An Honest Mate

Plan

Alesia

Seeing Grace the moment we walked in made my stomach twist. She had intense bags under her eyes, and you could just feel the pain she was in. Our Luna was in.

I don't know if it's a wolfy thing being able to feel your Luna and Alphas sadness or frustration, but I could.

I left my mate and ran straight to her, wanting to calm her down. When she said she knew I started feeling hot, tears stream down my cheeks. She rubbed them aside, and I saw her wolf show through. I smiled at her and saw straight through her.

Pain. That's all she had. feeling her anxiety and pain through her obvious distress felt like broken ribs and trying to breathe. The more you tried to breathe and calm down, the more pain it caused.

With every passing moment, it felt like death was emanating around us. I felt it, and I knew my mate felt it.

I will protect them. With everything I have. I linked to Grace.

I felt a wave of love and respect flow straight to me. It was overwhelming. It felt as if her entire heart was living through mine at that exact moment.

I looked down at my tummy, knowing my son was going to be her daughters first true friend and protector.

I couldn't figure out how she could make me feel love and respect when I could clearly see her in agonizing pain. She was going to be a mother without being the one to teach her daughter all of what she knows.

Something no mother or father should ever have to endure. Not only that, Luke will never know while he has his daughter for this short time.

I looked back to her and somehow felt the need to send my own emotions to her. A sense of full understanding that I also held her truth while they continued to live for their daughter.

I didn't know the extent of what'sto come, but I do know that whatever it is, it's going to be bad. A lot of people die amd that alone terrified me.

She nodded at me, and Luke ran to Grace.

I guess she felt it too. I'm not sure how it works sending emotions, but it worked.

I didn't even hear him coming in our moment of silence. He asked me to move, and I felt my wolf bow slightly understanding I was in between his mate who was in pain.

My wolf howled inside my mind, and I reached for Nathan. I felt his distress while he watched me console our Luna.

Whatever the h*ll is happening, I would like to know. He links, squeezing me tighter.

I can't. Nor can she. We have a job to carry out, and I hope we are strong enough. I need you to train me. I said, feeling urgent.

I needed to become a soldier and a warrior. All those bodies and deaths I will have to defend our kids. I would like to defend all of the children if I can. The Goddess didn't give me a whole lot of detail. Just that I had to protect them and that protection could be just their daughter or more.

I saw his eyes turn towards me, locking with mine. He lowers his nose to my mark and inhales. This has been a lot for him and a lot for our pack these past few months.

I will train you. I will train you like a royal should be trained. If this is from the Godess, I will do everything to protect you. Whatever it is, it's awful. Grace does not show emotion like that. She is stoic. This is a lot for even me. I can not fathom how Luke is handling this. When a Luna is in distress, the pack is in distress. I love you. He said to me. I could sense the urgency in his link.

I felt his arms tighten around me, and he glanced over my head to look at Grace and Luke. I could tell he was battling with himself. Both of them would need time to adjust to this new gift.

I love you too. I responded back to my mate.

Do they die, Alesia? He said through the link.

I couldn't answer him. How did the Godess think I could handle this job? I can't lie.

Okay. That's all he said. He understood my silence and lack of response. A tear dripped from my cheeks as I slowly turned to him, my eyes drained from emotion turned to him as I buried my face to his chest.

It's the vampire's it has to be. I will help train you and do my part. He said to me again. I hold him tight, inhaling his scent. Needing him to calm my nerves.

I look over to Grace and Luke, and they turn to us. Grace somehow holding a stoic expression.

"We will handle whatever happens as a pack and as its leaders," Grace said, mustering up as much confidence as she could. She reached out to Nathan. I heard his breath hitch and squeezed her hand in response.

"It'll be okay." She said. I felt him nod.

I turn to Luke and see how distraught he was. I look to him and smile towards him, and he nods at me. No words were said from him.

Alesia, I don't know what you're keeping secret, but I hope it's life or death. Luke states sternly.

Yes, Alpha. We just have to prepare. I said to him.

He tilts his head, scrunched his eyebrows together, and nodded. I opened my arms out to him, offering a hug, and he went in and quickly released me.

I hear Nathan growl lowly for a split second, and Luke chuckles.

" It's nice to hear that growl coming from you again. " Luke says. I hear Nathan exhale and lughtly chuckle.

I wink towards my mate and smile. This was a brief happy moment. I want to cherish it. I look to Grace, and she gives me a small smile.

Oh, Alesia, we can't live in sadness. This sucks but we have to start acting and be strong. It's what our pack and our future need. We will prepare them for the worst to give them a fighting chance. We must remain and act normal. I sigh at her words, knowing it's the truth.

If you act like it's chaos, it will be chaos. We will have to start training harder all across the board to prepare them. To give our pack a chance at least. I'm very new to this wolf stuff, but I have a feeling this will go down in history, and I will not allow it to be written as a slaughter, but a war well fought. I will train not only in private but alongside our pack.

I also want to discuss new changes for you. I want you in the most extensive training I can get for you. Grace linked privately.

I figured. I already asked Nathan to train me and to train me hard. He said whatever this is, it's going to be huge. He's in distress seeing you act this way. He knows something is up and it's not good. I'm sure everyone does. Let's talk later. We don't need any more stress at the moment. I said to her.

I felt Nathan's hand on my back drawing circles, and I visibly relaxed. We both needed each other after not only our almost loss, but our Lunas vision sending her in almost complete distress.

"I'm going to take Grace home. We have much to discuss, and I'd like to do it privately. " Luke said. And with that, they left quietly, leaving Nathan and I alone in our home with our baby.

Nathan quickly snatched me up and carried me to our bedroom.

"No walking up the stairs tonight with all the stress and almost losing our baby." I nodded at him with my arms wrapped around his neck. I wasn't going to argue with my handsome mate and I don't think I'll ever get used to the sparks I feel when he touches me.

Who knew this would be my life? A handsome man who loves me. God don't get me started on his gorgeously sculpted body.

A few months ago, I didn't even know if being a doctor was going to pay off. My family pushed me through it and I enjoyed being able to help patients after the long hours of schooling. However, I kept working at that bar thinking this pays almost as much as being a doctor with tips and I get better sleep. Sleep was all I ever wanted in med school. So it was tempting to drop out multiple times.

I chuckled internally at this thought and remembered my mates hands were on me, and I stilled at a thought.

Would he be in our lives helping raise our pup? I'm not sure. The godess didn't say he wouldn't. No matter what, we will do what we have to. The goddess trusts us to handle the future of our kind and our world. I nodded internally at my wolf. I'm so grateful to you. Girl, so am I, I'm so glad the goddess chose me to be a part of each other. I giggled at my wolf's agreement cherishing our bond.

"You and your wolf, alright?" Nathan said aloud.

I smiled, noticing he caught me having a private conversation. He smirked at me with that million dollar smile.

Oh goddess. I felt a heat pool between my legs as he set me down and rested his hand upon my leg. I saw his eyes pool dark, sensing my arousal. I smirk and bite my lower lip.

"Yes. You caught me. We were just agreeing on how handsome you look." I said, winking at him while leaning in for a kiss.

I felt the sparks travel around my neck to my breasts and then to my legs as his hands traveled slowly down my body, leaving a hot pool between my legs.

He picked me up from my waist and settled himself between my legs while kissing me urgently.

I traced my fingers over his muscular arms and chest moaning into him. This earned me a big smile and his hands gripping my a*s harder, pushing himself into me.

I was about to rip his shirt off, but he stopped me; getting up at lighting speed. I sat up on my elbows and cinched my eyebrows together, staring at him confused?

"You look so beautiful. I just wanted to look at you; all of you. You are so beautiful, and I'm so blessed to have been made for you. I want you to know how much you mean to me." He said sounding huskily with a low growl. "Come here," he said, not a hint of a question. I lowered my legs to the floor and got up.

I started walking towards him, never breaking eye contact. once I was right in front of him, he pulled me in so fast I couldn't pull away even if I wanted to.

He began moving us to the window, slipping his hand up my shirt. I could feel my n*****s get hard at his touch and leaned my head back as he brought his lips to my mark. "You're mine," He said to me, grabbing my chin and pulling It up to his lips, where he gently kissed me.

"I want you," I said so gently into his kiss. I felt my wolf scrambling to be let out and feel her mate, too. We wanted this. We needed this. After all the things we've found out and gone through in these short few days, we deserved this time together.

I saw him tug on his jeans, and I smiled, nodding 'no' at him. That was our job, not his.

"I want to f**k you right now Alesia. Come here. I want to f**k you so hard that your or*asm is heard throughout the pack." My breath hitched at his statement. No man has ever said and upheld this promise to me. A part of me knew he could and would.

He bent down and kissed me urgently still massaging my breasts causing both n*pples to harden at his touch and my arousal screaming for him to satisfy.

I needed him like the air I breathed. He was like a drug that I couldn't get enough doses on. It was like he controlled the dosage and allowed me to stay on it giving me just enough to keep begging for more. I loved it.

Nathan moved behind me and whispered in my ear. I shuddered at his tone it vibrated deep within me. "Let me f**k you" He said again more urgently. I swallowed taking in his plea. I didn't know I could be affected so much by this. My whole body was on edge electrified under his light tone and touch. I needed him.

I nodded and that's all it took. Nathan lifted me up and pressed me against the wall. I wrapped my legs around him squeezing him to me. I couldn't let him go after teasing me.

"I am going to touch you in every possible way. I want to taste every part of you" He said nibbling on my mark.

My breathing became ragged after I swallowed. The thought of his tongue exploring my whole body made me shiver and more heat pooled in my abdomen.

I didn't realize just how much I needed him. This wolf connection and s*x was just everything I needed after all the crap we've gone through.

He pulled his mouth back smirking. His eyes black with lust. I stood there reeling trying to catch my breath and wrapped my arms around his neck.

Nathan growled lightly and pushed me further up the wall putting my legs on his shoulders with one leg on both side of his face. My center at his disposal. I felt a warmth between my lips, and my head tilted back at the new urgency of his magical tongue moving in circles.

I felt his moan vibrate between my lips and a smile spread across my face. I felt the beginnings of the wind up start and began regulating my breathing to give me full access to my or*asm.

Nathan felt my legs start to shake and slipped his toungue all the way in earning a deep moan. I tried to grab onto his hair but ended up grabbing onto his neck pushing his face deeper into me.

"That's right babygirl c*m for me" he said soothingly. I smiled down at him as he looked up at me.

I motioned wanting down and he obliged my need. My legs still wrapped around him I pulled him in for a kiss tasting myself on his tongue.

He cupped my a*s and held me there moving me to the bed and positioned himself between my legs again. I flipped him over and grabbed his hands, pinning them to the bed and smiling at him. His beautiful eyes staring right back at me.

He licked his lips and tilted his hips up. I could feel his hard d**k rubbing against my center.

"I need you now," I begged him.

I saw his eyes meet mine and he then lifted himself up and allowed me to guide myself onto him. I felt his huge length slide slowly in expanding to fit him fully. I began to moan as he slid deeper Into me.

A low growl escaped his lips earning a huge smile. I felt his hands on my hips guiding them up and down. It was blissful.

We continued on three or four more rounds till we fell asleep into eachothers arms and woke to the alarm clock alerting us it's time for training.

Nathan and I took a shower together, rinsing each other off, allowing the water to wake us up and start fresh. We agreed I wouldn't be training this week till we knew for sure everything was okay for me, but he still had classes and men to lead.

He got called in earlier to go over the new safety protocol for every member of the pack to get more intense training no matter the rank.

I still got confused over the ranks inside the pack. I get why, but I still wonder what makes an omega different than a ranked member? I should ask if they're weaker or are able to move up. What makes a wolf weaker?

I brushed the thought aside and went to Grace's office and waited outside of her door with a folder in my hands with a note pad and paper. I had a feeling a lot of things would be said and done, and I sure as heck needed to write it all down.

I felt the need to throw up and rushed to the bathroom. The morning sickness is hitting harder, and I'm hoping it goes away sooner than later. It can last up to 15 plus weeks for some women and I just.. I didn't have the time or patience for it. I have a duty to my patients and now my pack. I can't be dealing with morning sickness over any smell. I hear Grace's office door open and her talking to some alpha who stopped by. I rinsed my face and popped in a mint, straightened my outfit, and walked over to her. The alpha stopped dead in his tracks and stared at me. I felt the aura of the royalty bond almost dance between us when I saw his mark. It looked similar to Graces and mine.

I looked up at him and felt his aura lesson, and it became welcoming.

" You must be my cousins mate. The newborn I hear? I'm Rapheal." He said to me as his hand reached for mine. I hesitantly shook his hand and was jolted to his chest. Surprised, I look up and peel away from his rock-hard chest and smile.

"Hi, yes, Alesia, it's nice to meet you. I'm assuming because of the power that's radiating off of you, you are the king? Grace's brother?" I said while he continued to hold my hand.

He looked at Grace and nodded his head.

"Yes, but it'll always be Raph to you. You're family now. I hear you're expecting a new Gamma?" He asked staring right into my eyes. He was tall. Taller than Luke and built bigger. Almost the same size as Nathan. Definitely similar genetics for sure. He had icy blue eyes with golden skin and oozed power.

I smiled at him meeting his eyes shocking him. Then I remembered Grace and Nathan telling me never to look higher ranked wolves in the eyes unless they have allowed you to or you are an equal, like gamma to gamma. It's a sign of a challenge. However, I didn't feel that way looking into his eyes. I felt safe next to him. Like he was some big teddybear with a title. I mean he definitely was powerful and I felt it, but he didn't seem like he would be threatened by me looking at him.

I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"You're beautiful and confident. A powerful attribute. Nathan is lucky." He smiled kindly. I smiled at him.

"Thank you." I said chuckling at him. Grace stood there watching us closely.

" I've been told my mate, my queen will be here to train you. She is the fiercest warrior I've met. Her father trained me as a pup. She offered. Grace told me she got her gift and I'm not sure of the details, but she told me it was life and death. You are the key to our survival. Dinner tonight at 8. See you then. Bring Nathan. It was nice to meet you." He said smiling at me with his eyes glazed over.

What an interesting man. I watched him walk away with my eyebrows pulled together and then turned to Grace, who was almost smiling ear to ear.

"Yeah that's my brother. Super direct and to the point and then leaves you hanging. Drives me up the wall." Grace said laughing.

"Curious fellow huh? How does his mate handle that?" I asked her. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled. I smiled with her.

"Come on." She waved me through the door.

"Look I want to know what you saw? I want to know how much the Godess told you. Then I would like to make a plan." She asked while walking around her desk to her chair. She stared at me waiting for me to respond.

I tucked away a strand of hair and looked down. I cleared my throat and began explaining everything. At the end she smiled and took my hand reassuringly and said,

"We will prepare you. Only you and I will know when the time comes. You will take the kids and run. I will place get away bags strategically at locations only you or I can get too. They will have information. If you grab one of the bags they will have adresses to 3 safe houses. you won't be going to them. Those are for them to realize it was a trap. The safe houses will have bombs and traps for those invading. Inside the stitching of a the bag will be a transcription to a location. There will be a bible in the nightstand. Once you get to the human bible it will have an adress for a safe house under the kings protection. Our world won't check human things such as that. He knows only royals are allowed to enter those homes inscripted insode the bible. With your mark you will be able to enter and accept visitors. There you will be safe and you will know when to leave. The goddess will come to you one more time. When I tell you to run I mean it. Do not go to any of those houses. And Do Not come and save us. If the vampire's find one of the three backpacks they'll start there. Each backpack will have one adress stitched into it. They will be different and an alarm will be sent to you if anyone sets foot onto any of the properties. There will be other safe houses you can go too if the one you get gets detected. I doubt you'll need that though." She said so matter of factly.

I simply stared at her. All of this was so.. so much bigger than me. I had to train harder while being in my last year of residency. Goddess only knows why she chose me. Grace's instructions were clear. Train, know the plan and stick to it.

"Alright, when do I start all the prep work with you, the queen and Nathan? I need to finish my residency God knows I might need the doctor side of me." She nodded in agreement and my breath hitched. She might know something more about that. Someone close to us might need saving outside of this plan. Our babies?

"Do you know why I was chosen to be this person? Why as a doctor? Who needs my skills in all of this?" I asked slightly alarmed. Just as she was about to respond an alarm blazed through the whole pack building.

"An attack" We both said standing up in unison.
