Fate

Part 5.

The look he gave me I finally recognize. That is the look a wolf gives their mate. He is my mate. Isn't it to early for me to have one? And what about Devore and the pup? My wolf is as confused as I am.

We should take him. He is ours and there are no out of mate pups.

I don't know if I can. Will we be okay? What about mom? As I ask my wolf these questions I feel Anderson get closer.

His wolf is getting impatient I bet. If I look back I see the signs. He was protective. Always wanted me in his scent. He would hunt and provide for me. I was so confused by Devore I didn't realize.

The Goddess is giving me a second chance so early. I don't know if I deserve it. Usually you get a second chance if the Goddess believes you deserve it. They usually lose their first mate around the same time as you.

He lost his mate five years ago. I lost mine five weeks ago. His wolf is now in breathing space. I never shifted back so we are in the same form for the first time. Well since we met.

His wolf scents me, trying to calm down. He circles me and rubs his body on mine. We did just fight off wolves he was worried for my safety. What he doesn't know is I am trained to go to war if I have to.

Are you okay, white one?

I smile in my head. I would now but it looks awkward in wolf form.

Yes.

I feel his eyes on me. He moves to my front and sits down in front of me. He stares me in the eyes.

Good. Are you ready?

I blink in confusion. Ready for what?

To become mine.

I move my head back in shock. I guess he figured out that I know. I want to give him an answer but I feel like it would not be fair to him.

I do the only thing I can think of. I run back to the cave.

I notice as I get closer to the mouth that this was a bad idea. Never run from your alpha mate. They case you. Then catch you.

That's why I am currently under Anderson. His body pressing my own down to the floor of the cave. His jaws around my neck. He is letting out a fierce growl. A warning to never do that again.

I feel his heat on me and my mind gets a little fuzz. My wolf is no help because she is more excited about our positions.

I have to focus so that I don't swipe my bottom against his front. She wants the bond completed and I still want time to think.

Anderson?

His growling slows.

I want to shift. I won't run.

He seems unsure but he slowly lifts off me. I shift when he backs into the corner. I grab the shirt from Violet from under my grass bed. I slip it in and turn to face him.

"Can you shift so we can talk?"

He blinks at me then looks down. Looking for his clothes I'm sure. He has some shorts from earlier they fell off inside. I get up and grab them I turn and toss them at him.

Before I can turn again he shifts. I am stuck staring at this blue eyed handsome devil.

Who just happens to be my mate. My very naked mate.

Anderson

"If you keep staring at me like that, white one. We won't get to talking." I let out with a low growl.

Her head snaps up and she shakes it. I slip on my shorts and sit down in front of her.

"What is it on your mind, mate?" She looks up at me. I see her smile. I love calling her mine but I also would like to start and finish the mating process. Today.

I agree with my wolf. We have waited long enough. I want her in my bed. Filled with our pups.

"Well." She starts out. "Well. I didn't think I would have you so soon."

I sit up a bit. I have a feeling I won't like where this is going.

"I care for you. And I want to...well...you know."

I chuckle at her blush. "Yes I know."

"Well my fated mate...-"

I let out a growl. "What about him?"

"Well we kinda have a situation."

I must look as confused as I feel because she quick clears it up.

"Um well he only did the rejection because of the pup-" I growl fiercely.

"Pup? Where?" I let out.

"He mated with someone the Council sent. She is with pup and I ran from that situation so I wouldn't kill her and well he did said the rejection is only until after the pup is born and well."

I stop growling. Is she rejecting me? What does this mean? "What are you trying to say?"

"I need to go back."

I started to shake. "No. You are mine!"

She puts her hands up. "No no no. Not like that." I tilt my head.

"I need to go back. I left because of the war going on. I was late in my shift. My mother has taken care of the problem and will becoming for me most likely within the week. I was at my fated mate's pack for sanctuary."

I nod. "That I understand. When do you want to leave?"

She looks at me in shock. "You want to come?"

"Yes. I will follow you anywhere." I move close to her and stoke her cheek with the back of my hand.

She blushes and drops her head in embarrassment. "I was going to leave sooner but I was in a tough spot."

She is obviously means me. She was too focus on back home to realize I was her mate sooner.

"I know." I smile at her and grip her chin. "I have to inform my Beta then we can leave, white one." I put my nose in her neck and inhale. I let out a deep growl that sounds more like a purr.

I felt her breath hitch. I hear her heartbeat increase and watch her eyes dilate.

"If you don't calm down now mate I will mark and mate you where you stand." I bring my head up to be face to face with her.

She gasps. "I think I would be fine with that, Alpha."

I smile at her and pull her close. "Good. So would I."
