Eric’s Perspective
What in the hell? It is 8 am. Who is at the gates wanting to talk to my dad and me this early in the morning? I go ahead and get dressed as dad wants me to go with him to the gate. I go ahead and mind link Kyle, as he is to be my Beta now, as well as my Gamma, Jeremy, and tell them to get dressed and meet me at the gate in 10 minutes. Dad has already called his Gamma to go with him as his Beta is out of town with his family and my sister for a debate trip in Chandler today.
What is so freaking important is that I need to be woken up this early and on a Friday. I just got back to town yesterday afternoon. I need to catch up on my sleep. I am grumbling as I get dressed and meet dad in front of the packhouse to go to the gate. I got a message from Kyle and Jeremy saying that they are heading that way right now and will meet us there. Dad and I pull up and get out to approach the gate, but I don’t see anyone there.
“Why are we here? I thought you said we had someone at the gate wanting to speak to us?” I said to the guards. They motioned to someone outside the gate.
“That will be us”, I heard a voice speak from outside the gate and I turned to look out and see who is speaking to me. I didn’t recognize him, or the other two men that stepped out behind him as they approached the gate. Two of them look familiar to me, but I can’t remember where I know them.
“And are you?” I asked him.
“I am Tyler Harris, soon-to-be Alpha from the Dark Moon pack,” He says and then turns to the two men behind him and points to a guy that looks a little familiar to me, but I can’t remember where I know him from, “This is my younger brother Tate Harris,” and then points over to a guy a little older than us as he continues to speak, “And this is soon-to-be Alpha, Asher Morris, from the Stone Moon pack”.
Now I know why they are here, Jade. I followed her to Dark Moon that time and he was the one at the gate that told me never to come back. Come to think of it, the other guy who was to be his Beta was the one I got into a fistfight with on the Sandbar. They must be here to speak to me about trying to take her from the rental house. They kind of look like the guys who chased me, but I was so busy looking at Jade in the shower that I really don’t remember if it was them or not. I do remember them now as they were part of the group that showed up on bikes to get her from me and Kyle when we found her at the gas station, so they had to be staying with her there at the rental house.
As Tyler was talking to us, Gamma Harry arrived with his son, Jeremy, and soon-to-be Beta Kyle was with them. They heard what Tyler was saying to us as they walked up to flank us and make a unified front across the gate with us. They knew as well as I did that, we were not going to let these guys into our pack lands, and I wasn’t really worried about what these three guys were going to do. There were only 3 of them anyway.
” OK, so what do you want? Jade isn’t here if you are looking for her. I don’t know where she is. Is this about me trying to claim her? She isn’t your mate, Tyler, or your mate, Tate. The only person this concerns is me and Asher. She was my pack member, and she will be my Luna. She is not marked or mated to anyone, so I am going to claim her. She will be glad to come to me. I already know that she finds me attractive. We went out while she was here, so I don’t know why you guys would show up here bright and early clowning like this. She hasn’t been claimed yet, so she is fair game, as far as I am concerned”, Eric said to us. He glanced over to smirk at Asher with his last sentence trying to bait him.
“Well, Eric, she is my mate, and I AM going to claim her, and you will be leaving her alone from now on”, Asher called out to me.
“Well, Asher, that is for her to decide, not you. If the rumors that I heard are true, she is pretty upset with you right now. Your sleeping around has resulted in another she-wolf becoming pregnant, and Jade isn’t even speaking to you right now, isn’t that, right? You made it a whole lot easier for her to want to come to me now, haven’t you? So, you can just turn around and get lost. Unless you can make yourself useful and let me know where she is, she left kind of suddenly, and I want to let her know that I want her to be my Luna. She changed her number, and I can’t get a hold of her right now, but I have my way, and it is just a matter of time before I find out where she is, so we can meet again. She is absolutely beautiful, and I can’t wait to see her naked again, but this time underneath me, not just standing in the shower”, Eric says to us.
The gate shook with the growls that the three of them put out in their anger at what I said to them. They are furious and it brings another smirk to my face. What are they going to do on the other side of the gate?
“Wrong answer Eric, I know you just woke up, but you are incorrect in your assumption that you will be having Jade underneath you. That will never happen. Did you tell your dad that you sexually assaulted her at the Sandbar, that you tried to kidnap her on not one, but two occasions? I bet you didn’t, but you will not EVER be getting with Jade. She will be with me, which is already predestined for us, but I tell you what, I will fight you for her, one on one, so then you can give it a rest and let it go. Because Eric, you won’t, and Kyle won’t ever be getting your hands on my Mate”, Asher tells them.
