Hanson woke up in a motel room in Idanha, Oregon. This was the fifth town in Oregon he had visited. As Alpha of the Lupos pack he could have delegated this job to his gamma. Hanson however had to be in control. He had to know they would be safe wherever the pack moved too. So, he was visiting every small town in Oregon with highly wooded areas. Their pack had out grown their current property but their was no land for sale in the surrounding area.
At least Samson seemed happy about this place. He wouldn't shut up about this Xavia. She was supposedly their mate but Hanson didn't see that as possible. Not even a wolf knew their mates name before they met. Hanson thought it was just Samson daydreaming. Although, he didn't understand why Samson would want a Bloodwolf for a mate. They didn't even exist.
He finally blocked their link when Samson reminded him 'Yeah well your the first man to get me as your wolf in three hundred years. So, suck it cause I'm not dreaming'
After getting ready for the day. Hanson grabbed his wallet and keys. He had to meet with a real estate agent about some local properties. Then, if he found one he liked, a lawyer. Hanson knew he was in for a busy day.
Unbeknownst to him though Samson had contacted Xavia. As soon as he had blocked their link. Samson reached out saying 'My love, I feel you close.' In shock Xavia had asked 'Samson where are you?' As they drove past the post office Samson replied 'We are driving. Looking for property.'
Xavia was ecstatic she had waited for what felt like an eternity to see Samson again. She quickly responded 'We are working at the library. Please come see us. My human name is Isabella. I missed you so much. I Love you Samson.' okay she was officially rambling. Which only happened around Samson. That wolf set her on fire.
Once Xavia told him where they were. Samson forced the link open saying 'We need to go to the library. Isabella and Xavia work there. They are there now.' Hanson sighed loudly before saying 'Samson quit we both know that the Blood wolf is a myth. Stop this insane notion of your's and calm down.' Samson was trying to take over but Hanson had worked hard to learn control. Samson growled lowly linking Xavia 'My love my human is an i***t. He will not believe me. I am sorry.'
Then he chuckled when Xavia responded 'I will handle it. My human side listens to me. I will find you soon. Just let me work.' Samson purred beginning to send dirty thoughts to Xavia. As he said 'Oh, I do so love the way you work my love.' Xavia was panting at the thoughts Samson was sending her. 'Samson I have to work. You're so bad.' she told him. He grinned replying 'Alright, but you know you love my bad behavior.' before cutting the link.
The day went better than expected. Hanson had looked at three properties. Finally finding one he liked. Samson was refusing to speak to him. He knew it was because of the damn myth. At least he didn't have to listen to him go on about Xavia "The Blood Wolf" who didn't exist. Although, he would admit that hearing Isabella's name sent a slight shiver down his spine.
By three o'clock he called his beta to say "Hey Joey, I found the perfect property. It's in Idanha, Oregon." Joseph Ashford had been Hanson's beta from the beginning. Unlike most, Hanson wasn't born an Alpha he was the second oldest boy in the family. So, his older brother Danver took over their pack when their father retired. However, Hanson won his pack after killing their previous Alpha who was kidnapping she wolves from other packs. Then forcing them to become breeders.
Joey responded "That's great! So when do you meet with the lawyer?" Hanson was happy saying "I meet with the lawyer tomorrow morning. Then it should only be a week before the land is ours. After that we should be able to get everyone moved out here with in two months."
"Thank The Goddess!" Joey exclaimed. Then added "Alright well everything here is good. Just everyone bitching about how we need to expand. That's nothing new though." Hanson sighed, saying "Okay, so I'll see you soon." before hanging up. Hanson flopped down on the bed.
The motel room had a kitchenette but Hanson didn't know how to cook. So he was already searching his phone for local restaurants. He came across Idanha country store. Which was attached to a grocery store. Maybe he could get some microwave meals on his way back.
Hanson hung out watching television until about six o'clock. Occasionally nodding off at the same time. He had always been a busy person, never truly taking time for himself. So, this had been a vacation of sorts for him.
He finally picked himself up off the bed trying to speak to Samson he asked 'Are you going to ignore me for the rest of our trip?' Samson responded by huffing out 'Are you going to continue calling me crazy?' Hanson huffed himself as he climbed into the drivers seat of the car. Before saying 'I didn't call you crazy. I just don't believe in the myth like you do.'
Samson shut him out again. The drive was annoyingly silent. Hanson had gotten used to arguing with Samson but now Samson wouldn't even speak to him.
Pulling into the parking lot of the Country Store. Hanson felt Samson's excitement. He rolled his eyes as he walked through the door. There was no intoxicating smells. In fact, the only thing he could smell was the waitress's cheap perfume. It wreaked almost causing Hanson to throw up.
Samson was in the back of his mind with his paws over his nose. That was how bad it smelled, Samson would sniff s**t with no problem. The waitress's perfume bothered him, though. Samson linked Xavia their location. Knowing that she would find a way to get there.
Ten minutes later she linked him back saying that they were outside. He reopened his link to Hanson saying 'We need to go outside. I can't breathe. That b***h stinks.' Hanson couldn't help but agree so he asked for their order to go. Then told the waitress he would be right back. Walking toward the door.
When they had gotten outside Samson said 'Why don't you go ahead and get your microwave meals. I am never going in there again. EVER!' Hanson laughed as he said 'We have to go back for our order. We'll go to the grocery store first though alright. I'm glad you're speaking to me again.' Samson got a sly grin on his face. Thinking 'If you only knew.'
The minute they entered the small Country market a smell of heaven hit Hanson like a freight train. Nearly knocking him over in the process. It was a combination of honeysuckle and fresh cut grass. He immediately went looking for where the scent was coming from.
He turned at the final aisle staring straight into the most beautiful gray eyes on the planet. She was absolutely stunning. She had short brown hair with silver in it and had to be at least six feet tall. Her curves had to be illegal in at least three countries. He was frozen in his place. Not even able to form words. So Samson managed to take over marching with purpose toward her.
Bella was walking up and down the aisles of the store. Suddenly she caught the smell of mint 'SAMSON' Xavia yelled inside her mind. Bella froze, what was she supposed to do. If she walked away he would just track her. He had to have caught her scent. Though, if she faced him she would have to deal with Xavia going through rejection.
Bella turned just as a six foot six Adonis stepped in to view. 'Holy f*****g s**t' she said to Xavia. Xavia simply purred like a horny teenage girl. Then he was walking toward her like a man on a mission. Bella turned to leave as he said "Isabella, stop. We will not harm you."
'How could he know my name?' she asked herself. Xavia answered though, saying 'I told him, that's Samson isn't he sexy as hell. Just his voice has me ready. Goddess have I missed him.' lord she was rambling again. Bella let out a heavy sigh as she turned back around.
