The Mate Bond

-   Bensons POV

  “Alright everyone i want you to pair off and not with the same person as yesterday, remember the stances you were shown and use them”I roared at the pack members that were scheduled to train today.

  Our training sessions were split into different age groups making it easier for us to train everyone. Training started the morning after a pups sixteenth birthday as this is when the moon goddess blessed us with a wolf counterpart, we could tap into our wolves senses when we needed to increasing our hearing, speed and strength. We would train in human form to begin with then learning to train in wolf form once we had mastered the moves and techniques. This way had proven to be the best and had been done ever since Jakes dad John was alpha.

  Ranked members of the pack however were stronger then the other pack members. I myself am a beta and could beat the wolves training today with my eyes closed. As the pairs switched positions from attack to defense and vice versa Crystal arrived an hour late... again.

  

“CRYSTAL" I shouted in my beta voice causing her to freeze in her tracks.

  "Would you mind enlightening us as too why you feel it’s ok to turn up when and as you please?”

  “I was in bed with my boyfriend having the time of my life” she answered back in her annoyingly squeaky voice.

  “And who May that be Crystal because I’d sure like to remind them it’s NOT OK for you to miss mandatory training” I shouted at her.

  As I turned my back on her and headed to the front of the room Jake entered to oversee how things were going. Jakes alpha aura made all of the members training stiffen as they could feel the power rolling off him.

  “Hey baby”

  A shriek came from behind me but before I could turn to see who it came from Crystal appeared and threw herself at Jake.

  “Desperate much, this ought to be good” my wolf Rocky chuckled

  Jake just looked at her with pure disgust grabbing her by the wrist and slamming her into the wall with such a force that I swear it had cracked. Had Crystal been human she would definitely have broken some bones.

  “Let me say this clearly so that you can understand, listen carefully because I'm only going to say this once. I’M NOT YOUR F**KING BABY, your just some sl*t that was available when I needed to de-stress, you will show me some fucking respect”

  “I’m not a sl*t!! The only person I want is you can’t you see that”

  “well I don’t want you so leave me the f*ck alone”. Jake shoved her back against the wall and stomped off.

  “Well seems as if he’s in a mood again today good luck”. Rocky was a sarcastic wolf and one day I’m sure he would be the death of me.

  

  -  Jakes POV

  After Crystal tried to put a claim on me I lost it I didn’t want her or anyone putting a claim on me.

  “What about when we find our mate? I won’t allow you to reject her we need her and so does this pack. We both have our roles. You know this we learned it during your alpha training”. Great now Hunters on my case.

  “we don’t need a mate, you know Lunas are often targeted in order to weaken us. Don’t you remember what happened to the royal pack?”

  “Of course I remember all wolves felt the loss.”

  “There you go then, loosing his Luna made the alpha king weak and look what happened to him. The strongest wolf to exist and the loss helped destroy him. Now the royal pack is run by an ex Beta who calls himself king with a bunch of good for nothing rogues taking titles of ranked members and no one knows what happened to the Princess, she’s been missing for 16 or something years if I remember rightly” I explained to my wolf.

  Hunter finally went quiet which was good as now I had a f**king headache. I was about to go for a run to the waterfall, the only place that ever made me feel peaceful when there was a knock at my office door.

  “Come in”

  “Jake what the f*ck was that all about with Crystal earlier. I know she can be annoying but damn, chucking her into a wall. Not cool man”

  I chuckled to myself knowing I already knew what he would say.

  “Ah man, I’m soo irritable all the time lately don’t forget f**king horny. If this is how a she-wolf feels in heat then I don't know how they do it”

  “HAHAHA you already know what I’m going to tell you. It’s because your going to meet your mate and I'm guessing it will be soon.”

  “Don’t start this again Benson” I groaned not wanting to have this conversation again.

  “Come on man! You know what I was like before I met Alice and as soon as we finished the mating process it stopped”

  “yeah yeah, well if I do find my mate it’s not going to change anything. You know how I feel about having one”

  “Yeah I do but believe me Jake when you do find the poor woman fated to you, ya won’t be able to resist the mate bond. Especially since your an alpha, I'm going to bet the pull of the bond will be that much stronger and you know it”

  “Oi! what do you mean ‘poor woman' anyone would be lucky to have me”

  “Anyone mated to you is going to need all the luck the moon goddess can give her “ I said trying my best not to laugh as I left Jakes office.

  

  -   Alice’s POV

  “What do you mean he’s going to try and resist the pull of the mate bond?” I’m really confused as to how anyone would want to live without their mate. Your mate was a part of you, a part that we needed. They made us feel completed, special and they loved us unconditionally.

  “Ah you know what Jake is like, he doesn’t want to be seen as weak and he thinks that having a mate will make him that way”

  “How could having his mate, his Luna by his side possibly make him weak?”

  “Alice I’ve tried to tell him but he just uses what happens with the royal pack all them years ago as an excuse”

  “Well I don’t think we need to worry, we both know how strong the pull of the mate bond is, look what happened to us. The moment I walked into the training hall you floored me trying to mark me there and then”

  “Yes we do and yes I did” Benson replied, lust evident in his voice.

I chuckled as Benson nuzzled into my neck kissing the spot that carried his mark. I looked up at him a blush creeping onto my face. I loved this man more than anything and I’m soo happy the moon goddess has mated me too him. Standing up off our bed I grabbed Bensons hand leading him to the bathroom.

  “What are you doing”

  I ignored him turning the bath on while adding some of my favorite bubble bath. It smelt like a Pina colada, a mixture of coconut and coco butter. I turned to face Benson a smirk on my face while extending the claws on my hand ripping away his vest.

  “You stink” I winked at him and he just gave me a playful growl ripping my own clothes from my body.

  “Ahh Benson that was new” I scoffed while playfully hitting his shoulder.

  “It looks better on the floor but don't worry I suppose I could take you shopping and get you a new one” With that his soft plump lips attacked my own. Sparks flew all over my skin igniting the burning hunger i had for my mate.
