Hayden's P.O.V.
After what happened earlier, I couldn't help, but to sit and brew on the outcome of today's events. I lean my back against the headboard of the bed to stare at the door. I've been patiently waiting for mom for about an hour and a half now, she had promised me that as soon as she was finished she would bring some caramel tea to help calm my raging anxiety. Not only that, but I tried to use the deep breathing exercises she had taught me to calm myself, but they seemed useless at this time. My brain wouldn't cease its constant torment has the incident from earlier keep replaying on a loop in my head, From the confrontation with Benjamin to dad's out burst.
I've really done it this time, dad's going to kill me, unless mom could get him to see reason, but that's another impossible mission. There's just so much she could do, even though I'm not the one to be blamed for the outcome of today. It's obviously Benji's fault, with his overbearing anger that seem to cloud his judgment and turn him into a craze rabbit dog.
“Am I allowed to hate him for causing complications in an already fragile relationship” I question my subconscious.
Or maybe I am overreacting he's my best friend, and I'm dad's only child, there's no way he could harbor resentment for me, right! I might be on his shit list, but that's just for today, Tomorrow he will for get all about it and move on,
Hopefully.
“ Maybe mom can help him move pass this” I question Zameir through our mind link.
“ I highly doubt that, Hayden, he sounded really pissed” he replied with equal frustration.
I could feel Zameir anxiety and fear doubled over along with mine, I never liked to disappoint my father, but these days it seems like I am a walking disappointment. There's no denying it, he was right, mom couldn't save us from our impending doom.
A loud, drawn out sigh slip from me, has the weight of everything threaten to capsize me. I sink into the mattress has the burden become unbearable, And I throw my arms over my eyes in a feeble attempt to try to dull the headache that drag against my temple. My overworked head rest against the cool wall, has I tried desperately to disappear from the shame that cloud my brain. Zameir whimper and groan uncontrollably at the pain of myself loathing.
A soft knock echoes in the silent room, but I made no attempt to answer it or grand the person who waited on the other side for permission to enter. The hinges made a squeak sound as the door slowly open and like before her sweet scent greet my nostril. I hear the soft sound of footstep on the wooden floor coming towards me, but I still didn't move the barrier that shield my pain.
“Baby” her velvet voice said, but I remain hidden, has The bed dipped under the added weight that's place on it.
The self loathing I cast over myself seem to only increase and flow over into our link. She immediately starts to rub my knee in a hast manner as she tries to calm. But her presence did nothing to calm me, which was a pretty strange scene as she always subdues my anxiety whenever it was too much for me to bear.
“Honey, let mommy see you” she whispers, but I remained unmoved.
“Everything will be okay, I talk to your dad, and he is willing to ease up a little” she told me in a reassuring tone.
Swiftly, I removed my arms to gaze at her in shock. She's lying, there's no way my brute of a father would back down. The Colton I know didn't forfeit from an argument without something to gain, it's not humanly possible. I kept searching for a tiny hint that she was lying, but her poker face gave nothing away.
“How?” I query, has I stare at her with a suspicious look. There's no way she got him to back off without offering him something in return.
“We did something called a compromise” she said, arching one of her eyebrows suggestively.
“EW, yuck! TMI mom” I shouted, and a nauseating feeling wash me.
“It's not what you think Hayden!, get your mind out of the gutter” she said, laughing heartily has she took a mug from the nightstand and place it in my hand.
I look down at the warm liquid swimming around in the mug, confused, was I so out of it that I didn't smell the sweet scent of the caramel tea until it was being place in my hand.
“Are you going to drink it or stare at it” she asked.
With a smile, I brought the mug to my lips and took a sip, and a delightful feeling of warmth flood me. Has the tea snuggled me from inside out. I don't know when I developed this undying love for caramel tea, all I knew is that I loved it. Instantly, the feeling that held me hostage slowly melt away with each sip and a moan of contentment pull from me and my rigid muscles relax.
“That good huh” she asked with a wide smile.
“Mom” I whine in embarrassment, has I stared at her with wide eyes. Her smile quickly broke into a fit of laughter, has my face burns scarlet red.
We stayed like that for hours, talking and laughing at stupid stuff that only we found funny. She's literally the best parent I have, she's so easy to talk to, she listens to what I have to say and always have the best advice to give. It's very obvious that we share a tight-knit bond that my dad was envious of.
He believes that the future Alpha should have a close bond with his dad and not his mom, but my father and I were more like oil and water. There's no way we could ever be like how she and I am because he cared too much about the pack and cares little about me.
“He cares about us, but in his own way” zameir tries to convince his self.
I didn't reply to him because I knew the truth. Colton didn't care for us, maybe in another life he did, but in this one he's a cold and ruthless control freak that only care about the pack and mom.
My ears perk up, has I heard a rushed footstep coming towards my door, the laughter, and chatter quickly die down has a frantic knock sounds out in the quiet room.
“Come in” mom called out. The door open to reveal dad's beta, he steps into the room and swiftly lower his head in respect to my mom and me.
“What is it” mom question the beta.
“The Alpha has requested your presence” he told her.
“Oh huh, honey, I will b- -----”
“No! He's requested to tag along” he interrupts her to say.
“Why?” she asked with curiosity.
“The Mercy's are at the gate has we speak, and the Alpha would like to have his entire family present to greet them when they arrive at the house” he informed us,
“Hums, okay, I forgot that they were scheduled to arrive today” she said before moving to follow Dean out the door
“ Why is my presence needed to greet them? What's so important about them?” I question my subconscious.
I quietly followed behind mom and Dean, has they led the way, we descend the spiral staircase and made our way to the front door. We found dad beneath the porch with his eyes glued to the street that led to our house. There's this slight burning sensation that emits from dad has our family bond burns with excitement and anticipation, I have never seen dad in such a cheery mood before. Mom quickly take her place beside him and his massive bear arm immediately swaddle her in a possessive side hug, her slender body looks so tiny compared to his. I take my place hiding behind them, so no one could see me.
I knew it's the Alpha duty to greet every person who entered his pack, but I'm not an Alpha yet, and having me here is suicidal. Not only that, but I hated meeting new people, and my parents knew that much. The only thing I would bring them is shame, so why was I here. My anxiety alone would cause problems for us, not to mention the panic that would flood me as soon as someone said hi. All the little flaws I possess are all signs of weaknesses for an Alpha that is supposed to lead the strongest pack in the states.
From a distance, I could hear the rumbling of an old engine tugging down the road, I peek from behind my dad to see a rusty minivan struggling to roll up the street.
The old beat down dull blue Chevrolet Astor pulled in to park in our driveway, it looked as if it had time traveled from the early nineties. There isn't a single part on the rectangular shaped van that didn't have a rust. The tires looked badly worn-out. The only thing on the peace of junk that didn't seem ancient was the windows.
The rust bucket shriek in pain, has the occupancy step from it. Pity tore at my heart as I saw the family of four standing by the death trap they called transportation. Standing at the front of the van is a man and woman that looked to be the same age as my parent, and at the back of the van stood their two sons. But At that moment I felt a steady but strange pull towards the eldest son.
“James” dad bellows out before moving to hug the man in a tight hug.
The sudden movement of my dad left me open to the eyes of the strangers. I wanted to run and hide underneath my bed, but for some unknown reason my feet wouldn't budge. A feeling of panic instantly sweep me, has the young man's eyes zeroed in on me, has mine seem to do the same.
I couldn't help but take in his alluring present, the man standing a few feet away from me is nothing short of a god. His dark brown hair rest on his shoulders in a wave of loose curls. His mysterious true sapphire eyes stared at me with mischief. His delicately arched eyebrows and strong jaw with high cheekbones only added to the man's beauty. His delightful plump pink lips shimmered in the evening light has he wets it with saliva. They were just begging to be sucked.
He looks slightly older than me and look to be about six feet and two inches. His incredible body stood like a tower of cement wall, With a broad chest that's littered with well toned muscles, even though his overly washed t-shirt tried desperately to hide his body from my intrusive eyes. A needy moan escape me and I tried fruitlessly to stifle it. My cheeks surge with heat, has I realized what I had done. Not only had I moan like a girl in the presence of my mom, but I am convinced that the strange man heard me. I swiftly lower my head in embarrassment, but not before seeing the smirk that spread across the man's face.
A warm shiver crawls up my spine, has the surrounding air seem to buzz to life. My body began to emit a high pheromone of want that assaulted the atmosphere, and an insatiable need filled me.
“Mate” Zameir groans out with need, But my birthday isn't until midnight. So, it's impossible for me to have found my mate so soon, but Suddenly an undeniable need to be close to him grip me and a burning sensation begin to consumed me.
I watch with wide eyes has he fall to his knees and a powerful growl crept from his throat to shake the ground beneath me. Anxiety quickly seize me, has I watch my mate. I heard his soft cry before an overwhelming dominance enslaved the air around the pack.
“Oh shit” the young man's father cries out before falling to his knees in submission has an uncontrollable whimper eaves him, but he wasn't the only one to fall under the boy's power that came out of him like a blast from a bomb.
