The Warrior (continuing from optimistic_dreamer)

Acception

After entering the mansion again I focused my whole attention on finding my beautiful mate.

First I followed her sent to what seemed to be her sister's  room.

I imagined that my kind mate went to see her sister Sara after the meeting in her father's study. Sara is supposed to leave soon with her mate Alpha McLarence, giving the two sisters, who seemed to have a close relationship, little time to talk about the happenings and to say goodbye to each other.

After standing in front of Sara's door like a goof and hearing giggling from inside I continued to follow my mate's magnificent scent. I wasn't sure if Sara laughed about me or about the things her mate did to her. Shaking my head, because I absolutely did not want to imagine the second option I found myself in front of  Olivia's room.

I was not sure how our sleeping arrangements would be, but I dared to hope that I would sleep together with my mate. I did not care where that would be, as long as she was with me.

Her amazing vanilla-cinnamon scent almost streamed from underneath the door. I inhaled deeply and my wolf growled in anticipation of seeing ours again.

After contemplating for what seemed forever wether to knock or to just enter the room I heard a disturbing loud noise from inside my mate's room.
I hastily abandoned my thoughts and stormed into her room.

What I saw inside nearly made me come on the spot.

Olivia was standing in front of her closet with just a towel wrapped around her driping godess body. As I stormed inside her emerald green eyes went wide, but after mere seconds she lowered her eyes to the ground and a beautiful blush graced her cheeks.

My wolf was yelling at me to go to our mate and mark her.

Take what is ours!!

I was sure that my usual blue eyes must be pitch black, because of how aroused I was.
I growled frustrated, because I knew that I could not mark Olivia until we saw the council. If I was to mark her now, the council would not take us seriously and think it was not a true mating.

I inhaled deeply, which did actually not help at all, because my fucking beautiful mate was standing there in all her glory almost naked, and somewhere in my mind I remembered I still had to close the door, which I pushed shut immediately, because no one was ever allowed to see my mate like this.

Pure possessiveness took over and I made a step toward Olivia, who still kept her eyes trained on the floor.

"I'm sorry!", she whispered apologetically.

I stopped in my second step towards her confused and waited for her to continue.

"I know what this must look like, but I swear that it's not!", her eyes locked with mine and I swear that the world just stopped again.

She was so pure and just perfect. I wanted nothing more but to have her in my arms and show her how much I was already falling for her.

"I was taking a bath and I heard you coming up the stairs so I rushed outside and wanted to get dressed, but you were quicker than I thought.", her eyes were again on the floor, almost like she was ashamed that I saw her like this.

My wolf growled in my mind, because he thought that our mate found herself unattractive.

Before I could control myself I was in front of her, not touching anything, yet.

My fingers gently caressed her cheek and she automatically leaned into my touch.

My wolf whimpered at her open display of affection and I was also surprised by her willingness to let me touch her.

"Do you think I'm mad at you?", I asked her softly.

"Are you not?", she regarded me carefully.

"Why should I?", I asked her confused.

Olivia sighed and softly told me: "I didn't want to seduce you, I mean this is what it looks like, but I..."
She looked at me in pure shock and said quickly: "Not that I don't want you, it's just I'm not sure why all this is happening and I want to understand everything first so that I can be sure you and this mating bond is real and I get to keep you!"

I was in seventh heaven when she almost declared her love and need for me, but I could also understand her inhibitions to our mating bond.

I smiled at her reassuringly and said: "I can understand how you feel, because as much as I want to mark you right now, I want to make sure that this is really happening!"
and because now was just as good as any other time, I continued to tell her: "I want to take you to the council. My uncle is a council member and I want to ask them for advice. Believe me when I say that I'm not going to let you go ever again, but I also don't want to create a problem for you or your pack, because of us being mates."

Olivia smiled softly at me: "I think it would be good to visit the council. Instead of making this a secret and creating problems, it will show them that we really care about each other and that we accept each other as mates."

My wolf howled in satisfaction.

"Do you really accept me, a warrior as your mate?", I asked her incredulously.

"Of course I do!", she stated confidently and with a big smile on her red lips.

I could not control myself anymore so I just gave in to my urges and bowed my head.
She realized what I intended to do and met my lips halfway.

With a big smile on both our faces I kissed her gently, but soon all gentleness was gone and I kissed her passionately. I caught her lower lip between mine and deepened the kiss.

Her hands went into my hair and I growled when she tugged at the strands.

My other hand, which was not caressing her cheek , went to push her closer to me.

Just as our heated make out session was getting out of control, the towel that she was wearing was loosening, because her hands were not there to hold it up any longer.
It fell to the floor.
