5.

Aiden

Waiting for her outside the school gave me time to think about my future with the pack and those that affect it.

My father, Alpha Jack was patiently waiting for me to accept my role as a new alpha. Mason took his role as my beta already with us being friends since diapers. I'm not that optimistic about the other part of being Alpha.

Finding my Luna.

Everyone knew about my love for Emma. The Elders advised me to end it so I won't be hurt in the end. My father supported me but knew things won't work out the way we wanted. My dad adored her not because she was a white wolf, it was of the way how she talks to you and moves in a way that seems so angelic. She was graceful and respectful in a way most girls her age wasn't. Emma had all the characteristics of a great Luna.

Most of the older wolves who didn't find our relationship acceptable complained about it to my father asking him to put an end to it. To their eyes, a 'wolf-less' girl should not be associating with someone like me - An Alpha's son.

I needed her so much in my life that I begged the Moon Goddess herself to join our souls. Deep down I knew I had to let her go, not the reason for my real mate but for another higher reason.

A touch of warmth on my cheek brought me back to reality. Leaning into the touch all my thoughts left my mind.

"Hi butterfly," I said looking up into her hypnotizing green eyes.

She simply kissed my cheek in reply. Inhaling her scent kept me grounded.

I heard Ace whimper in my head. I knew how he felt, he too loved her and her wolf Alia. They both were good together, he always wanted to be next to her.

'They are sad. They need us.' Ace said whimpering.

"Wanna go watch the Regular Show marathon?" I asked grinning. She erupted in laughter. It was both of our favorite shows. Our first date consisted of pizza and 3seasons of Regular Show. Emma was simple like that. The whole glitz and glamour weren't her.

"How can I say no to that?! My place or your place?" She asked as I led her to my jeep.

"Yours. I missed your mom's cooking."

"I'm sure she won't mind having you"

I sent a message to her brothers and Mason that I was taking her home.

Driving to her house she held my hand tightly, I kissed her knuckles and felt her relax. She was worried about us. It seems that's the only thing that has been bothering us. Parking in front of her house I turned her face towards me. God, she was beautiful and so damn perfect. Since we were kids I knew we were meant to be more than friends. My crush turned into love and that love turned into an obsession. I saw her constantly in my dreams at night back at the academy. The females there couldn't compare to her. Emma was a rare gem and how lucky I was to have her as my girlfriend.

"When I asked you to give us a chance again I knew it would not last as we planned when we were younger. Certain obstacles will tear us apart but it will be alright. Let's focus on you and me. When we do find our mates promise me our friendship won't fail. It will hurt to see you with another man and vice versa but we will make it. My father says the love we have now will simmer so that the love for our mates would take over. I can live with that. Can you?" I said to her.

"I can and I will never end our friendship for anyone. Best buds remember?!" She said showing me her wrist and grinning.

"Best buds," I said showing my half of the tattoo.

We both had matching Mordecai and Rigby tats, while she and Mason had PB&J tattoos. Our parents flipped when they saw it but forgave us when they realized how much it meant to us. We agreed to take it before I left for boarding school when I was homesick it was a comfort.

"Now. Let's go enjoy our afternoon" I said jumping out of the van after her.

"Do you mind watching it in my room I wanna do some homework." She said while going into the house.

"No problem. I'm with you aren't I ."

Her cheeks were blushing red, she was trying her hardest to hide them but I removed her hand and kissed each cheek. "Don't hide from me" I whispered in her ear, I felt her body shiver against mine. She pulled me closer kissing me with so much need. Pushing her against the wall and taking over control in kissing, I heard her moan in pleasure as my hand found her bareback. Her response to me always amazes me.

"How bout taking that upstairs?" We heard an amused voice say behind us. Pulling away from her I turned around to see her brothers, both holding back laughter.

"Oh hey, guys... Ummm well, we ... " I said nervously. Even though I'm an alpha, the twins still made me nervous. They both were tall and powerful as their father and very protective of Emma. They followed her everywhere and allowed no other guy near her besides myself and Mason.

"You guys. Leave him alone" I heard Emma say snickering next to me.

Laughing, they kissed their sister's cheek and left. "Come on, Romeo," she said leading me up to her room. I found the channel that was showing the marathon while she got herself situated at her desk. As the show started, Emma was multitasking. Her attention split between the show, her homework, and myself.

I didn't know when I fell asleep but how I was woken up was highly regarded. From the soft kisses from my neck and upwards to the playful bites on my ear, I missed and loved her teasing. I let out a groan as her fingers brushed my aroused state. My wolf and I were impatient for things to go further. Switching our positions, I was now above her looking at her flushed appearance. Desperate, I kissed her greedily with a bit of force without hurting her.

Her wolf was calling to mine as she pulled off my T-shirt and began to reacquaint herself with my body. Her hands roamed from my shoulder and slid down past my chest to my jeans. "I need you. I've waited for two years to have you again" I growled in her ear. I heard her breath catch as my hand went into her shorts. My body trembled when I felt the result of our foreplay leaking from her folds. I fought for control as my fingers played across her sensitive area. Her cries for more sped up my actions. All I want is to please her body and soul.

Her fingers were in my hair massaging my scalp. "Emma." Her name came out as a grunt through gritted teeth. She knew my weaknesses as I knew hers. After all, we have only been with each other. We are each other's first at fifteen, it was early but things moved so quickly.

I took off her top and shorts leaving her in her undergarments. Goddess above she was gorgeous. Below me, with her hair fanned around her head and her eyes changing from green to black with lust I couldn't hold back anymore.

Discarding my jeans and boxers I captured her lips again. Caressing her breasts, she boldly gripped my cock and began to pleasure me matching my actions.

"We will be finished before you have your fill if you continue with that," I told her nipping her nipple and causing her to laugh. She flipped us over and discard the last of her clothes. There she was fully naked on top of me giving me her all as she slid down on my cock. She bit her lips to stop her cries and began to move slowly before picking up her own pace. It was pure ecstasy. Watching her breasts bounce wildly, I pulled her towards me, getting rid of the space between us, and claimed her lips. All my emotions were portrayed in those kisses, moving away from her lips I trailed my way down to her neck.

My wolf and I were fighting each other as she gave me the pleasure I longed for. He wanted to make her his. He wanted to claim Emma as his. And only his.

'No. We will hurt her. Think of her. Think of Alia' I said to him. I was lying to him and myself. My wolf was simply acting upon my desires. He wanted to mark her.

He whimpered and pulled back his control a little.

I felt her claws digging into my flesh as she was about to climax. Holding onto her waist I could feel my own release coming. "I love you!" I heard her whisper in my ear before she climaxed. Those three words ..... ached in a way that I could never imagine. No words escaped my lips as I felt a tear roll down my cheek. All I could have done in response was to kiss her hoping she understood my actions.

Coming down from our high, silly grins plastered our faces, we laid down next to each other trying to catch our breaths. "Two years huh?!" She asked amused.

"And it was worth the wait," I said kissing her nose.

Her fingers brushed my cheeks so lightly that it felt like a cool breeze against my skin. A smile played across her lips and it reached her eyes, it was a mesmerizing sight.

"You will make a great alpha. It's time to take over, love" she said tracing my lips with her thumb.

Her confidence in me was what I loved about her. She always saw the good in everyone and put them first before herself. At that moment I knew she was easily letting me go, and I will do anything she asks me to do.

"I will. For you."

That night I stayed with her not wanting to leave, she molded perfectly against my body and I was content with that. Her parents didn't mind I slept over. We all slept over at each other's houses, sometimes all 3 of us at one house on the weekends. As usual, older wolves in the pack found it unacceptable of our sleepovers and friendship with Emma. Being alpha and beta is nothing but a title, we never paid attention to them because we knew she wasn't wolfless. She was our best friend. Nothing can tear that apart.

The weeks leading up to her graduation went by so fast. I drove her to school while Mason carried her home.

My father was helping me get a feel of being alpha until the position was officially mine.

It was a great few weeks for me, working during the day and the nights spent with my girl. My dad was amused by my worries about Emma in school and my fuss over her during training. Even Emma herself found it funny but I realized I was treating her like glass when she snapped at me at our last private training. I wouldn't attack her in wolf form afraid I would hurt her, I stepped back and let Mason finish her training. If she was to be attacked in reality they wouldn't take it easy on her and I wasn't helping her in backing off.

If I can protect her all the days of my life I would. Keep her away from all the evil in the world.

No one will ever live if they hurt my Emma.
