A Million Questions

Alpha Clayton Blackridge (A Million Questions)

Getting back to camp I am a mix of emotions, some I am unfamiliar with. The last thing I need is for Talia and her onslaught of questions that seem to sound more like accusations. I walk past her, ignoring the way she is chattering. I continue heading for my cabin, as I reach the steps she grabs my arm trying to stop me. 

“Take your hand off me” I growl at her as my wolf surges forward wanting to rip her apart for even daring to touch us. I know my eye must have flashed to those of my wolf, Talia drops her hand and takes a step back as my Alpha aura trickles out of me, she bends her neck in submission. 

“Clay, why are you acting like this?” Her sickly sweet voice irritates me, she always used it and I just allowed it in the past even though my wolf hated her touching me I just allowed it. Right now I just need to be alone. My mind was a mass of emotions. Sighing I stop and turn to face her.

“Look, I just need to be alone” She screws up her face “Is this because of that she-wolf?” Her voice almost growled.

“Watch yourself, Talia” I say as I allow my aura to explode from me, she takes a step back a whimper coming from her wolf. 

“Sorry, Alpha” Is all she says before she turns and leaves. Dragging my hand down my face as I know for a fact I’ll pay for that, she’s a crazy bitch at times.

I have only just closed the door when a knock comes, I already know it’s Trent my Beta. He walks in without waiting for me to answer; Note to self learn to lock the door. 

“What did you do to Poison? She looks ready to torture some small animils” Trent hates Talia, I don’t exactly know why but he doesn’t hide it. 

“Nothing, what do you want?” I say as I drop into my sofa. 

He eyes me for a moment before sitting across from me, “Spill, what's wrong? Something has happened” Ever the perspective, Trent has always been able to see through me. He is also my cousin so we grew up side by side, born two months apart. 

“Well?” He asks, leaning forward in his chair. “I found my Mate” I watch as his eyes go wide “Wow, I did not expect that. So what's the problem?” 

I lean forward trying to think how to even explain when I don't even know myself. “She was a warrior for that Red Fang pack, she appeared when we were running the line searching for the missing” 

Trent frowns “Ok, and because there has to be more to this” I place my head in my hands, sighing before looking up at him.

“She was tiny, her wolf was stunning, toned and fit. To be honest she was a little defencive, but her wolf wanted us I could feel it” 

“Wait, there is definitely something else Clay, I know you and I also know you have waited for your Mate so come on” I look at him he’s right but how can I explain what I am feeling when I don’t know myself. 

“She is younger, I went back there is something going on with her it’s as though she is on a death wish. She was arguing with her Alpha, like proper disrespect” I can’t help smiling at the memory of her taunting him.

"She’s fierce Trent, like a wild kind of look in her eye. That wet wipe Dylan is her Alpha” 

This time Trent smiles, like a cheshire cat, he went to high school with Dylan he was a few years under us but Trent hates him. He rubs his hands together. 

“So, when are we going to collect our Luna?” I smile at this, Enyo would make one hell of a Luna. 

“He mentioned her being in the dungions, and getting whipped” Trent growls, “Fucking bastard, picking on females” he spits out through clenched teeth.

“That’s the thing she didn’t give a shit, she told him to get his Luna to whip her, it might have better bite” This time we both start laughing.

“Shit Clay, she sounds perfect for you” I slump back in my seat feeling a little lighter for sharing this with him. 

“So that's what is wrong with poison? She knows you found your Luna” I close my eyes; Shit. 

“Nope I only told you so keep it to yourself not even Fen” He frowns again, Fen is his Mate. 

“You're no fun” He pouts. 

“So what's your plan?” He says eagerly, I think for a moment.

“Not sure, are you on patrol tonight?” I ask him, as a smile spreads across this crazy bastard’s face.

“Nope night off and Fen is with her sister, why?” 

“Do you want to run the fence again in case we see her?”

He jumps up “Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see this little spitfire that has you all bent out of shape” 

He laughs “Wait, what's her name did you find out?” I look up at my over excited Beta knowing he will love this, us both growing up with the Gods.

“Enyo” Trent clapped his hands and started laughing.

“Our Luna is named after the Goddess of war, hell should I call you Aires?” I throw my cushion at him, us both laughing proper belly laughing.

I feel a bit lighter and more positive, I didn’t mention the scars that litter her skin. My Beta may be playful but when it comes to women and abuse he starts handing out his own kind of punishment. My aunt, his mother was abused by his father and it wasn’t until Trent got his wolf he attacked his father. Turns out the prick had been beating them all, his mum, sister and him. 

I grab us a beer from the refrigerator, handing him one, then I ask how Fen is doing. She is currently pregnant with their first pup. She is polar opposite to Trent, little and quiet, born an Omega she is so submissive sometimes Trent gets annoyed. He once told me she thought he would reject her for having no rank. That really got to him; he's not the type to care for any of that.

He loves his mate and is not afraid to show her or others, I feel slight envy at times but hopefully soon I will be the same. This thought has my wolf purring as I think of my little mate.
