The Protector

Chapter 7

Standing next to Jet, in front of my parents, I felt nervous. I remembered that the last time I had felt nervous was when I healed a wolf who was practically sitting at death's door. That was the first time I had ever had doubts about my powers. But now, standing in front of my parents, readying myself to tell them that their pup had found their mate, I wanted to be back in my old room, facing the dying wolf.

"Kiara, Jet, is everything okay?" My mum asked from the sofa my parents were sat on.

"Yes, mum. Everything is fine." I chuckled at her nervous face.

"Put us out of our misery then." My dad told us.

"Well.... Jet and I...... We are mates." I said watching for some kind of reaction.

My mum and dad just sat there for a while. I looked to Jet and then back to my parents. We couldn't tell whether that was a good sign or a bad sign. Suddenly, my mum pounced on us and held the both of us in a very tight hug. Squished against Jet and my mother, I sighed as I heard my dad chuckle.

"You gonna help or not, dad?" I sent a pleading look towards him.

Placing his hands on mum's shoulders, she was gently pulled off us. "Come on, don't suffocate them,Leah."

After my parents finally let the two of us go, Jet and I went into my room. I jumped onto the bed and Jet sat next to me as I turned the radio on. For a while, we just sat there listening to the magic of Kaiser Chiefs before Jet suddenly jumped up.

" RUBY RUBY RUBY RUBY AHAHAHAHAHAH!"

I dragged him back down laughing. "Leave the singing to the professionals will you."

"Don't you like my singing?" Jet pouted.

"I like a lot of things about you but your singing isn't one." I laughed kissing his cheek.

Before he could reply, my father popped his head round the door, giving us a drink and some food. I lived for food and I could happily say that food was my best friend so I grabbed the food and instantly started eating. Jet just chuckled as he watched me and took a sip of his drink before grabbing a biscuit from me.

"If you weren't my mate, you would be dead right now." I glared at him.

"Oh I'm so scared." He laughed.

"So you should be, Alpha!"

For a while, we were quiet, before we both just burst out laughing. I placed the food down and crawled onto Jet's lap. He slowly combed my hair with his fingers.

"I could get used to this." He said as he rested his head on top of mine.

I snaked my arms around his waist and then started tickling him. Jet was still just as ticklish as he was when we were seven. I straddled his waist as I tickled him and was laughing my head off. Just as I stopped tickling Jet, my dad came into my room once again.

"Oh.... Um..... I'll leave you two to it." My dad stammered before leaving my room.

I rolled over, off of Jet and onto my bed, laughing my head off. Next to me, my mate was also in hysterics.

"I think we just scarred your dad."

"I should probably go talk to him." I laughed, turning over to look at Jet as he turned over and looked at me.

"Yeah, you probably should." He laughed.

"I'll go do that." I said, sitting up but I was pulled back down.

"I said probably, not that you should." Jet laughed. He kissed my forehead before letting me go.

I walked out of my room to see my mum and dad whispering. Standing in the doorway, I kept smirking as they whispered, obviously about Jet and I, oblivious to the fact that I was in the room. Coughing, I drew my parents to the fact that I was there.

"Oh, hello sweetheart. Is everything okay?" My mum asked, smiling innocently.

"No everything's not okay. Next time you come into my room without knocking don't take things out of context please. I was tickling Jet. That was all. So make sure your facts are right and then afterwards don't come out here and gossip with mum. I love mum, I really do, but I am not sorry for saying she has a big mouth. I know I haven't been here for years but I know if she had gossip, she would spread it round before a wolf could howl. So have fun guys out here and I am sorry for interrupting whatever was happening here."

Leaving the room, I saw Jet smirking at me, knowing he heard everything, especially with his Alpha hearing. I stood at the door for a while as Jet stared at me.

"See something you like?" This time it was my turn to smirk.

"Only my amazing and beautiful mate."

Smiling, I went over to him and cuddled with my mate. All was well.
