Alpha Loreign

Ch 11 Ryan's POV

I leave my keys in the SUV so that it can be moved, and I get out after my Alpha has already introduced himself to the Blood River alpha. I make sure my presence does not overshadow his and hang back until he motions for me to come forward.

“Alpha Jon, this is my beta Ryan,” Cole says, and I shake hands with Jon.

“Nice to meet you Ryan,” Jon says and turns his attention back to Cole. “We have White Oak assigned to the pack house for sleeping arrangements, Jan just got back from town. She was running coffee up to my daughter and her friend. She will be down in a moment to show you to your room.”

Cole and Jon continued talking for a little while, but I stepped back to give them some space while taking in my surroundings. I looked over their pack house in front of me, it is 3 stories tall and made of red brick, the 3rd floor has many floor to ceiling windows and part of the 2nd floor does as well. Those appear to be new.

My eyes the scan over to the balcony off to the left on the 3rd floor where I can see Vanessa and who I assume is Reign staring at me. Reign and Vanessa are about the same height, Vanessa now looks so much more grown up than the picture the alpha showed me of her before we left to come here and Reign; she is gorgeous. Reign has long beautiful wavy auburn hair that is pulled into a high ponytail. She is tall and curvy. I then notice the girls are wearing matching outfits other than slight differences; they are growing closer than I thought. Reign and Vanessa both wave at me and I wave back, I can’t wait to meet Reign face to face and maybe flirt with her again.

Suddenly I notice the wind has shifted and I catch the sweet smell of Roses.

“Mate,” Blade says to me, and I look around trying to identify where it is coming from but am pulled away from my search.

“Ryan,” Cole says, and I turn to look at him, he has his bag in his hand, so I go grab mine and then follow him into the pack house. “We're going to be on the 3rd floor with the new alpha, I guess. Jon says his parents are on the 2nd floor with him and another pack, but luckily they have an elevator we can take.” Cole said and I didn’t even bother talking back, I simply followed, and we headed up to the 3rd floor.

When the elevator door opens Reign and Vanessa are standing there waiting for us and I am speechless staring at Reign because not only do I realize the smell of roses was coming from her but because I am lost in how perfect she is.

“Hello, alpha, beta,” Reign says in a beautiful soft yet melodic voice, not even bothered by the mate bond and if she is she doesn’t show it.

“Hello,” says Cole with a fake smile on his face, and I realize I need to get my s**t together.

“Follow me please,” Reign instructs walking away and we obey. She stops in front of a set of double doors and opens them, “This here will be your room Alpha Cole, I heard from someone that your favorite color was green, so I personally added green touches to make you feel at home, please enjoy,” she said and for once Cole appeared almost thankful for something someone did for him before he masked his face with no emotion.

“Thank you,” he said and walked into his room, if he had aimed to effect Reign in some way he had failed. She simply nodded and her and Vanessa turned to lead me to my room next door to my Alpha.

“I wasn’t sure what color you liked so I just did blue and yellow which are our pack colors,” Reign said sweetly to me as she opened the door.

“It’s perfect,” I said flashing her a million-dollar smile. I wanted to pull her close and kiss her, but Blade came to my rescue before I could make such an idiotic move.

“She doesn’t know you i***t, not until tomorrow.” He said and I realized he was right; she wouldn’t be 18 until midnight.

She smiled back to me and then excused herself walking away with Vanessa talking and giggling like schoolgirls. I closed my room door behind me and leaned against the door breathing deeply. What have I gotten myself into I wondered, yet I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face.

“Our mate is beautiful,” I said to Blade.

“Yes, and so is her wolf that we saw in the dream.”

I couldn’t begin to describe the way it felt to know I would have my mate soon. I could go tell her I am her mate, but I want to see the look on her face when she discovers it herself.
