Chapter 8: Intruders
( Jack's POV )
Last night with Allie was one of the best nights of my life, even though we just talked a little to get to know each other better. If it was up to me, we would be married already, because I know that we are destined to be together, But Allie doesn't know that we are fated mates and meant for each other. I will keep things slow, just for the sake of her. After she finds out that I'm a werewolf, her whole life going to change and nothing will be the same again. She means the world to me, and there is nothing that I wouldn't do for her, so waiting a little while longer will be worth it in the end.
Last night when Allie said that she is still a virgin, I couldn't believe it. None of the girls I have ever been with was still a virgin. I guess that is how the Moon Goddess set things to be, for Allie to never fall in love with another man and only be meant for me and no one else, and for me to wait so long for my mate, only to get her so pure and Innocent.
Today I have a lot of business to attend to. I have a meeting with my father, and the pack alders to address the matters of the stray wolves who have been trespassing on our territory without permission. I also have to go to town and have a town meeting about our upcoming festival. The festival is held every few years on a full moon to celebrate the peace of all packs. At this festival, All the pack's alphas must agree on keeping the peace while they are here, and that there will be no law-breaking.
With the upcoming festival, I was thinking of inviting Allie, so I can introduce her as my Mate. The only problem is, that she doesn't know that I'm a werewolf, and the festival will be full of werewolves. I also don't know how the pack is going to react to my Mate being a human, because one of our laws states, that humans aren't allowed to know what we are. It can pose a threat to our pack, even though werewolves don't kill humans, humans could pose a threat to the pack, and see us as a threat and try to kill us.
A lot of my time will be going on the planning of the festival, and I wish that I could bring Allie along on the journey because she would one day be the Queen of the werewolves as I would be the King. Maybe it would be a good thing. Werewolves and humans reunite as one, and live among each other, not separated in individual towns. This might have been the Moon Goddess's plan from the start. Why she have made us each other's fated Mates?
After all my meetings, I still have to go see Allie's uncle about the horses I asked him about. Not that our Pack needed more horses. It was only an excuse to see Allie. Just being away from her today, is eating my soul. I have to see her again, and the horses will be a good excuse to go and see her again. This time I will go alone, because I could see that all the guards made her uncomfortable yesterday.
Before I go to see Allie's uncle, I should probably stop by the lake house to change into something more comfortable. I was still wearing my suit, and I doubt a suit is the right clothes for when I stop by Buck's farm.
When I arrived at my lake house, Matt was already there, because he ran through the woods in his wolf form. As I drive up the driveway I could see that something is wrong. I mind-linked him, and he said that we have to hurry. The intruders got into our territory while we were busy with the town meeting, and they found a young beta wolf girl alone in the woods and assaulted her. Hearing that, I jumped out of the car and shifted into my wolf form immediately. Matt shifted as soon as he saw me shift. In his wolf form, he was a very light grey wolf with blue eyes, and he was a lot smaller than me, but he was very strong for his size, this is why is my Omega.
I mind-linked Matt to head in the direction where the intruders assaulted the beta girl. We both took off at lightning speed through the woods. It was not long before we caught the scent of one of the intruders. We followed the scent up the mountain to where the incident happened. At the sight where everything happened, another male beta was waiting for us. He was the girl beta's husband. He was fuming with rage just like I was. It was my job to make sure that my pack is safe at all times. I should have had more wolves patrolling through the woods. " We must get rid of these intruders once and for all, " Matt said in the mind link. " I agree," the other Beta said. We decided to follow the scent deeper into the mountain. When we got to the deepest part of the mountain, we could smell that the intruders have split up in opposite directions. We have decided to split up. I ordered Matt to go with the other Beta because he wasn't strong enough to fight on his own, and if he did come across one of the scums, Matt would be there to help. We set off in opposite directions, and I follow the one intruder's scent out of the mountain, and back into the woods. Not very deep in the woods, I could see that the intruder's Pawprints changed into human footprints, and walked the rest of the way in human form because it was close to the main road that head into the human town. I couldn't follow his scent into town in my wolf form. I would have to go back home to get dressed and get a car to go into town.
I was just about to run back to the lake house when Matt-mind linked me. They have caught one of the intruders. I told them to wait for me before they did anything. I wanted to question him, and find out from which pack he is from, and why are they here. When I got there, Matt and the Beta have already had their fair share of him. They got him pretty good. The intruder was full of bite marks across his body, and blood was coming out everywhere. I changed back into my human form, to talk to the intruder. He was not from our pack, so I wouldn't be able to mind link him. I step over to the worthless peace of scum and pick his head up by his hair. Even though I wasn't in my wolf form, I still could let my fangs out, and my eyes could still be in wolf form even though I was in human form. It was something only royalty wolves could do. When he looked me in the eyes, he could see that I was royalty, and he immediately started begging for his life. I wanted to hear nothing about it, so I growled at him. He stopped begging, so I asked him " What is your name". He didn't want to answer me, so a grabbed him by the throat. " Lex, My name is Lex !" the piece of scum said. So, Lex. Why are you here, and from what pack are you from" I asked him.
He said that he was from a small pack called (Blue Rain). I knew the pack. I had a fling there once when the pack asked for our help once. they struggled with money to keep their small town going. We gave the Blue Rain pack a fair amount of money to get back on their feet again.
" If you are from the Blue rain pack, why are you trespassing on my ground after I've helped your town," asked him, but he didn't want to give me an answer. I asked him again, and still, he didn't want to answer me. " Matt I leave him to you and this Beta to do as you please in change for what he did to his wife".
I changed back into my wolf form and take off at super speed again to get back home before dark. I still wanted to see Allie even though it was too late to talk to her uncle. When I got back home, it was already dark, I changed back into human form, but my clothes were torn on the ground by the car from shifting earlier. I quickly went into the house, naked as a baby, and to my shock, there was Allie in the kitchen.
