Filed to story: Divorce Tears From The Alpha (Ella & Holden)
Sleep finally claimed her emotionally and physically exhausted body.
Holden POV
Jeremy was in hysterics, literally rolling around in his bed laughing so hard, that tears were coming out of his eyes. He thought it was absolutely hilarious that Holden’s Mate had turned out to be the knife wielding, bow toting she-wolf. Who had showed him up and was more than happy to piss him off at every turn.
Laughed even harder when he’d found out it was his Mate, who had taken claws to the Alpha’s own vehicle. The tears had rolled out of him him when he’d heard she’d yelled “Hell’s No.” and stormed out of the Alpha’s office and away from him. Especially when he could see how Holden was dressed, to impress. Which clearly it had not. Finally found a she-wolf who could resist his Goddess given good looks.
“When you’re done laughing at my expense.” Holden huffed at him. He’d known this was going to be the reaction, and Goddess help him, when Jeremy relayed it to the rest of his unit, and Holden knew the man well enough to know he was going to, the first chance he got.
Even if Holden Alpha ordered the man not to say a word, he would find some bloody loop whole to get out of it and inform them. He was a devious bastard with a streak for pure mischief.
“Might take more than a minute.” he laughed up at his Alpha.
Holden walked over to his Beta and put a boot into him, shoved him clean off the other side of the bed and heard him land on the floor, with a satisfied thud. His laughing finally stopped but he was still smiling up at him.
“I want you to watch her.”
“Why I’m tired boss, barely had any sleep a few hours. Just walk over there, you know where she lives. Knock on her door, introduce yourself properly, and for once in your life, suck it up, apologise for the insults you called her, your mate. Problem likely solved.”
“Some how I don’t think it is going to be that easy.” his mind recalled the way Alpha Corey and his unit had laughed, just like Jeremy had done actually.
“Ah” he watched Jeremy nod and then chuckle “you’re probably right…you’ve probably pissed off the Moon Goddess herself. By refusing all these years, to attend or hold her mating balls for your pack members…Now she’s seen fit to punish you. With a Mate whose just as stubborn, defiant and only does what they want…Hmm remind you of anyone in particular.” he snorted at Holden, when Holden turned angry eyes on him.
Holden knew what he meant, a mate with the same temperament as him. Difficult to say the least.
“She’ll come around.” he knew she would, she was female and he drop dead gorgeous no woman cold hold out on him for long.
“And if she doesn’t?” Jeremy said finding clothes to put on “there is such a thing you know. Rejection.”
Holden stared at his friend now, wide eyed. “Really! you think, she would reject me?”
“I don’t know Holden. I know nothing about her…Neither do you for that matter.”
“Will you trail her for the day, currently in her house sleeping I believe. Just set yourself up by the house, doze if you like but make sure Cal is on alert for her movements. I have to go and sort out my pack members, find out who mated off to other packs and who and how many will be joining ours. Get them organised and send them back to the pack ahead of us. It’ll be just you and I here after that, to deal with Ella.”
“Yeah, can’t you see I’m getting dressed here.” he raised an eyebrow at Holden and his tone implied are you blind.
Holden frowned at him, but just shook his head, “Thanks, link me if she does anything” he shrugged “you know…”
“You worried she’s got a boyfriend somewhere here boss?”
“What? No!..Well now I bloody do.” Holden had not even considered that, sh!t she might well have, high ranked warrior with a tiny human, curves in all the right places and a wolf that pretty. sh!t it was more than likely. If she did, he would have to go. Right away, no one was touching his mate.
Jeremy started laughing all over again, as he watched it dawn on Holden that his Mate, might be f*g some other wolf out there. “I’ll watch her, go do your Alpha duties.”
“Thanks!…anything out of the ordinary.”
“Sure thing boss, but what’s out of the ordinary for us, might not be for her.”
Holden glared at his Beta and left the room. It was nearing lunch time and he should have squared away his pack members by now, but had been preoccupied pacing around in his suite most of the morning. He found his pack members, kicked a few of the lazy bastards out of their beds. Shocking their new mates and had them all report to the front of the pack house for inspection. He could see her house from here and Jeremy casually leaning against a tree, just off behind it.
13 members of his pack had mates now, they were all loved up and looking happy it seemed. He lost 6 females to other packs, 2 to Half Moon Pack itself, one warrior and one school teacher, 7 of the 10 males had found mates here at the ball, that was good.
Mated wolves were generally happy wolves. He noted the other Alpha’s all waiting around on him, to sort out some of his going to them. They didn’t seem all that annoyed, one of them, Alpha Frederick, who he knew, smiled right at him a knowing smile, and as he’d headed off, had nodded his head and hollered “Good luck Holdener.”
It was clear the man knew of him finding his Mate and that, he was having a difficult time with it, at that. Who had spilled the beans he didn’t know, had to be Alpha Corey or his unit, no one else really knew. Jeremy may laugh a him and be itching to tell Kevin and Braidy, but he wouldn’t be so disrespectful, as to blab to other packs.
‘Boss, she’s leaving pack territory, eastern border. Wolfed right out of her house and headed off clear in her direction.’
‘What the hell’
‘Cal will stay with her, you’d better get out here and catch her.’
‘Yes.’ Holden agreed, he was mad now. What was she thinking, was she just going to run away and not deal with their Mate Bond. Neither one of them would be able to move on if she just left and neither of them broke the bond. Was she so dumb? did she not know how a bond worked?…Maybe being wolf-less for most of her life, she didn’t. s**t has she got no education at all!
He was stalking his way past the pack-house headed for the eastern border when Alpha Corey’s Delta Pete, called out to him “Alpha Holdener, Alpha Corey needs a word.”
