The Fallen

Chapter 2

Cole

    I met her in a bar last time I went to a pack meeting  in Toronto. When we were done with the meeting we had gone to the bar named Black Hoof, it was a good bar with average drinks. She walked in with someone that looked like her brother, he was tall with reddish brown hair and by the looks of it, light blue eyes. But this girl that he walked in with, she was tall with long silk looking Silverish blonde hair and her eyes, that is what got me, her eyes were such a blue that it looked like you could see straight into her soul, they were as if they were crystals themselves. 

    When they walked past me I could smell her easily, she smelled of pine trees and rain, like she was just out for a morning walk or run. I watched as the boy pulled out her chair for her to sit, but she walked to the side of the table and pulled out a different chair and sat down in that one instead. The look on her face was priceless, the look she gave him was a glare but yet with a bit of a loving look that she would give a sibling.

    I decided I was going to go offer to buy her a drink and get to know her a bit. So I told the boys that were with me to stay and wait for me, because I was going to go and try to pick up a girl for the first time in many years. The boys looked over at the cute Silver blonde and they wished me good luck. As I got closer I could catch a few segments of their conversation.

“...Died.” I managed to hear from her.

“I know…we... survive.” the boy said so quietly.

“All because of the f*****g…Accident.” she said angrily.

    Then she noticed me coming so she beckoned her brother to shut up for a minute. She turned toward me and smiled showing perfect white teeth, you know the kind models have on magazines, just perfect pearl white teeth. 

“Hi, may we help you?” she asked kindly.

“Hello young miss, it occurs to me that you don’t have something to drink and possibly something to eat, may I get you something since this young fool hasn’t yet?” I said in my most kindest voice I could muster.

she turned to her brother and back to me and asked the question I was hoping to hear.

“Are you paying?” she questioned.

“Of course, but only if you allow me to sit with you guys for a little while.”

“sure, pull over a chair if you want, but be careful we may bite.” she laughed a bit and so did the boy.

So I ordered her a cheeseburger and a plume wine, then I walked back over to them and pulled a chair up. I decided the only way to get to know this girl was to introduce myself and get her name.

“Sorry for not doing this sooner, My name is Cole, and you two are?” I said.

    “I’m Jessie and this is Cedar my…” she stopped as another person came walking up, it was the waitress, she was carrying the Plume Wine, and the cheeseburger.  She had asked Cedar if he wanted anything, but he refused saying that he wasn’t thirsty or hungry and that Jessie also shouldn’t be drinking due to her being pregnant.

That word got me...Pregnant… I had wished she was single… does that mean that this boy who she called Cedar is her husband and not her brother? I had to ask.

“So who’s the father?” I asked clumsily.

    she sighed and said, “A week ago, my husband died in a terrible accident.” She didn’t say another word. All I could say was that I was sorry to hear that, and I would understand if she didn’t want the wine. But she drank the wine anyway, saying that one drink wouldn’t do much harm to the baby. 

    Cedar just sat there glaring at me like he knew what I was trying to do. I don’t know if I was still going to try to get this girl to be my mate. her being pregnant and all would bring a huge responsibility raising a human child as a wolf. I don’t even know how this girl would even react if I told her I was a werewolf. So I ignored Cedar and kept talking to Jessie. I found out she was heading farther up in Quebec. she wanted to live in the forest and that Cedar was joining her. 

“COLE!” 

    I was snapped out of my memories by Coral, a gold pelted wolf. You could tell she was waiting for orders, they all were. We were in the middle of the hunt and I could smell the deer- our dinner. I cursed when I realized that I waited too long to give the order to attack. The deer had run off course and to the left, away from the main group that I had ordered to kill it. Thankfully it ran towards the backup wolf I had told to stay on the side in case something were to happen. She was the new wolf I had picked up in Toronto. I didn't have big expectations for her, she seemed more like a pet than anything else. Maybe it was her small frame, but I decided to put her on the sidelines since that was the easiest job. none- the- less  I gave her orders to kill as fast as she could just in case. When I gave her the orders I never imagined that she would be so obedient and quick. This girl managed to kill the deer before it even got within 100 yards of the pack. it was dead before it even hit the ground. Instantly I knew what she was going to be in the pack. As I approached the dead deer all the pack members backed away to let me eat first. She then noticed me coming forward and she lowered her ears and tail becoming submissive. I nodded to the deer and invited her to eat with me. 

    As we ate together the pack sat there becoming very impatient with us. I had to growl at some of my members to stay back or they won’t be eating at all. After I finished, as did she, we both sat back and let the rest of the pack chow down on the deer. Once they were finished we all went back and changed.

    As I finished my change from wolf to human  I found my clothes two feet from me and noticed that Jessie was not in sight. She must have headed back before me. I started to walk to the house when I heard Jessie and  Brena talking. I stepped into view and Brena noticed me and whispered something to Jessie and then turned and ran off towards the house. Jessie turned towards me and smiled. I got up to her and asked if she would not fight me with the rank I was going to bestow on her later that night.

    Once we got into the house I called the pack meeting and told them that Jessie was not going to be known as Jessie, but she would be known as Roxie. I knew she was going to have a child, so I told the pack that the child that was going to be born from her will be raised by the pack, but will also be known as my child, so it would be treated with the highest respect as an Alpha should be treated. 

    As the pack started to leave i noticed she got up and headed to the door following Cedar out the back towards the vehicle they came in. I was ready to go up to her and tell her that since she was now my mate she did not have to go back to her run down apartment that she shared with her brother.  as I started following her i noticed that she was probably going to refuse to stay the night here with me since i just appointed her, Luna, and that she would probably have to get used to the fact that she is my mate and that she can’t take another. So I let her go play with her little brother. This girl, Roxie, will be my official mate, no matter what happens, she will be mine!
