Locked Hearts - Complete

Chapter 2

Alex and I walk out of the Alphas office in a daze. We unconsciously head towards the lake behind the pack house. It's pretty quiet out here at this time of the morning. I have a couple of mothers to be coming in for check ups soon but I need to straighten out my thoughts before I can see anyone.

"Thanks for sticking with me in there. What's gotten into your dad?" I ask Alex. He rubs between his brows.

"I honestly don't know! He's still young and fit, healthy, there's no war on the horizon! I honestly don't know where he's coming from with this 'I need a heir' bullshit he's spouting! He's not looking at stepping down as Alpha, and we live for hundreds of fucking years, so me being 30 doesn't exactly make me an old man ya know?!" He says angrily while pacing. I nod at his words. The Alphas reasoning is ridiculous.

"And now, now I've pretty much lost my best friend because he's a controlling dick! We both know we don't feel that way towards one another, so you'll be leaving. I don't even blame you, if it wasn't for the fact that it's my future pack to look after, I'd be right there on the road with you!" He says angrily and sadly simultaneously.

"I'm sorry Alex. But I won't be able to stay. But let's go on this date so he can't give you a hard time after. What should we do?" I ask him trying to lighten the mood. He rolls his eyes at me playfully.

"Should we keep it classic? Go watch a movie, then dinner? Maybe to a club to dance? It's been ages since I've gone to a club?" He asks me, more excited now. I'm glad to see the anger recede.

"I've never been to a club! Let's do that for sure!" I say with a chuckle.

"Awesome, so the best time would be on a Friday or Saturday night. Which do you prefer?" Alex is so excited with the idea of going clubbing that he's bouncing on the spot.

"Friday sounds good. But to show that we're actually trying, we need to be seen out together, so how about we do movie and dinner on Wednesday night?" I ask him.

"You're going to milk this for a few nights huh?" He says with a laugh.

"Hey, a girls gotta eat!" I say laughing too. He sighs after a bit, looking at me sadly.

"I wish our wolves would take to each other, but mine won't accept a mating with you either. It would solve so many issues wouldn't it!?" Alex asks me with another sad sigh. I nod.

"It would. I love you. The boys love you. But it's not the romantic type of love. My wolf isn't even looking for love. She's had her mate, she's just waiting to join him at the moon. But she's happy for me to find a partner, she's still in need of sex, but no one has appealed to either of us in all these years." He nods.

"I haven't even met my mate, but the times I've hooked up with someone my wolf has given me a hard time about. I've been struggling to get him to let me get laid lately. It's fucking hard!" He says in annoyance.

"That's what she said!" I say cheekily. He laughs loudly.

"Shut up! You know that's not what I meant. Gutter brain!" He says. He pulls me in and gives me a tight hug. He kisses my forehead and releases me with a cheeky grin.

"Hey, maybe we can both find someone to get laid with at the club? Someone we've never met, and will never see again!?" He says wistfully. I laugh and shake my head at him.

"How about I just act as your wing woman this time?" I love how we can laugh and joke like this. He's like my gay best friend, only he's straight!

I might be a mum of two but I'm only 25. I still have sexual urges. I just haven't found anyone since Devin to sate them with. He's the only man who's ever been between my thighs.
