The Summit- Part 1

1357 Words
Chase P.O.V I looked down at her in my lap as she slept. We still had at least another hour before we got to the Summit grounds. She was so peaceful, I didn’t want to have to wake her up. I couldn’t remember the last time she slept like this without waking up screaming. I looked up at Cam, who was staring at me and raised a brow. ‘What?’ I mind-linked, because I didn’t want to wake Bailey up. ‘Nothing. It’s just been a long time since I’ve see you two so content.’ He said, offering a smile before looking back to the road. It was nice to know my guys were behind us, if we were going to do this chosen mate thing. I get why she wanted to wait until after the Summit. She was worried about the second chance mate. It’s rare, but it happens. ‘Chase, is she going to be okay?’ I looked up at the one who linked me and slightly shrugged. ‘I hope so, Ty. I hope so.’ I had no idea if she was going to be okay. She had gotten kidnapped, found her mate, rejected her mate, all in six months. She was broken. Rejecting a mate, no matter if they deserve it or not, took a toll on the body. No wonder why she didn’t eat for two weeks. I’d always chalked it up to her being beaten and abused. It wasn’t. She was hurting, and I was hating myself for not seeing it sooner. I gently stroked her hair as the last half hour of our traveling came to a stop. We were here, damn that hour went by too quick. She was still sleeping peacefully on my lap. The guys had already gotten out of the car to stretch and find which lodge was ours. “Hate to wake you love, but we’re here. “ I said gently setting her up. She groaned and put her hand over her head. “I was sleeping so well too.” She pouted and I couldn’t help but laugh. Her pout was just the cutest damn thing. “Sorry. But they’ll be expecting us to freshen up and join them in the hall. You know how it works. We have to join all together the first night no-” I was cut off by her. “No matter what time the last pack gets here. Yeah yeah. I know. Doesn’t mean I have to be happy about it.” She mumbled that last part just before Matt opened the door. “Got the keys to our lodge, they expect us as soon as we change. There’s apparently one more pack that isn’t here yet.” He said as he started pulling the bags out of the back. “Yay us for not being the last ones!” Bailey said with a laugh before crawling out of the car. Matt and I laughed at her before I followed out of the car. I helped her grab a few bags before we went inside. I’ll never get used to how nice these lodges get. They seem to change every year. “I call largest room!” I heard Bailey call from the top of the stairs, causing all of us to laugh. Obviously she got the largest room. She’s the Alpha. I followed her up the stairs to her room and set the bags down. “I’ll leave you to get ready, Alpha. Don’t take too long.” I said with a wink, watching her giggle as she headed into the bathroom. I shook my head and left her room with a chuckle. I picked the room across from her. I definitely needed a shower, so I went right for it while the guys unloaded the rest of the bags. Bailey P.O.V This place was as beautiful as ever. I would never get used to the amazing shower here. I turned the water on and waited for the bathroom to get steamy before stepping in. After our car ride, and other activities, this was amazing. I probably spent too much time in the shower, but I honestly didn’t care. I wrapped the towel around me after shutting the water off and walked into the bedroom. I wasn’t looking forward to sitting in the room with the all the other Alpha’s. Thank god Chase would be in the room with me. I wouldn’t do this otherwise. Picking up one of the bags, I unzipped it. This one had my pretty clothes in it. The ones I needed for being the best looking female here. Obviously, as and Alpha, my clothes are expensive and name brand. Macy usually took care of the shopping for me, thank god because I hated it. She’s the one that packed this bag too, because I had no idea what pretty dresses to bring, I had so many. I pulled out matching black lace bra and underwear and slipped them on before looking through the options. I didn’t need something crazy formal, but definitely eye catching. I saw this Vintage Elegant Off Shoulder 3/4 Sleeve Slim Lace Dress in emerald and pulled it out of the bag. It was absolutely stunning. Macy must have brought it back from her travels. I slipped it on and pulled out some black heals. I glanced in the mirror before heading to the vanity and smiled. Exactly the look I was going for. I sat down and let my hair out of the towel. I grabbed my blow dryer and curling wand. About twenty minutes later, my red hair was dry and curled and I had applied a smokey eye look. Thankfully Macy had taught me make up, otherwise I wouldn’t know what to do. I took one last look in the mirror, and smiled. It was the first time in six months I felt like an Alpha. A damn hot one I might add. I grabbed a small clutch and headed out of the bedroom. I was shutting the door when I heard a whistle. I turned to see the guys coming out of their rooms, jaws on the floor, eyes wide. “Ahem.” I heard, and looked over to Chase, who’s eyes were fighting to stay green, but he was slowly losing to his wolf, and his eyes were black by the time he spoke next. “I don’t think you should wear that. “ He said, nearly growling. I had to smile, he was so protective. “Why not, Chase? She looks stunning! They need to see her like this.” Cam said with a smile, looking over me with his eyes and then at Chase. I could see the other two nodding. “Chase, I’m wearing it. Control yourself.” I flashed him a smile before walking downstairs. I could hear them still in the hallway arguing, and I smiled. Even if I did find my second chance mate, they would always be my guys. “Hurry up slow pokes! “ I yelled as I opened the door to the lodge. We were closest to the hall, thankfully. I don’t think my heels would take walking too far. I started towards the hall, and the guys fell into their positions behind me. I didn’t normally have four hunks following me, but today I didn’t mind it at all. Chase stepped in front of me as we reached the hall and opened the door with a slight smile. I could see he was still not happy that I was still wearing this dress. I put a hand on his arm as I passed through the door. “Down boy.” I whispered just loud enough for him to hear. He laughed and waited for the guys to pass through the door before closing it and coming to stand behind me. “You ready Alpha?” He asked and I just nodded. We still had to wait for the last pack to arrive, but at least I could get most of this over already. “Let’s do this.” I said putting on my best smile as the doors opened and my name echoed through the ballroom. “Announcing Alpha Bailey Fox of Crimson Fang.” I took a step inside and heard the soft gasps, causing me to smile.  I totally got this.
