The Beta's Runt

Chapter 9

Cira's POV
I woke up and looked around, noticing that Jason was already gone.
I got out of bed and went into the bathroom, pulling my hair back.
There was a black, cursive J on my neck where he marked me.
I smiled and went back into our room.
I picked out a pair of black sweatpants he bought me yesterday with the light blue sweatshirt he insisted on buying because it's my favorite color.
I grabbed the shampoo and conditioner he got me so I didn't smell like a boy anymore.
He didn't want to at first, he said he liked that I smelled like him.
Then I reminded him he isn't the only boy who uses that shampoo and stuff so I smelled like other boys too. So he agreed.

After I got out of the shower I got dressed and put my hair in a bun.
Pierce was going to FaceTime me today.

I laid in bed until I heard my phone ring.
Pierce wanted to FaceTime.
I answered it and smiled at the face Pierce was making.
"Cira!" He yelled through the phone.
"Hey Pierce." I giggled.
"How's Alaska?" He asked.
"Cold. But I like it here." I said.
"Where Jason?" He asked.
"No clue." I shrugged.
His eyes got wide and he called my
Mom and Dad over.
"What?" I asked him as he muted the phone. "I'll hang up." I threatened.
"Wait!" He unmuted me. "Just do me a favor. Tilt your head to the right."
I gave him a weird look and did what he asked.
And then my mom squealed and I realized what he was doing.
He saw my mark.
"He marked you!" My mom yelled, clapping and jumping around.
"Well." My Dad said, wrapping his arms around my mom. "He better be treating you right or I'll kick his ass."
I giggled and nodded.
"He's treating me great Dad. I like him a lot." I smiled.
"Cira?" I heard Jason call as the front door opened.
"Okay." I said to my psychotic family. "He's home I'll talk to you guys later. I love you all."
They all said goodbye and I hung up as Jason opened the door.
"I got you something." He said, holding a box out.
He sat on the bed next to me as I took the tape off and opened the lid.
"It's so beautiful." I whispered, pulling out a baby blue dress out.
"I saw it. And I got it for you because I figured a beautiful dress would go perfectly with the most beautiful girl I know." He smiled.
I looked down as my face turned red.
"Thank you Jason." I said.
"Anything for you, Love." He said.
"What will I wear it to?" I asked.
"Well I was thinking." He stood up. "Do you want to be introduced to the pack as beta female? Like tonight? Or tomorrow if you want?"
"I would love to." I smiled.
"Is tonight okay?" He asked.
"Of course." I smiled. "But I'll need help."
"With what?" He asked.
"Well. Pierce always helped me curl the back of my hair. Will you help me since he isn't here?"
"I can try." He chuckled.
"Thank you." I jumped up and hugged him.
He kissed me and smiled.
"Want to go get something to eat? Then we can come back and get ready." He asked.
I nodded and grabbed a pair of boots, slipping them on and following him out to his car.
"What do you want to eat?" He asked.
"Tacos." I said.
"Tacos it is." He smiled.

After we got our food and ate it was already 5:00. The ceremony thingy is at 7:00.
We drove home and I ran upstairs to our room.

"What the hell?" Jason asked, walking into the bathroom.
I looked at his face in the mirror and laughed.
"Why are you sitting on the sink?" He asked.
"Well. I couldn't see well enough to do my makeup. So I climbed." I said as I put my stuff away.
"Only you." He chuckled. "We have 30 minutes until we should leave."
I nodded and jumped off of the sink.
"Will you help me now?" I asked, holding the curling iron up.
He nodded and smiled, taking it from my hand.
I had already curled what I could see so I turned around, brushing the already curly parts to the front.
"Wait." He said. "How does this work?"
I giggled and took it from his hand, grabbing a piece of hair and showing him.
"That's why it's round." He mumbled, taking it back.

It didn't take him long to finish and I used a second mirror to make sure he did it right.
"Perfect." I smiled, kissing his cheek.
I walked into our room and grabbed the dress, slipping into it.
I slipped on my white flats and went downstairs.
"Are you ready?" Jason asked, taking my hand in his.
I nodded and followed through the halls.
"The pack is already in the room." He said as we reached a doorway. "We'll go in and walk up front with Ryan. He'll introduce you and then will swear you in as Beta Female."
I nodded and took a deep breath as he opened the door.
Everyone looked over as Jason led me to where Ryan was standing.
"Thank you all for coming." He said, gaining everyone's attention. "I have here Cira Thomas. She will be joining our pack. She is Beta Jason's mate, making her Beta Female. You will treat her with the same respect you do Jason and I."
Everyone nodded and he turned to me.
"Cira Thomas. Do you swear to fight by us, not against us, and to fulfill your responsibilities as Beta Female?"
I nodded and he closed his eyes, opening the pack link to me.
As soon as he did I could hear everyone's voice in my head all at once.
I blocked them all out and looked at Jason.
He smiled at me as he took my hand.
"Now to meet everyone." He said, looking around.

After three hours of staying and talking to everyone I can finally say I have met everyone in the pack.
Will I remember them?
Probably not.
But at least I met them.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked as we made it up to our room.
I nodded and sat down on the bed.
"My head just hurts." I said.
He nodded and sat down next to me.
"Cira." He said, looking at me. "I want to tell you something. But I'm not sure how to say it."
"Well if you open your mouth and use your vocal cords the words tend to just fall out." I said, laughing at the glare he gave me.
"Smartass." He chuckled.
"Okay okay. I'm sorry." I giggled. "What did you want to tell me?" I asked.
"I need to take you somewhere tomorrow." He said. "So I need you to be awake by 10am."
"Why was that so hard to tell me?" I asked.
"Because. I didn't know if you'd say no." He shrugged.
"I would never say no." I said, smiling at him.
He smiled back and flopped back, wrapping his arm around my waist and taking me with him.
"Get off of me you Twatwaffle!" I laughed, trying to push his arm from around my waist. 
"Never." He said, his face muffled by the pillow.
"You're a goofball." I said as I tried wiggling out of his grasp.
"Yours truly." He said.
And just those two words from him were enough to give me butterflies.
