Cassie pov
"WHO ARE YOU TO STEP FOOT ONTO MY LAND!?" the mysterious man roared
"I'm s..sorry, we were looking for the LOR pack.. we didn't mean to step foot into your territory.." she replied, her mate on the ground from the weight of this mysterious man's aura.
"YOU'RE SIX MILES INTO MY TERRITORY, TELL ME NOW WHY I SHOULDN'T KILL YOU!?"
*Her phone starts ringing*
"I.. if you would allow me to answer my phone I can provide proof that.."
A ear piercing roar comes from him as he rushes up and snatches her phone from her bag. He answered it holding out for her to speak.
"h..hello?" she stammers
"Hey Cassie, where are you? You should have been here hours ago? Alpha Duncan is about to send out a search party" her cousin laughs
He abruptly ends the call putting her phone in the bag shoving it towards her.
"Get your mate off the ground and get out of my territory" he growls as he starts to walk away.
"but… we don't know where we are…" she says quietly
"that way, 8 miles and you'll find the Pack house" he says as he closes the door to the cabin.
The way he spit out 'pack house' made her think he didn't like being around people, not that his lovely demeanor didn't say the same. She helps her mate off the ground, he was covered in dirt and debris from practically face planting into the dirt once that colossal man let his aura out.
"You ok?" she says as she wipes dirt off his shirt.
"Will you stop preening me? If I can't protect you from a random strangers aura then what use am i… he wasn't even a alpha wolf.." he says as he finishes cleaning off the dirt from his clothes.
"he might not have been a alpha wolf, but he was something.." she whispers.
"What are you talking about?"
"Nothing, lets go. 8 more miles, that way." She points at a hill.
"Ugh.. I'd rather stay face planted in the dirt.." he groans.
They finally made it onto LOR pack, when they came across a search party. 7 shifted wolves and 3 in human form.
"dang it, I forgot to call Cindy back" She curses
She reaches into her bag to find her phone, *27 texts and 32 missed calls* she starts scrolling through reading them
CINDY-
"Hey, you lost? Lol"
"You should be here soon right?"
*missed call*
*missed call*
"Cassie, I'm getting worried.."
*Missed call*
*Missed call*
"Cass, this isn't funny. Text me when you take a break."
*Missed call*
"Cass, alpha is getting worried. It's getting late, you should've been here hours ago.."
*Connected 0:27*
*Missed call*
*Missed call*
"Cassie, are you ok? You sounded scared on the phone.. please call back."
*Missed call*
"Alpha has sent out a search party, I really hope you're ok.."
As she was scrolling through her texts quickly reading them she is caught off guard when a loud howls echo around them.
"State your name and business on these lands" an older man in his 40's says while approaching them.
"Cassie, this is my mate Josiah, we're here visiting my cousin Cindy Farris."
The old man growls lowly
"And… to meet the alpha to discuss joining.."
Josiah looked at his mate in shock, joining? She was next in line for alpha, after her brother, why would she want to join another pack to be an omega? All new comers or weak members were omegas..
"Cassie, what-" he's cut off by her growling at him
"My name is Brian, I'm the Beta of the LOR pack. Alpha Duncan was needed elsewhere so he won't be able to meet with you until this afternoon. I know you guys look exhausted, so let's get you to the pack house." He states plainly, like it's just every other day that two alpha bloods want to join their pack to become omegas.
"Anyway that we can go to Cindy's? I would love to see my cousin." Cassie asks
Brian's eyes fog over as we wait for a response, I look over at my fuming mate. He wasn't happy but if I have to use my alpha aura on him to comply, I will, I will not lose my mate.
"Cindy said it would be fine, lets stop by the pack depot to get you some towels and toiletries, Doesn't look like you packed much." Beta Brian states.
"That is quite alright Beta, me and my mate need our rest before meeting the Alpha. Maybe a later time perhaps?" Josiah states
For whatever reason he is.. more him.. on this land… she ponders her thoughts before she is nudged by her mate as they follow Beta Brian to Cindy's house.
"This would be it, I'll be by around 5pm to escort you to the alpha meeting. Cindy is at work at the daycare, but said it should be fine for you to go right in. Key is under the Mat." He waves as he begins walking back down the road towards the pack house.
"Beta Brian?"
"Yes, Cassie?"
"When will Cindy be home?" she asks
"Typically training is done by 6 p.m. but there are a few that like to stay behind a bit for pointers, I would say about 7 p.m. or so. Why? Anything you need?"
"No... just excited to see my cousin" she fakes a smile
"She will be here soon enough, young alpha." Brian states.
He used my title as a form of respect, but soon.. I will be the lowest ranking of the pack. Needing to gain respect or fight for it on the training ground.
I get the key from under the Mat and unlock the door, my mark burning with anger and disapproval from my mate. I slowly close the door behind us as I'm pinned against the door.
"Why are we really here, Cass."
He used my nickname, he new I couldn't tell a lie when he used my nickname, dang it!
"I.." I stammer not knowing what to say, I refuse to let him believe its his fault.
"Don't lie to me, mate"
"My father is kicking me out of the pack" I state, wasn't completely a lie…just not the complete truth.
"what!? Why!?" he retorts
Shit.. guess I didn't think that he would ask why huh..
"His reason is nonsense, I refused to Even listen to his reasoning. I need a new pack and as my mate I assumed you would want to join me." I did refuse to listen to my father, once he said that I needed to reject my mate I couldn't hear anything but my blood boiling.
"Babe.. of course, I'd follow you to the ends of the earth, you know that." His voice gentle and sweet.
"Come, lets go shower and take a nap. We have the Alpha meeting in a few hours" She kisses his cheek sneaking past him
*4:30 p.m. alarm*
She groans, it felt like it was 2 seconds ago that she closed her eyes. She nudges Josiah awake as she gets up to go use the bathroom.
"wake up.." she murmurs as she closes the bathroom door.
He groans rolling up into a ball not wanting to get out from under the covers. She washes her hands and walks back in the bedroom, she see's him peacefully sleeping.
"my mate.." her wolf Trixie purrs
"our mate" Cassie corrects
Trixie rolls her eyes, then forces control yanking the blankets off her nearly nude mate.
Then they start doing the deed and get caught by the Beta and blah blah blah, not something I really want to think about my parents doing. Yuck… I've heard the story way too many times from my mother.
