The Destined Mates of Blu Pearl

Chapter 6

I looked at my clock and realized the morning had gotten away from me. I have that meeting with Ashley about a construction opportunity that would benefit both of us greatly. I mind link Travis to meet me out front and to get the car ready. As I approached, I saw my sister standing there looking extremely irritated.

“Me,l I don’t have time for this right now.” I say as I try to walk passed her.

“Oh no you don’t!” she places herself right in my path.

“Mel, we are going to be late. I can't afford to miss this opportunity because you are mad I am taking your mate with me. I cant afford to bring the extra guard right now, with the anniversary here and you guys being here, I just cant” I look at her waiting for her wrath.

She goes from furious to understanding in a matter of seconds. Travis is one of the best warriors we have. Taking him with me means I can leave the rest of the warriors here to protect the pack while I'm gone.

“He’s my mate, and I worry about him, but I also worry about you.” She looks up to me with tears in her eyes.

“I will bring him back in one piece I promise. We are only going to be gone for the day. I know this must be scary for you, Mel, but I have to take someone and Travis knows the human realm a lot better than I.”

I take her in my arms and squeeze her tight. She is always so worried about the what ifs. As I finish my hug I see Travis pulling up with the car.

Mel, let's go of me and run to open the door for Travis. They haven’t been mated but maybe 3 months. This is their first time being apart and him being in another realm has her all worried. We can’t mind link across the border. So, we rely on cellphones to do the talking.

“Mel, I will have my phone on me at all times, I’ll call you as soon as we get to the building. We are also going to swing by the new apartment building and see how they are coming along with it. It’s important that I go.”

He says as he pulls her into a hug. She pulls away and looks at him with so much love it makes me long for a mate I do not have. Travis locks eyes with her and pulls her in for a deep kiss. It’s like when they look at each other nobody else in the world exists. When I notice the kissing is getting a little heated, I had to step in. I do feel bad because as much as Mel is feeling this separation from him, Travis is also feeling the same. When you finally find your mate, it's like your soul has found its other half, and they never want to be parted again. Long separations from one's mate can have physical and mental affects on both of them. But we are only going to be gone a couple of hours, so we really need to get going.

“Travis, Mel, I'm sorry but we do have to get going if we are to make it on time.” I interrupt their make our session. If looks could kill, I would be dead from the look Mel is giving me right now. Uncomfortable in this exchange, I dip into the car. Happy to get away from her gaze. Travis laughs at me as I shut the door.

“I love you, Amelia Blu.” He says with such warmth and endearment.

She turns back to him, all anger gone, “I love you too, Travis. Please come back to me soon.” She leans in for one more kiss. She hugs him and whispers, "I'll be thinking of you all day, don't keep me waiting long.” She sneaks up and starts kissing his neck right under his ear. A throaty roar escapes. She giggles and pushes him towards the car.

“Your sister is going to be the death of me.” He exhales loudly.

“Yeah, well put that thing away or I'm going to be the death of you. It’s making me uncomfortable sitting next to you in that kind of state.” I said, looking out the window.

“What, you don’t want to compare?” He laughs while he rearranges his pants to cover his massive erection.

We drive for about an hour before we cross the border. As soon as we do, our realm is completely out of sight. Only supernatural beings can cross the border. It's invisible to anyone else. We pull up to this a dingy looking building with the Reach High logo on the front. The sign is broken, but it still gets the point across. I pulled the car into the parking lot and shut the car off. As I got out, I see a man enter the building we are heading towards.

“The old asylum looks more like an apartment building now.” Travis noticed as we walk by.

“Yeah, we need to go by after this and check on the progress.” I say as we walk towards Reach High.

The building is located across the street from this place, which is what caught my eye to begin with. I did some research and noticed it’s a program to help children who have either been fostered and need guidance, or children who have yet to be fostered/adopted and need a safe place. Since this program was so close to home for me, I too help orphans find a place in this world, I decided I would at least try to talk to the owner and see if we can work something out.

As I walk in, I make my way to the counter while Travis starts looking around, already assessing what he can do to improve this place. There’s a young woman standing behind the counter, she's staring daggers into this man's back. Her name tag says Tori. I look to see what exactly she is staring at when I see this girl. She is facing this guy completely unbothered. Whatever he is saying, it doesn’t seem to be affecting her at all. She is so breath taking I can't help but notice. She has medium length blonde wavy hair. She sits with such poise, it intrigues me. I don’t see many humans sitting with such grace. Tori took this time to acknowledge me, and I asked to speak to the building owner. The eyes this girl has are the most beautiful blue, they are mesmerizing. They stand out on her like a pearl in the ocean. Tori turns and leaves when I hear the other girl say “Well Brad, jokes on you. I only dated you for free coffee, and since you haven’t been bringing it to the office lately, you are kind of pointless. Go ahead and be with the sl** from the damn bar! I was only with you because I was bored, anyway. Now get out of here, and don't ever come back! Don’t let Tori hit you with the door on the way out!” I’m shocked by how authoritative she is without being too heartless to the boy who just broke up with her. I can’t help but keep staring even after she gets up and storms off.

Ashley approaches us and we start walking, “Thank you for coming on such short notice.” She says as she takes us to the office.

“No problem at all. This is a wonderful business you have here. We did notice something already that would need immediate work.” I look at Travis and he looked lost in thought.

Ashley looks to be about 30, with a medium build, black hair and brown eyes.She has been maintaining this place since her sister passed away a couple of years ago. I continue, “- if we were to take this project on, we would like to enhance the buildings' structure, leave everything original, but update it, so it meets code. I noticed the last inspection you had. You passed but only barely.” I said as I looked over the inspection paper.

“This will be quite a lot of work, so if we did this it would need to be empty while we renovate.” Travis takes this time to look at me and then says.

“We could rework the layout inside and make a place for the children to sleep. I overheard one of them saying they have to go to the shelter every night. We can make it so they don’t have to, but that would mean around the clock care for them.We could also use the back yard and make it a playground fenced in totally safe, and with lights so they can play after dark.”

Ashley looks shocked, she probably didn’t think we were serious when we reached out to her.

“Oh, wow. That is way more than we discussed on the phone, ive had tones of contractors come in here, they take one look and decide its too much work for the little I could pay them.” She looks nervously at Travis and me.

“That all sounds wonderful, but we don’t get many donations here anymore, most of this is coming out of pocket, the girls that work here have also put in whatever they can to help with this renovation. That all sounds very expensive.” She looks away fidgeting with her hands.

Ah, so those ladies have devoted their money to help these kids. It touches a part of me, as caring for others seems to be at the forefront of their minds.

I've also come to the understanding those girls are here strictly on their own, volunteering to help out, and they keep returning. Travis nudges my arm, and I look at him. He nodded in the direction of the lobby where Tori and that other girl are standing.

“What are the names of your volunteers?”

I look at her. She smiles like this is her favorite subject to talk about.

“Tori is the one at the counter, and then the other is Aphrodite. They have been coming here for years, even after I had to tell them I couldn’t pay them anymore.” She looks so sad, but genuinely happy that they are who she has.

“So Aphrodite is her name. She interests me.” Kade says in my head. I have to agree, that name suits her. Ashley's phone rings. She excused herself for the moment.

“What's with you, Aiden? You have been staring at her since we got here.” He asked me. “I don’t know, she just caught my eye and I can't help but look at her, she's beautiful.” I tell him.

He laughs, “Oh man, you’ve got it bad and didn’t even know her name until 2 mins ago." Taunting me to react. I roll my eyes.

“Aiden, on a serious note, these girls need our help. I think we should do this one for free. Completely remodel this place and make it a safe place for everyone here. They only have one rusted lock on the front door, they need our help.” I take a second to think. We were going to do this at a discounted price anyway, because we have a lot of extra materials left over from remodeling our clinic at the pack house.

“Okay, I would like to do this, but it's going to be on you to see it through. Is this something you can personally take on? With renovating the old asylum into apartments, I will need extra hands, and I trust your judgement.” He is beaming with pride.

“Of course, alpha.” He says excitedly. Travis loves projects, and this is one of the biggest ones yet. This place is going to need a lot of tlc. Ahsley walks in and starts talking to us about prices when he looks at me, and I give him the ok.

“We would like to get paperwork sent over and you can review it. We know you don’t have a lot of money to do this with. We would like to make the offer of doing this completely free.” He pauses.

“We will need the paper signed as soon as possible, we will set you all up in a building close by to continue everything. As long as you accept, of course.” He gave her his charming smile.

She just stares at us, not believing what he is saying. She turns to me, “Is this real? You want to do this for free? Why, what is the catch?” she asks.

“No catch miss, we see how hard you all have been struggling listening to the story of these two ladies offering their own money to help, says all it needs to. We are not looking to take this place from you, you will still 100% be the owner. We aren't looking for anything in return. We have the means to help, so please, let us.” I say.

“Yes, okay, yes I would love that, thank you so much. We were on the verge of having to close this if this meeting didn’t turn out the way I needed it too, but it turned out so much better. I will read the paperwork and get it sent over asap. There is a storm coming tonight, so I will send it over the following day.”

We all get up and started to move towards the exit. Travis is making notes about what he wants to get started on first, Aphrodite comes running out of the office. *BAM* She clashes right into me. If I wasn’t already aware of her, she would have taken us both out. I catch her by the arm and her smell hits me out of nowhere. Werewolf. She mumbles an apology without even looking up to me. I’m standing there shocked at the realization that she is a werewolf, working for humans.

“Did you smell what I did, or did I imagine it?” Travis asks me. We are making one more lap around the building to take notes to add to the construction contract. I want no surprises for Ashley when she reads this over.

“Wolf.” Is all I said. He nodded his head.

“There’s something about her that intrigues me. Kade agrees that something is up. He isn’t restless, but as soon as she comes near, I feel my heart start racing. Nothing is screaming mate at me.” I tell him honestly.

“Want me to see if I can find out anything about her?” He asks while looking her in that direction.

“Yes, report back to me soon, the storm is picking up and this place closes soon.” He nods and walks away.

About 30 mins went by. I am done with my list for now. Travis and I are leaving and heading to the apartments. There is still so much that needs to be done before we can head back. Travis is on the phone with my sister, reassuring her that he is still alright. After he hangs up, he fills me in on what he found out.

“It seems nobody knows she's a wolf, so what pack and where she's from is a no go for now. She had just found parents for one of her older kids she takes care of here, which is why she was in a hurry early when you too collided. I over heard Tori and aphrodite talking and they will be the only ones there. They really need to invest in some kind of security.” He says while shaking his head.

“Well, we are almost finished here for the day. Why don’t we send the workers home and stay at least for a little while? I would like to make sure they get everyone off safely, and then themselves.”

“You go it Alpha.” He says with a smirky smile. I don’t know what has gotten into him, but ever since he found out she was a wolf he thinks he knows something. He doesn’t know anything. If she were my mate I would be the first to know. I’m a damn Alpha.

It's been about an hour and the storm is in full swing now. Thunder and lightning fill the skies. “I’m going to run out and see if they made it to their cars safely.”

“Ok, I’ll stay here and man the fort.” He stood up and saluted me like a drill sergeant. I roll my eyes and exit through the back to be unseen.

I make it just intime to see Aphrodite get the last kid in their car. The power is out everywhere. We have our generator going, clearly the only light on the block. I see them heading towards our door. They have to be standing there for a minute when I hear screams. My body moves before my mind does and I am almost to them when I see travis standing there amused. I watched them all go inside, so I took this time to calm myself.

My mind goes back to the rogue attacks at my pack. My sister and then my mother were attacked relentlessly. I take a few minutes to calm myself before I enter the building. I was a little startled to see them in the entrance. I thought that Travis would have taken them upstairs. They are both just staring at me wide-eyed like they’ve seen a ghost. Ahhhh, that must be what startled them. This place used to be an old asylum back in the day. However, it doesn’t look like it on the inside anymore, but I can see why that would cause some nervousness. They explain that they asked for generators right as Travis was walking down with them. Once we decide that two generators will be given to them, we walk them over and help set them up.

Right as we are done hooking them up and making sure we showed them how they operate, we decide its time to go. Aphrodite goes to walk over one of the cords, but her foot gets tangled in the cord and she falls. I catch her by her wrist but we both tumble to the ground right top of me. I could have stopped this whole thing, but having her close to me is making all my senses go crazy. All I can think about is how her body molds to mine like it was made for it. She is mumbling something but I cant help but look at her lips. Im so lost in this moment when I realize we have been like this for a minute. Her shirt is soaked from being outside and her n*****s are standing to attention. Her hair is wet hanging down around us. She is on me now. My hands were still on her waist. I rub little circles where my thumb is, the feel of her skin is amazing under my touch. She leans in like she wants to touch my arms.

As much as I am looking at her she is also looking at me. I smirk at her knowing that I am making her feel the same way. My d**k is rock hard under her, she has no idea what she's doing to me right now. Our breathing is erratic and hot. When, all of a sudden, contact is lost. She is standing, so I decide I need to also. I go to get up and see my errection is still standing at a point.. Travis takes this time to look at me and then he looks down. I shake my head and he starts moving everyone towards the door, he is mind linking me all types of questions, while hounding me about my erection. We make it outside and the girls decide to take their own cars home. We make sure they get to the parking lot and head back to the apartments.

“That was interesting, wouldn’t you say Alpha A?” Travis says as we go through and turn everything off so we can finally leave for the night.

“I don’t know what that was, but interesting would be the best way to put it."

“The ceremony is coming up, who knows maybe she’ll be there?” He wiggles his eyebrows. I shake my head already tired of this conversation.

We made it to the pack house. Travis is greeted by my sister, eagerly waiting for him on the stairs. I walk past their make out session and headed straight to my room. I need a cold shower. I have thought of nothing else than Aphrodites' hips on me and her hands almost brave enough to touch me. Her eyes were so mesmerized by my body. I take my clothes off and get into the shower. My mind takes over my imagination. I need to release myself or I wont be able to sleep tonight.

The shower is hot and steam is filling the air. I start to picture her on me rubbing against my c**k. I grab some lube I had in my drawer next to the shower and put it into my hand and started rubbing my already hard member. I remember how her eyes were on me with her ni****s poking through her top. This thought alone has me almost on the edge already. I am stroking my d**k fast as I imagine her leaning into me, kissing me as I take her shirt off. A soft moan escapes me, and I work my hand fast in long strokes. I imagine me taking one of her hard n*****s into my mouth and sucking on them until they turn red. Rubbing the other to give it attention and then switching. Her withering on top of me completely unable to do anything but feel what I am doing to her. My mind goes to her bud, feeling how wet she is. Moaning my name and waiting for the pleasure to come. Before I can fantasize about anything else, I find my release. I c*m hard in the shower, seed spills all over my hand and the water washes it down the drain. Damn, that was what I needed. Maybe now I can put this behind me and focus on what is to come. The Mating Ceremony.
