The Alpha's Love

Lucas

Hunter

I woke up the next morning, with the memory of that beautiful creature that is my mate. What am I going to do? From what I could tell she was down to earth kind, loving, gentle, and so strong. All these years with her being bullied at school and I know she is getting it at home as well. I just don’t know how bad. It makes me wonder what my best friend does to her in private. I hope it’s not that bad. I finally pull myself out of bed and get ready for the day. I finish getting ready and text Luca to meet me in my room. He sent back that he will see me in a few. He also asked if he should grab James and bring him along. I told him no, that I just wanted to see him. I waited on my couch for him to show up wondering how I was gonna bring this up. When there was a knock on the door, I knew Luca was at it so I told him to come in. He entered and looked at me.

“Hey man, what's up? What did you want to talk about? You look nervous.” He states.

“I need my best friend's advice and for him to not speak to anyone about what we are going to talk about ok?” I told him.

“You know me, I won't say anything. So what's on your mind that has you all closed up.” He asked me.

“Well first off I found my mate last night.” He went to ask who was but I held up my hand for him to wait till I was done talking. “She is not yet 18. Her birthday is in 13 days. I do not know what to do because of her status. My parents have always said to accept whoever the moon goddess has made for me but I don’t know if it's a good idea. I feel a very strong pull to her, almost like if I do decide to reject her it will be the biggest mistake of my life.” I tell him my thoughts.

“I get that you're scared but why would there be any thought of rejecting her? Who is she?” He asked.

I took a deep breath and said “It is Keri, James' cousin. What should I do? I talked to her for a bit last night and she’s nothing like I thought she was. She is stronger than she lets on. What are your thoughts? Help me figure this out. I don’t know what to do here?”

He looked at me with a thought on his face. “I think you should accept her. I don’t think you should reject her just because they turned her into a servant at her uncle’s house. She wasn’t always like that. Do you remember who her parents were?” I shook my head no because I really don’t remember. “They were the best warriors we had. She was supposed to follow in their footsteps when she got older. Her father died in the rogue attack and her mother was murder by the alpha rogue from what Keri told your dad. Do you remember now?” I shook my head yes and thought for a moment.

“So why has she never trained and why is she treated the way she has been?” I asked. I had no idea why this was happening to her.

“I had overheard James talking one day about how his parents never liked her, even when her parents were around. They didn’t want to take her in from what I caught, but they didn’t want to look bad in front of everyone so they took her in. Then slowly they started making her into a servant for them. I think they also physically abuse her, but they don’t do it where we can see it. I have always felt bad, but it is not my place to say anything. They are after all the gammas of our pack and James is the future gamma. What would you have me do?” He told me all of this and I felt sick to my stomach. That my best friend and future gamma can do that to his cousin.

“I wouldn’t expect you to say or do anything. I just wish I would have paid more attention to what was going on. I don’t know what she will do when she turns 18. I never ever thought to stick up for her or try to help her out. How is she going to want to be with me if I have never tried to help her? I am afraid to find out. What do you think everyone will say? I know my parents' thoughts but what if they are not ok with this?” I ask him with so much worry on my mind.

“Well I have known your parents for years and know what they think of the moon goddess. I do not think you should worry about them. As for me I am totally ok with you and her if you choose her. You should worry about what James might do if he finds out because he already hurts her. But you deserve everything that the moon goddess gives you and more. You will be an excellent Alpha. I will follow you and the future Luna no matter what.” He tells me this.

He starts to make me feel a little better about wanting to choose her. I too think she will be an excellent Luna. I just have to wait till her birthday. “Do you think I should tell at least my parents? That way they can help if needed when the time comes. I just want to spend time with her. How do I do that if we have never really hung out? How can I talk to her again without her figuring out that we are mates? Or do I just wait until she is 18 then try?”

Luca thought for a moment then said, I think try to bring it up to your parents. Maybe they can get her out of her family's house at least. Ask them what they think about her being your mate. If they can get her into the pack house or in her own house for the time being then it may give you the opportunity to chat with her here and there. Or tell your parents and then just wait two weeks. The decision is ultimately up to you man. Only you know what you want. What are you going to do about James when he finds out?”

“I think I will see what my parents think then see what they want to do. I am not Alpha yet so I don’t really have a say yet. As for James I guess I will have to play it by year to see how he will react. I think he shouldn’t know until she accepts me. Then I will have to tell him. Then hopefully maybe his attitude will change. I hope so.” I told him.

He was quiet for a moment. “I think that is a good plan. As for James, you know him, he won't be happy. You can see every time she is around he is always angry with her and always wants to torcher and demand things from her. He has been doing it since we were five years old. I hope he will change his tone. I hate to bring this up, but if he doesn’t and he still treats her like s**t what are you going to do?”

I had to think long and hard about that because Luca was going to be my Beta and James is supposed to be my Gamma. “I don’t know, maybe my dad will have words of wisdom for me. I am gonna head there and have a chat with them. Thank you for listening and being there for me always.”

“You're welcome. Keep that in mind for whenever I meet my mate. It's gonna be a bumpy road since I like to date a different girl every other week.” He says to me. He laughs a little knowing it won’t be easy.

“I always got your back man, always. Now I think I will go chat with my parents in hopes that they will help me and not tell me to reject her. I think that will be devastating. Talk to you later. I will let you know how it goes.” I tell him my thoughts.
