Online Mating

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

“Say something Iris.” May pleaded but Iris sat quiet staring at her with her big unblinking eyes.

“This is your fault?” May nearly missed it when she spoke the words being stolen slightly by the raging wind.

“Yes but I’m so sorry! I’ll fix this don’t worry; I promise I’ll get you home and you can find your real mate all on your own I won’t even tell you his name.” May moved towards Iris but pulled back when Iris flinched.

“You know who my real mate is too? You’ve ruined my life for your own selfish reasons!” Iris’ voice rose uncharacteristically at the end. Iris never raised her voice she was like a mouse, a girly giggly mouse, but a mouse none the less. Before May could say anything Iris went wolf. May could see the surprise in Iris’ eyes, she’d never gone wolf from being so upset before she was the calmest most controlled werewolf there was.

Iris let out a snarl and turned to put her back to May facing the corner of the cage and listened to the radio over the rain. On a normal occasion it probably would’ve calmed her down but Devin and Noah had put on some rock music that just seemed to agitate her more. May sat in her own corner crying and hugging her knees.

“Did you hear that?” Noah asked.

“Hear what?” Devin responded.

“It sounded like a snarl, probably nothing.” Noah replied as he skipped to the next track.

“Hmm well in any case, I suppose we should turn this off unless we need to communicate again since the weather’s being rather noisy and we need to stay alert.” Devin turned it off to be met with muffled crying noises that were probably heart wrenching sobs seeing as though that was what could be heard over the traffic and weather. He shared a guilty look with Noah before putting the music back on.

After over a day’s worth of travelling, a few toilet breaks and putting some food in the back that always remained untouched with the bottles of water they were nearing their destination. Devin drove to his grandparent’s house; since they had passed his parents had kept it ready for when Devin would settle with his mate while his child was the new beta.

He turned down the old dirt track road and drove and parked up by the side reversing the truck so the back was facing the house. He took out the dart gun in case either girl tried run for it. Noah climbed out of the cab first and took the tarp off the cage. The whole pack’s village looked like a large housing estate with an iron gate to get in so no humans would walk in. The village had shops in it but the shops are so far in that humans wouldn’t be able to see. This meant that for the most part the werewolves could shift wherever and whenever they wanted as long as it wasn’t in front of the gate. Devin’s grandparent’s house was even further in surrounded by trees as it was one of the first houses of the settlement so stayed secluded even from the majority of wolves so nobody would know they took a pit stop before bringing the girls in.

With the tarp removed Devin and Noah immediately felt terrible with Iris in a corner wolfed out making growling noises under her breath, like she was muttering to herself and May hugging herself crying. They had no clue what had happened, the best that they could think of was that their alpha female had taken charge and had gone for May. They were torn between being happy that their new alpha female had some fire in her or pity the girl who’d been protecting her from them for whatever she’d done wrong.

Devin cleared his throat and May looked up, she hadn’t even realised they’d stopped this was it she had to get Iris out. She wiped her tears she couldn’t show weakness not in front of these people. Devin made a motion for her to get out with his head. May crawled forwards not liking being naked in front of those that weren’t from her pack. As she got to the open door of the cage she made like she was going to jump out of the truck but instead jumped at Devin.

Devin got knocked to the floor landing on his dart gun so he couldn’t use it. As Devin had been brought up well by his mother he wouldn’t hit a girl so he tried push her off while protecting his face. It didn’t work though as even though she had been friends with Iris, May was a true tom boy and if there was a fight when they were kids May was straight in there. Noah froze in shock while he watched his Beta getting wailed on by a girl.

“Iris run!” May screeched as she continued raining her fists down on Devin. Iris turned around finally realising what the hell was going on and made for the door. But May’s yell also snapped Noah out of it and he shut the door right in front of Iris’ nose.

Next time May swung her arm back to take a hit Noah grabbed it and pulled it behind her back before grabbing her other arm in a move equally as swift so she couldn’t break his hold. Noah pulled her backwards off Devin and on to her own feet. Iris sat at the door watching wide eyed I mean it’s not like they were friends anymore but she didn’t want to watch her friend get held down while one of them beat the life out of her.

“Are you going to do as you’re told now?” Noah asked. Devin sat up rubbing his face and pushed his nose back in place before it swelled up. May nodded and hung her head when she realised Iris was still in captivity. Noah let go of her and offered Devin a tissue to wipe the blood from his nose.

Devin picked up the dart gun and they let Iris out. Devin led the girls to a bathroom on the second floor to get cleaned up before they were presented to the Alpha. He went into his grandparent’s old bedroom and into the closet. In their community there was no point throwing away clothes when they usually get torn up anyway. He grabbed too old fashioned floral dresses it’d be more presentable to their Alpha if his Alpha female was in a feminine outfit that covered her properly anyway.

The girls cleaned and dried themselves in silence, when they opened the door two dresses were thrust at them. They pulled the dresses over their heads and smoothed down the cotton fabric.

Devin walked behind them with the dart gun back to the truck. When they’d gotten outside they were met with the site of Noah carrying wet towels away from the now dry truck. Again the girls were put back in the cage while Devin got back in the driver’s seat and Noah dashed back from putting the towels back inside. Noah clambered in and they were on the road again.

It was about a ten minute drive until they turned up the gravel driveway that forked into two different roads each leading to a mansion that seemed to be identical from the outside. They pulled up into a garage but as they drove past the windows and woodland surrounding it the girls could feel eyes watching them.
