Arranged Navy Alpha novel Chapter 7

Austin and I finally make it through the crowd. We follow Alpha George up the lawn and to the pack house. His office resided on the second floor and down so many hallways. It takes us a few minutes to make it up the stairs and to his office. The whole way there it was eerily quiet. The stairs didn't creak, no one sighed, or coughed- it was just- creepy quiet. The Alpha holds the door open for us.

"Sit.", He says coldly.

What- Alpha George was never cold to me. He was always nice, never raised his voice. Did I do something to upset him?

I sit down in a chair, but Austin immediately scoops me up and sits me in his lap. I smile at him and turn towards the Alpha. He was glaring at us- no- he was glaring at Austin. Though his glare was directed towards Austin, I cringed back at the intensity of it. Austin pulled me closer and kissed my hair. Alpha George sighed and sat in his chair.

"Austin, this is Laken."

"I know who she is, she is my mate."

"No shit son. This is The Laken!"

Austin tenses up and loosens his hold on me. I whimper,'The Laken?' what was that supposed to mean.

"And don't start with the, 'I can't be with her', thing because look she's already attached to you." The Alpha says pointing at me.

"Dad what do I do? I want my mate but are you saying I can't have her?" Austin yells making me cringe away from him.

He growls and pulls me into his chest. Wasn't he the one pushing me away a minute ago?

"No that's not what I'm saying Austin. I'm saying that you have a bigger responsibility now. She is not like other mates Austin, she needs you to protect her not just take her to bed." The Alpha growls.

Austin sighs and snuggles his nose into my neck. He starts breathing deeply, taking in my scent.

"Should we tell her?" Austin asks.

I finally gain my courage, "Hey I'm right here, so stop talking like I'm not!"

Austin pulls me closer and the Alpha only chuckles. Did I say something funny? Didn't think so old man.

"Take her some where Austin, I'm sure you want to get to know your mate."

Austin smiles and lets me slide down the wall to my feet before taking my hand and leading me down the rest of the corridor. He opens the last door on the right and I gasp. I could get used to this.

-Austin-

Her eyes light up when she sees the room. Was it really that cool? I mean I thought it was when I was younger but now I think it's kinda kiddish.

A 100 inch flat screen tv was mounted on one wall, which was a little dusty. A huge entertainment shelf was set underneath it. On that entertainment shelf was all of my childhood gaming consoles: Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, Xbox 360, Playstation 2, GameCube, Game Boy, and Sega Genesis. Yes as you could tell I was a total gamer(secretly) when I was younger. I had pretty much every game they had made for the various consoles.

My extra large king size bed sat on the opposite wall, it's sheets and duvet clean and the pillows fluffed and plump. The red leather couch was adjacent to the tv, and to the sides of it where some gaming chairs. The rest of the room's decoration was just like any others: dressers, nightstands, pictures, tables, etc.

I didn't think Laken would know what the gaming consoles were, in fact she might think they were bombs like quite a few of my ex girlfriends did. I was suddenly proven wrong though as she admitted a high pitch squeal.

"Oh my gosh, I haven't played Sega Genesis in forever! Oh and a Nintendo 64?! Oh please tell me you have Donkey Kong Kountry!" she yells jumping up and down.

I was shocked to say the least; she was the best mate I could have ever dreamed of. I regret ever saying I didn't want her, it was probably the biggest mistake of my life, besides sleeping around so much. I smile and nod unable to speak making her squeal in happiness.
