A Secret Alpha Mate

(1sla)

“Alpha Benjamin, I strongly suggest that you get your lead omega in order, she has crossed the line one too many times.” Lucas blurts out when we make it back to the dining room. Everyone is standing up now looking ready to leave. Julianna looks smug and Alpha Benjamin looks annoyed.

“I really don't think it's up to a Beta to be telling me what to do.” He says indifferently shrugging him off.

“I really don't think it's up to an omega to be talking back to a visiting Luna.” Lucas retorts, “If we're pulling rank here.” Alpha Benjamin looks angry now but doesn't have anything to say. Jackson cuts in.

“Thank you so much for having us, we will be in touch once we speak to the other neighboring packs” He signals the end the night.

“Yes, it's always a pleasure. Let us know if anything changes.’ Those last words seemed to have a double meaning. jackson nods and Alpha Benjamin shows us all to the front door and we politely say our goodbyes. Abigail followed us nc making eye contact with anyone.

When we step outside I take a deep breath of cool, crisp, air, feeling like I can breathe for the first time all day.

“We will all have to have dinner together soon, this weekend perhaps?” I overhear Gianna talking to Abigail, “You're kind. her mother figure, aren't you? I think it's time that we join our families” I smile, I'm happy that Gianna was already welcoming her into the group, despite Gianna being a Luna and probably from a long line of rank.

I sit in between Jackson and Abigail as we head back. The Elder's man, or fake omega, I wasn't really sure, came back just time from the back of the packhouse as we were leaving. Jackson told me he would fill me in later and I was too busy catching up with Abigail to pay much attention to the other man anyway.

“The look on Meghan’s face, I can't believe you said that to her” Abigail is beside herself laughing, “She has deserved tha for months. Did you hear everyone? The cheering, it was something else.” I smile.

“It's definitely something that I won't forget.”

When we arrived back at the packhouse it was late but everyone was buzzing with energy.

“Baby, I have some things that I need to attend to in my office. I would like you to join in if you're up for it as it pertains you too.”

“Yeah, of course.” 'm confused but I know I would figure out soon enough.

“How about everyone takes thirty and meets me in my office?” He addresses the group, “Lucas, do you mind showing Abigail her room?”

“It would be my pleasure, Alpha,” Lucas says.

“Can I come too?” I ask no one in particular.

“Of course you can, Luna, survey more of your kingdom,” Lucas says, I roll my eyes but follow them up to the second floor He opens one of the first doors off of the staircase.

“Now we haven't had time to redecorate, but anything can be changed tomorrow, just say the word and it's done” Lucas opens the door, Abigail steps in behind him and gasps.

“This can't all be for me, there is no way that this is for me.” She doesn't take a step in. I come in behind her and take her hand. This room was large. A canopy king-size bed stood in the middle of the room with trailing white curtains, the famili stone covered the back wall, and the floor, a cream rug that matched the bedding covered most of the floor. Two massive windows framed the canopy bed and I saw an entrance to a private balcony.

There was a sitting area with a sofa and two chairs around a TV to one side and I saw two sets of double doors to the oth I guess Lucas wasn't lying about the walk-in closet or massive bathtub either.

“This can't be for me,” Abigail repeated.

“If you don't like it we can get you a two-story townhouse.” Lucas jokes.

“I don't even know how to thank you, I don't know what to say." Abigail turns to him.

“Welcome to the family.” Lucas gives her a huge kiss on the cheek, “I'll leave you guys alone for a few minutes. Meet us in Jacksons’ office when you're done helping her settle in He says to me.

“Thanks so much,” 1 say, truly meaning it. Once the door closes behind him Abigail looks at me, her eyes wide.

“I have to be dreaming, is this a dream?” She starts walking around the room running her hand along the back of the crez sofa, “Meghan killed me with that slap. I'm dead, I must be." I laugh.

“This is everything you deserve and more." I tell her, “Yes it is real. This is your new home, all of this is just for you." Abiga starts crying, but turns from me and keeps walking around. Her eyes bulge when she opens the doors to the bathroom ar sees its size.

“There's apparently a walk-in closet too," I say, walking in behind her.

“I have to go meet with Jackson for a minute, I can come back after?” I ask

“Don’t worry about me, honey. I'm just shocked that's all. I never imagined 1 would have a room to myself, especially something as grand as this." She motions to the room behind her, “You go spend time with your mate, I'll get settled here “ll see you first thing in the morning then, okay?” She nods.

“Sounds great, I think I might take a bath."

“Have you eaten yet?”

“No, but don't worry."

“I'll have something sent up.” I turn back, “I love you.”

“Love you too, darling. Thank you so much." I wave her off and shut the door behind her.

Having her here felt complete, I had my mate, my new friends and family, and my old family in one place. The anxiety I ha felt recently feels like it has dissipated around me and I head to the elevator to our floor.

“Oh, there you are, my Luna." Jackson growls seductively, coming out of his office, “I haven't had much alone time with yo today.” He pulls me into our room and into his lap on our couch and captures my mouth in a deep passionate kiss.

I pull him closer, wanting more, needing to be closer than him than anything in the world.

“Jackson,” 1 say finally pulling away.

“Yes, my love?"

“I think 'm ready,” I whisper not looking into his eyes. He tilts my chin up to look at him studying my face.

“Are you absolutely sure?”

“Yes!

“Well then.’ He gulps, I like that this made him nervous as butterflies were already starting to settle into my stomach, “Le get this meeting over with then.’

He stands up and places me on my feet, “Would you like to get changed before we go to my office?” I shake my head, this dress was actually more comfortable than I originally thought.

He mindlinks the guys and takes my hand in his. We get to his office and I'm surprised to find that Lucas, Cameron, his parents, and the other guy, Cacious I think, were already waiting outside in the hallway. He squeezes my hand.

“Let's do this." He opens the door and we all spill into his office, he finds the light switch and turns on the light. Someone behind his desk.

Sitting there confidently twirling something in her hands, long black boots on Jackson's desk, the skin of her thigh on full display. A short skirt, and shirt that is a bit too tight push her already perky boobs up. Golden perfectly curled hair falls around her face.

I sigh. Jennifer. Jackson's ex.

(Jackson)

As soon as I turn on the light I see a stranger in my seat and Flint is on full alert until I realize it was Jennifer. I let out an exasperated sigh, could we catch a break?

“l wasn't expecting a full welcome party, but I can't say I don't love the attention.” She flashes a smile at all of us taking h hooker boots off my desk and sits up in my chair.

My mother and father look at each other, and Cam and Lucas are both staring at me not sure what to do.

Isla drops my hand, that is not a good sign. If Jennifer's reappearance ruined the night for Isla and I there would be hell t pay.

“Jennifer!

“I told you, you don't need to be so formal, not with me at least” She looks up and bats her eyes at me.

“What are you doing here?”

“Ym part of this pack” I sigh.

“No, what are you doing, in here? In my office” I really didn’t have time for this.

“I had something that I wanted to discuss with you. Well, only you, but I guess this is fine too. Your parents are going to fi out sooner or later, and 1 would love to see the looks on their faces when they do” They look at me confused, I shake my head at them, I have no idea what's going on either.

“I really don't have time for this, we're in the middle of something. Can we discuss this tomorrow?” Isla stiffens beside me and I put my arm on her shoulder.

“wh your parents should be here for this though, they really should.” She gives me a fake pout.

“Spit it out, Jennifer” My dad finally says, “We have business to attend to, we don't have time for your little games.”

She fake pouts, “I'm sorry, William. I just wanted to see the looks on your faces when you're getting something you've bee waiting for” Neither of them responds.

“Ugh fine, if you guys are going to be all boring about this let's get down to the formalities” She pauses, loving the undivided attention everyone in the room is giving her.

“Should they call you grandma and grandpa? Or do you prefer something less traditional?"She c***s her head and looks them. No one says anything.

“What the F**k are you talking about, Jennifer?” The anger in my voice is not hidden at all.

“Oh baby, isn't it obvious?” She stands up and throws me something, I instinctively catch it, a white thick stick with two lines on it. 1 look back at her confused.

“You're going to be a daddy” The F**k, “I'm pregnant”
