Chapter Four-Sloan POV

“Mate!” yells Oaklen inside my head as I watch my sister crouching in wolf form to attack the girl. She is not what I expected. Curvy and tall with long black curls falling down her back. I see her lock onto me as the wind blows in her direction, knowing she sensed it too. Odd, I had never really noticed her in our pack before, but I could sense why. She had Omega blood. I grimace at the laughing stock I will be for this. And to think, I really though last nights dream had been a reality. Nobody would take me seriously as the Alpha of Alphas with an omega mate. The moon goddess really got this match wrong I huff to myself. Oaklen growls at me “Do not insult our mate. She is a fair match against your sister. Perhaps even stronger. Her blood may be omega but her heart is pure Alpha!” I shake my head at his nonsense. But watching the scene in front of me, he did have a point. The girl jumped up and shifted into a pure black wolf. Twisting she took my sister to her back and held her. She had one. Amusement sparkles in my eyes as I watch. She had fight, I will give her that. As the crowd around us erupts, my father speaks clearly and warmly through the microphone. Welcoming her to his warriors. Then he looks concerned as her wolf form races directly for me, seeming to have stolen full control of her. He rushes forward in a panic just as I get licked across the face by this new wolf. But I shove her off in fear. Fear of my fathers rejection that I mated to an omega. Fear that the pack could never take my bloodline serious with her at my side. Oaklen slammed against my brain trying to force the shift. Wanting to show her affection back. Knowing this girl was ours. And we were hers. But I locked him down and refused.

She looked up at me and I could see the hurt even on her wolfs face. Turning with her tail between her legs, she runs for the tent that usually only underage wolves bother with. Her mother glances at my curiously before following her daughter inside.

My father growls at me. Something about what happened. But I am stunned. Stunned at her actions as well as my own. Feeling my shoulder shake I look into my fathers eyes. They are filled with tears, and I shift and take off into the woods. I was right, my mate had disappointed him. He was angry and sad. He would no longer hand the pack over to me unless I rejected her. I can feel him trying to force the mind link, but I am stronger and I shut him out. I cant be here right now. I cannot listen to his lecture. And I damn sure couldn’t reject her. Omega blood or not, the world suddenly felt right when I saw her. She would be mine. I just had to figure out how to get my father to agree to it.
