Secrets and Darkness

Chapter 3

My mate and the other wolves lead me though the woods at a slow pace due to my injures. We reached a clearing that held a very large building in the center that loomed over us as we walked up to it. My mate returned to his human form as well as the others. I remained in my wolf form trying to look as small and harmless as possible under the gazes of the others. My mate looked at me and growled " you do not listen to orders very well." I looked into his furious eyes with must have been a look of terror as I started to back away from him ears down and tail between my legs. He saw this and sigh walking over to me. I whimpered and curled up again into a tight ball as a way to protect myself. I closed my eyes and waited. A hand came and patted my head making sparks flicker across my skin were he touched. " come this way I'll show you to our room." He said and started to walk away and I walked slowly behind him.
We twisted and turned though the maze of hallways. I looked at the halls trying to remember my way so that if I needed to run later but I quickly lost my way and just focused on following my mate. As we walked I admired my mate, his tall slender figure and muscular shoulders and arms made me want to touch him.
He stopped suddenly and I almost slammed into him making me leap back. He turned toward me " this is our room." He said and my fur tingled as he said it. This is our room our room. He opened the door and stepped back allowing me to enter first. I stepped in slowly and looked around. It wasn't that big of a room a king size bed sat center in the room, a small bed side table sat left of the bed with a small black lamp on top. To the right of the bed was a door that lead to the bathroom. I stepped in to see that it had both a shower in one corner and a large tub in the other. I the side with the tub was a small sink with a mirror. I walked back to the bedroom to see that my mate was watching me I looked and tried to read his expression but his face Show nothing and I started to feel self-conscious. I walked slowly over to the bed and leaped up on it laid down and closed my eyes. I heard my mate sigh and then the sounds of him transforming into his wolf form. I looked up to see his large black wolf form staring at me again. We staring at each other for a long moment before he broke the stare and walked over to the bed and leaped on. I stud up quickly and my mate crouched low and moved slowly toward me I watched him as he moved up to me and lay down his back toward me and sighed in exhaustion. I watched him for a moment my body wanted to go to his and cuddle close to him make him feel me but my rational mind told me otherwise. His breathing was normal so I know he was still awake but I slowly moved toward him and laid down with my back lightly grazing his back. I heard him breath in sharply as our backs touched but he then let it out slowly and fell asleep. I didn't fall asleep right away but thought about the wolf laying next to me even if he is my mate can I really trust this man. I sigh and allowed myself to be swept in a dreamless sleep.
