TRAHERN (boyxboy)

Chapter Three

We are all sitting around in this meeting hall ready to lose our minds. In just a couple of weeks, a neighboring pack from Wales, the Brechfa Pack, will be visiting. We anticipate their alpha and his entourage to accompany him. We have been privy to learn that he will also be accompanied by what they believe to be their omegas but they are not quite sure.

This is where Finis will come in. He will know immediately. Or at least that is what the elders have told us. Right now the only thing keeping me grounded is my sole focus on my mate sitting right next to me. I already know who set that up and he is lucky he has the power to pretty much render me useless with the blink of his eye!

I don't think anyone knows how to feel about this future visit but I know one thing is clear, no one had better mess with my mate and The Chosen One because right now, those are the only two people I will protect with my last breath.

I look over at my beautiful mate and take him in. He is perfect! Just as I turn my gaze away from him, he turns towards me and has me entranced with his soul stealing eyes. For a couple of minutes we just stare at each other. Then suddenly it's as if the sun just rises as he graces me with his smile and again this sense of peace washes over me.

Without having to put any effort or thought into it, I reach over and simply caress his cheek with the back of my hand and the feeling of his silky skin against my skin ignites a fire in my wolf. I hear someone clear their throat and we both suddenly pull away from each other.

A see a smile of pure delight cross Nachton's face as he looks down a bit embarrassed at being caught off guard. I realize that you can hear a pin drop as everyone has gone completely silent. Then I hear Finis say in my head, "It is so nice to finally see you smile!" I touch my face with the same hand that was touching my mate and realize that indeed, I have a small smile on my face. That is a bit of a shock since I really thought that HE pretty much beat that out of me.

After hours of debating, arguing and planning, we now have plans to set in motion for the first arrivals to our territory. I want to run as quickly as possible and get away from everyone. My patience has been worn thin.

I put on the face that everyone associates with the GET OUT OF MY WAY AND DON'T FUCK WITH ME attitude. Well everyone, that is, except for my alpha, his mate and now it seems mine as before I even get the chance to turn and storm out of the meeting, I feel the tingles shoot gently up my arm as he tries to wrap his fingers around my wrist.

I turn back towards him to give him my full attention as he says, "Trahern, if you are not busy, I would like it very much if you and I could spend the rest of the day together. Maybe we could go to Finis swimming spot and just relax together."

I get so worked up inside because I don't want to do or say the wrong thing in front of him or to him. How am I suppose to say no when he looks at me pleading me with his eyes. I have a feeling that no is a word he will not hear from me very often.

"I would like that very much but I would like to go for a bit of a run to get all of the stress of the last couple of hours out of the way. Would you like to join me or would you like to wait for me over at Finis haven?" "No, I want to run with you!", he responds excitedly and this response leads me to believe that maybe I need to interact more with him.

If we are to be good mates then we need to get to know each other right. How hard can that be. Just hanging out and seeing how thing go while I try to figure out the shit in my head. Oh yeah, this is going to be loads of fun I think to myself sarcastically. Well, at the very least, my wolf is very happy at the prospect of running with his mate.

I look down at my mate who is still holding onto my wrist and suddenly lets go as his cheeks take on a rose pink hue due to his embarrassment. My arm feels so cold at the loss of his warm touch so I steel myself and take a deep breath in and out. I take his hand in mine and wrap our fingers together and hear his slight intake of breath as those tingles attack the both of us.

His blush has now gotten deeper and there is a distinct smell floating up to the tip of my nostrils. I am not sure how to describe it as of yet. Taking a deep whiff I close my eyes and savor the essence that is my mate and suddenly, my wolf tries to take control. He will do anything to get to his mate.

I suddenly feel the tingles that only my mate can produce in me as he caresses the side of my face and again this sense of utter peace comes over me like the closing of a curtain. My wolf lays back down instantly inside of me passive and peaceful at his mates contact.

I open my eyes and look down into Nachton's gaze and realize that he has done what no other but Finis can do. All of this time I feared that my wolf, in all of his raw, animalistic and terrifying aura would harm him if I lost control but it never occurred to me that he, my true mate, could actually have control over my wolf.

Now feeling a bit of inner peace, I look at him and with a slight smile only ever meant for him I pull him towards me and say, "Let's go have an adventure!" The smile he graces me with has now put the sun to shame.
