Secret Mates

Chapter 4 Chads Day

Chad’s POV

Training was pretty much over already, but I was done for sure.

I’m sorry man, he never stopped walking this way until he saw you get sick – Brett mind linked me

Get it together son. You are making yourself look weak- My father mind linked me

I nodded to both of them keeping my eyes on the ground not daring to face either. I stood all the way up and watch the others as Brett paired off with someone else. They went on for about ten more minutes before dismissing training. I knew I needed to head out before father grabbed me. I took off back to the pack house. Once there I jogged back up to my room and took a regular shower before going downstairs and heading over to the pack’s school. It held kindergarten through twelfth grade. I graduate in just a couple month being that it is March now. I just got three more months to get through. It was normal for most wolfs to find their mates by 19 or 20 and get married and have a pup or two by the time they are 25 to keep growing the pack and settle down into pack life. I just attended Monday through Thursday and on Fridays we didn’t have class our senior year since we had our wolfs, we did a senior pack run every Friday. It was nice. Helps build unity. For us it was required but almost the whole pack would do it. With the war we had to keep it close and not many joined; most on patrol.

I jumped in my car and headed off to the pack school about 3 miles away. It was 8 on the dot when I ran into the doors and headed into my history class. I knew since it was Thursday, I only could avoid my father and his unreasonable expectations for one more night.

After school I headed home to start patrols. Anything to prove I am dedicated to the pack and its safety. I run out to swap shifts with Brett who had been on patrol since training this morning. Stashing my clothes in a tree while he shifted back to human form and grabbed his to put on. He shared there was nothing eventful to report for now and went on home. I trotted through my away watching and patrolling like normal. I knew I would do this late into the night like always. It would be about Midnight when I finished here.

More reports from the scouts came in. The other pack was holding steady for now, but we had gained ground in the last couple days, if we could hold it then we cold push in a week to gain more as our injured healed and returned to the front lines. My father hadn’t gone in the last couple weeks. Feeling like our Beta could handle that and returned here to handle other business. While we didn’t get along I as happy he returned because it always lifted my mother’s spirit. She loved him dearly. Just like any good mate would do.

It was about midnight and I had just been relieved by Scott another pack member just a couple years older than me. He was a good man. He also hadn’t found his mate but he also hadn’t ever left pack territory to look for her either. “Uneventful evening, Scott.” I reported to him.

“I can’t say that it will be the same for you.” He says raising his eyebrows at me. I knew some of my female friends would wait up on me to enter the pack house to keep me company, naturally attracted to me because of my Alpha blood. I small smile crossed my face, at least I would get some more relief tonight. “Tammy.” He said. “See you tomorrow night at the pack run!” I said as I jogged off headed into the pack house. I didn’t see Tammy downstairs but I did smell pizza. I grab a slice quickly and chowed down on it heading up to my room.

Opening my door I indeed found Tammy, laying across my bed in some silky blue nighty gown. It was a dress one, it was low cut. She had it hiked up and from here I could tell she wasn’t wearing anything under it. Her long straight black hair ran down in front of her chest and she had her make up down all the way up. I couldn’t lie, she was beautiful and I was glad she would be here with me tonight. Tammy I knew only slept with me and I never wore protection with her because she swore that to me in a blood oath since we were fourteen that she would only give herself to me until one of found our mates. This was before puberty hit me and the ladies didn’t notice me. She smiled up at me. “Hey Chad, ready for bed?” she asked me. “Sure am.” And just like that she was up and in front of me, her lips met mine hungrily. It was just moments before we both were bare and on my bedroom floor. Our time together was always steamy. I remember the day we both were of age now about a week after her birthday we met in the woods behind the pack house secretly wishing we were each other’s mates only to be disappointed, at least I could enjoy her now until we did find them.

Once we both had been overcame and satisfied with ourselves, we laid there for a while. My arm draped across her bare stomach. Her hand running through my hair. I am not sure how long we laid there like that; just that the darkness of sleep took me over and I hoped she would still be there when I woke.

The sun shining through my open window and birds singing out let me know I had overslept. I sat up quickly to find myself alone with a blanket over me still in my bedroom floor. Tammy had left without waking me. I glanced at the clock it was already seven thirty. I was going be late for school.
