CURTIS POV
I took a long look at myself in the mirror before leaving the hotel room. I met up with the guys, Mike, Jobe, and Cody in the ball room. This was a large rectangular spacious room 166 by 100 feet with a wide opening that lead to the pool outdoors.
It was surrounded by elongated glass windows and several crystal chandeliers that decorated the 25 foot ceiling with star shaped lights. The theme color was white and gold in drapes and silver tapestry.
I shouldn’t have been here in the first place but my dad never gave me a chance to avoid it. Sianna was a beautiful girl and I have loved her all my life. I’ve had a crush on her since middle school and never got the courage to approach her until high school. I was so shocked when she agreed to go on a date with me. I vowed to cherish her forever.
I was lucky to have her because she was caring, kind and sweet. She was passionate about helping others too and I loved seeing her in her element when she assisted her mom at the clinic and hospital. I knew that she was missing me and I missed her warmth, her scent and her presence.
I have been away for months at other packs with the Gamma and his deputy to assist with training up their warriors. Each candidate for the elite position went through training and then had to assist the Gamma in his duties to showcase our skills and competencies.
Task were assigned and failure wasn’t an option. We had to be quick thinking and girded with problem-solving skills. We represented the Alpha of Alphas or High Alpha as some call him, and we were a proud species of werewolf.
I was in the top ten of the candidates that showed strong potential of being successful in joining the elites. Sianna supported my dreams and believed in me. She lifted my spirits whenever I was down or in doubt. She’s the woman I wanted to come home to at the end of the day.
I had been looking into some real estate lately. I wanted to get us an apartment or house for ourselves soon. My parents wanted me to follow in my father’s footstep of being an engineer but I loved fighting for the people that I loved. My grandma was killed by rogues and I wanted to be the best so that I could keep threats out of our living environment.
Protecting my family was a priority. Rogues have killed too many especially during the great war. So here I was pouring myself a glass of punch as the guys talked on. I thought I spotted Hailey at one time but I tried to hide just in case it was really her. I am not in the mood to deal with her talkative personality. Plus, she’d be forcing me into activities that I was not down for.
Knowing her, she’d have gained some new friends already. Besides, if she knew that I was here she would tell Sianna, and then I would be bombarded with too many questions. I didn’t want Sianna to doubt my love for her but I was in a tight spot. I was handling my dad and this would be over as soon as the days went by. I couldn’t have her mad at me. I was under enough pressure as it was.
“These girls are sizzling!” exclaimed Cody. He was the nerd of the group and apparently very shy to approach anyone despite his outburst.
“We’d better start mingling,” eagerly Mike approached a girl as he dragged along his best friend Jobe with him. I stayed put with Cody.
My life was on the right path. As an elite, the alpha assesses our training once per week. The warriors aid the elites, and the elites support the Gamma. Elites eventual get their team of warrior but we all operate on the schedule and assignments as appointed by the Gamma, who was still unmated and isn’t even here.
I didn’t care to meet my mate because I had my girlfriend at home. We agreed to reject our mates but the problem was if I met her tonight there would be a record done and submitted to the Alphas of the packs where each person was from.
The Alpha knew many of the pack members personally through our bond to him and when they are tasked with certain functions within the pack. In a whim of a moment, when he looks into your eyes, his wolf can know most things about you.
They have a way of recording everything about a wolf for individual filing within the packs. For example, my dad was the packs engineer to design, build, and maintain various complex systems and structures, from buildings to software. He had his own team to carry out his work which also stemmed to several other states.
My mom, Helena was a social worker who helped new comers to settle and ensured that the children and omegas were not being abuse or maltreated. She was on the Rogue Integration System committee.
My parents loved Sianna but they hated the concept of a chosen mate. Mom said that was for people whose mates had died or who had gotten rejected. I was not the in any of those category. Dad gave me the ultimatum to hunt for my mate and so I had to attend this damn mating ceremony.
He said he would support my relationship with Sianna only if I could not find my mate here tonight. The thought of discord between me and my parents was heartrending to me so I complied. I kept Sianna ignorant of this because it would be added strain to our relationship when I knew that she chose to study online from home so that we could be closer to each other.
Sianna was so understanding to me being out of the pack because of my objectives. I can’t have her doubting me or else our relationship will be on the line. She was my world and I am impatient to have her as my wife and as my marked mate.
“Hey man,” Cody slapped my arm to get my attention. “I am going to take a walk through the crowd just to see if I can locate my mate or not. I think it’s what we should do.”
I nodded as I took another sip of my fruit punch. I think this needed more alcohol as werewolves don’t get drunk easily. Through the sea of people I could see that several wolves had found there mates by the make out sessions that was before me. I sighed at the thought.
Wolves were here of every rank and status and I seriously didn’t need this shit. I moved to the column in the left end of the room and place my empty glass on the tray there. I took one last look around and then a pair of hazel eyes caught me and my breath hitched.
Her eyes were the most captivating and I wondered why I was so fascinated by her. She began walking towards me as I froze. Her scent of pine and cherry toggled at my nose and I stood entranced in everything about her. Everyone else had disappeared as if it were only me and her in the room. The way her red hair bounced on her shoulders as she walked slowly through the crowd as her hips swayed in that pink dress that perfectly clung to her body.
Transfixed by her lips as they formed into words, “Hello mate.” She held out her hands with the prettiest smile. “The name’s Jazmine Wilson of the Crimson Hide Pack. Nice to meet you.”
With our eyes locked I took her hand in mind and sparks erupted through my entire body like sitting in an electric chair. “I’m Curtis Black of the Dark Wolverson Pack.” Fuck me! I thought to myself. My wolf danced around in my head with its tail wagging in happiness. We stood in a brief moment of silence, looking at each other.
I think Sianna is prettier but this girl had me drowning in the ambience of her presence. She smiled brightly so that her face lightened up into an angelic beauty. This was my gorgeous mate and she licked her lips looking at me.
My wolf tried to force me onto her. “Mine!” he roared out loud.
I fought him back as she replied “Yours.”
The terms "mine" and "yours" have great meanings in the werewolf kingdom, denoting that one is the other's mate, bonded by the moon Goddess.
The sound of a throat clearing made me whip my head out of my thoughts. “How about we go somewhere private?”
“Sure.” I knew I had to reject her but my wolf was purring and so damn happy to have found her. He was urging me to mark her there but I was fighting very hard.
We walked silently until we were by the beach side standing under a large oak tree draped with Spanish moss. We allowed its shadow to hide our silhouette frames. Before I could say anything else she kissed me softly and I relish in our make out session.
The heat of her mouth was extremely delicious. The fast beating of her heart racing against mine. I wanted more of this as I kept my hands on his waist. She pulled away after a little then said, “I am so happy to finally have my mate.”
Our hands were intertwined and I could see her pearly white teeth through her smile. “How old are you?”
“I just turned twenty two in January.” She replied. “I am still a virgin though. I kept it for my mate. I am yours.”
My wolf paraded in my head like a puppy who was given a new play toy because we would be her first and only man. She was ours and our entitlement. It was as if nothing else in the world existed but us two.
I didn’t know that the mate bond would be this strong and tempting. I wanted to reject her but I couldn’t bring myself to break her heart. Jasmine was irresistible to me. Shit! My dick was hard and my own body was betraying me as I hugged her close to my chest.
“Let’s exchange digits so that we can stay in touch. I have to leave tomorrow.” My heart ached, I didn’t want to be away from her ever.
“Are we saying goodbye so soon? What’s the rush?” Her right hand strayed to feel my hard dick in my pants. “You know that you don’t want to leave me so soon.” She began to rub my member and I groaned at how good it felt. “Your body is telling me that too.” Even as her hands unbuckled my zipper and went into my boxers to caress my shaft up and down. This was too good and she was going to make me orgasm as the sparks percolated.
I felt myself roaming her clothes and pulling up her dress to get into her panty. The scent of her arousal made me want to lick her core but my hands would return the favor right now. I slipped my fingers in her pussy. “Ahh!” she moaned.
Out of the blue I crashed my lips on hers. Her sounds were so sweet to hear. It’s like my body system was activated and without a minute wasted I pushed my tongue into her mouth, fighting for dominance. Our tongues danced in each other’s mouths.
She heist her left leg to rest on my waist so that her core opened up. I pushed her lace thong aside and my fingers entered her wet pussy. She tore her mouth away from mine and buried it into the crook of my neck.
My mind was warning me but my opposing body was telling me to have a one-night stand with her. My wolf supporting the intention to claim her, to take everything that she offered. My fingers now fucking her faster and harder in a lengthy and tortuous manner. My cock aching to replace my fingers and cum inside of her. But I allowed my fingers to continue its job until we both released in ecstasy.
“Curtis,” She moaned.
“Say my name again.” I groaned hoarsely.
When her lips returned to mine, she tugged my lower lip between her teeth roughly. “Mmm.” I winced slightly at the slight pain, but it seemed to make things begin to stir up in my body and my sexual desire increasing.
I kissed her hungrily and desperately. I ripped off her lace thong. They were in the way and I wanted full entry. I removed my fingers from her pussy and she whimpered at the loss of them plundering her core. I slip my cum dripping fingers in my mouth. “Your pussy tastes amazing.”
I rammed my fingers back in and she continues to rub my shaft up and down.” Ohhh…..my goodness!”
“That’s it baby. Make your pussy rain for me.”
“Yes,” she cried out in pleasure. Her moans making my cock harder and I know I am almost there. Screams escaping her mouth as I marvel at how undone she was before me, grinding on my fingers.
“Cum for me……….cum for me, darling” her body reacted as I commanded it, her walls becoming tighter, as the orgasm built for the both of us. With a few more thrust, her juices poured out of her pussy. “Ugh!” She gasped in disbelief and shivered against me as her high came down.
“Baby, that was amazing!” She dropped her head on my shoulders as she came down from her orgasmic high.
I felt guilty but this felt right. My wolf agreed and told me this was where we belonged. But Sianna is the love of my life. Suddenly, I felt disgusted at my behavior. Sianna would be hurt if she knew about this. I just broke the promise to never hurt her. I was at war between my human side and my wolf, a battle that I was not prepared for, being torn between my mate and my girlfriend. How do I undo this shit?!
Hailey’s POV - Saturday I was surprised to see Curtis at the mating ball. “Hey!” I gave him a tap on the shoulders. “Who’s the new friend?” We were at the breakfast buffet filling our plates. I knew I glimpsed him last knew but he slipped out of my view and then I could not locate him through the crowd of werewolves that were present in the ballroom. As soon as I saw him this morning I was busy observing them for a while. He was holding hands with this girl and she was obviously flirting with him a lot. She tried to kiss Curtis on the cheek but he shy away from it. The disappointment heavily laid on her face. The girl touched him in ways that only a lover should so I needed to investigate up front. He was not getting away from me today. My new found mate, Raj was by my side and he didn’t know what was about to go down. Raj nod his head in acknowledgement, so eager to please me. “H-Hailey!” He stuttered in shock as he turned to face me. “Oh, this is Jazmine. We met last night” P
Sianna POV Hailey: Where’s your boy at? Something is up with your boy, Sianna! You might want to call him now. Me: My boy is fine, Hailey. He is on a mission. Hailey: This shit can’t be real. Your mate could be better for you. Me:???? Me: Hailey? What are you ranting about now? Hailey: You might want to consider more options. Protect your heart, Sianna. (heart emoji). Me: Curtis has my heart. He’s my one and only. I know you think I should give my mate a chance but there’s no way that he’s better than Curtis. Hailey: Don’t rush into things. I am looking out for you. Go and see your mate. Me: Hell no! Why are you cheering for my mate all of a sudden? The perplexity of Hailey’s text message racked my brain all morning. She hadn’t replied to my last text. I didn’t call Curtis because he could have been on a mission and unable to take my call anyway. I didn’t want to appear like the insecure girlfriend. I felt confident that our relationship was going well despite the lack of a
Unknown POV Tomorrow was supposed to be my date night with Sianna. I should text her with the time that I would pick her up. Chances are that she would prefer to meet me there but the least she could do was allow me to pamper her a bit. I couldn’t believe that she rejected me. I was flabbergasted when she did that. She’s a feisty little she-wolf. I thought any rejection being done would be from my end and never from my mate. I knew she was with the Curtis dude base on conversations overheard from her parents, but that was before I knew she was my mate. My wolf would not have known that she was ours until she reached eighteen years old and by that time she had graduated and left for college 135 miles ( 3 hour drive) away from the central area (pack house). I was so happy to have found her at TeeBee’s café that day but she was too blinded by the twinkling infatuation that she held for Curtis. Her intoxicating scent of roses and strawberry made my wolf lost all control. When our eyes
Sianna POV Curtis hasn’t spoken to me since our last phone call. Could it be due to his guilty conscience, or maybe he has found his mate? I would have been here thinking that he was on a special assignment or having some family ordeal going on if my dad did not let me know that he attended the mating ceremony. Hailey is very loyal and would spill the beans when she came back. I preferred to see her first before having a confrontation with Curtis. I needed to know the fullness of what she was aware of. Hailey’s morning text read: I wish you were here Sianna (heart emoji). Me: I know that you are having fun regardless of me not being there with you (smiley face emoji). Honey, go find your mate and bring him back with you. Hailey: (crying face emoji) Don’t you miss me, or are you doing naughty things with your mate? Me: Stop! I won’t let him touch me. Go have fun, Hailey. I was laying in the couch in my living room watching the news. My mind distracted by the personal affairs of
Sianna POV The vehicle parked at my home at six pm exactly. This man was a man of time. He was smirking all the way to the rendevous which slightly irritated me as I sat in the passenger seat. We didn’t talk at all and my mind was jammed with thoughts pertaining to how the rest of my evening might turn out. I felt nothing but the pull to be with my mate but I was not in love with him. The energy that coursed through my body because of it was insane. My core burned with a desire for sweet release with every thought of him. I tried to think about the weather, school, Hailey, mom, dad, cows and chickens. At this point anything but my mate. I looked out the window at the lovely tree-lined road as the car continued to drive smoothly. We drove for fifteen minutes when he pulled up in front of an officer tower. Luckily it was closed because I did not wish to be seen like this. I anxiously looked around to vet the area. Thank goddess that it was Sunday. Being alone with the gamma would
Sianna POV I stared blankly at the phone screen. I don’t know how long I froze in space and time. I felt like I couldn’t move as my heart began to fill with the painful stings of disloyalty. I felt air leaving me as if I was passing out but yet I breathed. My deepest fears had come through. Curtis betrayed our love. I should kill him. He met his mate and had been intimate with her. The kiss was on the lips and the picture taken by someone. I scrolled through her photos. His mate was smiling as if she was the happiest person in the world. I rejected my mate for you, Curtis. I never kissed a guy because of my devotion to you, Curtis. I gave you my heart and virginity, Curtis. I silently yelled in my head wanting to smash anything. My heart was shattering and it felt like my safety net was pulled from under my feet. With this new development, I forgot for a split second where I was and who I was with. I haven’t kissed my mate yet. I fought against him wanting to touch me even though
Sianna POV (Monday) The soft silk duvet sheet was cozy against my skin but waking up alone in a strange bedroom felt odd. The room was dark but my wolf‘s vision made it transparent enough for me to see. Little light from the sun streamed through the opening cracks of the drapes at the windows. Evidently, it was morning and the masculine scent of my mate filled the room, enwrapping me in warmth, satiation and security. I laid back on the silk pillow as the sheet caressed my half -naked body, sensual to the touch. I smiled. It was time to get up for work. Attempting to collect myself, I looked around the room trying to find a clock or my phone to get the time. My phone was on the floor, intact but dead. I sighed. The movements and twisting of my body stick me with pain. My pussy felt sore, my legs weak and I was in a large shirt. My neck also pained a little so I touched it. Then the memories of my night slapped me. He marked me. Fuck! I groaned in regret. This was too fast for me
Vance's POV (Monday) Wish that I could stay at home with Sianna for the day but serious matters required my attention. I was in the warehouse that we kept in the bunker with Gamma Blayne and Beta Duke. We were there to go through inventory and get the figures right. Firstly, we took out the records of the microscopic CCVT cameras that we had at designated areas. Only the three of us knew of these special cameras that we implemented as a back up to the visible cameras being sabotaged. I absolutely despised being taken advantage of. Our supplies were stored for the protection of my pack and should there be a need for war. We kept things like wolfsbane, silver, knives, bayonets, small arms, revolvers, pistols, rifles, shotguns, grenades, recoilless rifles, flames throwers, obstacle clearing explosive charges, machine guns, canisters and other items. It went along with my pride of being the most fearsome and resourceful pack in existence. We stocked on various types of weaponry for d
