Alex pov.

I wondered around the floors for a few more seconds before I realized I literally had no freaking clue where I was going.

I could escape being as my supposed body guard roman was well distracted but I was to tired from all the running earlier. not to mention my ankle still hurt like a bitch.

Yep perks of being part demon is that without blood while I still heal supernaturally fast everything becomes somewhat slower.

If it wasn't for my healing ability my body would probably look 10x more like something out of Frankensteins lab then it already was.

I want around and the dead silence of the house starts to make me anxious. "Rose you think I should go find Leo"

I WOULD BE LYING IF I TOLD YOU I DIDNT WANT TO SEE OUR MATE

I scoffed slightly at that. well I guess I should find him. using my senses I instantly pick of on his unforgettable scent of hazelnut and December wood burning fire.

Following the scent I went down the the 1st floor of rooms. there I walked through one of the doors.

I hadn't realized it before but there was one door on each floor that looked different from the others and through this one was a long hallway.

I followed the hallway that lead huge elegant looking double doors. His scent was extremely strong coming from the slightly a jar doors.

I carefully walking up to the dark wood doors and peeked in. His room was exactly as I had left it literally, I could see a few splotches of blood that snow stained his short white fuzzy carpet.

I hope he's not to mad about the carpet. I opened his door wider and stuck my head inside. His scent was still there but it was not super strong meaning he wasn't inside.

Suddenly I felt hot air brush against my ear. "BOO". I screamed and jumped forward landing on my hands and knees.

I dropped down payed out in star position on his floor when my senses realized who it was.

"You bitch are u trying to give me a heart attack I swear that was not funny" I huffed. "actually I think it was quite amusing. serves u right for escaping roman" Leo countered.

"Well it's not my fault that Jamie came home and suddenly he's got himself preoccupied drooling over his mat.."

I sat up and turned around to glare at him but my words got caught in my throat. "mate" I said kinda shakily.

Of course Leo just had to freaking be standing there sweaty and shirtless like a mother freakin god of abecrombie and Fitch models.

Leo was lightly tanned and his six pack was in my full view shinning from being sweaty.

he was wearing boxers and basketball shorts that were slightly lower so you could see the Calvin Klein waistband, and everything hung dangerously low on his hips.

His raven black hair was messed up but in a sexy I just woke up looking like sex kinda way.

I swear this man is to tempting like literally I just described his appearance like some kinda of pervert. this attraction doesn't help the fact that I'm eventually going to have to leave.

This is some sort of sick joke that the demon goddess mamoru is playing on me. like lets freaking put Alex with the most irresistible guy when she's trying to run away for his safety.

"Eh hem... So are u done eye raping me" I've been staring at him for like 3 minutes . I face palm myself. idiot.

"Wat no I just kind dozed of for I second" I said looking away. I could feel my cheeks starting to flush, and I don't freaking do that like those stupid girls in romance books.

He chuckles "ok sure lets go with that". his face suddenly got serious and he walked over to me with a outstretched hand."hows your ankle"

He looked worried." it's fine ". "Are you sure I think you should go to the hospital first". I stood up feeling the need to wince at the sudden pressure on my ankle.

But I didn't want to worry him so I held it back. "I think you should put a shirt on first before we do anything"

In all actuality and Rose and thorn agree but I wanted home to keep his shirt off. Leo walked over to his closet and grabbed a white shirt putting it on.

I looked down realizing I had ruined his shirt which was now covered in grass staines from the sliding I did when I was having my James Bond escape moment.

I walked over to the gray sloth running team tank top I had left. he's already seen my scars so there's no point in holding them I thought. plus I felt bad robbing another of his shirts.

"You mind turning around" I said picking up the tank top. "I think this is discrimination, I mean u eye raped me already" he dated joking but turned around.

I slipped of his shirt and put on the sloth shirt. the scars on my arms now very visible."im good"

Leo turned around his eyes instantly locking onto the scars on my arms. his gaze was intense put his deep blue eyes held bag sadness and questions.

Maybe I should have just stole another shirt. I started slowly rubbing my arms, felling uncomfortable under his gaze.

Leo sensed that feeling and grabbed one of his black zip up hoodies, successful tossing it to me. "thanks" I said gratefully.

"I'm guessing you don't want to tell me how you got some of those" he looked upset and slightly angry. weather it was aimed at me I wasn't going to dwell on it to much.

"No I'm not" I said shuffling my feet to try and think of a way to change the topic. when nothing came to mind I looked over to see the blood stained carpet.

"Sorry about the carpet by the way". he looked up at me "your kidding right". "no not really" I didn't really get why he asked that.

The second I said that he walked right up to me irritation clearly written on his face.

I walked back as he moved closer until I was against the wall.
He hit the wall , putting both hands on either side of me and I swear he could have cracked the wall.

I felt so tiny being caged in by his tall muscular frame he was probably 6'1 maybe 6'2 while I was a short 5'2.

he stared me straight in the eyes in such a intimidating way so I unconsciously looked down under the pressure.

"Damn it Alex" he said lifting my chin in order to meet his eyes. "Do you really think I care about that stupid carpet after that stunt u pulled earlier. do you know how scared shitless I was, and yet u think I'm worried about the freaking carpet"

"I'm sorry" I whispered softly, but with his wolf hearing he could hear it. "don't you freaking do that again. I care for you too much already to see you slip away"

He held my face in his hands as he said that and for some reason my bodies usual response to guys touching me had completely gone on vacation.

The warmth from his hands made my body feel so unexplainably comfortable and the Sparks of the mate bond were electrifying.

He huffed "dinners ready. come down to the kitchen when your ready" he ruffled his hair and then walked out of the room.

I slid down the wall and looked up at the ceiling my eyes on the brink of tears.....

"Mamoru, this has to be some kind of sick joke"
