My brows raised in shock: Then why would you tell us? He smiled before answering: Because you asked... and I never want to keep anything from you Lilly and by extension your family, apart from the one thing but that's for safety reasons. I looked at him confused and he whisper lipped the word WEREWOLF. In the course of a few hours I had completely forgotten about him being a werewolf, I realized that other then him being able to turn into a dog he was a fairly normal guy.
Andy came up and shook Leo's hand to tell him it was good meeting him but that if he hurt me Andy would kill him, I had to fight hard to not laugh. Here my brother who weighs like 130 pounds was threatening a probably 200 pound 6 ft 5 werewolf who's literally killed a dude and I love my brother all the more for it. He left and we found ourselves alone at last.
"Okay so first question…" Leo interrupted "No you wont have a litter of puppies… unless… Unless sextuplets run in your family" He gave me a cheeky grin and I rolled my eyes at him and smacked his arm telling him to take it seriously. "Okay okay I'm shutting up now" He smiled again
"Next question, is your brother a Werewolf as well or is it just you and how many Werewolves are there" Leo's lips pursed together trying to find a way to explain it all: There are two ways to become Werewolves, 1 by being bitten but that's rare, or 2 you're born as a Werewolf, I was born this way and my whole family are Werewolves as well, we live in packs and are subject to the rules of the Alpha who is the leader of the pack. There are many packs, In New York alone there are at least 6. Sometimes there are small packs that go unnoticed but they tend to stick to themselves and we consider most of them to be rogues. But our state is split into 6 areas, there were 8 but about 20 years ago there was an Alpha who went feral and he became tyrannical and he took over another pack by torturing and killing the Alpha and his family so a few Alphas got together and put him down, when that happened they split the former Alpha's territories and added them to the packs that were nearest to them. Does that explain it well enough for you?" My eyes were big taking in all of the information with more questions collecting in my mind I just shook my head yes.
So the house you took me to yesterday is..." I trailed off so he answered: That's the pack house where Alpha, Beta and some of the warriors live with their mates.
"So we are mates.. but… I'm just a human, will your Alpha be angry at that?" He looked at me apologetically before answering my question cautiously as if each word that came out could be catastrophic: At the risk of sending you over the edge… I.. I am the Alpha of my pack.
"Why would that send me over the edge, your the Alpha, thats pretty cool" I looked at him with confusion while he tightened his face with a look of contrition before continuing: Lilly we're mates meaning we're one half of each other, literal soul mates which is why everything about you drives me and my wolf crazy, your scent is intoxicating to us, the way you look at me, the way you bite the inside of your mouth, and everything about me drives you crazy too maybe even more so because you're human. This is why when my mother died, my father was never the same, because a part of his soul died with her and he could never be the same, something similar happens when one mate rejects the other, it will feel like a part of your sould is being torn from you.
"Why are you telling me that?" I looked at him even more confused then before.
"Because I need you to know what happens to both of us if one of us rejects the other before I tell you why me being an Alpha matters for you. Lilly when you find your mate you match with their rank so because I am an Alpha and you are my mate, you will become my Luna which for a lack of a better way of explaining it the Alpha is like the dad of the pack in charge of protecting the pack from external threats as well as leading the pack and the Luna is like the mom so she protects the pack from internal threats as well as helps lead with her Alpha, we basically complete each other and become stronger as one" He said hesitantly waiting for how I would respond.
I just sat there saying: Uh huh uh huh, okay, yeah okay. I shook my head and stood up quickly even with my wounds inhaling sharply before starting in on him: Okay so let me get this straight, you're telling me your the president and now I'm the first lady and I don't even really have a choice in the matter because I were to choose not to do this I would just what, become a shell of myself like your dad. Leo winced slightly at my comment which tugged at my heart, I had just hurt him by being an ass. I sighed deeply and went over to him, his head lowered and touched his chin to lift his head so he would look at me: Leo I'm sorry, I was just upset, its a lot to process and I dont know how I could possibly do this. I've worked hard to be where I am and now it seems I'll have to give everything up.
He instantly stood up and grabbed my shoulders and lightly shook me as he said: No you wouldn't have to give anything up. I'm the Alpha yes but I am also the CEO of Sinclair Corp, something I built from the ground up. You could be Luna and work right along side me, you can even work your way up on your own so you know you got it on your own. Hell we dont even need to tell anyone from work who you are. I mean there is a lot of my pack there but there are a lot of humans too so.
"Okay well we don't need to discuss it all today, I am getting kind of tired actually" I wanted to act as if this entire situation wasn't terrifying but it was.
Well listen, why don't you take a hot bath and I will go get dinner for us, we can eat and talk about things less heavy" He smiled at me, his eyes shining brightly and hopeful, I nodded at him and he was by my side within seconds making me gasp, he lifted me in his arms and carried me up the stairs and sat me gently on the bed. I watched him go to and fro looking through cupboards and drawers for things, he cleaned my bath tub then ran water in it, he added a bath bomb and some essential oils then he took my hand to help me up from the bed and guided me into the bathroom. He gently removed my robe, then my shirt, he looked at me for permission to continue and although I was embarrassed, I nodded for him to continue. His hand brushed my hip and around my stomach as he untied my pants and lowered them slowly till they fell around my feet. He looked up at me with a raised eye brow when he saw I had no panties on which made me blush and look down, he lifted my chin to look me in the eye and kissed my lips softly. He turned me around to face the mirror as he unfastened my bra, I watched him in the mirror to see his expression as he looked down and up my body. His eyes became black and then back to normal an this time I knew it wasnt a figment of my imagination: What was that? He looked at me not knowing what I was talking about: Your eyes turned black for a moment.
"Ah that, yeah so when my wolf gets angry or excited my eyes may shift slightly" I looked at him smiling: So just then your were? It was his turn to get embarrassed and turn red. He just cleared his throat and held my hand as I got into the bath tub. He leaned and kissed my forehead before leaving the bathroom and a few minutes later, the house as well.
