Joining the new pack as alpha

"You just got back from a night out, and are more or less sober, seeing as how you were designated driver. However, that didn't stop you from getting flirty with some of the typical fare at your college town. Trying to be quiet, you careful unlock the door to your apartment and flick the lights on. The silhouette of your roommate, Lana, causes you to stop dead in your tracks." "About time you got back." "She sighs as she stands up, walking over to you, before inhaling deeply." "I've told you before, those bitches are bad business. I don't know why you still barhop with them." "She spots some residue from an attempt to remove a lipstick mark on your cheek, and gets visibly upset." "You let them kiss you?! What the fuck, Cereza?!" "She struts over to the kitchen sink, wetting a rag, before walking over and aggressively rubbing the washcloth on your face, trying to wash it away." "Can't believe I even let you leave the apartment..."

"Her eyes narrow slightly, and her tail twitches behind her." "Save it, Cereza. I'm not stupid. I can see the lipstick on your cheek, and I know exactly what 'just thanking you' means." "She steps closer, her voice taking on a sulky tone." "You're playing with fire, and I'm not going to let you get burned... or worse, infected with all that drama." "Her fingers dig into your arm, her claws barely visible but still causing a gentle prickle." "Let's get one thing straight: you're mine, and I won't share you with anyone, especially those... bitches." "Her gaze burns with intensity, as if daring you to disagree."

"Her eyes flutter closed as she lets out a soft moan, her body melting into the kiss." "Mmm... Cereza," she whispers, her voice husky with desire. "Her claws dig gently into your arm, as if holding on for dear life." [I'm so tempted to let go and indulge in this feeling, but I know I shouldn't...] "She pulls back, her breathing rapid, and her pupils dilated." "You're being very distracting right now," she says, her voice a mere whisper, her gaze locked onto yours. "She raises an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading across her face." "Maybe we should get something out of the way before things get out of hand..." "She trails off, her words hanging in the air like a challenge, her chest rising and falling with each labored breath."

"Her eyes flash with a fierce intensity, and her tail begins to thrum with agitation." "What's wrong with you, Cereza? You're not even considering my feelings!" "She takes a step back, her voice rising in indignation." "I've been loyal to you for months, and this is how you repay me? By holding out on me like some kind of... of... I don't know, treat or something?" "Her nostrils flare, and her scent changes, taking on a hint of irritation." "You're really going to make me wait even longer just to 'understand the human world'?" "She crosses her arms over her chest, her expression sulky and unyielding." "I understand it just fine. And what I understand is that you're putting too much emphasis on your stupid human ways." "Her gaze burns with resentment, as if daring you to disagree."

"Her face goes beet red, and her ears fold back in embarrassment." "Lusting?! You think I'm just lusting after you?!" "Her voice rises to a near-shout, before she bites it back, taking a deep breath." "You're wrong. Dead wrong. I... I..." "She trails off, her eyes welling up with unshed tears." "I love you, Cereza. And I know I'm not supposed to, but I can't help it. Every time I see you, every time you touch me... it feels like nothing else matters." "Her voice cracks, and she looks away, shamefaced." "I may not fully understand the human world, but I do know what it means to love someone. And I love you, even if it's not 'right' for us to be together." "Her shoulders slump, and she hangs her head, her long tail dragging behind her like a defeated banner."

"Her eyes snap back to his, a mixture of surprise and joy written across her face." "Cereza..." "She whispers, her voice trembling with emotion." "You really mean it, don't you?" "She takes the box from him, her fingers hovering over the lid as if afraid to touch it." "The air around her seems to vibrate with tension as she opens the box, her eyes widening in wonder as she sees the ring." "Oh... oh my gods," she breathes, her voice barely audible.* "She looks up at him, her gaze burning with intensity, and her tail begins to thrum with excitement." "Yes... yes, I'll be your Mate," she says, her voice firm and resolute.* "She holds out her hand, and he slips the ring onto her finger, the metal fitting snugly against her claw." "As soon as the ring is on her finger, a strange sensation washes over her, as if her very being is aligning itself with his." "She feels a deep sense of connection, of belonging, and her heart swells with love for this man who has claimed her as his own." "I'm yours, Cereza," she whispers, her eyes shining with tears.* "Forever."

"Her eyes lock onto his, a mixture of fear and excitement written across her face." "Oh no, oh no, oh no... Cereza, are you sure this is a good idea?" "She tries to hold onto him, her claws digging gently into his arms." "What if they don't accept us? What if they... what if they try to hurt us?" "Her voice trembles with anxiety as she thinks about the possible consequences of her Mate going to face her alpha without her." "I'm supposed to be with you, not... not fighting your battles," she says, her protest growing more desperate.* "But despite her fears, she knows that this is something he needs to do, and she can't help but feel a sense of pride and admiration for her strong and brave Mate." "You're being very brave, Cereza," she whispers, her eyes shining with tears.* "I'm scared, but I know you'll come back to me."

"Her face falls, and she looks at him with a mix of disappointment and understanding." "Oh, Cereza... I see. You want me to be there for moral support, don't you?" "She sighs, knowing that she can't argue with his decision." "Okay, I'll stay here. But promise me you'll be careful, and that you'll come back to me," she says, her voice firm but trembling with worry.* "She takes a step closer to him, her eyes locked onto his, and her heart racing with anticipation." "I'll be waiting for you, no matter what happens," she whispers, her words barely audible.* [He's going to face my alpha, and I'm going to be stuck here, waiting and worrying. Please, please let him come back to me safely.]

"Her face lights up with surprise and excitement." "Oh, Cereza, you really want me to come?!" "She jumps up and down, her tail wagging furiously behind her." "Yes, yes, yes! I'd love to come with you!" "She grabs his arm, her claws digging gently into his skin." "I want to see you be bad ass, and I want to be by your side when you do it," she says, her voice filled with pride and admiration.* [He's being so brave, and I'm going to be right there with him. This is going to be amazing!][She gives him a big, cheesy grin, her eyes shining with excitement.]

"She nods enthusiastically, her tail wagging excitedly as she falls into step beside him." "Okay, okay! Follow me," she says, leading the way out of the apartment complex and onto the streets.* "She weaves through the crowded sidewalks, expertly navigating the dense traffic before ducking into a narrow alleyway." "Take a left here, then a right at the corner store. We'll be there in about 10 minutes," she instructs, her ears perked up to listen for any signs of trouble.* [I hope my alpha is okay with this. I'm not sure what's going to happen when we get there...][She keeps a close eye on the surrounding area, her senses on high alert for any signs of danger.]
