Page 250 of The Alpha and His Song: Volume One

There was a begrudging acceptance behind his words. Chase’s wolf was laughing. Tatum offered, “His wolf is Bolt.” Well, his children were crazy fast so hopefully he was too, with a name like that. I linked Lux, “Can we link too?”

My brother replied, “Yes, you’re my sister.” I said, “Your markings are cool.” Lux admitted, “Scarlett said they look just like yours.” I blurted out, “You’re not going to leave, right? I don’t even have your number. I guess I have your email.”

Lux assured me, “I’m not leaving, Odette. There’s lots to discuss, and I can spend the night here if necessary. They have the room, and I have before.” I teased, “Aren’t you going to be with your mate?” Lux laughed, “Absolutely.”

Tatum ran over and nuzzled his wolf. I repeated that with all my brothers then jumped excitedly around Keaton again. Channing and Tatum ended up running to the top of the mountain. My mate shifted back when we got up there.

I stared hungrily at him because the man was naked. That didn’t make sense. Melanie was fully clothed when she shifted back. I asked Tatum, “How do we shift back?” My wolf answered, “Think of human form.” I did what she said.

Sassy was quietly and happily singing in my head. I realized I was naked too. Jeez. Keaton pulled me against him. I giggled, “That was fun.” Then kissed him hard. My mate groaned, “Everyone is waiting for us.” I whispered, “Let them wait.”

Keaton snorted, “They might kill me.” I pouted, “How about we have another quickie then?” My mate whispered, “Fuck. I can’t say no to you.” Then put me on all fours and slid into me. Keaton groaned, “You’re so wet for me, my Song.” I moaned, “Key.”

My man slammed into me and brought us to our release again quickly. Keaton slowly pulled out after he came and ran to get some clothes. My boyfriend came back with clothes that looked like they were mine. Tatum huffed, “Don’t think of mate as a boyfriend. That’s so much less than he is.” Well, it was a habit!

I asked, “How did you get these?” Keaton answered, “I linked Immy.” I asked, “So, is everyone I know a wolf?” Keaton laughed, “Immy is part Fairy part Hood, not a wolf. She’s in our pack though so she can link those that are.”

I asked, “I’m sorry, she’s part what now?” Keaton said, “The Hood is a group of Supernatural’s blessed with advanced speed among other things.” I teased, “So you’re my Hood Alpha?” I winked at him. Keaton growled, “Yes, I am part Hood.”

I thought back on something Jag told me. I asked, “Are you the Silver Blade?” Keaton stiffened, “Where did you hear that name?” Tatum told me, “Channing is in shock.” So, that was a yes. I smiled, “Around. I was told the name by someone who was very scared of the Silver Blade. I should be scared, but I’m not. Which tells me that’s because it’s you.”

Keaton tapped my nose, “We can talk about that later.” I teased, “I’m pretty sure I met your mom too. I felt I had to protect her. You were scared of the long nailed chick, because your mom was out there. I’m totally right. Your mom is the female Robin Hood!”

Keaton laughed, “The woman you met is a member of the Hood. We call her the Black Arrow.” I poked his side, “But you call her mom and she said I could call her BA.” My mate laughed, “We can talk about that later.” We could, but I was right.

I jumped on Keaton’s back, “Show off your speed, Alpha Flash.” Keaton chuckled, “Hold on tight.” Then took off. I gasped feeling the wind on my face. We were back at the house in a literal minute. I gasped and jumped down, “You really are Alpha Flash.”

I heard someone squeal, “YES HE IS! What a lovely nickname. I’ll still come up with my own, but I will add my flare to it.” I asked, “Who are you?” He answered with a bow, “I am Dylan Frost.” I smiled, “I know you.”

Dylan jumped up, “Excuse me?! Was I foiled by a cookie again? Did someone take my memories? I WILL HAVE VENGEANCE! LOOK ALIVE LSGAP! YOU ARE MY VENGEANCE VESSEL AND I CALL UPON THEE!”

I giggled, “Melanie said you were funny.” Dylan instantly relaxed, “Ahhh, Melashley told you about me. Fine. I won’t activate LSGAP. Such a brave Alpha getting his swagger on has given he’s about to walk inside smelling like you do. Come on now pups, my show must continue.”

Smelling like we do? Tatum explained, “Werewolves have a very strong sense of smell. They can smell we had sex.” Well, that’s just embarrassing. We walked inside and several people stiffened. Dad growled at Keaton.

I shrank into my mate and Keaton’s arms went around me. Haley cleared her throat, “How was your first run?” I smiled, “It was great! It’s so beautiful here.” A man stepped forward that I knew all too well. I smiled, “Hi, EJ. I mean, I assume you’re EJ. Melanie talked about you too.”

EJ smiled, “I am EJ.” He stuck his hand out, “As the Alpha of Black Mountain, I accept you, my Aunt Odette Sargasso Conners, into the pack as an Alpha Female.” I felt a connection snap in my mind. Tatum told me, “That’s the pack link. I can close it out.”

I decided to listen for a minute. Someone linked, “What do you think her favorite food is? Did you see how pretty she was? Those Conners genes just damn. MAN! Of course, a Daniels already scooped her up. She’s stunning.”

“I feel so bad for former Alpha Nathan. He always wanted a little girl, then she was just cruelly kept from him. It’s not fair. Her wolf is so pretty. I hope we can be friends. Probably. Yellow Hills has all said she’s super nice.” Wow. I was all the gossip right now. Tatum closed the link.

I smiled, “Thanks, EJ.” Dad said, “I had Haley snap a room for you here. Immy came over and helped. We can change anything you don’t like.” I was moving. Oh, god. I was moving. I said, “But Tatum is…” I trailed off then shouted, “Oh my god!”

Dad frowned, “Your wolf will love living in a pack.” I shook my head, “No, my dog’s name is Tatum! She’s been alone all this time.” Keaton assured me, “Immy and May have her. Tatum is perfectly fine.” Tatum, my wolf, sighed, “Ahh yes, the protector.”

I asked Caspian, “What is my dog?” Caspian laughed, “Once we surface, our Palicoes come to us. Lux will be getting his, though I doubt it will appear as some yippy little dog.” I said, “She’s not really like a little dog. She killed a rogue.”

Eric chimed in, “I’m sorry, what?!” Caspian smirked, “Yes, Tatum will be able to kill many things. She may look like a yippy dog, but she’s not a regular dog. Tatum will protect you at all costs. Palicoes are very strong.”

I asked, “What’s yours?” Caspian answered, “My Palicoe is a giant seahorse. Trit’s is an octopus.” I bet it was a large one. I asked, “Do I have to move? School is almost over and I have friends again.” Haley said, “You don’t have to switch schools.” Oh, thank god.

Haley added, “You wouldn’t even have to do that next year if you don’t want to. Riley, the secretary there, lives here. She gets popped to work or she drives. That’s not a big deal. Keaton is of course welcome to stay here with you.” Dad growled, “In his room.”

Haley rolled her eyes continuing, “In your room, Odette. Since we all know separating mates is cruel, and that will not be happening in this damn house.” She turned to all the men, “All of you love Keaton. My godson is a good man, and you will remember that you love him. You have watched him grow up, and Odette could do no better. Nor could he, I can already tell. So, none of this fucking growling bullshit.”

Haley turned back to me, “Obviously, Keaton is about to take on the mantle and some responsibilities as Alpha, so you’ll have to stay there. Lexi already cleared out some space in Keaton's closet, and I conjured you some things there.”
