Chapter Twenty Three

Dalton's POV

We were currently standing on either sides of the single king size bed.

Kyler and I were barely mates.

And now we progressed onto the 'sharing of room' stage. Well that escalated quickly.

Luckily, my wolf was at peace with Kyler's wolf. Although we didn't talk much there was this air of mutual understanding that we shared.

It just felt right.

A knock followed by an awkward cough came from outside the door, "Hey you guys... sorry the other guest room is packed with old junk of ours and it would just be too much of a hassle to move all that elsewhere... I'll get you guys an extra large pillow if you want... to you know, put some space between y'all."

That was followed by an even more awkward silence when I decided to speak up and thank Vin kindly for this effort but we would be fine with sharing a room.

What better way to get to know your mate?

Kyler was at the edge of the bed, lost in thought. I could feel him upset because of not being able to be crowned an Alpha.

"So... what time are you gonna sleep?" I asked, breaking the silence.

Kyler looked over at me and shrugged, "Anytime, I suppose. I'll just get bathed and changed first then."

With that, he got off the bed and moved to get some clothes that Roman had provided us with.

It was around 9 at night and I was exhausted. All I wanted to do was curl into a ball and sleep for the next eleventy-seven hours of my life.

I dozed off for a while and woke up to the sight of Kyler's half naked body, fresh out of the shower, hair and all dripping wet. Well not all I suppose. From where I was lying I had the full view of his bottom half and it woke a certain part of my male anatomy up.

"This is weird!" I whimpered at my wolf whose lust was growing and growing by the minute.

"Oh shut up, it's completely normal to be sexually attracted to your mate," my wolf argued and I decided that it would be best to block off my thoughts and play dead until Kyler got dressed and ready for bed.

"Dalton?"

A gentle nudge on my shoulder and I pretended to have just awoken from my catnap, kind of saddened to see that Kyler had put his clothes on.

"Stop it wolf!" I warned him and could feel his defiance.

This was the problem my wolf and I shared. He was direct in what he wanted and when he wanted it, ready to grope and have some fun while I, as a person, respected other people's privacy and choose to remain a distance away when it came to those kind of things.

There had been some instances where my wolf had just taken over for a second or two, just to embrace Kyler from the back while I fought to get my control back.

I sat up slowly, feeling my bones crack and got up, grabbing a pair of thick sweatpants and boxer shorts.

Just in case something funny happened at night while I was asleep in the same bed as my sexy mate and lustful wolf.

Some unwanted hanky panky.

Shooting one last glance at Kyler relaxing on the bed, I padded into the bathroom and washed up.

Ten minutes later, I emerged from the bathroom, starling Kyler as he lay on his stomach, typing away on Roman's laptop that he had borrowed.

"Did you bathe at all?" he grumbled and I shrugged again, smirking as he added under his breath, "Men."

"If I'm a man what are you?" I grinned as lay down next to him and felt my wolf unconsciously want raise a leg to put over Kyler like he was a bolster to hug.

Luckily I fought the wolf down before he made things even more awkward between us two.

"Shut up!" Kyler grumbled, swatting at me and I laughed.

My mate was actually pretty adorable.

"Go to sleep, mate. It's been a tiring day and we're gonna need to start your Alpha training soon," I tapped him on the back as he worked to turn of the laptop and flip around, such the he was facing the ceiling.

"Oh really? What Alpha training and when did this happen? And did I consent to it?" he questioned, resting his head on his hand as he turned to face me with a brow raised.

I smirked, "Just now, in the shower. I realized that you needed some serious Alpha coaching lessons to take on the Grand Wolf Ass Council and as your mate and a former Alpha, I recommend you do it."

I winced at the 'former Alpha' internally. It never made it less painful and heart-aching to think about my traitor of a pack. I had brought them to the top of their game, only to get kicked when I just couldn't find a mate and when I came out to them.

This also led to me rejecting a well-liked female in Jagged Peaks, who was a replacement mate, meaning that she was never destined to have a true mate, only an artificial one.

It gets pretty complicated too but long story short, she tried to appeal to me but I just couldn't find the spark that kindled the fire between two mates with her. Maybe because she was a female and I was gay.

Most probably.

I never thought that my pack would take the small incident this far. Sure she cried for days after being rejected but I just couldn't bring myself to mate with her.

Then came the betrayal and the continuous stray wolf for a while before finally finding the a Silver Range Pack, and lastly my mate.

It made my heart swell to think that I had finally found a mate so perfect that it made me just want to implode then explode and then dissipate into a part of the atmosphere.

I looked over to my right at Kyler who had fallen asleep already.

His mouth was patted slightly and his chest rose and fell gently. I resisted the urge to touch the part of his abs revealed by his shirt being lifted a little.

I smiled at him, in a completely non-creepo manner, and reached over to turn off the nightlight, not before pulling the duvet over him and myself.

A goodnight's sleep, here I come.
