If only I could mark my mate this instant, then I'd have done so, not that I couldn't but I'd don't want to force her. I felt my gums had gotten itchy as my teeth elongated, my wolf was trying to get out. The raging heat in my chest had not subsided a little bit as I dragged my mate back to my house venting some of my anger in my steps. I had felt her slight rejection when I tried to drag her initially but later she stopped resisting and that somehow calmed me down abit.
That mere pup had dared to challenge me over my mate! I understand my mate is a very desirable female but that didn't mean that others dared to covet her because she had been bestowed to me by the moon goddess.
Until I was sure that I was in my room, I shut the door and locked it immediately. Pinning her aganist the door, I caged her between my arms and before I could burst out my frustration. I heard her soft and broken voice. Don't be angry." she requested her dowy blue eyes staring back at me intently and I felt all my rage disappear, my self drowning in the tenderness of her ocean blue eyes but I couldn't help feel the jealousy sprouting again at the thought of what that pup had said to my mate.
Do you hate that I'm older than you?" I asked and saw how she frowned but then went silent making my jealousy sip through me. I don't!" she said and looked up to me making me purse my lips.
Would you reject me?" I asked again searching her eyes. Would she do so because he asked her? She'd break his heart of she did!
I can't!" she snapped. You are our Alpha...I can't put you in a tight spot and besides...." she pursed her lips and sniffed. Her eyes got glossy. I've always considered him my best friend....I didn't know he harboured such feelings..." tears begin to firm in her eyes but she was quick to wipe them away. Now I no longer have friends! Leila no longer wants me! I want my friends back!" she cried and fell into my chest pounding her little fists into me. I held her close and could only swallow the lump in my chest.
Why would she need such a selfish friend!' I wondered but those two seemed to have been important to her. Her wails grew louder amd my jear broke further. Do you think I'll get them back? Wayne, I don't want to loose them!" she cried but all I could register was the fact that she called my name. I wrapped my arms around her waist and rubbed her back to calm her down.
She wasn't calming down though I knew she needed this stage, I carried her princess style and brought her over to my bed. I lay her there and joined then brought her closer into my embrace. She sniffed and snuggled closer as she hiccuped.
All I could do was soothe her and soon, she fell asleep in my arms. It felt so real and I just couldn't find myself sleeping, I stayed and watched her cute sleeping face.
Alpha!" I hear my Beta Lorcan calling out to me through mindlink. What?" I hissed. My mate's time wasn't to be interrupted. The boys family are requesting and audience with you." I heard him say which had me growl lowly.
Tell them to return after a week!" I hissed and heldy mate who stirred a little.
But he was meant to celebrate his coming of age ceremony....and he...!" Lorcan started which made me feel even more angered.
You better know who your Alpha is Lorcan." I cut him mid-sentence and immediately cut the mind link.
Looking down at my mate, I was surprised to see her drowsy and sleepy eyes looking into my own. I was caught off guard!
Your grip is tight!" I heard her mosquito voice and that's when I realized I was almost merging her into my own body. I would do that if it were possible! I however lossened my grip in her. How do you feel?" I asked when I heard her groan.
Broken." she murmured and looked away to finally look at the room. This is my home." I told her proudly. It's going to be out room once we are mated!" I said softly to which she gave me a weak smile that didn't reach her eyes. I didn't like her half hearted smiles.
She got out from my hold and out of the bed, she didn't even look around and stalked to the door but I was there before she could touch the door knob. Where are you going?" I asked her frowning.
Home." she said tiredly.
But this is your home!" I said not understanding why.
I want to go home to my parents. Will you let me go?" she asked eyes locked on mine. I saw the pain deep in her eyes. I hadn't realised that she held such a deep attachment to her friends. It was so deep that my presence didn't seem to calm her down.
I'm sorry for your break up with your friends. But I'm not sorry about what I did during the day,....he tried to corrupt you into rejecting me! It's insulting to me and I would have ordered for him to be killed." I said and i saw the horror in her eyes.
I didn't!" I sighed and she too sighed.
....
The though of rejecting him had crossed my mind but the fear of what responsibility that was awaiting...but I couldn't be selfish for that matter, if I did so then I'd be putting the whole pack into jeopardy that's why over the past few days, I was trying to get myself accustomed to that fact. I didn't know it'd bring disaster.
...
As I was watching my mate lost in her thoughts, I heard Lorcan's franatic voice ring out in my head. "Alpha! Our warriors on the border post 22 have gone missing!" This information and me frown. "What nonsense is that!". I roared in rage. I realised that my mate was looking at me with concern and I tried to calm my ragging breath.
I held her tiny face in my arms. "Sweety, I want you to listen to me, I know this whole experience might be scary and all but believe me...I'm going to make sure we work this out together. Don't lock me out ok?" I searched for her eyes and I saw how she nodded. "Good!" I praised her. "Now, there is something that has come up and I need to go see this out! Stay here till I'm back, ok?" I asked her but I saw the confusion in her eyes.
"Another team on border 5 are missing!" Lorcan's tense voice rang out and I fought hard not to shift since i still held my mate's delicate face in my palms. But that didn't stop the fur from sprouting. I saw how her eyes watched my arms in worry.
"What is going on? Is something the matter?" she asked with genuine concern and I saw the spark of Luna hood in her eyes.
"Yes, there has been some movements from a pack that has been taking over other pack lands. They are targeting us!" I told her and saw how her eyes widened in terror.
"I won't let anything happen to anyone in our pack. Trust me!" I told her assuringly to which she nodded obediently. Placing a lingering kiss on her forehead. "Stay here!" I insinuated those words to which she nodded. "I'll be sending your mother and little sister over to keep you company." I said to which she visibly relaxed and nodded.
What had been my concern however was the fact that her father who had been part of team 22 had gone missing. I didn't want to say a word about it till I was finally sure that he was safe as I couldn't watch her break just after having a fall out with her best friends during the day.
...
After kissing me one last time, my mate shut the door behind me and went out. He had been tense and that made me too, it was late so I couldn't find out what was going on with Leila or Conner. Initially I had wanted to go out but seeing the Alpha being troubled about something like that, I knew this could wait and I'd go get to meet my friends the next morning.
I walked back to the huge bed that smelt of my mate, his scent was everywhere and on everything of his. I walked about and found myself standing close to his closet. I opened it and found that his clothes had been squeezed to the side and a huge space had been left behind. I wondered why he had do that though...with all so much space and he had to squeeze his clothes to one corner! Weird!.
I also caught that the vanity table had the same organisation as his oils were on the furthest corner. Strange!
A knock on the door brought me back from my silent tour and I rushed to open knowing that it was my mother and sister as Wayne had promised me. I swung the door open and there stood my pale mother.
Frowning, I stepped out of the room and looked at her with concern. Mom!" I held her arms.
It has started!" she exclaimed with tears and I was confused. What had started! I'm..., can you open up and tell me what exactly is going on?" I held her gaze.
Lots of love from litto-ways ❤️.
