The Challenge Two Alphas, One Girl

Chapter 25: Friday Falls

Thaddeus’ POV

I had not even glimpsed my little mate, Friday, yesterday so I woke up rather disgruntled. I went straight to her room and was surprised to find her up and dressed at this early hour. She was in a short-sleeved mini black dress with her waves tousled and billowing all around her. She flung herself at me and I scooped her up eagerly. I placed a chaste kiss to her lips.

“Maze hid you from me yesterday,” I said, grumbling inwardly. She kissed my nose, my cheeks and my eyelids. “I missed you,” she said simply.

“I missed you too,” I murmured. If Maze insisted on monopolising his time with Friday, I would do the same.

“I have a fun day planned,” I said, chuckling. Friday’s POV

Thaddeus came to my room early and I was thrilled to see him. I drank a cookies n’cream Frappuccino he had brought me while he drove me to the location of our date. I really did need to cut back on the sugar come to think of it. Thaddeus was driving away from the centre of the town. We passed fields and lush greenery. Eventually he turned onto a long private driveway. A huge ranch-style house loomed in the distance. I gasped when I saw them. There were the most gorgeous horses prancing around the field in front of the house. Some were jet black and gleaming. Others were as white as untouched snow.

Thaddeus opened my door for me. “My parents own a couple ranches and this is one of them,” he explained, grinning at how excited I was.

“Have you ever ridden a horse before?” He asked. “No, but I’ve ridden a wolf,” I said innocently. He smirked. Thaddeus led me over to the field where the horses trotted to and fro. “Pick a horse,” he instructed. “That one!” I said, pointing to a very shiny completely black horse. Thaddeus was hesitant. “That one is a stallion,” he said.

Stallions were difficult to control because they were male horses who were not castrated and therefore more aggressive due to the hormones they had.

“I can handle it!” I insisted. “If you say so, little Luna,” he said, chuckling.

Thaddeus saddled up the stallion who was called Blackjack. I was so excited. Thaddeus also rode a stallion, a brown one called Brownie. These names were not that creative but the horses were gorgeous. I followed Thaddeus’ lead. He was holding the reigns for both horses so we could ride them side by side.

“Do your twin brothers have mates?” I asked him. “No not yet, do yours?” Thaddeus asked.

I snorted. “Definitely not and they both say they don’t want a mate,” I said. Fallon and Fargo were nicer to me than Fang was but they were also much more childish than Fang. They argued incessantly

“You know identical twins and triplets usually share just one mate because they were once one fertilised egg that split into two or three,” explained Thaddeus.

I was aware of the sharing a mate thing because of my twin brothers. They could not share anything without throwing temper tantrums so it made sense that they did not want a mate they would have to share.
