The Mate

Chapter Fourteen

Alex knew all his life he was destined for great things. He also knew he had to be, being the Alpha. He knew what he wanted in his life. He wanted a family with his mate. He knew that his Luna was going to be the most beautiful person to ever walk the earth. He knew that everything that he was trained for would all be for her.

Alex was positive that when he met his Luna she would be exactly what he wanted. He was mostly right. What he didn't expect was for her to be as beautiful on the outside as she was on the inside. His Luna would have to show kindness, love, and grace.

Melody was that and more. He knew from the moment that he saw her she was his perfect mate. He couldn't imagine, now, that he was going to reject her. He was mad at himself for even thinking about it. He looked into her eyes and saw how serious she was.

Alex wanted to make a family with his Luna. He wanted to give her everything he could get his hands on. He wanted her to carry his pups and make love with him every chance they got. He wanted to make sure she was happy. He was in love with her from the second he saw her. No one was ever going to hurt her. No one was ever going to get a chance to hurt her.

As Alex tried to comprehend what she told him the door burst open.

"Alpha, I'm sorry." His gamma apologized. "Ethan is asking to talk to you."

"Why? What does he want?"

"He won't tell us. But he is pissed. He wanted to-"

"Sorry to interrupt you Andrew but the Alpha and I have some business to attend to before anyone else speaks to us or we speak to them." Melody stood up and walked over to Andrew. "If you don't mind, please get John to get all the information he has about my pack and get it for me. Tell Ethan that Alex and I will be with him within the hour."

"Yes Luna." Andrew nodded his head then walked out.

I think she is the perfect Luna, Alpha. Andrew had mindlinked Alex.

Yes, yes she is.

Alex was amazed at how well she had handled the entire situation. He didn't realize just how well she was going to fit into her position. The moon Goddess knew exactly what she was doing when she matched them together. He walked over to her and kissed her.

Melody had to remember to not look down for too long. She had to remind herself to not look at all. His hands went to her face and just held on to her. He didn't want to let her go. An hour was not going to be long enough for him. He wanted to spend all day and night with her.

She pulled away, breathless. "Where is your room?"

"Ugh, too far away." he huffed.

"I'm not doing it here." she told him. "Tell me where it is."

"Too far." he pulled away from her neck. "Third floor, east wing. MoonLight hall." he told her.

"Wait," she looked at him. "Your halls are named?"

"Yeah, they have to be. We have a decent sized pack house."

"I can see that. Now, direct me to the correct way." she told him.

He hunched his shoulders and began the journey toward his quarters. He saw a few omegas throughout the halls. They averted their eyes while he would nod his head to them. Being naked didn't seem to bother anyone in the house. It must have been something that they were all used to.

Melody didn't know if that was something that she was going to be able to do. Or even get used to it. She kept following him to his room and felt like the house was never ending. While walking she noticed that the hallways were decorated with pictures of the forest, rivers, lakes, and the ocean. She saw pictures of the mountains.

Natural light was pouring through into the hall. She saw just how far up in the house she was when she looked out the window and saw the ground and the people on it looked small. This still didn't seem real to her. There was no way she was in a pack house with wolves. Or that she was a wolf and she was about to go and be mated.

She kept following him and wondering just how far the room was from his office. Why would anyone want to have to walk so far from their room?

"Not much longer," he told her. "I used to hate this walk. It doesn't bother me anymore. I like not being so close to everyone. It makes me sleep better." he told her.

"Just one more hall and we will be there." He looked back at her.

When they reached his bedroom door he opened it and she stepped in.

"Wow." She looked around his room.

He had a king size bed with a beautiful white canopy and fabric hanging over the four posters on the far left side that was parallel with the door, with a TV on the opposite side of the room. A door that led to his bathroom. She walked to the door and peeped inside.

She saw the giant tub in the middle of the bathroom with a walk in party shower to the left of it. She ran a hand over the tub and felt that it was pure marble. It was gorgeous. She popped her head in the shower and saw the twelve shower heads.

"Hmm." was all she said.

She ran a hand over the towels then stopped her hand. It felt like a cloud. They were the softest towels she had ever touched. She grabbed a hand towel and ran it over her face. When she put it back she walked back out to the room; she saw Alex sitting in a chair by some bookcases.

"What do you think?" He asked her.

"I love that tub. I'm going to have to take a long, hot bath in it." she smiled.

"There's more than soaking to be done in that tub." a grin ran across his face.

"Oh, I'm sure you can think of something." she walked to him. "I do want to tell you something first."

"What's wrong?" he saw worry in her eyes.

"I'm sure you saw the scars on my back." he nodded. "I need you to know that I got them when I was younger through abuse. I was whipped by one of the foster parents with a wire hanger. I talked back to him and he hit me until I bled. When the foster mom came home she hit me more because I got blood on the floor.

"She hit me with the same hanger. I just wanted to let you know before you see them up close. I did have to have stitches. So, when I went to the hospital CPS was called and I was transferred again and they were no longer allowed to foster. And they were sent to jail."

"I am so sorry you had to go through that." He grabbed her hand and kissed it. "I will never hurt you. I will never let anyone hurt you like that. Every pain you feel, I feel it too."

"I'm just a little nervous. Can you possibly tell me what you will be doing?"

He wasn't expecting that question to be asked. Oh the things he wanted to do to her. He kissed her cheek.

"Are you sure you want me to tell you?" he asked.

"I just want to know what I'm getting into."

"A lot." he growled. "You will be mine."

"Hmmm," she purred. He kissed her neck.

"I will lay you down, kiss every inch of your body. Lick every spot I can. I will touch you in places you didn't know you had. I will glide in and out of you slowly," he ran his tongue over her neck. "I will slide in and out until you beg for more."

Goosebumps ran along her body as his hands went to her breast; rubbing them through her shirt and bra. A sign escaped her mouth.

"I will make sure that you won't be able to walk. I will kiss you in places you've never been kissed. I will hold you tight, I will make you come again and again."

She sat on his lap, feeling him growing hard under her. Her hips began to buck on him. "Anything else?" she asked.

"A lot more." He picked her up, placing her on the bed. "A lot more."
