Mated at first sight

Chapter 22

Ashton's POV

I woke up with my sweet mate in my arms, which was pretty much the best morning ever. Last night she let me mark her, and she even marked me, which kind of surprised me. Not a lot of she wolves have the strength to mark their mate, it happens a lot more often with a she wolf that has another she wolf as her mate, but a she wolf marking her male wolf doesn't really happen, especially an Alpha. But fuck it felt good, her claiming me. I was already hers, but this just shows it off, but it also means that Evie is strong. And I couldn't be prouder.

I looked at her laying on my chest, still in a deep sleep and decided to bring her some breakfast. She probably won't wake up for a few more hours, so I have time. I quietly got out of bed an put on some shorts and a shirt and walked out of my room and down the stairs. As I walked in the kitchen, I saw my mom standing. Shit I forgot to introduce them.

"Well good morning son, nice of you to come see the woman who raised you." Shit this can't be good. "I met Evie yesterday, well for 2 seconds before she ran off to help the pups at the school."

"I'm sorry mom, but before you say anything, if the situation was different, I would have introduced you immediately."

"Stop talking." I listened, I only listen to her and my dad most of the times. "She's a good girl, I love how she acted. She didn't even know the pack yet and she still wanted to save them. So no, I'm not disappointed or angry or anything. What I am angry about is, that you didn't come and see me when everything was over. No, you just took her away upstairs, without an introduction." She said as she hit the back of my head."

"Ouch mom." I said while rubbing the spot she just hit.

"Be glad that's all I did. Now your sister is still with her mate, that's why she wasn't here yesterday, thank the moon goddess. They will probably stop by later today to meet Evie." At the mentioning of her name, I smiled instantly.

"It will be good to see her, I have some apologies to make for my behavior before I left."

"Yes, you do, speaking of Evie, where is she now?" Mom said while looking around.

"She's still sleeping, we kind of completed the mating bond yesterday." I said while blushing. Fuck I'm an Alpha I don't blush. My mom's eyes widened as she looked at my neck for the first time.

"She marked you?"

"Yeah..."

"Wow, now she must be strong."'

"Yeah, I guess she is." I was still so proud to call her my mate. But I guess I should have known she would be strong, considering she could fight off the mate bond for so long. "Anyways I was thinking about bringing her some breakfast upstairs, could you maybe help me?" I get it yes, Alpha's don't ask permission, but we do with our moms. She is the one who raised me, so I have a lot of respect for her, as well as my dad.

"Of course." She said with a smile. "Now what would she like?" We discussed some breakfast ideas and decided some fruits, tea and toast would be okay for now. If she wanted anything else, we could always just go downstairs, to eat. When we finished preparing breakfast, I walked back upstairs to my room. I knocked on the door, but she didn't answer so I just opened it. I found her the way I left her, still sleeping peacefully on her side. I put down the trey on the bed and tried to wake her up as softly as possible.

"Evie, wake up baby." She scrunched her cute little nose and slowly opened her eyes. "Good morning."

"Hi." She said in a sleepy tone. "Good morning." She yawned and stretched her arms above her head, while rubbing her eyes.

"I made you some breakfast." at the mentioning of food, she was suddenly wide awake and looked at the trey on the bed.

"Oh my god, strawberries." Note to self, she loves strawberries. "Thank you." She gave me a kiss on my mouth and pulled me into a hug, which I didn't expect but loved. She pulled back and tried to picked bend over to reach for a strawberry but decided against it.
