Roses's Dark Knight

Rose

In this short time, I found I had a wolf mate, an actual man that shifted into a wolf. And that he would protect me with his life. And even better that that. Yes, there is a better than giving ones’ life for your love. A wolf mate cannot cheat on you, of course there is drama. I mean hello world, there is no perfect anything, there is bound to be different opinions and feelings.

Wolfs mate for life. And this I know from actual wolves. I need to find out more about their world, shifter world. The very first one that pops in my brain is if there are more, like vampires, demons, dragons and others that have magic or are powerful.

Blanca, she has been on my mind. I mean literally, not just thinking of her. Our bond is strong, and I can sometimes feel what she is feeling. Just the basic feelings, like hate, sadness, happiness. And right now, I only got good vibes from her, meaning she is happy.

„Matteo?” I find him in his office as he is every day. Does he even take a break?

„Yes love.” Oh, how I love it when he calls me love. And it has become an everyday thing. And the fact that he might have snarled at his beta, Santo, for trying to tease him for calling me love all the time.

„Is it okay if I go see Blanca?” I ask.

„I might have forgotten to tell you that she is with her mate. Sorry?” he guiltily said.

„WHAT? And you simply forgot to tell me? Just like that? When? But who?” I started bombing questions. I knew she had some pack business in the neighboring pack because she will be the next beta but no one told me she found her mate.

„Did I tell you I make a mean lasagna?” Matteo is trying to make good with me. Now normally food will do the trick but being about Blanca and that he forgot to tell me. I am going full anger on him.

„DO NOT TRY TO DISTRACT ME WITH FOOD!” I am so mad at him, or maybe I am at myself because in my happy moments I forgot about her, and she about me.

A fringing mate. I am so happy for her and so mad at her at the same time.

„And we are invited at their mating celebration and her Luna party.” He looked like a puppy caught in the headlight of the car, or was it a deer? Can the big bad alpha be scared of me?

„Please explain. I have yet to find the library you keep at the pack house and learn about wolves.” I am mad but first I need to know why I am mad. I can see it is an important information that he kept from me but I don’t know how big.

„Sorry love. I will give you all the books you need. I am very impressed that you want to learn about us. I mean you could always ask me or Blanca’s parents.” He is complementing me. Kind of working.

„I love to read. And I better, because you are my mate! Nothing is going to change that. So, I need to brush up on my shifter knowledge.” Look at me, brush up, to afraid to say that I need to take a crash course on it. I know almost next to nothing.

Luck is in Matteo’s favor because someone clears their throat so he can have our attention.

„Alpha, we need to talk.” It was Santo, his beta. Do not get me wrong, I like the man, but I could strangle him right now for this. I wanted Matteo to tell me about shifters or give me some book but no, this happens.

„How about we go to the mall after I finish some pack business?” his eyes had flecks of gold in them, meaning his wolf was at the surface, itching to come out.

„Sure. But what for?” I had to ask. Keeping a surprise is lost on me. Like why do we make surprises. In my mind they are just lost, I don’t like surprises.

„So, you can buy a dress for the Luna ceremony. Blanca’s party.” He said without looking at me. He has the courage to go back to work. I guess I can’t change him if he doesn’t want to. And to think about it, he has been acting a little distant. Hope it is just about the work and not about me.

„Yes… Okay… Yes …” Matteo got up from his desk, kissed me on the lips like we are married for 50 plus years and just goes back to work with Santos sitting at the other end of the desk looking at me with wide eyes. Yes Santos, I also want to know what just happened.

Now how about that lasagna. I am going to cook for the pack today and lasagna is on the table. Just need to look over the recipe one more time. I wonder how much wolf shifters eat. I have to ask Blanca’s mother.

Matteo

I have been in contact with Alpha Marco because of pack business. We are good friends and our packs are allies. I am very happy for him because he found his mate. And of all the people who our mates could be they are sisters.

Rose wants to know more about us, about my world. And it makes me so happy that she is my mate. She will be a good Luna.

Something is not right. We have been having breaches in out pack lands but there is no scent to track and even with the added guards both in human and wolf form we can’t catch who it is. I am also worried because my wolf is silent, he hasn’t talked to me ever since I researched about Luna ceremonies and about choosing another mate, other than your true mate.

Rose has been asking me to teach her about our world. To teach her myself or to guide her to read some books. I am still trying to decide about what I should do about her, meaning if I should have her as a Luna. Yes, she is wonderful and I see myself falling for her but …

I am lucky because I knew it was Santo, I could smell him approaching, he cleared his throat hoping to get my attention. And he did. I was waiting for a way out of this conversation with Rose. Because I do not want to scare Rose and tell her to much.

„Alpha, we need to talk.” Using my title meant only business. Business I had to attend.

„How about we go to the mall after I finish some pack business?” my wolf started to imagine her getting naked and trying out dresses. Dresses we are so happy we can buy for her. That we can take care of our mate. And later when we got home from the ceremony taking the dress of and kissing every inch of her body.

„Sure. But what for?” her eyes were filled with uncertainty, making my wolf howl.

„So, you can buy a dress for the Luna ceremony. Blanca’s party.” And my wolf chimed in my head, so that we can tear that dress of and kiss you and worship your body, taste every inch of skin.

„Yes... Okay... Yes …” I wanted to kiss her and hold her or maybe that was my wolf. But I only placed a light kiss. Because I might not resist the urge and just take her here and now. She smelled so sweet. Because she is all mine. MINE!

As I went to my office with Santo all I could think was her, my Rose. But that soon faded.

„We have a lone-wolf at our border. Said, she wants to speak only to you. Regarding your mate.” Santo said in an official voice. He was angry because he cared for Rose like a daughter.

With those words my wolf wanted nothing else but to tear apart anything and anyone that came in front of him.

„Where is he?” I ask in my alpha voice.

„It’s a she. Only a messenger. Here to deliver it to you, Alpha.” Santo had his head low and neck out because I was going full alpha mode. Dominance seeped from my skin, my wolf only seconds from ripping said messengers throat out.
