TRAHERN (boyxboy)

Chapter Four

I am actually quite anxious to run with my mate as I have not seen him in his wolf form. We arrive at Fin's lake and in my exuberance, I begin to strip and just as I go to let my wolf out, I glance over at Nachton and every hair on my body stands at attention. Every nerve ending in my muscles are taut. Every breath I take is now labored.

My mistake was looking up at the exact moment that my mate began revealing his glorious, silken like skin. Goddess help me but he is completely hairless. EVERYWHERE! The only hair gracing his body is the beautiful coppery mane curtain on his head and it falls down his back like a graceful waterfall ending just above the top of the crack of his scrumptious ass.

I begin to feel myself harden and that is also a foreign feeling for me. Then I watch him transform effortlessly, almost like an alpha, into the most alluring wolf I have ever seen. His fur is the exact same coppery color as his head of hair and yet it now glows almost as if the tips of it were on fire when the sun hits him.

He walks over to me and give me a glance that starts from the tips of my toes and works all the way up my body. He stops at my eyes and then I hear him say through the mind link, Well, are you going to show me your wolf or what?

Without hesitation I begin my much slower transformation. Normally this is a painful process for a regular wolf but I feel nothing. I do not know if I can attribute that fact to my being a gamma or to the LESSONS forced upon me at my fathers hand.

Once I completely transform, I shake out my fur which is pretty much the color of honey. I am a blond wolf which shocked me as well as everyone else who encountered the change. If not for the sheer massive size of my wolf, I would look like a docile creature due to the color of my fur but make no mistake, I am a very dangerous monster.

You are a sight to behold! Now move your gorgeous behind as my wolf is desperate to run free next to you. I hear my mate say to me in my head so I give him a slight nod, turn and then we are off.

I never put much thought into a mate. I believe that if my father were still alive he would have chosen one for me by now but with his death came responsibility and a freedom I was not used to.

Even though I hate him to the very core of my soul, I did the only thing I was ever taught to do. Obey, respect, protect, these are the rules of a gamma. There was never any room for the thoughts of a mate but running free with the wind blowing through my fur and my mate running right by my side made my heart feel full.

We ran for what felt like a couple of hours just the two of us. Well I ran and Nachton tried to outrun me which I thought was too endearing. For the first time in my life, I felt free in my wolf form.

We came to a stop near a small creek. I know he would never want to show any signs of weakness but I new he was thirsty so to save him face I walked up to the creek to quench my thirst.

As he begins his approach I feel an uneasiness inside of me and my wolf goes on the alert. I turn towards Nachton and know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my mate is in danger. As I run towards him two large rogues seem to come out of thin air and lunge right for him.

They never reach him for I head butt the one on our left throwing him a few good yards as I simultaneously turn and use the full force of my body to rear end the other. I have now effectively placed my mate at my back and have now taken a protective stance.

After getting their bearings, they approach us and as I go into attack mode I let out this fierce and terrifying roar and at first it stops the two rogues in their tracks but not for long.

As they run full force against us on opposite sides of me I feel, I can only explain it as a shimmer of a tickle, as the rogue on the left reaches us first and slams head first into nothing and is thrown back a good thirty feet or so.

Having been distracted by that scene I barely get to concentrate on my opposite side before this fucking rogue attempts to lunge for my mate who I find to suddenly be in his human form and not looking to good

I block my mate with my large wolf body and the fucking rogue takes a bite out of me but if there is one thing my father beat into me more than anything else is that pain is fear and I fear nothing and pushing this rogue off of me I go to lunge at him when suddenly I hear his painful howl as he bursts into flames and before long, his ashes are blowing in the wind.

I turn towards my mate knowing that Fin and Magnus are right here with me. At the sight of my mate passed out on the ground and blood leaking from his nose, I lose my shit altogether and it takes Finis next words to halt whatever meltdown I was going to have.

"Calm the fuck down Trahern. He passed out when he used some of his powers. He is going to be fine but I think his mates presence will ease his soul while he regenerates." I nod in understanding to him and pick my mate up bridal style with a tenderness I did not even know I possessed and look over at my alpha and omega.

"Can you transport all of us at once baby?" Before Fin can answer his question I find us now in my room and walk over to my bed to place Nachton gently down. Fin takes one of his glowing hands and runs it up and down his body. Once he is done he looks over to me and smiles as he says, "He is resting and should be fine in a few hours."

I finally let out a huge sigh of relief and before Fin and Magnus leave I ask, "How did you know we were in trouble? How did you even find us?" "I felt Nachton reach for his power and in that brief moment I was able to glimpse the scene before you and knowing I was freaking out Magnus held onto me as I transported to where you both were and well you know the rest.

"What happened to the other one?" "He must have fled before I got there as I felt none other than you, your mate and that waste of fur that attacked you." "They were not after me. They were after Nachton."

The shock on their faces raises my wolf's hackles and as I question why my mate is a target I come to realize one very important thought. I am wrong, pain may not be something I fear but I do fear one thing...losing my mate.
