Chapter 3 On my way

After 8 years I've decided it's time to go home and be the Alpha I was born to be. I'm a bit anxious and extremely excited to see my family and my people. I'm as nervous as a school boy to see her again. Tess has always had my heart and soul, I just wished my mind would have agreed. Wanting to restore my pack to its former self is all I wanted.My father was a strong, intelligent Alpha, our pack thrived under his rule. Unfortunately, a car accident took my parents and Tess's parents from us. My Uncle Ben took over but, he ruled the pack more like a community as if nobody was in charge.

I think he didn't want the responsibility so did what he could. So, I have to step up and claim my birth right. While I was in college Jenna Mueller had taken quite a interest in me, her father Bentley is loaded. He gave me a deal I take his daughter as my mate and Luna and he invests in my pack. I honestly didn't see a problem with it, I've never found my fated mate so I agreed. I've been with Jenna since my first year in college and she's easy on the eyes, although she's a little dense upstairs. Now I have to come home and face the music, my whole family will be angry with me. I know I promised Tess that we would always be together, but things change, we grow up and do what's needed not what's wanted. My wolf Hades doesn't agree though he always loved Tess, but he blocks himself off when I'm with Jenna.

"A penny for your thoughts." Sam said.

" Just thinking about my upcoming reunion, thanks for coming Sam, I don't think I could face this alone." I smiled at her.

" Shit I wouldn't miss this homecoming for anything. I see happiness and everyone so excited you're back. Then pow when they find out what you did to Tess it's all gonna hit the fan." she said while scowling at me.

She only knows Tess from phone calls and video chats but she's her biggest cheerleader. But, my Tess could charm a snake so it didn't surprise me at all.

" I know you think you've done the right thing, but I think you fucked up buddy. Hell if I was into girls Tess would be my one and only. Goddess you're an idiot." Sam exclaimed.

" Once we're thriving and our pack is finally back in rankings they'll all understand, they might even forgive me for it." I shrugged.

Driving from Alabama to New Orleans took forever, but I'm finally here. Pulling into the parking lot of Moonliters, I sit there for a minute and ask " You did hide my scent right, I don't want anyone knowing I'm here yet."

" Of course I did, but I shouldn't have you big jerk." Sam stuck her tongue out at me. Reaching for the door handle I smile and take a deep breath " Show time."
