Our two packs

Mates

Arthur POV

I can't believe I even contemplate the idea of rejecting Atena, she's just perfect is more than I ever dreamed of, she is gorgeous, smells like chocolate and strawberry, she's funny, generous, smart and her wolf Aneta is amazing she's copper just like Morgana's hair, I never saw another wolf like her before.

I'm so grateful that Pixie hasn't allowed me to blow my chances with Atena up, after we clarify our situation Atena accepted me straight away, she understood that I was i bit set back that my mate was a rouge. But I know better it shouldn't have made any difference to me, rouge or not she was my mate I should have accepted her and protected her without any doubts, that's how it was supposed to work.

I don't know how Dylan is handling being close to his mate and not claim her, we were marked and mated in 48h of knowing each other.

Morgana and Dylan accepted Atena in our pack just after their ritual, and we marked one another In the same night, that is another thing s*x with your mate is unbelievable is like the other knows exactly what will take you to the edge and keep you there for as long as you can handle, until you can't take it anymore and then the release is pure bliss, something I never felt before, and let's say I had my fair share of steamy affairs along the years, never inside the 2 packs, as I never wanted my mate to have to deal with my old f***s, I had done both humans and she-wolfs but nothing felt like this.

During training today Dylan told me his suspicious about the kids that worked on the rehab clinic, are hiding from the mate bond, because they are afraid of the pain they saw others going through on daily basis, pain inflicted by their mates the ones that were to love them and protect them with their lives. What they can't understand is that the wolves capable of hurting their own mates, aren't normal wolves they are sick, and they will get even worse because you can't hurt your mate without regret. Of course, they can cheat on their mates and isn't the cheater that will fell the excruciating pain during the act, but after it will be the cheater that will fell the guilt and will have to deal with a really pissed wolf, because the human can cheat but the wolf can't and the wolf will call out for his mate forever and will always refuse anyone else, unless the wolf is really hurt by his/her mate in that case the human can convince the wolf to accept other person. I heard this was Morgana's perfect method at the clinic. She found out that the wolfs of the victim would agree to cooperate if they knew they could get some pay back to the human mate, so she set up dates between wolves in the rehab clinic and even with wolves from the packs, There were even 2 girls and 1 guy that did found a second chance mate in our packs, and most of them got a visit from their mates as soon as they start to get more intimacy with someone else, apparently they couldn't endure the same pain they had put their mates through. Morgana never could understand how could they forgive and forget so easily the hell they endured, when their mates show up begging them to go back. There was this thing she kept saying: "There are Werewolves and there's Weredogs, they look alike, but you can recognize them because the first ones mate for live the second ones mate with any mutt they find on their way!" She couldn't understand anyone mating with anyone else but their mate after finding them.

Dylan put me and Damien in charge of making a list with all the names of young wolfs that volunteered in the last 2 years at the clinic when we finished and crossed the data with the unmated wolves we found that from 26 wolves that are over 18, only Lilly and other 2 wolfs have found their mates, 11 of them are already 20 years and 3 are 21, most wolves will find their mates between 18 and 19. When we crossed this data with the kids from the pack that didn't work at the clinic there was no doubt we had a real problem.

The 2 of us meet on Morgana office with both our Alphas to update them, when Morgana took a look at the number, she couldn't hold on the tears, there was not a sound only tears rolling down her face.

"Hey, it's ok, we can deal with this!" Dylan said approaching her and embracing her.

"I did this! I was afraid, and I made them afraid to!" She said with a calm tone but the tears kept rolling down her face.

"Pixie, you have to see the bigger picture here, in the past 2 and a half year more than 70 wolves passed by that clinic, without the help you and those kids provide to them most of them would have killed themselves or go feral, be proud of what you had accomplished. This kids we'll think of a way of helping them, now that we know we have the problem we just need to find the solution!"

Dylan said hugging her and kissing the top of her head!

"I'm sorry I messed your pack to!" she add.

"Our pack, baby!" he corrected.

She smiled.

"That's true, do you guys know we are now the biggest pack in the world? I looked in to it this morning, and if you invite the remaining members of the White Howlers that didn't join the Silver Moon when your mum became the Luna of the pack, and now I think they wouldn't think twice since they would have a Alpha female and a Beta female from their pack blood line, we will be the biggest for a very large number." Damien said smiling.

"You have big dreams, kid!" Dylan laughed.

"Actually you are right Damien, we already did it, we invited all the White Howlers that kept the link with the pack on the old language on the night I received the Alpha title. We will receive 242 new members in the next few months. We'll need new houses to be built for the families, and we will have a new pack house on the old border between the packs, our parents will remain in the old pack houses and we will move to the new one when is finished, the unmated wolves that don't want to live with their families will live in the pack houses just like happens now! You'll be Beta of a mighty pack" Pixie said playfully to Damien.

"242, I never thought there would be so many members left from White Howlers out there!" I'm astonished.

"Most of them, are like Atena, second generation, what amazed me was that most of their parents unlike Atena's mum taught them the pack old language and kept the link intact, I was able to reach a girl that was studying on the other side of the wold, she is my grandfather Beta's granddaughter, she will be the first one to arrive with her twin brothers, they will be here tomorrow morning. Their parents died last year, and they don't seem to get along very well in their pack so they jumped at the opportunity!" Morgana tells us.

"Why don't they get along with the pack, and witch pack ?" Axel asked talking for the first time.

"Red Mountain pack, something to do with the way they treat Omegas, they are bringing 2 couples with them that don't belong to White Howlers and will smell like rouges I already informed the border patrol!" Dylan answered.

"Guys don't you think this is to much on or plat at once? Do you really think we can pull this of?" Liam asked.

"Absolutely, by the way, no one tells nothing about the new people arriving, if I know something about hiding from a mate, everyone that is doing it and has his or her mate in the pack already knows who they are and always hide their smell, but the ones that know their mates aren't on the pack don't have a reason to do that, if that mate comes from outside without warning they will be f****d!" Damien laughed, as if he wasn't one of the people that could be f****d like he said.

Next morning we were all together again on Silver Moon pack house having breakfast before our training when Pixie received a mind link and asked Dylan to accompany her because they had guests, 15 minutes latter they were back with 4 guys and 3 girls. 2 of the guys are identical like an image on a mirror, around 6,1ft dark blond hair blue eyes, one of the girls looks a lot like them I gess those 3 are the White Howlers and the others are the Red Mountain members, one of the guys has dark chocolate skin and black eyes, the other has brown eyes black hair and a lighter tone of skin just like one of the girls, both guys are way over 6,3 ft the second girl is a brunette with blue eyes. I was taking their scent in noticing that Morgana and Dylan already accepted them in the pack because the stench of rouge was no longer on them, suddenly my 2 sisters jump from their seats and Damien was running straight to the blonde, before I could do anything I had 2 guys all over my baby sisters and Damien pining a girl against a wall.

We all looked at each other and just laughed.

"Hey Damien? Damien?" Dylan yelled

"Mine!!" Damien answered.

"Ye, that yours, so who would be f****d???" Dylan said making all of us laughing really hard. " By the way your mate name is Sofia, Sofia that's my brother and our Beta Damien, sorry about his bad manners he was raised by a pack of wolfs!" Dylan slapped Damien in the back of his neck.

"Peter, Pedro!- Pixie called, but the twins didn't moved a inch from my sisters- Peter, Pedro- she tried again using her Alpha tone, they looked at her but kept hugging the girls- Welcome back boys!! I thought you would like to know the girls you assaulted, not that they seem to be stressed about it, are Alana and Kayla our Beta Arthur's sisters." She said playfully, I just stay there without words.

"I'm really sorry, we acted like this, we have been looking for our mates for 4 years now, and we couldn't believe when we saw how perfect they are. We are so pleased Moon goodness made us wait this long!" One of them said speaking for both just like my sisters always do.

"Just out of curiosity, are you 4 mates?" Liam asked the other 4 laughing.

"We are, sorry, no more matches!!" The guy with darker skin, Jackson, said smirking.

"Why aren't you guys marked?" I asked

"On our old pack Omegas can't mate above their rank, meaning we would have to reject our true mates!" The other guy explained.

"Are you serious? s**t that's f****d up!" I let out.

"That's why we are here, there's no way we could reject our mates, we are the other part of each other!" Most of the wolves on the dining room were young wolves, maybe this all scene will open their mind about mates.

I can't understand the logic of the packs that mess with the mate bond, everyone knows that the pups from true mates are stronger than the pups from chosen mates so why mess with that? In the end the result is a week pack in the long run, we are the proof of that, since our packs begun to respect the mate bond we became stronger witch passing generations. That's the reason Morgana and Dylan are so hurried about the young wolves hiding from their mates.

We were all in the training ground when my dad arrived with new intel, we all gathered in Morgana office, and we came to the realization that our Alphas will need a bigger meeting room to meet with us, now we are 2 Betas, 2 Female Betas, 2 Gamas, 1 female Gama, 2 Head Delta's, that's 11 people, and today we also have 2 former Alphas 2 former Lunas and 2 former Betas in one office it's a bit crowded, when Morgana looked around she started to laugh and said:

"What do you say Damien, is it big enough for you? You wanted a big pack, now we need a big room!"

"Almost there!" he answered laughing.

Dylan opened the door took her hand and walked out:

"What about the library, it's also soundproof, and it's bigger than this office?"

"Good idea!" Said Alpha Zander laughing.

And we all followed Dylan and Pixie to the library.
