The alpha's defiant mate

The following morning, I woke up and got ready for the day. I was surprised at the knock on my front door. I was not expecting anyone this morning. Axel and his mate Cassidy came over to welcome me to the pack. It was good to see Axel after so long.

"How have you been?" Axel asked. "I would like to introduce you to my mate cassidy. She and I met when your parents and us first came over here to meet the pack. I knew she was my mate immediately. It was just like your parents told us that it would be. We intuitively know and so does our wolf that we belong together and there is nothing like the love that I feel for her and the fact that I would never let anything, or anyone harm her."

"I am so happy for you Axel. I am also incredibly happy to see you again.” Alexis said. "I have missed seeing you and knowing that you were right there to keep us all safe. You have always been one of our best warriors and always kept us safe.”

"We were on our way to the training grounds and thought you might want to train with us today. Cassidy is one of the top warriors here at the Mountain of the Moon pack. we were looking forward to having you come practice with us this morning.” Axel said.

"It is genuinely nice to meet you, Alexis. You remind me of your mom. You look a lot like her and seem to have the same demeanor as she had. I was extremely glad that your mom became part of our pack before the rogues showed up that night and fought with us.” Cassidy said admiringly.

I went to my room and got dressed in workout clothes so that I could join training today. It will be nice to get to know the people that I am going to be a part of a pack with. Once I changed my clothes I met up with Axel and Cassie in my living room. We left and headed towards a training grounds for a good workout.

The first few people I ran into were Roman, Nico, and Leo. I knew I would enjoy today's training when these are the guys that I would be training with. Suddenly, I had this wonderful smell come to me from somewhere near the training grounds. The smell was a fresh cut cedar wood and orange blossoms. I could not believe that something could smell that wonderful. I looked around and could not figure out where that smell was coming from.

We all got together and one of their top warriors was teaching training this morning. The longer I was there training that wonderful smell just kept getting stronger. I knew that Alpha Zack was supposed to show up for training and at some point but, I had not met him yet. Before we went to training Alex had explained that April and I and her family would be added to the pack after lunch. I will meet the alpha then.

The smell got stronger and in the middle of training I looked up and saw this gorgeous man. He was taller than everyone else. He stood about 6 ft 5 with dark hair and deep brown eyes with gold specks in them. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen with my own two eyes. I leaned over to April and pointed him out and told her that I thought he was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen.

As Alpha Zack came to the training grounds, he gets the lovely smell of Japanese cherry blossoms and a slight hint of vanilla. It was the most arousing aroma he had ever smelled. He knew there were new people on the pack lands, but he had not met this young lady yet and could not wait to get to know her. He will be meeting all the new recruits after lunch, and he will be able to find her when they do the ceremony later today. This was going to be a long training session knowing that my mate is near, and I do not know who she is and will not know until after lunch.

After training I decided to go back to my house for a while. Until lunch time Alexis decided to shower and get ready for the rest of the day. She went out into the yard and started planting the herbs, plants, and flowers she had brought with her from home. This would make it easier to be there with a part of her mom with her since she missed her so much.

Both Alpha Zack and Alexis were looking forward to lunch time because they both knew they were going to meet their faded mates. They still did not know that they were each other's mates, but lunch would be coming soon enough. Lunch would be held at the pack house so that the pack ceremony could be announced there. All the pack members would be in attendance, and everyone would know once Alpha Zack and Alexis get together and realize that they are fated mates. The only part of the matter would be that Alexis is still blames him for her parents fighting the rogues and dying during that war.
