Alpha's Mate

The sun had long since set, and I had yet to arrive at my destination. I was so tired. So hungry. But I had to keep driving, I couldn't afford to stop and be caught. Not again. I glanced in the mirror to the backseat where my two brothers, Jackson and Jack, were fast asleep. Jackson is my twin brother, while Jack is three. Jackson has short brown hair, which looks nothing like my dark red hair, people often mistake us for a couple instead of siblings. Jack looks like neither of us, with his soft blonde tendrils. They were all I had left, no way was I going to let them suffer.

Finally the camp walls were in view. I let out a sigh as I pulled into the driveway. I stopped at the gate.

Two large men came towards my car. "Can we help you?" they ask.

"We have an appointment with your leader." I said. "I am Morgan Thomas with my brothers, Jackson and Jack."

They nod. "Go to the largest building and knock on the door. Someone will take you to Jace."

"Thank you." I said as the gates opened up. I quickly drove through them and went the direction that they had told me to go. I pulled up to the large gray brick manor and parked. I turned to the back seat. "Wake up, we're here."

Jackson was the first to wake. "M'kay." he said, sleepily, then climbed out of the car.

I climbed out and opened the other door. I unbuckled Jack and pulled him into my arms. I kissed his forehead. "Keep sleeping, Jacky."

Jackson and I made our way into the building. The door swung open when we approached it. Someone was waiting for us at the door. "Follow me, I will take you to Jace."

We followed her down the hall and into an office. She shut the door behind her.

A man in his early twenties looks at us. He was gorgeous. His dirty blonde hair was a little messed up, but wouldn't look right any other way. You could tell that he was tall, even though he was sitting down in a chair. His dark eyes flickered from me to my brothers. His face showed no emotion. His jaw was set in a hard position though. "May I help you?" he asks."

"I am Morgan Thomas, I have an appointment with you about my two brothers." I said.

"Ah, I have been expecting you." he said. "I am the Alpha of this clan. My name is Jace Darren."

"I am Jackson, this is Jack in my sister's arms." my brother said.

"How long have you all been werewolves?" Jace asks.

I shake my head. "Jackson has been one for three years now. Jack and I aren't."

"Ah I see. We usually have a strict policy about humans staying here." he says.

I hang my head. "I understand."

"Let me finish, but we will make an exception this time." he said.

I smile at him. "Thank you so much."

He chuckles. "I will help you get your bags, then I will settle you into your rooms."

"That won't be necessary." Jackson spoke up. "We only have one bag, sir." He turns to me. "I'll go get it."

I nod and hand him the keys. I watch as he walks out of the office. "So your Alpha?" I ask Jace, to make sure. "Aren't Alphas supposed to be, I don't know, older?"

He rolls his eyes. "If I had a dime every time I was asked that." he mutters. Then he speaks up. "I have been Alpha since I was sixteen. I beat out the old Alpha then."

"How old were you when you were changed?" I asked him.

"Eight." he tells me.

I gasp. "That's so young!"

He nods. "I was the youngest to be changed in the pack. So how did you brother get changed?"

I look away. "I'd rather not tell you."

"I am Alpha, it's something I need to know."

"But I am not a werewolf, ergo I am not your pack mate. You can't order me around. This is something that involves me and I'd rather you not know what exactly had happened." I snapped.

Jackson came in with our book bag over his shoulder. Instantly he realizes what's going on and puts a protective arm over my shoulder.

Jace sighs. "I will show you to your rooms." He leads us out of the room and up a stair way. At the second floor we are lead down a hallway. Then he stops. "Jackson and Jack will be sharing this room." he says, opening a door. Jackson takes Jack from my arms, then walks into the room with a nod to me.

"Where will I be staying?" I asked Jace once they closed the door.

He leads me down the hallway to the end of it. He opens a door. "Here is your room. If you need anything just knock on the door across from yours."

"Who's is it?" I ask him.

"Mine." he replies, then retreats into his room.
