Mate!

Daniel's pov

The steam from my bath was still visible in the bathroom as I shaved. Once I was done, I threw a towel over my shoulders before stepping out of my bathroom, in my briefs.

My Beta, Cerinna was standing there in my room, my pajamas in her outstretched hand which I took when I stepped out, wiping the side of my fave which still had some of my shaving cream with my towel.

"Thanks a lot, Cerinna" I sit back on the bed and start dressing before turning to her. "But shouldn't you be asleep now? We had a pretty long day today."

"Are you seriously planning on sleeping as well?" She folded her arms and gave me a dissapproving look and I roll my eyes, knowing what she was going In for.

"Cerinna, Bryan and I may be twins, but we're different. The war between the rogues and our pack finally ended today with us taking victory. If Bryan wants to celebrate by fucking a random she-wolf, then I don't care. I'm going to sleep."

She rolled her eyes and threw her hands up In the air.

"Fine. But I'm just saying. You're not going to find your mate if you think staying a virgin boy will… "

"Do you think fucking anything in a skirt helps as well?" I cut her off with an authorative tone, sign that this conversation was over and she would be challenging me if she pressed the matter any further.

Cerinna was my best friend and my Beta, but there are certain times I had to let her know who was the Alpha and the Beta when she was pushing past her boundaries.

"Sorry Alpha Daniel.. " she apologized and I dismissed her before buttoning the last of my shirt.

Long before she left, I could finally sleep, but each time, I could hear the whimpers of a girl and hushed voices of some people.

I tried to ignore it, but the girl's voice seemed to be calling out to me, and in seconds, I found myself searching for her, and it doesn't take me less than ten minutes to find a locked room somewhere in the basement.

I break the door down when I hear the girl screaming in a muffled voice, and when I climb down the stairs, I see one of the pack warriors holding a girl tightly in his grip and some other men surrounded around her.

"What's going on here?" I demand in anger, and I see the fear drench them like a cold bucket of water on recognizing me.

"A- Alpha Daniel.. y- you're here." One acknowledges, trembling.

My eyes lock with the arm tightly holding onto the girl's hand and they darken.

"Let her go.."

"But… "

"But what? Do you dare refute my order?" My eyes glow a crimson red, other than my normal golden irises and he released her immediately.

"Does anyone care to explain what's going on?"

No one speaks, and I had a feeling that Bryan had a hand in this, but what was his concern with an eight year old girl?

"My sister.." the girl starts to speak and she suddenly runs towards me, falls at my feet and holds my legs.

She was just a kid.

A human even.

What was she doing here.

"Your sister?" I turn to the pack warriors who had long ago refused to meet my euwsndue to guilt. What was going on? "what about her?"

"They call Alpha… " she looked up at me with tear filled eyes. "They say you have my sister… please don't hurt her. She's all I have. Please.. " she starts wailing loudly and my blood runs cold when I begin to fix the pieces in together. "They threatened to kill me if she doesn't do what you say.. and I… "

I suddenly reach for the pack warrior closest to me and had him pinned to the wall with my hands around his neck.

"What is she talking about?!" I growl at him. "Speak or I'll wring your life out your body right now.."

He starts stuttering, forcing the words out his lips.

"Alpha Bryan said he wanted a woman whom he'd spend the night with and asked us to get him a half breed who was a virgin and yet to be touched."

A half breed was a human and a half werewolf.

"But since we couldn't find a half breed still with her innocence, we sought out for a human…"

Hearing his words, I got even more angry, but that didn't deter me from patiently waiting to hear the rest of his words.

"And then we found Sarah, and while we were chasing them, we discovered that she was intent of protecting her.. " he gestured to Nancy. "So we decided to take them both so we could use her and make her do whatever we want… "

"She's with my brother now?" I ask and he nods immediately. Growling in anger and disgust, I let him drop to the ground before turning to Nancy who was staring at me in fear.

I suddenly scoop her in my arms, and despite the fear in her eyes previously, she wraps her arms around my neck and sons against me while I head for my room.

I let her down and after assuring her I would return with her sister, I leave her there with my door locked.

With each step I took to my brother's room, my rage intensifies such that when I approach the door and see that it is locked, all it takes was one kick before it went crashing down and I walked in.

To my disgust, Bryan had a young looking girl underneath him, his dirty hands underneath her gown.

But right now, Bryan got up from the bed and as the girl quickly began shielding her body with the sheets, he headed towards me with anger and viciousness in his eyes.

"What the hell Da- " I don't give him a chance to finish his words before I swing my hand and catch his across the jaw and watch as he staggers back and topples clumsily on the couch in the room.

I move towards him threateningly, but I freeze in my tracks when I feel my blood boil and my heart beat race faster for no reason.

Yes, I was angry and mad to the point of wanting to rip my brother into pieces, but this feeling was not the feeling of anger at all.

It was much more familiar, yet…

My eyes suddenly moved to the girl on the bed, and when our eyes locked, a rush of sweet scenting roses and chocolates infiltrate my nostrils, and I can feel my wolf clawing at the surface of my entire being as it screams.

Mate!!!
