The Alpha's Indian Mate

Chapter 24

C H A P T E R  24

Drew snuggled into me as we watched the butterflies and bees play hide and seek amongst the various flowers littering the forest floor. I was still somewhat in shock.

What my father had told me an hour ago was not at all what I had expected to hear. He was an Alpha! Did that make me an alpha too? Was I a werewolf as well? I had asked him these very questions and he had explained that I was half Were half human. I had alpha blood running through my veins - the idea itself seemed impossible. I thought back to yesterday when Drew had mentioned his alpha blood as he handed me his coat. Ha, if only I had known then!

He also explained that the werewolf gene was recessive and so I am a human but I did have some of the qualities of a werewolf. What they were I had yet to figure out but for now I was content lying in my mate's arms and watching the summer day unfold before me.

My father hadn't warmed up to the idea of me having a mate. In fact, I heard him whisper to mom that he was losing me once again to Drew.

When I had announced that I was going for a walk with him my father had glared holes into him, almost as if he was sending a warning. Do anything to her and I will not hesitate to kill you. I could imagine him growling.

Drew - on the other hand - was being very sweet. He offered to give me a piggyback ride to his car which I accepted even though I knew that if my father was to look outside the window (which he probably was anyway) he would be more pissed off.

He took me to the forest - the boy obviously loved his trees - and we settled in tranquillity in a small clearing, secluded and wrapped up in each others arms.

"So my little human mate is not very human after all" he muttered as he nibbled at my ear, sending waves of pleasure down my back.

"I am an alpha" I smirked trying to copy the arrogance that always came with his smirks.

"Well I am truly terrified princess. Please try not to bite my head off"

I scowled deeply as he chuckled.

"Please never ever call me a princess. I am no princess, do you even know me?" I snapped as his laugh rang in the silence, surrounding me like a comfort blanket.

"Princess it is then. Though I must say it is much better than being called Berry" he smirked as he said the last part and I felt my cheeks burn with heat.

The jerk!

I moved off his lap and he immediately stopped teasing me and tucked me into his chest.

"Okay okay. I get it. Amberia's feeling grouchy as usual and I am digging myself a hole" he sighed into my hair and I giggled at his childish behaviour.

A moment of silence ensued before I decided to tell him what I had been wabting to say all this time.

"Drew, thank you for all you've done" I whispered and he pulled me around to face him.

A small frown creased his forehead and I smoothed it out with my finger.

"I should be the one thanking you. But either way you shouldn't ever have to thank me. I love you Amberry. I don't know when it happened or how but I love you. I wish I could spout sonnets and poems to express my feelings but I can't. I can't because my love for you has no words.  You make me speechless"

He paused for a second to regard my expression before continuing. My throat felt dry as I studied him cautiously. Was this real life?

I apparently looked stunned because he continued:
