Sandy's POV
Myself, Jenna and Rick made our way into the packhouse after our brief exchange of words. I have always felt bad for Rick as he has to often pass up school and social hangouts to help his dad out with the family business now that he had come of age just three months prior. We made our way past the hallway where various paintings of the past Alpha's hung. Once we were past them we entered the kitchen where a few older pack members were but they paid us no mind as we gathered ingredients to make some lightweight sandwiches and some snacks. Being careful not to scratch the granite counter tops we made our food before sitting at the table and eating in comfortable silence.
"You girls want to go for a run after this, we haven't gone in nearly a week," Rick asked and my wolf Sasha perked her ears up in my mind and sent excited energy through our bond. "Yeah, sure my wolf can't wait to be let out" I agreed quickly." Yeah I could run too," Jenna said flipping her blonde hair over her left shoulder. After that, we finished our food quickly before leaving the house and stood at the edge of the forest which surrounded the packhouse. I went behind a tree first before removing my clothing and shifting into my sandy coloured wolf before stepping out to see Jenna's light brown wolf and Ricks dark brown wolf.
I walked over to Jenna and pulled her tail and then pranced over to Rick and headbutted him before I darted into the tree line. Soon enough the three of us were racing through the trees avoiding low hanging branches and the dead logs on the forest floor. We broke through the tree line into a clearing before I picked up the scent of another wolf and left Jenna and Rick to investigate. When I found the wolf it was a grey male and quite a large wolf at that his scent was wafting the other way as the wind was not on my side. He could tell I was there as he was looking straight at me so I had no choice but to reveal myself. I trotted over to him in a submissive posture, as I got closer I could tell that he was a pack wolf and not a rouge so I was not in any danger of an immediate fight.
Jay's POV
Oh my goodness, shes here. I kept still as she walked over to me submissively. A disapproving grunt left my wolf as our mate should always be our equal. I walked over to her slowly and watched a recognition shined in her eyes as she got a better reading on my scent and her tail started in a slow wag. She nibbled under my chin before wacking my face with her front right paw. We then started playing like pups until her friends found us and she went to the packhouse. I can't wait for her to finally recognise the bond between us as I doubt I can keep it to myself much longer.
I ran back to the Alpha house which was away from the packhouse before shifting back into my human from and entering into the house. When I entered I went straight to my older brothers room where he was still strapped up to a bunch of medical devices. He had protected the pack with his life and paid for it dearly, I would be taking over the Alpha position once one of my mates was in my arms however the position was meant to be my brothers. I had to come back home after his accident after studying in a different country so I could be here for the pack. Many of the pack members had not been informed of new turn of events as they haven't seen me for a good four years. I sighed pulling myself out of my thoughts before giving my brother a fleeting look and then moving towards my own room. I started to drift as I heard my parents come in before I was in the land of my dreams.
