“Audrey’s father contacted us the day after she got to Alpha College, to tell us what you are telling me now. He wanted to start working on the mating alliance papers right away.”
“So, she knew then.” He shrugged.
“Son, it could be a lie, coerce you into marking and mating her before a full moon, has she asked you to?”
“No, why would she? Is happy to wait.” both ways,
He saw his father and Anders looking at each other now. “Son, coercion can go you like the girl, so easy to believe if she’s all over you and letting you do whatever your hearts content with her. I imagine she is fucking you stupid, right?” His father asked him.
He was frowning at them now, she actually was.
Slade
“Son, I get you think it could be the truth of the matter, but I’d say it’s a lie, to get their pack attached to ours.” Anders stated and sighed, “And from what we’ve seen here, Ori is more likely to be your Mate, than Audrey is.”
“How do you figure?” he frowned “And if so, well you all just fucked her over, as did I in her eyes.”
His father sighed again “Slade, you were supposed to tell her about the demotion and ascension of her brother.”
“And I was going to tomorrow. I wanted to come home, to hang out with Ori, Palmer and Yuri all together as a unit one last time tonight, have some fun like we would normally do. Before sitting her down and explaining it to her, try and stop her from hating me, which she does right this very minute, hate me. Likely hate’s all of you as well now.” he told them, and he did actually believe that as well.
“Why did you do this if you think I would scent her out tomorrow, why do it at all?” he asked, couldn’t understand them.
“Because we needed to start officially training Hayden up, to take over her position, seeing as we believe it will change, from her being the future Beta to the future Luna.”
“Just stop.” He shook his head. “I don’t understand where you got this from, and coercion is that not what you’re trying to do to me now? Convince me Ori is my Mate when I’ve not scented her. There are freaking rules, you just said so yourself.”
“Yes, I did.” His father nodded. “But we have to break them ourselves. We weren’t going to, but now we have to. To try and fix this colossal screw up.”
“Well, whose fault is that?” he shot at them. “You should have just waited one freaking day.” He was glaring at them, hell he’d wanted to know that very thing they were talking about, up until he’d had those thoughts about Audrey, realised what she was to him and accepted Audrey was going to be his Mate. He was even excited about it. He didn’t understand them telling him it was Ori and not Audrey.
“Tell me why, from the beginning, why do you think Ori is my Mate? Because I’m certain it’s Audrey. Where on earth did you come up with this notion?” and he couldn’t think of a single reason as to how they could have come up with it either, and while he was away? That was just bloody ridiculous. There was nothing to see between them, because he wasn’t freaking here for anything to go between them.
He saw a flicker of anger cross Anders’ face and his own father sighed a little, “That son, would be to do with what we saw the night before you went to Alpha College.” His father stated, “I wasn’t the only one to see it either.” He murmured and looked at Anders.
“I didn’t need to see it.” Anders muttered to himself.
“See what?” he asked with a frown.
He looked from one to the other as they both just stared at him, really stared at him, but it was Anders that spoke first and sounded annoyed “Oh, for the love of the Goddess,” he snapped and then looked at Roman. “He doesn’t even fucking remember. To bloody drunk.” He was suddenly up and stalking around the room.
“Remember what?” he asked.
The man stopped in front of him and glared down at him. “You, fucking my daughter.” Anders snarled at him.
Slade’s eyes went wide now, and he looked from a very angry Beta to his own father, who nodded at him. “Not something we intended to see, or walk in on.” His father shook his head.
His mind was racing now, he’d actually forgotten that he’d thought he and Ori had, had sex. Forgotten all about that, he realised, with the way he and Audrey were, he’d let it go and dismissed it even. Now it appeared he had and his and her own father had actually seen them. Ori had denied it, denied everything, and now here it was all laid out for him by their own fathers.
“It was very aggressive son.” His father told him, “More than I would say was normal between two drunk wolves.”
“You.” Anders shot at him “Mate the hell out of my little girl.” He grated out “I didn’t like seeing it, damned near ripped your head off your body myself. If Roman and the boys hadn’t been there to see it as well, stop me, I likely would have.” He snarled at him “and you remember, fucking nothing about it.” He roared.
“Well, not exactly nothing, I do recall now, a dark-haired she-wolf from behind, and…” he left that unsaid. He didn’t think, by the look on Anders’ face, he should voice the image he had of really giving it to the girl.
Who he now knew had actually been Ori, he’d actually bedded the girl he really wanted to, and could barely remember it. That made him disappointed in himself, more than a little. He sighed, he understood she did recall it, all of it in all likelihood, she’d not told him because she knew he didn’t remember if it had actually happened.
“I did try to talk to her, thought something had happened between us, I tried to get her to tell me, admit it on the way to Alpha College, but I couldn’t. She even kneed me in the balls for smelling her blood to try and figure out if I was right.”
