Chapter 8
Kayden's POV:
We did as much as we could with the time we had, the medical ward is ready and stocked with supplies. Alexis made sure the food was ready on time. The pack house is ready with many big and comfortable tents with as many cots and blankets outside to make sure that everyone feels at the very least not exposed to the elements. I just hope it's enough.
My mother decided to leave rooms in the pack house for those of a Higher Hierarchy within the pack.Yet even the pack house doesn't have room for such a number. It was September and the temperature was starting to go down I am trying to imagine the weather in the Caribbean compared to here, yet a lot of people came out with warm clothes for the refugees and from what Gabriel and my father mentioned from a conversation over the phone, apparently Marius had prepared something very similar. And I don't know why that made me jealous all of a sudden, all I knew is my wolf Deacon was excited, I hadn't actually felt him stir in a bit.
'Well lookie who decided to finally grace us with his divine presence you have been gone for some time are you taking time off from wherever it is you go to hide?!' Deacon was not amused, but he was too excited to care.
'What are you so excited about that brought you from giving me the silent treatment for so long?' I asked him like if I understood anything that he did anymore. 'Because she's finally coming! Finally we will see her and have her and love her and claim her, it's been so long!' Is he drunk?
'She is coming! I stood back all those times with all those women Kayden, but this one is the real one, the Moon Goddess has made true on her promise of a mate and if you fuck this up Kayden, I will REALLY go dormant FOREVER, and what true Alpha can lead and fight without his wolf?' I would just be a human!
'Deacon, are you seriously threatening me right now man? After basically being away for years unless I shift?' This is ridiculous, I will not be intimidated by what could be called my subconscious! This is not the first time he gives me shit.
'I AM! Though it's good to know that there is still enough edge to you my dear human to understand what a REAL threat sounds like, I joke not Kayden, you fuck THIS and I am gone!' I swallow hard, a bead of sweat on my forehead, for an Alpha to be declared 'Wolf-Less' was the end of that Alpha's reign, the title of Alpha would go to my brother Marcus even though he is a Beta, he could still be declared Alpha if Deacon makes true on his threat. Then we really don't get our mate.
'Again Kayden, it's good to be back! It's nice looking forward to something exquisite instead of the same bullshit you usually make us consume, I have had enough of your crap. I have been listening and am aware of how the mate Bond works for our mate's clan, I will be in my best behavior but I swear Kayden, if you do anything with any of your sluts you will hurt her and if you hurt her I will hurt you!' What. Just. Happened?
'What happened was your wolf got sick of your shit, Marcus has been warning you for years about mates, how they are a Blessing from the Goddess and ours is on her way and she must be powerful for me to feel it so soon, still so far away!' This doesn't usually work this way, usually there must be a scent, a look, a touch. Maybe he is just imagining things, yet I have a feeling too.
'She may also carry a special bond with the Goddess? I heard that those with special affinities have a wider aura.' I say wondering.
'Yes! Yes! Our mate is special to the Goddess! We MUST treat her with love and care, she will need comfort, we must cherish her!' I am intrigued yet...
'You didn't listen at all did you dummy! Their mate Bond adapts, we won't know what she needs until we meet her!' Shit! Even I am getting exited now! If Deacon can sense her now she must be special.
'Yes! Yes! THINK more Kayden! It is exiting! We are going to meet our soul mate! I can't wait to love her!'
'Yeah I'm exited too, but for Goddess sake Deacon, you're making me nervous, we can't loose control or we could scare her away.' And just when I think I am getting through to him:
'Mate would never fear us, she is promised by the Moon Goddess! She will love us!' He says as he purrs. I just facepalm myself. How did I end up with him?!
'Deacon, hey get it together man! Haven't we grown up to stories of mates being rejected and then loosing their minds?!' I could feel his fear.
'NO! Mate will not reject us! You are in the right on this Kayden, you will control and I will control, we will let our mate come to us, she is mourning...I am sad for our mate Kayden.' Mourning? I wonder how many close to her perished.
'In that we both agree buddy, she will be sad. I am working to make it less sad, I won't fuck it up Deacon, I swear! Come on man! I need some confidence from you!' He could at least help out!
'I am not your buddy right now Kayden! You made us do things I didn't want to do with women I didn't want to even have their scent on me! Even you were repulsed after having them! But to make sure you don't fuck THIS up I will give you confidence in claiming our mate. I already warned you, you hurt her and I will hurt you!' Ah, nothing better than to have your wolf subconscious threatening you.
