The Rightful Alpha

Clear Run

Travis

She stares at me with widen eyes, and I fear that she will slap me for even asking. But this was normal to do for our people. Even though we are different, when it comes to mates, you move in and get ready to marry or even have kids. No one really questioned their mated choice.

"Travis, I can't just leave everything behind and be a house mate. I have a life here." I grab her hand and caress it.

I soothe her nerves as I assure her my question, or demand even. We talked it over but then she seem unease. She had a trip plan and still haven't come out to her parents about her magic. My body heat up when I went up to grab her wrist. Wanting to go higher.

"I can give you five days to work stuff out." Without arguing about it she nods and agree. I was more than happy that she agreed to move to the pack house. I couldn't wait. After that success I got out the car and walked Elizabeth to the front door. Ready for the days to end already and she can be home with me. Her new home.

"Elizabeth, thank you for giving us a try. I know it had to be hard for you to agree." Caressing her arm and I can feel her voice pitch a little. I love my effort on her.

"Kiss her, it will help more." Malcolm suggested.

"We will figure everything else out. We will just do it together. I just can't stand being so far away from you, it's too much." Now that I know we're mate, mates, I can't be far from her. What if something happens and I can't get to her quick enough. I will never forgive myself for it.

"I know it has to be. I will be ready when you come to pick me up." Our mate bond was pulling us together. I just want her so bad. "I'm sorry if I can be difficult at times. Love and relationships hasn't worked so well for me."

"I know. I never done this before." We laugh.

"I'm sure with all the girlfriends you had, I might be a hellstorm." I scratch my head, knowing that's not true. I told her no and my rules on it.

"Are you sure you want to do this. You can back out whenever you want. No hurt feelings really." I went back to holding her hands.

"Nah I'm good. I just want you to come home now." I smiled from one end to the other. "You take your time and if you need me, just call. I'll drop everything to come. And if not me, I'll make Mason do it!" I told her.

This moment felt so nice with her. I didn't want to leave her here but I had no choice. I went in to pull for a hug but in all shock of events she grabbed my face and kisses us. Her lips felt so good I didn't want it to end. A burning temptation start to swirl up in me. I grab her close so she couldn't pull away from me. But she pulled and I had to lean my head against hers.

"Thank you for today. I can't wait for more. Goodnight Travis." She whispered lowly to me.

Her voice is heighten now, her scent, her everything. I wanted to just throw her over my shoulders and drive her home now. But I know she has stuff to deal with first.

"Goodnight Elizabeth." I whispered back to her. She slowly got out our arms and into the house. Leaving us there, feeling like we were floating.

"Ha she did it before you did, p***y!" Malcolm said.

"I don't care. She kiss us, and soon, she'll be living in the pack house with us." Whatever else Malcolm had to say to make fun of me. It couldn't change my mood. I was happier than a 4 year old on Christmas. "She kiss us." I graze my lips from the aftermath. Our lips still tingling from hers.

Next Day

My mind slows down to an empty pit. I drown all my worries with ever step Malcom takes. I lay back and close my eyes. Just listening to everything around me. The simply cold brew hits my fur as I sped around the trees. I just wanted to get lost while Malcolm had fun. I've been so caught up with life, I haven't allowed Malcolm to stretch out his paws. While I've been drowning in my mind. I thought it be a perfect time to let him be him this morning. He needed this as much as I did.

Malcolm howls in the air, feeling the reliefs bursting through us both. Making cut, he dodges here and there. Jumping over lodges to boost my sped. My vision seems to clear the more I ran. Making my endurance higher. Malcolm howls in the air with thrill running through us. It was never ending trail. The wind feels like heaven durning my escape. Making it all seem so unreal, Malcolm assure me, we're near the borders. Doing our own walk through the land.

Glaring over to make search, seeing all clear path after path. My heart race with my high going down. Making it back to were we left our clothes. I slowly make a transition back to my human form. Panting near the trees, holding on with all my force. Feeling all the thoughts trying to flood back in my head. I slow down my breathing and mentally pat Malcolm down after his run.

He quickly lays down and falls asleep, feeling over release from our run. With his mind clear, mine seems to ease a bit more. I get dress and walk back to the pack house. With it morning light shining, the kitchen staff prepares breakfast for the house. I always like to head out an early run before everyone wakes up. I don't want anyone seeing me when I try to escape this world. Some times, I think of staying in my wolfs form. Letting Malcolm enjoy life while I recover from all this stress. But I know that life can't happen. I can't hide behind him.

"Morning Alpha." Staff after staff bow their heads as I make a walk through the kitchen. I nod as I am still catching my breath.

For some reason, todays run took more out on me. With Elizabeth and Syline I feel like everything is collating at a bad time. NOT ELIZABETH, I can't be more happier than to have met her. It was Syline, my father, and the meeting coming up with Devin. I feel the hammer hanging over me, already knowing how this all will end. I just want to get it over with. I don't want to keep dealing with them.

Syline is like a leech, she never gives up. It's a f*****g headache to unlatch her. She just keeps coming back. I will not stand for it at some point. I am truly getting annoy from her. I don't care who she is or was, she is not stepping on my ground. And we will not have an alliance. My father wouldn't have it and neither would I.

I head to my study to read over my father's stuff again.

"Drowning yourself in here won't help." Malcolm yawned.

"It's just itching my brain." I sigh, grabbing my glass and all.

"We already know what we're going to do. Don't keep it up." He said.

"I don't know man. I just need to make sure they're not a threat."

"Of course not. Their tiny pack can't do shit." I scoff at his recall.

"That was years again. We haven't been able to get new information. We don't know where they stand." Sipping my drink.

"They want you to fall. They want what we have." Closing my eyes, feeling the anger coming through again.

"That will never happen." Malcolm nods in agreement.

I continue to go through my study and after a few drinks and an apple, I fallen asleep.

I awaken with Mason shaking my shoulders. "Alpha, Alpha, Alpha." I croak mumble to my reality.

"What time is it Beta?" I asked.

"9:24 sir." I stood up rubbing my eyes.

"What's for today?" Still a bit asleep.

"Training, meeting, and a walk through for our borders and your mates arrival guide."

I walk over to my bar to grab a water, chugging it half down. "Okay, let's begin then."

"Are you okay Alpha. We can wait if you need a minute." I glare at him.

"I'm fine Beta. Let's just go." I growled.

Making our way out and into the meeting room. Looking through all our data. I am pleased with how my team is. Everything is going so well. "Okay what's next?" I asked.

"You have a private call waiting." By Gamma's voice I already knew who it was.

"Okay, split the border and continue your work. Thank you." My team nods a yes and heads out the room.

I sigh loudly, preparing for what this leech has to say that can't wait until our meeting.

One click of a button the call comes through.

"This is Alpha Travis. Who is speaking?"

A soft woman's voice giggle through. "Ohh yes Travis. Its Luna Syline. How are you dear boy?" I hid back my growl at her ignorance.

"Luna please show respect as you will in person."

"Yes, so sorry. It just been so long since we spoken. I'm sure you may not remember me from your childhood." Was this b***h serious right now.

"I recall what needed to be recall." She whispers something out the speaker.

"I do remember how a joy of a boy you use to be. I am quit proud of how you become as an Alpha. Your father would be very. ."

I cut her off before she step over line. "Luna can I help you with something. I am very busy today."

"Mh, I just wanted to make sure everything is set for our upcoming meeting. I am fond to see you again, as Luna to Alpha. I hope to make amends after all these years." I scoff at her. "I know you may not remember but we can go over everything over a cup of tea. Unless you still prefer chocolate milk." She giggle but it only anger me.

"This b***h is really pushing it!" Malcolm replies.

"Luna!" Her giggle stop and replace with a hum. "I remember all and I know everything that is to know. So your giggle of my dull memory will not apply. There's no secret and I know what you are implying for our meeting. I assure you, when your heir comes we will decision all that is needed. Making this silly obsession of yours end." She tries to response by calling my name but I stop her.

"For what I know, you are the one who needs to grow up from the past. And learn where you are put. Learn your spot Luna Syline." I spat.

"I do not mean any disrespect. I was just glad to have our meeting approaching Alpha." This woman still hasn't put two to two together.

"I don't know what your son has told you. But only him and another is allow to come. I'm sure you understand more after this call." Again we met with a hum.

"I was not told but we can fix that, Travis. I'll be glad to come. ."

I stop her once again. "I have made my choice. Speak to your son and follow by my orders. If you don't approve, then cancelled and end this silly ambition you have. It will truly be better for us both if the meeting doesn't happen. I'm sure you know where my father stood. Now good day Luna." I end the call before she tries to argue with me.

"What the hell is with that lady?" Malcolm snorted.

"I don't know and truly don't give a s**t. I'm just cleaning up after my father."

I got up to stare at my window. Watching my pack wander in and out. Seeing the children play outdoor by the daycare. Watching the wolves learn discipline with their wolf forms. I watch my growing pack becoming stronger each day. I was proud to be their Alpha and no one was going to step in for s**t.

I finish my work before heading down to my private gym. The only other people allow here are my head man/woman. Along with their mates if they have them. With both Gamma and Beta busy outdoors I workout alone. Taking out my frustrations with every move I make. Every rep, every kick, every punch, every breath. I was too lost in my head to think straight. And after Syline's silly call, I needed this. If it was later on the day, I'll go for another run. But it's too light out, the darkness is much better.

"Do you need another run?" Malcolm asked.

I rep another set, getting lost in my music while Malcolm tries to talk. "Hey! Man, calm down. You're going to hurt yourself." I drop the weights and take down my headset.

"Malcolm, just let me be. I can't deal with you right now." Chugging down my water.

"Don't let that woman get in your head. She's just jealous."

"I'm not!" I yelled.

"Then what the f**k is with you? Is it Elizabeth?" Malcolm is so stupid sometime. We share a brain but he can't tell what's wrong.

"Of course not, not completely. It's not her okay." Walking back to start another set.

"Then what is it? Because if it's Elizabeth. It's going to fine. She's not going to reject us. After she moves in were fall madly in love and move forward in our life. Were finally be happy with everything we have accomplish. We have our mate." Malcolm says.

I drop my set again feeling God damn annoy with him. "It's father okay. Elizabeth is perfect and I know we're going to be fine. I just can't get way from father!" Malcolm ears poked up. "I thought after his passing.. I thought I'll get away from him. But no, he drag me in another one of his mess. Just this time he left me to handle it." Panting for air, I sat down on my bench.

"You're a great Alpha Travis. Whatever situation comes up. You always make the right call. You just need to stop doubting it." I really wish I can. It's just not as easy as he makes it out to be.

"I just want to move forward pass my father's past."

I hate how this makes me feel. It's like he never left. Sometimes I can hear his voice, calling my name and demanding orders. Telling me my decision could be solved better if he was here. Telling me, I needed to be more strict.

"I just hope father is pleased with how I took over."

"He would be. You are doing so much better than him." I thought out my life, wondering if he was here, what he would say. "He would even be proud of you for finding your mate."

I scoff nervously. "Maybe so. Just remember father wasn't so fond about witches. He always had something vile to say. His ignorance ass would hardly make alliance with them. I truly believed he fear them." Father always said witches are trickers, slimily beings who only looks out for themselves.

"Who knows. He didn't like their company or what else. Beside that one time." Malcolm said.

A flashback to father asking help from a witch. He had travel far to look for one witch I guess he knew. She was old but was said to be wise around the wolves community. Father has try many witches to find his one enemy tracks. He didn't see why they couldn't find him. They said he wasn't dead just cloak. So he went out his way to find this witch. She was able to look through the cloak by digging into dark magic. Father got his answers but his idea about witches still never change. He still thought they couldn't be trusted. He even had everyone in the pack believe it as well. Some ignore him but others looked up. Trusting his words and stories.

"Whom's to say he would change his belief after our mate?" I asked Malcolm. He whined knowing changing father's mind wasn't easy.

"I would hope he would change for love. He did once."

I frown at the idea, thinking over how little he change before screwing that up. It all just lead back to him. His mistakes and my broom to clean.

"I don't care what he has to say. I believe Elizabeth is our mate. And I believe we can make this work." Lifting my head up, wishing Moon Goddess looks down on me. "I just know, she is worth every fight. Every breath and battle. I can't imagine anything without her. Not after our date, everything became too real for me." My heart sped up, making my body crave her touch.

"What's to come with the pack when they don't see her as we do. You know most of them still believes father's words." Malcolm tuck his tail behind him.

"That's why I had that announcement earlier. To address everyone to our changes. Allowing them to welcome her with all respect. I would not stand for anyones disrespect towards my mate. Not when she will be their Luna one day."

I had this announcement before my workout. Something quick. I saw many faces change quick from smiles to frowns and concerns. I try to reassure my people that this was good and we are in good hands with her. I just want what's best for my pack. And they deserve a good Luna. Someone like her. Malcolm rolls out problems that may happen. I rolled my eyes at Malcolm, wishing he would stop asking questions and just stay on track.

Right then I get a mind-link from one of my Omegas. "Alpha, your room is ready."

I thank them and decided to head up to shower. I had some female Omegas fix up my place to make it fit better for Elizabeth's arrival soon. I wanted her to feel like it's her home too. I didn't have girls on my walls or anything like that. I just wanted a females put on the room. And with me busy, I had no time to do it myself.

Hopping in the shower, the hot water hits my body. Feeling every muscle loosening up. As I clean my body head to toe, an image of Elizabeth pops in my head. Her beautiful smile across her face, her curve body nearly at my reach. The feeling of her touch burns through me. Her plumped lips still lingers in my memory. She ran though my mind, I swear I can smell her hazel nut scent. My d**k jump with her scent in my blood, while my mind drills on her touch.

"Elizabeth." I whispered.

Running my hand down my body, I stroke my shaft with water to lubricate. Getting lost with our short but thrilling memories. "Elizabeth." I call out. I lean over the pouring water and use one hand to hold me up while the other pleases me. Stroking harder and harder. The image of her last night hits me.

"Yes, I want to try." I feel at edge with her words repeating in my head. "Travis." Wishing for her to only call out my name, over and over again.

"Elizabeth, Elizabeth."

The feeling of surprise when she grabbed my face, placing her perfect pink, rosey lips on mine. They were soft and so contiguous, I didn't want to let her go. I want to drown in her.

I stroked faster and faster. Her face stayed in my mind, thinking she'll be here soon, with us. "Elizabeth!" Feeling a burst of release.

"It was mind blowing." Malcolm recalls. "She was mind blowing."

I clean myself off and grab a towel. Checking my phone and see if Elizabeth had texted.

"She's fine. We would of felt something if she was in trouble. Or she'll call."

Last thing I remember is her telling me she was meeting her sister up at the woods to practice. It has been only 20 minutes but I miss her. I miss her voice, her touch, her scent, her everything. If my mind wasn't lost on all my Alpha duties. I was lost in her, our talks, our memories, our scent combine when our bodies are press against each other. It was Elizabeth. She was all I can think about since that party.

After getting dress I walked around the room to assure it will meet her expectations. I don't want her to feel like she's just another girl. Because she not, she's more than that to me. I see some items remove and replace with more of a slight woman touch. I see the Omegas has made more than plenty of room for Elizabeth to fit all her stuff. I did want to just take her shopping for new things. But I figure she would think it's too much. Maybe by little she'll allow me to spoil her like a mate should.

"Just a few more days. And she'll be home." I whispered to myself.

I was dreading the time until the morning of. I wanted so badly to get in my car and bring her home. I wanted her here in my arms, resting in our bed. Feeling all new things with her. I needed her. I just couldn't wait for the day to come. So for the remainder of my time, I occupied myself. Making it sped up until the day.
