Winning Her

WH 4

He looked at his pack and without a word they all headed home, he stayed seated at the end of the stairs.  Wolves have terrific hearing, so it wasn’t a surprise he could hear everything mother and John were saying. “That’s a really bad cut….I need some alcohol just to be on the safe side.”  Salim heard foot steps heading from the kitchen back towards the room. “Here.” My mothers voice. “You gunna tell that Alpha?” Asked John, as he poured the alcohol on my wound making me scream. Salim whined to himself, his attachment towards me was somehow interfering with his judgment.

    Most Alphas fine a mate as soon as possible, reason being it makes them more powerful. It also gives them someone to confide in when the shit is hitting the fan. Salim wasn’t just any Alpha, and he wasn’t just going to pick just any old mate. He had dated on and off trying to find a good mate for both him and his wolf, but nothing stuck. Most were to prissy or were into money and things that just didn’t really mean anything. Being that most if not all female werewolves were spoiled rotten didn’t help the matter.

    What he saw today in Edon was very much different, she fought and even did it while severally hurt. Most females will fight, but its not for something like this and if they get hurt they more than likely throw the towel in. John pored more on my leg, and I screamed even louder than the first time. “I need you to hold her down. Put your arm across her chest and your other hand needs to be on her stomach, cause she’s gunna launch forward.” He showed her what he wanted her to do, and when she gave him the okay look he poured the rest of the bottle on my wound and started putting a few stitches in. “AWWWWWWaAWaAWW” I screamed yelped and cried at the same time.  Salim’s wolf cried as he laid down.

    After a few minutes I passed out from the pain. About that time a wolf came running back towards the house with a plastic bag in his mouth. Placing it next to Salim’s feet, and then leaving him to change. Shifting into his human form took a little longer then it did for me. Standing just over 5’ 9” with short moose brown hair, and blue tan eyes, Salim was an Alpha no matter what form he took on.

    His pack had sent him a pair of black socks, black combat boots, blue carpenter jeans and a royal blue button down silk shirt. Bringing the whole outfit together was a black leather belt. Knocking on the door he waiting for momma to open and let him in. John was sitting in the living room which was open to the kitchen, while mom and Salim sat down at the Kitchen table. She started a pot of hot water and ask him weather he wanted tea or coffee. He replied “Coffee please” she pulled out two cups and then grabbed sugar and coffee creamer.

    Waiting for the water to boil she turned her attention to Salim. “I asked you to come here because I am under the assumption that you don’t live very far from us.” His breathing was steady and calm, but she wasn’t in the mood to be toyed with, she wanted short and to the point answers. “Yes ma’am”
The water whistled, taking it off the stove she poured the hot liquid over the coffee flakes and watched as the water turned black. Irish cream and sugar was placed on the table along with spoons.

    Salim made his coffee and held it in both hands on the table waiting for her to continue. She sat down across from him and took a sip. “Are you interested in my daughter?” Blunt and to the point, took Salim by surprise for about a second. “In what sense?” He paused taking another sip, “packs are always looking for more females.” she nodding realizing it was a silly question and should have been worded better. “What she ment was are you going to try to mate with her?” John on the other hand didn’t do delicate in anyway shape or form.

    Salim glared over at John who was leaning against the back wall before you walked into my room. “No…. Vampire. I am not going to mate with her, she’s not ready. Anyone can see that.” his tone was mild but with a bit of a bite, just because Jonathan didn’t give Salim any reason to kill him didn’t mean he had to be nice.  “Enough with your foolish pride, this isn’t about the two of you.” Mother snapped. “Edon is dear to me, I will kill anyone or thing that tried to hurt her, do I make myself clear?” she glared at the both of them, simultaneously they both nodded. “What did she say her name was to you?” Mother smiled at him, “Wolf, ma’ma” She laughed and left it at that. “The other wolf, the grey one. What’s his deal?” She asked looking at just Salim.
