Finding A Home Amongst The Wolves

Aware of my mate

~Snow~

After Danny's little episode with the she wolf dinner went on like nothing happened and I was proud that Danny stood up for herself and her mate.

You know, cause us females have to lay claim to our mate's just for those thirsty bitches that don't understand.

Ten minutes into my conversation with Blake's mom a huge ass yawn comes out of my mouth disrupting my conversation and Blake's who sits next to me.

Smiling softly to him I try to tell him to continue talking with my eyes but he either doesn't get it or chooses not to. Either way he excuses himself and myself and picks me up without even asking if I wanted to go.

He's currently carrying me up the multiple flights of stairs while I pout in his arms.

"Pouting looks good on you babe."

Him telling me that only succeeded in making me pout harder and ignore his gaze as he walks into his room.

"Awe babe don't be mad. You were tired and I love taking care of you."

Crossing my arms over my chest I look up at him as he places me down on the bed.

"I wasn't done talking."

"Well I was. Its been a long couple of days and we're both tired. Plus I missed you."

My gaze softens when I realize that not only have we not seen each other in awhile but I also got 'kidnapped' on his territory which has to have made him anxious and angry.

Scooting over to him I wrap my arms around his neck allowing all my weight to rest on him and kiss the underside of his jaw.

"I'm sorry baby. Lets go to bed."

Looking up I close my eyes as his lips descend to mine in a loving, tender kiss.

Breaking the kiss he takes off his shirt and hands it to me so that I can put it on. Taking my pants off I crawl up the bed and lay on the pillows waiting for Blake to come to me. Taking his pants off he climbs into bed in his boxers and pulls me into his arms, wrapping them tightly around me as I snuggle into his side.

Kissing his neck I throw my leg over his before closing my eyes as sleep consumes me and I realize how tired I actually was.

-Blake-

Placing my hand on Snow's leg I look down at my little sleeping mate and bask in her presence.

After having her get taken on my property, spending four days away from her, and going through the ritual my mind and body had both taken a hard blow.

I was tired, too tired to be exact, but I couldn't seem to fall asleep. I was too anxious, constantly looking over my shoulder for anything to go wrong.

Like I knew it would, nothing this peaceful lasts forever without a problem or two.

I lay still, staring at the ceiling when a small knock sounds at my door. Sniffing the air I already know who it is due to the lightness of the knock but I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry.

"Come in Rose." 

The door swings open a little bit and Rose's small form pads to the side of my bed.

"Watcha need Munchkin?"

".. I had a nightmare."

Grabbing her under the arms I pull her up on my chest where she snuggles into the small space in between Snow and I.

"Bout what?"

She sniffles quietly and wipes the tears off her cheek with the back of her hand.

"I had a dream that you and Snow disappeared again. Only this time you guys never came back."

Before I could even reassure Rose in any way Snow's eyes drifted open and she lifted her head just enough to place a small kiss on the top of Rose's head. 

"That, my little flower, will never happen. And do you wanna know why?"

Rose's small head nods up and down as she stares into Snow's eyes.

"Because I refuse to let that happen. I refuse to lose your brother, just like he refuses to lose me. With that, young one, we know that we'll always come back to you, we won't ever leave you like in your nightmare."

"She's right you know. I refuse to let what's mine get taken away from me. And you and her are as much mine as I am yours."

"That's right sweet Rose. We're too stubborn and possessive to let anything happen. So go to sleep Munchkin, nothing will happen, we'll watch over you."

Rose's eyes drift shut as Snow kisses her cheek and closes her eyes as well. Nothing will, ever, happen to them.

As my eyes drift close behind them I subconsciously pull them closer to me, to protect them always.
