Alpha Mason

Chapter 9

I woke up to my alarm letting me know it was time for me to get up and get ready for my morning duties. I quickly got dressed and headed out to the barn and as soon as I walked in I was blown away. Everyone was doing their jobs perfectly Rebecca was standing around watching everyone do their jobs. "Wow, this is amazing" I said as I approached Rebecca "It really is, you're such a great leader Ms. Elizabeth" she said with a warm smile. "I am an Alpha's daughter" I said nudging her side "A natural born leader, that's something to be proud of" she said as she giggled.

"What is your status?" I asked looking at her seriously "I'm Beta Michael's daughter" she said as she turned her head away from me. Beta Michael passed away three years ago and the Gamma Brian stepped into his place. "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean anything by it I just wanted to know" I said as I lowered my head down to my feet. "It's okay, I know you meant well, I just miss him so much" she said wiping the tears off of her face. "He would be so proud of you especially watching you stand side by side with Alpha Ross' daughter leading something even as simple as barn duties" I said as I rubbed her back.

"Thank you it really means a lot" she said as she hugged me tightly. "Alright love, enough with the heavy I'm headed off to work keep up the good work" I said as I squeezed her one last time. "See you later sweetheart" I said waving goodbye to Rebecca as everyone continued their jobs flawlessly. "Goodbye everyone" I yelled over their chatter and waved goodbye "Goodbye Ms. Elizabeth" everyone yelled in response as I took off running towards the house.

Once I made it to my suite I fed Roxy and got dressed for work as she ate her food. I grabbed her harness and leash to take her for a quick run and potty break. After we finished our small little run and made it back to the suite I gave Roxy her toy and grabbed my stuff to head to work. I made it all the way to my truck before I heard a sound that sent a chill down my spine. I looked to see what it was and I saw a familiar murdered out dodge followed by 5 SUV's. I smiled as Mason pulled his truck up in the drive way and parked right behind my fathers truck.

I watched as his truck door opened and he slowly climbed out the same emotionless expression on his face that I had grown to love. His strong features made him look flawless it was almost breath taking as I took in his appearance. He had on a teal PBR pearl snap shirt securely tucked into his blue jeans with a Rhine stone belt holding his pants on his waist. He had a hunters knife tucked safely away in a knife holster hooked onto his belt and his black boots shined under the sunlight. I watched almost in slow motion as he reached his hand back into his truck and grabbed out a black felt Rodeo King cowboy hat. I watched as his arm muscles flexed as he securely placed the hat on top of his perfectly combed brown hair.

I felt saliva pool in my mouth as I watched this handsome man slowly walk to the other side of his truck. What I saw next made my heart sink, he opened the door and out popped a brunette female. I watched as tears filled my eyes at the sight of her sliding securely under his arm. I quickly swiped my tears away my chest burning with hatred for that female. I just backed my truck out and began my long journey to work. I threw myself into work and tackled all of the stacks of documents and I wasn't gonna stop until my boss told me to leave.

After work was over I went home and I was hoping not to see Mason I don't want to see him and that little bitch ever again. I thought to myself as I parked my truck and took off up the stairs to my suite and changed into my clothes for the barn and headed straight for the barn keeping my head down. Once I made it to the barn I decided to throw myself into helping everyone do their chores. I started by helping the muckers clean out all of the stalls and then went on to washing the horses and help turn them out. Once every horse was taken care of I sent everyone away for the day while I swept the walkway of the barn.

After the walkway was clear I saddled up my horse Pistolet and went for a ride. As I rode down the old gravel road the fresh air making all my worries slip away. I rode for about an hour and a half before I finally decided to go back to the barn. I took all of the tack off of Pistolet and laid them down on the saddle stand. I took her out back to the washing station and gave her a quick bath to get rid of all of the dirt and sweat from our ride. After she was cleaned I quickly dried her off and began brushing her whole body. As I brushed her coat she kept nudging my leg and nipping at my boots I giggled as she nipped at my side.
