Your Mate and Mine

You Can’t be Beta!

Nixie’s POV:

I had never had to sneak in before, Thom seemed to know where to go though - no surprise there - I thought, envious suddenly of all the past reasons he’d had to sneak in. 

Eva waved goodbye, she’d left clothes tucked away in the forest before going on her run, so she would be using a the front door. - lucky - again envious. What had gotten into me today? 

Our parents had taken our clothes inside apparently, which personally I assumed was punishment for running off when we were supposed to be the party hosts. 

I followed Thom round to under his window. 

“You’re kidding right?” I asked, looking up at his open window on the second floor of the house.

He grinned in his roguishly handsome way, flashing those perfect white teeth, and made my heart skip a beat. 

“I had them plant wisteria here for just this reason, before I’d spent ages working grooves into the wall here. Can you see?”he said pointing over to some rough indents I’d never noticed before. 

“I mean I never told them about the sneaking in and out thing obviously, I’d made up some rubbish about liking the smell or something... haha!” He rubbed the back of his head and nervously chuckled. 

“Don’t worry Thom, subtlety was never your strong suit.” I surprised myself by saying, instantly regretting it as his face fell. But then what did he expect me to say, as he showed of part of his man-slutting ways. - oh wow how clever you were to sleep with all those she-wolves. I don’t think so! 

His face fell, “well anyway... climbing up now that our wolves are awake should be a breeze.” 

He climbed first showing me where to put my feet, and I followed behind. It was quite easy and I definitely credited Lowe for that, before today I had been known to be quite the klutz. 

When I emerged in his bedroom he had already grabbed himself a pair of basket ball shorts and was holding out one of his t-shirts to me. I couldn’t decide whether I was pleased or disappointed; on the one hand it was easier to think without his perfectly sculpted chest, and huge member staring back at me, but I instantly wished he’d just be naked again.

“Diolch,” (Thanks) I whispered taking the top from him. It easily reached my knees because I was so much shorter than him. I loved the smell of it though, it would be like having him wrapped around me all day.

“I’m sorry,” I said gazing up into his eyes, “That was unnecessary, I mean it’s not like any of that’s going to continue, right?”

“Of course not Nixie, I would never betray you like that, you, me, and Eva, that’s it and nothing is ever going to break that. Of course I wish I had waited for you, but I never dreamed it would actually be you. I know I can’t change my past, but I promise you are it for me.” He cried, grabbing my shoulders and drawing me into him.

I caught my breathe at the closeness, and smiled up at his face, towering above mine. “I know, Thom. Truly I know I can trust you, and honestly... if you’d been any other way, you wouldn’t have been you, and we’d have had to march right through the pack house naked!” I giggled and felt him harden against me. 

“You’d better watch that giggle around me, beautiful, I might not be able to control what happens next...” 

He leant down and kissed me softly on the lips, gasped as the sparks shot through me, and then I giggled again at how much he had to stoop to reach me. Thom made a wanting growl into my mouth and lifted me up, so I wrapped my legs around his waist - this was better. Staring into each other’s eyes he earnestly said to me, “Saving myself would have been worth one nude return from the forest.”

I opened my eyes a little wider,  “but daddy, then all of those other Alphas would have seen me naked!” The growl of approval that had started at me calling him daddy, quickly changed into one of rage and possessiveness. 

I giggled even more seeing the look on his face, as he struggled with this hypothetical situation, “see daddy,” I said again, “It’s good you were this huge player, because these bad-boys here are only for you and Eva.” I stated cupping my large breasts and pressing them against his chin, through my top.

I already loved teasing him, even if I wasn’t really sure what I was doing, I was pleased with the result, as I felt his desire for me poking at my entrance. “We should go and find Eva.” I said. He nodded, and regretfully put me down again.

“This is another big day for....” I started to say, as we were leaving the room, before the realisation hit me.

“What is it?” Thom asked concern edging into his voice.

“Eva” I answered.

His whole body stiffened, “Is she okay?” 

“OH, Yes, yes I think so....” I tried to reassure, realising what he must be thinking.

“Then what’s wrong Nix,” he pressed, relaxing a little, but not fully.

“Eva’s a Luna,” I started. Thom nodded for me to continue, clearly missing some details. “She has a chosen mate, an Alpha, with his own fated mate. But that’s not the tricky part, like I said to you your past made you, well you, and its the same for her.”

“Then what is the problem, Nixie, they’ll part ways and you and her will be the beta females of White Star.” Frowned Thom.

I shook my head at him and his frown deepened. “Mum was telling Casey and me yesterday that Jade Moon is different. There's a reason her name is Jade.” I said. “When she gets divorced she’ll still be the Luna, its the other two who’ll have to step down. Don’t you see Thom? You and I will have to go with her, she outranks both of us. Which means... we’ll need to let Mal know that you can’t be his Beta after all.” 

His face made a small ‘O’ shape, and we headed down to find Eva, and make our announcements to our families. This was not going to be a quiet day.
