Mated to the wrong one

Chapter 13-Excuse you?

As I approached them Cassie jumped into my arms giving me the biggest hug. It felt good to know that all the work that I have put into this is worth something to my friends and family. I cant believe that Devon had the nerve to introduce me to that she wolf at my gathering of celebration. Don't get me wrong us wolves love a good celebration and will do it for anything, but how rude. No warning or anything. What was that about. I wonder if the reason she was so cold to me was cause he told her? Had he told her already? I wonder if that was it. He was practically wanting to make out with me in the close just barely an hour ago. What a jerk. Now he is just taking my love and making me want to murder it. Cassie finally released me from her hug and let go with a huge grin on her face.

"You..... WERE.... freaking.... AMAZEBALLS. I am so proud to be your best friend. Omg. When you took Jefferson down like you did and then omg! OMG!"

"Cassie. Please calm down. " I chuckled at her extreme nature.

"Sorry. But, I am so proud of you. You did so amazing!"

"Thank you Cassie. I love you too."

I turned to look at Jefferson that was practically undressing me with his eyes. It was pretty damn sexy. I had to stop thinking about the tree house or others would smell my arousal. I winked at him and then turned back to my best friend to see where she wanted to head to. She was still sorta bouncing on her heels. It almost seems like she was more excited then I was to be heading to the next level. It was sorta cute. I shook my head and chuckled some more at her.

"Stop laughing at me Penny."

"Why?"

"Because, its not nice. That's why. Tell her Jefferson!"

"Wait.... You know Jefferson?"

"You kidding right? He lives right next door to me. We have known each other since I was in diapers. He is top of his class and next in line to be one of the detail that helps out the future Alpha. Do you not know anything Penelope? Do they just teach you to kick and punch in your warrior class?"

"Well, excuse me Miss, but I dont usually pay any attention to gossip and drama in the pack. Anything to do with the Alpha and Beta, future or otherwise I just keep away from. You know why. Are you really forgetting already?"

"But, Penny your father protects the current Beta. Don't you wanna follow in his footsteps and do the same?"

I just stared at her. Waiting for it to click for her. Jefferson was equally intrigued. Apparently he knew nothing about me and Devon. Which was a shock. We were the big talk about how horrible he was not waiting for his mate. Of course they just called me a slut for giving in to him and I was looked down upon. As always the male was looked at as a stud, but the girl was a whore. I hate how much drama sleeping with a guy whether you made him wait a whole year or not. No one cares about that detail. I wondered if I should tell Jefferson or not. He looked quite confused. Wonder if he would still wanna do anything with me knowing that Devon was my ex boyfriend.

"Oh MY GAWD. Shit Penny. I am a blonde. Forgive me. Sorry. So who do you wanna protect then? Are you wanting someone special to? Oh my word. What if you are assigned "him" do you think you could still do it?"

"Slow down Cassie. I have to pass training first."

"Oh, no worries. We all know you will. You fought with second level skills. The fact your brother was bumped up because of the skills your lineage has just proves that you will do it. I'm shocked they didn't put you in the second level training right away."

We both hear a throat clear and Jefferson stands so close to me that I feel his warm body on my arm. He is practically holding my hand. I love it. He makes me feel safe. Nothing like Devon made me feel. He is larger and much more intoxicating then Devon was. Wait, why am I even comparing them. They are nothing alike. Why did I even think that I could have a thing with the Beta's son. He would soon be in power and I didn't want any of that. If I was to be mated with another warrior I could have the life I wanted. Simple and uncomplicated.
