Runaway Mate

Wolves

Josh's POV

Control yourself, I repeatedly tell my wolf and myself. Being in bed right next to my mate is everything I always wanted, but not being able to touch her is torture. She fell asleep almost immediately and I've just been staring at her like a creep. Her long brown hair is a tossed mess and I want to run my fingers through it. "Alpha, Luna, I will return to the pack tomorrow. I found my mate and I want to introduce her to the pack. She's human, so could you inform the pack to not overwhelm her?" I link the two and know Luna Heather will be the first to respond.

"Congratulations, Josh! I am so happy for you and can't wait to meet her. I will let the pack know and we can have a small lunch to slowly introduce her to everyone?" I smile, though she can't see it.

"I would like that very much, Luna. Thank you."

"I look forward in meeting your mate as well. Does she know about our kind?" Alpha Steven asks.

"Yes. She found out much sooner than I had planned. I'll explain everything to you both tomorrow. For now, have a goodnight."

They both wish my a goodnight and close the link.

I'm not sure when, but I eventually fell asleep. I woke up when I got a sense of bacon. Mmm, my favorite. Turning to my side, I feel disappointed that Jennifer is not in bed with me. I jolt up and make my way to the kitchen where I see my mate singing and dancing while cooking. Damn, she has a nice ass.

I sneak up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist, causing her to jump in surprise. "Good morning, beautiful. Don't mind me. Keep singing." I whisper into her ear. She turns to face me and is blushing. "You heard that?" She asks and I nod my head yes.

"Make yourself useful and the table." She states, changing the subject. She points to the cabinet and I take out the plates, glasses, and find the utensils. Once everything is done, we sit together and enjoy the delicious breakfast she prepared.

I begin to feel nervous as I think of how to ask her to meet my pack. "Jenn, there's something I want to ask you, and please don't feel pressured into doing so, okay?" She hesitantly nods her head, and I continue.

"I would like for you to come back to my pack and meet just the high ranks wolves. The rest of the pack members can be met at a later time. I don't want to overwhelm you."

Two hours later, we are on our way to Silver Moon pack. I can't believe she agreed to come with me and my wolf is prancing in excitement. When we reach our destination, her face is adorable. "Holy s**t! This is where you guys live? This place is huge and absolutely beautiful!" She exclaims in glee.

I get out of Jenn's car and walk over to the passenger side to open the door for her. She grabs my hand that I have out for her and she takes a moment to observe our surroundings. "Luna Heather has set up a light lunch for us in the garden. Alpha Steven has ordered the rest of the pack to remain away from the garden to give us privacy." I inform her and she tells me to lead the way.

"Don't be worried. Alpha and Luna will love mate!" My wolf proudly states in my head.

Jennifer's POV

I have never seen or been somewhere so magical feelings. This place is gorgeous and everything beyond my imagination. When we reach the garden, I am immediately drawn to one woman who looks like a goddess. She has short brown hair, long legs, and what surprises me is the number of tattoos she has. Her green eyes lock with mine and she smiles warmly at me. "Hi! You must be Jennifer. It is my pleasure to meet you. I'm Luna Heather and this over here is my husband, Alpha Steven." Alpha Steven is a handsome man with short, dark brown hair and brown eyes that match as well. He extends his arm and I shake his hand.

"Please, have a seat." Luna Heather says, and we all do as told. A young woman appears with a cart of food and beverages, placing them on the table. She bows to Alpha Steven and Luna Heather before leaving the garden.

A take a sip of tea to help calm my nerves. "So, tell me about yourself," Luna asks politely.

"Well, hmm, where should I start?" I ask nobody in particular.

"How about talking about your family? Are you close to them?" Alpha Steven asks me, causing my heart to ache.

"I was an only child, but I was close to my mom and dad." I form a small smile as I think about them. "Was?" Josh asks me.

"Yes. Unfortunately, they both died. Leaving me alone in the world. I- I don't have any friends." I embarrassingly admit.

I feel Josh grab the hand that I have placed on my lap and squeezes it. "Well, you will make plenty of friends here. Trust me." He assures me with a smile. "Yes, I agree with my Beta on that." I look at Josh with confusion. "Beta?" I ask.

"Ah, yes. I have so much to teach you still. If you want. Beta is the second in command. After me, is the Gamma. Then lastly, the Delta in ranking order."

"You talking about me?" I look over at the unfamiliar voice and see a young man approaching us. Grabbing a chair, he sits down and leans so far back on it that I thought he would fall over with the chair. "Hey gorgeous, I'm Dan." This causes a loud growl coming from... Josh? It actually sounded like a genuine growl from an animal.
