"Um..." I awkwardly looked down at myself, "Do you have clothes?"
"Of course," I followed him into the largest house in the small village. He called his mother who came down setting clothes out for me. She smiled, but her eyes held a mournful look. I felt bad for her, even though I was rejected, she lost the one she loved. She lost her actual mate, the one that accepted her. I couldn't help myself from pulling her into a hug, "I'm sorry to hear of your loss."She returned my embrace and sniffed, "thank you my dear," she pulled back, "now lets get you dressed." I blushed as i noticed i'd hugged her to my naked body.
Quickly changing in the bathroom Dylan showed me, I came downstairs to be greeted by three boys who I could tell were the wolves from before.They were now dressed too, including Dylan. They introduced themselves as Jace, Ash, and Ethan. They were all good looking, but that only lead me to think about Zach. Tears welled up in my eyes for the millionth time today as i sat in a chair. "Shit!" Dylan panicked, "What's wrong?" He came over to squat in front of me, worry taking over his features. Unfortunately the kind gesture only made me cry harder.
After a while I finally calmed down enough to stutter one sentence, "My mate. H-h-he re-rejected m-m-me." Dylan and the others looked at me sympathetically.
"I'm guessing that's why you've left your pack then? I knew you hadn't been a rogue long." He said the last part quietly, mostly to himself I think. "At least he's still there. Maybe he needs time. My mate, she was killed by another pack in the same attack that took my father. At least there's a chance for you." I felt horrible. His father and his mate? His life was much worse than mine and yet here i was crying in front of these stragers. "You can tell us what happened over some dinner how does that sound?" He asked smiling at me."But... but I'm a rogue you should just kick me off your land now" I said looking at the floor. I was shocked to feel a hand lift my chin up."No pack member deserves rejection, and I understand the need to get away. But being a rogue was not the path meant for you. I would like you to stay with my pack here, I'd feel guilty letting you fend for yourself when we have a strong pack that will happily accept you." He smiled down at me and I couldn't help the tears that fell."Thank you Alpha Dylan, that's so unbelievably kind of you, how will I ever repay you?" I sighed."No need, just be loyal and look after the others with me in the pack and that's repayment enough. Now let's get some food and chat... come on boys." He walked away to the kitchen and I followed, taking in the huge open plan kitchen/ dining room. White and grey everywhere. It was stunning to say the least!One of the boys groaned as Dyan made his way to the freezer and oulled out some kind of ready made meal box. I couldn't have that i thought with a smile.
Grinning like an idiot i piped up, "what did you feel like? I love cooking and my signature dish is lasagne if any of you want that?" I asked. I know how I can repay them now. I can cook for them and make sure they stay full and strong."Oh thank god! I thought we would have to have toasties or ready meals again with the cook still ill!" The boy who I think was called Jace laughed out! I laughed along too as I made my way around the kitchen, I only had to ask for locations of things every now and then. The boys all sat at the island and watched me with fascinated eyes.We joked about as i made the food and put it in the oven.
When it was ready we all dug in and they were all moaning and saying how much better it was then anything they had even when they did have the cook around."Well I love cooking and baking and I must say I've gotten rather good over the years so I'm happy to take requests!" I giggled as they all nodded their heads eagerly.I then began to tell the entire story of my life's events, including about my parents, my brother and eventually my mate.By the end, they all looked angry. "What the hell?" Jace furiously said."Wait. So even though he's your mate, he bullied you and made the entire school hate you?" I nodded in response to Ash's question."Total bullshit." Ethan added.Dylan put his arm around me as he stood up, he looked me straight in the eye and said, "Well ignore what I said earlier, he deserves the pain he will feel when he knows you've gone for good. Don't go back to him. Nobody deserves someone they've treated that poorly. Stop crying over him, I mean it. You are worth so much more than that ill-bred bigot. Please, please accept my offer to stay in the pack, you can stay with us forever if you want to." My mouth hung agape at his sincerity. They all looked expectant at an answer."Yes. I would love to... honestly I was scared how I'd survive on my own but I couldn't take it there anymore. I'll stay, and maybe cook to repay you for the kindness you're showing me, not many other packs would do the same. And of course how I could I turn these four puppy dog faces down... I'll if it means that much to all of you i'll stay." I giggled, making jokes with them made me feel happy, settled. Their looks of anger washed away and they smiled immediately. Until they realised I called them puppy dogs that is!"Hey!" Dylan called out, "we are not puppy dogs, I'll have you know we are a strong warrior pack of WOLVES!" I giggled at his response."Yeah, yeah" I giggled again collecting the plates up and walking to the sink. Ash grabbed my hand to pull me away from the sink, and they pulled me into a group hug. How had these four young men made me feel more comforatabel ina couple of hours then my birth pack ever had in years?Later, when all the boys had left to prepare for some pack event, Dylan hugged me and whispered in my ear, "I meant what I said. You are so strong for putting up with them all that time." That made me smile a bit."Thanks."I finally got home at night from a party. It was pretty boring, so I tried to decide what to do with the rest of my Friday night.Mmmm... I'm hungry I know that much. Walking into the house I called out to Raven. No answer. I called again. "Maybe she's sleeping." I said to myself, "if you're asleep Raven you'll pay I swear." I shouted ahead of myself so if she woke she would know what was coming.I walked upstairs to see the door slightly ajar. Opening it, I could see no one in the room before me. She never goes out, she has no friends, we made sure of that!I turned on the light to see a note on the bed. My eyes widened and I quickly grabbed it to see what it said.Shit, shit, shit, shit!Oh goddess what was I going to do, selfishly I wasn't even worried about what was going to happen to her out there. But instead I was worried about Zach and his reaction. It's not my fault, we all did this to her but I would have to let him know.
The people in Dylan's pack were all so nice, especially considering they are a warrior pack.They all accepted me without so much as a frown or worried glace. It was incredible how close they all were and how much respect they had for Dylan as a leader despite his young age. They trusted him whole-heartedly so when he said i was staying they knew his judgement was sound.We were just getting back from a pack camp fire. It was nice to finally be surrounded by people that cared. This pack was amazing, we never held pack events like that just for the sake of it. I felt like everyone else, and couldn't believe I even thought this was a bad idea earlier.With everything that has happened, the campfire just kept my mind off of things."Hey come on, let's get to bed." Dylan said. I nodded and he brought me up to an empty room in the packhouse. "This room is yours, you can do anything you want with it, I hope it's ok?" i nodded, taking it all in. "My room is right
This girl was blowing my mind. No wonder she was meant for a Luna position, she was sweet and caring, funny and so eager to learn and do more for the pack. She was stunning in a natural, minimal effort sort of way and by goddess was she slowly creaping into my heart.I didn't think it would be possible after losing my mate, i wasn't overly close or bonded to her but i felt the pull and knew one day we would be close and in love. We just didn't get the time together to develope as mates.But here was this young woman with no bond to pull me in, completely baffling me.She stayed in my room on her first three nights here but last night she didn't. I would be lying if i said i wasn't dissapointed. In fact i almost went to her as i couldn't sleep in the end, but i thought better of it. If she was getting comfortable i didn't want to get in the way of that.Laying here in bed, she consumed my thoughts as usual. How has she drawn me in so deeply? Just as
Shopping with his mother seemed to go by in a blur! She was so sweet and friendly and she kept complementing me and telling me which colours were for my skin type! She was a great person to go out with, if she were human I can imagine her being a person shopper to the stars! Haha, she was so excited about the date I think she was even happier about it then I am.I put on the black skater dress I bought for tonight (well technically he bought it as his mother put it onto his account, apparently at his request) along with some red stilettos that matched my lipstick. Placing the red belt around my waist I glanced at myself in the mirror. My curled wavy hair flowing half way down my back now, I hadn't even noticed it had grown but I loved the new length! I hardly recognised myself, I had lost my puppy fat, my cheekbones seem to have made an appearance and I was dressed up and looking... dare I say it.... beautiful! I'd never felt so happy staring at myself in a mirror before.
He leads her to a small table in the quiet restaurant. He pulls out her chair. She sits. He sits across from her. The only light is from a few well placed candles. A waiter approaches and, without saying a word, pours them wine and leaves the bottle. No menus. He has ordered for them in advance. There will be no interruptions from wait staff aside from the bringing and clearing of the courses.He watches as she sips the wine. She notices. Blushes, a shy smile slips out. He loves watching her. He smiles warmly back as if to comfort her. It does. She begins to enjoy his gaze. Soaking it in, feeling his eyes move over her. From her eyes to her nose, cheeks, lips. The curve of her neck. Slope of her shoulders. Her chest. The tiny bit of cleavage just peeking out from her dress. Again, she blushes. This time, so does he. They g
The date was amazing, she had fun and so did I. The contradiction between the car rides and the restaurant were almost laughable. On the way to and from the date we blared music and sang along like children, but on the date not a word was spoken out loud and yet every action from both of us seemed to speak volumes. It seems so natural with Raven, everything with her feels how I imagined everything to feel with a destined mate... except the touch though, but even that would come if we chose to mate each other.That’s all I want, to mate her and make her mine. She’s too perfect to let go but I don’t want to scare her off, she just got here and is still shattered on the inside. But there’s also the fact that she wasn’t officially rejected, our bond would be amazing and strong but there will always be a bond there with her past.
Everything was amazing, I had been here at the Forest Warrior Pack for about 4 months now. Dylan and I were still dating and it was going so well. I couldn’t believe I could care this much for a wolf who wasn’t my destined mate. I care for him more then I could ever see myself caring for Zach. I still have the boys as my best friends, even if Dylan can get a little overprotective as we haven’t made anything about mating official. But I have also met an amazing she wolf called Mia, she’s not like most which I suppose is why we get on. We still love to shop and gossip but we are a lot less bitchy and we love sports and training as much as any of the men. She’s like a sister I never had really, we wake up at 5am to run, then go to the training fields and spa with each other. We head home to eat breakfast then meet
It’s almost been 8 months since Raven came to me. My gift from the goddess. My everything. My love.She is the best warrior we have, I found out through her dreams/memories of her parents that she was a warriors daughter. It made sense with how strong and fast paced she was during training, it also explained how she was paired with an Alpha, she was beyond strong, in both body and mind. Her nightmares have finally stopped, she seems to have settled in fully now, she has a place she has built for herself, everyone in the pack loves her and looks up to her. Not because she’s dating me, but because of her own merits. I’m so unbelievably proud of her and what she’s accomplished but I’m also proud of myself for letting such a beautiful, amazing person in. Her being in my life and my pack has done n
