"Alpha Zachary, I'm Alpha Winston of the Crescent Moon Pack and this is my daughter Elizabeth." He introduced himself, I put out my hand for a friendly shake. After all this is the main purpose of the whole event, for me to meet all the other Alphas before I take over the pack.
" Nice to meet you Alpha Winston"
I murmured, then nodded to his daughter "Elizabeth"
" I was hoping you would have a drink with us at our table, you see I have some property in Arizona that might interest you it's rich in copper. Perfect for expanding your mining business to the lower forty-eight." Alpha Winston made his pitch while his daughter eyed my ass like a piece of meat.
" Sure" I agreed ,after all I have been looking to expand my mining business. I nodded towards the bar keeping everything professional "Just let me grab a drink and we'll be right over."
Grabbing Andie's hand again we made it to the bar without any further interruptions. I got myself a double shot of bourbon on the rocks and Andie a coke. We made our way back through the crowd to Alpha Winston's table and took a seat.
The old man smiled at me and started talking right away " I was hoping this could be a merger ,an alliance if you will. You see my daughter "
"I'm not interested in a merger Alpha Winston." I stopped the old man in his tracks before he could spout out the rest of his bullshit.I've heard this shit every since I was sixteen years old some old fuck trying to set me up with his daughter.
However for some reason my words didn't register in the old man's head. He held his hand up palm open " Just hear me out" He beseeched
I nodded for him to continue " You see I believe my daughter would be a great asset to your pack." His old ass was tactful I'll give him that.
I glanced over at his daughter for a second, she licked her red painted lips all seductive and shit. I brought my hand up rubbing my chin eyeing him suspiciously " And how so Alpha Winston?"
The old fucker grinned at my ass. "You see my daughter would make the perfect Luna for a big pack such as yours."
I stared at his old ass for a second like I didn't understand what he just said then nodded " Oh, I see" I pause for a second nodding my head a little "so Alpha Winston, I assume you got here late is the reason you would suggest such a thing?" I ask his dumb ass even though I knew his ass has been here all day. I had seen him up in billiards room talking to my dad.
He stared at me so I continued " I'm just assuming here, because if you have been here the whole evening you would already know I found my soulmate tonight." I raised Andie's tiny hand that I had been holding, above the table so that his dumb ass could see it . " Let me introduce you to my future Luna. Miss Miranda Hunt, now if that's all you have to offer me I will have to decline." I stood my ass up with my girl, nodded to his old ass and his daughter. " Have a nice evening Alpha Winston, Miss Elizabeth." I murmured politely and walked my ass away with my girl.
I felt my girls joy through the bond and frankly it stunned me a bit. I looked down at her little grinning face and smiled back at her " That didn't upset you?" I ask curious to know if the bond had any affect on her at all.
She thought about it a second before answering me , I guess to assess her feelings. " I'm not really sure, I guess It might have ,if I wasn't so taken off guard by what the old geezer said." She giggled
"Hey you know that was like another comparison." I murmured, her little ass grinned mischievously at me making me wonder what was running through that pretty little head of her's.
" What" I had to ask, that mischievous grin she had on her face didn't set well with me at the moment. Her little ass better not be thinking about trying to make me jealous. I know she's only fourteen but she's my soulmate her little ass belongs to me.
" I was just thinking" her little ass raised her head and looked around the room a second . Then started pulling me across the room " come on I want to try something."
I followed her ass all the way across the room until we were standing in front of two she wolves. I recognized both of them, the redhead and the blonde that was at her family's table.
" Zack, this is my sister Abby and this is Hanna our friend. Her dad is our dad's gamma."She introduced me to the two she wolves.
I shook both their hands introducing myself " Zack, nice to meet you" I hum, both she wolves looked me up and down with big smiles plastered on their face.
" Nice to meet you Zack, I'm sure we'll get along just fine." The redhead purred seductively " Oh by the way Andie dad said I could be your chaperone." She said that shit to my girl as she eyed my ass with a come fuck me smile.
I ignored her sluty ass pulling my girl closer so I could concentrate on the her emotions. I was getting something from the bond but couldn't exactly tell what it was. Then the redhead started yapping again.
" Zack how do you feel about finding out your soulmate is so young? You know our Andie knows nothing about men she's never even kissed a guy before." The bitch said that shit with a poked out pouty lip and I'm not really sure if she was trying to make me feel sorry for myself or just taking a jab at my girl.
My girl tensed up a bit, pulling her beautiful little face up to look into my eyes. I winked at her cute little ass and told her nosey ass sister how I really feel about that.
" Honestly, I think I'm the luckiest man in the world. I get to be my soulmates first date, I get her first kiss and all the rest of her first for the rest of our life. I believe that's something worth waiting for." Yep, I said that sappy shit my girl blushed and the smug smile fell off her sisters face but she kept on yapping.
" Andie,how do you feel about becoming someone's soulmate so young ? Does it bother you that you'll never date like a normal teenager?"
My girl didn't bat an eye she squeezed my hand looked her smart ass sister in the eye and made me proud.
" There's no reason I can't go on a date with Zack. Dad said I could date when I turned sixteen and now that I'm zack's soulmate by werewolf law I'm officially a member of the Starlight Pack.And as such, I'm a resident of the state of Alaska. I'm not sure if you actually know or not, but in the state of Alaska the legal age of consent is sixteen. So no, I really don't think I'll miss anything and I'll never have to worry about some horny guy trying to use me for just sex."
Fuck! my girls smart, Apollo wagged his tail and I grinned like a damn fool forgetting about her bitch sister and her friend. I ask the only thing that was on my mind at the moment. " When's your birthday baby girl?"
" I'll be fifteen in three months." She beamed up at me her blue eyes twinkling in the dim light of the chandelier. Fuck! She's beautiful.
Reluctantly I tear my eyes away from my baby girl's beautiful face and glance back up at the frowning redhead. I was still grinning like a fool but I didn't care in fifteen months I will be able take my girl on a date.
" I'm sure this is good news for you too in fifteen months you will be able to return to California and resume your normal life." Fuck, I'm getting good at this tactful bullshit.
But the bitch wasn't done her ass slithered over to my side and rubbed my fucking arm spouting out some more of her craziness.
" Oh, don't worry in fifteen months I will make sure Andie knows how to please an Alpha ." She cooed winking at my ass.
That was just too much my fucking tact flew out the damn window. I pulled my arm away from her sluty ass,pushed my baby girls head into my chest covering her ears. She didn't need to hear that shit and she didn't need to hear what I had to say either.
" You'll do no such thing, everything Andie needs to know I'll tell her when I feel like she's ready. I don't want her young mind filled with a bunch nasty ass fucking shit."
The bitch rolled her eyes at me throwing her hair over her shoulder and got all huffy with me " Suit yourself, I just thought I would help."
After getting all huffy and shit her ass turned around and left taking the blonde with her. I released my baby girl pushing her back a bit so that I could have a few words with her about her sister.
"Andie, I'm serious I don't want you to listen to anything your sister tries to tell you about sex. I don't know much about your relationship with her. But to be honest sweetheart I really don't think she has your best interest in mind. If you have any questions you can ask me, you're my other half you can ask me anything you want to know and I will do my very best to answer all your questions."
I took a deep breath and held my baby girl at arms length waiting for a response and again I was blown away by her intelligence .
" You're right my sister doesn't have my best interest in mind. She's selfish and right now she's seething in jealousy. I initially brought you over here to see if the bond has any effect on me. I knew my sister and Hanna would try to flirt with you. Then my sister sprung her little surprise on me about being my chaperone. Lucky for me an opportunity presented itself and you seen through her crap. So now you know she tries to get me in trouble. I just wish mom and dad could see that she's not the best person to watch over me ." She sucked in a deep breath and shrugged her tiny shoulders.
I could feel through the bond she was feeling powerless and dejected. I couldn't help pulling her into my arms for a big hug right there in the banquet hall. I held her tight while rubbing small circles on her back. I kissed the top of her head,and some fucks gave us dirty looks but I didn't give a fuck.
My baby girl was hurting and my heart was breaking. I just held her there in my arms and listened to her heart beat slowly go back into rhythm it didn't take that long. Which made think that maybe it had something to do with the mate bond.
I held there a few minutes longer then I pushed her little head back to look at her beautiful little face. " Hey ,I think we just done another experiment." I said that shit, and in my heart I was hoping it was true.
Her little ass blinked those long lashes at me.
" Really"
I placed my hands on the sides of her beautiful face and grinned like a fool."Yes, I'm not really sure but I believe that you actually feel calmer when I hold you close to me. And that my love, is part of the bond, but I believe we need to do some research."
"We can start on it Monday morning after we go on line and order you some more clothes. I'm sure you only brought a few changes with you and you'll need more to start to school."
