Warrior mate

Meeting Mate

POV Luka

I’m not sure how to feel about training with all the warriors today. I know I need to. I need to know all the warriors and how to work with them.

I’m afraid I’m going to be late to training since I wasn’t told what time it starts and my father decided to keep me in a meeting far to long.

Just as I’m walking up to the huge wooden doors that lead to the training yard, I hear Commander Tyler telling everyone that I’ll be joining today. I open up the door and everyone turns to me and submits.

I don’t like that they do this. These people are my family.

When I scan the crowd I’m met with Crystals blue eyes, she’s not submitting.

She looks like she’s having some type of an internal battle, and she won finally submitting.

I sadly have to wait til everyone submits before dismissing them, but I nod to her to tell her to not submit. I know she comes from an Alpha and so she has alpha blood herself.

Rules from my father that I intend to change once I’m alpha.

I dismiss them all quickly and yell out to quickly to tell Crystal, “I’ll talk to you after practice Crystal.”

She look so gorgeous, her black hair in a messy bun and the strength and confidence she’s shows.

Once I get into my group for the day I can’t keep myself concentrated on what I’m supposed to be doing.

I keep looking at Crystal, she’s amazing. She flips everyone so effortlessly. She’s so strong.

‘Alpha can we please focus so that our group doesn’t think we are weak?’ Jett my wolf asks. He’s to worried about what people will think about us.

‘Yes I’m sorry Jett. I just can’t help the feeling that Crystal is my mate.’ I can’t help just keep the frustration from my internal voice.

I want Crystal and so does my wolf. It makes us sad to not being able to have her.

I end up getting my head in the game and beat all of my group.

“We’ll done son. It seems you and Crystal over there have the same amount of strength.” Commander Tyler doesn’t even bother to keep the disgust out his tone when talking about Crystal.

I have to hold Jett back from growling at him.

“Yes sir, it seems so.” I nod my head at him before watching Crystal defeat another group.

She has such fragile features but such defined muscles. She can definitely hold her own.

Hopefully I’ll be able to train against her soon.

Once practice is over Commander Tyler starts telling everyone about second breakfast.

I’m not really listening until I hear him say, “except for Crystal.” Which make my blood boil.

“Commander Tyler I don’t now care what you have against Crystal but I would like for you to allow her into the cafeteria or I’ll deal with you myself. Maybe you should be the only not allowed to eat in there” I threaten.

I can’t bare to be around him any longer for the fact that I might rip his head off his body in front of everyone.

“Well Alpha if that’s is what you’d like then it may be.” Tyler says bowing his head to me.

I turn on my heal and walk inside before the crowd.

I wait to the right of the doors for Crystal to come in. She’s one of the last to Come in from the crowd.

As soon as she sees me her eyes are in my muscles. I laugh, “You look pretty good yourself.” I tell her and she blushes.

“I’m so sorry Alpha.” She tells me, and she seems so nervous.

Crystal smells like apple pie and cinnamon. Sweet, strong, and calming.

“Don’t worry about it.” I say and bump my shoulder into hers trying to be playful and we pause.

“Mate”

POV Crystal

Luka and I talk about everything and anything as we make our way to my house to talk to my mom.

Half way through the 30 minute walk, Luka insists to carry me bridal style. I tried to ask him why but he only covered my face with kisses.

“Luka this is cute but you know I have legs right?” I say with a stubborn tone.

I’ve always been independent, this is something new.

“I know my love but I want to keep you as close as possible so that I don’t run back to the pack house and challenge my father” he only gets angrier as he talks.

It scares me a little and I sink down into his arms and try to make myself seem smaller.

“Oh! Baby, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.” He apologizes and I can hear the regret and he pulls my closer to his chest and kisses my head.

I never thought I would be scared of a man when I used to stand my ground when they’d say something unreasonable. But being in this pack and having Alpha Collin abuse and r**e me. It’s all traumatizing.

Luka must decide to take a break for a minute because he’s walks strait to a large tree and sits down.

“We’re gonna sit here for a moment and just listen to the birds. We don’t have to talk.” He says kissing my head between each word.

My wolf has been bugging me to just kiss him already and now I think it might be my chance.

I rise up a little in my lap and lay my head on his shoulder. Luka moves his arm from under my leg and starts to move my hair out my face.

I look up at him and just smile. He’s so handsome when he’s doing this, he’s got a serious look on his face like he’s thinking about something.

“What’s on your mind?” I ask and look at him with watchful eyes. Hopefully he’ll open up a little.

“Just my father.” He says as his eyes switch from deep red and his normal hazel eyes. He has a straight face and I know it’s more than that. “He’s always been rude and abusive but I thought and hoped it was only with me. I would never wish it upon anyone, even an enemy.” He adds shaking his head and balling up his fists.

I can tell he’s beating himself up over what his father has done to me, so it’s my turn to sooth him.

“Oh no. I wasn’t aware he did it to anyone else, I thought it was only me because of what my father had done to him” I say shifting positions so that I can hug him.

Luka puts his face in the crook of my neck where his mark will go and takes a few deep breaths to calm himself. It feels nice.

“We’ll it seems we both have trauma from the same man, we’ll just have to work with each other to fix what he broke.” He says pulling out of the hug with a smile.

He has such a beautiful smile, his teeth extremely white and straight while one side of his mouth curves up more than the other. I can’t help but to smile back.

He puts his large hand in the said of my face and rubs my cheek while we look into each other’s eyes.

Next thing. I know his lips are crashing on mine. It’s tender but passionate. His lips move with such grace and my body responds like it’s was made exactly for him.

After a few moments of exploring each other’s mouths, we both pull back breathless.

“That was wonderful and I would love to keep the moment alive but I can’t forget that your hungry.” He says.

As if on cue, my stomach growls.

Luka laughs and stands up, still with me in his arms.

We spend that last 15 minutes of the walk in silence, enjoying each other’s presence and listening to wildlife.

It takes us longer to get to my house than it normally does since we went through the woods.

Once we make it to the lot of houses I have to direct Luka to which is mine.

The houses are set up like town homes. Very close together and all look the same.

Mine is the only one with flowers in the front, it makes it feel more living and happy.

We pass by one house that is always decorated for Halloween, Mrs.Karla Jennings. Despite her decorations, she’s pretty cool.

She’s out sitting on her front porch, I wave at her while we pass and Luka nods. Mrs Jennings waved back and bows her head to Luka.

“You know, I never liked when people do that.”he says to me.

“Don’t like what? When people submit?” I ask with a confused look on my face. Luka looks at me and chuckles.

“Yes, these people are my family and when my dad would get too drunk they would let me stay with them til he was sober.” He says with his eyes getting teary.

He shakes his head and controls his emotions causing the unfallen tears to disappear. He looked so vulnerable, so open.

We walk the next few steps in silence.

Once we get to the front door he sets my down on my own two feet.

“Stay here, I need to check how my mom is before you see her.” I say before giving him a quick peck in the cheek and leaving Luka at the dark blue door.
