Rufina’s Alphas.

Boys will be boys

Getting colder by the second I was growing impatient. I didn’t know what was going to happen, all of a sudden I felt burning through every inch of my body. So much heat I was on fire. It started at my toes and worked it’s way up, every bone felt it was breaking. My body contorted and twisted and cracked until the pain became so immense I was numb. My eyes were blurry and I was dizzy, I didn’t know it would hurt this bad. Excruciating pain went on for what felt like a lifetime but was in fact about 3 minutes. I opened my eyes to see my shiny sleek crimson coat, with black flecks on my puffy tail, I no longer felt cold or burning I felt so free. I pranced around in the snow practically dancing, revelling in the euphoria I was feeling. I jumped and hopped and rolled around on my back feeling this feeling of bliss for as long as I could. I knew I couldn’t stay like this much longer and would have to ensure the pain I just overcame. Slowly but surely I shifted back, undergoing the burning sensation once again but this time I embraced it. I scrambled for my clothes and whipped them back on and began to scurry back to the bar.

Creeping in and closing the door behind me I tied my apron back on and got behind the bar. I greeted some more not so friendly customers and showed them to their table. I huffed and clambered back behind the bar to finish my hours. I crouched down to retrieve more glasses and when I came back up Caleb was standing over me.

“Oh!” I exclaimed startled, I jumped back clattering the glasses on the floor. I looked down and decided they could wait until I spoke to the soon to be alpha. Something was different. A smell. A smell that wasn’t there before. He smelled like peppermint and chocolate, so strong I could almost taste it. I looked at him inquisitively, my eyes blinking at him unsure on what he had changed.

Caleb’s POV

I sighed as I sipped the last of my whiskey wondering what on earth Ezekiel was blabbering on about. I had lost interest about 20 minutes ago when he continued to speak about pack law over and over again.

“I need another drink” I huffed and slid out from the booth.

“Grab us one as well” demanded Ezekiel. I looked at Zion who was grinning and nodding at me. I nodded and began to work my way through the tables to the bar, being stopped almost every 2 seconds to have my ear talked off by some desperate shewolf. Approaching the bar my wolf became restless, I could smell cinnamon and coconut so sweet and so strong. My mind started going a mile a minute, eager to find where this smell is coming from, this couldn’t be my mate could it? I’ve waited a year and still no luck in finding her, we were all becoming increasingly worried that she or they would be far away from us and the pack. We still didn’t know if we had a mate each or one to share. Getting closer to the bar the smell grew stronger and sweeter, I was almost salivating at the scent, my heart beating out of my chest I widened my eyes scanning for a possible connection. Great there was no one at the bar. But the scent, it’s here. Licking my lips I could almost taste her. Quickly, out popped the flaming red headed who served us. She screamed and dropped the glasses she was holding, her big blue eyes looking up at me intrigued. It’s her. The scent. I began scratching the inside of my palms as my wolf begged for her, practically feral now at the sight of her. She was truly beautiful. Her olive skin complimented her crimson hair perfectly, she batted those pretty eyes at me cluelessly. Did she know?

Zions POV

“Caleb is taking his sweet time” I joked with Ezekiel.

“Yeah he’s probably - wait” he stopped. His eyes widened and he darted up.

“What? What’s going on” I questioned

“Do you smell that?” He asked

“Smell what?” I asked as a draft from the back door blew the sweet smell right to me. Cinnamon and coconuts, I was drooling. My hands unsure what to do with themselves.

“Is that-“

“Our mate” Ezekiel interrupted. “Yes it f*****g is” he said excitedly. I couldn’t stop searching the room with my eyes desperately looking for her, when I see her I would know. A whole year. A whole year without our mate and we’ve finally found her. Why now? Where has she been all this time? With another male? My wolf started to growl inside me burning like a fire, jealous thinking about anyone else touching our mate except us.

“Look!” Shouted Ezekiel.

I darted my eyes in the direction he pointed, Caleb was standing at the bar blocking my damn view as usual. Then I saw her. It couldn’t be her. There’s no way I would have known this earlier today surely? My mouth curled into a grin, wet with saliva I licked my lips excited by the her. Crimson. Crimson was our mate.

Ezekiel POV

I stared in awe past Caleb and right at her. Her smell so sweet I didn’t know what to do, all I know is that I need her now. I’ve waited far too long to watch her from afar, she was stunning. Her shiny cherry hair perfectly in place, falling by her stomach, her piercing big blue eyes batting away. She was perfect. She was so perfect I couldn’t take my eyes off her. I had to get closer to her, the scent of coconuts and cinnamon drawing me in. I was hooked on her already and I hadn’t even spoken to her yet. God. That voice I couldn’t wait to hear that voice. I stumbled my way to the bar and joined Caleb with Zion approaching with me. I couldn’t stop the grin on my face, I probably looked like an i***t but at this moment in time I didn’t care. She needed to know who we are to her and how we could make her feel, I would give her everything she wanted and more.

Rufina POV

I stared in awe as these three gorgeous men stood over me practically drooling over me. I didn’t know what to do. Their muscly arms bulging out of their shirts, propped up on the bar, I could feel myself getting warm and weak. What was happening?

“Boys” I said casually, still batting my eyes at all three of them. I watched as Zions eyes narrowed, focussing on my lips. Caleb gripped the bar a little tighter with his finger tips and licked his lips slowly. Ezekiel let out a soft gentle moan as I spoke, his eyes rolling a little.

“Do you know who we are?” Asked Zion.

“Yes” I giggled “my alphas” I said softly as I looked down.

“No darling, well yes, but not just that, you’re our fated mate” Ezekiel said. I chuckled and blushed a little. I watched as Ezekiel’s eyes grew wide and he nibbled on his bottom lip a bit. My wolf softly growled at this.

“It seems that way doesn’t it boys” I teased “My names Rufina, If you didn’t know” I stated my eyes wide, I licked my lips and looked at the three boys pining over me, practically breaking the bar below them to get to me. I chuckled softly and blushed.
