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 wasted enough time on nonsense.
“Jake.”
Yes, my love?
It’s lunch time we need to head back to the school.
Miss?
Yes, Alpha Alonzo?
I’m aware of my pack’s ruthless reputation. I apologize for my son’s mouth and may I express that the “wisdom you carry yourself with is a sight to see.”
“Apology excepted Alpha.” We walk back towards the school after I grasp Jake’s hand. After Jake and I got back to school, we headed straight to the cafeteria. We spot Allred and Leah already waiting for us at our usual table. My stomach growled, causing us both to laugh.
“Aww.” Is my little tiger hungry?
Jake." Stop teasing and feed me.. Jake reaches for my hand and pulls me to him. I’m sitting on his lap while he feeds me grapes.
Allred looks at us with a goofy smirk “So.” Lovebird’s we heard Maddy beat some guy’s ass today. Care to explain? Yes! like Allred said.. juicy details now please!
“I laugh at Leah's eagerness.” Jake and I went back to the pack house to deal with the omega teacher, Mr. Larsen. By the time we got there, Alpha Alonzo from the Dark Sky’s pack and his son Young alpha Emmett were already handling him.
“To cut the story short,” Emmett disrespected our relationship so.. So. Maddy tossed him like a rag doll and “broke a couple of his ribs.”
It was no big deal, besides I’m sure he let me kick his ass. “He is an Alpha, after all.”
Maddy, have you decided what you’re doing for your birthday? No. Leah, I can’t seem to decide. It’s the day before the mating ball. Luna Mae thinks it would be a good idea to invite the neighboring packs since they plan on being here for the mating ball, anyway.
Luna’s right, it would be fun and it will help with the alliance’s we have with all the neighboring packs.
I guess I should let Luna Mae know sooner than later than.” You don’t have to go to her office, just mind link her. What do you think, Jake? Sounds like a plan.
How about an enormous bonfire and roast a few porkies with all the good sides like mac n cheese, potato salad, fruit salad... haha ok we get it, babe! “Oh, that’s the bell. Lunch is over.” See you guys later.
Jake and I are walking hand in hand to our next class, so" Maddy, do you think we can talk after school? It’s important. We can take a walk by the pond in the garden. And we can feed the koi fish while we’re there..
I’m sitting in my last class of the day. I wonder what Jake wants to talk about? Could it be about what happened with young Alpha Ryan Emmett?" I wonder if he could tell that for a brief second he took my breath away. I did my best to cover it up with anger that I rarely have. It caught me off guard.
I only had eyes for Jake..
Until today, that is. “Could he be my mate?” I know some wolves can sense their mate even before they come of age. The bell rings and I get up from my seat.. Jakes lap. Babe, I’ll meet you in front of the school. I need to use the girls’ restroom first “k.”
Sure Maddy.” Jake answers while kissing my forehead. The girls’ restroom is empty and for that, I’m grateful. Count on me to have been holding my pee all afternoon.” I giggle at myself. I just let out a couple of farts!” Haha, I wonder if my mate farts in public or if he prefers to do it like me.
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
CHAPTER 12. *Emmett’s Pov* I’ve been keeping tabs on Maddy through her social media account and through Jake’s. They spend a lot of time together and look close. Ever since I’ve found out my nympho’s name, I say it out loud as much as I can when I’m alone." Maddy Roe Shaw." I fucking love her name. It fits her." A week ago, dad received an invitation to Maddy’s birthday party. I can’t wait to go, though I’m taking Lana with me, of course." Sad to say, Lana has had to go into surgery three times since the first time I ripped her asshole apart during sex. Fuck, I can’t help it though when I’m with her. I get worked up when I think of Maddy. So much that I can’t stop myself from taking her like a madman. I’m laying in bed trying to sleep but I’m restless.. I want to see Maddy, but I don’t think I have the patience to wait any longer. Screw it! I’m not waiting until her birthday to see my nympho! “I’m going to see her tonight.” I got up and left.. I am almost out of the pack
CHAPTER 13. *Maddy’s Pov* I’ve been doing my best to be myself with Jake, but everything has been off ever since I locked eyes with Alpha Emmett. Let’s just say Ryan Emmett has completely invaded my heart. I can’t believe I’m focused on a man I only saw once. And it’s not like we had a proper introduction, either. Ever since the conversation I had with my dad a few weeks ago, I’ve been doing research on Fated mates. And surprisingly, it’s common to sense your mate a couple of months near the full moon shift. If Jake knows it, he’s not showing that he does. I spent the day at the pack house, hanging out with Jake and his siblings. Jake is the oldest of five kids. He has three sisters and one brother. Jake’s brother is his twin but was born seventeen minutes after Jake." Eddie was born def, so his family thought it was best to leave the Alpha position to Jake alone. Eddie is amazing. He can speak English just like everyone else. That’s because he’s able to mind link, so it was easy
