I should be your Beta, not your Mate

23 - My Alpha

*Small Outlander spoilers!*

»So, you want to make me believe that this Claire traveled through time through that stone from the stone circle. And is now, which year was it again?«

»1743.«

»And is now stuck in the year 1743. Where she then almost gets raped by a guy that looks like her husband in her original timeline and then she meets a group of Scots. With them she kind of has this love-at-first-sight-moment with Jamie Fraser, who she by the way casually locates his shoulders. Then she is, well mostly, held captive in that castle and gets to be a healer or however, they call them. Then in the following episodes, get called a witch and needs to marry Jamie to stay alive. Even though I like that because I don't like Frank, but still. And then she tells him everything and he takes her back to the stone circle. However, he panics and grabs her hand when a hocus pocus thing happens. Gets cold feet and backs away only to tell her he will stay for the night in the woods if something happens. And she decides to stay and doesn't really want to return to Frank because she has no idea if she loves husband-future or husband-past. After that she goes to Jamie's home, that castle with the strange name. Did I comprehend that right?«

»Pretty much, yes.«

»What in Luna's name...« He banged his hands over his head together. »Give me the remote. If we don't watch more, I will go crazy.«

Smirking, I gave him the remote control and slurped on my tea.

After I left the bathtub – correctly after twenty minutes, just like Naika ordered – Cassian and I made ourselves comfortable in his bed.

Luna Kiana gave us cookies she had baked in the afternoon and made us tea too. Christmas cookies, because Christmas wasn't that far away anymore.

I didn't want to think about the happy atmosphere, decorations and music of Christmas. Much of that was already happening but it got only worse. And the music just got a cover every damn year.

I was cuddled up in my fluffy blanket and squeezed against Cas' side while he had one arm around my hip and with the other one, he started the new episode.

Actually, I was already at season 3 but Cas refused to watch it without knowing what had happened beforehand and that's why we started with season 1.

However, it was interesting to watch Cas how he reacted to many things and interactions. And his most important argument for starting with season 1 was that he wanted to get to know more about the things I liked.

And well, like already said, he wanted to know what had happened beforehand.

If I went back to the topic of Christmas now.

With the Ramsay's I had a little tradition which I would like to still hold on and Naika and Toby would probably agree with me. May and Maxim would go back to their pack soon, but right now they were here. Maybe they stayed longer so we could fulfill our tradition – if it was even possible.

As far as I remembered, there would be a small Christmas party in the evening of the second Christmas day – like a Christmas ball – in school. There weren't just students and teachers but parents too and many residents from our hometown. It was a big party and the whole village was invited. We did that every year.

And in the years, I had still lived here my band The Lycans played at that party. That's why Ethan already sent me the song list from which I went through some of the lyrics.

To my demise was there one song that Flora chose. One in Japanese. She loved that language too much.

Normally, it was Ethan who made the song suggestions and we others voted. With him choosing there wouldn't be songs like that.
