It wasn't as if I was up tight, but could you imagine, taking a high tittle at the age of 17, and beta no less. Every man in the pack wanted my head. I mean seriously what was wrong with my father, I was still a child for Goddess sake, what was his thinking, or Alpha Harts thinking?
I had to grow up fast, I couldn't party like the rest of my friends, or go out drinking. I had a job to do, protect my Alpha, his family, and the pack. Be his right hand man, and make decisions that would mean life or death. Seriously who does that at 17, who makes life changing decisions at that age?
Thank Goddess it wasn't right away, Alpha Heart would ask me for my opinion at first, then he started giving me more tasks little by little. He taught me the ropes and everything else I needed to know the first 2 years. But as the time went by I learned on my own. My position as beta was challenged multiple times before, at least once a week someone tried to take me down, make me summit for my spot, and every time I held my own. It seems as if my wolf knew this tittle was his and he wouldn't let anyone else take it.
'That's right the title is ours and ours alone.' His voice was fait but I knew my wolf was speaking. I gave him a mental nod in agreement. He was like me, level headed, didn't speak much. 'I want out Lorenzo.'
"You know you can't come out yet." I rubbed my head sitting up in bed. Looking at the bedside take I noticed it was 6 in the morning. Groaning I sat at the edge looking down at my hands, before getting up to stretch.
'I want out Lorenzo, you cant keep me locked up forever.'
"I'm not, but for now you need to wait, you can't come out yet."
'Why?' His voice was demanding and it made me a lil uneasy. When my wolf is upset my control on him isn't as secure as I wish it would be. Compared to most people in the pack my wolf is much, much more larger then theirs. My wolf was almost as large as Alpha Harts but not completely there yet. I walked to the dresser and shifted threw my drawers looking for something to wear.
"You know why." My voice was stern as I tried to build a mental cage around him to keep in lock up as tight as possible. I found some sweats and put them on, along with a muscle shirt. Eventually these cloths would shred to ribbons in a shift, and I didn't want to wear good cloths and ruin them.
'You make it seem as if you don't want her. Are you rejecting her?'
His words made me freeze, as it took me a moment to think about what he said. "You know I would never do such a thing!" I shot back, growling to myself, and in return he laughed a deep throat laugh. "Shut up!" I threw up a mental wall between us, ignoring him now. He might be my inner wolf, but he knew hw to rile me up. Asshole.
He did have a point though. I wanted her so bad, we couldn't have her when I first turned 17 she was still too young and wouldn't understand. Plus I didn't want to scare her, or put her in danger. People were always gunning for my position, and I didn't want them to use her against me at the time. So for 3 years I've waited for her to turn 17 and hopefully we could make up for lost time.
Ella was my mate, the sound of her name as I spoke it softly in my mind made my whole body shiver.
I laid back down on my bed, and covered my face with my arms and groaned. What was I doing? I needed my mate and she needed me. But she didn't even know I was hers and she was mine. But after today she would know, but not right away because I wouldn't see her till tomorrow after her birthday. I sighed fisting my hands and pressed them into my eyes, groaning.
Thoughts of last night filled my head and I smiled. After the Alpha introduced Tanya to the pack at her coming of age ceremony I took a quick lap around our pack lands, making sure my men were all doing their duties. When I had gotten back a few ladies of the pack wanted me to dance with them but I couldn't. Even if Ella didn't know I was her mate, I was still faithful to her. It was hard turning them down as they threw themselves at me literally, but I managed to get away. I had been standing at the edge of the dance floor just along the tree line when I finally spotted her. Ella had been dancing with a child. He had just turned 16 and started his introduction into pack patrol, his main goal to achieve the rank of a senior officer, he probably could if he tried. Durk was a good kid who was quick on his paws, and fast at thinking, but his temper always got the best of him. It was natural because he was still young eventually he would learn restraint. But seeing him hang all over Ella made my body heat with rage, the fact that she was grinding against him made it even worse for me. but that was my fault she didn't know we were mates. But Goddess was she beautiful last night.
The way she smelt last night made my mouth water. She smelt like Strawberries and lavender, my mouth started to water at the thought. And the way her body fit perfectly to mine, while we danced gave me such a boner. She was so perfect, and so small, my body practically wrapped around her like a blanket.
I turned over laying on my stomach, shoved my face in my pillow, and groaned. She was a turn on last night...the way she danced against me, pressing herself into me, grinding herself on me last night.
'Stop your killing your self, and me.' His voice was flat as he stirred, restless.
"I'm sorry" I commented back. The last thought I remember having was the way she smelt and how cute she looked when I took her back to her room to sleep. Like a little pup she curled up into her bed pillow mumbling to herself.
I quickly got up from my bed slipping on my shoes and walked to the bathroom to get ready. Work was piled up, and I need to get started, Training the new recruits, overseeing supplies not to mention I had a meeting with the Alpha and my senior patrol men. I sighed rinsing my mouth out of tooth paste and drying my face with a towel.
I have lived by myself since the beginning of the year, once I turned 20 I moved out of the main pack house and into a smaller home, well somewhat smaller. It was a 4 bedroom with 3 baths. It was in the middle of our territory next to lake, so my morning view was spectacular. When I originally picked this place I had Ella in mind, I knew she would love it just as much as I did, at least I hoped. It was a single story home, with a large fenced in yard. I hadn't touched it much, hoping that when I brought Ella here she would want to fix the house herself.
Quickly I ran out the house to meet the Alpha at his home, our meeting would start soon, if I was late I would feel bad for holding everyone else up. Our time was precious, something new happened everyday, not to mention keeping up with 200+ pack members on top of that. But today was Ella's birthday, and everyone was on alert. Alpha Hart didn't want anything to happen to his daughter today, and I second that. Protection around the pack would be tight and I was personally over seeing it.
I had ran for 20 minutes before I can to the stop of the Alphas house, looking further down the path I could make out the main pack house where I knew Ella was probably just starting to get up. If only I could go see her, show her that I was her mate, but it would have to wait, if not later tonight then tomorrow. Sighing I knocked on the front door and waited for our packs Luna to open up.
