The Alpha's Daughter

Mate..

"Mate," The word hung in the air between us.

'Logan,' I sent through the pack link. 'He found me.'

Within two seconds, Logan and Camron skidded to a stop beside me.

My mate growled and pulled me behind him, taking up a protective stance in front of me and keeping a hand on my arm possessively.

I sighed, walking out from behind him and shrugging out of his attempt to hold me back. I looked up then to see some humans were openly staring at the scene we had created. My mate looked up too.

"Everyone out!" He commanded.

Oh shit...he was an Alpha.

Of course he was an Alpha! What did you expect? I sighed and mentally kicked myself for hoping otherwise. Usually, when an Alpha steps down or dies, his heir or Beta will take his place. Normally, Logan would become Alpha but since i am my father's only heir, he has made it so that my mate will become Alpha of our pack and since i am to be Luna, of course my mate would have Alpha qualities! Once i was mated, i would become Luna. However, i have no plans of doing so, Logan could just go right ahead and become Alpha because i wasn't going to be Luna. I wasn't going to have a mate.

While i was having this little mental rant, all the humans had cleared out, unable to resist an Alpha's command and Camron had put the 'closed' sign up on the window.

"Are you ok?" Logan asked me, putting a hand on my back.

Within a split second i was ripped away from his comforting touch and facing my mates back.

"Mine!" He roared at Logan.

Logan growled at him, my 'mate' growled back at Logan, which in turn had Camron growling back at my mate.

The amount of testosterone building up in such a small room was nearly suffocating.

"Enough!" I commanded. The growling died down.

I looked Camron in the eyes, challenging him. He dropped his eyes immediately, his dominance no match for mine.

Logan was next, and though he was more dominant than I at the moment, he submitted out of respect and tilted his head, bearing his neck to me.

Lastly i turned to my mate. He didn't look away from me, as mates, we were supposed to be equal and one would not submit to the other.

"Stop growling at Logan," I told him.

He smiled at me then, revealing an even row of gleaming white teeth and making two dimples appear on his tanned cheeks. His eyes faded to completely blue then, letting me know that the man was in full control and that the wolf had retreated for now.

He stood to his full height, which was around 6' 4" which is pretty impressive considering he was about 19, tops. He had a strong build and large arm muscles, you could nearly tell that he would have a toned six pack from just looking at his stomach, and his hair was midnight black and slightly disheveled although it wasn't messy.

The most appealing thing about him was his scent. Imagine your favourite smell in the world, then times it by one hundred. This is how good he smelt to me. It was like freshly cut grass and melted chocolate. Heavenly.

Stop right there, Lilly. I told myself. Don't fall for him, remember your resolve.

I turned away from him then and looked back at Logan and Camron, who still hadn't relaxed their tensed postures. "Logan, i want to go home now."

He nodded but my mate behind me exclaimed, "What? No! I only found you, and i am not going to let you go, especially not with two male wolves!"

"We're not just any wolves, pup." Logan snarled. I put a hand on his arm, telling him to take it easy.

My mate snarled back, glaring at my hand on his arm like he could use his mind to take it off.

Camron took my hand and began to lead me outside to the car. Bad idea.

My mates eyes shifted completely to silver, meaning the wolf was in control and all rationality was out the window.

"You dare to try and take from me what is mine?!" He bellowed, tugging me out of Camron's hold and into his arms.

Although i would never admit it, i felt so comfortable and safe in his arms, shocks of electricty were running over the bare skin that was touching his.

'Logan, do something,' I said, using the link so that my mate couldn't hear. Logan nodded slightly.

"I think we need to calm down." He said calmly.

My mate laughed shortly without humour. "Calm down?! I have only found my mate after three years of searching, only to find her with not one, but two male wolves and you expect me to be CALM ABOUT IT?" He said, his voice raising at the end.

"We don't mean any harm to Lilly. We would never hurt her." Camron said honestly.

"And how would i know that?" He scoffed.

I stepped out of his arms and turned to look at him. "Because it's the truth. Logan and Camron have been looking after me and saved me from a living hell in my father's pack house. They're like brothers to me. And who gave you the right to question them when they have done nothing wrong?"

His expression softened then and the man in him took control again.

"I'm sorry if i overreacted," He said.

"Understatement of the century," I interrupted.

He took my hands in his. "But i can't help but feel possessive of you Lilly. When i've been searching for you for three years, and find you in a swimming pool, baring your markings and then find you with two guys? You have to see where i'm coming from. I just couldn't stand it if you were hetting hurt."

But that's what's going to happen if i fall for you, i thought to myself.Even though i already had. Those lips looked amazing and i so wanted to taste them, but i couldn't. I couldn't do that to him.

"I'm sorry." I said, pulling my hands from his grasp.

"Logan, please take me home. I can't do this." I pleaded.

"Of course."

My mate stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Are you rejecting me as your mate?" He asked sadly.

I shook my head. "You wouldn't understand."

"Try me."

Again, i shook my head.

'Lilly, he might understand if you told him. You might even get through this fear.' Logan sent through the link.

'I don't think he would.' I replied honestly.

'Look at the way he looks at you,' I did. 'He's in love with you already and knowing that he's found you but can't have you? It'll drive him insane and the darkness will overcome him. It'll be like Dom.' He finished quietly.

I whipped around to face him and shoved a finger in his chest.

"Do NOT use Dom as a way to make me feel bad. Don't use him as a way to get what you want. It's not fair." I choked, a sob building in my throat.

I was pulled against my mates chest as he soothed me, telling me it was ok, to let it all out - albeit in a worried manner.

"Lilly," Logan started to apologise. I cut him off.

"I don't want to hear it. Just go."

"Lilly?" Camron questioned.

"I said GO!" I shouted at them and fell back against my mates chest, crying harder.

I only faintly heard them leave.
