How It Feels To Be Lost

Alex woke and immediately tumbled off the side of the bed. "Uff!" She grunted as she hit the marble floor. "Hmm??.." jordan groaned. The mate bond twinged, sending slight panic across. "I'm right here." Alex said as she sat back on the bed. "Oh..good." Jordan sighed, and got up. "What time is it?" He asked, stretching. "6:03AM." Alex responded absently. "Something wrong?" Jordan put his hand on his shoulder. Sparks flickered again. "Does this mean I can join the pack?" Jordan looked brain dead for a second before responding. "I completely forgot! Yes I'll do it now." Confusion crossed the mate bond. "Isn't a ceremony required?" Alex tilted her head. "Well, usually. But private ones exist. I'll just call over our friends." Jordan grabbed his phone. By friends I'm assuming he means Ross, Jake, and Mikayla. Maybe some of his friends. Alex thought. "They're on their way." Jordan went to get dressed, while Ale stayed behind to change. She wore a simple white sun-dress.

Jordan walked out wearing a light blue button-down Tshirt, and jeans. "You look beautiful.." he leaned closer, a knock on the door interrupted their moment. Mikayla, Ross, Jake, The boy she had defended, and some other people walked in. One older man and his mate were approaching me. "Hello! So wonderful to meet you Alex." Said the women, offering her hand. Ale shook her hand. "Call me Ale." Then the man shook her hand. "Are you Jordan's parents?" She asked. "I'm his father, retired Alpha Randall, and my mate Linda." Alex's eyes widened. "Mr. And Mrs. Anders! I've heard of you in pack history!" She smiled. "Oh what a dear! You're so lucky Jordy." Linda practically purred. "Father, stepmother. If you don't mind I would like to introduce everyone and move on." Jordan spoke coolly. "Oh course son." Mr. Anders nodded. "The boy you protected yesterday, is Omega Daniel. The other guy standing behind me was Kami." Jordan said, drawing his alpha blade. "Father, I can't injure my mate...can you do the honor?" Jordan handed his father the alpha blade. "Yes." Mr. Anders cut shallowly into Jordan's wrist, and mine. Control wobbled over the mate bond. Alex put her wound where her mate's was and the mind link hooked to her. "Welcome to the Nightshade Pack, Alex Reiz." Jordan hugged her. He smiled, gasps came from those in the room. "Alpha never smiles!" Daniel laughed. Everyone clapped and made their way out, leaving the two alone. "Your parents are super nice!" Alex grinned. "Oh? Yes, they are. Would you like to have dinner with them?" Jordan asked softly. "Yes! Yes! Can we all have a picnic?" Jordan pretended to think. "Hmmmm..I dont know? Would you eat everyone's food?" He smiled. "No I wouldn't I promise!" Alex begged, bouncing up and down. "Ok I'll call them." He called his family as Ale Excitedly awaited.

We sat in the park on a blanket, eating the food we all brought. "So Alex darling, what's your birthday?"
I tilted my head, swallowed my food, and responded. "September the second." I remembered. It was august. "Oh! Not too long after Jordy's." I gasped, choking slightly. "When is his!?" Linda giggled. "The 5th." It was the second. I need to do something awesome for him! "I  was wondering.." I began. "Could I speak to you two alone?" Mrs. And mr. Anders exchanged glances and nodded, leading me off into the distance. "What's wrong Ale?" Mr. Anders asked. "I want to do something for Jordan's birthday." I responded excitedly. "Oh! Of course!" Linda exchanged phone numbers with me, and told me I could call her anytime. We made our way back to the picnic, and a very confused Jordan. "What took you so long?" He asked, wrapping me in a hug. "It was only 5 minutes." I giggled. "It felt like 5 hours." He mumbled, burying his face in my shoulder. We enjoyed our picnic in peace from there.
