Beta Mates

Chapter 23

Entering the hall, I walk in from the front entrance, immediately met with the faces of all the people attending. Like expected, it was filled with mostly girls who were all dressed up with welcoming smiles on their faces. I walk through the path they create, making my way to the stage calmly, my eyes catching Isabel and Uncle Jack who were in the front row along with Mickey who gives me two thumbs up. I smile down at them as they smile at me encouragingly.

My eyes catch Emitt who enters lastly right when they closed the doors, his eyes red and puffy, he cried again. I wanted to go hug him but I restrain myself as an elder walks on stage, Emitt walked forward a bit yet staying in the back area of the crowd. My eyes reluctantly drift away from him when the elder stands in front of me.

"We are gathered here today to witness The Awakening of our very own Beta, Beckett Stone. We wish you happiness and success with your mate." The man says making everyone's smiles grow wider, well everyone but a certain five two male I'm sure.

It was a simple process. They opened the roof, sunlight shined down on you and when you opened your eyes you'd be able to see your mate. I found it foolish in a sense seeing as we worshiped a Moon Goddess, but who was I to question tradition.

I take a deep breath, kneeling as they open the sunroof, I stared straight into it instead of closing my eyes as I soaked in the sunlight. Staring straight at the ceiling I make one last plead to The Moon Goddess.

I have never asked you for anything. Never. When my parents started denying me, when Julian resisted being my friend in the beginning, when I was twelve and couldn't access my wolf like everyone else, when I was so lonely I thought about death. Not once did I ask you for help. But I'm asking you now. I'm in love with that boy and my life won't be the same if he's not in it every step of the way, so please......please, make him my mate.

Make Emitt Smith my mate.

I open my eyes when the sun fades away from me and the roof closes. I immediately stand to my feet as the elders move from in front of the stage allowing me to see everyone. Many were staring up at me with hopeful eyes but I was only looking for one person who I'd lost in the crowd.

I could smell them. My mate was in this room.

Strawberries and Raspberries.
Just like Emitt.

This makes my heart beat faster with hope as I search the crowd desperately for him, though the girls who were pushing themselves forward in case I couldn't see them just made it harder.

"Sometimes we don't find them on the first day." An elder says drawing my eyes to his, I'm about to respond when I hear the doors opening. My head immediately snaps towards the source, catching a glimpse of the top of Emitt's dark hair as he left the building.

Mate! - Tobias howls in excitement at the disappearing view of our mate.

I almost scream out in joy as I try to register the information while Tobias pranced around joyfully in my mind, cheering ecstatically that he never doubted it. My legs move without my permission as I follow my mate's scent, Emitt's scent.

Emitt Smith is my mate. Emitt is my fucking mate!

I leave the hall ignore the calls of my uncle with only one person in mind, I had to find him. I follow his scent that was so much stronger now, sweeter, it made me want to bathe in it. I run towards him, he ran out of there probably thinking the worst.

I take a sharp turn that lead deep into the woods, he probably shifted. Shifting without a second thought, I let Tobias lead me as we followed his scent desperately, running faster than ever before crossing pack lands somehow. His scent grew stronger, we were getting closer. I shift back when my eyes catch him on a small cliff top that overlooked the extensive woodlands. As I  ran towards him, my heart thumped so hard I thought I'd break my rib cage, he senses me coming as he turns around, when his eyes catch mine my heart immediately freezes, caught by his powerful gaze.

Was Emitt always this beautiful?
Looking at him now I couldn't believe he was my mate, he was gorgeous. Bright green eyes that paralyzed me with beautiful smooth skin I'd worship with kisses tonight and a small frame that I'd memorize. His teary eyes make me snap out of my daze as Tobias howls in pain at the sight of him crying, I hated to see him cry before but now, it felt like my heart was being torn out. I detested it.

"S-sorry I ran like that." He stutters wiping his tears away, his voice sending a shiver down my spine, it was so smooth and alluring I wanted to listen to him all day. "Did you f-find her? Let me w-wash up and I'll c-come say hi. I j-just need a f-few minutes."

Of course he thought that, he couldn't feel it. He couldn't feel the pull like I could, the one that was making me wake towards him, picking up speed which each step.

He looks up at me with worried eyes before I pick him up crashing my lips straight into his. The feeling of his soft lips against my own sending electricity throughout my body as I moaned into his lips. He doesn't kiss me back but I kiss him anyway, giving him everything I had, letting my lips move against him as the taste of him sent shivers down my back. I pull back only when I run out of breath, resting him on his feet but keep him in my arms as he looks up at me in utter shock, his face seemingly frozen.

"Didn't I tell you to have more faith," I say pushing the hair out of his face, "mate?"

The word seems to break through to him as his eyes fill with tears like they seemed to be doing so much lately. He jumps into my arms, kissing me with tears streaming down his face as I held him tightly, my arms wrapped around his waist as he folded his legs behind him. I spin him around a smile lacing my lips as we kissed passionately, our emotions getting the best of us as the exhilarating joy took over us completely. I come to a stop as he slides down to his feet, I keep kissing him pressing forward, making him lean back but I support him from falling as he kept my lips attached to his. We straighten up before parting sadly, he sobs with teary cheeks though a large smile was plastered on his face as he laughed beautifully, the sound making me ten times happier.

"I love you." He sobs resting his forehead against my own as he continued to cry, though I knew they were happy tears. I'd heard the words many times before but now it made me feel so complete, he accepted me and I swear it made Tobias cry though he faded away before I could confirm it. "I love you, I love you. I love you so much."

"I love you too donut." I say quickly, coming out automatic without a second thought as I pressed a quick kiss to his lips. "Now let's go."

"Where?" He questions in confusion as I pull at his arm.

"Home. We're going to complete the mating process." I say looking back at him quickly to make sure I didn't scare him, instead of finding eyes filled with worry at the thought of having sex, I find joyful ones as he runs in front of me, dragging me now.

"Finally!"

------------

I LOVE THEM!
HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKK
Finally, am I right?

Thoughts????
