Chapter 4: Aaron

As soon as I stepped out of my steamy shower Aaron was knocking on the oak door. I wrapped a towel around myself.

"Come in." I said.

Aaron entered and looked around. He spotted the toilet and looked at me.

"Go ahead." I smiled at him.

He did his business as I faced the mirror. I looked in the medicine cabinet to see a few tooth brushes and a tube of toothpaste. That was all though. No hairbrush.

I shrugged. I had lived without one for a year. What's another day of having to use my fingers as a substitute.

Aaron came and stood next to me. I smiled at him and picked him up. I grunted and set him on the bathroom counter.

"Whoa dude,maybe only half a deer next time." I smiled.

He smiled proudly that he was getting bigger. I started opening a toothbrush for him when a knock came from the door, I tightened the towel around myself and told Aaron to stay.

I went to the door that led to the hallway and opened it. Mason stood with clothes in his hands.

His muscles tensed again and my breath caught. I moved to the side.

"Come in." I offered.

He walked into the room and set the clothes on the bed, He looked around when he didn't see Aaron in bed.

"He's in the bathroom." I told him.

He nodded and focused his hard, and rather intense, gaze on me. He stepped toward me and with every step he took, my breath got a little heavier.

He lifted his hand and set it over my chest. My heart pounded under his large hand and his eyes began to switch between red and their human color, my mouth dropped open, but before I said anything, he jerked his hand. I looked down at his fingers in front of me to see a tag that he had pulled off the towel.

I cleared my throat. He threw the tag away and started toward the door.

"You are a destined alpha. Destined since birth." I stated.

He stopped and turned back to me. His eyes were their normal royal blue. Most Wolf's eyes were much more vibrant than that of a human. For example a regular blue for a human is usually a royal blue for a wolf. He said nothing about my statement.

"I have never met any of your kind." I stated.

He blinked as I watched his eyes dialate in a rapid motion as he looked at me. I waited for them to turn to a ruby red but they did not.

"My mind is not as spectacular as some may imagine." He stated.

Then the door to the bedroom closed softly as he exited.

My eyebrows drew together. What did he mean not spectacular? I beg to differ. I had never met a destined alpha before. Then I realized. He was mine. I had a destined alpha as a mate.

I was suddenly amazed.

I entered the bathroom again to see Aaron was swinging his legs back and forth. I helped him brush his teeth and brushed my own. It felt good to not have to brush with mint leaves or other various vegetation. I bathed him as well and dressed him. I changed in private in the bathroom and once I was dressed I sat next to Aaron.

"We should probably cut this hair of yours." I told him.

He pouted.

"Do we have to momma? You agreed it was unique." He told me.

"I know but we should start fresh and healthy, right? Trust me, I would shave mine too if I was comfortable doing so." I chuckled.

He nodded.

"Okay momma." He agreed.

I smiled and got up from the bed. To be completely honest, I was nervous to leave the bedroom. The two of us knew no one here. To everyone here, we are two rogues who got a lucky break.

I straightened out the blue dress that Mason had brought to the room for me and raked my fingers through my long, brown hair a few more times. I took a deep breath and took Aaron's hand.

I opened the door to the hallway and was surprised to see alpha Mason with a hand raised, seeming to be about to knock. He lowered the hand to his side when he saw the two of us.

"Good to see that you two are dressed. Come." He said, He led us down the large staircase. My wet hair stuck to the dress I was given. Aaron looked around curiously and hid in my shoulder when he saw someone in the crowd of the pack outside.

I realized soon who he was afraid of. The men who pushed us here were standing in a group. Their arms were crossed across their chests and they hardly looked at Aaron and I. The hair on the back of my neck stood on end and I held Aaron closer.

"London. This is Angelina Norma. She cares for the pack house." Mason introduced.

The woman had striking blue eyes and black hair to her waist. She also had a large belly bump that she supported by holding the bottom of her back.

"Well I usually do. Right now I have a full time duty to care for five rugrats. Almost six." She smiled.

I almost choked. Aaron was a handful himself. And I only have one! This woman must have full hands.

"And it will stay that way now." Mason said.

She frowned but he kissed her forehead. A knot formed in my stomach and throat. I was about to walk away but then Mason suddenly became elated.

"London. I would like you to meet my beta, Jake. Angelina is his mate and fiance." He introduced.

I relaxed immediately and smiled warmly at the beta.
