Bryson POV
Her eyes go wild when I as her to give me a chance. She loved Bronx at first sight, my beast, but she is scared of me. Someone must have hurt her to the point of no return. Anger boils within me and I start thinking about who it was and what I want to do to them. No one will ever hurt her again no matter what. I will make sure of it.
"I have?" she asks beginning me out of my daze. She looks confused and in disbelief about what I said to her. She doesn't remember.
"Yes Taila. Don't you remember? After you fell in the wood and slid down the hill. Bronx caught your scent and found you sitting in a daze." Her eyes light up and a slight smile starts to pull at her lips. I love it when she smiles. Bronx purrs and begs me to let him through fully and I push him back explaining we need to wait this is not the place to show her again.
"I thought it was a dream." She looks it's intent in her eyes at me, looking to see if I would waver as spoke to her. I wouldn't. I could never lie to my mate, ever. I need to show her that she can trust me, love me and be with me without fault. She has such a pure heart. She just needs to see it too.
"No baby, it wasn't a dream. That was as real as feeling me right now. Bronx is pacing worried to death, whinnying for you, he already loves you. You showed much love to him. You showed us your heart, we want to show you ours. No matter your past we want to be your future. You are the only one that is solely made for us. Please give us a chance to show you exactly what you mean to us. Please." It takes all I can do to sit her and not take her in my arms with a kiss. But I know I must allow her to ability to decide, I just pray to the goddess she picks us.
If I'm having this much trouble, I can only imagine what my brothers are going to have to deal with. Maybe when Christian gets back, I will have had time to talk with her. Explain to her about our family.
"Bryson" getting my attention I look up at her. Her eyes are full and bright with hope. "I'm afraid. I want to trust what you say, but I'm scared." She looks at me with hope and something else that I can't quite place yet. I wrap my arms around her, pulling her in, purring just slightly as I feel the fireworks travel through my body. I hold her, giving her a few minutes to calm down and relax with my scent. Taking my hand gently grabbing her by the chin, pulling her head up to make her look me in the eyes because I want her to see the truth in my eyes when I talk to her. I kiss her on the cheek, slightly curving my lips up as I linger just a bit longer against her cheek. Pulling away with a smile, I look into her eyes "It's okay to be scared. But I promise that I will forever be by your side if you will let me. I will take care of you, hold you, love you, and never ever walk away from you. You are MINE. I am YOURS. There will never be another woman I will want other than you. Sitting in the woods, how you looked at us, Bronx loved you from the moment you walked up to him and touched him. We are yours, forever and will do whatever it takes and wait for you no matter what. You are my mate Taila and I love you."
Something I said must have been perfect because the next thing I know she has her arms wrapped around my neck with her nose deep in the crook of my neck taking deep breaths calming herself down. I just held her in my arms and let her digest what is happening. I already know that I will do anything for her. She is now my everything no matter what my brothers say or do. She is MINE!
After about 20 mins of holding her breathing starts to slow and even out indication that she is sleeping, so I scoop her up and take her up stairs to my room to allow her to rest, as I am walking out of the room, she stirs just enough to get comfortable in my arms and taking her face and bury it in my chest. Gemma nods and closes the door behind us and then follows me to the elevator, I push the button for the 5th floor since that is where all of us are, as Alpha's, we share the entire floor with individual rooms for us and one master bedroom to share with our mate. We all decided years ago that our mate would have a room that is big enough for all of us, but also allow our mate to have her own space. We all know about sharing our mate with each other and I have accepted that but I haven't told both my brothers that I have found her yet. I can only pray that she is strong enough to let us love and take care of her. I need to call Christian today and explain the situation to him. Kaizen, well I will just have to talk to him when he calls us. I don't like how he is handling finding our mate but I can't blame him either.
When we reach the 5th floor Gemma walks with me to the room, opens the door and stands there while I take and lay her down. I wake up to the bed, pull the covers back and lay Taila down and cover her up to keep her warm. She looks like an angel laying there. So peaceful and happy. She has a slight smile on her ruby lips that seem to draw you in for days. I brush a strand of hair away from her face leaning down to kiss her forehead and pull away when she reaches out grabbing my hand "Please don't leave me" I smile like never before and kiss her cheek "Love, I will never leave you. You are mine and I am yours."
I mind-link Gemma and ask her to bring some food for us, that I am going to stay with my mate. She agreed and left the room. I walk to the other side of the bed and lay down next to my mate. Bronx purrs at the closeness to our mate and the fact that we are laying in the same bed together. 'Our mate is beautiful' He says purring still. 'Yes, she is perfect Bronx. But I fear our brothers will have a hard time with her being human' Bronx growls at the thought of our brothers not wanting our mate. 'We need to protect our mate' I smile at the protectiveness Bronx already has for our mate. I slowly start to close my eyes and drift off to sleep with my mate, satisfied with the outcome of today's events.
