Now with that sorted I suppose I had better ring Alex and ask him to fill in for me. I pick up the phone and dial his number he was all too eager to temporarily fill my alpha position even if it were just for the weekend. Although he is my beta and not by choice we both had been through extensive alpha training from a young age just in case something should happen to me or he was mated to a Luna from another pack. So I have no doubt of his abilities for the weekend. If I’m being honest with myself he was almost just as strong ,ruthless and fearless at the academy he only ever lost to me by a hair fraction and that’s what worries me about the council asking i take a chosen mate. Alex is already mated and the only person to come close to my brute strength, tactical and pack political affairs. he truly would have made a great alpha and leader instead his my second in command I know his just waiting for me to slip up so he take the position from me. He would never challenge me for the title because it would mean my parents would lose a son one way or another and he would never put them in that position to lose a child.
With that sorted I ring a first class catering company to set up the best of the best dinner for two with all the extras for Sunday when I plan to ask esme to be my chosen I want the ambiance and everything to be fit for a queen she deserves no less. my mind drifts off to one sexy sandy blonde haired green eyed she wolf whose long legs and perfect body muscles are enough to make my mind go crazy with lust. Then I hear Lycus my wolf “you should stop obsessing with her our mate is out there as is hers I have a bad feeling along with a sense that we will find our fated mate soon so you better not stuff this up” shut it mutt what could go wrong I’ve already seen the witches should the mate issue arise I told you I don’t want my fated I want no one else by my side but esme I’m prepared to reject my mate on site and you or anyone else can not change my mind about this I’m the alpha and I will get what I want one way or another got that clear mutt I’m in charge here not you. Lycus let’s off a deep threatening growl Huffs and mumbles to the back of my subconscious and blocks me out. Good little pup. As I’m about to call it a day my assistant Lexie’s voice comes through the intercom “alpha Sampson alpha clause from high tide pack is on the line he says he needs to speak to you urgently. do I put the call through? or tell him you are busy.”“Put it through and take no more calls for today I’m heading home after this call and so should you I’m sure your pups are waiting for you.”“Yes alpha thank you.”Esme pov After my lunch with Sampson I head home I unlock the door and walk inside and squeal with excitement as I throw myself onto my bed at the thought of going to the beach house. I’ve been looking for my mate for 6 years no one believes in fate destiny and mates more than I do. I’m starting to feel lonely while I’m surrounded by friends and family their love and support me and live a good life I feel lonely my soul and body yearns for a deeper connection. Most of the unmated wolves my age are dating or in temporary relationships but I’ve waited and saved myself for my mate only their touch could satisfy my body and set my soul on fire. I’ve searched all the packs in this country I attend the annual mating balls twice every year since I became of age and am yet to find them. both me and my wolf Emery have a good feeling about finding our mate at the beach house emery said she can feel a pull to that area it was her idea to go away for the weekend to the beach house so I’m ecstat
After a few hours of shopping and pampering I flick clary a text “hey I’m at the mall wanna grab some dinner with me x” he replies straight away I love that he is a fast replier . “Sure I’m around the corner at the bar be there in 10mins xo” he finds me at the food court he sits down across from me smelling of booze and sins. “Sooo I was thinking you should should join us next weekend on our mate hunt a mate might be good for you. might settle you down just a little.” At the mention of the beach house his demeanour and mood shifted and he had a frown upon his face “Sampson the fucktard left me in charge of your duties while you two are gone.” “Hmm maybe I could ask him to give my duties to Trevor and you can come with us I thought you had the weekend off anyway.” “I did but he basically said I’m the alpha you are working that’s final.” I cross my arms over my chest “hmmph that’s not like him at act that way with you what’s gotten into him.” “I don’t know but what ever happens at
Tiffany brings our drinks to the table and whispers sweet nothings into clary’s ear as his eyes light up and desire runs through him. I clear my throat so they both remember I’m here before a barf. They both get the hint and Tiffany walks off swaying her hips while clary watches her ass as she walks away. “I feel bad for your mate when you find her she’s getting a man whore for a mate bro” I laugh. Trevor from our elite team spots us and makes his way to our table. “Can it sit with yous” as he pulls out a chair. “You know it Trev couldn’t say no even if I wanted to don’t want to get on that bad temper of yours I seen what you done to Sam last week here.” Clary says. If tall dark and handsome were a man it would be Trevor he has beautiful golden tanned skin dark brown hair with hazel eye his abs look like they’ve been chiseled by a god or goddess his charming funny and almost a match for clary’s strength. I low key had a crush on him in high school I remember wanting my fated mate to
Tiffany comes over and Sampson doesn’t show the same interest in her that clary does she says she knows what the other 3 are ordering what did the alpha like to drink. He replies the same as esme just a coke for me. Tiffany looks dumb founded she’s been having rounds of whiskey would you like whiskey too or just coke his mouth drops and says make both mine and esmes drinks coke from now on. She just looks at him then me I give her a small nod in agreement she walks away to get our drinks not before clary gives her an ass slap and licks his lips when she turns back around she just give him a cheeky grin in return. Sampson turns back around and says how about a game of doubles Trevor and I vs clary and Esme I pout “but Trev was teaching me how to play can’t we be on a team together?” “How about you team up with me and I will teach you how to play? ““No thanks I’m having a good time playing with Trevor you two play on the same team. “We enjoy a couple more games and I decided I need
After Sampson dropped me home I headed for the shower to freshen up and get ready for bed I had training then a pack meeting in the morning regarding the rogue situation. I get out the shower towel drying my hair when the front door bursts open and the house is full of laughter and the sound of voices. Clary walking into the living room with his arm wrapped around Tiffany’s shoulder and Trevor in tow. A look of surprise on my face clary has never bought home this much company before I’m usually asleep when he has company and his girl guests are usually gone before we get up to train in the mornings. I’ve never heard them leave thank the goddess for sound proof rooms us wolves tend to use them with our advanced hearing it’s definitely needed. Tiffany looks at me with a huge smile “we bought the after party to you and you won’t have to worry about alpha party pooper baby sitting you” Trevor let’s out a humph noise at her remarks she lifts up both hands with a bottle of whiskey in both a
I walk out the shower to tiff, clary and alpha bag of dicks all cleaning up the mess in the house I make my way to the coffee machine to get that much needed caffeine boost as I do tiff come up behind me and gives me a hug “I’m sorry esme for bringing drinks over I didn’t know you would be in this much trouble I’m so sorry I caused you so much trouble with the alpha” she looked down at her feet and I felt the sincerity of her apology.“That’s okay it’s not your fault don’t feel bad I’m a consenting adult and have every right to let my hair down for once. it’s not you who should be apologising it’s sampson who should be apologising for acting like a dick”“You’re very humble esme you are the perfect balance of soft and hard don’t change for anyone I hope we can continue to be friends with or without clary I could do with a female friend”“We sure will I definitely need a female companion too with all the testosterone in this place.. hey and how about we get you back into training I’m s
Alpha sampsons pov After I dismissed the meeting I head into my office I have a raging stress headache first this whole rogue situation and esme and Trevor. I wanted to rip his head off his shoulders this morning and nearly exposed my undying love for Esme in the process of it all. I know how she feels about mates but I lost all reasoning and rationale when I walked into her room to see Trevor shirtless and had spent the night in Esmes room. I owe clary big time not only did he stop me right before I was about to lunge at Trevor but we had a fight something I’m not proud of I hit my oldest and most dearest friend the one person who has kept my secret and will always be by my side. I’m still feeling uneasy about esme and Trevor so I’ve sent Ralph one of my warriors to follow esme discreetly and have him touch base should Trevor meet up with her. It’s a bit rash but she did have a huge crush on him when we were younger and the thought drives me crazy. I’ve organised the catering for Su
Esme pov I’ve made taco’s and clary made burritos for pot luck tonight the door bell rings I wonder who that could be because Sampson never uses the door he just walks in like it’s home. I answer the door to see Tiffany standing there with a plate of nachos in her hands. I’m surprised and confused this isn’t like clary to keep a girl for this long nor inviting her to inner circle movie nights usually it’s just the 3 amigo’s clary Sampson and I that’s also why we made Mexican food it’s a pun on our group name. I am happy she’s here though it would be good to have some female company and I really clicked with tiff once I got past her outer layer. I wonder if she bought some tequila shots I giggle to myself.“Hey tiff good to see you glad you could make it to movie night I love nachos and the fact you followed the theme. any chance you had your schedule for me to look over we can start you training straight away if you do” “It’s in my bag I’m so excited I can’t thank you enough for thi
