Sitting at a table with Kyle, Steve, Suzie, and Grayson I cannot stop myself from staring at Alpha Zac as he addresses the pack. I thought Grayson was delicious-looking, but fuck he was just a snack compared to Alpha Zac.
He is built like a sex god. He was at least a foot taller than me, with chocolate brown hair that was perfectly tousled. Longer on the top, short on the sides. Piercing blue eyes, the same color as the rivers around us. A slight bit of scruff was neatly outlined on his sharp jawline. I could see every budging muscle under his dress shirt. Corded forearms were showing as his sleeves were rolled back.
He wasn’t an Alpha that stayed inside behind a desk, no, his skin glowed with a tan that had to be earned from working in the sun. I’d like to climb him like a tree.
I shake the thought from my head.
Who am I kidding?
Like he would ever be interested in me. I attract weirdos like Kyson… and Kyle apparently because he is sitting across from me waggling his eyebrows.
Gross.
Alpha wouldn’t want a little orphan warrior for a mate. Don’t get me wrong, I know I am a good fighter. I may be small but I’m fast and pretty scrappy. He was sizing me up earlier, probably thinking he made a mistake taking me on as a warrior. I hoped the confidence I put forward hid my fear. Dad always said my size was my weakness and I couldn’t show fear or I’d never make it as a warrior.
He was a good warrior, but a shit dad.
The sounds of clapping around me bring me back to the main hall, looking up I see Alpha Zac motioning for me as he holds a silver dagger.
Shit, my turn already.
I smile and make my way to the podium he is standing at. “Isa will be joining the ranks as a warrior. We are excited to add her to the patrols and at training, teaching her our styles and learning moves she can offer.” “I, Alpha Zac of the Clear Creek pack, hear by joining you, Isla Miller, by blood oath”. He slices his palm, blood drips down into a goblet. He hands me the knife,
“I, Isla Miller, formerly of Cedar Falls, pledge my allegiance and loyalty to Alpha Zac and the Clear Creek Pack”. I slice my palm the same, our blood swirling in the cup before I send it back like a shot. I feel the tether of the pack snap into place. The pack claps, and I make my way back to my seat smiling out at all these folks.
I hope they don't see me as secondhand pack trash, I don’t want to let them down.
Dinner is being served, and Suzi is fangirling about the meal. She’s sweet, maybe she could be a friend. I didn’t bother making friends at Cedar Falls or TRTC. Grandma June was my best friend. She reminded me of my mom. I was so glad I got to go there after my dad's treatment of me came to light. Being here at Clear Creek might not be so bad after all. As Mr. Andrews said, it was a good opportunity. A new start, no one knew my past to take pity on me, I was just a warrior here.
After eating and talking with some of the other members of the patrol, I let myself be excited. Everyone seems nice here. This will be good.
I excuse myself and start to head back to my room. Someone grabs my arm, yanking me towards the wall. Kyle is looking down at me waggling his eyebrows again. His gelled jet black hair locked into place, the same way his dark eyes lock on to me.
“What ya say, you show me that warrior dorm of yours.”
“You wish” I snorted.
Like hell, I’d sleep with him, even if I wasn't a virgin. Pushing his arm away I start to walk away. He’s back in front of me.
“Oh, I don’t need to wish, I could smell your arousal at dinner, no need for you to be alone like that tonight. I can take care of you well”.
I think I might vomit. I make a quick dart for the first door I see and duck in.
I had just sat down on the couch in my office with a whiskey in my hand when a light knock came at the door. “Come In,” I said. Fiona walked into a file folder in her hand. “Alpha” she purred, tossing the folder down and making her way toward me. She wasted no time dropping straight to her knees in front of me. I could smell her arousal as my jeans started to get tight. She ran her hands up my thighs, reaching my waistband. She licked her lips and fluttered her eyelashes as her hands started undoing my belt and jeans. Slowly she freed my hardening cock, her eyes filled with lust. I tipped back my glass, finishing my whiskey in one gulp, and setting the glass down. I ran my hand through my hair right as she swirled her soft tongue around my shaft. Fuck that felt good. I lean back, relaxing on the sofa. Fiona takes her time easing her mouth over my cock while her hand starts to pump. Finding a rhythm, she starts bobbing her head, twisting and pumping her hands over my full erection.
I don’t even remember falling asleep when I am jolted awake by the blaring of my alarm clock. Today is my first day of training and after that encounter last night, I better be on my best behavior. I can’t believe my nerve of Kyle. Who does he think he is, trying to answer for me and at that making it seem like we were involved? He was the last guy I’d want in my room. Turning the knob of the hot water in the shower on, I strip down. I catch a glimpse of the light pink raised keloid scars on my back in the mirror. Trouble is the last thing I want to be in today. Reaching in and testing the water, it's perfect. I step in, letting my body relax as the warm water wraps me up and I close my eyes. My mind starts to wander back to what I saw last night…Alpha Zac’s huge appendage was out on full display. I didn’t realize he had a girlfriend, couldn't be his mate, they weren't marked. His rock-hard cock consumes my mind as my hand trails down to my wet slit. I didn’t get to look long but
“Isla, come in, close the door and take a seat,” I say motioning to the leather chairs across my desk from me. I take a minute to appreciate this gorgeous auburn goddess in front of me. She is still in her workout clothes from training. Her perfect tits are spilling out the top of this black sports bra and the way those leggings hug her juicy ass has me sporting a semi. She sure as hell showed why she is here as a warrior, all my doubts surrounding her size are well gone. I must be staring well too long because she speaks first. “Al-Alpha, I apologize for the uh, interruption last night, it was a misunderstanding and won't happen again” I can smell her fear, does she think she is going to get punished for this? “Well that is not the reason I called you in here, but it would be appreciated if you kept your socializing to your room and didn't enter my office without knocking “ Her cheeks flash pink, “Yes Alpha” she nods. Turning back to the paper on my desk, I clear my throat and s
The last few days have been a blur. I have spent so much time on calls with The Great Council getting as up-to-speed on Isla’s dad as I could be. My wolf and I were still so angry at the thought of Isla being beaten almost to death. Who does that to a child, their child, a child with no wolf to heal her? It does answer the question of her scarring. I get chills thinking of all those scars. Each scar was an everlasting reminder of a beating she took, the pain she had to bare. Did it go on for years? Did Alpha Damon know? Surely he didn’t. What kind of sick fuck would let that go on in their pack? I have not yet had to hand down any severe punishments in my pack but I know that for certain I wouldn’t have stood by and let that happen. I have Grayson reviewing all patrol schedules to ensure there are no week spots in the coming future. Alpha Garret said he would let us know the day of transport, but due to security measures he couldn’t give more advance notice. We were going t
Audrie and I continue to meet downtown at a quaint little coffee shop before our patrol shits. Luckily she is an even bigger caffeine addict than I am. It’s during these times when she has been spilling all the pack tea - it’s nice, even if it is gossip it makes me feel so much more connected here. I tried not to be so obvious about my interest in Beta Grayson or Alpha Zac, but Audrie saw right through me. Busted. Alpha Zac and Fiona are not mates, nor are they even dating. I guess he is a “nice” guy but tends to be a playboy. Shit, with the way he looks and the energy he oozes, I’m not surprised, hell he has been the starring role in my recent shower releases. Grayson is close to the same but much more discrete. However, Audrie has experience with Grayson. She tells me about a hot and steamy hook-up they had outside of this Club on the outskirts of Clear Creek. Audrie also tells me all about her and her family. They have been part of this pack for a few generations, her pare
“HAPPPY BIRTHDAAAAY” they yell out as we clink our shot glasses together. I throw back the tequila and feel it burn all the way down to my stomach. This has to be my sixth? Seventh? shot..I’ve lost track, but the buzz I’m riding is supreme. Audrie makes her way back to the dance floor with Connor and Liz. Paul and Anna go back to the shameless flirting they have been doing all night. “So how’s it feel birthday girl?” Tate says turning to rest his back on the bar. “Well right now I feel great!!” I giggle. “Haha, I think that might be the tequila talking,” He says. “Nah, I’m good, I feel free.This is the first birthday since my Grandma died I’ve even celebrated” I respond. I see a tinge of sadness dance across his eyes. I hate that, I hate pity. “Isla, I’m sor..” he started. “Nope, nope, nope! We are having fun and that sentence doesn’t sound fun” I interrupt him. “ I am going to grab some air, that tequila has got me sweating!” I say and I head toward the door. Steppi
I’m going crazy here. Ever since this little firecracker walked into training, I knew I needed to get to know her. I haven’t found my mate yet, and it's Isla's birthday and I know that I’m not her mate either. I had to take a shot, see if she felt anything towards me. I’d like a mate, and if she’d have me for a chosen one, I’d sure take her. She is so fierce, and it's fucking attractive as hell. I know there's a storm brewing behind those eyes, but she always seems happy. When she didn’t come back in for a while, my wolf wouldn’t let me not check on her. Yeah, she's a warrior too, but it's my nature to want to protect her. I see her looking angelic, her creamy skin glowing under the moonlight. I approach quietly not to catch her off guard. “Are you okay? You’ve been out here a while?” I ask. “I’m good” she replied, her eyes not leaving mine. She’s always good, she wouldn’t let you know if she wasn’t, this girl is guarded. I want to get closer to her though. I can scent her arous
That. Just. Happened. Tate is tracing soft circles on my back as we both calm our racing hearts. I never thought I’d lose my virginity on a patio chair outside of a club, but I also thought I’d wait for my mate. I’m not mad at it though. This was so blissful, Tate was so gentle, it was sweet. I take in a deep breath and push myself up stealing another peck on his soft lips. I go to stand, my legs mush beneath me but Tate’s strong arms find my waist steadying me. The stormy waves in his eyes ushered a calm to wash over me. There is a fondness in his eyes, no one has looked at me like this before. I don’t know what will happen between us, but it has been a birthday I will never forget. “So uh, ready to head back in?” Tate says as he runs a hand through his hair. “Mhmmmm” “Why don’t you head in first and I’ll catch up?” I respond. “You embarrassed to be seen with me now smalls?” he says as a smile dances across his face. Giving him a playful shove, I say, “ I’m not trying to be t
