My Alpha Mate

Chapter 33

Chapter 33

Sam

It's been three days since the kidnapping and me being thrown out the window by my own "brother." Ever since I've been released from the hospital, Xander has been acting even more protective.

If anyone would look at me for too long with a look that Xander doesn't approve, he would growl or snap at the person. It scared a lot of his pack members, causing them to be more distant from us.

Right now, I'm in the living room watching a random show with Scott and Adriana doing their own things. Scott taking a nap and Adriana using her phone. Suddenly, Adriana's head snapped up and she looked at Scott's body laying on the couch with a devilish smile on her face.

She got up from the recliner and went upstairs, and came back in less than a minute with markers and a camera in her hands.

"Uh, Adriana what are you doi—" I was cut off by her giving me a glare and putting her finger to her lips as if saying "shut up."

I put my hands in a surrender position and just watched her draw all over Scott's sleeping form. How is he not awake by this? Maybe he's a heavy sleeper.

Adriana grabbed the camera and took a couple of photos of Scott. I just shook my head at her and let out a sigh. She turned to me and counted one to three before rolling Scott out of the couch making him wake up with a loud groan.

"Ugh! What the hell? Who did that?" Scott asked in a confused voice while looking around for the culprit.

He looked at me and I shook my head at him. He closed his eyes and cursed before sitting back down on the couch.

I looked at Scott's face and tried to hide my laughter. There are big black circles around his eyes, lines across his face giving him cat whiskers, a small black triangle on his nose, and other lines on his face. I tried to quiet down the chuckles that were escaping me with a cough, but it clearly didn't work when Scott turned to me and gave me a questioning look.

I shook my head at him and gave him a smile. I looked around the room for Adriana but she was nowhere to be found.

"I'm going upstairs to rest for a bit. I'm feeling a bit tired. See you later, Scott." I told him before getting up from the rocking chair beside the couch and heading upstairs to mine and Xander's bedroom.

I entered the room and shut it closed behind me. I took off my clothes and went into the closet to change into some comfortable clothes before heading over to the bed and laying down on it. I sighed in relief when I felt my muscles starting to relax before I felt my consciousness fading away and being replaced by sweet lumber.

I woke up to someone stroking my face with gentle fingers. I opened my eyes and saw Xander smiling down at me. I gave him a sleepy smile in return before burying my face into the pillows in an attempt to go back to sleep.

"Hey," I heard his voice whisper in my ear, making me shiver slightly and my wolf to purr in my head. I heard him chuckle before I felt his head on my back.

"I didn't want to wake you love, but I had to because you didn't eat dinner. Get up and get dressed. I'm taking you out." He said before kissing my shoulder and leaving the room.

I laid there on the bed for a while with a smile on my face. I was feeling happy today that the thought of my own "brother" throwing me out of a car window could not even dampen my mood. I got up from bed and went into the closet to choose some clothes to wear.

Once I was all dressed and ready to go, I headed downstairs to find Xander waiting by the stairs with a thoughtful look on his face. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him. His attention immediately shifted to me before wrapping me up in his embrace.

"Let's go?" Xander asked before leaning down and giving me a peck on the lips. I smiled at him and held his hand before making our way out of the house.

We got in the car and Xander drove us to the city. Bright lights were surrounding the city with people walking around with their friends and families. I smiled at the sight.

I would love to have a family with Xander someday, but not until all of the mess with my brothers and old pack are fixed permanently. I wouldn't want to put my family in danger just because my old pack thought that I killed one of their most beloved members in the pack, who were also my parents.

I felt a hand caressing my palm. I looked at Xander who was looking at the road, but his hand was holding mine.

"What are you thinking about?" Xander asked in a curious tone without taking his eyes off the road.

I smiled.

"Oh, nothing. Don't worry about it." I told him while squeezing his hand in a reassuring manner. He didn't say anything, but I can tell that he still wants to know what was going on in my head.

We spent the rest of the night enjoying ourselves in the city. We ate dinner, walked around, and explored the city. I had a great time tonight, especially because I'm spending the night with the love of my life.
