Tough to Crack

Chapter 5

*Axle's POV*

After settling the dispute with the rogues I ran straight to the pack house. I made it there in record time, going behind a tree I shifted back to my human self and put on the jeans I had tied around my ankle. I ran to the house and walked in side and up to my room.

' Have to see mate!' Derrick exclaimed.

' I know I want to see her, too, buddy,' I said trying to calm him down.

Once at my door I stopped and listened before opening it. Hearing calm breathing on the other side I opened the door slowly. When I had it opened I looked in to see my mate curled up asleep on m–our bed.

' Mate's cute when she is asleep,' Derrick said.

' She looks peaceful, too,' I added.

' Can't believe we found mate,' Derrick said jumping up and down in my head.

Tuning him out I walked over to the bathroom and took a quick shower and changed I to a pair of boxers and pajama pants. When I came out my little mate was still asleep, so I walked over and laid down beside her. Wrapping my arm around her waist, I pulled her closer to me. She moved a bit, and snuggled up to me.

Smiling I put face in the crook of her neck inhaling her heavenly scent and fell asleep.

*About three hours later*

I woke up to Lisa moving in my arms. I smiled and tightened my grip around her waist a little, not enough to hurt her.

"Axle, you are going to have to let me go," Lisa said struggling to get out of my hold.

"Why should I, sweetheart?" I asked still holding her.

"Because if you don't I will end up peeing right here. And I'm sure you don't want that," Lisa replied calmly.

Hearing the serious tone in her voice I let her go. I watched as she ran to the bathroom. Sighing, I look over at the clock it is five o'clock. I get up and walk over to my walk in closet. Grabbing a blue button up shirt and blue jeans.

As I was coming out of the closet Lisa was coming out of the bathroom. She looked at me then looked away.

"You can look at me Lisa. I'm not going to bite you," I said.

She looked at me with a worried look on her face. After a little silence I opened my mouth to tell her she was welcome here, but was cut off by her stomach growling. I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Sorry, I haven't eaten in..." she paused, looked at the clock and said," Ten or so hours."

I chuckled and said," You don't have to apologize for that, sweetheart. Wait here I'll go get you something to wear. Then we can get something to eat."

She nodded and I opened my door to leave. I walk out of our room and head toward my sister's. I walked down stairs and bump into her at the bottom.

"Hey, sis, can my mate borrow some clothes until she can go shopping?" I asked.

"Sure. You know I have plenty of clothes so I can share. Plus, I really want to see her. You also know Mom will want to see her," Katie said excitedly.

"Well, you'll see her I a minute, in the dining room. If Mom if not there then she will have to wait if she not there," I told her.

With that Katie went to her room and came back out with a pair of blue jeans and a light pink t-shirt.

"Thanks, sis," I said, I gave her a quick kiss on the top of her head, and head back to my Lisa.

I opened the door slowly and I found her looking out the bedroom window. She had taken her wavey, red hair down it fell all the way down to her waist and looked silky smooth. I closed the door and she turned to look at me.
