The Good Wolf Delilah

Chapter Four

Tobias’s POV

The rest of my day was full of boring meetings and paperwork. I had already met with our head farmer, the trainer, and the commander of our pack's military. I was also able to squeeze in the school's superintendent to make sure the school year was on track with the required lessons. We teach the young pups of our pack about our histories and laws. They need to know survival instincts and fighting skills so if they ever get separated from the pack they know how to survive until they come home.

I'm not sure why but I couldn't help but feel excited for dinner. This is new. I don't mind going to dinner with my family but it's also just a reminder of losing dad. So excitement isn't how I would have previously put the term for my feelings about this.

I had one more meeting before I could call it a day. I heard a knock on the door. ‘Come in’ I called out in my alpha voice. It was Roman right on time.

“Hello Alpha, I have the daily report,” he said as he walked over to the chair across from my desk, I motioned for him to sit down. “We think we found information on the rogues that were sniffing around earlier.”

I looked up, staring into his eyes, suddenly very interested in this meeting, and waited for him to continue.

“They refer to one as the “Rogue Alpha” he motioned with his fingers in the air. “No one knows where he comes from, but rumor has it he's always been a rogue.”

I shook my head feeling anger cloud my thoughts.There was nothing I could do from just hearing rumors, but I won’t let him near my pack anytime now or in the future.

“Double our patrol if you can find volunteers. And make sure all entry points are secure and guarded. Also find someone willing to snoop around and try to get more information.”

“Will do Alpha,” Roman said, making his way out of my office.

“Fuck.” I growled as I punched my desk. They are getting too close. I have worked so hard on keeping our pack safe and making us strong. Hopefully, we can refrain from any more close sightings once we double our patrol. I need to go get ready for dinner. I locked my office and headed home to the alpha's house.

The house for the alpha is far too big for me but if I found my mate and had kids it would fill up. For now, it was just my mother, Zander and I.

It’s 6:30 so I have time for a quick shower. I brushed my teeth and dressed in a new clean suit. I wore a suit every day but I saved this one for dinner with my mom. It’s a nice black suit with a snug-fitting white button-up. I always have a rose in my pocket as well when I wear it. I do love the smell of roses.

When I got downstairs I saw my mom and Zander. My mom is beautiful. She stands at 5’10 with dirty blonde hair and tan skin. We have the same violet eyes. Zander is dressed nicely in one of his best suits.

“I’ll meet you boys at the restaurant, Zander don’t forget to go and get Delilah she will be coming with us tonight,” my mom said as she walked out to the car that was waiting to drive her to the restaurant.

“Hey Zander, do you care if I catch a ride with you? It was a long day. I don't wanna drive.”

“Yeah no problem you heard Mom though, I gotta stop and pick up Delilah on the way.”

I flashed back to that intoxicating smell that hit my nose earlier and flashed on the image of her. She is beautiful no doubt but I flashed back on the girl I used to tease. Even then she was beautiful. I know we could never be together, she's best friends with my brother. An Alpha needs a destined mate as his Luna anyways.

“That’s fine I don’t mind.” I nodded to him

“Okay let’s go,” he said as we walked out to his car. He has a 2002 Dodge Charger. It is the most vibrant red with a white stripe going directly down the center lining up perfectly between the headlights. The headlights are a bright white LED, the kind I’m sure annoys everyone when he drives past them. The rims are all blacked out with bright red lug nuts that match the paint of the car. He loves this car and has kept it well-maintained over the years. Simply said being in an alpha family sure does come with perks.

Delilah’s house wasn’t a far drive but I got lost in the scenery on the way. I’m always driving so I never get to stop and appreciate the hard work the pack puts into the presentation of their homes. The yards are clean, some have kids’ toys throughout the yards, and some have nothing but bright green grass. Every house however had flower beds. When I looked out the front windshield I could see the flower bed that was full of roses and I couldn't help but stare. The mix of colors from red roses to blue, purple, and white was beautiful to stare at, and wouldn’t you know that’s the house we pulled in front of and parked at.

“I’ll be right back, give me two minutes,” Zander said as he jumped out of the car. I saw him jog up the sidewalk to her front door and knock. It was 7:30 now, and our reservation was soon. I watched him wait as Delilah’s mom opened the door and he followed her inside. I got lost again in the thought of Delilah. When I turned to see if they were coming my heart skipped a beat.

Oh wow was she gorgeous even closer. She had the slightest bit of eyeliner and mascara. Even from the car, I could see her beautiful hazel eyes. I think I could get lost looking at those. Her lips are the most intriguing shade of red that matches perfectly with her porcelain skin. I had to stop and take her all in. She was wearing black strappy heels that go ever so slightly up her calves. My eyes lingered on her perfect legs for a minute making their way up to her perfect thighs. I couldn’t help but think about running my hand up her legs which were long, sexy, and perfectly muscular. Her dress hugged her thighs and butt making her curves more pronounced. As my eyes moved further up I saw that the dress dropped down showing the perfect amount of cleavage. I barely noticed it only had one strap if I’m being honest. Her brown hair, which I think is usually curly, flowed straight down her back.

I quickly got out of the car to be hit with her intoxicating scent. Vanilla, cinnamon, and the slightest hint of roses.

She quickly looked up at me and said “Hello Alpha, how are you tonight”. Her smile is stunning.

I opened the front passenger door for her to get in, “I am well Delilah, are you ready for dinner?”

“Yes,” she said as she went to the car. When she turned to get in I saw that her hair stopped perfectly above her butt and slightly showed the low back cut of the dress. Damn, she was gorgeous. Her hand slightly brushed mine and I heard the slightest gasp. It took all of me not to gasp too. When our hands touched it was like a firework running through my blood that was so pleasant, it sent shivers down my spine. All the thoughts of picking on her and the fact she's my brother's best friend went right out the window. By the sound of her gasp, I’m sure she felt it too. I took a step away and closed the door. I need a second to catch my breath before I climb into the back seat.

Zander started driving towards the restaurant and I heard them talking. It wasn’t too far from Delilah’s house. While we were in the car I couldn’t help but drown in the smell of her. Why did she smell so good?

“So are you ready for your birthday next week?” I heard Zander ask her.

“Yes I love my birthday, and I know the hopeless romantic in you hopes I find my mate.” She giggled slightly and it was like music to my ears.

“Hey now,” he said chuckling, “it’s just a bonus if you do find your mate, but you're also turning 21. You will officially be an adult.”

I still hadn’t found my mate either. It’s not unheard of to wait before finding them but it was weird that as an alpha I didn’t have one yet.

I was lost in thought wondering who my mate would be and when I would meet her and that’s when Zander said we were at the restaurant.
