Chapter Two
Kira's POV
I rolled out of bed with a grunt, and fell on the cool floor, if my body temperature had been any lower I would have screamed at the coldness. Wearing only boxer shorts and a white tee, I slowly lifted up onto my knees, rubbed my eyes and blinked as I looked at my alarm clock.
"Nine o'clock, am! Damn it." I groaned, and stood up, it was way to early to be up, but I had pack business to go to. I stretched, grabbing a pair of pants from my drawer, a black tank, bra and underwear. Throwing them into a cloth bag, I walked outside, some of my pack was out and about, but not much of them. There had been a full moon last night, so I let my pack celebrate to early in the morning. I had of course only gone to bed a few hours ago and now had to get up. In packs no one notices nakedness because everyone phases and our clothes don't phase with us. I pulled off my tee and boxer shorts, at ease with my naked form and threw them back into my cabin, closing the door, I phased.
I got on all fours, my skin rippled, and I transformed into my beautiful full black wolf. I picked up the cloth bag with my mouth, leaping down off of my porch, I ran for my morning run, stretching my body and waking my mind up. My wolf was alway restless even after my run, according to the Elders it was because I hadn't claimed a mate yet. They just want me to settle down like my brother Alan, with Emma and their adorable kids Belle and Gwen.
If I was honest with my self and wolf I wanted a mate, but my true one. Someone I could share everything with and not be afraid of judgement. Yes, that's right the strong and independent Alpha of the Della pack wanted someone to love her and understand her unconditionally.
I may be an immortal, but I still had human needs. Being alive for over a hundred years had it's price, loneliness. My wolf growled in agreement, she had always guided me in the right direction, but sometime I wonder if she liked detours. She snorted at me, she wasn't confused she said to me, just slow in finding something she needed. She wanted to be absolutely sure.
Well, stop taking so damn long.
Don't blame me for you being impatient, I am a very patient wolf thank you.
Sometimes I wonder if talking to your wolf in a third person was normal, but what the hell is normal in the immortal world? My wolf sighed, she was probably tired of me criticizing her for so long. She and I are the same I was tired of doing this to myself as well, maybe being with some good wolf would calm both of us. Sometimes I almost give when the Elders tell me it was time to take a mate.
I finally came up to the cabin where they held meetings with the Elders and other packs, I phased back dropping the cloth bag and pulling the clothes out of it. After I dressed I walked into the cabin, there was a round conference table and around it was the pack leader of the Uslin Clan, Raven, his hair was black as the raven so he was named as so, his two beta's who even with my wolf senses couldn't see well, and the Elders; Adrian, Martha, and Eddie.
"Hello, Kiranna. It's nice to see you again."
"As it's nice to see you again as well, Raven. How is your mate, Genevieve?"
"Well, very well. We are expecting more cubs."
"Congrats, so lets get the formalities out of the way. What do you want, dear cousin?" Raven snorted.
"Won't let me have any fun Kira will you?" I shook my head. "Well, both of my betas here would like to as you something, Kristy?" The first beta stepped out of the dark and into the light she was very pretty, russet hair, blue, ice blue eyes and a bridge of freckles crossing her nose.
"Well, my Alpha for good reason won't let me go to town to met a good friend of mine, he doesn't trust her, and I know you are best friends with her brother, Trenton. My Alpha gave me the options to be able to see her if I'm supervised, until she is deemed trustworthy, but Alpha doesn't want her over on our pack grounds till then. So I'm asking if it wouldn't be much trouble if I could visit here with Thea."
An odd request, if she wanted to hang out with Thea so bad, then why denied her? Perhaps Kristy likes Thea more than just a friend?
"I as Alpha of the Della Clan, accept your request for as long as you may want to visit until such time by your Alpha deems her trustworthy."
"Thank you, very much." She nodded her head and stepped back into the shadows.
"Now, Jason come forth and ask your request." Jason stepped out of the shadows, he was tall and very musclier, with light brown hair and beautiful olive green eyes. My wolf took one look at him, howled and became very possessive all of a sudden of Jason. Without thought I took a deeper look at him, me and Jason growled together the one word I'd never thought I'd say.
"MINE." We both rumbled, I gasped, shook my head. Jason tried to say something, but I shook my head again, bolting for the door and I sprinted to my cabin.
Jason's POV
"Damn it!" I moaned out as Kira ran out of the cabin scared to death, I dropped my head in my hands and tried to take deep breath as so I didn't run after her, exhilarated at the thought of a chase with my mate.
"Well, well. This was unexpected, we were hoping Jason would persuade Kira to try to think about becoming mates with his cousin, but it seems that Jason claimed her all on his own." The Elders from Kira's pack looked surprised as well. I squeezed my hands into balls and tried not to think of how much I wanted her, my mate.
"I screwed up, big time. Damn panther, I told you no." I growled at myself. Martha one of the Elders shook her head.
"You didn't screw up Jason, your panther did what he was supposed to. It seems we found a true mating."
"I scared her away, did you see the pure terror on her face? DAMN IT!" I growled loudly and punch the wall, the physical pain lessen the emotional.
"Little brother, calm down."
"I can't she was so afraid, so shocked, it hurt Kristy it hurts." Kristy my big sister came over and rubbed my back saying soothing things, things that calmed my panther down just enough. Adrian spoke up.
"Take her Jason, don't let her get away. We've been trying years to get Kiranna to claim a wolf where all along her mate was a panther, go chase her like your panther tried to get you to do." My panther came up to the surface and hissed.
"Mine, Kira your mine." I hissed out, and pounced outside and followed the scent of my mate.
Kira's POV
Well, you told me to stop taking so long, one look at Jason our mate it was all over.
Why did you have to pick him? Of all Were's him! He's devastating.
You like it don't deny it, Jason is for us.
Shut up! I need to think without your dialogue. My wolf snorted, and went back beneath the surface, waiting to come out again. I sprinted throw the trees my pace was quick, but not quick enough within a minute I heard Jason crashing through the trees and gaining on me. I may be an Alpha, but I couldn't outrun him! Why? I should be all powerful to this beta, yet I'm not.
