Ch. 2 My obsession

Renzo 18. Saoirse 14

Renzo POV:

To say my little Saoirse was blooming into a beautiful woman was an understatement. That girl was favored by the Goddess, unashamedly. At her age, most girls had embarrassing pimples to worry about or tight lip smiles to hide painful braces. My Saoirse was perfect, and one day, she will be my mate. Tomorrow will be her 14 birthday, the age when most teenagers get our wolves. I still remember when I got my wolf, Blaze, 4 years ago. Saoirse loved him at first sight.

4 years ago

Saoirse was in awe of Blaze. Blaze was a huge silver wolf with a blue sheen around its fur. He stood proudly while she caressed its fur.

"You're beautiful, Blaze. You and Renzo will be the best Alphas in the world once Alpha Lorenzo makes him Alpha of the pack."

From then on, we became inseparable. I would take her for a run on my back around the forest, and she would hold tightly to my neck. She would do her homework by the lake and take long naps cuddling next to Blaze in the afternoons. We spent together a lot as her parents were always busy at the hospital. Our parents had always encouraged our friendship. After all, I was the future alpha of the pack, and her parents had healing powers. We would surely make a powerful couple.

"Hey, Renzo," Shane approached me on my way to pick up Saoirse from school.

"Everything okay, Shane ?"

"Not, really," Shane answered while he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.

"What seems to be the problem?"

"Renzo, we're leaving for Alpha training the day after tomorrow, and you haven't even packed. I also told you last week that tonight will be a huge gathering of unmated wolves at the neighboring pack and here you are playing babysitter again. Would you ever put the pack's interest first other than hers?"

"Fuck you, Shane! You will know an Alpha is stronger with his Luna. Saoirse is my mate. Well, she will one day be and you will do well not to forget. I'm trying to spend as much time with her since we will be leaving the pack for two freaking years. I'm not interested in that gathering you mentioned. I already know she is meant to be mine. If you want to go I won't be accompanying you."

"You're so stubborn, Renzo. You are obsessed with her and that doesn't mean she will be your fated. I get it she is gorgeous and..."

I saw red at that moment, and next, I knew, I had Shane pinned to a tree by the neck, claws out and blazing eyes. My voice came out in a snarl.

"You dare comment on her looks? Do you make a habit of checking out what's mine?"

"What the fuck Renzo! I am not... That's not what I meant. But look at how you react with a simple comment. Even if she turns out to be your fate, the band hasn't snapped yet. Your wolves have not recognized each other as one, but you are already acting all possessive toward her. That, my friend, is obsession, not the mate bond."

I loosed my grip on his shirt and stepped away from him. Shane was my best friend, and as my future Beta,, he has been many times my voice of reason. I would always heed his advice, but never when it came to her. Saoirse was the reason my thoughts were always in turmoil, but she was also the only one who could pacify them. I needed her. Two years away from her will be torture. She was the air I breathed

"Oh, She is mine, fated or not. I know as much. As future Beta of this pack your job is to support your Alpha and go to any length to protect this pack. She is my sanity and my peace. Don't ever forget that in the future."

"I really hope she turns out to be your fated Renzo, for all of us sakes."

Shane fixed his shirt, and I grabbed him and left without turning back.

I felt her before seeing her and when I turned, she was already approaching. A smile formed on my face instantly. She had a white summer dress that was above the knee and short cowboy boots. Her glorious hair was flowing all around her it looked alive, on fire. With my wolf's speed, I was next to her in milliseconds. I grabbed her from the waste and spun her around. Her laughter was music to my ears. When I put her down she dragged her palms along my chest and abs ,and I almost whimpered. It was becoming hard not to grab her and kiss her breathless now that she looked all woman with all those soft curves. Those pink pouty lips were so kissable. This was one of the reasons mmygoing to Alpha training was perfect timing. A few more days with her and I'd ruin her. She will be sixteen when I come back. We will start dating then and when she turns 18, I will announce her as my Luna. I will mate and mark her then. Fated or not. I just hope her wolf is a strong one or the elders will have objections. Either way ,I wouldn't care,; sheis meant to be mine.

"I'm sorry I was not at school on time, little one."

She sighed, making her round and firm breasts rise and my dick twitch. She loved it when I called her that.

" Is fine. I know you get busy sometimes. You're almost leaving for Alpha training. I'm just glad you'll be here to meet my wolf before you leave."

She looked at me and her beautiful mismatched eyes were all teary. I grabbed her angelic face with both of my hands and kissed her forehead and the tip of her nose.

"Don't be sad, little one. We will be in contact through email all the time. You will start your training once you get your wolf to get stronger. Soon, you will be Luna of this pack too. Time will pass very fast."

I said that more to myself than her. My chest was tearing apart just thinking of being away from her for so long.

"You will make me Luna?"
