The Witch On The Mountain

Chapter 35

I cling to Nathaniel as Alexander's cabin comes into view. Alexander had called telling us to come over, his mates heat subsiding the night before.

He opened the door all smiles and teeth, him and Nathan having a secret conversation with their eyes. Nathan chuckles as Alexander finally lets us in.

Stepping into the familiar house a girl stares back at me.

Wild curly hair, dark skin and gentle but watchful eyes. She looks me over assessing me, her uncovered arms showing light muscle. Her hard gaze still on me as she rose from her seat in the sofa.

Her eyes pier into me, almost as if looking at prey. Her form coiled for attack.

"Azula, She's so cute Nate." Suddenly before I could react she's right next to me squeezing my face under her fingers.

She's very fast.

"I know." He chuckled making no move to make her release me.  She was slightly taller than me so I had to look up at her, her hazel eyes descended by patches of freckles.

Although intrusive I didn't feel uneasy around her, much like Alexander her presence put me at ease. Finally she let my face free only to punch Nathan on his shoulder.

He rubs the spot pulling me to him.

"Refrain from getting your scent all over her, her scent is far superior." He says kissing my cheeks where she'd touched.

"You should be thanking her." Alexander pipes up joining their lips in a deep kiss. I look away, their intimacy making me uncomfortable.

Nathan lets me go to push Alexander off her. "Thanking her for what exactly."

Alexander pushes him back triggering a bout. "Allowing us to be in her presence."

They start fighting each other stumbling around the small space. Sly grins on both their faces.

Juana cane next to me leaning on my shoulder as I watched the two wolves. "Those two are like puppies I swear." She caresses my hair in her fingers looking in at them. "Well have to keep them on a leash won't we Azula."

I look at her and nod slowly.

I think I'll like Juana.

......................

We walk to Alexander's parents house for dinner getting to the dinning room we're greeted with Aiden and Sarah.

Nathan, Alexander and Juana exchange a look before all looking back at the pair. Unsure at what they saw I looked too.

Aiden was blushing but didn't look any different. Sarah had her hair up, a style I hadn't seen on her the many days we'd been in each other's company.

Looking closer I could see the scarred bite of a wolf on her nape meaning Aiden had marked her.

"Well well well look what's happened here." Alexander sits next to him brother his mother and father appearing out the kitchen.

"We left them alone for one night and came back to a mated pair." His mother caresses Sarah's shoulder as she sets down a covered dish. She offers a smack to the back of her younger son's head. He rubs the spot but doesn't say anything.

Juana sits next to me Nathan on my other side. Sarah gives me a smile from across the table her glasses sliding down her nose in usual fashion.

"I just hope I don't get any grand children from youngest before my eldest. The first son should give me some before the second." Alexander's father sits at the head of the table putting another plate at the head, his mate's words causing Juana to shift uncomfortably in her seat.
