Better than some pampered princess who did nothing but lounge around.
She’d probably want to keep patrolling-and that was fine with him.
As long as she gave him an heir, he didn’t care what she did afterward.
“Of course I will…you can suggest appropriate punishment and I’ll decide if it’s fair, but remember you disrespected her first.”
“That’s bullshit, she started this little war, that day she put an arrow two inches from my eye.”
“Be thankful it wasn’t in your eye. She must have been in a good mood that day.” Alpha Corey chuckled.
“Excuse me!” Holden was angry now. How does one bloody she-wolf get away with so much…his brain was ticking now…Oh she was probably his daughter Holden thought. Great an unruly Alpha female.
“Ella doesn’t miss Holdener, she trained 6 hours a day, 6 days a week for years to get to where she is now. That arrow two inches from our eye was a warning shot, which I believe you never saw coming. Therefore if she had wanted to kill you. You son, wouldn’t be standing here, you would be dead right now. Don’t you think.”
Holden already knew this, he just didn’t like it, but knew it to be true. He very well could have died that day and it pissed him off. How had he not seen them, he knew that all their scents had been masked, as had his team, but he had not seen her at all. She had seen them though and it bothered him to no end, that yes the damned she-wolf in question, had beaten him that day. Put his own blade right through his own shoe, between his toes, she was damned good and she’d been taunting him for the fun of it likely. He had intended to take her out that day with his blade. Only to have her move out of the way and let it sail on past. He had missed his mark, and that just never bloody happened.
“Not to mention at the time. Also wolf-less.” Alpha Corey was smiling big now.
“What?”
“Yes Alpha Holdener, you were beaten by a wolf-less female. And I believe she is still winning this war you have. Being your in here all pissed and she is out there laughing fully amused.”
“Hang on, wolf-less, but if her wolf scratch up my car?” he was very confused, didn’t Alpha Corey say she had been training for years to get this good.
“Yes son, only got her wolf a few months ago. Actually the full moon after your little encounter I do believe.”
How could he have been beaten by a wolf-less female, he was completely dumb struck. His anger was completely gone, his shock at this little bit of information, rendered him almost speechless. “what time in the morning?” he asked, was still frowning at the information.
“0630, by the time she comes in.”
“I’ll be here 0615 then.” he walked out of the office, damned she-wolf, hadn’t even been a she-wolf that day.
He linked Jeremy ‘That mutt, ruined my car, scratched it up and busted the drivers door handle.’
‘Probably should stop calling her a mutt, then boss.’ he chuckled back.
‘How is my mate?’
‘Fine, I’ll let you know if we need help, I’ll join patrol and fight along side her boss. When you going to come and claim her.’
‘In the morning, if she’s on patrol, probably needs to be there and from what I saw yesterday. I doubt she’d be impressed by us trying to claim her mid rogue attacks.’
‘Alright.’ he sounded dubious.
Holden returned to his room and sank down on his bed. Rip was prowling around in his mind, though seemed fine with not dashing off to claim his mate. On the bright side she was a high ranked warrior and that would mean a strong heir she’d produce. At least she wasn’t some prissy princess who would just laze about all the time. Was likely going to want to be out patrolling and that was find with him. As long as she produced an Heir he didn’t care what she did afterwards.
Holden POV
‘She bit you?’ Holden asked shocked, when his Beta report he’d been bitten by Ky’ra.
‘Yes, I was just doing my job, trying to protect her and get between her and the rogues. Doesn’t like it.”
‘Back off a bit, she’s the warrior that backs up all the patrols I believe and her wolf can handle herself. I’ve seen it myself.’
‘How much off? This is the future Luna were talking about here? You are going to claim her right boss!’
Holdens mouth twitched into a smile ‘Yes Jeremy.’ he recalled what his mate looked like. Tiny pretty thing, Goddess she’d barely come up to his chest, he was going to tower over her. Well on the bright side he can just pick her up and toss her over his shoulder and make her go with him. He chuckled to himself. She was to little to cause him much trouble.
‘And you didn’t want a mate.’ Rip snorted at him interrupting his thoughts.
‘I never said that, just wasn’t actively looking for one.’ He wondered what her name was. The patrol he’d been with last night had only called her by her wolfs name, he’d have to get Alpha Corey to bring her to him in the morning. Explain he’d scented her, but also knew she’d be on patrol so left it till shift was over.
The Alpha in him would respect that, putting the packs safety first, when there were so many rogues roaming around. He lay in his bed and wondered. What she would make of him. His pack was one of the largest around and his reputation did precede him and well should.
Alpha duel you older brother and kill him to take over at 25, gives you a reputation. It also helped that those loyal to his now dead half brother Liam, who had fled from being slayed had spread the word of his duel and Rips display of power.
Holden rolled over in the bed and slept till the sun was up. It was nice to wake up refreshed. He showered, shaved and fixed his hair, got ready to officially meet his mate. He smiled she had looked right at him yesterday, rolled her eyes at him and the way he had been looking at her. Probably used to people staring at her wolf, then being shocked by her appearance. She and her wolf were complete opposites.
He was waiting outside the Alpha’s office promptly at 0615.
Alpha Corey looked him up and down, raised an eyebrow “Who you trying to impress son?”
“I found my mate last night, I’ll need an introduction this morning. I don’t know who she is.”
that grabbed Alpha Corey’s attention “You just left her out there?”
“My Beta spent the night watching her, she’s fine.”
“You’re and odd ball, you know that right. What Alpha doesn’t go and claim what’s his, right away?” he said going into his office. Shaking his head.
Holden followed him into the office “She was on patrol, figured you’d rather she stay on patrol with all the rogues out there, then be in my bed.”
