Soul Mate

Chapter 23

River Blair.

I sped through the trees, my legs carrying me forward. Running was one of the things that made me feel alive, made me feel grounded. It helped me think. And this was what I currently needed.
While at the dinner, I'd unintentionally over heard Sebastian's entire conversation with his friends.
Blame it on the super hearing! I wasn't eavesdropping.
What Greg said left me absolutely terrified. I fled the dinner through the back door and sprinted to the woods.
The guy had basically said I had the potential to turn into a psychopath!
Can you believe it??
Me? Murdering people! The notion itself was making me want to vomit!
But there was a small part of me that wondered whether I would truly end up like Padre Gonzalez.
I mean, I was being possessed by my wolf after all.

I came to a halt near the stream. The water looked peaceful. It made me calm. I took in a deep breath of the cool air. It was definitely refreshing. I then took off my shoes and perched myself on a rock, dipping my feet in the cool water.
My thoughts wondered back to my wolf.
There's just no way zane was that dangerous.. he could be an ass at times but I was hundred percent sure he didn't possess any psychotic tendencies. I mean I would know, right? He's a part of me after all.

" If you really think I could hurt innocent people then your dumber than I thought!" he angrily says.
See!! An ass like I said.

" Am not doubting you Zane. I don't know what I was thinking. Am sorry."

" I would never hurt you or anyone else River. I would never deliberately cause harm to a person, unless threatened or defending us. The fact that you thought I was capable of such evil things hurts alot." he adds.

"Am sorry. I shouldn't have even entertained that absurd thought. Am an idiot, like you always say." I joke, trying to lighten the mood.

" You definitely are an idiot! But you're my idiot." he says fondly, and I can't help but grin.
My wolf was adorable.

" Think that again and I'll tell Sebastian how much you want him to fuck you!"

I gasp out loud!

" You wouldn't dare!" I exclaim.

" Oh please! I'd be doing you both a favour by speeding up the mating process. Goddess knows you need the help. If it were up to me, you'd be fucked good and mated by now. You're too slow! You haven't even gotten him to scent you yet!! At this rate, you'll take forever."

Can you believe this wolf!!

"We don't want him thinking we are a slut Zane."

" Don't kid yourself River,.. we wolves are sluts by nature. You're a wolf, he's a wolf. Mating is an instant process. You meet, scent each other, then fuck like crazy! You both are making this so difficult. You're doing everything wrong."

Were we?? Of course we were.

"So how do I fix that Mr know it all?" I ask

" Make him scent you. Once he does that, there's no going back. He will fuck you like no man's business! He will rip your hole and tear you up, but most importantly, he will mark you"

By the time he finishes, am so red in the face and definitely hard.

This wolf would be the death of me!

" The red color really suits you, you know! You should blush often."
A familiar voice startles me and I almost slip off the rock into the stream. Thank goddess I don't. I whip my head around and come face to face with Casper Reed, future Beta.

" For fucks sakes don't do that again! I need a healthy heart!" I snap at him.

He smiles, showing pearly white teeth. I bet he visited the dentist every six months.. they were abnormally white.

" Am 100% certain am not the guy who will cause you heart failure. Trust me!"

My eyes widen when I catch onto the sexual innuendo, and my blush deepens.
This was just too much.. I needed to get a grip.
His smile widens and I bury my face in my hands.
It was the first time I was actually talking to the guy and I was blushing like a school girl!

"Why are you here anyway" I mumble after I take my hands off my face .

He sits on the grass besides the rock am currently seated on, and starts to chew on a blade of grass.
" You disappeared from the dinner. Sebastian was worried. Sent me to find you and make sure everything is okay."

" Couldn't he come himself if he was so worried?" I ask, feeling Abit irritated.

" Oh he would have. But he had alpha duties that needed his immediate attention." Casper says.

" And you don't? Your the future Beta."

" My Alpha asked me to check on his mate, and that's what am doing." he says, flashing his dazzling smile.

The guy was truly handsome, with his short curls and brown skin. Not forgetting his green eyes.
But again, all Sebastian's friends were gods among men. Well except Shane the douche. I didn't even know why Sebastian was friends with him!

" Am good casper. Thanks for caring." I say sarcastically.
He laughs then, a deep throaty laugh that I found quite attractive.

" I like you already River Blair."

I smirk and say;
" Why! Thank you kind gentleman for bestowing your affection unto me."
Then we both burst into laughter.

Among all Sebastian's friends, I liked him the most. He was a good guy. I could tell. Sebastian did choose his Beta well.
" So, tell me how you scored the Beta position." I finally say, once our laughter dies down.

" You know how it works, don't you? I had to earn it. It didn't come easy though. It was like pulling teeth."

"That hard huh!" I say
He simply nods.

The Beta position wasn't like the Alpha position which was hereditary. Alphas had always been born in the Decker family. Since the days of my ancestors. Wolves were either born Alpha, warrior, or just the common wolf. No wolf was born Beta. The title had to be earned. A warrior wolf could become Beta if he worked hard and earned it. So could a common wolf. Though the common wolves rarely became Beta.
Casper was a common wolf though. Which is why he always fascinated me.
I always wondered how he managed to pull it off, survive the training and whatever terrifying things they were made to do. And now that I was having a one on one with him, I wanted to know.
Greta once told me they had to fight each other, till there was one man standing. Gladiator style.
Indeed it was like pulling teeth. Hard and painful.

Casper's voice then pulls me out of my thoughts.

"So.. how does it feel to be the Alpha's mate" he asks, wiggling his eyebrows.

And I push him into the stream.
