The Small Whisperer (BoyxBoy)

CHAPTER TEN

POV: JACKSON

It was Saint and I now in the office. I looked over at him, he was looking at his shoes, deep in thought. I know he's scared of what might happen, anyone would be too. I don't know exactly what's going on and I'm going to find out. I don't accept the mate bond but I won't let him get hurt.

"No need to get worked up Saint, I won't let anything happen to you." I assured him. He look up at me and gave a small nod.

"I'm just worried about my mom. What if they go after her? I don't know..." His voice was thick with worry.

"She'll be fine. I'll assign some guards to look out for her, don't worry" I told him.

"Alright. I'll just head home now. I'm exhausted from all of this" he said, his hands rubbing arms.

"I'll drop you" I stood up and grabbed my keys.

"No, it's fine. I don't want to disturb you" he said

"I don't have much work to do here so it's fine"I told him, walking him out of my office. We got downstairs and I opened the car and we got in.

Saint let out a soft sigh as soon as he got in. He does this whenever he enters my car and I couldn't help but let curiosity take over and ask him why.

"Why do you always sigh softly when you enter the car?"

"Oh, um....The car smells like you" he mutters and looked out the window, trying to hide the blush I already saw.

He looks cute when he blushes. I paused, What did I just think? I shake my head, turning the car on and driving us home.

From the corner of my eyes I could see that he keeps rubbing his ears. He opens his mouth and shuts it again. Does he have something to say?

"Do you want to say something?"

"Yeah, but I don't know how to put it" he says, still rubbing his ears.

"Well I'm all ears, no need to be nervous" I told him.

"How do you know I'm nervous" he asked, seemingly surprised.

"It seems you rub your ears when you are. Am I wrong?" I asked looking at him. He cuts eye contact immediately, looking at the road. I chuckle softly.

"Well, I wanted to asked what time the warriors train. I want to train with them" he spoke. Why was he nervous about that? He can do whatever he wants. I wanted to tell him this but he continues.

"I know the Luna isn't supposed to train with warriors but-" I cut him off.

"You are not the Luna" my harsh tone speak volumes with a frown etched on my face. He shuts his mouth immediately, staring at his blankly at his laps. Why did he think he was?

We got home and I parked the car before speaking again. "You can do whatever you want, no need to get my permission. Training starts by 6 in the morning at the training ground." I told him, the frown still present on my face.

"I'll be in my room" he said and rushed out.

Way to go jackass. JJ said with a low growl.
What? He thinks he's Luna when I said we're just friends. I shot back.
Aren't you going to tell your pack the reason why he's staying with you? JJ asked.
That made me pause. I hadn't thought about that honestly.
Clearly he has thought about it. You have to tell the pack he's your mate sooner or later. Now you've ruined his mood. JJ huffed, blocking me out.

I sighed. How did my life come to this?

I got out of my car and went inside. Beth and Tom sat in the living room watching TV. "Thank you Beth, I'll take it from here" I said to her.

"Okay, Alpha. I'll be on my way now." She said and ruffled Tom hair. He giggled and waved her goodbye. I sat with Tom to watch Tv too but my mind keeps going back to Saint. I have to apologize to him. I don't know why I keep saying mean things to him.

After a few hours of me not concentrating on what was being shown on the Tv, Tom went to his room to shower and get his homework done while I head to my room to shower. Saint hasn't come out of his room since. Was he avoiding me?

I got dressed in a matching PJ with Tom and went to the dinning to see Tom already eating. Saint came out with a plate of food in his hands.

"He knocked on my door and told me he wanted dinner so...." Saint said.

"Daddy I came to your room but you were in the bathroom, so I went to uncle Saint" Tom said taking a spoonful of food.

"It's fine son" I said kissing his hair.

"I'll eat in my room. Excuse me" Saint said going to his room.

Yeah, he's avoiding me. I sighed, going to the kitchen to grab my food.
