"Mate" I said
We continue to walk along the path twill we found the bench by the roses in the shade to sit down. We were holding hands, and did I feel the sparks, it wasn't as powerful as I thought it would have been.
"I'm Jordan" he said.
"I'm Nova" I said.
"I know, have known for two-months. I have been waiting for you to turn 18." He said.
"Really why?" I asked, he nodded.
"You had to be 18 and of age Nova." He said
"That make sense I suppose. I said.
"So, what do you like do you Nova?" He asked.
"Well, anything outdoors really, training, reading, dancing. Oh, I can sing too. So, what about you" I asked him
"Well, I like to go swimming, ride my motorcycle, and play video games. As well as read. What's your favorite color" he asked?
"Blue, yours Purple because of the flecks in your eyes" he said. She knew that was a lie because her eyes didn't have purple in them. Her eyes were Green with a reddish tint.
We talked for a little while longer and then my mother mind liked me.
M: Hey you need to get ready for your birthday party Nova
N: Yes, mom I will be right there
"I am so sorry Jordan I have to go, my mother mink-linked me, I have to get ready for the party. Will I see you in an hour at the party?" I asked him.
"Of course, mate" he said. He kissed my forehead, and we left our separate directions.
I got back to the pack house and found my mother. I walked up to her and gave her the biggest hug ever. She just looked at me all confused. Then she smiled at me. Then we walked into my bedroom to get ready for my party.
"So sweety what has you in a good moody now? I'm not complaining at all. Simply curious that's all." Mother asked.
"Well, when I left fathers office upset, I went for a walk in the gardens to clear my head and I smelled the best smell, and it led me to my mate. Its Future Beta Jordan." I told her.
"That's great, I hope he doesn't break your heard sweety." She speaks.
"Me too." I said.
"Mom, can I ask you something about mates?" I asked her.
"Of course, sweety, what is it that you want to know?" she asked.
"Aren't sparks you feel with your mate supposed to be strong and powerful?" I asked with a sad look on my face.
"Yes, sweety why?" She asked looking concerned.
"Well. when we touched hands, they were there but very weak. And he said my eyes were blue with purple flecks in them. I don't know maybe it's nothing." I said.
"Maybe sweety. Did you get enough sleep last night?" She asked me I looked at her and shook my head.
"Not really, only about 4 hours. I guess I could just be tired mom." I said and I sighed.
My mother did my hair, my make-up and I put on a simple dress for the party. Once I was ready to go. My mother left the room. I had to me to think to myself.
Jordan
I was so drunk last night that I ended up at Sadie's room again. She has been my on-off-again girlfriend for the past 2 ½-years. But I do love her. The problem is that I found out who my mate was two months ago. But she was still 17 years-old so she didn't know I was her mate. Well, that will change today because she turns 18 today. So, I have been wondering if she has been feeling anything pain the past few months. I asked Rex, but he hardly talks to me anymore. He wants Nova and her wolf. But he also wants Sadie and her wolf. I am so confused on what I am supposed to do.
I honestly thought that Sadie and I would have been mates with the connection that the two of us have. But we weren't. I was upset and sad. But she was devastated. She was crazy. She found her mate and rejected Theo on the spot. She says I am her chosen mate. Which I guess was on because Theo wasn't into girls. And his would want Damien's and his wolf Tyne. Damien's mate died in a rogue attach last year. So, he can take on a chosen mate or get a second change mate. They are second chance mates or something.
"Why can't we mark each other yet Jordy?" Sadie asks me.
"Sadie, you already know that answer. I must wait until my mate turns 18 for me to be able to reject her. You have known this." I told her.
"I don't care I rejected Theo for you dammit. I love you." She exclaimed.
"I love you to, and you rejected Theo because he was gay, not for me." I said. She growled.
"You heard what the moon goddess said Sadie." I said.
'Yes, you have to wait till she is 18 and what not." He growled it out
"I know your upset; but remember I love you and I will see you later." I kissed her on the forehead and left.
I went on my daily perimeter run of the pack lands. After that I went back to the pack house and up to my bedroom and got a shower and got cleaned up. When I got done, I came downstairs and walked into the pack kitchen. I made a turkey and cheese sandwich. I ate and then cleaned up my dishes. While I was in the kitchen Nova's scent of champagne and vanilla hit me. She had recently been in here. It had been being stronger more recently. That means she is closer to shifting. I walked out the back door and saw all the decoration being out up for a party. There was a sign that said Happy 18th Birthday Nova. Theo was walking past me toward the garage.
"Hey Theo, is today her birthday or is it at midnight?" I asked
"Yes, it is today, and she will shift tonight. Whomever her mate is, is going to be a lucky guy because she is a great girl." Theo exclaimed.
"Yeah, your right, Thanks man" I said.
"No problem, see you later, got to go get Damien" he said.
"Ya later" I said.
I just stood there after Theo walked away looking around. Then I decided to go for a walk, and I ended up in the pack gardens. I came in from the back entrance of the gardens. There are four paths. I came down the first fill path when I started to smell wills scent, I turn onto the third path and that's when I saw her. She looked even more beautiful than she has before. She was looking at me and I was looking at her. Just by looking at her I knew I was in trouble. Rex says your screwed I love her already, but I also love Sadie, the decision will be tough. Thanks a lot Rex. I begin walking toward her and she walks toward me we meet and reach out for one another, and our hand touch and you feel the sparks.
"Mate" I said.
"Mate" she said
We continue to walk along the path twill we found the bench by the roses in the shade to sit down. We were holding hands, and did I feel the sparks, it was not very powerful.
"I'm Jordan" I tell her.
"I'm Nova" she tells me
"I know, have known for two-months. Been waiting for you to turn 18." I tell her.
"Really why?" I asked, he nodded.
"You had to be 18 and of age Nova." He said
"That make sense I suppose." She said.
"So, what do you like do you Nova?" I asked
"Well, anything outdoors really, training, reading, dancing. Oh, I can sing too. So, what about you" she asked him
"Well, I like to go swimming, ride my motorcycle, and play video games. As well as read. What's your favorite color" I asked?
"Blue, yours Purple because of the flecks in your eyes" I said. She knew that was a lie because her eyes didn't have purple in them. Her eyes were Green with a reddish tint.
Nova seems spaced out for a minute. But she was being mined linked by her mother.
"Nova are you ok" I asked.
"Yes, my mother was mink-linking me." She said.
"Is everything ok?" I asked
"Yes, But I am so sorry Jordan I must go, my mother mink-linked me, I have to get ready for the party. Will I see you in an hour at the party?" I asked him.
"Of course, mate" he said. He kissed my forehead, and we left our separate directions.
As I am sitting here alone on this bench, I have this conflicted and confused feeling and I just don't know what to do. I asked myself what do I do? Do I break up with the love of my life Sadie? Or do I reject my mate, Nova? I decided to walk back to the pack house and join Nova's party. I realized that I have been sitting here for over an hour now. I get to the house and go and sit on the back deck of the pack house.
Charlie
"Hey Beta Charlie" Alpha Knox says to his Beta.
"Hey Alpha Knox, what going on? I asked him.
"Well, I should be asked you the same thing." He said.
"I don't know what you mean, I am confused on what you are talking about. Care to explain." I said.
"I am talking about your son Jordan. He is sitting over then on the deck like a lost puppy. I see something is bothering him." Knox said.
"Well, I haven't talked with him since this morning, and he seemed fine then. But I will talk with him. Thank you." I said to him.
"I am not telling you as your alpha that you should speak with him, nor as a parent, I'm suggesting as your friend" Knox mentioned. I nodded
"Thank you I appreciated it and all the stuff you do Knox."
"No problem go be with your boy and your welcome Charlie" he walked toward his wife, and I headed towards my conflicted looking son.
I walked up to the deck and sat down next to my son. I put my arm around Jordan, and he didn't even notice that I was there. There definitely was something bothering him. I squeezed his shoulder. He finally looked at me and he looked strained.
"Jordan are you all, right? You look troubled son."
"Dad I am so confused; I love Sadie with all my heart. But I love my mate to. I had planned on rejecting whoever it was before. But I have known who my mate was for 2-months dad. I have been thinking about for the last couple of months since I found out if I can even do it. But I don't know if I can do it. But I can't hurt Sadie either." Jordan said, then he put his head in his hands and shook them side to side.
"Wait, are you finally admitting that Alpha Knox's daughter Nova is your mate and that you are in love with your on and off again girlfriend Sadie?"
"Yes, dad that is what I am saying and that I don't know what to do. I am scared, conflicted, and confused all to hell. I don't want to hurt either one of them." He said.
"Son, it is a no brainer. Be with your mate. That is why the goddess paired you two together." I said.
"But what about my heart dad. I love them both." He said with tears in his eyes.
"Well, Jordy no matter what decision you make one of them is going to get hurt. Whether is Sadie or Nova. But just remember you and Nova have already had your first shift. It would be easier for her to have her mate with her. It is also harder on a wolf with alpha blood when they shift." I told him
"Jordan, I know that you are scared. But imagine how Nova feels. She knows your mates now, and if you are still seeing and doing things with Sadie, she can feel it. If you don't want her then you need to say something. But wait till after her shift or she could lose her wolf. You wouldn't want to hurt her, now, would you?" I asked my son. He looked at me and shook his head.
"Just promise me not to make a decision till after Nova's shift, especially if it will affect her negatively." I said
"I promise dad. I can't hurt her. No dad, I don't want to hurt her. I don't want to hurt either one of them. Thank you, dad, for talking with me." Jordan told him dad.
"Anytime son. I love you." I said.
"I love you to dad." He said before he got up and walked away towards Nova's direction.
I walked over towards the alpha, and I nodded at him. He followed me over by the house.
"Charlie what is it?" Knox asked.
"He has known who his mate is Knox and still continued to sleep with Sadie. I am worried Nova is going to get hurt. He promised that he wouldn't do anything till after she shifts tonight." Charlie said
"Ok, thank you for letting me know." I said
"I am sorry my son only thinks with his dick and not his brain." I said and walked away ashamed before Knox could respond.
Jordan
I walked up to the party, and I didn't know what I was originally going to do before. But right now, I knew I was going to accept my mate. I knew that I had to, it was the right things to do. I was going to break up with Sadie tonight and spend the rest of my life with my beautiful mate. No one was going to stop me.
I walked up to Nova and tapped her on her shoulder, and she turned around. She just looked at me and smiled. I gave her a hug and I smelled her intoxicating sent which drove me wild.
"Nova, would you like to dance with me?" She had the biggest smile on her face. I knew I was doomed.
"Of course, Jordan." She said.
We dance for what seemed like for hours. It had been through seven songs at least. I didn't want to let her go just yet.
"Jordan I am scared about my shift tonight. I don't know what to expect. I've been told that it is really painful and that with being an Alpha's daughter it is going to hurt worse. I don't like pain very much. I just don't know if I can- "she said, but I interrupted her.
"Nova it will be okay, I will be there right by your side the entire time. I will help you through it."
"Really, you promise" She asked me.
"Yes sweets, I will be there. But I need to speak with my dad first about something. I will see you in a little bit for your shift." I kissed her on her forehead."
"Okay Jordan" she told me. I nodded and walked away.
I left the party and went up to my bedroom. I realized that Nova is weak. She mentions that she doesn't like pain, so that means she can't handle pain. I need a strong Female Beta like Sadie. Nova would be weak. I had been sitting on my bed when there was a knock on my door.
"Come in." It was Sadie, she had been crying, my heart broke.
"What's wrong Sadie?" I asked.
"If you are going to be with your mate, tell me now before things get worse?" She told me. I walked over to her and smiled.
"I choose you Sadie Gold as my chosen mate." I kissed Sadie.
"I need to show you something." She tells me and hands me a box. I open it and look at it.
"Are you for real?" She nods. "I am going to be a dad. Wow that is great, I am so happy Sadie."
I knelt down and kissed her belly. I swear I felt the babies. Is the possible? I wondered. One thing led to another, and we were kissing. I was removing her clothes as she was removing mine. She loved at me with love in her eyes. We have loved each other for so long. That starting a family was perfect for us. I slid inside her entrance and as she moaned my name over and over again. I did that each time I did I slammed a little bit harder back it. Once reach her climax she was on cloud nine. My wolf took over as I was kissing her neck and my canines extended and I bit down and marked her. I licked the blood to complete the bond. Sadie moaned with pure ecstasy of pleasure as I did it. The she shocked me when she began to kiss my neck and bit down with her canines and licked the blood to complete the bond. We have marked each other.
We fell asleep after everything happened between us. After we woke up, we got a shower and got cleaned up and we headed downstairs. As, there was something that I had to do. I knew that Nova would have felt what I did with Sadie, and I had to reject her and explain. I just hope that she wasn't into much pain, or did she not feel it at all? I don't know why I even care about Nova and if she was in any pain or not. She isn't my problem or concern anymore. Sadie is my chosen mate.
