Beta Mate

Chapter 3

Vanessa

The weekend flew by and it was soon time for Damien and Harry to head back to their pack. Along with me.
With much struggle, I managed to untangle myself from the hugs of friends and of my family. My mother was crying and my father just smiled lightly. Jake was standing with them rolling his eyes. Classic.
Damien finished putting my bags in his car and opened the car door for me.
"Ready to go?" He asked. I nodded and hopped in. He closed my door and ran around to the other side. Pulling out of the driveway and onto the small road leading out of the territory, I raised my hand in goodbye.
Once we reached the freeway I finally settled in.
"Alpha Harry has gone ahead of us to prepare the pack for our arrival. I was thinking of taking you to my, our, house but if you wanted to sleep in the pack house that's fine. I would understand if you didn't want to sleep in the same bed just yet." He rambles on looking over at me.
I laugh thinking about how we'd already been caught sleeping on the couch laying on eachother. Anyways we're mates, why wouldn't I want to be with him?
I smile and grab onto his free hand. "I would love to see our house."
He breaks into a breathtaking smile, his eyes shining bright.
"You look like the happiest man in the world. " I say giggling.
"Well that's because I am."
My heart literally melts and we ride the rest of the car ride in content silence.
After a couple of hours we pull onto a small wooden path barely wide enough for Damien's car. I look around at the bright green terrain. The path was rocky and trees that looked like they touched the sky surrounded us. The territory of my old pack was dry and the landscape was boring. But here it was magical.
We drove for another 15 minutes and then entered a large clearing. In the center was a large building, I'm guessing the packhouse, surrounded by smaller buildings, houses.
He pulled up in front of the doors of the packhouse. I let myself out and Damien joined me as we walked up to the large doors. I opened the door and we walked in.
Pack members were hustling around getting dinner ready while kids and teens sat and chat.
Damien grabbed my hand and pulled me to the kitchen. I was greeted by group of men and women cooking what looked to be a feast.
Just as I was taking in all the wonderful smells a small woman turns around and starts to smile brightly in our direction. She quickly walks over and pulls us in for a very tight hug.
"Oh Damien! I am so happy for you! When were you going to tell me? Have you told your parents? She's an absolute beauty!" The woman rambles on glancing at pur interlaced hands and everywhere inbetween.
Damien places a hand on her shoulder slightly calming her down. "Marie I would like for you to meet my mate Vanessa. Ness meet Marie, Harry's mum and one of the greatest people I know."
She hugs me one last time. "It's been so lovely to meet you but as you see I have a lot of mouths to feed." She turns to Damien expectedly, "Will you two be joining us...?"
"Unfortunately no, I was thinking of taking Nessa to the house and getting her settled in but maybe tomorrow night."
She nods knowingly and smiles a warm goodbye before running back to her spot in the kitchen and yelling orders.
Damien takes me away from the chaos upstairs into a long hallway. He turns into a doorway and steps into an office. Also causing us to walk in on Alpha Harry making out with a woman on his lap. I stifle a small scream and quickly cover my eyes.
I hear them scrambling to get up and adjust themselves. Damien just stands there as if nothing strange happened. I lower my hand from my eyes.
"Hello Damien, how was the ride?" Alpha Harry asks, standing up to walk over in front of us. "It was fine thank you Alpha. Luna." Nodding his head in respect to the woman behind the desk. She looked at me and instantly smiled. I waved back not sure how to react.
"Hello I'm Sarah, sorry about that Harry," she laughs. "Just can't seem to keep his hands off me." She smirks as Harry glares at her.
"Hi I'm Vanessa." I say. Damien quickly steps in. "Well I just wanted to let you know we arrived so we'll be off."
I wave a quick goodbye to the 'already on the floor making out' alpha and luna as Damien drags me out. We get back in the car and drive even deeper into the woods to a secluded area with a massive beautiful Victorian style home in the center. I gasp as I see a small turret on the top of the house. I'd always wanted one as my room.
In the dark moonlight, the house blends in with the windows being the only thing that tells you something is there. We pull up in front of a small garage. I get out and follow Damien.
He unlocks the house and I walk in as he turns on the lights. The outside of the house was amazing, but the inside was even better. The living-room led into the kitchen along with a nice spiral staircase down a hallway. I ran up excited to see the upstairs. There were three bedrooms along with three bathrooms. I came to the last bedroom and walked in. It was absolutely perfect.
Large, warm hands encircled my waist as I stared at the room before me.
"You like?" Damien asked looking down at me.
"I love." I responded breathlessly.
"I haven't shown you the best part yet though." He says as he lifts me up onto his back. I laugh as he opens another door and runs up a small staircase. He settles me down on my feet letting me look at the small space.
I realize that this is the turret. I run to the windows and look out at the sprawling forest. There wasn't much to see because of the dark but I could tell this would be the most perfect view during the day.
I turn around, remembering there's someone behind me. I leap into Damien's arms.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I whisper. My heart was literally ready to burst.
He led me back to our room and we got ready for bed. I slipped in next to him, his warmth spreading through me. He holds on to me tightly. I fall asleep instantly feeling secure and happy.

Damien

I stared down at Ness taking in every little thing about her. I never thought I would be able to find her and yet here she was. I pulled her closer to me never wanting to let go. I barely knew anything about her yet I loved her more than anything in the world. She was mine.
