Mated To Alpha Claud

Chapter 4

Prim
"I can make you scared though."

"How's that Dixon?"

He leaned eye level with me and kissed me. I rapped my arms around him. He pushed himself closer to me and smiled against my lips. He thought he was winning. I really didn't want to show him I was stronger but he asked for it. I slid my hands down to his chest and pushed. Barely, that was about 25% of my strength. He fell to the ground.

"Yes I'm stronger. Happy?"

I walked to the bathroom and shut the door. I hated my heightened senses. I sat against the locked door. If I didn't ask to go on that trip with Derek and Theo I could have saved my parents. My senses could have saved my parents, but no.

A knock on the door made train of thought end.

"Prim, I'm sorry. I realize now you hate using them. Please come out. At least talk to me. I hate when you stop talking."

I opened the door and Dixon looked so sad. I really wanted to talk to him,but I just couldn't.

"Prim. Please."

I trust him.

"I hate using my ability on people I love. I don't like showing it off when I much rather act normal. I hate that I couldn't save my parents. I hate that I'm scared all the time and can't open up.  I hate that I second guess everything when it could be life or death.  But most of all I can't take no for and answer when it could save everyone around me."

I was in tears. I felt like my world was crashing down. Dixon was holding me as I cried and he picked me up. He laid me next to him on the bed and held me.

I finally calmed down and he sat me on top of him.

"Will you explain why for all of your fears."

I nodded as he wiped away a tear.

"The first and second one are explanatory for itself. Why couldn't you save your parents? Didn't they pass a long time ago?"

"No, the night we found out we were mates they died. When Theo and I ran back home I smelt blood. When I ran in the were in shreds with Hunter carvings in there heads. I could have saved my parents if I had stayed home. My dad told me not to go with my brother and Theo. I snuck off with them though. I wanted to help, because I love the woods."

"That covers that, but you said you are scared all the time."

"I feel like someone is going to hurt me everywhere I go. I've been like that since I found out about my ability."

"No one will ever touch you but me Prim, trust me."

"I don't want to talk anymore."

"Okay then go to sleep for a little bit then we can tour the pack grounds when you wake up. I won't leave your side and that's a promise."

I laid down on his chest and started to wonder. I looked up at him.

"Did I hurt you Dixon?"

"No lil mate."

"Take your shirt off."

I got off of him and waited. He looked confused.

"I want to see if I left bruises on you, take your shirt off."

"No lil mate. I know you didn't hurt me."

"Dixon. Stop. Take it off."

He stood and took his shirt off. I stood and put my hand on his chest. The bruises matched my hands. He looked down and saw them. I fell back on the bed. I was mortified that I hurt my mate.

"I'm so sorry Dixon. I-I am so so so sorry."

I put my head in my hands and started to cry. My hands were removed and replaced with lips on mine. He pushed me back and I was so afraid to hurt him. I didn't touch him until I felt hand move mine to his chest. The exact spot as the bruises. I tried to move them away but one of his hands held them there. A tear left my eye. He pulled away. The hand that held my hands to his chest moved to wipe the tear away. I kept my hands on his chest and looked at him. He was smiling down at me. Why is he so forgiving?

Dixon
I moved her hands to my chest so she could realized that it was okay. I kept one hand propping me up while the other one was holding her hands on my chest. I pulled away and moved my hand to wipe a tear away. I knew she felt bad. Hell I could see it on her face.

"It is okay lil mate. Please don't shy away from me when I asked for it."

"It's not okay. I hurt you. You have...."

She looked at my chest. The bruises were gone. I smiled and she let out a breath.

"See. I'm fine, they are healed. Don't ever shy away, ever."

She nodded and I pulled her back on to my chest. I knew she was asleep when her breathing steadied. I let myself sleep to so when we took a tour of the grounds I would be fully rested to.

I woke up to my mate lightly snoring. She was on my chest with her legs intertwined with mine. I know she is warming up to me, I just hope she doesn't feel forced.

My train of thought was gone when my mate shifted. Her arms moved from on my chest to around my waist loosely. I started to play with her hair and she purred. I chuckled because after she purred she leaned closer to me. Her beautiful eyes opened and she looked up at me.

"Hi lil mate."

She smiled and kept staring at me.

"You okay?"

She nodded and tried to get up. I wasn't letting her up. Not happening. She looked at me.

"Let's go look around."

"In a little bit. Just relax for awhile."

She rolled her eyes and tried to get up again. I put her on her back so I was above her. She sighed and I kissed her forehead.

"Can we please get up? I want to see our pack grounds."

I sighed and got off of her. She stood and walked to the door.

"You coming."

She stood and walked over to me. It's gonna be a long day.
