, but if we can leave sooner, that would be better. I wish my mate had not gone through something so traumatic as a child, but I am sure that what she has experienced has played a part in who she is today. I will do my best to help her find out who she is and where she came from, although I might already have a suspicion. I think it is best I wait and see what we can find out. I make it to the packhouse and up to my room. I mindlink Travis to come to my room now. He must not have been far cause he is tapping on the door. I open it and let him inside. I look down the hall but see no one else, so I shut the door."We need to get our stuff and get ready to leave. I told Ivy that I would be back to get her in an hour, but I would like to be faster than that.""Well, I already have my stuff ready, but I take it you will explain it more to me on the way."&
I watch as Alex questions the rogue that attacked me, and then I watch as he snaps his neck. He shows no hesitation in his decision. That is until he looks at me. I see the look of shame, but I don't want him to regret it. They all three were willing to kill without even questioning why. I don't wait for him to second guess his choice more. I walk up and wrap my hands around his neck, thankful that he is ok. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me to him."I think we need to get going. Where is your stuff?" He asks as I pull away.""It is over by the back of the building. I only got one bag ready and changed my clothes before we left the house.""Is there anything else you need?""No, I got everything important. Juliana can look through the other stuff if she wants." I turn to look at her, but she looks to Shawn."I don't know how long we are going to be able to stick around here. If Chris knows th
Alexander I was not expecting that question, and I am not sure I want to answer it. But I also know that trust is easy to break but hard to regain once broken."I never had a girlfriend, but I have had partners." I really hope she knows what I mean when I say it that way, and I don't have to elaborate."I see," She doesn't say anything else. She keeps staring out the window. I try to think of a question quickly to change the subject."What is your favorite color?" I know it is probably a stupid question, but it was the first one that popped up in my head."Green.""I like green, but black and pink are so cute together," Travis says, catching us both off guard, but we all laugh. My phone started to ring, and it connected to the truck, so I answered."Hello?" I say unsure who is calling."You want to explain why you, your brother, and my pack member have left." Its Chris and I
Alex goes into the bathroom, and I am embarrassed for thinking he meant for us to shower together. He wouldn't offer something like that already. I mean, he even asked for permission to hug me. I set my bag inside the closet on the empty side. The closet is huge. I could fit a bed in it. The bedroom is enormous too. I can only imagine how big the bathroom is. I really do need a shower, but I didn't want to take over his bathroom when he is used to not sharing with anyone. He also drove the whole trip, so I am sure that he is tired and ready to get some sleep. I walked over to the nightstand and looked for the remote he talked about. I pick it up then I notice I don't see a television anywhere in the room. I look around again, wondering if I missed it. Still, I see nothing. I look for the on switch on the remote and push it. Maybe if it cuts on, I will know where it is.A wall starts to part, and my mouth drops open. The entire wall opens, and a colossal television i
I lay on the bed on the other side of him. I am nervous. I have never slept in the same bed with anyone before."I hope you rest well." He says as I am staring at the ceiling."I hope you do too. I know it was a long drive." He pulls the top blanket up over his body. It is thin and feels good against my skin, so I pull it up over me and try to close my eyes. It doesn't take as long as I would have thought before I drift off to sleep. I know he is as well because I can hear the shallow beats of his heart, and his breathing evens out. It is almost like a lullaby putting me to sleep. I am woke by the feel of sparks on my cheek and my name being called softly. My eyes flutter open to see Alex squatting next to the bed, stroking my face to wake me."Did you sleep well?" He asks, giving me that smile. It takes me a minute to process what is happening."Umm yeah, what time is it?""It's
