You Can't Possibly Be Mated To Those Monsters!

“So you're leaving us?” Ashley asked with a pout on her lips. It was the next morning after their night at the club and she had one more day before she left to her mates pack. 

Claire groaned in annoyance. “For the last time, Ash, I'm not leaving you. We will still get to see each other. It's not like I'm going to die or something.” 

Ashley didn't look convinced. “But how is it even possible that you have two mates?”

She paused for a second, thinking about her friend's words. “I don't know, Ash.” She finally answered. Was the moon goddess playing some sort of trick on her? 

“And have you heard the rumors about the dark moon pack? They're said to be the most powerful pack in the world. I heard their Alphas are ruthless, they kill without even blinking. I'm worried for you, Claire.” Ashley's voice wobbled, concern written on her face. 

Claire shook her head not believing what she had said. “That's why it's called rumors, Ash. They might not even be true. Just some cooked up story to make them look bad.” She didn't know why she was suddenly defending her mates, but she just couldn't stop herself. 

'Mates would never hurt us.' Her wolf whimpered. She tried to calm her down. 

“What if the rumors are true?” Ashley insisted not giving up. 

“Ashley—” 

“Ooo what did I miss?” Daxton, the future Alpha and our best friend chirped. He engulfed her in a tight hug, squeezing the life out of her. Daxton was two years older than Claire and Ashley. 

Daxton has brunette wavy hair that was cut very low. He was tall at 5'11 compared to her 5'4 height. He had a slim lean figure. 

“C-can't breath... ” Claire gasped, making him release his hold. 

Ashley rolled her eyes, probably still upset by their previous conversation. “Claire found her mate.” She announced, Claire gave her a warning look. She wanted to tell Daxton by herself. “And they're twin Alphas.” She added. 

Dax's eyes budged in disbelief. “No fucking way. That's impossible!” He shouted, making her wince. 

“She met them at the club last night. And anyone from a thousand miles could see that they were Claire's mate. She actually ditched me and went upstairs with them to do goddess knows what.” Ashley added slyly, a laugh bubbled out of her at the expression on her best friend's face. 

“Oh my goddess, Claire! When did you become so bad?!” Dax whispered the last part, making her smack him lightly on his arm. 

Her cheeks were hot from embarrassment at their words. 

“I was right after all.” Dax said with a smirk. “Our little Claire is no longer a virgin!” Daxton teased. 

“Guys stop! We didn't even do anything! We only talked about me moving to their pack with them,” She groaned. “I called both of you here to help me pack. You know I still have to tell the Alpha before I leave.” She shuddered at the thought. Alpha Darius was a really scary man, she was slightly thankful that she wouldn't have to see his face for a while. 

Daxton chuckled without humor. There was tension between him and his father. His father hadn't liked the idea of his son being gay. Dax found his mate, Kevin, when he was twenty-one. Kevin was from another pack that Dax had visited for some pack meetings when he met him. They instantly fell in love and Kevin moved to the Night Walker's pack, much to Alpha Darius' dismay. 

He thought it was an embarrassment for his son, the future alpha of the pack, to be gay. He frowned upon it, but there was nothing he could do about it. They were soulmates. But that didn't stop him from verbally attacking Dax and his mate at any given chance. 

“Goodluck with that.” Dax said, shaking his head. “Just pray he's in a good mood today.” He added. 

“When is he ever in a good mood?” Ashley retorted. “No offense Dax, but your father is a grumpy ass.”

Dax's eyes twinkled mischievously. “None taken.” 

He suddenly looked at Claire with worry. “I forgot to ask. What park are your mates from, Claire?”

She shrugged. “The Dark Moon Pack.”

“What!? Tell me you are fücking joking. You can't possibly be mated to those monsters.” Dax said with a low growl. 

“Dax!” Claire snapped, suddenly irritated. 

“What, Claire? Don't tell me you haven't heard the rumors about their pack. Everyone knows how heartless Alpha Callan and Alpha Cameron are. I can't believe they are your mates. You deserve better.” He said, shaking his head sadly. 

A heavy lump formed in her throat. Ashley came closer and engulfed her in a comforting hug. “It's okay, Claire. They might just be useless rumors. It's not like we have seen them kill anyone before.” Ashley tried to sound comforting, but Claire knew she didn't believe her own words. 

Daxton smiled sadly and nodded in agreement to Ashley's words. “You might be right, Ash. I'm sorry for snapping, Claire. You know I only want the best for you right?” She nodded her head and he gave her a brotherly hug, and at that moment, she felt loved by the two most important people in her life. Well, her mates are now in the picture. 

Ashley and Dax pulled away from the hug and were glad to see that their best friend's mood was bright once again. 

Claire thought of how much she was going to miss her two best friends after she left for her mates pack. She wondered if she would be able to make new friends in their pack. 

“Who is in for a run?” Daxton asked cheerfully. He always loved going for a run with Claire and Ashley. His wolf was much bigger and larger than Ashley and Claire's smaller wolf. So he always had the bigger chance of winning whenever they went for a run. 

Ashley playfully elbowed him. “I bet we will win you this time around.” 

“You wish.” Dax replied with a wink.
