The Alpha's Innocent Mate

Chapter Six-Just A Little Happy

~Xander's POV~

Self-control. That's what I needed right now. I was hanging by the smallest thread, as I watched my mate get drunk, and not even notice that all the guys in the room were looking at her as if she was a piece of meat.

Of all places, the guys had to take us to a high school party full of unmated wolves. The small black number my mate was wearing did nothing to cover up her beautiful body, making almost everything visible to all eyes. Although she did look sexy in the dress, it was for my eyes only.

And I couldn't stop the jealousy and rage from coursing through my body as I watched guys shamelessly stare at my mate. What was rightfully mine was on display for all other males to see, and I didn't like it one bit.

The only plus side to her being good friends with guys in high-rank positions in the pack was that they were extremely protective over her.

Although that sparked a different kind of jealousy in me, because I wanted to be the one to protect her, but I was fine with it right now. She was standing with Mason who was threatening to kill every guy that asked for a dance. Finally, I couldn't take watching her get drunk anymore as I walked over to Mason, "Can I steal her for a minute?" I asked.

He nodded, "Go right ahead." He said.

I pulled her to the makeshift dance floor, where I gently pulled her front to mine and softly ground against her. Our grinding was less aggressive than the others around us, but it did nothing to stop mini-me from coming to life, as she swayed her hips against mine softly to the beat of the music.

She giggled, and although she was drunk it was still a heavenly sound coming from her, "You're extremely sexy." She said and giggled some more. I couldn't stop the smile that formed on my face.

"And you're extremely drunk," I said to her and she smiled.

"No, I'm just a little happy." She said, grinning from ear to ear.

"In other words, drunk," I said.

Although it was good to see her let loose and live a little. I didn't want it to be in this way.

"I think it's time we go home," I said. We'd already been here for over two hours.

"Don't be a party pooper." She frowned, and it was extremely fucking adorable.

"Yup, come on I'm taking you home," I said, and pulled her behind me as I went to find Kyle. When I found him I asked him for Arora's address and he quickly rattled it off. I asked him for his keys and he didn't argue as he handed them over to me. He wasn't going to drive tonight anyways.

Although he was a werewolf and had a high tolerance for alcohol, he could still get drunk. And he was fucking smashed right now.

I dragged Arora behind me to Kyle's SUV, before opening the passenger door and gently lifting her up into the truck and putting her seatbelt on, "You're such a gentleman." She said and giggled. I shut her door before walking around to the driver's side and got in. "Why can't we stay?" She asked.

"Because you're drunk, and I don't want anybody taking advantage of you," I said, and she giggled again.

"Oh, okay." She giggled.

I pulled out onto the road and started driving towards her house. I couldn't bring her back to Danny's house because Danny had found his mate, sometime during the party. And I think I had an idea as to what they were doing. So that meant he wasn't going to be home, and I didn't know where he lived. And Arora didn't really have any girlfriends that I could call for help, so it just left me. And I was more than happy with that. Even if she was drunk.
