Just as he got back to the
motel and almost to his room, Zac heard someone shout. “Wait, I’m the Alpha.”
That got Zac’s attention. He slowed down and turned around, eyeing the man.
“You’re the
Alpha?”
“Yes. I’m going
to slowly approach you so you can see I’m not out of my mind with lust, ok?”
“Yeah, ok, come
on though, I want to get in my room,” Zac replied. The man seemed fine. When
he was a couple of feet away, Zac nodded and led the Alpha towards his room.
Letting him in, he locked the door and closed the curtains. “I’m sorry, I
wasn’t aware of a pack in the area. I would have made my presence known to
you.”
“I figured as
much. I’m Donatello Rain, Alpha of the local pack,” the man said, extending
his hand.
“Zac Sheehan,
Delta from the Kankakee Pack. I was out this way to handle something for the
council. I stopped here tonight before heading home tomorrow.”
“Nice to meet
you, Zac,” Donatello said letting go of his hand. “My Beta is keeping the
others at bay until they calm down and head home, so you should be good for
the night.”
“So… we’re ok
then?” Zac asked, knowing that some packs hated Deltas, killing any that are
born or they come into contact with. Other packs would capture them for their
gifts and the power they bring.
“We’re good,
you have nothing to fear from us, Zac. I promise as Alpha. Let me text my Beta
so he can head over here when he’s done and give the all clear.”
“Thanks, I
appreciate it. There’s no way I could have gotten away from all of them. I
can handle several lusting wolves, but no way a whole bar full.” Zac chuckled.
“Boy, would you
have been sore! And I would have some dead in the frenzy I’m sure.”
“Yeah, it’s
great to be a Delta sometimes,” Zac replied with a frown.
“Hey, I feel
the same way about Alpha at times. You do the best you can. That’s all you can
do, really.”
“I know, I do,
just had a hell of a hunt. I wanted nothing more than to kick back and have a
couple beers, maybe get laid. Is that too much to ask?” Zac asked. Before
Donatello could answer there was a knock at the door.
“Sam,
everything go ok?” Donatello asked after he opened the door. “Matt, what are
you doing here?”
“Matt was
unaffected by the Delta,” Sam replied, sharing a knowing look with Donatello.
“Really?”
Donatello asked with a goofy tone.
“So what?
What’s the big deal?” Matt asked and stopped in the doorway, just staring at
Zac. “Hi.”
“Hi,” Zac
replied stepping closer. He grabbed Matt’s arm and pulled him inside the room
and closed the door. “You know who I am?” Zac couldn’t believe this was the
man from the bar. He was the best looking male he’d ever seen.
“You’re a
Delta. I’m drawn to you. I’m not going crazy like the others, but I want you,”
Matt said before he could shut up. “I’m sorry, I… I don’t know why I said
that.”
“I do,” Zac
whispered before lowering his lips down to Matt’s. It was just a soft brush of
the lips, but Zac felt the electricity from that kiss go straight to his dick.
He’d never been so hard in his life!
“Wow,” Matt
whispered against his mouth. “That’s why everyone wants to have sex with a
Delta.”
“It’s not about
him being a Delta, Matt,” Donatello said from behind them. “Only Alphas,
Betas, and the Delta’s mates aren’t affected by their scent. Matt, you know
you aren’t an Alpha or a Beta.”
“You’re—really?
Wow, I must have done something right in my life, I mean, you’re hot!” Matt
replied beaming at Zac.
“Glad you think
so,” Zac chuckled releasing Matt. “How old are you?”
“Twenty-two,”
Matt said quietly. “Is that ok?”
“Wow, that’s
well, that’s pretty young. Are you ok with being mated that young?” Zac
asked, stepping back to look at the younger, much smaller man. He’s got to
be only 5’9” and about 150 pounds. But man, he is gorgeous, look at that body!
Matt was lean, not skinny by any means, with gorgeous green eyes and angelic
blonde hair.
“Yes, of
course,” Matt answered going back over to Zac and wrapping his arms around his
waist.
Zac gave Donatello and then
Sam a panicked look. Twenty-two just seemed so young to his thirty. Plus, Matt
was so small he barely came to his chest. Being 6’4”, Zac was used to towering
over people. But to be mated to someone so much smaller, wouldn’t he break
him?
“Ok, just give
me a minute, Matt,” Zac replied separating Matt from him. “Let me talk with
your Alpha before we talk about being mates, ok?”
“Don’t you want
to be my mate?” Matt asked softly, looking at the floor. He looked like he was
trying not to cry.
“Of course I
do, I just need to deal with one thing at a time,” Zac whispered in his ear.
“Why don’t you go sit down on the bed so I can handle this?” Matt just nodded
and walked over to sit on the bed while the other three men talked.
“Be careful
with him, I’m pretty sure he’s not experienced,” Donatello told Zac quietly
and Sam nodded in agreement.
“Thanks for the
heads up,” Zac replied with a heavy sigh. Finding his young, probably virgin
mate, was not what he had in mind when he thought about getting laid tonight.
“Give me your cell number in case I have any issues tonight with any of your
pack, and I’ll be out of here in the morning.”
Donatello gave Zac his
number and he put it in his cell before they said their goodbye’s. Closing the
door, locking it behind them, Zac headed over to the bed and sat next to Matt.
“What now?”
Matt asked, regaining some of his composure.
“Now we talk,”
Zac started, “I’m Zac Sheehan. I’m Delta of the Kankakee pack, which is in
Central Illinois.”
“I’m Matt
Garrett, I don’t have a rank.”
“So, you know
if you want to mate with me, you’ll be moving, right?”
“Of course!”
Matt replied. He seemed to be surprised Zac asked.
“And you’re ok
with that?”
“Yeah, it’ll be
a little weird. I’ve only had this as my pack, but I don’t have any family
left or rank in my pack. Moving to your pack makes sense.”
“Ok, well that
gets one issue out of the way,” Zac said taking a deep breath before he
continued. “Do you know a lot about Deltas?”
“The basics…
you can change into an invisible wolf, you’re a loaner, and you stay away from
the pack mostly.”
“You know I
also have two mates, right?”
“Two mates?”
Matt asked astounded, “Do you already have your other one?”
“No, I’ve not
found my other mate yet.”
“Are they going
to be my mate too?”
“I’m not really
sure to be honest,” Zac replied scratching his head, thinking. “I guess if you
wanted to, and they wanted to. I don’t really know how other Deltas do it.
We’ll just have to figure it out, ok?” After Matt nodded, he continued, “So
you know I’m a loaner. I mean it’s inflicted on me in a way, but I’ve been one
since I was 18 and no longer a cub. Twelve years is a long time to be by
myself, so you’re going to have to be patient with me. I’m not that good at
interacting with people, so I might screw up a lot.”
“Well, my
parents died years ago, so I kind of get that,” Matt said. “And I heard what
they said. I’m not a virgin.”
“Ok,” Zac
replied, not sure what else to say. Instead he reached over picked Matt up and
put him on his lap so he could look into his face. “But we’ll take things slow
and you’ll tell me if I do anything you don’t like or that hurts you,
promise?”
“I promise,”
Matt agreed shyly. “So, what now?”
“I guess if
you’re ok with what I said and you don’t have any questions—do you want me to
claim you?”
“More than
anything,” Matt groaned.
“You’re so
adorable, you know that? The sexiest little man I’ve ever seen. I can’t
believe I’m lucky enough to be your mate.”
“Me? Are you
kidding me, you’re gorgeous. I feel bad you got stuck with me.”
“Don’t ever
talk about yourself that way,” Zac growled at Matt. “I noticed you in the bar
before I could smell you were my mate. I wanted you then, and now you’re
mine!”
