POV. Alex
I am standing in the hall of the school together with Logan and Mike, we have been gone for the past 3 years, training to get ready to take over our rightful places in the pack when the time comes. “So, you didn’t find your mate in the pack when we got home,” Mike asks. I look at him and shake my head, “No, I took a walk around the pack, and nothing caught my senses.” Logan and Mike both smile Sadly. They both know I have been searching and hoping to find my mate since I shifted. A wolf’s mate is the most precious thing we can find, it’s the half we need to be 100% complete. As an alpha, I shifted when I was fifteen, where any wolfs with a lower rank, first shift when they turn eighteen. Logan and Mike both found their mates, and even it stings, I am happy for them.
“I heard a rumor that you are going to choose the old gammas daughter Vicky as your chosen mate and make her your Luna” I laugh at them.
“Oh yes, that is what the rumor says, I will admit it was suggested by the elders, but no I will not make Vicki my mate and not my Luna, I wouldn’t even touch her, just for the fun of it, I rather turn out to be a monk.” They both laugh at that.
Everyone knows Vicki is the biggest pack whore we have in the pack and the school.
As we are about to go to the class, the most alluring and amazing scent hits my nose. Roses and cinnamon, almost making my mouth water. I can feel Hunter me the wolf is whimpering and growling at the same time through the mind link we have to each other. I am looking around in the hall trying to pinpoint wherefrom the scent is coming from. While standing there, I feel this scent come closer, but then it is like it disappearing again. Hunter is whimpering, and I am right there with him, I want to know who that scent belonged to.
The first 2 classes are done, and it is lunchtime, I smelled the sent between classes, but still didn’t find who it belonged to. I hope maybe doing lunch will turn up and I will follow it. I sit in the cafeteria with Logan and Mike, looking around trying to catch the scent.
“Are you okay man?” Mike asks as they both look at me with worry in their eyes.
“Yes, I am fine, but I think she is here in this school.” As I say that Emma and Emily show up and sit down with Logan and Mike.
“Who is here?” Emma asks as she sits down next to Logan, and kisses him, Emma is Logan’s Mate, and the pack’s future beta female. Emily is Mike’s Mate and the future Gamma Female, both girls are perfect for them and our future, also are their sisters, I teased my boys with that in beginning, though I am happy for them.
“I think my mate is here in the school.” The girl’s squeals and Emily says.
“Omg that is amazing Alex, do you know who it is? Please don’t say, Vicki.” She looks nervous for a second thinking she maybe just assaulted her future Luna.
“God no. it’s not her, that much I know,” she breathes out
“But I don’t know, I can’t find who the scent belongs to. Until I do, I can’t be sure.” They nod their head and Mike ask.
“What if she is Human? I mean only she-wolves here are from our pack. And you did say you didn’t sense her there.” I look at him and think for a second.
“If the moon-goddess have chosen a human as my mate, there will be a reason for it. It won’t change the fact she is my mate.” They all smile and nod at my words, then I feel a hand on my shoulder.
“Hey Alex, I’ve been looking for you,” Vicki’s voice says.
“What you want Vicki,” I say without looking at her.
“Eat with you, of course, you know now with the elders and alpha’s decision about us being chosen ma.” I cut her off right there.
“Vicki, they didn’t decide anything my father and I were suggested options, however, I do not agree, nor will I choose you as my mate, I won’t choose anyone but my true mate. So, knock that out of your head and move on.” She looks at me with anger for turning her down and then starts touching me again, making me want to throw up.
“Do not touch me, Vicki, ever.” I snap at her.
“But Alex we can be so good together, I can make you happy, cover your needs at any time.” I can feel my anger getting bigger, and hunter clawing to come out and scratch her ugly face, but I keep him in control, with my Alpha voice and aura cast on her I look at her.
“Leave, and do not try this again, ever, if you do, you will regret it. I do not want you.” Everyone felt and heard my words.
All the wolves react to it by bowing their heads. I look at my friends they also are bowing under my command and alpha aura. I relax let go of my aura and everyone goes back to eating, and Vicki leaves. looking at my friends I say.
“I am sorry guys. I just.” Emma cuts me off
“You don’t need to be sorry Alpha. We understand.” She says and smiles at me. I nod my head as if I say thank you. And we go back to eating.
The scent doesn’t come into the cafeteria, and I wonder where the girl it belongs to is. When I am heading the last class of the day, Calculus. I enter the classroom together with Logan the smell hits my face. Roses and Cinnamon, I look around and my eyes fall onto a girl sitting in the back in the corner. Her eyes are glued to the book she has on the table, and her long brown hair is falling in waves.
“She is here” I whisper to Logan so only he can hear it, completely forgetting I could just have mind-linked him. He looks surprised at me, then smiles big and nods his head. I find my way to an empty table next to her and sit down, I look over at her, but she does not pay attention to the fact I have sat down next to her. I look at Logan who took the empty table in front of her, without her even knowing she is known fully protected. She is dressed in blue jeans and a black hoodie that looks to be way too big for her. I lean over a little feeling the scent gets stronger.
“Hello, I am Alex.” I introduce myself she turns her head just a little bit to show that she heard me, “hello” she says without looking up or saying her name.
I look at a logan and he shrugs his shoulders.
“The bonehead there in front of you is Logan” I try again hearing logan chuckle. She doesn’t answer.
“what’s your name?” I ask. She turns her head a little more, but still not enough for me to see her properly when she says.
“Lina” I smile to myself, and Hunter is going nuts inside my head and keep telling me to make her look at us, only by seeing her eyes I will know for sure that she is my mate.
The professor enters the room, and everyone goes quiet. The professor is one of the werewolves working at the school and she bows her head to me when she sees me, I nod my head back to her and smile.
“Hello class, today we are going to work on a project in groups of two and three people. The project is to find and make a business plan, meaning finding out what the costs are and what it takes to make a successful business. This project is put together with 2 other professors and will count for a big part of your grades in each class. So, I am sure you will all do a good job at this. Now I will make the groups.”
The professor starts calling names and looks at Lina. Then I mindlink the professor.
“Put me together with Logan and Lina, thank you” I look at the professor and she looks in the papers. And speak.
“Next group in Logan, Lina, and Alex.” Lina looks up first at Logan in front of her then she turns her head and looks straight at me. She has the most amazing blue eyes and at that moment hunter yell in my head “MATE”
Lina POV. I am sitting in class waiting for it to start, when I suddenly smell that new scent, I noticed this morning. Forest and chocolate, I want to look around to find out where it comes from, but I keep my head down so people will just leave me alone. Then the smell comes closer, and I notice two guys sitting down on the empty tables in front of me and the one next to me. The smell is so strong now and for some reason, it calms my body. “Hello, I am Alex,” the voice next to me says and it almost feels like his voice is caressing me softly. I keep my head down even it is so hard, and answer. “Hello” I don’t want to be rude. “The bonehead in front of you is Logan” I hear the guy in front of me chuckle a little and I feel a small smile on my lips. “what’s your name” the guy Alex asks. Still not wanting to be rude I say. “Lina.” then the professor enters and starts talking about a project that must be made in groups. I shrug for myself
Alex POV. I cannot wait to get to school today. I want to see my beautiful mate. But she is nowhere to be seen. I wonder if she is okay. “No, she isn’t okay,” Hunter says in my head “Do not say something like that Hunter,” I growl at him. “You felt that pain yesterday, Alex, I know you did. Because I did. Our mate was in pain and a lot of it.” That makes me furious. And I keep looking around for her. As I head to class. It’s already 2nd period and still no sign of her. But I know she must be in the next class. And there I see her when I enter. I feel relieved and go to sit at the table next to her. “Hey Lina,” I say, feeling calm now I can see her and smell her. But then she lifts her head and looks at me and I let out a threatening growl. She looks down again and whimpers. As Logan enters the classroom. I get down on my knees next to her. “Lina, Sweetie, I am sorry, I did not mean t
Alex POV. I run over to Lina. My beautiful mate oh Goddess no let her be okay. “Lina, baby girl, please wake up beautiful.” She doesn’t answer. But I feel her breath normally. I pull off my hoodie and put it on her. While I am mind linking Logan, Mike, and their mates. “Guys I need help; a group of guys was assaulting Lina she is badly hurt. Her clothes ripped and she passed out.” I hear growls and feel their sympathy through the link. When Emma says. “Alex brings her to the school nurse. She is a wolf from our pack.” I silently thank the Goddess for that Emma has a dream of becoming a doctor. So, she checked these things. “Emma you are a savior, thank you.” I lift Lina in bridal style and hurry towards the school nurse. “We will be right there Alpha; Emma will bring some clean clothes for her,” Logan says and the link closes. I reach the nurse’s office and she g
Lina POV. “You are going home with me. I will get you your own room. But I will also know that you are safe.” I hear the words coming from his mouth, though I am not sure I heard right, and then it hits me what he said. Take me home with him. I cannot do that. I am not 18 yet, if he does, he will get in trouble. “But you can’t, I mean, I am not eighteen I am not of age yet, my foster parents decide how my life is going to be until I am.” I whisper in a low tone and look down, not knowing if he heard me. It’s not that I want to stay at my foster home, because I really don’t. I just don’t want him to get in trouble. He has been nothing but sweet to me. Mate or not, he has only shown concern for me when I was obviously hurting, and he saved me. I would hate myself for causing problems for him. My mind is going on overdrive, and I don’t notice that Alex has come closer before he with 2 fingers under my chin lift my head, so I look into his beautifu
Lina POV. I hurried up to my room, found my 2 big travel bags, and started to fill them with my clothes and the few books and stuff I had that was mine. I was getting out of this house, away from Ken and my foster parents. I did not have a lot, as a foster kid, we learn to not have more belongings than we can carry. Walking down the stairs it is deadly silent down there. For a moment I got worried, maybe Alex had changed his mind, and left without me. When I entered the kitchen, I let out a breath, I didn’t even know I was holding in. Alex was still here; he didn’t leave me. He heard me stand up and came to me, caressing my cheek. “You okay Beautiful?” I nodded my head, feeling all relieved. He looks me in the eyes, and I can see he know why. “I would never leave you.” He whispers I’m in my ear. And I relax. “Okay, let’s go Beautiful, time to go home.” He says giving my foster parents a nod. I look at them before saying “Bye.” T
Lina POV. Alex leaves the room closing the door, leaving me to look at my new room. It’s hard to believe, that it looks like my life, is finally turning into something good the bedroom walls are painted in soft cream with dark curtains, a huge king-size bed in dark wood is standing in the middle of the room, against the long wall. There is a small desk, TV, and a little cozy spot with a soft couch setup. I open the first door Alex pointed to and see a big walk-in closet. I stand looking in shock, thinking I never will get to use such a big closet. I close the door again and go open the door there must be a bathroom. I can’t help but gasp, this is the most amazing bathroom I have ever seen. It has a big shower filling the whole wall in on side om the room. At the other end is the biggest bathtub I have ever seen. An in middle the bathroom counter and the room is so peaceful. Mary has stocked it with all kinds of soap, shampoo, conditioner towels, and everything that should be
Lina POV. We are sitting in McDonald’s, Alex got me a burger with fries and a soda. We are all just sitting talking, the guys about someone they call routes, Alex told me it is wolves that are not living with a pack. That most of them are dangerous and crazy beasts. Emma and Emily want us to go shopping soon. But I tell them I don’t have any money. I was never allowed to have any, but sure I can go with them if they want me to. I like the sisters, they are sweet, and they don’t care about me being an orphan. Emma and Emily got here before the boys like a month before, and had noticed me in school, but seen how everyone always was nasty to me. They tried getting people to just leave me alone. Said I was not hurting anyone. And I guess the wolves mostly listened. I am grateful they tried. “You have not been at the mall, have you?” Emily asks. “Not really no, “That sucks, we would really love it if you came with us.”
Lina POV. When Alex leaves my room, I lay down and hide under the blanket. Never have I felt like I did when he kissed me, it was like I couldn’t get enough of the taste of his lips, and tongue. And I love the sparks that always come when he touches my skin. My body was all warm and I felt myself get wet for him. Something I have never been before. With that, I fall asleep. **dream** Ken is coming into my room, I look at the watch it says 02:27 AM, I wonder why he is here so late. I don’t like him much. He always looks at me, as if I am a piece of meat. I tried telling my foster parents, but they told me to stop being a liar. When he sits down on my bed and traces a hand up at my leg. I try to push him away, but he grabs my hand with the other one. “Stop being difficult sweetheart.” He says in a deep lustful voice that scares me. “Leave me alone Ken. Just go away please.” I whisper. “Mmm, I love it when you beg, but stop
