Rhys p.o.v

I watch Alexia's wolf as it sits staring at me waiting for me to speak to her.

"Ivy." I nod. She slightly nods back. "Let's go for a run." I said and she quickly stands. Her dark purple eyes glowing with excitement. "You run.. I catch." My eyes grew darker as she ran from her place. I quickly let my wolf take control shifting in the process. He knew how to find his mate. He also knew why we were gonna chase mate down. I feel as he runs the wind blowing through our fur. We knew exactly where mate was. After all we were right behind her now. Mate was fast but not fast enough. Her wolf was dormant for a long time. Ivy  was obviously powerful who shouldn't be ignored. She gave off an alpha aura. If the glowing purple eyes wasn't enough. Her wolf does not favor being submissive. She's always fighting to be out and I know Ivy will be difficult to control. My wolf growls loudly and Ivy runs faster. She takes a sharp left. I felt my wolf grin. Game on little wolf.

Alexia moans loudly. Her back arches. She stares at me. Her eyes were beautifully mixed. Dark purple and brown.

"You guys better not be mating in there."  Justin yells from the other side of the lock door. I tell him to leave through the pack link. Alexia eyes turn full brown and she blushes pushing my chest to get me off of her. I sigh but I move. We were so close to mating. I don't know how much longer I would be able to hold back. My wolf growls angrily inside of me. I close my eyes and lay next to Alexia. Her wolf was out pretty much all afternoon. I can tell she is calmer since she has been let out. She got time to spend with her mate for a few hours and I believe she's satisfied.

My wolf on the other hand Isn't satisfied at all. He wants all of Alexia. So do I. We can't wait much longer especially with this vampire prince trying to take my mate isn't helping. I'll kill him. I'll kill every vampire if I have to.

"Rhys." Alexia whispered. Her hand landed on my chest. My body relaxed and my mind went blank. I was sure to pay attention to her and only her. She blushes. "You were shaking." She explains. I close my eyes again. She lays her head on my chest.

"Promise me something Alexia?" I asked after a few moments of silence.

"Mhm." She mumbles.

"Make thought out decisions. Like if you are in trouble mind link me instead of running alone." I whisper.

"Okay. I promise." She gets more comfortable. I let her sleep comfortably for a little longer before getting up and walking to her dad's study. I knocked lightly.

"Come in." He says and I open the door. He glances at me then back to his paper he was reading. I close the door behind me and I sat on the couch. Unlike my father's office and mine.. there were no seats in front of his desk. Just a couch on the side. "What can I do for you Rhys ?"  He turned his chair towards me.

"I need to mate with Alexia. I can't wait for much longer." I said strongly. He stares at me before shaking his head. I didn't miss the amusement in his eyes.

"This is a terrible time to be mating. Vampires are crossing the boarder future alpha. But all you are worried about is mating with my daughter."

"I know. I can't focus. I heard mating makes the wolf's stronger and more one. This would be great for both Alexia and I." I said. He glares at me.

"No. You will not.." He starts. I growl cutting him off.

"I love Alexia so much. I want us to be happy. I understand that may not be today or tomorrow. I know we will have to work hard for the life we both want." I tell him and he just stares at me.

"Not under my roof." He says finally.

"I can take her to my house." I smirked and he growled.

"No is no. If you love Alexia as you claim then you can wait a few more weeks." He turns away from me and back towards his paper work. I look out the large window in front of us. The office was arranged to look solely out this window. I sighed and studied the scene. It was a crescent moon tonight. So there wasn't much light from the moon. But with the stars help the sky was bright. It was a beautiful scenery. A small smile found its way to my face as I remember the day I found out I was mates with Alexia. It was a few months ago but it felt like yesterday. The storm outside caused some electrical problems. That night was the night I held my mate for the first time. I can see why she came in here that night.

The room was peaceful. It gave off a good energy and smelted wonderful. Just like the rest of the house. I secretly love this house more than my own and the pack house. Not only is Alexia here the house made you feel welcomed. There was a soft knock at the door. Alexia's mom walked through. She had on a nightgown and her hair tied up in a bun. She looked beautiful for her age. 46 I believe she was.

"Oh hello Rhys? Everything okay?" She asked looking at me then her mate.

"Hello Mrs. Michaels everything is great. Just having a conversation and enjoying the room." I smile at her. Phillip scoffs.

"Well it's good to see you in one piece. Where's Alexia?" She questioned.

"She fell asleep earlier." I answer her. Since that's is all that really mattered. She nods understanding before leaning on Phillip's desk.

"Come to bed." She says. Just like that Phillip puts his papers in a drawer and stands. He lifts his mate in his arms and walks out. "Good night." Alexia's mother calls out. I chuckled and mumbled it back. They were probably in bed by now cuddling. Whispering about the conversation Phillip and I just had. I felt a pinch in my chest. I should be with my mate.

"Rhys." Alexia yawns coming through the door. "What are you doing?" She crossed her arms. I walked to her and picked her up.

"Nothing. Just was about to come back to your room." I whisper. She lays her head on my shoulder.

"Put me down." She wraps her arms around my neck. I shake my head and carry her back upstairs. How'd she find me in this state? I have no idea. I tried to put her in the bed but she tighten her arms around my neck. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"I'm just gonna to get undressed." I kissed her forehead and she let's me go. She sits up and watches me with almost closed eyes. I undress quickly and get into bed. She climbs on top of me and lays on my chest. As if I was her bed she relaxes and her breathing evens out. She has had a long day I don't blame her sleepiness. I pull the covers over us and let my eyes drift shut. Today wasn't too bad.
