Aiden
Last night I was at the club with Braxton. I could not get that new nanny off of my mind. It was her eyes that haunted me.
I kept seeing those green sad eyes of hers. I drowned myself in alcohol so I didn’t have to see those eyes. Didn’t work, I just kept seeing them.
Even the girl I picked up at the club could help me. When she kissed me, I felt disgusted. I know it’s because I saw my mate.
I ended up turning the club girl down and went to a hotel for the night, alone. I couldn’t go back to the house, her scent would still be there and right now I needed to think.
I have heard that once you see your mate, the bond starts growing. That’s all I did was see her and already this bond is overtaking me.
I should be thrilled I found my mate but I’m not. My life is complicated. Not only do I have to share my mate with my twin, but my family has to be accepting of her.
The fact that my mate is human is a sticky situation. She isn’t aware of who I really am. She will know nothing about werewolves, let alone know what an Alpha is. The moon goddess knows all of this about this, so why did she give me this human mate?
I could not sleep. I’m going to have to do something eventually about my mate. I can’t keep avoiding her.
I left the hotel early this morning. I was pulling up the driveway and got out of my car to hand it over to Marcus.
Marcus was one of the omegas we have around the packhouse. Even though we have the pack intermixed with this human town, we still employed omegas to be here at the house.
To the humans, this is just a huge mansion my family lives in. But to the wolves, it’s the pack house. That’s another thing, my mother employed a human to live and work here. That’s something I can’t understand either as to why she did that.
“Welcome back Alpha Aiden.” Marcus said to me as I gave him my keys.
“Thanks Marcus.”I said to him.
“Just so you know, I parked a new car a bit ago. It belongs to the new nanny.” Marcus told me.
I took a deep breath before I answered him. “So, she moved in today?” I asked him.
“Appears so. She didn’t bring much to move in with. I have a feeling there is a story with her. But one thing did catch my attention though.” Marcus said.
“She is human.” I answered him.
“Yes sir. I’m confused as to why Luna would hire her. We kept who we are a secret for a reason.” He said.
I nodded my head in agreement, “I know, I don’t have that answer as to why my mom hired her. I too would like to know the answer as well.”
Marcus nodded his head and got into my car to park it. I know Braxton is here, we need to talk.
I walked into the house, and her scent hit me like a ton of bricks. Goddess, that scent is all over the place. Why? It’s like she's been everywhere in this house already.
I fought the urge to go find her and went straight up to my room. Surely I can hide from her and her scent in there.
I went up the stairs. As I got to the top, I saw Eva behind this potted palm we have in the hallway.
“Eva?” I called to her, “Why are you behind the plant?” I asked.
“Shhh, I’m hiding from Sam. She has to find me.” Eva said.
“Hiding from Sam? Are you playing hide and seek?” I asked her.
“Ah huh, it’s my turn to hide.” She said.
I rolled my eyes, that explains why Sam’s scent is all over the house. It’s because she is playing this game with Eva.
“Eva, where are you?” I heard being called out in a sing-songy voice.
“Run, she is coming!” Eva giggled.
My little sister is giggling. I haven’t heard her giggle in so long.
“I hear you, I’m going to find you.” Sam laughed in the distance.
I looked and saw Braxton’s door was slightly opened. I ducked into his room. One because I did t want to spoil my little sister’s game, but also I didn’t want to see Sam just yet either.
“Finally made it back?” I heard Braxton say after I entered the room.
“Yeah, apparently I came back to hide and seek.” I told him.
“Yeah, it’s been f*****g torture. She is definitely our mate.” He said.
“We’re fucked.” I told Braxton.
“What the hell are we going to do? Mom and dad aren't going to accept her for us. Maybe if she was Colt and Damien’s mate because they are younger than us, but damn it you're going to be the next Alpha, I’m going to be the Alpha Enforcer. No way she can be a Luna.” Braxton said.
I sighed. He is right, this a f*****g nightmare. “I know, that’s all I could think of last night. She is already in here.” I said tapping the side of my head.
Suddenly Braxton’s door opened. We both looked to see why the door opened, only to be looking at those sad green eyes that haunted me last night.
