The Jade Wolf Prophecy

Chapter Fourteen- Rose POV

    It felt right holding Brandon’s hand and walking down the stairs to where everyone has breakfast together. Well the members of the pack that live in the packhouse or couples that do not have their own pups yet come here to eat, then go to work or training. 

    The dining room was to the right of the stairs on the other side of the kitchen, making it easier for the Omegas to serve the rest of the pack members. We walked in and sat down at the Alpha’s table but the Alpha and Luna weren’t here yet. 

    Brandon stood and cleared his throat getting the attention of everyone in the room, there were about three hundred of our pack members in the room with us. They were looking at him with curious eyes.

    “I know some of you may know, but I have found my mate and your future luna. Now she is a bit shy, so be friendly. Rose please stand.” I did as he said.

    “This is Rose Monroe, your future Luna.” He said in his Alpha tone, there was so much pride in his voice, it just made me want to melt. The members of the pack bowed and cheered. There were of course some she-wolves glaring at me. I wonder if Brandon had relationships with them in the past.

    “Don’t go getting insecure, he is proud to be our mate!” Jasmine sang in my head.

    “Oh my goddess Jasmine, you are okay. I have missed you so much.” I said to her.

    “I have been here, I was just weakened and needed rest.” She said. She was happy about what Brandon said and about him being close. 

    We started eating our breakfast, then suddenly a woman squealed loudly causing everyone to look at her. She ran, jumping into Brandon’s lap, wrapping her arms around him. I couldn’t suppress the growl coming from me. 

    Brandon looked shocked by this woman and he pushed her off of him and stood up. She finally turned to look at me, she had long blonde hair, almost platinum and big doe brown eyes. She was tall and slender, she was pretty and touching my mate. Comparatively I am sure she looks better.

    “Crystal if you could refrain from ever touching me again, I would appreciate it. It is disrespectful to my mate. The future Luna.” He said coldly.

    At that she stormed off in a huff. I was completely shocked by everything that just happened. He wasn’t at all interested in her and told her not to touch him. In my mind I was doing a happy dance. It was short lived though. 

    Suddenly there was more yelling. The next thing we knew we were graced with the presence of that Crystal woman, the Alpha and Luna, and another man I’ve never seen before. 

    “Brandon and Rose can you both please come to my office so that we can discuss this like adults.” Alpha Peirce said, hisvoice laced with annoyance. 

    We both got up and headed to the office. Once at the door, Brandon grabbed my hand and kissed me on the top of my head. It was very reassuring.

    “What is this? My niece was supposed to be your Luna, not this little girl.” Said the other man. He looked in his late fifties, with dull brown eyes. He was short and chubby, but overall looked like your typical uncle.

    “Alpha Ridgewall, what gave you the impression that your niece would be our Luna?” Alpha Pierce asked.

    “They have been dating and have had relations for quite some time. She informed me that when young Brandon returned that he would announce her as his luna. They are mates, are they not?.” Alpha Ridgewall said.

    “Alpha Ridgewall, I’m not sure what Crystal has told you, but we haven’t been dating or having relations. Period. We aren’t anything at all. Rose is my mate, end of story. If you or your niece can’t respect my mate, then you both are free to leave.” Brandon said, grabbing me and we left the office and headed back to his room.

    Once we made it back to his room, I avoided looking at him. I wasn’t sure how I felt right now. He promised another woman would be his Luna. He has been in contact with her this whole time. I felt stupid thinking that he would want only me. 

    I looked around his massive room.  The oversized bed taking up one wall. On the other side was a nice sitting area. There were three doors on the opposite side of where we were standing, I assume one of those was a bathroom. 

    “Can I use your restroom? Or I can leave if you want to be alone, or..” I began to say looking down.

    “You aren’t going anywhere. You will live with me from now on. You know how the mate thing works Rose.” He said, grabbing my arms and pulling me close, the tingles running up my arm where he touched me. His eyes pleaded with me to stay. 

    “Okay, I just assumed you would prefer Crystal.” I said quietly. I needed to know the truth though.

    “Crystal is a psycho b***h who created a relationship in her head. There isn’t nor was there ever anything between us.” He said, clearly frustrated about everything. 

    I put my hand to his face and he leaned into my touch. Breathing in my scent, he slowly began to calm down.

    “I am not trying to push you Brandon. I just want to know where I stand and what history is between you and her. I’m your mate and now there is another woman saying you said she would be your Luna.” I said calmly. 

    He sighed and began to speak, “Crystal has been after me since I was fourteen, she is two years older than me. It was really weird, but she wouldn’t stop. One time when I was sixteen my friends took me out to a party, I had no idea she was there or why she was. But I had been drinking, my first time drinking at all. She took advantage of the situation and began kissing me and trying to do more. When I came to my senses, I pushed her away.” He looked down, obviously he was very uncomfortable about it all.

    He continued, “She told everyone we were dating and she became obsessed. She is one of the reasons I asked my parents to let me study abroad. I was hoping time away Crystal would find her own mate or forget about me. Clearly I was wrong. I don’t know how she knows I have come back. I didn’t tell anyone and you were the first person I saw.” He said, still not looking at me.

    “Brandon, it's okay. I’m not mad and thank you for telling me all of this. I’m sorry I got jealous.” I said. He gets this mouth watering smile on his face.

    “Oh you got jealous, huh?”

    “Maybe a little.” I said blushing. 

    We spent the rest of the afternoon getting to know each other. Learning about our likes and dislikes. Just like a normal couple it was nice. Once it was dinner time we headed back down the stairs. Alpha Ridgewall was there but his niece wasn’t there though.

    A warrior came rushing, bowing his head, “I’m sorry to bother you Alphas, but both of the prisoners have escaped.”

    s**t.
