Nick's POV
"AJAJAJAJAJAJAJA" I hear my stupid beta laughing behind me.
"Dylan, shut the fuck up" I say annoyed. I can't believe she closed the door… she closed the door in my face!
She's mine! She belongs in my arms, not inside this empty house living with a useless weak human!
I take a deep breath, let's calm down. She saw me fighting yesterday, I should be grateful she didn't have a mental breakdown. It's more important that I find out what the hell happened with the rogues, they could still be around.
"Dylan" I say out loud and Dylan nods "We'll be taking her to the packhouse today! If we have rogues around, I'm not leaving her here. We need to keep my mate safe".
"Son, you're not talking about kidnapping her… are you?" my father says worried.
"I can't have warriors station so far from my territory. It'll be safer to take her there! She'll be safer at the packhouse" I explain. I know she'll be angry but once she realizes it's for her own good everything will work out.
We're mates, we belong together. I know she will see things my way after a couple of days. I hear my father sigh, but I don't care. She's not safe here and I'm not taking any chances.
Dylan drives us to the packhouse where two of my trackers are already waiting for me, I recognize them, they're the ones I asked to follow the rogues that have been invading my territory.
Rogue attacks have been increasing the last couple of months, based on previous patrons, I think the culprit is the stupid power-hungry Alpha of the Red River pack.
"Alpha, Beta, Sir" one of the trackers, Trevor, says while bowing. I nod and signal him to continue talking. I want to get a report as soon as possible so that I can get everything ready for my beautiful mate.
"Sir, we followed the other 3 rogues that attacked our territory. We ended up arriving in a rogue pack… number of about 50 wolves, all of them seem like trained warriors. We also spotted the Gamma of the Red River pack" Trevor says and I feel my blood burning.
That stupid pack is attacking my territory and putting my mate in danger. I want them dead.
"Thank you, Trevor, take a couple of days off from training and rest, you guys deserve it" I instruct "Dylan, I'm going to change, these stupid shorts are way too small. Go to my office in 30 to discuss the preparations for my mate" Dylan nods after I end up talking.
I fast-walk towards my room, desperate to get rid of these shorts. I open the door of my room, as the Alpha my room is on the tallest floor of the building. I know my mate will like it here, my room has plenty of space. I can't wait to have her in my bed and smell her scent on my sheets… have her moaning below me while she screams my name.
I lick my lips at the image picturing inside my mind. My mate seems feisty, but I know I can submit her to me. She will learn to listen to me, to respect me.
"Mate is perfect that way! She belongs to us the way she is! The goddess gave her to us for a reason!" Apollo shouts inside my head. I shut him down completely
I get inside and I groan at the view in front of me, a woman wearing my robe and lying in my bed. "Emma, get the fuck out of my room, this floor is off-limits, you know that" I say annoyed. After the party, I told everyone about my mate. I think Emma has a hard time understanding I'm not available anymore.
"Oh! C'mon" she says seductively "We both know she will not be enough for you, your little mate is human, and judging by the way she acted at the party, she doesn't look like that much fun either. She's not going to be able to satisfy you. Please, Nick, she doesn't need to know" she smiles at me and I just feel disgusted looking at her.
"Get.out." I say threateningly. I refuse to accept such disrespect towards the Luna of this pack. I growl at her and keep my cold gaze. She pales and that makes me smile, if only my mate was this obedient. Emma gets up from my bed and walks out of the room.
I take a shower and change, the injuries from yesterday were minor and are already healed, I could've dealt with those weak rogues if it wasn't for those… nightmares. I shake my head; I don't want to remember that. It was just a dream; it doesn't deserve any more of my time.
I walk out of my room towards my office, where I know Dylan is already waiting for me. I open my office door and what I see surprises me.
Not only Dylan is there, but Lucas and Jos are also here. "what are they doing here?" I ask Dylan.
"Well, we're bringing your mate here tonight, right?" He asks and I nod "Well, Jos here is her friend so I thought it was a good idea to get tips from her"
"That explains Jos, what about Lucas?" I inquire.
"Jos is his mate, he just found out this morning when he woke up" Dylan explains but I fail to see the connection as to why he's here "He didn't want to leave her alone" he continues after he notices my confusion.
I nod, when I met my little mate, I didn't want to leave her side either. Even now I only want to hold her close to my chest.
"The plan is simple Dylan, we get inside the house and take her, simple, no need to ask for any extra information, I just need to decide which warriors are coming with us. Going alone is not a good idea with all these rogues around" I explain.
"No!" Jos shouts but freezes once I direct my glare at her. Lucas moves her behind him and I growl.
"Why not? And you better have a good reason, pup" I say angry. Does this girl think she has any saying in this? We're talking about my mate! I decide what we do and what we don't do.
"S-she… she lives with her dad… what if you go inside the wrong room?" she says weakly "I-isn't it b-better i-if we tell him what we are first?" she continues.
"I will not get the room wrong, her scent is too strong and she already knows, she saw me yesterday" I explain annoyed. I don't know why I'm losing my time with this girl.
"O-oh" she says sadly. Does this bitch think I'm going to harm my mate? "Get them out of here Dylan, they made us lose too much time already".
Dylan rolls his eyes and I growl at him "sorry guys, go back downstairs" They nod and go out of the office.
"Now" I direct my gaze towards Dylan "Who do we take? We just need two other warriors, we need fast but decently strong guys" I instruct.
"What about Richard and Daniel? They're both good for stealth missions and fairly strong" Dylan says confidently. He's right, those two are perfect for this.
"Alright, we leave in 2 hours. Get everything ready" He nods and walks out of the room, while I sit and start working on the mountain of paperwork I have here.
The time pass by painfully slow, I'm dying to have my mate here. Safe and close to me. I hear a knock on my door.
"Come on in" I instruct, and Dylan opens the door.
"Everything's ready, the guys are in the van waiting for you"
I get up and we walk all the way to the car. I jump in the passenger seat and Dylan starts driving. The sun is setting and slowly fades to give place to the moon.
We open the door thanks to Richard, he's good at lockpicking. Dylan and I quietly start walking upstairs, following the scent of chamomile my mate has. A calming soothing smell, so fitting for her.
We finally reach her door and we open it, thankfully it's not locked. With each second it passes I grow more impatient, I want her, I need her near me right now.
We walk inside the room and she's there, peacefully sleeping. I move the covers from her sleeping body and what I see makes me smile. She's using a dinosaur onesie. A fucking dinosaur onesie. I normally would find it childish but on her, it looks perfect.
We walk closer to her and she sits up abruptly looking at us in disbelief. I look at Dylan and he's as surprised as me. We were quiet, it's not the first time we sneak on someone, and this is the first time we get caught red-handed. How the hell did she do it.
"No" she says firmly while keeping eye contact with me "Don't do anything stupid and you will get out of here in one piece" she says in a monotonic voice.
