The Beta's Mate

chapter 2

I was finally done with my day my feet killing me as I had been standing on them for 8 hours straight. My stomach growling at the fact that I hadn't eaten since this morning.

I sat down in my chair and looked at my phone 5:00 pm. Just enough time for me to clean up and head straight to the pack house for the welcoming party. I did not want to go but I had no choice seeing as I was now one of the pack memembers.

Theese gathering weren't really my thing. I hate being in big crowds surrounded my people I don't really know and being hit on by the guys I really really hate.

"UUUGGGHHH" I groan to myself out load. I can't put this off any longer but on the bright side at least I will get to eat something other than my Ramen noodles or day old pizza. That has to be a bonus right?

I slip into my dress. It was a simple back dress nothing fancy but it had lace going down the back letting my bare back be exposed. My loose red wavy hair falling down the middle of my back. I gave myself a once over and quickly approved.

Good enough im just going to make a quiet appearance eat some good good and then I will be the first to leave. I put my heels on amd headed out the door.

The sun was just starting to set. The sky was lit up with hues of pink and purple not a cloud In site. I stopped taking a deep breath and letting a smile appear on my face. Just basking in the quietness of the nature within my my heart calming down.

" ugh hem" a loud voice interrupted me making me jump out of my relaxation. I turned around to give whoever this disrespectful person was a peice of my mind  when my body froze. The most amazing smell of rain and cedar hit my nose.

I looked up the most amazing man I had ever laid my eyes on. He had to have been 6ft tall. You could see his chisled body through his tight fitting suit. He dark chocolate hair and bright blue eyes.

"Mate" he growled his eyes turn dark brown

" woa woa woa who are you?" I squeaked out angry that my voice was letting me down. He stepped towards me and I took a step back. Hurt lining his eyes.

" I am the new Beta. Beta Xavier" he replied looking me up and down. Seeing if I was okay since I probably looked like I was having a heart attack or about to die. I could feel the blood draining from my face

" you have to be kidding me" I must have said aloud. The look on his face was like I had just kicked a sad puppy. Which in realty I probably just did.

" im sorry I didn't mean to be disrespectful.... I just...are you sure I'm your mate?" I said in Shock just looking at him surely he made a mistake maybe his real mate was just standing behind me and I was having one of those bad dreams where your having a conversation with someone only to realize they have been talking to someone else this entire time.

He started laughing. I mean like grab your stomach wipe your tears from your eyes type of laughing. I just stood there. Looking at him, trying to realize if this was a dream or if he was just insane.

" I mean I'm pretty sure. My wolf is going crazy. My heart is beating insanely fast" he took a step towards me
" and I can tell your heart is beating fast. Your wolf is going crazy inside of you to."

And just like that my face was blank all my emotion gone. His words rining in my head  " your wolf is going crazy inside of you to." I didn't have a wolf. If I did she was gone I can't shift. I can't hear her. And once he realizes that he is going to reject me. He must have caught on to my tension. He took a step towards me again and tried to place his hands on my face. I quickly avoided his contact and walked backwards.

" uhm well this is awkward. I don't have a wolf. Shes dead" I blantly told him. Confusion sparking on his perfectly sculpted face and beautiful deep sea blue eyes. I couldn't help but feel bad like I should have lied or went over and comforted him, but I just stood there unable to move ready for what he might do next.

" well go on? Get it over with it. I'm hungry." I snapped at him not able to take his silence anymore.

"What? Get what over with?" His eyes searching my face for anytime of meaning or awnsers.

" reject me. I don't have a wolf and you are our new beta. Surley you need someone who still has thier wol-"

He put his hands on my arms forcing me to look up at his wonderful eyes. Stopping me from completing my sentence.

"No you are my mate I don't want anyone else. I don't care if you have a wolf or not your mine!" He exclaimed with such passion . I almost melted into his arms right then and there. But the better half of me was confused.

He was a beta I was a hairstylist with no wolf. Wouldn't he want a strong female with a wolf? Preferably a warrior, nurse,doctor gaurd anything that wasn't a hairstylist?
As if he could read my mind he awnsered me

" I don't care if you have a wolf. That's not who I will be spending my life with. My sister lost her wolf when she was 15.."
I stopped him part of me wanted  to ask how his sister lost her wolf maybe that could give me awnsers.

But I couldn't he had just said he didn't care if I had a wolf or not he wasn't rejecting me. Any other girl would have been ecstatic but for some reason all I had was fear. My heart was beating fast I could feel the sweat forming on my body. My hand shaking, legs trembling

" please excuse me " I said running away not daring to make eye contact. Fear and embarrassment were radiating through me.

I just ran away from my mate. My mate. Two words I thought I would never say. Two things I thought I would never have and I just ran away from mine like a crazy maniac. Screw this im going home i can only take so much embarrassment for one day.
