"Well, while we're waiting let me announce my crew. I'm the Alpha of the Female Pack but please call me Charlotte. I'm not your Alpha and your not my pack mates," she responds compassionately, making my heart puff with pride at how gracefully she handled them. "This is my Beta,Trudy, and the two young girls are Iris and Selene. And the dog is Pepita, their guardian and best friend of their mother. Last but not least, this is Adira,my girlfriend and mother of the two girls. I brought them with me since Adira will be advising me along with Trudy and the girls came because Adira couldn't leave them behind, but if there are any objections, I'll leave with them."

Both of the males began to glance at each other, the shorty looking more tolerant while the taller one looked like he was about to attack the girls. The girls looking pale and scared and Pepita growling a warning at him. I didn't like that at all.In a flash, I'm in-front of the male, snarling and growling in warning, my eyes flashing to blue, my wolf coming out. "Back the Fuck Away from them!" I spat warningly, resisting the verge of shifting to my wolf. I didn't want to cause problems but when it comes to them then there'll have a problem with me. He looks shocked at first like if no one as ever stood up to him before, but then I saw something I wouldn't have thought to see in a males eyes. Lust?

"Woah-woah-woah, calm down. You guys can stay, no problem," shorty says, pulling the tall male away from me before I can verify,if what I saw was true? "We can stay?" I ask once again, just to make sure of what I heard is true. "Yes," replies shorty. Bitch please. I wouldn't have left even if you told me I couldn't stay. I wasted my time and energy coming here. I need to recharge myself with food and sleep. Hopefully, I can do that here?

"My name is Oliver and I'm the Beta of the Male pack," says shortie, or Oliver, blinding me with his attractive smile. I am not attracted to him. Hell no, that would be against mother nature's law and just something that can't happen, right? I began to worry myself.

"I am Elijah, Gamma of the Male pack." All of our concentration turned towards the man with skin color that reminded me of milk chocolate. Expression not changing since our little fight we had. I'm noticing now that his voice is way deeper than Oliver's. And while Oliver looks perfectly fine with being around women's, Elijah looks interested in being next to me then being around the others. Weird, but looks like I made a new friend now.

Hey, Oliver dude, do you know how long your Alpha's going to take? I'm freezing head to toe out here? And so are my girls. I'm fussing over why I didn't bring more coats with me when I'd rather go home and cook a home meal for my girls and go straight to bed. I don't the energy or time to be wasting it here, I rather be wasting on something productive like eating or sleeping. I don't have time for this shit," I claimed, eyes glancing between Oliver and Elijah.

Oliver tried to mask his laugh with forced coughing although Elijah just kept staring at me with a weird aura. Well if he's trying to scare me then it's not going to work out. I was to hungry to acknowledge the look he was giving me.

"How about we chitchat,for now?" Suggested Oliver, staring at me and making me stay in place. "Let's talk about candy. I wanted to bring candy to share with you girls but my mate didn't like it. He gets so possessive that it's hot so couldn't bring in any of my delicious candies because he distracted me. Although the ones that I wanted to bring are so tasty, I drool remembering about it."

I begin to make my way to the daydreaming Beta, taking quick steps to him; I felt like I looked like a walking pillow, wide and fluffy. "Don't worry, you can get your candies soon and as much as I love those tasty treats, I'm over this bullshit," I fumed, pulling off one of the my mittens to touch him on the cheek to show him how cold my hands are. "Do you feel how cold my hands are? Do you want me to have frostbite after waiting for an immature man that calls himself Alpha? No can do buddy, if I'm feeling this way imagine how cold my girls are? This was a waste of time, Charlotte. The dude is not coming."

"Let's just wait for a fe-"

"If your Alpha was really a leader, then he would've been here waiting with his Beta and Gamma for our appearance, not getting pleasured while not finding a solution for our problem. He's just, he's just fucking stupid!"

"Adira, I think you should tur-"

"And why would I do that? I don't want to hear another word out of their Beta's mouth, trying to get his sorry excuse of a Alpha out of trouble. If he was here, I'd give him a piece of advice and teach him some manners instead of making people wait like if he was king. Fucking asshole. Who does he think he is, making us wait out here?"

"Come on then, show this 'Fucking asshole' how to be polite."

It was when I finally decided to turn around. And boy did I regret it.

A beast stood in-front me, a beast build up of pure muscle and testosterone. He was enormous to say the least with arms as thick as the neck of a giraffe by his sides, veins stick out from his light doughy brown skin and his fist clamping until they began to shake.

I raise my head slowly, eyes following upwards, I froze and stilled as he met my curious gaze. I was blown away, he was beautiful and an attractive male. I never thought of someone that way before.

Delicate black hairs pointing upwards, skin so perfect that it made him look like out of this world. He was perfect, yet his eyes bore a hard expression, a warning of the devil beneath. Pink wet lips stand out from his face.

His eyes were blue. The kind you see in the sky with the sun by its side. Reminds you of the beach water when you run around and play in it. They were the blue that hinted at hope and life but his aura screamed the complete opposite.

"I guess that your the Alpha, huh?" I smirked but felt my confidence decrease as he smirked right back. He took a step towards me and stiffen at the same time as me.

The musky scent of peppermint drifted towards my nose, forcing me to take in the smell, making me shiver at the scent of light peppermint aroma in the air. Realizing that the scent is dripping out the male's skin; it was like if he poured a whole bottle of that delicious smell of peppermint and bathed in it for decades, the scent leaving his every pore.

I saw him as he sniffed the air also as if he smelt it too but this time he was gazing right back to me. His sharp, cat-like eyes narrowed in on my face and he took another step towards me. When I felt the sparks while he was caressing my cheek, is when I knew. I tried pushing him away but it was no use. I flinched when feeling the sparks again when I tried pushing him away, I stared at my hands, frightened. It couldn't be true.

"Alpha Obsidian, can I know what the issue is between you and my girlfriend?" Charlotte questions, putting significance on the last word. He's darkening blue eyes never left mine, although I observed his flawless lips move and murmur the words I thought I'd never wish to hear.

"She's my mate."
