My Alpha Mate

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

Sam

After about ten minutes of running, Xander and I finally reached his house. Xander shifted back to his human form and opened the door to the house, going inside and leaving the door open for me. I went inside and closed the door behind me before shifting back to my human form. I saw Xander run up the stairs, to get something to wear I assume, leaving me alone in the living room. I found a guest room and went inside and started looking for some clothes. I found a large shirt that reached up to my knees, I slipped it on before going out of the bedroom to try and find Xander.

I found 'our' bedroom and knocked on the door before opening it and peeking inside. I saw Xander sitting on the bed and staring into space. I entered before closing the door of the bedroom behind me and going to his side.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

He looked up after hearing my voice before pulling me into a bone-crushing hug. I instantly melted in his arms, loving the tingles and spark that the touch of my mate gives me.

Xander pushed his face into the crook of my neck, smelling my scent before nuzzling his nose to the side of my neck. He growled lowly before licking my neck making me give out a small moan. He licked a spot on my neck that made me shiver before freezing on my spot. No, he can't mark me, that will make it harder for me to leave him if he marks me. I pushed his head away making him look at me in confusion.

"I-I'm not ready to be marked yet," I said in a small voice.

He looked at me for a few more seconds, making me squirm, before nodding saying that he understands. I let out a sigh of relief before sitting beside him taking his hand and playing with his fingers.

"Are you okay?" I asked him again.

He sighed before gripping my hand gently and giving me a smile.

"I'm fine, I was just worried. What if those rogues hurt you? What if they kidnapped you? I would go ape sh*t crazy if they take you away from me," Xander exclaims before pulling me into his arms once again.

"It's okay, I'm here. I'm not going anywhere" I lied through clenched teeth.

He pulls away from our hug and looks at me in the eye before shaking his head and putting me on his lap. I hid my face in his chest and listened to the steady beating of his heart. I sighed feeling warmth and comfort from my mate. I didn't notice that I was falling asleep until I heard Xander say

"Sleep my little mate," and that was the last thing I heard before falling into dreamland.

*-*-*-*

I woke up feeling something warm on my back. I turned around and came face to face with Xander's chest. I blushed before looking at the clock on the bedside table, it was two in the morning and everyone is probably asleep except for the night guards guarding the perimeter of the pack.

I slowly sat up, making sure not to wake up Xander and got out of bed. I went into the closet and got out a t-shirt and a pair of jeans before putting them into a bag. I looked over to the bed to make sure that Xander is still sleeping before leaving the room and making my way to the kitchen, taking the bag with me.

This is the perfect chance for me to leave Xander's territory before my old pack comes looking for me. I don't want to leave Xander but if it meant keeping everyone safe, then I'll do it.

I packed a few sandwiches and a couple of bottle of waters before getting out of the house. I closed the door slowly, making sure that it doesn't make a sound before going into the forest. I put the bag on my back before stripping down to my underwear, putting my clothes in my bag, and shifting into my gray wolf. I ran as fast as I could to make sure that no one catches up to me.

'Xander, I'm so sorry that I left you, but I had to do this for you and your pack's safety.' I thought.

I ran for an hour and a half before I finally reached the end of Xander's territory, I crossed the perimeter of the pack and continued running as fast as I can.

*-*-*-*

I felt so tired, it feels as if I'm about to collapse. I leaned against a tree before shifting back to my human form. I grabbed a shirt and a pair of jeans before getting out a water bottle. I opened it and drank greedily, feeling the water quench my thirst. I got out a sandwich before eating it slowly, trying to get my energy back.

I put my trash in my backpack and rested my head against the tree, letting out a sigh of relief. I continued resting, not noticing that I was falling into a deep sleep.
