~~ Falena ~~ Well, that was a more exciting wedding than I had expected it to be. Yeah sure, there was the ceremony, there was the reception, there was me finding a mate and then another person finding a mate, and finally the Sentinelle showing up to announce that the Red Springs pack had the newest incarnation of the Moon Goddess. Nothing big right? Fuck that! It was massive as all fucking hell. I can't believe I found my mate at that wedding. And to think that I didn't even want to go. I would have kicked my own ass if I hadn't gone and met him. Not to mention Shane was hot as well. I loved the look of his body too, I couldn't wait to lick all over him with my tongue. What? I am an animal you know. I'm allowed to act like it every now and then. Right now I was on my way back to the pack house. I needed to tell Landon what had happened. I just knew he was going to have a field day with this knowledge. When I knocked on the door to his office he grumbled his answer to me. "Just get your ass in here Lena, why do you bother to knock?" "Maybe because I don't know what you're doing and don't want my retina scarred." I laughed as I opened the door and walked in. "Hardy har har. That was so funny I think I forgot to laugh." He rolled his eyes as he set his pen down and glared at me. That was quite the feat, to roll his eyes and glare at me. I don't know how he managed it, but that's what he did. Multi-talented prick. "Boy, you seem to be in such a great mood." There was an excessive amount of sarcasm dripping from those words. "Oh, you could tell?" His sarcasm matched my own. "I just love it when the man who is supposed to help me run this fucking company ups and leaves town without telling me. That's the best thing in the world you know." "So, Greg went on that vacation he was talking about even though I told him not to?" "Yeah, that asshat." I watched as Landon ran his hand through his hair and sighed with exhaustion. "This is why I don't ask for help, no one is reliable." "Hey, I resent that." I laughed at him as I flopped in the chair across from him, just as exhausted from yesterday. "Yeah, you're the only person I seem to be able to rely on." He laughed as he looked at me. "I'm thinking of making you my Beta you know, since I still don't have one." "Seriously?" I could tell I was giving him the most shocked face I could manage. "Yeah, what do you think?" "I think that I am honored, seriously. Are you sure you want me?" "I couldn't imagine anyone else." "Then thank you." We were both smiling at each other now, happy with the outcome that the conversation had taken. I honestly couldn't believe that he had asked me to be his Beta, that was huge. Almost as big as the news I had for him. "So, what did you need when you came in here, since I usurped the conversation and sidetracked you?" "Well, I had some news for you." I was getting nervous now and I didn't really know why. "What kind of news?" He tilted his head and looked at me with wonder filled eyes, sometimes he was so childlike. "Well, I met someone recently." "Meaning?" He hadn't gotten my reference. UGH! "I met a guy." I tried again. "So what? I'm not your dad, you can date whoever you want." "You don't get it." I shook my head as I looked at the floor and put my hand on my forehead. "I met my mate." I guess direct was the only thing men understood. "Oh?" He sounded shocked and surprised to hear those words. "Well, that's great news." He was smiling now. "Where?" "At the wedding yesterday." I didn't know what he would say about my mate being a wolf. "So I'm guessing he isn't a feline." "Nope."?shook my head and waited for the hammer to fall. "Is he a wolf in Reece's pack?" "Yup." "Anyone I know?" "His name is Shane Asher." I didn't know if he knew Shane or not, but this was going to be an interesting time for me if he did. "I've heard of him but never met him. He's a warrior, right?" I nodded my head in agreement. "Well, congrats. Make sure you bring him by to meet me sometime." "Seriously? That's it?" I was confused. "You don't have anything else to say?" "Did you want me to forbid you from seeing him?" He was looking at me with curious eyes again. "No, I just didn't think that would be it." "I will save the grilling for when I meet him." I saw a devilish smirk and an invisible set of devil horns on his head since I just knew he was planning something. "Oh Goddess." I groaned into my hands. Following that revelation told Landon what had happened with Reece's mate, Trinity. He found that much more interesting and had actually scolded me for not leading with that. Sorry, but my love life is more in the forefront of my mind right now. ~~ Shane ~~ Lena and I had made plans to go on a date three days after the wedding, that would make it Saturday night. But then the day after the wedding I was notified that I would not be in town for that night. Lena at first thought I was lying, trying to get out of the date. It took me a while to convince her that I was telling the truth about where I was going. It broke my heart having to break the date too. I wanted to go on it so bad. I wanted to get to know my mate more and have a good time, and maybe get a little more. I promised her that we would reschedule once we got back from the mission and she accepted. And boy was there going to be a lot to tell her now. I had been blessed by the Goddess to get an extra special power. I had fought giant combo monsters that were big, nasty, and fucking ugly. Unfortunately Trinity lost her baby but we did manage to save twenty four kids and six captive Warlocks. I know that is not a perfect balance there but at least no one else had to die. We were gone for two nights and were exhausted after the trip so I slept like a log when I got home. After that, though, I was ready to have my date with Lena. I called her up and made plans for that same night. I asked her where it was that she wanted to go, if there was anything special she wanted to do. She had grown up close enough to us that she came into Colorado Springs all the time so there were no real new places for me to take her, she knew them all already. We settled for dinner and a movie. You can't beat the classics sometimes right? I took her to a French restaurant that we both had been to and had seemed to like. I ordered a bottle of wine and hors d'oeuvres before we had placed our order for the main course. This place was the type that did full five course meals that we could sit and enjoy for a long time. During the dinner we enjoyed some more conversation. I found out that Lena was the middle child with one older brother and one younger brother. She had always been protected by her brothers who taught her to fight for herself and to never take shit from anyone. Her family seemed really close and I liked that. Shawn and I were the only two in our family and I couldn't imagine life without my twin brother there with me. That must sound pathetic given that I was in my mid twenties but it was the truth. Following dinner we went to see a movie, one that I let Lena pick for us. It was an action movie, not a romantic chick flick or romcom. She was truly my soulmate wasn't she? The movie was awesome. We started with junior high basics, holding hands while watching the movie. But that all soon proved to be too tough and I was glad we had sat at the back of the theater. By the middle of the movie we were making out like real lovers and just as the movie ended I was ready to do something that I had never done before. Damn movie ending too soon, that could have been really fun. Oh well. The night had seemed to be going perfectly so I decided to ask her to come back to my place, and I was beyond elated when she had said yes.
