The Alpha's Dream Mate

A little interference goes a long way.

Eislyn ~

After dinner, with all of the commotion, I was able to quickly get away. Even in heels with my tracker training, I’m a ghost if I want to be.

I just had to get out of there, my resolve was cracking, not talking to him or looking at him the whole night. The mate bond was kicking my butt. He also was gorgeous and a wonder to look at so gruff and masculine, I didn’t realize it was my type but I’m here for it.

When I made it back to my room, I shut the main light off so no one would disturb me. I went and took shower number 3 of the day and got ready for bed. I pulled on my trusty lady boxers and a t-shirt this time and snuggled into my very comfortable bed.

I tossed and turned for about an hour. Before I decided to sit up and ease my mind while sketching. As I sat up in bed mindlessly sketching. I realized exactly what, rather than who I was drawing. His jawline was chiseled, and he had a dimple on his right cheek when he smiled it was so cute. His eyebrows were full but somehow neat. I wondered if he waxed or was blessed, most men are just blessed. With the best hair, skin, nails, etc. His nose had a bridge on the slender side but wider nostrils. With his almond-shaped brown eyes, all I could think about was how intensely, he had looked at me on that balcony. His lips, his soft full lips, were a pinky brown color and tasted wonderful.

“UGH”…I grunted out loud, I’m never going to get any sleep with his face on my mind. His perfect, pretty face. I wonder what island he is from. I sat and thought about him, his family, his island. I had so many questions and we weren’t even speaking.

The next morning, after a solid three hours of sleep if that’s what you can even call it. It was currently five in the morning and breakfast didn’t start till 8 and the conference started at 10. So I had time, I slipped on my black workout shorts, and matching sports bra I added a white tank over the top of it. I grabbed some socks. As I headed to the bathroom to do my business I got a ping on my phone. Who could be texting me this early?

It was from my mom, “ Did you find your mate?, how is everything going?, text me soon. Oh P.S. Your father and I will be attending the farewell Ball with your sisters”.

Oh, goddess she’s going to lose her marbles when she finds out. I decided not to reply right now and just brush my teeth so I can go work out. After I finished freshening up, I grabbed my water bottle and headed to the gym.

This gym had an elevated track, free weight room, boxing room, a ballet room as well as various stretching equipment.

I headed to the room to do a quick stretch before warming up at the bags, I threw jabs and all sorts of combinations and I was barely tired. I lifted weights for about 30 minutes. Then I decided a 3-mile run would help me relax. Today would be a big day I was going to get to the bottom of all the drama with Ezra.

I was lost in my run, and that’s when I noticed a presence around me. I looked back and there he was stretching at the other end of the track. I decided to put both of my earbuds in, don’t ask me why. I knew I was supposed to be talking to him but I wasn’t ready.

I passed him on the track then he started to jog to catch up to me. He kept a nice pace, so I sped up just a bit not enough to tire. He caught up to me and we just stayed at that pace while I did my 3 miles. He never once tried to talk to me even with both earbuds in I would have noticed. It was finally my third mile and I was going to sprint for it. He seemed to be very aware of my plan because he started to pick up his pace as well. So I did what any competitive person would do, we raced.

Finally, we got to the last few feet of the 3rd mile and I had been keeping the lead, then I looked up and he took off and so did I. We finished almost neck and neck, with the win in his favor. I was spent after my vigorous workout and sweaty.

“You’re fast, he said,” I nodded, not to be rude but I was a bit winded. I had to push to win, that’s amazing”. He said to me with a smirk on his face. “

I have to go, get in a shower” gesturing toward my wet clothes. I began to walk off and he grabbed my elbow.

“Look, Eislyn I know things went from good to bad in 60 secs. But I want this and I want you. Can we please talk? I want to be honest about everything. I probably don’t deserve you but I hope you’ll listen and give me a shot anyway”. He rushed out almost like he was pleading.

I just looked at him, mostly for dramatic effect. But also trying to gauge the sincerity of his words. I knew he was being honest. I had planned to speak to him today anyway but I’m glad he broke the ice.

“Yes”. His eyes bugged out a little he must have been expecting a No. “ but first let’s get this conference over with”.

“Yeah… oh yeah of course”. He stated Then grabbed the back of his neck as if he was nervous to ask me something.

“Is that all”? I pushed.

“ Can I sit with you at breakfast and the conference, or just breakfast…or just the conference. It doesn’t matter to me you know, or not at all I understand if you need space”. He rushed out in a nervous frenzy.

I giggled, it was funny seeing such a big guy get so flustered.

“ f***k… s**t, real smooth Ezra”. He said under his breath.

“ I’m assuming you don’t normally get this worked up asking to sit next to someone”. I chortle

“I never get this nervous about anything or at least I haven’t since I was a young pup”. He told me with a little awkward grin.

I looked him square in the eyes and said “Yes” and walked away.

~Ezra~

I was a mumbling fool, you would have thought it was my first time speaking to a girl. I guess that’s the mate bond it makes you look as stupid as possible in front of your girl. How else could they stand us?

She said yes though, I was so elated and Roman wasn’t any better he was prancing around in my head, like a damn deer. But I couldn’t rain on his parade our girl said yes. I headed back to my room. Mind linking Frederick on the way back letting him know he was on interference duty today when it came to Tonya and her antics.

I showered and got dressed, I put on my signature black slacks and a white button-up shirt and I rolled the sleeves up. I rushed down the dining hall. The tables had been arranged from a long table down the center of the hall to circles. As well as breakfast being buffet style.

Eislyn hadn’t made it down yet so I took the liberty of making my mate's plate. I wanted to show her how much I care. The room was starting to get crowded so I rushed over to the line. I grabbed 3 plates. I filled them with sausages, eggs, and hash browns, then I grabbed tortillas. I decided to make us some burritos. I got a plate full of fruit and another plate, with biscuits, pancakes, and French toast on it. I sat our food down and dashed over to the cups, forks, and napkins. Luckily each table had water, orange juice, and coffee at it. I sat down and noticed Casey and Adir walk in, then followed by Maikiah and her dad. About 5 minutes later came Frederick after him came Eislyn, she was looking at her phone, staring very intently at it. Then she looked up like she could sense me.

She looked up and smiled her beautiful smile. She looked so good she had on a navy plaid oversized blazer, a dark wash jean corset top, with high-waisted olive green pants that matched the green lines in the plaid in her blazer. Her hair was just out and curly. And around the beautiful neck, she adorned a gold necklace. It just made me think of the jewelry I would buy her. I was snapped out of my thoughts.

“ Are those breakfast burritos”?. She almost squealed it was cute.

“ Yes they are, and I put chili sauce on them I hope you like it”. I said a little worried.

“ So apparently you just know me 'cause that’s my favorite breakfast food,”. She looked at me in awe. I was so proud of myself even with our bond not completed I already knew what she needed.

She took a big bite, and let out a sexy little moan that had me sporting a semi, luckily I was under the table. She looked so happy and I knew then food was my baby's love language. “ So you said breakfast burritos are your favorite breakfast, what are your other favorite foods”? I asked.

Swallowing her sip of water she replied “ Honestly I just like food I can find something to eat just about anywhere. But my comfort food will always be pizza and wings. For dessert salted caramel ice cream. It’s like my personal reset button”. She said I smirked she was so cute.

Then our table started to fill. First Maikiah and her dad followed by Frederick, I quickly noticed that wasn’t the order they arrived in only to look back to see Adir having a conversation with his Beta. After Adir and Casey sat down I realized there was one seat left and I needed it filled fast before Tonya got here.

I mind-linked Frederick “ We need to fill that seat and fast. He nodded. The next thing I saw, was one of my warriors from a different table move out of his seat but I also saw Tonya, she just noticed where we were seated. “Walk Faster" I linked the warrior.

She strode closer to us and I’m currently trying to figure out why I have the slowest warrior in the world. I’m going to add fast walking to our workouts if he doesn’t hurry the f***k up. By the hair of his chin.

“ Alpha, Luna may I sit with you”? "Of course", I practically shouted. As Tonya scoffed. Eislyn however looked at him like she just realized she was a Luna.

Eventually, we all got up and headed to the assembly hall for the conference. I could see Tonya trying to stay close so she could sit with us. The warriors had to stay at the top of the room which included Ansel. So I had to think fast. Eislyn, Frederick, and I were behind Adir but I quickly grabbed him and asked for the two seats to his left he complied without a fuss. Fortunately, I was away from Tonya. Which meant Eislyn and I were seated together but on my other side was Alpha Chad.

The conference went on and on for hours with two 15-minute breaks and a lot of side commentary from Alpha Brad. I was ready to go.

With 21 elders, there were a lot of topics to cover. Our government consists of, 7 head elders who are goddesses appointed to each continent along with their staff. 3 nomadic elders per continent travel from pack to pack. Where they perform ceremonies and other smaller infractions, with their traveling lunites and staff.

And we have the assembly speaker. Who runs the conference and keeps it orderly? The elders are made up of previous high-ranking members of different packs as well as omegas who’ve made their way up the political ranks. But those who want to be goddess-appointed go through a series of trials and have different gifts.

“ Before we conclude this conference we would like to end with some news from other communities, about the disappearance of some of their people. We have been asked as a community to keep an ear to the ground. And help if asked, Some of the people kidnapped are as young as 6. We are not currently sure if this is some type of trafficking ring. I must however warn all here, that if anyone is found to be assisting in these disappearances, you will be held to the highest degree of punishment. The speaker looked across the room with intensity as he pushed his aura out. And on a lighter note, I’ve been informed there has been a mating. I will not reveal whom but congratulations to the new couple”.

He said. Is he talking about us,?

In the commotion of everyone trying to leave and get to lunch, Eislyn turned to me. “So how do you feel about getting us lunch and meeting me in my room, so we can have that talk”.

“Yes”. I said
