Tristan
Me and Hazel had fallen asleep in each other's arms I swear I had slept better being next to her, I wanted to bring her some breakfast in bed so I slowly pulled my arm from under her not wanting to wake her and quietly threw some clothes on to go down to the kitchens, last night was amazing it had never been like that with anyone else she had taken me to places I didn’t know existed just by being her, I closed my eyes and my c**k twitched at the memory I smiled to myself and headed down stairs the cooks where already prepping breakfast “Alpha” one of them nodded at me in greeting eyeing me suspiciously “can I help you?" he asked "yes I would like two breakfasts to take upstairs but I will help get them ready” I answered brightly he looked slightly taken aback by my pleasant manner most of the time I stalked around brooding so I guessed it was a big change “its ok Alpha I will do it for you" he smiled "no I would like to help just tell me what to do” I said clapping my hands together the cook looked at me in shock I don’t think I had ever been into the kitchens let alone wanted to help he handed me some plates and a batter mix and asked me to stir while he got toppings for pancakes ready, when the mixture was ready he started to cook the pancakes in the pan I placed everything on a tray to take upstairs getting some orange juice aswel “there you go Alpha” the cook handed me a tray full of pancakes and various different toppings "thank you" I smiled at him and headed off to take Hazel some delicious smelling breakfast, on the stairs I passed Polly “morning Alpha" she greeted me cheerfully giving me a knowing look "morning" I replied brightly, I entered my bedroom Hazel was sitting up in bed she gasped when I came in the room “Tristan I wondered where you had gone what do you have there?” she asked with a c****d eyebrow "breakfast" I announced with a grin placing the tray on the bed in front of her and sitting opposite to join her “this looks amazing! Thank you” she gushed it was one of the happiest moments of my life taking care and pleasing my mate, we tucked in to the delicious breakfast and devoured the lot “omg I could eat that every morning” Hazel groaned stretching her arms up over her head “you can if you stay here" I quietly muttered looking at her intently wanting nothing more than to sleep with her every night and wake up with her next to me every morning making love and being blissfully happy together, she smiled shyly at me “carry on like this and I may just have to!" "can I take a shower though" "yes of course, I’ll go and check if your brother has bought you any clothes yet” I kissed her lightly, since last night I could feel our connection was stronger and I wanted to touch her all the time but I pulled myself away from her not wanting to be overbearing, I showed her how to use the shower went down to check if Joe had bought her some things, I basically skipped downstairs to the front door in the best mood I had been in for a long time. “did Joe leave some things for Hazel yet?” I asked Brett one of the guards at the front of the pack house “yes Alpha I have a bag here” he grunted handing me the bag “thank you” I told him he looked at me shocked, I walked back upstairs to Hazel when I got back in the room she was still in the shower so I left her things on the bed and made sure she had a towel in the bathroom. I wanted to wait until she was out before going to speak to Damien but he had been mind linking me asking to speak to me for an hour so I opened the bathroom door a crack and shouted into Hazel “Hazel I’m sorry baby but I need to go and speak to Damien, I won't be long and I’ll come back here for you, your bag with clothes are on the bed for you” I shouted in “ok” she shouted back then I closed the door and went to my office where Damien was waiting for me, I heard voices as I neared my office, I walked in and there were three wolves including Damien all talking in hushed tones they fell silent as I walked in eyeing them suspiciously “whets the problem” I barked at them sitting in my chair behind my large oak desk my mood instantly lower from seeing the three of them like this, “Alpha these two pack members have a question for you?” Damien announced holding his hand out for them to speak to me he looked at them disapprovingly “Alpha we would like to know why you have a faery in the pack house and also why my sister went back to her room crying her eyes out over you last night” it must be Rubies older brother Ron they were a mouthy bunch “not that it is any of your business Ron but the faery is with me and Ruby needs to learn her place which is what she got a taste of last night” I told him impassively Ron looked angered “are you with the faery, you turn my sister away a pure wolf for a faery” Ron's tone was not one I was going to put up with, I stood up my height alone intimating enough “need I remind you Ron that I am Alpha and whatever I do is my business, you don’t have to accept Hazel but you will be asked to leave the pack if you do not, if anyone has a problem with Hazel being my mate then they are welcome to leave, everyone knows the mate bond and how you do not get to choose but I wouldn’t ever give up Hazel and I certainly do not care that she is a faery, now you may leave” I snarled at the two wolves they both bowed and left the office I sat down on my chair and sighed heavily is this really how people are going to act about Hazel I was always taught to except the mate bond whoever it was.
Damien was still in my office as I contemplated the questions and raised eyebrows at Hazel being my mate, “go on” I snapped at him “Alpha one of the rogues spoke this morning he told us that they were sent by the white witch to get the girl meaning Hazel and that he overheard someone talking around the castle back home, the witch wants you dead and the faery to herself something about being powerful the rogue also said that the attacks would become a distraction” Damien shifted awkwardly he clearly didn’t want to relay this information to me especially in the mood I was currently in, I sat thoughtfully for a moment a distraction what else did she have planned I needed more inside information “what happened to the two warriors you sent into the packs under the white witches command” I asked gruffly “I have spoken to Jazz she has told me the people are angry they can barely feed their children she is helping plan a revolt they will join in if there is a fight” “good, that’s good” I spoke normally now, “and the other warrior has managed to get right into the pack this pack is also angry but the Alpha is in the witches pocket so things are a little trickier he is the one providing the rogues to attack us, she has also found out that they have dark faeries working in labs brewing up some sort of potion she is trying to find out more without becoming detected” Damien told me in his monotone voice he was extremely hard to read he didn’t give anything away a bit like myself, “ok Damien thank you for bringing this information to me “I leant back in my chair “Alpha if I might make a suggestion" Damien interjected stepping towards the desk “yes” I raised an eyebrow Damien never liked to suggest anything “I think we both know its best if Hazel stays here for now at least, but she needs to feel comfortable here, when Polly was talking to her last night she mentioned a friend called Mel" Damien shifted awkwardly something was bothering him "so you want me to bring Mel here, I don’t think that will be wise Damien she can’t live here forever she is a faery" I folded my arms wondering why Damien was acting so strangely “Tristan, Mel has turned out to be Lucas’s mate, he found out the night that you met Hazel but he hasn’t told a soul she doesn’t even know as he knows the score but he's a mess the bond is causing him pain, so I’m thinking bring Mel here in the pretence of being with Hazel but to also be with Lucas so they can figure everything out” Damien stood taller he wanted to help his friend, he did have a good point Hazel needed to stay here where it was safer for her and safer for the village as the informant would let the witch know she was here and stop sending the rogues into the village to capture her, “yes that’s a good idea bring Lucas up” I ordered him, Damien’s eyes glazed over linking Lucas next minute there was a knock at the door “enter” I yelled and in came Lucas he didn’t look good he looked like he hadn’t slept in days or eaten, his eyes where sunken into his face his hair and skin had lost its sheen, “Lucas what has happened” I asked him standing up to be closer to him I didn’t want to give away that Damien had already told me “it’s the mate bond Alpha its taking it out of me to stay away from her, its killing me inside not to speak to her, she has no idea that she is my mate, I didn’t want to trouble her but I can't cope for much longer” Lucas looked broken “we are going to bring her here Lucas, if I can be with my mate who's a faery you can be with yours” I placed a hand on his shoulder sympathetically “no we can't be together our families won't allow it, you are the Alpha you can make the rules I cannot” Lucas sounded so defeated it was killing me to see a good friend in such a state “we will sort it I promise” I told him sternly he looked up at me the light gone from his eyes he was always the joker the laughter in the room and to see him like this was beyond anything I could deal with.
