Chosen to Fated

Who's Office?

Robert looks at me kind of the same way Terrance did, there's pity there. I didn't come here for pity though, I came here to start fresh. "Please don't look at me like that, Bobby." I tell him. He rolls his eyes dramatically and says "Please don't call me Bobby." he smirks when I hold out my hand and say "deal?" He takes my hand and pats it twice. "Deal. But I don't pity you - for the record. It's just -" he looks back at the notepad on the desk. "Alpha Terrance only left one note on the file for you and it said 'We didn't get him, he's still out there.' and now, I know that pertains to your situation." After he tells me this I find myself paralyzed, Celeste still isn't making much sense, but that got even her attention, she seems to be looking inward as much as I am. How could he have gotten away from that many warriors? He would have technically been a rogue, and they know his scent to begin with. As I sit there unable to move, I hear the chime of my phone to let me know I have a message, I worriedly pick it up to see a message flash across the screen from Sheera, thinking the worst I unlock my phone as quickly as possible and read "hey girl, homeboy here is not happy with the bottle - is my Alpha done grinding your gears yet?" I smile, relieved.

"Beta Rob, I need to get back to my son. Can I come back in for the oath with my son later?" I ask him without the hint of desperation I was feeling to get back to my baby and snuggle him. He smiles at me and nods his head. "I can't perform the oath anyways, has to be my Alpha." he tells me. As I walk out the door I remember that I still don't know who my mate scent belongs to. "Oh, Bobb-errrt.. sh*t, I'm sorry." I rake my hand along my face exasperated with myself. "Robert; who's office is this, by the way?" He looks a little bewildered at the very wrong nickname but answers nonchalantly "Alpha Ares office, why?" Sh*t, an Alpha.. 'Celeste; an Alpha?' I ask her in a pleading manner. I told you that Alpha sounded yummy. She replies, seeming a bit more calm than previously. I'm happy to know who he is, but our pup comes first. She tells me almost sternly, I agree with her. "No reason, just the smell, it's not your smell." I tell Robert innocently enough, as I start making my way down the hall back towards the entrance so I can get back to my baby.

*Sheera POV*

Damn, can't this girl come back already? She better have a d*mn good excuse for an introduction taking over an hour and a half. Maybe she's mated to Beta Robert? My wolf ruby comments on my inner ramblings. 'oh, yeah! do you think so? That would be hilarious.' I tell her.

Baby Brian slept for all of 35 minutes, and when he woke up to find me instead of his mommy, he pitched the biggest fit I think I've ever seen. He's been screaming and crying non stop for an hour straight. He won't take the bottle, he won't eat the baby Cheetos, he won't take apple sauce, just continues screaming. Finally I'm half way to insanity and I message his mom to tell her to come deal with this. I can't wait until she has mindlink, so I can just open the mindlink up to hear what I'm hearing. Then at least we can go crazy together.

Sean walks by the couch with earplugs in and mind links me "So, you sure you want one of these...things?" smirking at him I reply "what's so wrong with wanting to get in extra baby making practice?" And winked at him as he chuckles and walks away. I hear the front door open and bounce off the back of the couch to my friend. "Thank goddess you're here! He's been non-stop crying for an hour. What the hell happened to you?" I ask without a breath. She smiles at me and finds her baby in the playpen before picking him up and cuddling him close. Sh*thead Ruby comments, as the baby finally stops crying and it starting to drift back to sleep. 'Ruby, be nice. He's still just a pup!' I scold her. Moral picks up the bottle on the counter and dips it into his mouth, which he starts fervently drinking like he's starved. She smiles again at me and says "So, I found my fated mate." with a blush forming on her cheeks.

Knew it. Ruby comments. "Is it Beta Robert?!" I ask her, probably a little too excitedly, and she shakes her head and starts to tell me about the tantalizing smell in the packhouse and how it wasn't the Beta, and how she believes is Alpha Ares. "Sh*t girl, an alpha?!" I respond after I pick my jaw up off the floor. "I think so." she replies. "What?" I bite back. "How can you think so? I don't know if you knew this; but when you meet your mate you DEFINITELY know-know." I tell her.

She giggles and says "I obviously know that, but I haven't met the Alpha yet, I only met the Beta. But we were in the Alpha's office and his smell was everywhere." She tells me.
