Ch. 2 MATE??

Asher POV

​My name is Asher Steele. I am 29 years old; I am the Alpha of Crimson Blood Pack. I have the largest pack in the country. I don’t tolerate mistakes or half-ass shit. I run a tight ship and everyone in this pack knows it.

​“Alpha?” My Bata and best friend say as he knocks and pocks his head in with a scared look on his face. “Yes?” I say while looking up at him. “You know that mission you posted 4 days ago? Well let me say that whoever did it completed it and is already home and here’s your report and the victims are back and said that the girl was a badass and something along the lines of wanting you to go to her pack and thank her for saving them..” he says while trying to hide his face with a smirk on his face. “WHAT?! Was she the only one who went to save them?? I thought there was at least 40 men there around the girls form what my report told me was that they were sounded the whole time!!” I asked while looking shocked and perplexed “yes, they all had the same to say. Here the report she wrote, and she also left her Alpha’s contact information if we need her again.” He hands me the report I quickly read though the extremely detailed report and there was 67 rouges and they all had guns and they raped some of the girls and she took out all the rouges and get the girls in her SUV in a time of 30 mins and fed, changed, and gave them first aid. During that time...

​Who is this girl? How was she able to get all that done in that amount of time and not get hurt?? I look at my Bata, still in shock, and see him holding a letter. I take it cautiously “what’s this?” “Oh, the Luna of the same pack sent it, and it arrived at the same time as the girls. I haven’t looked at it.” I open it up and it’s The Moon Valley Pack’s Mating Ball they hold every 6 months. “Fuck… this again did we just go there?” “Yes, but that girl from the report wasn’t there because she was on a different mission. Did you know that mission your holding is her 170th mission??” “WHAT?!?” I look at him like he’s got 5 heads. “YA!! I know right! She is a legend in the area. So, are we going?? I want to meet her and see if there might be something there if you get what I’m saying??” I shack my head and smile ‘he just wants to get his dick wet...’ my wolf Dex says. ‘So, if he does, he’s lucky if his dick doesn’t get cut off, she’s mastered the same if not everything we have so he’ll be lucky to survive a night with her.’ Dex growl and is pacing around my head. ‘don’t like how he’s talking about this she-wolf’ I’m shocked he’s showing some kind of interest in this girl it’s not like she’s our mate or anything. “No, we are not going this time around” I say while putting the invite in the trash and trying to quickly snatch it and places it back in front of me. I look at him looking upset at his. “Dude what’s your problem with wanting to go??” “I told him I want to meet her” he’s saying with a huge grin.

​“We are not going to the Mating ball” he crosses he arms over his chest and looks at me with a frown on his face. “What do I have to do to get you to go to this ball???” I think for a minute… I smile at him “you have to do HER training course and get her to invoke that rule everyone keeps talking about.” His face pales and shakes his head. “Ash! Do you want me to die!!” “Then we are not going to this so-called ball, plus there are plenty of she-wolfs here or you can go to your girlfriends house?” I say while laughing at him. He continues to stare at me like I’m the villain in his story. “You know what I will if you will!” he says looking extremely serious. I look at him for a second and remember what ive been told about her training and its very similar to mine but more miles and they say it gets harder as you get farther you go then when you get to the gym your just have to make it the rest to the pool that you have to swim 100 laps and you then have to run again in human form for 25 miles though I never understood why she never add the wolf form into the training. “You know what I will. Ill get her to invoke that rule then you must. DEAL??” He sits up and throws his hand out to shake and I do I shake his hand. “So, who do you think will get her to her bed first??” he says while smirking and before I could swallow down the growl it comes out me and my wolf squeezes Ty’s hand and lefts go “ok I’ll keep thoughts to myself about this girl. Sorry Dex didn’t mean to disrespect that girl.” ‘he better show her the respect she deserves’ he walks to the back of my head and faces away from me “sorry about that I don’t know what’s up with him and this girl” my bata shakes his head “its fine my wolf is the one that said that I needed to get you to go to the ball though I don’t know why so it’s in 2 days’ time so I’ll go get packed and you might want to let Rose know you’re going she’s excited about it.” I look at the office door and lean forward and motion him to lean forward to “I’m going to allow her to go” I say in an exceptionally low whisper the next this I know the door flies open and rose runs in squealing “YES!! YOUR FINALLY GOING TO LET ME GO!!!!” I smile shaking my head “yes rosie I’m going to allow you to go with me BUT you must save yourself for your mate, ok?? If I had to you have to, ok??” she frowns at me and then smiles “ok I will and if I found my mate I’m going be gone for a while till after, ok?" I chuckle and smile “fine that the deal and no mater how hot the guy is no sex till you find your mate” “fine I will.” She says while running out the office to her room to pack, I guess. “While I guess we better pack for this thing.”

THE DAY BEFORE THE BALL

We are 30 miles from the pack house and my wolf will not stop pacing back and forth since we started driving the whole while he keeps saying we need to hurry up and we need to run after we get there he doesn’t like being in the car. ‘Dude calms down we are there then I’ll get used to our room to get change and we can go for a run. Ok?’ he grumbles and mumbles ‘fine’ he goes to lay down away from me. What is his problem and why has been in a pissed off mood... he’s never like this. “Alpha we are here however we got told to go to this gym like place something along the like of invoke rule 12?” He looks at the review mirror. I look at him and my bata “we haven’t even got to meet the alpha and the girl yet to get her to invoke that rule yet so why now?” I turn to my bata looking just as confused “I don’t know but from the looks of it the Alpha is here looking pissed off..” He nodes his head to the Alpha and gets out once the vehicle is in park. I get out and walk to the alpha. “good evening Alpha Asher I’m sorry but my second head warrior Jaz invoked one of her rules on me so I have to put you in her house for the duration of our stay and something along the times of I quote... mind you these are her words that she head your bata say but.. “He clears his throat and says “to get her to her bed the first would be her mate” he looks upset for having to goes those same words my bata and I said different conversations but its both of us. I look at my bata and my bata looks at me and we are both smirking at each other. I look at the Alpha “it is perfectly ok however would we get a chance to meet your second head warrior?” He nodes his head to the forest behind her house. “She is in wolf form and if I were you DO NOT go near her while in wolf form. Her wolf is not dangerous, but I have not seen her while in wolf form since she first shifted at 22 and…” “wait 22?? Everyone shift the first time at 18 why did she not shift then?” I ask wondering what happened. Maybe she got hurt… hmm something is not adding up... “well you see I cannot provide that information and I’m under her commend to not say as well... don’t ask me how I still don’t understand it either... it pisses me off when I want to talk to someone about it, but I can’t. However, let’s get y’all to your rooms for the next few days Alpha you will have her room and bata you will take one of the 4 guest rooms, and the lovely lady will do the same as your bata. Also please don’t ask me how she know that y’all said that I still don’t know either...” we follow him into the very modern looking house the main floor is nothing but gym equipment that is state of the art and there is a kitchen all stainless-steel appliances and black marble counters. Everything is all sharp and clean there is nothing out of place and everything looks and smells brain new as rose walks in behind me “WOW!! This place looks amazing and clean and why does everything smell new!!” she says all excited and goes to talk the counter but before she does “please don’t touch” we are all looking around the room and we cant find the voice at all. The Alpha chuckles “Jaz how about you come down and stop confusing your Mate” my bata and I look at one another then at my sister and we are all perplexed. I look at the Alpha “Alpha?” “Alpha Jax” “Alpha Jax, what doe you mean Mate??” the next this I know I smell apples and Carmel and a hit of chocolate, but I don’t know where the smell is coming from. Where is she… “Jaz please stop confusing the poor guy and let him see you.” I hear a giggle but the smell is getting stronger and I’m still standing in the same stop looking all around and I hear rose gigging and I hear them all laughing “what is so funny???” I’m asking while looking at the three of them and I end on rose and she points funny???” I’m asking while looking at the three of them and I end on rose and she points up and I look up and when I do my nose is inches from her face and all I can see emerald green eyes and I’m blow away by how she’s been right there the whole time and before I know it she kisses my nose and some how climbs up and disappears like gone in thin air. I don’t even smell her. I look at her Alpha and he’s looking up still shaking his head “sorry she’s very mischievous when she wants to be. But she will be back for the ball” my sister is laughing so hard I haven’t heard her laugh in so long that I look at her and is like she’s having a conversation with someone that now there. “who are you talking to rose?” My sister looks at me and looks like she got caught doing something she wasn’t supposed to. “Oh, I’m talking to your mate” “what there’s no one there” I tell her “Jaz go do what your supposed to do for the luna and ill get your guests ready.” Alpha Jax says “yes sir and make sure Rose sees the dress I have for her and both guys tuxes...” and just like that the front door opens and closes. I look at him so confused and trying to understand what just happened “so if you folks will follow me ill show you to your rooms. Oh, and Alpha Asher you will be having to train will her in the morning and she said your in the dog house” rose starts laughing even more then before “umm ok what does that mean?” rose walks over to me and whispers “it means no sex brother” then starts laughing again. I groan and continue to follow Alpha Jax to where he’s taking us, we have passed by an office and a pool and a dance room and a library. We come upon a door, and he turns to face us “Alpha, I want you to know that if you gain her trust and everything thing you would be the ONLY guy to ever be in her bed. And you three are the only ones who’s ever been allowed to stay here the whole time my dear Jaz as lived with me I allowed her to build this here because she’s very independent. Yes she provides for the pack with her own business that she started on her 18th birthday and she has accomplished a lot more then ive been alive she’s resurrected more people then I’ll ever achieved and um... ive turned her into a killing machine to ensure her own safety because …... fuck that’s all I can say because of the command… but Alpha Asher this is your room.” He opens the room, and I walk in, and he closes it behind me. I looked at the closed door surprised as she closed it. I start looking around. The whole room is celling to floor glass walls on one side is all open from the bed to bathroom no other walls everything is a dark theme conception the bed is at least a California king bed; with a blue comforter and the curtains are black and there is a fire place on the opposite side of the room already going. However, I don’t smell her scent at all like she’s never stepped in her at all. I look over by the bed and there’s a note. I walk to the note. Pick it up and I’m extremely impressed with the handwriting.

Dear mate,

This house has never been slept in because I love my pack. However, when our family comes to visit my family, we can enjoy this house inside of the noise pack house with so many scents of the others. There should be plenty of things for y’all to do this week. I will be there tonight however it won’t be the way you want. I’m constantly on mission because I’m looking for someone to know me before I was 16 all I know about myself is my name and what I looked like back then I have traveled the world to find something about myself. I do accept you and ive had dreams about you since I was 18 and could not find you till you found me. The less you know of me at this precise moment the less you are in danger at your pack. The only reason my Alpha knows of me is because he saved me at 16 years old and trained me to be how I am today. If you want to know more about me, please my dear wait for me. I will be around leaving you notes. I want to make sure you’re safe because of my background whoever is around me is always in danger from my past.

Your mate

Jaz
