Lily's POV

I hear him growling behind me, I can't stop, I know he'll take me away. I can't lose my pack. My thoughts were scrambled but one ran loud, piercing sharp into my mind. I'm an alpha too and I damn well wasn't going to run and hide. My wolf was growling in my mind, angry at the thought of our mate wanting us to give up the things we fought so hard to get back. 

I come to a stop in the woods at a clearing, everything is quiet, too quiet. I can smell him with every fiber of my being, he was here but he was stalking me. He was circling in the tree lines, his wolf trying to figure out if I was going to run again. "I'm not running, not anymore." I say, my voice filling the quietness of the forest. "Why did you run?" His deep voice asks, hiding in the trees still. His voice was gruff, deep and velvety, I could listen to it all day.

"I'm not going with you. I'm staying here, I have to." I tell him, my voice stern and firm, my wolfs power dripping off of them. He growls a bit, his eyes glowing from his wolf being right on the edge. "If your alpha is an issue, I'll handle him. He will have no right to keep to mates apart." He says, his eyes narrowing at the thought of someone keeping me away from him already. He doesn't understand that the alpha was right in front of him, he probably assumes the power he smells coming from me wasn't any higher than a beta but I'll prove him wrong, fast.

"Are you sure? I hear the new alpha is really tough, killed that false, demented alpha without even blinking and I don't think this new alpha will want to lose members so soon." I tell him, grinning internally as the words fall. "Don't worry, little mate. I'll fix it." He tells me, walking closer to me. In the moonlight I could see his features far more clearly. He was, to put it simply, handsome. He had a sharp jawline, high cheekbones, he was filled out and full of muscles, the very picture of an alpha. "What makes you think the Alpha will listen to you?" I taunt him. "I'll make him listen." He says, stopping right in front of me. The wind gently blew around us, causing my hair to flow around me and his smell to surround me. He smelled mainly of vanilla but with some pine in there too, it was heavenly.

"Are you threatening the alpha of this pack?" I ask, I was all for the games but if he did in fact say yes then he would be agreeing to starting a war for me and we just met. "If he keeps you from me then yes." He says, not realizing the reality of what he was insinuating but warming my heart nonetheless. "I'm hurt that you threatened your mate so quickly into our first meeting." I say, feigning a hurt look on my face, taking a step back. He looks so confused, his wolf immediately receding, wondering what went wrong. He had such a serious look on his face, it was like I could see the gears turning in his mind. "Your the new alpha?" He asks, admiration and disbelief shining in his eyes.

"That's me." I say grinning up at him, my wolf stood in the back of my mind, proud that our mate knew that we were just as strong, if not stronger than he was. "What....how?" He says. "I'm sure your familiar with the whole pack overtaking process. I fought that piece of shit of a man and won, this pack was in trouble under his reign. They needed me here. In light of that, I'm not leaving with you, I'm not choosing someone else to run my pack, I just got them back and I'm not leaving them." I tell him, my wolf sad at my words but understanding and agreeing with them herself, she doesn't want him to leave us or be without him but our pack was everything to us and he needed to understand that. "Why don't we join the packs together? It would be a lengthy process and we would need to make sure everyone was okay with it but I'm more than willing to do this so we could be together." He suggests. I think that could be a good idea. "Okay, but I have conditions." He nods so I keep going.

"Number one, I don't know you and I really want to but until I do, we will wait to join the packs until I agree to it. Number two, we each get our own beta's, you can keep yours and I'll keep mine. Number three, if you do anything to piss me off then I have a brother and a father that'll be here in two seconds flat to kick your ass, after I kick it myself." I tell him, firm on these conditions I have set in place. "Understood, princess." He says, grinning at me.

"I don't even know your name, you know?" He says walking closer, I could feel my body start to heat up as he closed the distance between us. "My name is Lily, and yours?" I ask. He puts his arms around my waist, leans with his lips on my ears, and whispers "Alex."
