Xavier
I close the door behind me as I leave the room, my mate needs rest, and so do I. I go down the stairs slowly , as I start to think about her words, she wants to know me , she is actually starting to take interest in me, a smile creeps upon my face, but then it fades as I recall her story, those bastards from her original country… I wonder if they are a regular cartle, or if they could be something from our side. I have some investigation to do, but first I want to secure the bond with Rita, so I will have to hand this mission to someone else, or leave the whole subject aside for now.
I sit on the sofa in the main room, and put my feet up on the table, then I start to think about what I'm goint to tell Rita about myself, do I tell her about the labs? Zevrus? What about Rain? Will she accept me if she knew that I had feelings for Rain at one point? I shake my head,if I tell her that she will either hate me, or think that I'm not serious, ot both. I groun as I close my eyes and rub my face, this shit is way more complicated than I thought. How did Zevrus and Cedric manage to secure the bond with Rain? how did Zevrus convince her that she is his mate, let alone two of them.
I open my eyes, that's it! I need to go to Zevrus and consult with him, but then I pause, the last time I was at the Steel Pack's territory, I left a bad impression, Cedric did shake my hands and say that all was good, but his eyes said otherwise. Maybe, since Cyprus is now the alpha, just maybe, I could actually be able to go in and get a word with Zevrus, afterall, we were friends, and I have his blood in my veins. At the thought, a sudden image of big hazel eyes appears in my vision, Rain, I wonder if I should also check on her, I sigh and rub my face as I start to remember her, I close my eyes, but instead of long legs, I see short ones, instead of milky flesh, I see mocha brown, the curly hair is replaced with long wavy dark hair, the face, rounded with plump lips and round honey brown eyes, Rita.. my dick hardens at the thought of her, and that's when I understand, this woman is my mate, and no matter how much I liked Rain, she is no match for my Rita, my mate.
I try to settle in for the night, but the determination of securing the bond with Rita makes it hard to fall asleep. I place my feet on the floor and stand up, I'm going to see Zevrus.
After a long walk, I start to get closer to the Steel Pack's territory, I start to sense werewolves around me, so I stop , pull my shoulders back and speak in my alpha voice "This is Alpha Xavier of the Amara pack, I wanna see Zevrus" , some bushes to my right restle, and then pops a familiar werewolf- the one called Darious. he mind links with me , "why the fuck are you here?", I growl at him "I appreciate your loyalt to your new pack, but know your limits, I am the alpha of the Amara pack and you will respect me", he huffs "yeah whatever, follow me".
I walk after him to the main house, as we go nearer , I start to smell Zevrus, sure enough, before we reach the stairs, the door opens and out he walks, he titls his head to the side "Xavier?", I smile at him "how have you been my friend?", he smiles at me widley, as he goes down the stairs and gives me a quick hug with a pat on the back, "come, let's talk".
we settle inside, with me sitting on the sofa and him sitting on a chair across, his smile never leaving his face, "how's everything? heard the news about you becoming the alpha of the Amara pack, glad you killed that fucker Dracus and got his spot", I smile back and nod, then I look down at my crossed fingers, how the fuck do I start? Seeming to notice, Zevrus turns serious "what's wrong?", I clear my throat and sigh, "listen Zevrus, you've known me pretty well back when we were in the labs, and I want you to know that I look at you as a brother of mine", Zevrus' face turns grim at the memor, but he nods and ushers me to go on, I take a breath "since I broke from that hell, aloth has changed, I became an alpha, and now, I've found my mate", Zevrus' face brightened up "really? congrats brother! I'm happy for you", I give him a tight smile but then nod and continue "that's why I came here, I wanted to consult with you about something", Zevrus raised an eyebrow "ok.." , I sigh, "this is fucking embarassing", then I stand up and start pasing back and forth as I start telling him the story, his eyes follow me as he seems to be listening and thinking deeply at the same time.
After I finish telling him the story, I sit back down and stare at him "well? what do you think?", Zevrus rubs his chin, after a few seconds of silence he finally says "listen, you need to keep in mind that humans are way different than we are, they do not live by our habits, they don't eat our food, they don't know what a mate is- but since you explained it to her and she seemed to be accepting it, then you've already done the first step, the key here is to let it sink in, let her see how life is among the pack members, talk to them, walk around, maybe you should try to sit with her more often" he huffed a small laugh, "and start buying milk, chocolate and black coffee", I wrinkled my nose "milk? what for?" Zevrus raised his shoulders "well, humans seem to like to drink it" I nod, Zevrus opens his mouth again to speak, but then another voices cuts him "you both are pathetic" , I snap my head towards the sound , and there stands Cedric, cocky as ever, shirtless with sweatpants, and a side smile on his face. Zevrus looks at him with annoyance "this conversation does not include you", Cedric walks towards us and sits on another chair across," well, since I live here, and your gitly conversation interrupted my sleep, this does include me", Zevrus frowns "Rain?", Cedric gives me a side eye, and his smile grows bigger as he says "trust me, she passed out, too much activities for one night", Zevrus gives him a look, then turns his gaze back towards me "so Xavier, just think about what I told you, take it easy, let her adapt and let time do it's thing", Cedric huffs a laugh, "so, Xavier's found a mate", I want to unch him, but I'm not giving him the privilege, so I just lay back and put my ankle on my knee "yes, I have", Cedric nods, the he looks down "welp, I wonder what you would feel if I gave her a kiss", at his words I bolt on my feet and snarl at him "what the FUCK did you just say?" , he looks up at me slowly as he addresses Zevrus "ever had the chance to ask Rain about her stay at the Amara pack?" , Zevrus frowns "what are you talking about?", then he looks at me, "what is this bullshit?" , feeling defeated , I sigh and close my eyes,"this is a conversation for another time", I start to take a step towards the dooe, but Zevrus' voice stops me "Xavier", I look at him behind my shoulder, his smile long gone, and his face serious, then he says "I want to know, now."
