The Alpha and His Little

4

Dinner did not go as smoothly as expected since Alpha Ash kept glaring at the guy in front of me. I think his name is Frank and he is the youngest in our pack history to have shifted.

Okay let me explain better. Frank has not found his mate as of yet and during dinner he kept staring at me, well mostly my chest.

After dinner Alpha Ash excuses himself and darts outside. I watch him shift secretly as I pretend to be staring at the stars.

Dang his wolf is huge!

Ally walks up next to me.

"They are beautiful aren't they?" Ally asks.

I look at her and see she was looking at the spot Alpha Ash was since now he is beyond the tree line.

"The stars are always beautiful."

I try my best to keep my cover.

"Indeed they are, but we both know you were not admiring them." Ally says suggestively nodding at the tree line.

I sigh knowing my cover is blown.

"Ally he is not mine, but you caught me, he is very handsome."

"What if he was?" Ally asks.

I look at her trying to understand.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean what if you are his mate." Ally explains.

"It would make since why he was glaring at Frank all through dinner."

"Not what I asked." Ally says.

"I would be sad and happy at the same time."

"What do you mean?" Ally asks as we sit down on the back porch chairs.

"I would be sad to leave you and Nate without a little. I would be sad to leave here what I have considered home for a year now. At the same time I would be happy I have my other half even though I would miss you guys very much. I would be excited to explore a new area. And I would try my best to get to know the pack."

"We would miss you too, but......" Ally says as Nate walks outside and picks her up.

He kisses her and carries her inside as I watch hoping one day I would have that kind of love.

I already know where he is taking her and don't get me wrong I am happy and hopeful for them. I know Nate needs at least one pup and I know this week he has been trying, but I kept slipping into my little space.

I look back at the trees wishful that Ally was hinting to Alpha Ash and I are mates.

Okay so maybe I am lonely and already want my other half badly, but I am not desperate. If he is my other half then I would be so lucky and happy. If he is not my other half I am not going to even try as I do not want to take someone else's other half away from them. Okay let's be real here, he most likely would leave me for his mate if I am not his mate. Probably when he finds his mate he would and that will only cause so many negative things. I would be heart broken if that happened and who knows if it would ever heal as he is out pack's allies. Which means we would see him at least once a year to renew the contract, but most likely at gatherings as well. Like in two months we are having a BQ to celebrate with our allies only to celebrate the strong bond our pack has with our allies. I mean our pack has been allies with them for almost 5 centuries. If he is not my other half, we became romantic, and then he found his mate these gatherings would be miserable. As this pack's Delta I would have to attend every meeting and gathering I am told to attend.

After an hour I look to the trees seeing wolf eyes. I could not make out the body.

"Show yourself!"

I know what you are thinking 'how stupid are you, staying out here unprotected with an unknown werewolf'.

"Show yourself! I won't repeat myself again!"

It has to be one of our members or a invited visitor as the alarm has not gone off. Well unless the border protocol and other guards were all killed before they could sound the alarm.

The wolf does not move or make any signs of following my orders.
