Going Against the Alpha

Chapter 14 -Time TOGO

Luna Ann’s (mother) POV

Claudette, sweetie, do you still need me to zip your dress? I gasp, and my hands come up to my mouth. Oh, hunny, you look beautiful! I can’t help the happy tears that are forming in my eyes. I’m trying my best to keep them from falling. The last thing we have time for is waterworks. She is looking at me like she isn’t so sure yet. In a very soft tone nervous tone, she asks, “Are you sure? You don’t think it is too much?” I glide over to her and wrap my arms around her in a momma wolf hug. Yes, I’m sure! It is perfect! I don’t let go for a good couple of minutes. It’s just been so long since she has needed me or cared about my opinion. I guess that is what happens when your babies grow into teenagers, then adults.

Honk! Honkkkkkkk! I let go and let out a small chuckle. I guess your sister is in the car waiting on us. I think we better get going.

Alpha Denver’s POV

Tonight is the night. I finally get to see my mate again. It has been three and half days since I have last seen Kamila. I have been going insane. I need to be near her. I need to see her. My beta Sam keeps reminding me we are in another pack's territory, and I need to keep it together. But I feel like a part of me is missing. If I do not see her soon, I might go insane. My wolf and I agree to this; if we do not see our mate soon, we will go to her. I’m not sure how much longer I can control him for, so to keep myself calm, I arrived at the dining hall early with my beta Sam. I was hoping to get some alone time with my mate before the dinner starts. I miss her sweet smell, her beautiful hazel eyes that take my breath away. Just the sight of her stops my mind from racing. UGH…. Where is she? People are already arriving. I can’t help but pace back and forth. My wolf is doing the same thing in my head.

“Denver, would you like a drink, or would you like to sit down?” I hear my beta Sam ask me. I don’t answer; I snarl my lip and give him a go-to-hell look. He mind links, “Dude, seriously, you need to relax the other alphas, and their betas are starting to stare.” Before I can answer, my wolf starts going crazy in my head, barking mate! Mate! Mate!

I take a deep breath in, smelling the air. I sense that sweet smell of cinnamon and brown sugar. I have missed that smell. I can’t stop my feet from moving. I’m already making a beeline towards her, and I haven’t even seen her yet. I know that I need to be near her right now. I go out the side door so no one will see me. I do not want anyone to follow me.

The minute I see her get out of the car, she takes my breath away. I can’t help but stand and watch her as she is laughing with her sister. Just as she was getting ready to walk in the door, she says “Shoot! I forgot my lip gloss in the car. You two go ahead. I’ll be right there.” I wait until I see Claudette and her mother, luna Ann, go inside before leaving my hiding spot.

Kamila’s POV

Finally found it! Suddenly a low growl comes from behind me. I turned around so fast it causes me to stumble backward into the car. Damn it! Denver! He takes advantage of my clumsiness and leans in, closing the gap between us. He now has both hands on the car cage me into my place. My lips part at his actions. My knees feel weak, like they are going to give out at any minute. He leans in closer to my neck and takes a deep breath in. For a minute, I’m mesmerized by our position, but I quickly snap out of it. Oh no, no, no, no!!! Before he can smell me again, I duck under his arm and take one step right and start heading toward the event. Denver, come on, we are keeping everyone waiting. My heart is beating so loud in my chest. It is practically the only thing I can hear. He grabs my wrist right before I can I reach for the door. “No, my princess, let me.” He says with a smile and opens the door. Thank goodness he didn’t ask me why I was in a hurry. I didn’t want to tell him I didn’t want him smelling me because I was sweating. That would have been so embarrassing. I give him a peck on the cheek, grab his hand and walk into the now packed event.   

 Everyone is still up mingling, which is great. I can relax a little and not feel so much pressure from people staring at us. There are a lot more people here than I realize there would be. I quickly scan the room for Claudette. When I finally see her, our eyes meet, and she is giving me a help me look that most sisters or siblings would recognize. Claudette and my mother were standing with three other males I did not know. My mother looked to be enjoying the conversation, talking, laughing, and nudging Claudette's arm every time she would laugh. As we are walking up to them I ask, What did we miss? “Kamila, Alpha Denver, this is Alpha Abram, his beta Lark of the blue blood pack, and this is Beta Mark of the night shadow Pack. This is my other daughter Kamila and her mate Alpha Denver of the moonshine pack,” my mother says. Hello, it is nice to meet all of you, I say.
