Unveiling Love (Book 4 in Young Mate Series)

Chapter 3

Mason~

I'm very well disappointed that I was forced to miss my very own mate's birthday party.

And I missed the first time seeing her wolf form. My wolf antagonizes to be let out and take control then run all the miles leading back to her house.

But sadly... duty calls, being an Alpha with a pack to lead. Especially if something could endanger the pack's future Luna.

My beta, Jake, informed me months ago about some minor threat approaching neighboring packs.

Well just finding my mate, my wolf would not leave with out knowing she was safe and out of harm's way.

I pushed his warning to the back of my head hoping Jake could take care of it being a possible rumor or a minor threat.

But then after Jackie was found and safe, my work and duties caught up with me and I had to go back to the pack.

I had bills to look over, new pack members to approve, and other random acts Alphas have to complete for themselves.

Some things can only be completed by the highest ranked member of a pack.

Jake can only do so much as a beta. He can do things like pay the electric bill, manage the pack's psychical wellness, and sign some approvals about allying with other packs.

I've also been in meetings with other packs about land area, alliances, and other inconspicuous things, that's taken up many weeks since I have been back.

Rumor has been going around some packs in Europe about some supernatural source or occupant.

Some Alphas of packs, back here across the pond (in the Americas) are somewhat unaware of this, for we just believe its just some petty childhood story made up centuries ago with no evidence to back it up.

I would like keep it that way; being just a story meant to keep children scared out of their wits from sneaking out.

I need to get back to this meeting with some more Alphas that have come to visit me and discuss some of the things that I've not been able to tell Jackie about.

I get up from signing some papers at my desk then head out of my office, to my "meeting" room that a long cedar desk perfect for meeting with other packs.

It also has 2 chairs to head the table, one for me and one for my love when she is ready to come and move in with me. That is after we get married, of course.

I rub the back of my head since my wolf has been giving me a throbbing head ache lately.

My wolf has been restless for some reason.

I guess its because he can now sense the tangible existence of Jackie's wolf due to her birthday being yesterday.

I know she's alright since I talked to her on the phone just last night at 6:00 p.m to 6:30 p.m the dot, as I do every night.

Its the only way I've been able to keep my wolf sane for the last few months. Hearing her voice everyday soothes me and my wolf.

Knowing she is alright is all that matters.

I've finally reached my destination since the room is far away from everything house, due to keeping the meeting's topics, events and anything that might happen from any of the pack's busy bodies.

What happens in the room stays in the room. Meeting alphas for the first time can be dangerous, you never know what to expect.

I open the room's thick chestnut door to find a small petite brown haired young lady, with thick glasses sitting in a chair at the table.

There are so many packs, big and small, across North & South America its hard to know everyone.

I extend my hand and genuinely introduce myself "Hello my name is Mason and I am the Alpha of the pack."

She takes my hand returning the firm grip and introduces herself with a strong harsh voice with a vague hint of kindness "Hello Mason I am Natalie M..."

My head ache came back, this time very harshly.

Then the lights went out.

I awoke with something damp patting my face.

"Mason. Come on..." An urgent voice spoke, addressing me

"Oh come on buddy... You can't just collapse in front of the guests." While they were still patting my face with a damp cloth

"Ugh.... Come on Mason..." The voice urged while lifting me up off the ground.

Then my mind clicked. Jake, that's who it is.

I opened my eyes in which my usual 20/20 vision was fuzzy at first.

I found myself in the same room in which I previously collapsed onto the floor in.

Jake & Natalie..? were handling a bottle of water and pouring what was left in it onto the cloth for Jake who was previously trying to regain me to a conscious state and keep me that way.

"I am very sorry Mason, you just collapsed onto the floor after, well really while, we were shaking hands you see here. " Natalie..? said with a kind and openness tone, clearly exasperated while using her hands to emphasize

"Then she came and got me Alpha Mason, you see sir." Jake finished

"Oh okay thank you Jake and Natalie...?"

"Oh its Morton. Natalie Morton! " She replied with a smile while she extended her hand for a friendly hand shake.

"Oh well nice to meet you Natalie Morton!" I replied

I was very very, shocked by this girl.

It wasn't her change in attitude. Her smile. Her exquisite physical fitness. Or her character.

It was the tingles that I felt when we shook hands.
