The Beta is my Boyfriend and the Alpha is my Mate

Chapter 3: Out of the Woods

Recap:

Wake up. Entered my head but it was a guys voice. I looked over at the clock and it was 11:27pm. So after about 5minutes of trying to pry Gav's hands off me I slipped out his room. I ran out the house very quietly to the forest. I pulled my clothes off making sure no one was around I folled them up on the floor. I shifted into my wolf and picked up the clothes and ran to the same spot I talked to River at.

He was there waiting in his human form. I shifted and put my clothes on behind a tree.

"I didn't think you were gonna show up"

Moana POV:

I sat there for an hour listening to River lecture me about wolves and how we were created to protect and how we are almost nothing like the ones off of Twilight and we aren't blood thirsty monsters who change just on full moons. Were just protective and powerful.

"Okay, okay! River I get it already can we go now?" He glared at me mad for interrupting him. but he just nodded. I started walking back to the house. He was taking off his shirt when he noticed that I wasn't going to change.

"Aren't you gonna change" he started walking with me. I looked at his shirtless body I felt as if his 6-pack was screaming to me so I looked away.

"No. I'm to tired, plus I just wanna for once take things slow" I don't know why all this information in one day is slowing me down.

"Okay" he said and started walking with me. it was going to take us a hour to walk all the way back to the house. We walked in silence for a while.

River cleared his throat "So where were you born?"

"I don't know"

"Really?" I nodded "Oh"

"I'f you are wondering about a birth certificate, it's a fake. It says I am from Phoenix."

Silence again... I usually love silence but right now its irritating.

"River what's it like having a family?" That made him freeze in his steps. I turned quickly to face him and spoke again "Y-y-you don't have t-t-to tell me if you d-don't want to I was just curious"

Why in hell am I so nervous and stuttering? I have never stuttered in my life!

"It's fine I just don't know how to answer your question. Have you asked Gavin?"

"Well yeah... He summed it all up in three words Lame and nosy"

"I see. Gavin's never been the beat around the bush kind of guy always gives his honest opinion. That's why we were great friends but that can also get very annoying."

"Yeah I know what you mean"

"How did you even meet Gavin?"

"When I was on campus one day I smelt him, a wolf. I was surprised he didn't smell me. I went closer to him he didn't smell me or even notice me. So I thought he was ignoring his wolf because he was talking up a storm with some brunette. I walked right behind her and it was like I didn't even exist."

I looked at River he looked very interested in the story so I went on "When the girl finally walked off I went up to him and he hit on me and I told him he was a terrible werewolf for not noticing me, as a rouge of course...he said he didn't care what I was. and we've been together ever since"

"Wow cute story!" he said with lots of sarcasm and anger. He stated to walk off. I grabbed his arm

"Hey you were the one who asked for the story!"

"I know that. But I don't understand is whyyyy you are even with him!" He yelled at me and was in my face

"Because, because he was the only person who EVER STUCK AROUND!" I cant believe I admitted that. It was the truth and it hurt, horribly.

"Just because they stick around doesn't mean they are good for you." He said softly

I felt tears on my cheeks, I fell to my knees and keep repeating it.

he was the only person who stuck around

he was the only person who stuck around

he was the only person who stuck around

the only one

I grew up knowing no one was going to be around longer than a week at the most. And Gavin has exceeded above that and surprised me.

"Just because he stuck around doesn't mean you had to love him."

"But he was the only person who's ever loved me, and ever will. I'm hated by the humans, and hated by the werewolves, and hated by my OWN parents! I don't even know why... Who else am I suppose to turn to?" I was crying and shaking horribly

"You can turn to me" He lifted to my chin so I had to look at him. He wrapped his arms around me. His arms felt warm and safe, I wanted to stay there. So I did. He was soothing and I fit perfectly into him.

Rivers POV:

I cant believe it hurts me inside just seeing her in so much pain. I felt connected to her in every way. I had to protect her, from everyone including herself. After she stopped crying she started to fall asleep. I lifter her up and started towards the house.

She looked so innocent and beautiful in my arms. She was more beautiful than what Gavin described. UGGGH Gavin! Crap. I cant tell him shes my mate. She will have to tell him. But she doesn't even know, and I cant tell her and scare her off! I heard Gavin's conversation with her yesterday. She'll be 22 soon and then she'll know. It's going to ruin Gavin... He is my best friend but she is my mate.

I will just teach her about mates and she will have to figure it out herself. Oh gosh I hope she does and fast.

I reached the house and saw Gavin standing by the front door. He rushed over to me and snatched her out my arms. I almost attacked him. But I kept my wolf in check.

"Where was she?"

"In the woods. I found her there sleep... Thought you would want her back" he nodded a thanks to me. Me carrying her to him would hide the fact that my scent was all over her. Her eyes started to open.

"Hey babe you alright" Gavin spoke to her before she could do anything Gavin put a forceful kiss on her. I felt as if someone was stabbing my heart.

I quickly walked into the house and went to the one person I could turn to. This would usually be normal but what I'm about to ask is going to make everything weird!
