The last male Alpha

7: Her new mate

 *Kaisa*

 “Alpha Kaisa.. over here.. it’s a wolf.. a big one.. I think it’s .. dead”. One of my fighters, Obron calls.

 We are out during a border check, trying to decide where we need to focus our attention and where we should put up new cameras.

 I hurry over there, if it’s dead we need to know why, if it has to do with what happened to The crimson moon pack…And where it came from.

 And then I see him, a giant dark brown wolf, probably the biggest I have ever seen and I kneel down beside him. As I run a hand down on his broad rib cage, I notice how soft his fur is. “He is alive, I can feel his heart”.

 Gently looking him over I find no serious wounds, a couple of.. what look like bites, but they are almost fully healed. And I wonder why he seems so weak.

 “Obron, we need a gurney”. I look up. “Go get one and someone strong to carry, we need to get him back to the house”.

 “But Alpha Kaisa.. is that.. ?” He looks worried.

 I nod to the guard accompanying us. “Yes, I am not alone.. now go.. hurry”.

 “Alpha”. Obron gives me a nod. Then he hurries past the guard and I hear him order. “Guard her with your life”.

 I gently stroke the big wolf’s face. “It will be okay.. we will bring you home.. hold on”.

 ‘Kaisa.. ‘. I hear Solstraale say softly, followed by small whimpers.

 “Yeah”. I know what she is going to say.

 Another soft whimper. ‘It’s him.. finally.. oh Kaisa.. please please don’t force me away from another mate’.

 “I am not going to force anything.. but I also can’t promise anything”. I say softly, I feel it too, I felt it seconds before I saw him. “I don’t know what he will say.. or if he ever wakes”.

 My fingers gently nuzzle his ear, and a soft rumble emerges from his chest. So he isn’t all gone. It is rather overwhelming, even if I have felt the call of a mate before.

 But this is different than with Taddeo, with him it had felt like a flame lighted in me, licking over me, this is a furnace, an inferno.. threatening to consume me. I just want to bury myself in his soft fur and listen to his heart beating.

 Solstraale almost can’t contain herself, changing so rapidly between whimpering and pondering if he will want us at all to ecstatic joy that it leaves me dizzy.

 When I hear Obron return with a couple of strong fighters to help, I quickly stand up. I do not want to give away the turmoil going on in my mind, heart and soul right now.

 “Be gentle”. I say when they start lifting him onto the gurney.

 Obron nods, but I can’t help but notice the look he gives me.

 When they lift him I fall in beside the gurney, placing my hand on his paw. “Hold on, we will be there soon”. 

 “Careful, but as fast as you can manage”. Obron tells the others, casting a glance at me and I smile back approvingly.

 The walk through the forest is mostly silent, besides Solstraale still making a spectacle of herself, thanking the Sun God and the Moon Goddess for sending us a new mate.

 ‘So strong and so handsome’. She sighs.

 ‘How do you know’. I reply in my head. ‘Okay strong, maybe.. I mean he is very large.. but handsome ?’

 Another amorous sigh. ‘Look at him’.

 I almost groan. ‘He is in wolf form’.

 ‘But such a beautiful wolf’. She says with a soft whisper.

 I chose to ignore her, my wolf has clearly lost her senses.

 “Take him to the clinic”. Obron says, as we reach the house. The sick clinic is in one of the small adjoining buildings.

 “No !” I straighten my back. “Please take him to my room”.

 Obron looks at me. “Are you sure Alpha..? We don’t know how he might react to waking up”.

 “Yes I am sure.. please just do as I ask”. I don’t want to have to explain my choices, after all I am their alpha.

 When they have placed him on my large bed, I ask them to leave, and send the pack doctor. She shows up less than ten minutes later. She agrees that his wounds are healing nicely, and she can’t find anything else wrong, beside him running a low fever. So she tells me to give him time, and he should wake up.

 Once she has left I sit down beside him, once again feeling this burning need to be near him.. to touch him and Solstraale is absolutely not helping, throwing visions at me of love and passions and litters of puppies.

 *Tisha*

 “Sis, what is it..”. I stop in my track as I walk into the room, finding my sister at the edge of her bed, gently stroking the head of the biggest damn wolf I ever saw. “.. you guys found someone”.

 She nods. “We did.. as you see”.

 “So he is still.. not awake I see”. I walk closer, and Maaneskin is instantly alert, telling me this is no ordinary wolf. “He is big.. and he looks very strong..”.

 I step back when Kaisa all but jumps me, getting right in my face. “Keep your paws off him.. HE.. IS..MINE”.

 “Oh wow.. so .. he is your mate ?” I look at my sister. I have never seen her like this.

 “Sorry.. Solstraale is completely irrational”. She says and I can see how she internally scolds her wolf. “Yes.. he is our mate… crazy right ?”

 I can’t help smiling at her. “I think it is great.. but aren’t you worried that he is ugly or fat or something.. in human form I mean”.

 “No”. She shakes her head. “It wouldn’t matter to me.. his soul is connected to mine.. we share the same essence.. nothing else matters”.

 “Aww, he really is your true mate”. I step forward to hug her. “I am happy for you and I hope he will wake up soon”.

 She looks at him. “I hope so, doc said that she couldn’t find a physical reason he shouldn’t”.

 “I am sure he will come around soon”. I smile softly. “And that he will worship you”.

 “I wish I could feel so certain.. but I don’t really have the best experience with.. mates”. She closes her eyes and mumbles. “I know it is different, Solstraale.. but we do not know how it will be for him”.

 I pull her in for another hug. “It will be okay sweetie.. if he so much as think about hurting you, I will hurt him”.

 “Thanks sis”. She pulls away, and I can see how her body leans towards him, like an invisible power pulling at her.

 “I will go check everything is as it should be and make sure all security measures are up”. I back up, towards the door. “You want me to send word to other packs, asking if they are missing one giant wolf ?”

 She shakes her head. “Lets wait till he wakes.. hear his story first”.

 “Okay.. see you later”. The last thing I see before leaving is my sister rolling herself up beside the wolf. I really hope he turns out good, she deserves someone awesome.
