The Alpha

Chapter 7

I knocked on the door of Fabians room.

"Are you ready," I asked. I heard a muffled yeah, then a cry of pain before he opened the door, rubbing his elbow. I almost laughed. He looked like a little kid who had been caught doing something naughty.

"Where are we going again?"

I made my way downstairs, ignoring his question, and grabbed my car keys. I had to admit, my car was my most prized possession. My 2014 Ford Camaro. I walked into the kitchen, and found Daniela.

"Alpha, where are you taking Fabian," she asked nervously.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna hurt him," I reassured her. She looked relieved. "I want you to come with me too." She looked confused. "I'm going out to find my mate."

She grinned. "Okay I can definitely help with that," she laughed.

"Do I... Look okay?" I asked nervously. I had chosen a blood red v-neck short sleeved t-shirt with Aeropostale ripped skinny Capri pants and my brown gladiator sandals to match my brown belt. I had curled my hair and applied a little bit of mascara and lipgloss. I had on blood red rose earrings and decided to change my nose ring to a black ring.

"Your absolutely beautiful. You look fine," Daniela assured me. I sighed with relief. I heard Fabian make his way downstairs and I couldn't help but smile at the way he looked at his mate.

"Let's go," I said before walking out. I drove into the city, to the place I last saw him. His scent was very faint but it was still there. I followed it all the way outside and realized that he had gotten into a car. I raced to my car, Fabian and Daniela behind me, and followed his scent all the way to a park. I knew I was getting close because my heart started beating faster, my stomach was feeling the butterflies. I took a whiff and almost froze. He was here. I looked around, and there he was.. With two kids?! I stared in shock as my mate started playing with the little girl and boy. My heart swelled up with pride.

"Is that him Alpha," Daniela asked, her eyes locked on my mate. I nodded. I started to slowly make my way towards him, and stopped when he suddenly turned around to look at me. His smile was breathtaking. I slowly started walking towards him again.

"Hi."

I was shocked. He had actually spoken first. His voice had a tint of a Cuban accent and I could feel myself melting.

"Hey."

"I don't think I've met you before," he said before holding his hand out for a shake. I took his hand, and the sparks I felt before turned into fireworks.

"Brent Callister."

"Cecilia Knight."

"Are they yours?" I asked, nodding my head towards the little girl and boy. I saw him frown.

"You too huh," he muttered.

"I'm sorry, me what?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"No, they're not mine," he sighed. "They're my brother and sister."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"For what," he asked.

"Assuming," I muttered.

"It happens," he said, shrugging. "But anyways, what's a pretty little lady like you doing here alone?"

"Who said I was alone," I smirked. He frowned. At that precise moment, Daniela and Fabian arrived.

"This is Fabian and Daniela, my pa- um, sister and brother in law," I stammered at the last minute.

"Nice to meet you," he said shaking both their hands. A girl ran up to Brent, and I noticed it was the same girl who had kissed him at the mall. My eyes narrowed at her. I wanted nothing more then to rip her stupid little head off. In front of me, she hugged him and I couldn't help but growl at her, and grabbed her hand back. I felt Daniela's hand on my arm and she yanked me back.

"Alpha, what are you doing," she hissed.

"I'm not letting anyone touch my mate," I hissed back.

"Your gonna risk exposing us. Stop Cece. Please," she growled back. I knew she was right.

"Sorry, I thought you looked like someone," I snarled at the girl. She looked scared.

"No worries..." She trailed off. I gritted my teeth and tried to ignore the fact that this fragile human was close to my mate. I closed my eyes and a wicked smile formed, just thinking about how this meaningless little girl thought she could take what's mine. I felt someone stare at me and I knew who. My eyes flew open and I stared into my mates shocked eyes. He looked startled... But he was blushing at the same time. I smiled at him.

"It was nice meeting you Cecilia," he said smiling before taking the girl by the hand and walking off. I stopped myself from going after them and yanking the stupid little humans hands off of him.

"Easy there big girl," I heard Fabian mutter. I growled at him.

"Fabian, I have a job for you."

"What is it."

"From now on, your in charge of Brent. Your in charge of protecting the packs Heron. Follow him wherever he goes and make sure he doesn't come close to danger. Protect him with your life if you have to Fabian."

Fabian beamed. "I'll die trying Alpha."

I turned back around, to stare after my mate in the arms of another woman. I narrowed my eyes at her. NO ONE was gonna touch what was mine.
