Chapter 2

What happened next was like a chain reaction and a display of typical alpha behavior as the Alpha let out a spine shivering growl in his beta's direction before he was thrown from his seat into a near-by wall.

Some moved from their seats whiles my mother watched on with boredom before I guess something clicked in her mind because she turned towards me and narrowed her eyes at me.

I avoided her gaze causing to yell through our mind link for me to explain myself. When I refused to answer, she turned to Alpha River and asked bluntly.

"Alpha River, is there a reason why my conference room is being used as a boxing arena or is this kind of game common between you and your beta? If that is so, then we can show you where our training grounds are so you could continue"

This snapped the said alpha out of his trance with an embarrassed smile tugging at the corners of his lips before vanishing whiles the rest of us tried to stifle our laughter. My mother's bluntness knows no bounds.

Clearing his throat, he turned to look at me and chuckled softly when he probably saw that I was trying to evade his gaze before turning to my mother and saying what I wished he hadn't said.

"Well you see, Alpha Celeste, Chaos here happens to be my mate and I just don't get why she's trying to act like I'm not"

A sharp retort was on the tip of my tongue but before I could respond my mother was already on it. Mama Alpha chuckled softly whiles my stupid brothers laughed. My mother opened her mouth to talk all the while taunting me through our mind link.

"Well forgive my daughter. She’s weird that way. It makes me wonder at times if perhaps I dropped her unknowingly during her childhood or her father may have done that when I wasn't looking. Well she'll come around. she always does" she said bluntly and rather seriously causing me to stare at her in shock whiles screaming at her through our mind link which she responded by laughing with my stupid brothers joining in.

Those in the conference room tried to hide their laughter behind coughs and throat clearing whiles Mr. Alpha was smiling smugly and his beta was full blown laughing. Rolling my eyes at them, I pushed my chair back and walked out of the room to pack up knowing I will be leaving with my mate whether I liked it or not now that he's found me.

After packing, I took opportunity of the time I had left to go around the pack one more time and to tell the few pack members I considered as friends and family goodbye. Now that I was leaving, I will surely miss my training with the warriors and brothers as well as my mother's.

I wish I could stay a bit longer before going to my mates pack but even I know that even in my dreams, it will be impossible because my mate wouldn't agree and will throw a tantrum or resort to other means no matter how low to get me to go with him which wouldn't really be necessary and to avoid all that, I just have to go with him peacefully.

But if he thinks, he's got himself a fragile docile mate then he's got another thing come. I may not talk much but my silence and temper does show a lot. I had just finished collecting my personal weapons which consisted of a silver sword, a bow and a couple dozens of arrows and my box of daggers from the weapons room when I felt someone pushing against the barrier around my mind link.

Sighing softly, I let it down only to hear my mother calling for me. 'What is it mum?' I asked

'It’s time honey...' she said solemnly

'Ok I'm coming' I said before closing the mind link

Taking a last look around the room, I lifted the sack that now contained my weapons and walked out of the room.I walked into the main entrance into my home only to find my packed suitcases near the door and my family chatting animatedly with creepy beta whiles Alpha River stood near the window staring off in a distance with a thoughtful look on his face.

Clearing my throat rather loudly, I made my presence known. My mother approached me first and after wrapping her arms around me, she opened our mind link to speak to me.

'I love you honey. Take care when you go and know that you can call me anytime and I will answer'

'I love you too Mum.'

'We love you too baby sis' my brothers barged in 'I love you more idiots'

When my mum pulled back, my brothers came in for a hug too. Trying to squeeze the life out of me but they didn't succeed for long because they were swiftly pulled back by Mr. Possessive Alpha and I was cuddled into a warm tingling chest that sent delicious shivers down my spine. I burrowed further into his chest trying to get more of that warm tingling sensation and completely forgetting that we had an audience. I could feel the mate bond blooming and strengthening with just this cuddle.

It wrapped itself around me like a warm blanket and I'm sure my mate was feeling it too because Alpha River tightened his hand wrapped around me and buried his face into my neck.

Breathing in my scent whiles he kept trying to push me much further into his arms but was stopped by the sack of weapons I still in between us in my arms.

He pulled back in confusion to check what was hindering me from getting closer to him. With one arm around me, he tugged my sack of weapons with his other hand.

"What is this?" He asked softly

"Um... My weapons" I whispered back softly not wanting to break the moment

"Weapons? You train?" He asked in awe "Yes" I said with pride

He was about to say something when my mother cleared her throat rather loudly, reminding us that we had an audience to which I blushed furiously into Alpha River's chest. To prevent further embarrassment, I put on a blank mask on my face before turning to face my family and the creepy beta who was smiling rather smugly whiles wiggling his eyebrows at me. Rolling my eyes at him, I threw my sack of weapons at him to which he caught with a grunt.

"What the hell is in this sack? Stones or what?"

"Lazy bastard. They’re human heads" I said sarcastically before turning around to leave the room with Alpha River's hand still wrapped tightly around my waist.

We stepped out of the house and headed straight for the car he came in. Opening the front door for me, he helped me settle in my seat and after leaning over to clip my seatbelt in place and he dropped a soft kiss on my forehead.

Rounding the car to the driver's side, he settled in his seat and after buckling up, he started the car. As soon as my family and the rest of pack had come out in the open and I had said my final goodbyes, Alpha River peeled out of our compound with the rest of his entourage following behind.

The ride to his pack was a rather comfortable one though we were both silent. I must have dozed off because I was shaken awake only to realize we were at his pack's border. I smiled softly knowing how he knew me within a short span of time. I didn't want to enter his pack for the first time sleeping.

He shook his head softly with a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips as if he knew exactly what was going on in my mind. Rolling my eyes at him I quickly fixed myself and after checking the side mirror and making sure I was alright, I gave him a curt nod to signify that he could go on.

we drove into his pack grounds and I could already see people gathered there waiting and I got my answer when I saw their creepy beta standing with the entourage that came to me pack smiling smugly in my direction.

I swear one of these days I am going to beat him into submission. I may be a female but I still have Alpha blood flowing through my veins and even if he chose to disregard that, I was going to be his Luna for crying out loud.

He should show some respect but no. In the short time that he's known me, he has already made a habit of smiling smugly at me and teasing me any chance he got with his actions and expressions. I wonder what sort of things he would utter once he opens that mouth of his.

Ignoring him, I waited till Alpha River parked the car and killed the engine before pulling a blank mask onto my face. I realized now that we were on his pack ground that I could smell his scent and it was soothing and distractive. He smelled of sandalwood and mint with a dash of ocean breeze.

My wolf was purring inside. Wanting to be let out to get a better whiff of our mate’s alluring smell. Taking a deep breath, I opened my door and stepped out only to be met with Alpha River's disapproving gaze.

I smirked at him before schooling my face behind my ‘oh so precious’ loving blank mask. With a firm hand on my waist, he propelled me forward, towards where his pack members where gathered.
