She is the baby, and the only girl, and she knows that she has all of us wound around her little finger.

“I will try big brother, but I may need some under stuff too depending on the neckline of the dress. But I hear you. I won’t break the bank”

Simone tells me and her dimple flashes as she smiles up at me. I can’t stop myself from smiling back at her. I love her, and she will get what she wants while we are here.

I feel excited as soon as we enter, and I don’t know why. Axe is jumping around in my head and saying something, but I am too busy trying to catch the scent that is absolutely intoxicating me. Thankfully, Simone is dragging me towards it. I can smell it in the store, not while I was getting measured for my tux, but on Simone’s side, one of the dressing rooms smells just like hyacinths, which my mom likes to plant in our garden. My mate smells like spring to me, and it makes my heart feel lighter than it has in a long time. I am so close to finding her, and I love that her scent is one of my favorite spring flowers.

Luck is with me today as my sister decided that she wanted the second dress that she tried on. We went into another store when she when in to get a strapless bra for her new dress, and I stayed outside. I didn’t feel comfortable going in with her into that store anyway and sent her in with my card. I could scent my mate had been here too and jealousy flared up in me. She is mine, I don’t want anyone else to see her in those garments. I received a call on my cell and stepped away from the store to get to an area where I could speak freely in.

“Brandon, did you threaten Cheryl for telling you that she loved and wanted to be with you?’ I heard my Gamma, Silas Peters, ask me.

“Silas, as I have told you numerous times. I want my mate, I will not take a chosen mate. Even if I did, it would NOT be Cheryl. We have discussed this repeatedly, and you need to take what I say more seriously. I don’t think you are quite up to speed yet, I also told her if she didn’t stop her campaign to try to force my hand, that I would be banishing her. Not just her, but your whole family Silas, will be banished from the Black Adder pack. Did she happen to tell you that part of it? Or just the part she wanted you to hear? I know she didn’t, as you have nothing to say about it. I was serious every time I spoke to you about it. I have scented my mate. Either you get Cheryl to stop, or you will have to leave Black Adder. I will not bring my mate home, and she be allowed to be bullied in her own pack”

I told Silas. He still hasn’t said a word, he had been stunned into silence. He knew I was pissed off about it, but to hear that his son could lose the Gamma position if they are kicked out of the pack should wake him up. I meant every word of it, and he knew it. I don’t make idle threats.

“You just found your mate? What? When? Because you didn’t have her this morning. At least you didn’t advise us of her in our meeting this morning”

Silas said when he could finally speak. He sounded suspicious of what I had just said, like I was lying to him, to get Cheryl off my back. Silas had taken a chosen mate. He wanted an attractive person, so he picked one, but she wasn’t very bright. He thinks that I need to do the same, so I can run the pack with a clear-minded focus. He does not like the mate bond, he feels like it would be like someone else being in control of him. He wants to be in total control, of himself, and his actions. The thing that is most irritating to me is that he totally ignored what I had said to him, yet again. We have spoken about his daughter going too far, on numerous occasions, and instead of stopping her, she slows down for a little while and then starts up again with her sneaky plans. I want him to realize that it won’t just be her getting punished anymore. He either does something to stop her, or they won’t be allowed to stay in our pack anymore.

“I scented her. I haven’t found her just yet, Silas. But I know that she is here, where I am, and I am going to find her. So Cheryl has to stop. You have given a final warning now too. I am not making an idle threat to you. So, do not try me on this Silas, I will protect my mate, no matter what you decide to do, or not do, about it. I will never take your daughter to be my mate. Once you and she accept it, we will have no further issues”

I told him and let some of my power out when I did. Silas needs to realize that I am not making a suggestion, but an order.

“I will speak to her Alpha, right now, before you get back to the pack,”

Silas tells me, and I can tell that he sounds nervous. I could care less if he gets upset or not about what I said. He has known I wanted my mate since I was young. My parents are true mates, and they dote on each other. I want what they have for me. I won’t take a poor imitation as my mate. My parents agreed with me on it, and that is why they help to pitch in when they can to help me. They want me to be happy, and my mate will make me happy. I turned to head back to my sister when I scented my mate again, I turned to see her across the mall from me at a shoe store. I can’t stop my feet from heading right toward her. She is gorgeous, and I cannot take my eyes off of her. I see that she is with Alpha Cole and Beta Timothy, and my heart started beating faster. I bet she is the daughter that Alpha Cole is introducing at the ball.

I stop walking and thank the Moon Goddess for her choice for me. I continued to stare at her when I see her head suddenly come up and I know that she is about to look around to see who is staring. I quickly glance away and put my phone to my ear like I am on a call. I wait about a minute and then casually glance around the mall, but she is speaking with Luna Olivia and not paying attention to see who had been staring at her anymore. I go back to where Simone was, and it was perfect timing, she was just exiting the store, but she has three bags with her, and knew I had been gone too long. I just reached out my hand and she frowned before giving me my card back. I pretend to be upset with her, but I haven’t taken her to the mall for a long time, and she knows that I am just messing with her.

I see my mate heading for the food court and suggest to Simone that we should grab lunch while we are here at the mall. She is excited and immediately heads there too. I gave her some money and told her to get me whatever she gets for herself, and that I will watch the bags. Simone happily takes off and I sat where I could see my mate.

She seems really nice. I have not heard anything about her, but I am sure there will be an announcement made at the ball. I am really looking forward to the ball, but I can see how protective Alpha Cole is over her.

I will have to give him a call this week and tell him that I believe that I am her mate. Our packs have never had any issues with each other, so there shouldn’t be any problems when I see her head come up again. I am sitting pretty far away from her, she won’t be able to sense me just yet with all the people in here. I wait another two minutes to look at her again.

I cannot wait to get to meet her at the ball. I will be getting my pack ready for her arrival. I will tell Simone and Krew about her tonight and tell our parents when they get back. They will be thrilled too. But I will make sure that I get with her dad before I tell anyone. I think that he will be glad at my being upfront with him telling him that his daughter is my mate. From the looks of it, they are all very protective of her, I hope that my reaching out to Alpha Cole bodes well for me.
