Mason’s P.O.V.“Brother?” is all that I say, more like ask when she introduces me to that other guy, who was intimidating me earlier.
“Yeah. We aren’t blood related. But he is the closest to the brother figure I have in my life. He has been taking care of me since 3rd grade as an elder brother” says Bella.
I know she heard my thoughts when I saw him in the car park, about them being romantically involved and somehow she finds it amusing.
This girl I tell you.
“Yes tell me?” I hear her voice say. I just look at her and can’t hold the smile when I see one plastered on her lips.
“Don’t even think about it princess, unless and until you want me to take some action for your reaction.”
She turns shocked at my unashamed reply and turns towards her brother. I turn to look at him as well. He looks happy and excited.
What is he excited about?
“About me, finding my mate” is all Bella says before speaking to him.
I shake my head at this weird brother-sister duo and turn my attention to them. He pulls her into a hug partly, because I don’t leave her hand at all.
I don’t plan to, ever.
Isabella’s P.O.V.Oh god, this guy I tell you. He hasn’t left my hand at all. Not that I’m complaining or anything. It’s cute, but I think I need to leave for home. And for that he needs to let me go.
I don’t have it in me to tell him to let go. It just feels good; I don’t want to stop this feeling ever. I turn to Ryan to ask him about others, “Where did everyone else go?”
He just shrugs saying, “Matt had some alpha work and needed Caleb with him, so they left early and took Rose with him.”
I nod and reply, “Okay. So...”
I am cut short with my mate voice, he sound slightly astound when he asks, “Matt! As in Matthew Miller?”
Ryan nods and asks, “Why are you asking about him?”
“Isn’t he the Alpha of the Blue Mood Pack?”
“Yes, he is. But what has that got to do with you?” asks Ryan, who now looks a little panicked.
“Nothing man. I have met him a couple of times, during training camps as well as during peace treaty meetings.”
I popped the question without even thinking, “Wait. What were you doing at those meetings?”
He just smirked and replied, “Oh, you know just pack duties.”
I shook my head, still not convinced with his answer. He looks at me and question, “So, since you are a member of the Blue Moon pack, what rank are you babe?”
Before I answer, Ryan beats me to it and says, “I am the Gamma and she, lover boy, is the Warrior Head.”
I just smile at him, he looks shocked.
At least he is not disappointed.
He smiles at me and slowly mumbles, so that only I could hear it, “I could never be disappointed by you princess.” The way he says it, it’s so genuine that my heart fills with love and affection for this perfect specimen who is destined to be my mate.
Now here is the thing about Warriors, they are usually mated to other warriors. It’s like 99.9% times, they are mated to each other as for the remaining 0.1% times, there is chance of a warrior to be mated to either a Beta or a Gamma.
A warrior being mated to an Alpha happens once in a blue moon. It’s the rarest of the rare occasion. So somewhere I always thought I’ll be mated to another warrior head just like my parents were. And Mason looks like he is the kind of person who is into war, fights and lots and lots of workout.
To be frank, he doesn’t give me a vibe of a Beta or Gamma; those titles just don’t fit to him. And I feel happy because I’m 100% sure that he is a warrior head just like me.
That’s the only reason I don’t ask him his ranking, but about his pack. My throat dries when he reveals his pack name. He just goes forward and says, “Mine is the Blood Moon Pack.”
All I think is, he belongs to the most Ruthless, Fearless and Strongest Pack Ever. Others might find it scary, but I feel proud enough to know that my mate is not just a strong warrior like me, but he is the strongest warrior head ever.
Mason notices my expression and thinks, “What made you feel all high and mighty?”
I just shrug and think just one word, which is enough as an answer, “YOU”
“Aren’t you scared?” he thinks.
“You being the strongest War….” Before I could finish it, Ryan asks, “What rank are you?”
I wasn’t ready for what he answers that question with. His answer makes me go weak in the knees, my heart is beating as if it’s running a marathon, my palms get all sweaty and it feels like I’m swept of the floor and about to fall from a f*****g cliff. All of this feeling when he answers it with, “I’m the ALPHA.”
“WHAT?” shouts Ryan.
I can’t even muster up the courage to ask him or to react to this. I just Freeze. He slowly let go of my hand and wrap it around my waist and pulls me to him. I release the breath that I didn’t even realize I was holding in.
I look up to him and he gives a warm smile, which precipitates all my worries away, and asks “You okay babe?”
“I’m fine, just a little shocked” I tell him.
“f**k Bella. What did you do in your last life to be mated with him?”asks Ryan.
That’s my brother people.
I smack his head to make him shut up, he just rubs his hand where I just hit him and whines, “Hey that was uncalled for.”
“Exactly” is all I say.
I hear Mason laugh at our banter and throw him a glare, to which he lifts his hand, to show he didn’t do it on purpose.
Boys, seriously.
“You mean Men, love?” my heart stops at that endearment. I know he has used it a couple of times till now, but it was always in the head. This time, it was out loud.
We both are wrapped up in our own bubble, when Ryan shouts, “Oh my god, Bella. It’s already way past 4 pm; we need to get you home. The tornado's might hit in few minutes.”
Shit. I forgot. Twins. Triplets.
I look at my mate a little panicked and say, “s**t, I’m so late. I have to leave. I’ll see you tomorrow babe.”
He is confused at my urgency, I just say, “My siblings.”
He nods understanding what I mean and drops down to give me a chaste kiss on my cheek and whispers, “I’ll see you tomorrow love. Drive safe” turns and leaves.
I feel my heart sink, when I see him leave. Ryan grabs my hand and settles me in the passenger seat and moves towards the driver’s seat and starts the car, making our way towards home.
