The Jade Wolf Prophecy

Chapter Eight- Rose POV

    I can sense them returning to our house. I couldn’t believe my mate was the Alpha’s son. I’m pacing in our living room. What if my dad gets into trouble or if I’m going to be rejected today? I know Milly said she knew who my mate was but I wasn’t expecting this. 

    “Rose, can we at least talk with them? Adonis, his wolf sounds nice. He said they will protect us and help us.” My wolf, Jasmine said.

    “How can you be so sure, Jasmine? What if my parents ask me to keep secrets from my mate? Mates don’t do that to each other. What if I’m a bad mate?” I asked.

    “Rose, you are an emotional wreck. Calm down. Adonis said that they will help us and that your father told them everything. I think you should at least give the Alpha a chance to talk before getting so wound up about all of this.” My wolf said. 

    After a few deep breaths, I could smell my mate again. Rain and pine trees, home for me. It instantly calmed me just by smelling him close. I closed my eyes and took a few more deep breaths. I heard the door open but I wasn’t ready to open my eyes yet. I wanted to feel the calm his scent brought me.

    “Open your eyes Rose.” Jasmine said to me.

    I opened my eyes and there he was standing in front of me. He was the most handsome man I have ever seen. He stood a few inches taller than my dad. Probably 6’4” or 6’5”.  His jet black hair standing up in all different directions, his amber eyes deep and calling to me. I couldn’t look away from him. Just overall he was incredible looking. 

    I noticed a lot of different emotions passing through him, thanks to one of my powers being an empath. I felt happiness, confusion, anger, possessiveness, and need.

    Finally, he spoke. “Can we talk?” He said. There was hope in his voice. I couldn’t find my voice. All I could do was nod my head yes and he grabbed my hand and led me outside to our porch swing. Sparks and tingles running up and down my arm. I didn’t want them to stop. They were both soothing and exhilarating at the same time. 

“Your dad told me everything, are you okay?” He asked, there was so much serenity in his voice.

    I looked up at him again. I couldn’t help but to get lost in his eyes again. The flakes of beautiful gold calling to me. After about a minute I finally found my voice. Jasmine laughed at me in my head. 

    “You know you are the first person to ask me that.” I said, chuckling to myself, blushing from embarrassment. 

    “But yes I think so. I mean Jasmine is restless and I caught my kitchen on fire.” I said, he looked shocked at me. 

    “How did you catch your kitchen on fire?” He asked.

    “Umm well I have a lot of magic within me and I can’t always control the outbursts because my emotions are so heightened now being both witch and wolf. I was angry and yelling at my parents because I don’t want to be homeschooled, but everyone is saying it’s for my safety.” I said. 

    He didn’t say anything for a while, so I thought it would be best if I just came out and asked the question lingering over me. 

    “Alpha, are you going to reject me because of all this?” I asked, I couldn’t help the little bit of sadness in my voice. I looked down now, I didn’t want to see his face again if he was. 

    “What? No, of course not.” He said quickly. I still didn’t look up at him. 

    “Rose, look at me, You were made for me by the Moon Goddess, you are my soulmate. I’m just trying to think of ways I can help you.” He said, I couldn’t help but stare at him. 

    “Your scent helps calm me down.” I said, looking at my hands. 

    “That’s good because your scent calms me as well. It brings me a peace I don’t think I’ve ever felt before.” He said, looking at me, making me blush again. 

    “Alpha, do you know where I can go to let Jasmine out to run but not be seen by others? She really needs to run. It’s important that her and I train more as one.” I asked him

    “Rose I am your mate, just call me Brandon please. And I do know of a place. I explained it to your father earlier. I told him I would take you both tomorrow morning. I wish I could take you today but I have matters I need to discuss with my dad. Plus they don’t even know I’m home still.” He said laughing a little bit. 

    “Thank you, Al-uh Brandon.” I said. 

    “Wait, they don’t know? Oh my goodness I’m so sorry for keeping you. You should go home and see them. We can meet in the morning.” I said quickly, not even sure if he heard me because he didn’t answer right away. 

    “I will only after I get a hug from you first.” He said, smiling at me. 

    “Okay.” I said, a little nervously.

    He stood up and grabbed my hand, pulling me into him. I felt the tingles burst throughout my body. It was like electricity was circulating from me to him and back. I couldn’t stop myself from melting into him. He was my calm that I have been needing. 

    I willed myself to look up at him. He was smiling down sweetly at me. I couldn’t stop the blush creeping up my cheeks. I buried my face farther into his chest. This caused him to chuckle.

    “Rose, we will go at your pace, we will go as slow as you need. But I will be here for you no matter what. I will see you tomorrow.” He said gently to me. 

    “Thank you Brandon. That means a lot to me. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.” I said smiling. 

    “I need to go now to see my mom. She has been linking me nonstop, because she knows I am back. I told her about you. Rachel and my mom are so excited and wanting to know if you would be willing to come to the pack house for dinner on Sunday?” He said, there was hope oozing off him in waves again. 

    “They already know?” I asked surprised he had already announced to people that we are mates.

    “Of course, I’m happy that you are my mate. So will you come to dinner?”

    “Yes, just let me know what time.” I said, we hugged one more time before he turned to leave.

    “Hey Brandon, thank you.” I said.

    “Anytime babe.” He said with a smirk. 

    He started taking his shorts off a few steps from me. I couldn’t help but squeal and turn away. He laughed at my response. After a couple seconds I heard bones breaking, then a growl. I turned to face Brandon again. But now there was a massive beautiful black wolf. He had piercing yellow eyes. He was beautiful. I couldn’t stop myself from reaching out to him to pet him. 

    “Hello Adonis.” I said smiling so big my cheeks were starting to ache. He growled back a hello in return. Then turned from me and took off into the forest. I stood there after he left for a while. I felt lonely now that he was gone. Wishing I could have him come back but I knew he needed to go home first. I would see him in the morning anyways.
