I'm up early letting my wolf run through the woods.
"You haven't given me this much control since I took over your human form."
"Is my wolf complaining?"
"On the contrary, human... thank you. We may not agree on our future but thank you for the time you've given me with mate."
"I like her too man... I'm happy she accepted this... now shut up and run! I'm taking back control soon so enjoy this."
"Will do!"
I feel my paws hit the damp earth as I run. It is amazing. To actually enjoy this form is a blessing. For so long I saw it as a curse so this just feels... right.
"Asher, I need to speak with you in my office." The king mind links me.
"On my way, sir." I quickly respond turning back home. I shift dress and make my way to the Alpha's office.
"You called." I say as I enter.
"Have a seat. I'm sorry for my son. He had no right to speak to you that way." He says and I take a seat opposite him at the desk.
"Unfortunately he did. He didn't lie. I'm sure many hold his opinions of me." I tell him.
"What are you doing pup?" He asks.
"I don't understand." I respond.
"You are with Emily. You plan to mate her. Yet you still want to kill yourself." He explains.
"How?!"
"People are everywhere, Asher. I hear everything. It's not that hard to put together." He says.
"Oh."
"So what are you doing?" The king repeats his question.
"She knows... she knows everything yet she chose me." I say.
"You are going to hurt her... don't do this son. You have so much to live for. Don't throw it all away because of your guilt." He says.
"Are you going to stop us? Forbid the ceremony?" I ask ignoring his pleas.
"No... as much as I hate it Emily is grown. If I forbid it she will just mark you on her own and I'm not confident you could resist her a second time. I want to be there for my daughter... I just hope you change your mind. In spite of your past you are a good man, Asher. She loves you. Think about her please... don't hurt my baby." He begs me. He looks like he's about to cry.
"I'll do my best sir." I say.
"Good... well after last night your mate decided to move up the ceremony." He tells me.
"What?! When?" I ask.
"Today... take the day. I had a suit placed in your room. Be ready and in the banquet hall at 5 tonight." He tells me.
"Umm.. thank you sir... where's Emily?" I ask. He chuckles.
"In her room upstairs. I let her move back to the pack house." He says and I look to the door. "Go boy. Talk to your mate." I get up and run out the door.
It is now 0700. I doubt she is even awake yet. I open her door and slip in. As expected she is out like a light. Half covered in a blanket lying on her stomach one leg straight the other knee bent to its extreme she sleeps with her arms under her head. Beautiful.
"Are you gonna just stare at me all morning?" She mumbles not opening her eyes.
"You know why I'm here." I tell her.
"You said I get to pick the date... I picked... you can't be mad." She says eyes still closed.
"I'm not... confused maybe but not mad... why?" I ask. Finally she sits up. Flipping on the bedside light she looks at me.
"Yesterday you made me realize how little time we have... if I only get my mate for a short time I'm going to make the most of it." She explains.
"Okay... I'm kinda nervous tho." I confess. She laughs.
"Big ole Gamma mate is n..n.nn..nervous?" She stammers.
"Alright I'm leaving." I say and turn to the door.
"No! I'm sorry! I was just joking!" She yells jumping on my back. I fall back onto the bed dislodging her from me and standing back up.
"Come on... get dressed and we'll get breakfast." I tell her. She smiles at me and runs into the closet.
At breakfast Emily was pulled away from me by her mother before we finished in order to prepare.
Well I've got hours before I need to be ready... what now?
"There's my little Gamma!" Beta Malak calls walking up to me.
"Malak." I greet him.
"You should be preparing for tonight. What are you doing here?" He asks.
"Ummm.. breakfast." I point at my nearly empty plate.
"You look done to me. Come on." He says.
"And where are we going?" I ask.
"You aren't close to any guys your own age around here." He says. I thank of Odin, Aries, and Anhur... I miss them.
"What's your point?" I ask.
"Batchelor Party... you aren't missing out on that just because your mate is impatient." He grins at me.
"What's that?" I ask and his jaw drops.
"You're joking right?!" He asks stunned.
"Kidnapped at ten. Raised by psychopaths. Made into a living weapon. Assume I don't know about alot of things." I tell him.
"Last day as a free man. It should have been last night so you'd have time to recover but oh well. We will just have to make due with a couple hours." He says.
"I still dont get it." I say.
"We Party you idiot!" He yells.
"Ryan is coming with his kids. He'll be joining us along with his son who is 18. Alpha declined since your mate is his daughter and all... we go to the bar..."
"I don't drink." I cut him off.
"Seriously?... hummm well... what do you do for fun?" He asks.
○●○●○●○
"This is the strangest Batchelor party I've ever been drug to." Alpha Ryan says putting in ear protection.
"The boy don't drink... what was I supposed to do?" Malak responds donning his safety glasses.
"I think its sweet!" The Alpha's teenage son, Brady, says as he takes his stance.
In our own lanes we each take aim and fire downrange.
"Wolves don't use guns. We are the weapons." Alpha Ryan argues as he looks at his target. It's not bad but Malak did better and won't let him forget it.
"Its good to be proficient in all forms of weaponry." I tell him. He rolls his eyes.
"I'm bored!" The Alpha says. His fiery hair and freckles make him look much younger. Plus I've never heard an Alpha so... so... childish. He honestly reminds me of Anhur... I miss my boys.
"Alright. Clean the guns and we can go." I say. He just groans as we go over to the table.
"Dude you like destroyed the bullseye." Brady says retrieving my target. I just nod and quickly disassemble my weapon. "Woh! Teach me that! You were so quick!" I laugh.
"Years of practice... here." I show him what to do. He is an edgar learner. Once we are cleaned up we head to the car.
"Now what?" I ask.
"Your party." Malak responds.
"No clue... we could just go hom..." I start.
"Icecream!" Brady yells and we all laugh.
"I guess we're going for Icecream." I say.
Around 1545(3:45pm) we make it back to the pack house laughing at the teen who struck out with the cashier at the Icecream shop.
"You aren't dressed yet!" Luna Queen Bella screams at us as we enter.
"On our way Bella." Malak responds.
"You better be dressed for my baby's mates ceremony or so help me I will kill you all and stitch you into the suits myself!" She yells and we all shrink back. "NOW!"
With that command we run up to my room where apparently all our wedding stuff was placed. We all quickly change just as I finish buttoning my shirt the king walks in.
"Give us a minute." He says to the guys and they leave. "Dont forget the tie." He says handing me the strip of fabric.
"Umm..." I look at it questionably.
"Alright." He flips up my collar and begins to tie the tie around my neck. "I couldn't always do this ya know... I was getting ready to become King and my sister was tying my tie for me. Talk about embarrassing."
"What did you want to talk about?" I ask as he folds down my collar.
"Meme sent me. Afraid you'd pull a runner." He says.
"I guess that's the reason for the Batchelor party then." I say.
"No, that was Malak. He likes you. Thought you could use it." He tells me.
"It was fun... I told her I'm not going anywhere... I'm nervous, yes, but I'm not leaving her." I say.
"Until you kill yourself that is." He says and I sigh.
"Until the end. However it comes." I respond.
"Alright pup, I won't push. It's time to go... I'm happy to have you as a son if that counts for anything." He smiles.
"It does sir... thank you." He nods to me and we head for the banquet hall.
