Beauty and the Beast: Alpha Edition

Chapter 6

CHAPTER SIX

Jax O'Connor's POV:

My little wolf started out her day by constantly eyeing my body, I could feel her soul reaching towards mine, softly caressing the edges of my spirit. Though, as I stared at her during breakfast, I knew she wasn't meaning to do this so I sent her wolf's delicate touches back towards her own body, fearing that if I let myself touch her essence, I might never let her go.

Her father had the nerve to ask me when I wanted to start the party after lunchtime, to find my mate, knowing very well she was sitting between the two of us. She had gotten very quiet and got up to throw her food away I assumed, maybe she wasn't as much of a foodie as I had originally thought. I had already spoken to her father about her being my mate and all he said was "It's about time that the big beast was brought to his knees by a small woman." His smirk was enough to cause me to chuckle with him at the thought of it.

After she had spoken out about the party, the little vixen was surprised when I told her father that I found my mate, so surprised that she dropped a plate and got herself hurt in the process of trying to clean up. Made my wolf go crazy with protectiveness, causing me to vampire speed-walk to her crouched body as I heard her swear and smelled her blood in the air. Oh, how I was going to enjoy living off that sweet smell the rest of my life, as long as she would have me with her. My eyes softened as I stared at her longer, no longer being able to resist the mate bond seeing her hurting, even though I'm sure she has been through worse than a piece of glass.

Her father had mentioned that her mother would have loved to see and meet her daughter's mate, but unfortunately passed away before she met me. I guess her mother was more the alpha than he was, which made me burst into laughter with him as he explained it to me. Imagining this brute of a fighter on his knees begging a woman that was quite smaller than he was, it amused me to great lengths. Though, I agreed with him saying that if she asked me to right now, I'd roll around like a dog and pant with my tongue out just to see her smile and give me her attention. I know that is my beast speaking in some way, but the rest of me agreed as well, she was ours and she had all the control.

When we got to the room, my vampire side had taken over, almost completely shadowing the other beast in my soul, wanting to protect his life force with all he has got. I could only muster up a few words at a time, pointing to the bathroom and the toilet saying "sit." She went immediately to sit and was eyeing my movements the whole time. "the tweezers are in the box under the sink." I nod my head and rummage around before making a small noise in the back of my throat, a victory noise from my wolf, the hunt for the tiny tool is over. Now, to fix my little wolf.

I watched as she leaned with her back against the toilet, fully relaxed, staring and prodding at the cut. She sighed and then noticed me finally. In the time she was looking at her wound, I lowered myself to my little wolf and just watched her. The beasts inside of me were so happy to just sit and look at her, not fully believing that she was real, and she was staying here with us. She licks her lips before turning pink and looking down in shyness. I refrained from laughing at her bashfulness and reached for her hand as gently as I could.

I poked around a bit to see where the glass was, the blood having started to dry a bit, I had to move the tweezers around to find the glass, causing her to let out a small growl and try to pull her hand away. Of course, her move being no use as my grip was loose enough to not hurt her but tight enough that she couldn't move her hand at all again. I ignored her growls of annoyance as I dug slightly into her palm, I hummed a bit when I pulled the glass out of her hand completely. Holding it up to inspect it, before dropping it into the trash can beside her toilet. I rubbed at her palm, soothing the irritated skin immediately with my vampire powers, healing was my main one, but I also had the power of mind reading and a few others.
