Nathan
I left Megan in good hands with Julie last night and I went to my office to contact my best trackers and inform them to continue searching for any rogues and I want at least one alive to question. We need to figure out the reason for them to slaughter a whole pack.
After sending out the messages I went upstairs to take a shower and go to bed. After a long-troubled night, I lay in bed looking up at the ceiling thinking about my mate. I promised myself to give her time. But this damn bond I am with a constant hard-on. I already released myself in the shower last night while thinking of my lovely mate. Yet I woke up with another damn hard-on. I don’t know how long I can stay away from my mate as each day the bond continues to grow.
Since I can no longer sleep, I get up and shower again and dress in jeans and a button-up shirt with the sleeves folded to my elbows, and head to my office to get a little work in before breakfast.
As I am working, I hear close to my office door a soft female voice asking someone, “Can you please direct me to the Alpha’s office?”
“Yeah, it is that double door right over there,” I hear what sounds like one of my warriors say.
I then hear the same female say, “Thank you,”
It wasn’t but a second later when I hear a knock on the door. It didn’t take a genius to figure out it was my mate as her scent was quite strong. I close my eyes and inhale before answering, “Come in.”
The door opens and she peers in at me, “Am I bothering you, Alpha?”
“No.” I shake my head, “Not at all. Come in.” I say with a smile.
She walks in and closes the door behind her then walks to one of the chairs in front of my desk and sits down.
I hear her taking a deep breath as she looks down at her hands in her lap. “I want to say, Thank you, for the beautiful send-off for my family. I didn’t expect you to do it. I am very grateful.”
“Of course, I would have done for any Alpha and family. It is the least I can do for a brave man and the soul of a young pup. I am really sorry for your loss. I cannot come close to understanding that kind of pain.”
I see tears gathering in her eyes, yet she stayed strong as she said, “Look I know we are mates, and for some reason, I don’t understand as to why the Moon goddess decided to mate me as soon as I lose my family.” She sighs before looking up, “It is not for me to question the Goddess but, I need time. Can you respect that?”
“Megan, I have no plans to force myself on you. I promise to respect you, and yes, take all the time you need. All I ask is to use the time and get to know me, Ok?”
She nods, “Ok. Thank you.” She gets up and walks out and I sit back in my seat of course, with another hard-on.
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and decide to go down to the gym and work out this sexual frustration.
In the gym, I change into my workout clothes and hit the weights. I wasn’t the only one there working out. My Gamma Gary was there.
“Hey, man. You are working extra hard. Anything wrong?” He asks me as he runs on the treadmill.
“Just some frustration. I guess you will be seeing me here more than usual in the weeks to come.”
He snickered, “By chance does it have anything to do with that beautiful young Luna from the other Pack?”
“It has everything to do with her.” I sigh, “It’s so frustrating having a mate and cannot act upon it.”
“I wouldn’t know. I have yet to find mine.” He grinned at me.
“Well once you do, then you will understand,” I say doing sit-ups.
“Well, I hope to be blessed soon. I have been waiting for the goddess to send me a mate for some time now.”
“Just be patient, it will happen,” I said deciding on the treadmill next.
“I do suspect who my mate is, but she is only sixteen and barely got her wolf. I won’t know for sure until she turns eighteen.” He tells me.
I look over t him as we run together, “Is it, Carla Reynolds?” I ask, “I have noticed you watching her more these days.”
He smiles, “Yeah, I feel a strong pull towards her. I believe she will be my mate.”
“Well, if that is the case then I am happy for you. She is beautiful and would be a perfect mate for you.” I smile at my Gamma.
He smiles back, “Yeah, that she will be.”
After my work out Gary and I showered in the locker room and changed our clothes. We walked together up to the dining room for breakfast when her smell hits me. I was pleasantly surprised to see her down enjoying breakfast and sitting where my Luna should be sitting. I sat next to her at the head just as an omega set a plate down in front of me. I looked over at her and smiled.
“It is a nice surprise to see you down here,” I say as I take a bite of my ham and eggs.
“I decided it was time for me to officially meet the Pack as they did offer support at the send-off even though they didn’t know my mate and son. I was touched by how many showed up to honor them.” She said as she took a sip of her coffee.
I smiled at her, “We care for our kind. And when one or more falls we feel it. I am glad most of my pack members show up to show their respects.”
“What of the fallen in my Pack? What happened to their bodies?”
“We had a send-off for them as well. I would not have left them to rot. That would have been disrespectful of me. And I am not like that.” I say picking up my mug.
“I appreciate that. I really do. There were many good wolves in my pack, and I will miss them all.”
Just then I get a mind-link from my head warrior Carl, ‘Alpha, we managed to capture a rogue. We are taking him down to the cells now.’
‘Great, I will be right down.’
Nathan (POV)I couldn’t be any happier than I am right now. I am going to be a father. Our family will be complete. After the doctor left, I placed my hand on my mate’s stomach and smiled at her as I leaned down and kissed her forehead.“Our pup,” I whispered in her ear. I was ecstatic. I couldn’t keep the smile off my face.I looked deeply into the eyes of Megan and that is when I saw it. Concern, dread, fear. I frowned as I asked, “Are you not happy, Love?”“You have to remember what all I have already been through,” She spoke in a tight voice.“It won’t repeat,” I say as I realize her big concern. “I promise you. It will not happen again. All three of us will be ok.”“I just can’t live with the thought of losing another mate and a child. I just can’t.” She broke down and sobbed, as I took her in my arms and held her.‘Goddess, I promise with my life there will be no repeat of what happened.’ I vowed to myself in my head. She has been through enough. I won’t let anything happen to m
Megan (POV)When the secret wall opened, and I saw Nathan running in giving an all-clear he spotted me and ran to me as I ran into his arms. I was so scared that I would lose him like I did Jason. I wouldn’t survive losing another mate.Nathan kisses me then kisses my forehead before saying, “The other Alphas are leaving us with four hundred and fifty of their strongest warriors, so along with ours we will not be caught off guard.”I breathed a sigh and nodded, “I am glad they came to help. I will forever be grateful.” My arms hugged him tightly, “And I am so glad you are ok. I don’t know how I would survive if anything ever happened to you.”His arms tightened, “Nothing will happen, my love. We have good friends and allies and now extra strong warriors.”“Still if any…”He cut me off, “I promise you nothing will happen to me.” As an afterthought, he added, “Or you.” He leans and kisses me sweetly as we hold each other.We stood there for a while just holding each other as we heard pe
Nathan (POV)So now we know who is behind all this. The question is how did he get rogues to work with him?After what Megan had told me I called for a meeting with my Beta and Gamma.“And this Kevin is behind all this?” Asked my Beta Jonathan. After I told him what Megan told me.“It has to be. Who else would want my mate?”He nods his head in agreement. As I continued, “But the question we need to figure out is, how is he getting rogues to cooperate with him?”“I can look into that for you,” Gary my Gamma suggests to me.Gary is a great tracker and has warriors under him who are skilled in finding things out. And I know he is devoted and quite loyal to me and is protective of his Luna.I nod, “Okay, just remember we are on a time crunch before they fall through with their threat.”“Over my dead body, Nate. No one will ever get our Luna. We have waited a long time for you to find her. We will all protect her with our lives.” Gary says standing from his chair.Before he leaves the roo
Megan (POV)I am in our room watching our son play with his blocks on the floor as I sew one of his favorite stuffed toys that had a little hole in it. I am smiling as he laughs in his play. I hear the door and my mate walks in.“Hey, little guy.” He says as he bends down and picks up our son and lifts him high and flies him around like an airplane. Making our son laugh hard. I laugh along with them and feel happy. I have my son and watching his father play with him warms my heart.He kisses our son’s cheek and puts him down to finish playing with his blocks. He then walks over to me and kisses me on the lips as I put the sewing down. “And how is my beautiful mate today?” He asks me.“I am doing well and quite happy.”He smiles at me. “I am happy too. You and our son are my life, and I will do everything I can to protect you both.”“I know you will. Let’s hope it will never come to that,” I say touching his cheek lovingly.Just then a knock sounds on the door and my mate gets up to an
NathanI watched Megan walk down towards the stage and my breath caught in my throat. She looked radiant in a royal blue off-one-shoulder evening gown. I still have a tough time believing this woman is my mate. She is everything I have ever desired in a mate. I couldn’t help the smile on my face as I reach my hand out to help her up the last two steps to me.Once on the stage, I announced in a clear voice, “We are here to celebrate my finding after all these years, my fated mate and Luna. Megan McQueen soon to be Megan Williams, my wife.” She smiles at me as I kiss her hand before taking the dagger and pacing her hand over the silver bowl. I slice her hand then sliced mine and join our hands as our blood joins and drips into the bowl.I feel the power surge flow from me to Megan as we both lift the bowl first to my mouth for a taste than to hers. I can tell exactly when the link to the pack opened to her thoughts as her eyes widen.‘You are the Luna of the Blue Lake pack now.’ I say i
MeganI liked Kat right off the bat. I hope the two of us can become friends. I watched as she gave instructions for our warmups including a three-mile run as well as push-ups and jumping jacks. I had not realized how out of shape I was, yet I was determined to give my best.Kat seemed pleased I was able to keep up and smiled as I ran passed her.“You are doing great, Luna.” She said as I was on the last mile around the track.I was actually surprised I wasn’t the last one. I was the fifth out of twenty beginners. After we were finished, Kat walked up to me. “Luna, you are catching on fast. I can tell you are going to surpass a few in this class.”I smiled, “Really? And please call me Megan.”She laughed, “Alright, Megan, and yes really.” She says patting my shoulder as she walked inside the circle we created.“Alright now. I am going to demonstrate a few basic maneuvers that I want you to team up in twos and try. Luna? I would like you teamed with me.”I nod and walked to stand next
