Withered Love

Dianna

Who is Dianna, I wondered? That werewolf Clifford seemed to be furious that I was with Drake, could he be related to this she-wolf he mentioned? Drake walked up to me helping me off of the ground as he pulled me to his chest.

"I think we will have to address this with Dianna, so she see's I have found my mate and there is nothing between her and I." Drake informed us.

I nodded as did Kade as Kade shifted and we walked towards the center of the pack.

"Mates, are you not caring if I am naked? I don't mind but I am not sure if you will, and I don't think you want to kill everyone if you are not alright with it." I grinned.

"There are baskets around the woods with clothes in them, we will get some there and No, you will not walk in front of them naked!" Drake growled out.

I so love how they are so protective, I would love to push them, but I know if I do, innocent werewolves will end up dying because of me and I am not willing to do that.

"Who is Dianna?" I asked my mate.

"She was a she-wolf I was close to as a pup; we grew up together and we thought we may end up mates. When I went away, I didn't tell her I was leaving, I left in the darkness of night and got as far away as I could and set out to find my place. I was rebellious and wanted away from the responsibilities, training to be Alpha and most of all anything to do with my pack or training. Your father had found me on pack lands, and we had started talking and I explained I ran away from my pack but never told him why. He took me under his wing and well, you know the rest." He answered me.

"Did you ever send her word of where you were or even if you were alive?" I asked.

"Mate, it was a fresh start so no I did not. If she wants to act like Kade's arranged mate I will claim you in front of her to...I dare her!" He growled low.

I had learned when I hear mate like that it was their primal talking, and making their intentions known. I sighed out hoping this she-wolf would not cause an issue, the past few weeks have been extremely tiring and with the pup it seems I continue to become more tired all the time. Drake looked to his left and took off running as I stopped and Kade wrapped his arms around me not knowing what was going on. Moments later Drake came back into view with some clothes for all of us, I should have figured he would know where they were.

We continued to walk toward the center of the pack as I noticed many werewolves walking around with their mates and pups. I smiled knowing the pack was thriving and there were families not only single wolves in the pack. I feel a pack should be family oriented because that is what we all are is one massive family which live together. I looked over at my mates, they shrunk wrapped their large, muscled bodies into t shirts which were too small and shorts. I grinned as I saw their muscles bulging with every movement as a snicker escaped me. I clapped my hand over my mouth as they both turned to look at me as my cheeks now were brilliant red.

"You think we look ridiculous, don't you?" They asked.

I kept my hand clamped over my mouth as I nodded vigorously as small giggles were escaping my tight grip on my mouth.

"Oh, you like a hand over your mouth, well you shall be receiving that mate." Kade growled low as his eyes flashed at me.

Oh, I think I am in trouble...but at least it will be fun. I wiggled my eyebrows at them as their eyes grew wide at understanding as their grins grew deviously wide. They both pulled off the tiny t shirts and stood strong, dominant, and tall....mm my mates. I purred at the vision before me as they both grinned pleased with my reaction to their half nakedness.

They reached out pulling me tight between them as their arms wrapped around me as they growled quietly in my ears, talk about getting wound up in a split second. They knew how to get me going that is for sure, but I also know Drake wanted to confront this she-wolf. Mostly likely he wanted to address it now considering what happened with the chosen mate that was picked for Kade. I won't allow that to occur again! As we walked further into the pack many werewolves bowed their heads in our direction, well both of my mates are Alpha males after all.

"You're an Alpha female as well mate, they better show respect if they care to keep their limbs." They growled through the link.

We walked down a small dirt path with small white rocks lining the walkway, ahead a small white fence around a tiny light blue house. There were flowers filling the space between the fence and the house, someone loved roses that is for sure. There were so many varieties, ranging from pinks to red and even rarer colors like deep purplish black ones. It was beautiful I must admit, is this where she lived? I took a deep breath as I think my mates sensed my uneasiness in regard to this.

"Everything will be fine mate, if she wants to dispute...I will fill you right here in front of her!" Drake rumbled out.

"Hold up here, you are not doing that alone, I need some as well!" Kade chimed in.

I shook my head and blushed and grinned at them both, I must admit it was a very tempting idea.

Kade remained with his arm around my waist as Drake stepped forward and knocked on the door returning to my side reaching around me pulling me tight. We heard some noise coming from inside, so we knew someone was home, unaware if it was Clifford or Dianna. The old wooden door began to creek open as a pair for green eyes peered out as they widened as her eyes locked on Drake.

"Drake? Is that really you?" Her voice trembled out.

"Yes, Dianna it is me. I do hope you have been well." He spoke out so formally.

She threw the door open as she ran towards us as she wrapped herself around my mate as a vicious growl ripped from my lips. Her eyes widened as she looked at me with curiosity, Drake pushed her gently off of him as he pulled me closer into himself. Dianna let out a low growl as she looked on at Drakes reaction to me.

"Who is she Drake? Why are you holding her and not me?" She spat out.

"She is my mate Dianna, that is why!" He replied.

"How is it she gets two Alpha males as mates and my mate is taken from me?" She spat.

"I was never your mate Dianna...we had a crush on one another, we were just pups." He replied.

"No! I love you Drake!" She screamed out at him.

I felt myself beginning to become angry as my primal was forcing herself forward, Kade must have sensed it as he gripped me tighter.

"Drake, bad situation about to occur!" Kade informed Drake urgently.

"Dianna, understand this...I do not want to hurt you. I am not your mate and never was, I am Claire's true mate, and she is the only she-wolf I shall be with. There will never be an us! I am saying this for your protection because as we are extremely protective and possessive over her, she is over us as well. Nothing can take me from my mate or our pup." He informed her.

Her eyes grew wider as she screamed out in fury as she picked up a potted plant that sat near the doorway throwing it at me, well us I presume but honestly, I think she was aiming for me. She growled out as I could tell she was furious and not going to accept this polite rejection well. What is it with these she-wolves they are Alpha hungry...heck I didn't want the one I knew was an Alpha and wanted the one I thought was just a warrior? I guess it speaks magnitudes for me that I on the other hand was not after status.

"I'll get you...just you wait and see!" She yelled as she stormed into the house slamming the door shut.
