Chapter 54
**Jaxon's POV**
Riding on the back of a bike and holding on to a female was a new experience for me. One, I've never ridden with a female. Two, the last time I rode double, was when my older brother had been teaching me to drive one. While going up the drive to the Pack House we pass by a red BMW Z4 convertible with two males in it. The young one, I got only a small glimpse of looked hansom.
We keep going to the House, get in, and park the Bikes. When we get inside the Alpha greets us. He told us that we were all to go to his office. We were going to be meeting two special guests in a moment. They must be the two males in that car, the image of the young man in the passenger seat flashing through my mind.
He had been sitting up straight, like he had steel for a spine. White and silver hair. and a pair of the rectangle, blue-lensed glasses on. I didn't get enough of a look to really study the image. I was hoping I would get the chance to look while we were in the meeting. We go to the Alpha's large office, and we each take a seat in the large group of couches and wide stuffed chairs, in the Alpha's sitting area.
The seating formed a large U capped by a large fireplace, it wasn't being used at the moment. But it provided a nice backdrop. Darien sits on the couch to one side of the empty fireplace, Serenity perched on the arm. She draped herself against him with her arm around his shoulder on the backrest of the couch. She leans her head on his shoulder, her other arm laying in his lap, Darien holding her hand.
Alora sits on the backrest, of the couch across from them, her feet on the seat. The twins sit on the couch to either side of her. I lean against the built-in bookshelves behind the couch Alora was on. The office was well-lit, on either side of the fireplace were large floor-two-ceiling windows. We had just settled in to wait, then I smelled the scent. It smelled like a summer storm and sweet grass, it sent a shiver up my spine.
That scent, I couldn't get enough of it. It started out faint, then it grew stronger like the scent was coming closer. Bruno rumbles inside my head, coming to my attention. He's up and pacing around inside my head, he seems excited about something.
'Mate' he rumbles.
Wait? What? "Did you say, mate?"
'Mate' he practically barks at me 'Our mate is coming' he's growling in excitement now.
It hit me, the scent I couldn't get enough of, it was our mates, and it was getting stronger because our mate was coming. Who could be our mate? I have met everyone at school, and none of them, male or female was my mate. Then I remembered the car we had passed on the way in. It had to be one of the two males in the car. I stand up straight, staring at the door, waiting.
The scent is wrapping itself around me, we hear the footsteps now. The beings move towards the office. They can only be the Alpha and the two males. Mine and Bruno’s anticipation is building. The seconds start ticking by slower and slower, the moment stretching for an eternity. At least that’s how it felt to me.
Then their right outside the door, the Alpha opens the door and walks in first. A wave of the scent washed over me, practically drowning me in it. My wolf was howling inside. I barely stopped myself from rushing forward. I was already hard and aching from that intoxicating combo of summer storm and sweet grass.
An older wolf steps in, he's about the alpha age. He's lean but muscular, has short brown hair, and blue silver-rimmed eyes. He was not my mate, it had to be the other one. The older one steps in, then so does he. It was the passenger. He was our mate. I couldn't believe how attractive he was to me. Our eyes meet from across the room. The connection is electric and I harden more than I have ever had in my life.
This male was ours. 'Mate' Bruno growls, howling for me to go to him immediately. I stand there and look at him. His eyes were white with a red rim, and he had a long lean face, with a strong jaw. His glasses are thin silver frames, connecting two rectangular pieces of glass, tinted blue. He was tall, my height, and lean, but I could tell there was muscle. He felt stronger than you would give credit to, with his lean frame.
His hair was long, waist length, white with thin strands of silver and storm gray highlights. I wonder how soft it felt, would he let me run my hands through it? Wrap it around my fist as I kissed him? I wanted to kiss him, his lips were full and looked soft. His hand, when he reached up to touch his glasses, had long elegant fingers. How is it that even his hand is sexy to me?
I strain to hold myself in place, his eyes glittering at me. It takes me a moment to figure out what's so different about this wolf. Then it hits me, my mate is a Hybrid. He's a Vampire Werewolf Hybrid, the eyes and hair a dead giveaway. This didn't bother me, I didn't care, this was my mate, and I would accept all of him.
The Alpha comes to stand in front of the empty fireplace, the older man and my mate following. He takes his eyes off me to observe the room, I only have eyes for him. "Everyone, I would like you to meet Maximus Heartsong Bloodmoon, he has been the Gamma of the Heartsong Clan for the last few decades." The Alpha said, then he pointed to my mate. "This is Victor Heartsong Bloodmoon, he will be taking over the Gamma position as of today."
'Victor' I say in my head, 'Wonder what his wolf's name is.' still in my head. Then the Alpha is introducing us. "This is Darien and his mate Serenity Mountainmover" he points in their direction. "Over there you have Alora, your New Clan Alpha. Serenity's brothers, Galen to Alora's left, to the right Kian, both her Enforcers." Then Alpha lifts his hand in my direction. "And her new Beta, their cousin, Jaxon Mountainmover."
Victor's eyes settle on me. I don't hear anything else around me. I found my mate, and it was in the middle of a meeting with the Alpha. Darien and Serenity are looking at me and then at Victor and back. Alora is doing the same, it was she who interrupted the Alpha.
"Uh, Alpha?" She asks, getting his attention. She points back in forth between Victor and I, before his face, and that of Maximus's, light up with understanding.
"Victor, son is he your...?" he gestures to me.
Victor finally spoke, his voice male elegance, it did things to me. If I wasn't working so hard to stay upright, I’d melt in a puddle at his feet. But he said it, that word that meant everything to a werewolf. "Mate."
The Alpha looks at me "Jaxon?" his tone a question.
"Mate" is all I could rumble out, Victor shivers. Good, I'm not the only one affected.
"Well, these two are not going to be able to concentrate till they get their greeting out of the way." said the Alpha. "Maximus why don't you and I have some coffee on the kitchen patio and catch up," he said to him, Maximus nodded in agreement. "Everyone else we'll meet back here in, let's say, an hour."
Everyone gets up, and the Alpha comes over and hands me a key. "This is to a guest room on the second floor of this wing, first room of the stairs," he tells me, everyone walks out of the office, me and Victor just stand there, staring at each other. This incredibly sexy Hybrid was my mate, and I had a key to a guest room.
Holding the key up I motion for Victor to follow me. I can feel his eyes devour me as we head upstairs to the Guest room. My anticipation is building, how does he feel about me being his mate? What kind of male was he in bed? What does his wolf look like? What does he look like without his clothes? Does he like to top or bottom? Will he accept me as his mate? As a Hybrid will he need to feed? Will he feed from me as he takes me, or me him?
All these questions, one after another and more flitting through my mind. Once we get in the room I turn around to face him. He leans his back against the door, his eyes full of lust and promise, and locks it.
////**Authors's Note: So that last character came up out of nowhere and blindsided me. I was not planning for Jaxon to be into males, he dropped that bombshell just oh so casually. I had plans for him! He was supposed to be Kassandra's. But do my characters care about my plans for them? No! They just do whatever it is they want. Victor did not exist until he smacked me in the face with his chapter.....darned pushy male.**////
