Tristan
Me and Hazel where lounging around in bed together having just made love for the third time in a row she was amazing her stamina was equal to mine and I was in awe of her, I couldn’t get enough of her every time we laid together though it was getting harder and harder not to mark her but it was still early days and I didn’t want to frighten her, I understood it could hurt so I didn’t want to do it just yet not until I was certain she was ready, I didn’t understand why Cole was so eager to do it she was here in my bed lying next to me, I didn’t need to mark her yet she would have to become Luna then and she would probably run a mile when I explained that to her, I wanted for her to decide to stay here with me and become my Luna on her own, but the thought of her deciding to leave me made my heart ache, I reached out to her and pulled her close to me I breathed in her scent to calm myself she's here she's safe I reminded myself, she lay quietly dozing in my arms for awhile until Damien's voice entered my mind “Alpha, one of the elders is here to speak to you he doesn’t seem happy” I sighed I knew this was going to happen "ok, I’ll be in my office in 10" I told him I hugged Hazel tightly before getting out of bed feeling instantly cold from being away from her, she pulled the covers over herself “where are you going” her sleepy voice asked me, I turned to her and stroked her hair "someone's here to speak to me, I wont be long, why don’t you see if you can find Mel and Lucas”
I soothed her “ok” she yawned and stretched her arms up I smiled at her “what” she asked laughing “I just love everything about you” my heart bursting with love for her she smiled and leaned to kiss me I chuckled and got up to get dressed, once I was dressed and ready to go I gave her a quick kiss before going to meet the elder “see you soon” I told her “see you soon" she said sweetly getting dressed herself I left her to sort herself out and made my way to my office I took a deep breath before going in, as I entered Damien was stood by my desk and elder John was sat in a chair they where talking to each other and laughing my mood lifted slightly as it was John who was here and not one of the other sterner more serious elders “Tristan” John exclaimed standing up to hug me "John" I exclaimed clapping him on the back then taking a seat behind my desk “how are you?” he asked sitting back down opposite me “great actually" I replied with a grin “you?" I asked "yeah all good thanks" he said with a smile "good to see you two your doing such a great job round here" John motioned his hand in the air then leaning back in his chair “thank you, wouldn’t be possible without my right hand man Damien though" I motioned to Damien he just bowed his head “it is my pleasure to help the Alpha run his pack" Damien said in his deep voice “great guys great" John said with a smile “so what can I do for you today?" I asked wanting to get to the point now and why had Damien said he didn’t seem happy he seemed fine now "well, Tristan we have heard reports that the white witch is amassing an army and it is all because you have found your mate and that she is a faery from the nearby village under your packs protection” John lent forward cutting to the chase "yes she is my mate and I understand the white witch is not happy about our union" I didn’t want to give to much away just yet I wanted to know the real reason he was here first “well congratulations on finding your mate for starters” he said a genuine grin on his face “but you know that a lot of people don’t approve of faeries and wolves mating, I don’t count myself as one of them but there are a couple of the elders who do not approve so I have come here to find out about this girl and yours and your packs opioun on the matter the stronger the case for you being together than the better the chance the elders will let it slide seen as you are an Alpha and she could be the future Luna they do not want animosity between any of the packs or with themselves” John face had turned serious "ok so what do you want us to do?” I asked him “well first off I would love to meet this lovely girl who is making this grumpy Alpha turn into a gushy fool” he said with a smirk I laughed to be fair I was usually so surly and un approachable I knew it must be a big change for people to see. “ok Damien go and get Hazel please” I asked Damien nodded and swiftly left the office to get her “Tristan they have asked me to ask if she has come into her powers yet?" John asked quietly he looked serious “no she hasn’t yet why is that a concern of the elders?" my curiosity peaked he sighed "they just wished to find out what powers she had” he told me, there was a knock at the door and Damien entered with Hazel who looked perplexed she smiled when she saw me though “Hazel I would like you to meet elder John, John this is Hazel my mate” I introduced them John stood up to take Hazels hand he kissed the back of it “well alpha she is a beauty” he smiled down at Hazel I felt a wave of protection wash over me I pulled Hazels arm to come and sit with me behind the desk “now I’m just going to ask around the pack and find out what people think of the two of you nothing serious we just need to find out if they accept you and how well the pair of you will be relieved should Hazel become Luna” John got up to leave we all stood as he did so and said our goodbyes I eyed Damien to stay in the room with me and Hazel, Damien closed the door after John had left “Alpha?” Damien addressed me knowing I wanted more from him “I’m not sure what’s going on but we all knew the elders wouldn’t approve of this mating I need to keep the pack on side so me and Hazel are going to go and show ourselves as a happy couple around the pack house, I need you to get Mel and Lucas out of sight we need to elders to approve of us first before we can let them know about those two Lucas isn’t a Alpha they will pressure him into rejecting her” Damien nodded “I will get them alpha” he left the room “ready to mingle baby” I kissed Hazels hand, she swallowed hard “yeah” she I could sense her nervousness “I’ll be right with you” I squeezed her hand she nodded and we left my office to go and prove to the pack house that we should be together a strong mated pair.
Most of the pack that we came across on our little tour where happy see us and happy to see me happy mostly, they knew me and where glad that I had finally found my mate, they knew that Hazel would only make me a better Alpha, Hazel was kind and polite to everyone I knew that they would accept her no problem but I just wasn’t sure on the elders, Hazel was doing brilliantly talking to pack members and being genuinely interested in them and their lives she asked so many questions about pack life and she adored the pups she was outside playing with a few of them when elder John came up to me “Alpha can I have you a moment” he asked “yes certainly” I showed him into an empty room down the hallway, closing the door behind us John sighed looking at me sympathetically “Tristan, I must say you are much loved by your pack, they have all said that if you are happy then they are happy and will welcome the faery with open arms he smiled at me my heart soared I did love my pack they where a fantastic bunch “but the main problem is that the elders wanted this mating over before I even came here, they let me come here and try for you to see how the pack was with the pair of you the decision being made easy if they weren’t happy about the pairing either but they are adamant that if the white witch is already stirring up problems then a battle is sure to follow and you know as well as I that they hate wars it costs lives and they do not take that lightly” John looked apprehensive “thank you for trying for me” I sighed placing my hand on his shoulder “but the elders are wrong they are turning a blind eye to problems in the north packs are being ran by the white witch the alphas are just her puppets the pack members are being beaten and tortured they have no money, no food and the pups are starving we have people infiltrate the packs and they are reporting back to us and gaining momentum for a overturn of the white witch they want to be freed they don’t want to be under her rule anymore” anger in my voice “me and Hazel are the answer, I know the truth about why the elders and the witch don’t want us to be together but if we are as powerful as they say then we will defeat her and let every pack live their own lives we don’t want power or glory we just want to be together she doesn’t even want to be Luna she will be an amazing one I have no doubt but that is how much she doesn’t lust after power and will not use it for anything but good once she has it” I needed John to help me a little more if my plan was to work I needed him to convince the others to let us be together. John sighed deeply “you know I want you to be with her Tristan, I will speak to the elders and give them a report of the findings from your infiltrators, I’m not promising anything but it may be your way of being together” John gave me a half smile but I could see the pity in his eyes “I will not ever reject Hazel ever, I will give up my title if need be and we will run away together they can strip me of everything but I can promise you they will not take her away from me” I snarled I meant every word John looked at me one side of his lip curled upwards “it will not come to that I promise” he reassured me “now I will go and speak to them I will sort it out” John shook my hand “thank you John for everything” I was grateful for all of his help “don’t thank me yet” he winked at me I laughed as he left the room there was no way I was going to let them tell me that me and Hazel couldn’t be together especially if my pack accepted it.
