The Wolf's Strange Song

A Rough Start

Grey's POV

Sitting at my office desk, I just stare at my desktop doing nothing, but thinking of the events this morning. Not caring that Mace is glancing my way from time to time, like he has something to say.

~FLASHBACK~

I felt her stir next to me in bed. I wanted to open my eyes, but I didn't want to scare her. I could feel her studying my face, and it took every ounce of my mental strength not to react to it. I could feel her slowly leaning in, which I don't think she realized she was doing. Not being able to handle it anymore, I opened my eyes and am met with beautiful shocked pale blue eyes. A petite face with big eyes and plump little lips is my new idle image to wake up to every morning. Before I can say anything, she bolts out of the bed and runs into . . . the closet?? I guess she thought it might be a door leading out of the room.

Groaning a little, I sat up and shook the sleep away. I fought the urge to get a b***r, remembering how her legs looked in my shirt that was comically big for her. It was brief, but I got a little glance at part of her backside as the shirt slid off the bed behind her, lifting it up a bit. Quickly, I mind link my headmaid to get the room across the hall ready for a new guest. I also instructed her to get a simple set of undergarments and a simple outfit for her. I guessed the sizes and hope it's right. I will have my little sister take her shopping tomorrow.

Trudging over to the closet, still tired from the long trip, I opened the door and walked in. There, at the very back, on the floor, and in a little chubby, is my mate. Using a laundry hamper as a shield. I can't help but chuckle at how cute it is. I needed her to sleep with me last night to keep my wolf calm. He didn't completely calm down after how we found her, so he needed a night with her scent around him to calm him down. I feel bad that I startled her so badly though.

After informing her of the room and change of clothes, I headed out to my bathroom to shower. Once inside, I keep the door open a crack and peer out. I saw my little mate quietly and quickly run across the room, then peer into the hallway to check for others before bolting to her room. She is an adorable little elusive thing. Her legs looked good sticking out of my shirt, and her one exposed shoulder let me also see s tiny bit of the top of the boob. I wasn't trying to look at her that way, but hell, she is my mate. It's not like I was watching her for that reason, I just wanted to make sure she went to shower, but I am not mad. My b***r is proof of that.

With a loud sigh and low chuckle, I striped down and got into a nice steaming hot shower. I try so hard to be a gentleman, but when you have a horny wolf that wants to claim his mate it's hard to. Especially when he sends you mental flashes of all the little peeks we got of her in the last 2 days. Damn it! I grab my manhood and start slowly stroking as my eyes close and my wolf keeps sending me images of her. Looks like I will be tired after this shower.

~END FLASHBACK~

Great, that flashback to this morning is starting to give me a chub. Damn it, Duke! My wolf snickers in the back of my mind as I open my e-mails and try to focus. He naps as I get into all the pack business I missed while I was gone.

"Grey! I am going down to get lunch early. I haven't had breakfast since I woke up so late. Want anything?" Mace asked me as he stretched and began to stand up.

"Yea man, thanks. That would be awesome. I haven't eaten anything yet either. Anything is fine. I have a s**t ton of stuff to catch up on." I say to my best friend as I stayed focused on my e-mails.

About 5 minutes later the door opens, but I don't hear it because I am too engrossed in my work. A pair of long pale hands snake past my neck and rub down my chest, pulling me out of my focus. The arms retreat and my chair is pulled back roughly. I am spun to the side, so I came face to face with Kali. My biggest mistake ever was getting drunk and taking her and her friend Lucy to my bed. I didn't even find them attractive, I just got really horny when I was drunk. I was saving myself for my mate, and it got ruined on that one stupid night.

While I am berating myself for my stupidity, Kali says something to me, but I am not listening. I let out a sigh and am about to tell her to leave, when she rests her knee on the chair between my legs and leans in. I am stunned for a few seconds, and that is enough time for her to kiss me. My first response was to put my hands up and away from her and force my mouth closed tight. So, of course, with my amazing luck, Mace is standing in the doorway with food and Pearl is behind him. Both eyes went wide in shock. Mace finally senses Pearl and turns to her about to say something, but Pearl bolts out of there like a bat out of hell.

"Well, s**t!" Mace exclaims as he turns back to us.

My hands are still out and to the side and my lips closed for a second before I push Kali off of me. "What the hell, Kali? Not only have I told you not to come to my office anymore and distract me from work, but I have told you time and time again that I am not into you. That night was a drunken, stupid night and I would take it back if I could. Now you really f****d things up. You know what? You are banned from entering the pack house from here on." I said the last part in my Alpha voice, so it's a command she has to listen to. Standing up with the ugliest angry face I have seen, she storms out of my office.

A long sigh escapes my mouth as I run a hand down my face. I look over to Mace who is setting my food on my desk, "Dude, I was so focused on all this s**t I have to do, I didn't hear her come in. She pulled my chair around and kissed me. I was so out of it and shocked I didn't know what else to do, other than clamp my lips shut and put my hands up. That b***h just HAD to do that when Pearl finally decided to come find me. Damn my luck."

"Damn, man. Give the Luna some space for a bit. A lot has happened to her in a short time. Later, go explain everything. How you had a one night stand with Kali and Lucy by accident because you got too drunk, how she means NOTHING to you and how you want nothing more than have the Luna as your mate. I know when I came in I saw you looked distracted, and then she just came at you. You looked shocked, so hopefully the Luna saw that too." Mace tries to reassure me.

I just nod and start eating my food. I get back to work for the remainder of the day, trying to get it all finished, so I can talk to Pearl tonight and maybe try to spend some time getting to know her. " If she will even talk to me now. Whelp, not how I wanted my new mates' first day here to be like." I think to myself as I sighed to myself internally. The day drags on so slowly after that, almost like extra torture to top everything off.

It's 11 p.m. and I hope Pearl is still up. I didn't think it would take that long to complete everything, but man, that was a lot of built-up work to do. Shutting off my PC for the night, I stand up and stretch. I started heading for Pearl's room. Earlier today, I got the mind link that she ate her dinner they brought, so that made me happy. At least she won't be hungry as she judges me after early. "I finally find my mate and life just had to start it off with the wrong kind of bang." I tell Duke in my head.

"Mate will forgive us. She may have been timid, but she is smart. I can tell she is going to forgive us." Duke say's with determination. Low rumples follow as he thinks back to that slut touching us. His words for her, not mine.

Finally, I reached her door and I just stand there staring at it. Going over what to say in my head until I give myself a small headache. Deciding to bite the bullet, I raise my hand to knock on the door, but I freeze. Inside I hear . . . . . giggling. "Thank god she seems to be in a good mood. Hear goes nothing!" I tell Duke as I get ready to knock again.
