CHAPTER 3.
*Jakes Pov*
I’m livid that this clown thinks he can come into my school, let alone my pack, and speak to anyone this way!
Apologize to Maddy!
I will not repeat myself Larsen! Forgive me Sir it will not happen again.. Wrong answer. The moment the teacher yelled at Maddy, I mind linked my dad’s beta. I could smell young beta Allred’s father coming down the hall. The door bursts open and in a flash, beta Cris is growling in Larsen’s face.
You dare disrespect the future alpha’s girlfriend!
Larsen’s eyes grow wide. No, Beta Cris, I wasn’t aware of who they are! Please don’t punish me!
It’s your call, young Alpha?
Take him to the pack house to my father. Beta Cris, please find out what pack he is from and have his Alpha meet us at the pack house.
Allred, please mind link the Vice principal. See that she finds another faculty member to finish teaching this class.
I step back over to my desk where I left Maddy sitting.. hey baby, you ok? With her lovely smile she answers yes. Sorry, this will get it handled soon. Grasping Maddy’s chin, I lift her face towards mine and give her a soft kiss. I never get tired of kissing her.
They have brought us up to believe that no love is stronger than our mates. I can’t shake the feeling that when the time comes, “I’ll choose Maddy over my fated mate.” I’ve loved no one more than her, so much that it leaves me speechless.
Her beauty is endless, so fucking beautiful. Her beauty is like the sunset. “Breathtaking.”
She can make any man weak in the knees.
We were walking back to the pack house when Maddy and I heard a deafening growl. We ran towards the sound!
Right in front of the pack house steps stood Alpha Alonzo Emmett and his son, Young Alpha Ryan Amory Emmett, who prefers to go by Emmett. Alpha Alonzo is from the Dark Sky’s pack, an hour away from here.
Both father and son have a well-known reputation for being ruthless. Perfect example is now, Emmett has just slashed his claws across Mr. Larsen’s face. Larsens on his knees screaming in pain.
I walk up to Young Alpha Emmett. A slight harsh, don’t you think?
He turns to glance at me but freezes when he sees Maddy standing right in front of me, she's leaning against my chest with my arms wrapped around her small waist. His eyes turn dark and the sexual tension built up fast.
This guy must have a death wish, lusting after my girl. I let out a feral growl and everyone coward back except Emmett.
Maddy has no fear with me, so she just settled in my hold, smiling. You better check yourself, young Alpha Emmett!
Young Alpha Jake, am I correct? “Care to share this fine beauty?
Before I can react to this asshole, Maddy beat me to it.
She pushes off my chest and goes flying in the air, grabbing Emmett by his neck and slams his body on the ground. There was a loud crack. Yup, “she broke something!” That’s my girl, the strongest female worrier we have.
The painful look on his face is priceless.
CHAPTER 4. *Emmett’s Pov* Dad sent me a mind link while I was in class. I got up and walked out. I’m the eldest and next Alpha in line of the Dark sky’s pack. Dad likes to include me in pack matter’s and today is one of those days. I knock on the door to dad’s office. Come in, Ryan. Dad, we’ve had this discussion. I prefer going by Emmett. Well, son, I prefer to call you by your first name. you know, the one that is printed nicely on your birth certificate next to my signature. Now sit down Ryan Amory Emmett. Ya, whatever Pops. What is going on? Why did you call me here? Son, we need to head out to the Grey Wolves’ pack. One of our omega teacher’s had been substituting for one of their teacher’s and he yelled at a higher-ranking student, “Twice.” From my understanding, a minor altercation took place. You’re saying I gotta miss class for this omega bullshit? Damn right, you do boy, this will soon be your duty alone once you take over the pack! Fine, but it’s a fucking inconve
CHAPTER 5. *Maddy’s Pov* “Disrespect, my boyfriend or I again, Ryan Amory Emmett and I’ll break more than a couple of ribs!” As a future alpha from a neighboring pack, bear yourself with more class and self respect! Instead of making a joke of yourself and your father as well. “You should hold pride in who you claim to represent.” Open disrespect has no honor “Young Emmett.” I look up and I see satisfaction in Alpha Blake’s and Jake’s eyes, and embarrassment in Alpha Alonzo’s. Emmett hasn’t even moved an inch. He’s just staring at me.. “Creep.” My love, can we please take care of the matter already? The one that took place in homeroom today that involved Mr. Larsen here? “Yes, beautiful.” Dad, have you and Alonzo decided on a solution for the substitute’s actions? Yes Jake, we agreed on suspending his teaching license temporarily until he learns his place as a teaching omega. He’s also not welcome back in this pack for the rest of the year. Great! Let’s wrap this up. We’ve wa
CHAPTER 6. *Emmett’s Pov* After leaving dad’s office, I went to look for Lana. Maybe when I see her, I can forget that girl from the neighboring pack. I can’t explain it, but I’m drawn to her, and seeing her content in another Alpha’s arms bothers me. The way Jake was holding her spoke volumes. It’s like he knows no matter what happens, fated mate or not.. “she is his.” I found Lana out on the field with the rest of the cheerleading team. She runs up to me and I catch her in my arms. “Hey baby.” Emmett! I’ve missed you all day. Where have you been? Hearing her call me by my last name reminded me of how Jake’s girl knew my first name and called me by it. “I liked it.” Goddess, she’s stunning. “Emmett.” Where’s your head at? Don’t you hear me talking to you? Sorry babe, I was lost in my thoughts. What’s on your mind, that you tuned out my voice? Just the pack matters I had to assist my pops with. Oh, “I’m sorry Emmett.” I grab her face and look into her blue eyes, expecting to
CHAPTER 7. Jake’s Pov. Standing outside the school waiting for Maddy. “Its getting chilly out.” There’s this feeling that there is more to Alpha Emmett and Maddy. The urge to stake my claim is strong. I’ve got to get her to agree to be my chosen mate when she turns nineteen." I have no interest in finding my fated mate. My whole life I wanted Maddy. “She’s perfect, and she’ll be an incredible mother to our pups.” Maddy’s arms hug me from behind. Turning around, I ask.. Are you ready for our walk? Maddy smirks and grabs my hand, leading the way to the pack house’s garden. Now that we’re done feeding the Koi fish, let’s have that talk, babe. Come have a seat with me.. “Please.” Looking at me with wonder in her eyes, she sits on my lap. What is it, Jake? Maddy, we need to talk.. About our future. Okay, shoot, what’s on your mind, handsome? Look Maddy, I’ve been thinking about this a lot and my whole heart is with you. I’ve never in my life wanted someone more than I want you,
CHAPTER 8. *Maddy’s Pov* Again, I’m here, sitting on Jake’s lap. “He’s lost his mind.” Jake thinks we should choose each other instead of our own fated mates! Jake, you need to promise me… promise me you’ll give your mate a real chance. You can’t just see her and turn around and walk away without knowing her heart.. “I promise,” Maddy, I’ll do whatever it takes to make you happy! Ok calm down, no need to yell Jake. I’m still sitting on you." Let me love you Maddy, the way that I do best." Jake gives me soft kisses on my neck and then he grabs my ass and lifts me." I wrap my legs around his waist while he stands and walks us into the autumn forest trees. The surrounding view is breathtaking, with the green leaves that have turned color. Shades of yellow, orange, and the reds as well." Jake pushes me against a Dawn Redwood tree. “Though they are more common in the bay area, the pack territory has been surrounded by them ever since Alpha Blake had them planted years ago.. Jak
CHAPTER 9. *Emmett’s Pov* I slowed down and tiptoed through the bushes. Then I see them, “Jake and her.” I drop to my knees, making sure I’m out of sight! My eyes never leaving them.. “Never leaving her.” Jake has her up against a tree! Before I know it, they are making love right before my eyes. I resist the impulse to growl! My chest is constraining and “I’m filled with enough rage to start a war.” Fuck, why am I feeling this? She isn’t my mate.. Right?" I’m taken by surprise when I see her take control out of what looks to be annoyance. I don’t blame her… He was fucking her like an old man.. Slow." We are werewolves, made to be a beast in bed.. Maybe he just likes to take his time? I wanted to rip his head off." Trying to calm myself, I lit a smoke.. As heated as I am at what I’m seeing, I’m stunned by her performance. She’d be perfect for me.. “I want her.” “She requires a long hot bath before I taste her, though.” There’s no way I’m having her while she still reeks
CHAPTER 10. *Maddy’s Pov* Jake just dropped me at home, and I’m walking into the kitchen in search of some delicious food. Since I had to work things out with Jake, I didn’t have dinner. I’m so hungry, I can eat a cow." Seeing a note on the fridge from dad, reading it.. Big guy left me a plate of my favorite home cooked meal.. Lasagna. Mmm." Smells so good. I’ve been craving a Caesar salad all day to as well, so I throw one together real fast. Now my dinner is complete. I set my plate on the kitchen table. I was about to sit down when I realize I forgot to pour myself a cold glass of peach green tea." After getting my tea and sitting down, I hear someone coming down the stairs.. “Hey pumpkin, how was your day? Aside from knocking Dark Sky’s next Alpha on his ass.” I laugh. You heard about that, huh? Dad grins. Maddy, I’m sure the whole pack knows about it by now. “Haha, well, just my luck.” I don’t need anymore attention drawn to myself. I get enough of that unwanted attention
CHAPTER 11. *Jake’s Pov* It’s been a month since the fiasco with Emmett.. It would be an understatement to say that the guy hasn’t made me feel insecurities I never knew existed. I’m worried. I keep thinking that he will come back so he can see Maddy." I still can’t believe I made such a big promise to Maddy. Fuck, I regret telling her I will give my fated mate a chance! There’s no way my fated mate can replace what I have with her. What if my fated is ugly? What if she’s fat! The Moon Goddess better not have mated me to a fuckin’ hippo! Maybe I shouldn’t be shallow as fuck, but hey I like what I like and fat girls aren’t it. Mom’s been going all out planning Maddy’s birthday party. Even though our birthdays are just a week apart, I told Mom I want a small, intimate dinner. Just my girl and her family. Maddy’s the youngest of four kids. Two of her brothers are in college, and her eldest brother is married to his fated mate. Justin stayed in her pack. Lucky guy gets to live
