Allie’s mate didn’t pick us up. Instead, a guy named Greg shows up. She thought that her mate will pick us up but she gets mad when he didn’t.
“Allie, he might be busy. He’s the beta, he has a lot of responsibilities too.” I said, trying to console her.
“But he didn’t tell me that he will not pick us up. I’m his mate. He should prioritize me too.” Allie says.
I look at Greg and see him staring at me. I look at him, apologizing for what Allie’s said.
“You need to be more understanding. When we become part of Wolf Fang, you will be the Beta Female. You will also have jobs to do.” I said.
“Oh s**t! I forgot about that.”
“Hmm. Excuse me?” Greg said uncomfortably.
“Yes?” I answered.
“Beta Kayden is busy processing both of your papers and where Wendy stay. Plus, Alpha Mark requested every warrior today for restructures of pack rules.” Greg explains.
“Thank you, Greg, for informing us.” I look at Allie who’s still looking outside the car. “See? He’s busy because of his duties and about our arrival. He convinces the Alpha for me to join his pack, that’s a huge favor. Be nice to your mate Allie.” I said.
She just ignores the information and stays quiet on the ride. I wish Kayden, her mate good luck. He doesn’t know how stubborn her mate is.
Actually, I’m nervous. Those papers which Greg said, it’s about my history. I will need to fill up the information they needed to trace where I came from. I just hope Mark didn’t contact my previous pack. I don’t want them to know where I am now. I will talk to him privately about this. I hope he understands.
Allie and I both fall asleep inside the car. We both woke up when someone nudged us. I saw a guy smiling at me and then looking at Allie with love in his eyes. This must be Kayden.
Allie ignores him and walks out of the car. Kayden looked at me with confusion.
“You must be Wendy, I’m Kayden. Allie’s mate.” He outreaches his hand and I accept it.
“I am Wendy. Nice meeting you and thank you for helping me to come along with Allie.” I said.
“She wants you to stay beside her, I can’t say no to my mate. Plus, there’s no harm in adding one more to this pack. By the way, why is she avoiding me like that?” He asks.
“Good luck with that Kayden.” That’s what I said.
He then moves and tries to hug Allie but Allie pushes him.
“Hey, baby, What’s wrong?” Kayden asks.
“What’s wrong with your face. Why didn’t you tell me that you’re not going to pick us up?”
“Oh, about that…. I’m sorry, we have an emergency meeting this morning. Alpha told me to be there. It’s important.” Kayden explains.
“More important than me?”
“Allie, you must understand that I’m the beta here and after the ceremony, you will be the beta female and we will have responsibilities to the pack,” Kayden explains.
I understand him. I know how a pack works. I saw and learn everything while living like hell in my previous pack.
“But I am your mate and you promise to----.”
“You might be his mate but he still has responsibility in this pack as the beta. If you want him to prioritize you more than the welfare of this pack, I can remove him as the beta and be a warrior only.” A man with a strong aura spoke behind me.
I recognize his voice.
I turn around and meet his beautiful gray eyes again. He looks shocked too when he sees me.
“Alpha, please don’t do that. Allie’s just upset that’s why she’s saying those things.” Kayden says. Not aware of how Mark and I stare at each other. He looks away and looks at Allie.
“Allie, right?” Alpha Mark says.
“Y-Yes Alpha.” Allie looks frightened all of the sudden. Who would not? He is talking to the Alpha. He seems like he didn’t like how Allie reacted to Kayden not picking us up because of doing his Beta duties.
“You must understand, the pack always comes first. We are the leaders of this pack, you too. You will have responsibilities once you are promoted to beta female. Talking like you want to prioritize yourself might disqualify you from that position. I hope that you remove that attitude, it will not do good for you and for your mate. You’re in the pack now. The people here are your family too. Remember that.” He says.
Actually, I tremble a bit. He is using his Alpha tone while lecturing Allie. My wolf inside of me is excited about his power. Lucy!
“I’m sorry Alpha,” Allie says.
I pitied her but it's true. She needs to be scolded sometimes.
“Come to my office after you two settle down your things in your room.” He said before leaving but not after he look at me and smiled. He’s almost in the door when he looks at Kayden. I think they are talking about using the pack link. Kayden looks at me before looking at Alpha Mark before it fully leaves us.
Allie saw that and turns to me with questioning eyes.
“You know him?” Allie asks.
“I met him in the bar yesterday. I didn’t know that he is the Alpha here.” I said.
“He smiles at you, I saw it. Do you like him?” Allie asks.
“Allie! Be respectful. He already scolded you.” I said.
“Hmmm… I think you like him.”
I blush. What can she say about that so easily? I just met him yesterday, why would I have a crush on him.
“I don’t. Come on, let’s help Kayden with your things.” I said.
“Let him handle that. He’s putting my things first to our room before we send you to your room.”
“Be nice and understanding okay? I think your mate is a nice guy.” I said.
“You think so?”
“Yes. So be nice and stop being stubborn all the time.” I said.
“I can’t promise but I will try.”
“Girls, I already put Allie’s things in our room. I will show you, Wendy, where you are staying. Come on and follow me.” Kayden says.
I nodded and tug Allie’s hand to follow us.
I’m shocked showing how big my room is and the view outside the window.
“I’m staying here? Not in a room with a roommate?” I asked.
Kayden laugh at my reaction but was elbowed by Allie.
“for the record, only the third in command, beta, and alpha family is staying in the packhouse. Others have their house or place near the area. You will see it once I tour both of you in our pack. And this room is personally picked by Alpha Mark to be your place, don’t ask me why. I don’t question his decision.” Kayden explains.
“Oh.” That’s the only thing I can say.
“I will leave you now. Allie and I need to fix her things in our room and talk.” Kayden says.
But I bet they are doing more than talking.
I wink at Allie before they left my room.
I look around. The room is really spacious and the view is beautiful. Did he choose this for me?
I small smile makes its way to my lips.
How thoughtful of him.
