Daniel POV
I walked through the halls of this house, knowing my way around pretty well by now. I have had a few conversations with Luna Lillian about Jo. We were both becoming worried about Hunter's fall from the perfect Alpha.
He was moody and abusing his pack members. I have tried to keep Luna away from him but there are still quite a few bruises.
Getting lost in my thoughts I rounded the corner to run into a small body.
"Watch it!" She growls at me. Making me growl back at the disrespect until I noticed her scent and the sparks bouncing off where we touched. I instantly locked lips with the gorgeous she-wolf in front of me.
"You should watch your tone towards Alpha's little mate." I say before kissing her again.
"If this is where it gets me I will speak to you like that every day" She replies pulling away with a sly smile. "You're Alpha Tyler! You are supposed to be Joselyn Rose's mate!" She spits out pulling further away from me. "I can't be here with you, Alpha Hunter will kill me."
"Hush now, what's your name?" I say trying to distract her. "Marni.." She says quietly and I stiffen. Marni had quite the reputation in this pack and all for the wrong reasons.
"I would have changed for you..." Marni says quietly slipping out of my grasp.
Before she could get too far I grabbed her hand.
"You are my mate Marni. I will not turn my back on you. I promise I will keep you safe. Go to Luna Lilly, tell her I sent you. Tell her you are my mate she will hide you until I am back." I tell her sealing my promise with a kiss.
"But Alpha Hunt.." I cut her off. "I will keep you safe from him that's why I am sending you to Luna." Kissing her again and giving her a little push to say run, she runs off to find Luna. I need to call Jo.
Alpha Hunter was kind enough to set me up with a soundproof office upon my arrival so I could run my pack from his house until after the mating. It was the best place to call her from.
I dial her Uncle's house number as soon as the door closes.
"Alpha Tyler. Who is this?" A gruff voice answers.
"Alpha Tyler sir. Nice to speak with you. This is Alpha Daniel. I need to speak with Jo and this is the only number I have for her." I say politely.
"Daniel! I have heard good things about you. I will call her in now and let you have your privacy." He replies losing his gruffness and instead using a light and friendly voice.
"Thank you sir." I reply. My father taught me to always reply sir with Alpha's who exceed my age as respect.
After waiting for a minute I hear a light cheerful voice. "Daniel! Did I not give you my new mobile? I'm sorry I will text it through now!" Jo says instantly getting distracted.
"What's up? Uncle said you sounded desperate to speak to me. I am not leaving Gabby for you. I'm sorry I just like her better" She jokes making me laugh.
"I met my mate" She instantly stops laughing. "Send her here then. She will be safe." Offering up a solution to my problem.
I sigh loving the fact that my new friend I hardly know is so eager to help me but hating that she will know what my mate is like. "It's Marni..." I let the sentence hang waiting for a response.
"She has to change. She doesn't and I don't care if she is your mate or not I will wring her neck!" She exclaims.
"You will still take her?" I asked shocked. "OF COURSE YOU IDIOT. She is better off with my threats than instantaneous death from my father!" Jo yells down the phone. Ouch.
"I sent her to your mother.." She cuts me off. "I will have Ben from my pack come and wait by the forest where my Uncle picked us up. He was Beta of this pack until I took over." She says hanging up.
She is so rude. I quickly make my way to find Luna Lilly when I hear crying and pleading coming from the lawn. I run to back yard and see Hunter standing over my mate who has a black eye.
"Please Alpha, I do not wish to be with him. He rejected me! Show mercy please!" Marni cries and cries louder as he goes to hit her again.
I jump in grabbing his hand. "I am arranged to mate your daughter. I rejected this pack slut so that could continue. You have no reason to treat her like this. I do not want her" I growl at him. I feel my wolf growl at me for calling Marni a slut but he understands why I have to.
"Fine. But if I find her near you I will kill her. Do NOT forget this PUP." Hunter growls at me before stalking into the house. His pack look on at me in disgust. I know what they are thinking.
Walking towards Marni I gently pick her up carrying her to the Luna to patch her up.
"Thank you" She whispers before passing out. I run to Lilly hoping my mate isn't too badly injured.
After reaching Lilly and calling in the pack doctor, we breathe a sigh of relief that she just passed out from being so scared. Being a wolf her bruises would not take that long to heal.
"Jo is Beta? That is good. That means she is being trained to take over" Lilly tells me.
"Yeah, she is sending Ben to where Tyler got her. She trusts Ben to escort Marni so I trust him." I tell her.
Lilly pulls out her phone and dials a number. "Hello brother... No she didn't tell a time... She has always been like that Tyler... You made her Beta you deal with it... HA! I will see you soon." She says hanging up.
"Ben will be here tomorrow at 4am. Make sure she is there. I will tell Hunter you are sending Marni away so she is not a distraction to your plans." Lilly tells me as she leaves the room.
Lilly and Jo have changed my life and without them I wouldn't be able to keep Marni safe. Once Marni is safe I know what I need to do. I just hope I still have the support.
Gabby POV
I saw Jo walk out of the Alpha's office looking lost in thought. "Hey hunny what's up?" I ask her wrapping my arms around her neck.
"I am sending Ben to father's pack. He has to pick up Daniel's mate so she can be safe here." She tells me planting a kiss on my lips.
"He met his mate! That's wonderful news Jo!" I tell her smiling. I thought Daniel was a great guy. I had spent some time with him over the years of him visiting and Jo avoiding him.
"Gabby.. His mate is Marni.." She says softly calculating my reaction.
"She isn't good enough Jo. She is a common slut no friend of ours." I spit back. Getting angry that she would even contemplate saving Marni.
"Well, keep an eye on her here. The minute she is up to anything bad I can rip her head off. She may surprise us both but at the end of the day, Daniel didn't reject her." Jo told me.
"Fine." I tell her not entirely happy with this turn of events.
I turn away from Jo when she tries to kiss me again and she growls at me. I look at her shocked until I see her smirk and with her quick reflexes she kisses me.
"JO!" I try to stay angry and know I've failed when she notices me trying to stop a smile and smiles even wider.
"That's my girl. We can't let Hunter kill Marni, Gab. Could you live with yourself now knowing and doing nothing?" She asks me turning serious.
"Of course not.. You're right Jo. I'm sorry." I reply kissing her. "When is she arriving?"
"Ben is picking her up at 4am tomorrow" Jo says holding my hand and pulling me down the hallway towards our room.
"And what do you think you are doing?" I ask her. "Getting in some quality time with my beautiful mate whom I love very much" She replies smartly smirking and pecks me on the lips. I roll my eyes at her reply but really, I'm loving my playful Jo.
