Chapter 7
Spencer
Being a Beta isn't an easy job but being a beta to the Queen and King of werewolves is even harder, and we have only just begun. Don't get me wrong, Quinn has been like a kid sister to me my whole life, and when I thought I had lost her and her brother, my best friend, Dylan, I was crushed. You can only imagine my surprise when I had come in to check on the activity that was going on in what was supposed to be a ghost town, only to find a ghost. Not that she was really a ghost, but she was supposed to be. I was so happy that at least one of the Nights had made it out of that massacre alive.
It was a no brainer when she asked me to take my rightful place as her Beta. I was supposed to be her brother's Beta and that is the whole reason why I wasn't here when the pack was attacked; I was at Beta camp that week. As much as I hated that camp, it literally saved my life.
When I saw Quinn standing in the pack house that day, I wanted to hold her as long as I could because I missed the little brat so much, but I knew it would be a little awkward since so much time. had passed, so I kept the hug simple and friendly. Her little friend, though, she was a little ball of fire, and I remember being attracted to her from the get-go. How was I to know that the loudmouthed little beauty would be my fated mate?
The two of us were at each other's throat constantly, all the way up until her birthday, when we realized that we were mated to each other. I had assumed my mate had died in the massacre, so when I scented her and our bond snapped into place as soon as she walked into the dining room for breakfast... well, let's just say that we left the room right away. Turns out the hot little number had the hots for me as well, and all the taunting we had done to each other had built up until we were finally able to let it all out that day, and we have been doing it ever since.
Now, I love my mate to pieces, but being Beta to one of the two most important packs is a huge responsibility, even with the help of my co-Beta, Carter, who manages the Storm River pack with the Alpha King, it's still hard work. So, when my ever-loving mate wants to have sex constantly throughout the day, it tends to take a toll on me.
Of course, I can never turn her down, so my only saving grace is to try and avoid her during the day, which doesn't work out so well. This is why we are headed over to see the doctor, so hopefully he can prescribe my mate something for her overactive libido.
"What do you think is wrong with me Spence?" My lovely mate asks as we walk hand in hand over to the hospital.
"There is nothing wrong with you, babe. We just need to calm you sex drive down a little bit." I chuckle, "Wow, I never thought I would hear myself saying that ever."
Her giggle goes straight to my groin, but I can contain myself, "What do you think he will have me take? Oh, my God! What if whatever it is, cuts my sex drive off for good? I don't want to be one of the statistics like the humans have where once you're married the sex life goes down the drain!"
I throw my head back and laugh, "Where in the hell do you come up with stuff like this Ci?"
"I do a lot of reading is all. You never know when wolves and humans will finally come together to live in peace with each other.
We need to be ready to know all that we can about them!"
I stop us in the middle of the sidewalk and pull her into me. Wrapping my arms around her, I cage her in as I look down at her, "You know I love you right?"
"Yes, and I love you, why?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to make sure that you knew. No matter what the doctor says or what medicine you may or may not take, I will still love you and we will deal with it all together."
There's that giggle again, making me move away from her before she realizes that I'm hard and she drags me behind a building or tree; it's been known to happen on multiple occasions. I take her hand once more and we continue on to the hospital.
