{ Raine }
I was overwhelmed with the idea of belonging to a pack. I’d seen what it was like here. The way people loves and cared for each other and I wanted that.
“What is it dad?” I asked as we entered the conference room and closed the doors. This room had sound proofing on the walls that we could see so it was perfect.
“Raine, I want to say that I am so happy for you. You and the alpha seem to be happy already and I can tell he will be good for you. I’m very excited for you and your wolf to have a home,” he said with a big smile.
“But,” I said, continuing for him.
”Not but, I am very happy. AND. There is something you need to know before you take that blood oath. The alpha and you will each cut your hand and then shake. It bonds you forever to the pack. But when you do this, he will be able to feel your power. Not the wolf kind.” he said, giving me the knowing eyBefore I could knock the door opened and there was Alex with a goofy smile on his face waiting excitedly. I giggled at his eagerness and followed him in. He went behind his desk and pulled out a gorgeous, old knife and laid it on the table. “Tell me what you are thinking? And feeling?” he asked me. “Well, I am nervous. And excited. I don’t know what will happen with this blood oath but I… can’t wait to be apart of something. With this pack, and you. For this to be my new home.” I told him with as much honesty as possible. “Raine, I’ve spent the last 2.5 years, longer if we are being honest, thinking I was going to be alone. Second chance mates are rare. So when Caroline left I resigned to it being just my son and I, forever. And I was ok with that, Cooper is my whole world and I wanted to be present and be his. But when I smelled you today, when I saw you, I felt like the goddess had given me a gift. And I have nev
I slowly got off of him and he wasn’t happy. The pout he gave me made me chuckle. I fixed my wardrobe and he stood, adjusting himself in his pants to look more discreet. I smiled knowing the affect I had on him and as I sat there breathing in new air I was secretly grateful for the interruption. We should probably take it a tiny bit slower. Although I wondered if we would be able to.“Come in,” My mate boomed out.The door opened to a woman in a doctor’s coat. She was probably in her 30s with a kind smile on her face as she stepped in. She tilted her head at me curiously but didn’t’ say anything.”Dr. Moreno, what can we do for you?”“Hello Alpha, I hope I was not interrupting, however I would like to discuss my mate with you.” she said, looking between us clearly knowing that something was going on before she walked in.
“You better call Mom and Dad, like tonight.” “I know, I know, its on the agenda. I can’t tell the pack until I tell them,” I answered. She nodded, happy with my answer. I watched as Cooper slept on Raine and she and Yesenia chatter for a few minutes about her due date, where Raine was from, Raine gave her a brief rundown of her past two days, Matthew and promised to tell her the full story over breakfast one day soon. We walked away and I couldn’t help the joy I felt as the three of us walked to the pack house together. “How many siblings do you have?” She asked me as we reached Cooper’s room and placed him in his bed. “Three. I also have a little brother who is between Yesenia and Anna in age. Antoine is 18 and with my parents on the trip. We are all only about a year apart and have been close my whole life,” I told her. We walked away from Cooper’s room and I showed her the two avai
I watched as my mate shook his head disappointed at the three wolves standing in front of him. He was furious, I could tell that much. He was yelling at the wolves who had their heads bowed. I hadn’t seen this side of him, this was the Alpha side, the tough side and from the outside looking in he was relatively terrifying.I couldn’t make out what they were saying but Nel stood next to Alex with his arms across his chest looking just as livid as Alex. The three wolves took a knee and then ran off after Alex seemingly dismissed them. I watched as Alex let out a string of curse words and turned to Nel. They talked for a few minutes, both still angry it seemed before walking down the field to the other end. It was only now that I saw the rogue wolf at the end of the field in chains. He was practically foaming at the mouth and was yelling profanities at the wolves who were holding him.I watched as Nel and Alex approached. Nel walked
{ Alex }I let her walk a step in front of me specially so I could check her out while she walked. She was still adjusting her bra and dress as we walked acorss the field and I couldn’t help the smirk on my face as I watched. Goddess she was something else. I hadn’t meant to go that far at all with her. I had literally woke up this morning telling myself to take it extra slow, to earn her the old fashioned way if need be and be patient with her. But one wiff of her arousal and I lost every ounce of control.It has only been a few minutes since I was going down on her and I already am reminiscing. It’s been a long time since I kissed or held anyone, let alone was intimate. Since Caroline I shut myself off in that way from everyone. Now I cannot stop thinking about burying myself deep inside Raine over and over.“Can you stop staring at my ass and come walk next to me please?”
We hadn’t walked more than 5 steps when I felt arms wrap around my bicep. Based on the lack of sparks and horrible scent that hit my nose I knew it wasn’t my mate so I immediately took a step away. I turned and sure enough, it was Normita, the pack slut. I had done what I could to avoid her since I was young and was proud to be able to say I had never let her in my bed. Even Car gave in one time and he regrets it. “Normita, please do not touch me without permission,” I told her a bit coldly but it didn’t phase her. “Oh come now Alpha, it’s been a long time you’ve been alone. I’ve been keeping my space as have the rest of the females in the pack. But word on the street is that you were seen kissing one of the women in the pack in front of the pack house. So you’re back in the game, and what better place to start than with me?” She asked me, using what I assumed was supposed to be her seductive voice. She had placed another hand on my arm
I found her around one of the bonfires. She was sitting on a bench with a dozen of the kids from the pack, including Cooper. Cooper was on her lap and the other kids were scattered around her listening intently as she told a story. I couldn’t help the pride I felt watching her. She fit in so well here and I still couldn’t believe she was mine. As I approached she saw me and seemed to know it was time. She placed Cooper on the bench with the kids and walked to me. I took her hand and we made our way towards the make shift stage that we always had set up for meetings. I stood on the stage alone with her to the side in the crowd at first. Rogue first, mate second was the order of announcements tonight. I cleared my throat and the grounds slowly went quiet. 1400 sets of eyes were on me and I waited another beat for the kids to stop chattering as well. “Welcome everyone, thank you for coming to this barbeque. The food h
“Beta Ricci, its good to see you,” Alex said as he shook his hand. “We were expecting your alpha…” He trailed off at the end, leaving room for the explanation he clearly was expecting. I could feel his aura radiating power, he was pushing it out more than usual and it was domineering. I felt myself get hot just feeling him show off a little. The beta cleared his throat, clearly the three alphas surrounding him was getting to him, my alpha in particular. “Alpha Lorenzo send his regards, they had planned to come but the Luna got sick at the last minute. She is in the last few weeks of her pregnancy and didn’t feel well enough to travel so he sent me,” Ricci said while he wiggled his fingers at his side. I watched him carefully and felt like he was lying about something, hiding something. Alex, Garcia and Schmidt showed the same concern on their faces. “Ah, well that is un
