Finally. After hours of walking and sulking, I finally made it. I could see the pack territory gates just up ahead. I sighed contently as I approched the gates.
A warrior walked up to me. He was about 6'5, covered in scars, and just overall scary as hell looking.
"What is your business here?" He questioned me. I stood silent for a moment until answering.
"I-i'm here to see my Aunt.... Tara Rivers..." I shakingly said. His eyes widened, and he nodded. "Please, go right in. I will have the Beta meet you in front of the pack house to escort you to your aunts house." He put his hand out towards the gate as it started opening. I gave him a smile smile and nodded my head as a thank you.
As I walked into the territory, I realized how much bigger it was than ours. The pack house was atleast 8 stories tall. There was a pool, lit up with beautiful neon colors. I could see a park where all the pups could play and have fun. It literally looks like a pack territory that you only see in werewolf movies. It was incredible.
While I was distracted by all of the amazing this this pack had to offer, the Beta came out and started walking towards me. I heard someone sniffing the air, making me swing around in fright.
The Beta was standing only 6 feet from me, but he was sniffing the air like something was wrong. I scrunched my nose, thinking maybe I smelled bad or something. But then his eyes met mine, and he had a sly smirk on his face.
"Hello." He said as he walked up to me. He put his hand out for me to take. I placed my hand ontop of his, and he placed a very light kiss to it. "My name is Beta Max. I hear you're here to see Gamma Tara?" I looked at him puzzled. Gamma? But she said he was just some random warrior from this pack.
He looked at me and chuckled. "I assume she did not tell you of her status?" I shook my head at him. He then chuckled again and shook his head as well. "Ah. Well please, let me show you to her room. She lives in the packhouse with us." He smiled. He grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers together. I blushed at this action.
He walked me into the house. There were alot of pack members in the pack house. Back home, pack members weren't allowed in the pack house unless there was an event going on. But even then, only the warriors were allowed in. Eveyone else had to stay outside in the event area.
As we walked in, everyone started staring at us. He continued pulling me through the pack house, ignoring the stares and whispers. I heard one of the she-wolves gasp and whisper to a girl beside her "Did Beta finally find his mate?" I swung my head around and looked at her, only for her to bow to me.
Once we got to the stairs, he finally let go of my hand. "She stays on the 4th floor. Do you want me to walk you up there?" He asks. I smile and shake my head. "No, i'm okay. Can you just tell me which room is hers?" He nodded and answered "Last door on the right. She should be in there." I smiled and headed up the stairs.
Oh god, she's going to be so pissed. She's going to call my mom and my mom is going to come get me and make me come back. My heart started racing. I don't want to go back! I can't bare to see Mason and Jacy together. Even though our mate bond is broken, I still had feelings for him. I mean, I loved him even before I knew we were mates.
I didn't realize it, but I had been standing infront of my aunts' door for a few minutes. She must've heard my erratic heartbeat and opened the door. Her voice snapped me out of my trance.
"Alexandria! What are you doing here?" She asked. I snapped my head towards her and gave her a sad smile. "Hi, Aunt Tara..." I replied. She looked at me, scrunching her eyebrows. I felt tears starting to pool in the corner of my eyes. She quickly grabbed me, and pulled me into a hug. As soon as her arms were around me, I started bawling. She pulled me into her room and shut the door. She cupped my face and asked "Alexandria, what's wrong?" I looked into her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, I told her everything, starting from the begining.
BETA MAX POV:As soon as I left Tara's niece, I ran striaght to Wyatt, my best friend and Alpha of the Demoncrest pack. He was in his office on the 8th floor. I swung the door open, and Wyatt stood up and growled."Whoa whoa there, big guy. It's just me!" I chuckled. He was always ready to rip someones head off. Poor guy has been serching for his mate for 6 years. Normally, we meet our mates at 18, when we first get our wolf. But Wyatt has not met her yet. But when I met Tara's niece, she seemed weird. Something about her scent made me think of Wyatt."Jesus fucking christ, Max! You can't just barge in like a fucking maniac. I was going to rip your head off." Wyatt said as he sat back down at his desk. I knew he was stressed out, with all the paper work, and rouge attacks that have hit too close to our territory.Wyatt lifted his head and looked at me. "Well? What's up? You obviously need something. So stop staring at me like an idi
Alexandria POV:"Wait wait wait. Let me get this straight." My Aunt says, pacing back and forth. She had a scowl on her face. I knew she would be pissed. "So you're telling me..." She started. She stopped for a second, listening to something. She shook her head then continued. "You're telling me, that Mason was cheating on you for Goddess knows how long, and then when you find out he's your mate, he let another she-wolf mark him?!" My Aunt was boiling. I could feel the anger radiating off of her. I nodded my head and looked at the floor. My cheeks turning red. I was embarassed. I spent years saying nothing but good things about Mason, and sticking up for him when everyone was telling me even though he's the future Alpha, he's no good for me. And now here I am. I felt small. I wasn't good enough for my mate. I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die.I was lost in thought when my aunt suddenly grabbed my jaw and made me look at her."Alex! I kno
Aunt Tara POV: I was so happy to see my niece Alexandria. I haven't seen her since I met my mate and moved to the Demoncrest pack. Life was alot easier here, as the Alpha wasn't so strict on the females. Females back home weren't allowed to train with the warriors unless they were a higher rank, like my sister when she found her mate. I was nervous to move here at first, leaving my family behind wasn't an easy choice. But, I loved Gavin, my mate. He is the Gamma to Alpha Wyatt. Once Alpha Wyatt took over, nothing changed. He had the same views as his father, which I was grateful for. Alpha Wyatt is 26 years old, and still hasn't found his mate. I could tell it was taking a toll on him, since he had not only his Alpha duties, but he had to pick up the Luna duities as well. It is difficult for an Alpha to run his pack without a Luna. Lunas' make the pack stronger, as they keep everyone together. One of their main jobs though, is to
JOYCE POVEdward and I were at the training grounds almost all day. My body was tired and sore, I'm getting too old of this. Honestley, I can not wait for Tyler to take over as Beta. At least then Edward and I could finally retire and get some rest. Being a Beta female wasn't all that easy. The constant training, helping Luna Samantha out with her duties, being there for every pack event and not being able to just sit back and relax, and always being on alert in case something happened.As much as I disliked Mason, our future Alpha, I did truly hope he was Alexandrias' mate. She was head over heels for him. They've been together for a while now. Honestly, even though he was our future Alpha, he was no good for my daughter. I've seen the way he looks at other she-wolves. And everyone knows that he's cheated on my daughter before. My poor Alex has spent so many nights crying over him. Yet, she still acts like he is the most important person in the world.
Alexandria POV:When Wyatt crashed into the room, I was nervous but excited. May was just howling in my head, she was so happy. I didn't understand how or why I was going to get a second chance mate. This was unheard of. Once you rejected your mate, that was it. There wasn't supposed to be any second chances.Honestly, I was nervous. I'm nervous that I won't be good enough for Wyatt, either. I mean, I spent so much of my time and effort into Mason and I's relationship, and he cheated on me. So how was this going to be any different? Wyatt was an Alpha, and i'm just some Beta's daughter. He deserves a strong wolf to become his Luna. I'm broken after finding out about Mason cheating and being marked by someone else.Wyatt had my hand in his, pulling me towards what i'm assuming is his room. His smell was so intoxicating, my mind wasn't even processing the fact that I would probably get my heart broken again. Once we reached his room, he clos
Wyatt's pov I gave Alexandria one of my shirts to wear to bed. I know she would look amazing in it. Her scent swirled with mine. I left her to shower and take care of herself while I finished some paperwork before bed. Beta Max came and knocked on my office door. "What's up Max?" He looked a little worried. Max sat down in the chair in front of me and stared at me. "Dude, what's wrong?" I asked. He just shook his head. "She's back." He said in a cold tone. I scratched my head. "Who's back?" I questioned. Max let out a small dissapointed laugh. He shook his head and stood up. "You really don't know who i'm talking about Wyatt?" He asked. He had his arms crossed looking out the window of my office. "No dude. I really don't. Look, I have alot of paperwork to finish, so please let's make this quick. I want to spend time with Alexandria and get to know her." I looked back down and continued signing all these forms. Max huffed and started wal
Alexandria POV It's been 2 days since I left the Demoncrest pack. My body felt weak. May won't stop howling in my head. I haven't even left my bed. Mom and Dad keep trying to talk to me, but I just turn over and tune them out. I don't want to talk to anyone. I just want to be alone. Sometimes I wish I would've just stayed and heard Wyatt out, but at the same time, is there really a good excuse for that? I was hurt knowing that someone else was with him and possibly had his heart before he met me. He could've had a really good relationship with this she-wolf. And I probably fucked it up just by coming there. Goddess, I'm so stupid. After 2 days, I couldn't take it anymore. I decided to finally go outside and get some fresh air. I took a short shower, just to wash my hair and body. When I got out, I quicky washed my face. Looking into the mirror, my eyes were red and puffy from all the crying i've done. I ot dressed and headed downstairs. Thankfully, m
Wyatt pov I was sitting in my office going over some new contracts for one of our businesses. I couldn't really focus. My mind was on Alexandria. I missed her so much already. I felt very tired and weak, but being away from your mate can do that to you, even if you're not marked yet. Running my hands through my hair, I sigh and try to clear my mind. I needed to get these done by the end of the week. Finally, I signed off on the last contract. I send a text to our lawyers that they can come pick them up. Just as I was about to get up and go to bed, Max came crashing into my room. "Wyatt!" He yelled. "Max, I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Whatever it is, you can handle it." I replied. I got up and started walking towards my office door. Max reached out and grabbed my arm. "Max, will you-" He cut me off "It's Alexandria. She's in the hospital. She hit her head really hard. I just got off the phone with Alpha Brian from Greenwood." My eyes went wide. I darte
Alexandria POVI really wanted to see what was going on, and May was going insane in my head. "Can we go in the house?" I asked Max. He raised his brow at me. "You sure? You don't have to go in there, we can just keep walking around, there's plenty of places to see!" He replied. I rolled my eyes. I have a feeling he's gonna be a shithead. "Yes, please. I wanna be with Wyatt." I looked at him. I just got back and now there's already drama. But if there's going to be drama around my mate, I want to be standing beside him while it all goes down. Max smiled and nodded, then led me into the pack house.Right before he opened the door, I heard Layla screaming. "I'M YOUR LUNA!" I rolled my eyes. I'm his mate. He promised I'm the one he wants. He's already told her to leave, I don't understand what her hangup is. Once we opened the door, Wyatt swung around and looked at us. "Ah, Layla. Looks like the maids haven't taken the trash out yet, huh?" Max snickered to me. It took alot in me to hold
Wyatts' POV This woman gives me a migraine. "You think you can just throw me away like that?! Huh? I'm not going anywhere, Wyatt! You can't make me!" Layla screamed at me. She was throwing her arms around, acting like a child throwing a fit. I pinched the bridge of my nose before replying. "Layla, I've already told you. I have my mate. She is not you. You are not my Luna. Now please, stop acting like a child and leave." I said respectfully. Over the past year, I saw the true side of her, and I didn't like it. She's not fit for a Luna. She is extremely self-centered, and shows no compassion towards anyone. "I'M YOUR LUNA!" She screamed. There was no getting through to her. "Layla..." I sighed. "We've talked about this. I found my mate before 25. She was made to be my Luna." I replied. She huffed and stomped her feet. "No that's not fair! You're supposed to be my mate! You could've made me your chosen mate long ago, but you chickened out!" She continued screaming. I heard the fron
Alexandria's POV It was a quiet ride back to the Demoncrest pack grounds. The scenery on the way was absolutely stunning. It was late summer, and everything was green and beautiful. I watched out the window as everything buzzed by. I was worried about leaving home. But now with Tyler becoming Alpha, I knew everything would be fine. I was deep in my thoughts when Wyatt spoke up. "We're here, Little Wolf. Are you ready?" He smiled at me. I returned a smile and nodded my head. Wyatt's phone started ringing and he pulled it out. "We're pulling up now, Max. I'll be there in a minute." He said to his Beta over the phone. Suddenly, I heard a low growl. I turned my head to look at him and I could see his eyes were swirling black. "Are you fucking kidding me? Alright, I'll deal with it myself when I get there." Wyatt hung up his phone as we pulled up to the pack house. "Listen, Little Wolf. YOU are my mate and Luna. I know we haven't marked eachother yet, but I swear to you that you are my on
Wyatts' pov:"I want you to come back with me... Come back... Please?" My heart was beating a million miles a minute. I couldn't bare to be rejected by my mate. She looked into my eyes and smiled. "Yes, Wyatt. I would love that." Her voice was so beautiful. I couldn't help myself, I scooped her up into my arms and hopped off the bed, spinning her around. She started giggling and Goddess, I could never get tired of hearing that. "The Doctor said you can be discharged. I want you to spend some time with your family before you come home with me. We can leave in 2 days. Is that okay love?" I asked. I had my nose burried into her hair. She had her legs wrapped around my waist, and her arms wrapped around my neck. I could feel her smile, and she nodded. We stayed like this for a little while. Just pure, sweet bliss. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"Mom, just keep the necklace! Grandma gave that to you as a wedding present." Alexandria said to her mother
Alexandria povWhen I woke up, I could instantly smell that he was here with me. I opened my eyes, and there he was. He was sitting in a chair next to my hospital bed, with his head laying down on the bed and his hand on mine. I couldn't help but smile. I wanted to give him a chance to explain, but i'm not sure I need one. I know he made her leave, and I guess I kinda understand. He's an Alpha, and has been looking for his mate for years.I reached over to the bedside table and grabbed a cup of water. My mouth was dry, I wonder how long I've been out. May was still sleeping, so I doubt she'll be any help right now. I quickly downed the water, and sat the cup back on the table. I looked down and just stared at Wyatt. He was perfect. I feel terrible for leaving in the first place, but considering what happened, I feel justified.I started lightly running my fingers through his hair, and goddess I could do this forever. His hair was so soft.
