Vanessa

I look into his eyes, their swirling blue pulling me in. His windswept brown hair looks so soft and fluffy. He looked me up and down making me feel a little overdressed seeing as he was wearing a dark sweatshirt and sweatpants.
My father glanced at us knowingly, "Nessa I would like you to meet Damien Sarov, Beta of the Night Warrior Pack." "Damien, this is my daughter Vanessa," he says.
He nods at me, some faint emotion dancing across his face. "Um, let me show you to your room," I say, nervous about what he would say once we left my dad.
He picked up his bags and followed me as I guided him up the stairs telling whose rooms were which and where he would sleep.
We got to his room at the end of the hall and I led him in. He goes past me and sets his bags next to the closet. His scent fills my nostrils and I can't help but breathe in a little more deeply.
He turns around and grabs my waist, pulling me in close to him. His hoodie is soft and I grab on a little tighter to him.
"You know, I was starting to lose hope on whether I would ever actually find you but here you are," he murmurs into my hair. "My sweet little angel."
I purr against him loving his name for me. I pull back realizing I'm still all dressed up. "I'll be right back," I say. But he doesn't let me go. I giggle a little and just pull him with me to my room.
"Wait here," I say as I plant him on my bed. I grab a pair of sweats and a big shirt before walking into the bathroom to change.
I walk back out to find him lying down staring at the ceiling. He sits up and cracks a smile, motioning for me to come sit next to him. I jump onto the bed and lay next to him. He grabs and pulls me on top of him, making my heart flutter as he kisses the top of my head. We lay for a while just taking everything in, when of course Jake decides to pop in.
"NESS-WHAT THE FUCK?" He shouts as he walks in. Which in turn causes both my parents and Alpha Harry to run in.
I groan and sink my head deep into Damien's chest, while he just chuckles at me. He lifts me up off the bed and stands up next to me. We turn to face the firing squad.
Jake is lowly growling while my parents and Harry just look amused. Damien steps forward, "It appears that I have found my mate, Vanessa. And I am asking you, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, for permission to take her back with us to the Night Warrior Pack. "
I glance at my parents, not sure what to expect. Surprisingly they say yes. I smile in relief, thanking the goddess that I wouldn't have to run away just to be with my mate. Jake just frowns but reluctantly smiles at me.
"Well I guess it's time for dinner," my mum says as she walks out. "Come on everybody."
I grab Damien's hand, sparks flying, and lead him down to the dining room. I smile to myself amazed at how I managed to be so lucky.
After dinner the alphas and betas retreated into Alpha Lucas' office to have their little meeting. I decided to go out for a run with Jake just to get some fresh air and talk to him. We reached a small lake and changed back into some shorts and shirts.
Jake heads over to a small bench situated a few feet from the lake and sits down. I follow suit.
"Can I have your room?" I stare at Jake and just roll my eyes. "I'll stab you if you do anything to my room. I've watched enough shows to know how to get away with murder." I say. He lightly chuckles and faces the lake as the sun starts to go down.
We chat for a while, catching up on everything going on in our lives. The sun bids us one last goodbye as the moon rises up to greet us. Dad mind links us to tell us the meeting is over and to head home.
We get up and quickly shift into our wolves, always challenging eachother to see who would be able to get home the fastest. I win (of course) and arrive at the house. I change back and put my hand over my mouth, pretending to yawn.
"What took you so long?" I say, glancing at my nonexistent watch. "I've been waiting for you for hours."
"That was so unfair," he mumbles as he walks up to the door. "You pushed me into a bush."
We walk in realizing it's already 9 and dinner was served a long time ago. Oops. Jake decides to head to bed while I decide to go to the kitchen. I hope there's mac & cheese.
I walk to the cabinet, praying, and open the doors. There in all it's glory, was some mac & cheese. I grab a box and thank the heavens.
When I've finished making it, I grab a large bowl spoon half the pot in. I take it to the couch and sit down. Something underneath me groans. I quickly jump up and look at the couch.
"It's not very nice to sit on people you know." Damien says. I blush feeling quite embarrassed and not sure what to say.
"What are you doing down here? It's pretty late and I thought everyone had gone to sleep." I murmur still a little shocked.
"I wanted to make sure you were okay, you weren't here for dinner." He says. Damien sits up and gently pulls me down into his side. "What do you wanna watch?"
I smirk and grab the remote. "How about some murder?"
He chuckles. I snuggle in deeper to him, shoveling spoonfuls of mac & cheese into my mouth. I put my bowl down on a small table when I finish and turn back to him. Just as I'm about to get comfy, I feel a heavy weight rest on my bum. He laughs as I pull his hand off and into mine. I rest my head on his chest.
"Goodnight my love." He kisses my head and just like that I'm out. Thankful that Gibbs had solved the case before I fell asleep.
