Alpha Knyte

Chapter 5 Kyra POV

'Please let her be in the shop, please.' I tell myself as I straighten up.

I feel Colt release my arm as he inhales deeply just as I do. We both shiver in delight as we smell our mates so close.

Without any other thought, we both follow our noses and practically hit our faces on the door to the shop.

"Yeah, we aren't love struck at all, are we?" I ask Colt as I chuckle.

Colt shrugs while smiling ear to ear. "What do you expect when we've waited so long to find them. Plus, what are the odds that we find them together?" He takes a slow, deep breath and lets out a low satisfied rumble.

"True. I hope they're at least close friends because it would make this so much easier. I just hope I don't f**k this all up." I reply as I nervously chewed my bottom lip.

Colt claps me on the shoulder. "Well, there's only one way to find out. Now, open the damn door so I can oogle my mate." He chuckles as he lightly pushes me towards the door.

"Alright, damn." I mumble as I grip the handle and take a slow breath.

'Please let this work out for both of us.' I pray to the goddess as I pull open the door.

My mates scent hits me full force as I step through the doorway and let Colt in behind me. I shove my hands into my jeans to keep them from shaking. I glance around the shop and notice there isn't much to it.

Colt steps slightly in front of me and stares at the woman standing in the doorway to a back room or maybe an office. She was watching both of us with a curious but cautious expression.

"Uh, hi. I'm sorry, but we aren't actually open to the public just yet." The woman states as she walks closer to us.

Colt steps forward a little more, and I see his nostrils flare as he inhales. "This one is all mine." He links me as he smiles and shows off his dimples.

I inwardly smirk as I look back to the office where I can see a head of chestnut hair, but I don't dare move, too afraid of messing this all up.

"We're really sorry to bother you but my friend," Colt nods his head in my direction, "needs some help with her bike, we aren't from this area. We were just about to head back home, but her ride didn't want to start."

I swear this guy could swindle the president if he wanted to. It's also why I chose him as my beta, I'm terrible with social situations.

I nervously chewed my bottom lip before clearing my throat. "I can cover whatever the cost. I just need to borrow a couple of tools if that's alright?" I look anxiously towards the back office as I shuffle from foot to foot.

"Oh, well," the woman looks between Colt and I, though her eyes linger on him far longer. "How about you give me a moment to talk with my boss, see what I can do for you." She says as she checks out Colt.

This fool just smiles even wider and nods at her. "Thank you, ma'am." I state.

She chuckles and waves her hand at me. "Please don't call me ma'am, I'm not nearly old enough for that shit."

" My apologies, uh," I stop not really sure what to say since she didn't tell us her name, and I didn't see a name tag.

"s**t, sorry, my name is Jazlyn, but everyone just calls me Jaz." She smiles as she looks at Colt.

I nod. "My apologies, Jazlyn."

She nods as she slowly turns around towards the office door. I look at Colt, but he's too busy drooling over his mates' backside. I just shake my head at him.

"Looks like you'll be traveling this way a lot now." I mind link Colt.

"Who says I'm ever leaving here?" He pipes back without even a glance my way.

I shake my head and tune into the conversation between Jazlyn and her boss in the office. Even though the door is closed, Colt and I can still hear them talking.

"Uh, so there are two out of town people here wanting to borrow some tools. They both are absolutely gorgeous, like f*****g hell, they must have been crafted by the damn gods." I hear a low growl coming from Colt.

"Shut it, furball. I'm not looking to take your girl." I whisper yell at him.

"Sorry, alpha. Blaze apparently doesn't like our mate calling another attractive." He whispers back, embarrassed.

Just as I was about to argue about calling me alpha, I caught the voice of my mate from the office. "Jaz, we can't just let anyone who you define as attractive borrow things. Besides, we aren't even equipped with a lift for anything. Did you even ask them what they drove? oh, wait, let me guess, too busy thinking of all they ways you'd like to bed them?" She chuckles at the last bit, and goddess, I wish to hear it more.

"Well, b***h, you would too if you'd look at them. Well, at least, the chick since you only swing one way." I can hear the smugness in her voice. "Although I do find them both attractive, that guy is a tree I definitely intend to climb, as many times as I can."

"Ew, God, Jaz, seriously? I definitely do not want or need those images in my head, fuck." My mate whisper yells as she fake gags.

I can't help but chuckle as I mink linked Colt. "Well, at least I don't have to worry about my mate being attracted to you."

All I get in return is a grumbled, "Ass." From him.

"What, I can't help it. The guy is basically s*x on a stick, just waiting to be enjoyed. Besides, it would do you some good to have some fun. Why don't you just go talk to the chick and see what she needs. While you're busy with her, I can find out more about the s*x god." Jazlyn states as she puts her hands on her hips.

"Jesus, will you stop for a damn second. I swear, I don't see how we're friends sometimes." My mate retorts back.

"Well, at least I'm not being a prude. Seriously, Harlow, just look out there and tell me you don't find this chick attractive. She's so totally your type." Jaz huffs at the end.

"Her name is Harlow." I say to Ezra. We both find it unique and attractive. 'Goddess above, please at least let me see her.' I beg.

"Look," Harlow states as she gets up from her chair. "I don't need you to try and-" She glances over Jazlyns shoulder at me. "f*****g bloody hell, she's way out of my league, Jaz! There's no way in hell she would be interested in anything about me." Harlow ducks back down into her seat.

I growl low and clench my fists in my jeans as my jaw ticks in annoyance. How could I not want to know every little detail about her? She is my goddess given mate, the other half of my soul. As I take a step forward, Colt grips my shoulder to stop me.

"Don't do it, Ky. They don't know we can hear them, remember?" He links me.

I step back and growl low in response. "Fine."

Ezra is whining and pacing in my head, wanting to go to her, show her just how much we want and need her.

I shift my weight back and forth from foot to foot, trying to control my anger.

"Harlow," Jazlyn says as she puts both hands on my mates shoulders, "You know I love you and you're the best friend I could ever ask for but you seriously gotta stop this s**t. You are a badass b***h who could easily have anyone you wanted. Now, will you please go help the gorgeous woman, maybe even put on some of your charm, bat your lashes, and get her number so I can have him to myself?" Jaz is noding her head as she says this.

"You are such a pain in my ass, you know that, right?" Harlow sighs. " Fine, I'll go out there but all I ask is that you don't f**k him anywhere in the shop or this office. I so do not want that smell in here."

"Yay! See, I knew you loved me!" Jaz exclaims.
