The Alpha's Soulmate

Part 18: Overprotective Mate

With the shattering of glass, several snarling wolves leapt through the broken wall. 

"Stay away from her!" The girl who was sitting - now standing next to Rose said. Too busy to comprehend what was being said, I saw the older of the pair get in a protective stance in front of her. 

The wolves that killed the man quickly then left, running south. Minutes later, I heard shots being fired, the a very fast whizzing noise which sounded like an annoying fly that you can always hear but not quite see. 

I looked down at the fallen man, only to see an arrow pointing out of his back. 

A few minutes later Xander came down the stairs, with his eyes searching for something, until he finally laid his gaze upon me, and his features softened a little. But then he quickly turned it to the smashed window and he came running the rest of the way down the stairs, to check if I was hurt and helping me up from the lying position I found myself in, trying to protect myself from the glass. 

"Are you alright darling?" He asked concern lacing in his voice and features.

"I'm fine Xander, just a tad bit annoyed about my omelettes." I said attempting to bury my head on his shoulder, which only, it would seem, could be accomplished in high heels. Speaking of shoes, I didn't know where my huntress boots had disappeared to, I would have to ask Xander about it later. 

He chuckled for a few seconds and then it turned into a full blown smirk.

'Damn he looks hot!' Sapphire said.

"I agree but if he finds out you said that, his ego will only skyrocket."

'Makes me want to jump him right now.'

"Sapphire get your mind out of the gutter."

With that I disconnected our mindlink connection, but it seemed that during mine and Sapphire's talk, that Xander had swept me up again and had taken me into the kitchen, and put me onto a seat next to the kitchen island. 

Although that made me wonder, how much did we actually know about each other? In that, how old was he? 

"I'm twenty two, love." He chuckled.

"Xander I just realised I hardly know anything about you, can I ask you some questions?"

"Go ahead," he said but it was muffled because he had a spoon in his mouth.

"Who are your parents? What's your favourite colour? Favourite food? Favourite person? Favourite activity to do?"

1 Evangeline and Jeremiah
2 Emerald green
3 Paella
4 You after Rose
5 Kiss you

I feigned hurt and started crying.

He suddenly came over and started running hand through my hair then picked me up and set me on his lap.

"Love, I'm sorry please forgive me! Tell me what's wrong?" He said frantically, searching for the problem.

I couldn't help it I swear, so I quietly started laughing at him.

"Lizzie love, if you keep doing this to me I don't know what will happen!" He said burying his head in my neck nuzzling it with his nose gently over my mark making me shiver with the sparks radiating off of it and the butterflies wrecking havoc in my stomach.

"I didn't mean it ok, you are the love of my life and if I have to I will get on my knees and beg which will be hard for Ryder's ego." He said.

"I forgive you Xander, but be careful because next time you will be sleeping on the couch." I said as sternly as I could. 

After my somewhat ruined breakfast Xander took me upstairs bridal style up to our room. I love saying our room it sends shivers down my spine.

"Love, I have alpha work to catch up on do you mind staying here or with the girls."

"Xander where are my shoes, I left something special in them it breaks my heart not to see them!"

"They are in my shoe rack love, as you don't seem to have any clothes and go around in my shirts and tracksuits all day, which I don't mind because it shows the unmated wolves what's mine." He said huskily his stormy grey eyes now black with lust.

"Go get work done, I will be fine."

After an hour I headed downstairs and chatted with Megan for a bit. It had been ages since we had last talked all in all about three months. Time here seems to pass real quick.

We watched a few Netflix reruns of pretty little liars, it was getting to a good bit, season four I think it was. When Megan mentioned something I desperately wanted to do ever since we had been here.

"We need to go shopping today and have a spa day!" She yelled in excitement. Us girls love our spa days.

With that I skipped upstairs to what I thought was Xander's office and knocked.

"Liz love, come in." He said in his sexy God voice which got myself and Sapphire, excited.

"Can we go shopping in a local mall." I said bluntly wanting to get to the point straight away to have maximum shopping hours. Because here in California if that's where we were, shops close at seven and it was half ten now.

"No."

"Please!"

"No."

"Yes!"

"Fine, but you are taking ten warriors with you and that's final." He said his facial feature set hard meaning he wasn't going to be changing his mind anytime soon.

"Fine, actually where are we?"

"We are in Nevada, sweetheart."

"I will see you soon Xander, enjoy pack work!"

He growled playfully.

I walked down and it looks like Megan and Ash's mate agreed to let us go. I was so happy!

With that we piled into the first available car and we saw Megan sitting in the passenger seat.

I hopped in the drivers side. Me being the only one of able to legally drive. I changed from my ugg boots into converses. Then a pair of clothes I found spare in the room, that was left by a pack member. 

"Let the shopping trip marathon begin!" I cheered.

'All of the guards are following you girls, because you are all the high ranking females, you have extra guards for each of you. Enjoy your trip my love.'

I glanced in the rear view mirror and groaned, behind us were five SUVs filled I must say with very attractive men, well that is what I would say if I weren't mated (but they were hot!).
