My Alpha and Beta

Ch. 40 - My Mate

Jax POV

I watched my perfect woman sleep peacefully by my side. I cleaned her body and tended to her soreness, but she healed faster than humanly possible. Another sign that not only was she carrying a pup, but her body was accepting my mark.

It was a risk, but some how my wolf knew she would survive. Not just survive, but that she needed this, I needed this. We were meant to be together and I knew that more than anything else.

It is very rare a wolf is mated with a human. When it does happen, it is a lowly omega with not much strength. Never was there a story of an Alpha, Beta, or Delta marking a human, and never when they weren't fated.

For now, if she accepts my mark, she will grow stronger. When she wakes, I needed to bring her to Star for more answers. There was so much uncharted territory we were all heading into we need as much information as possible. Now that she is my mate Liam can't keep her from me either.

My fingers brushed over face. "I'll take you everywhere, love. We have the entire world to explore, and many beds to try out. Sleep beautiful." I kissed her lips softly and got up to shower.

The entire room reeked of sex, and as much as I loved all of our scents here, we needed to wash away our time together. No one can know Liam is part of our little trio of sin either.

After I showered I bathed Riley, falling more deeply in love with this human woman. She was perfect in every way and now she is mine. I wrapped her in a towel and carried her to her room. I laid her down gently, crawling in next to her, and wrapped myself around her.

"Wake soon, beautiful. I miss your voice, and I need to see these eyes looking at me again." I kissed her lips, then cuddled her to my side. My chest rumbled in approval that she was safe in my arms and my child's faint heartbeat was getting stronger.

I found sleep instantly, without a care in the world. She was mine, forever. I prayed she got a wolf, it was rare, even more rare than her surviving my mark. I wasn't exactly sure how it worked either, but I wanted to proudly wear her mark one day too.

Hours went by as I slipped in and out of sleep. All night Riley slept like a log. I could hear her heartbeat and that of my child growing inside her, so I knew they were safe.

I low moan escaped her lips and I jumped up to watch her face. "Are you waking, beautiful?"

I continued to watch her for what felt like hours when she began stirring in her sleep. "There you are, love. Open those eyes for me." I begged, leaning my head to her neck and peppering kisses over my mark on her delicate skin.

"Jax." She moaned out.

"Mine!" My eyes darkened to pitch black watching her slowly peel her eyes open. She survived and we will have a lifetime together. The panic I was pushing down all night finally subsided the second those hazel eyes looked deep into mine.

She looked at me strangely, showing no fear to my wolf taking control, then she slowly moved her hand to her neck. "Did you bite me, asshole!"

I chuckled at my little human with an attitude of a goddess.

"Yes, I did. What are you going to do about it?"

She looked at me like I was an alien and I realized my wolf was fully at front. My face was contorted like a beast and my eyes completely black.

"What is wrong with you? All of you? Do you have any idea how fucking terrifying all this is? Then you just fucking bite me!" She was so pissed. Those hazel eyes stared at my wolf without an ounce of fear though.

"I bit you to make you mine. Try telling me it didn't feel absolutely amazing, doll."

"Make me yours? What does that mean?"
