William POV.

After the ride home I showed Dess to our room. I suddenly realized "What if she doesn't want to share rooms ?" "What if it makes her scared?" Crap why didn't I think of this before ??! ¨Just ask her if she's okay with it you big baby! Mate would say its fine and we can stay!¨ Travis said. This gave me hope, I gulped swallowing my nerves down. "This is our room. I hope you don't mind us sharing a room?" She gave me a nod and Travis let out a sigh of relief and so did I, mentally. She walked over to our bed and stood at the end and looked at me as if asked permission to get on our own bed. "It's your room too you can do whatever you want." She nodded and got on the bed she laid down slowly as if lying down on a bed for the first time in months. The sat back up kicked her shoes off and unclasped her bra sliding it from under her shirt, I immediately turned around. Travis was fighting for control so he could mark Dess, I knew she wasn't ready so I fought to keep control. 'Travis calm down! She isn't ready! You'll just hurt her!' This seemed to calm him down. I turned back and looked at Dess she was asleep. She looked so peaceful. I quietly moved to the door and opened it slowly, trying not to wake her up.

I slipped out into the hall and headed downstairs into the kitchen to start making brunch seeing as we didn't have breakfast and it was 13:19. I made 2 toasties with ham and cheese. I then cut up some carrots and put a few grapes and put it all on a plate. After burning at least 6 toasties and a few cuts on my fingers brunch was done around 14:00. I poured us 2 glasses of water. And then walked upstairs with Brunch, half way up I forgot the vitamins on the counter. 'Idiot.' Travis said and I couldn't help but chuckle so I went back down, got the vitamins and went back up again. ¨Damn this place needs an elevator!¨ Travis huffed. "You weren't even walking!" I yelled at him. He just shrugged and I knocked on the door, no answer. I slowly and quietly opened the door. She was still sound asleep.

I put the tray down on the bedside table and walked over to Dess, I sat down at the edge of the bed in front of her and tucked a strand of hair behind her ears and whispered. "Time to wake up beautiful." Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at me for a few seconds she seemed scared but then she recognized me, the worry left her eyes and she smiled weakly. Her stomach growled and a blush spread over her cheeks. "You hungry?" I asked smiling at her cuteness. "I-I'm fine." She said while nuzzling into my hand which was still on her cheek from tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. I stood up and got the tray of food and went over to my side of the bed. She sat up and pulled the cover over her lap. I took a seat beside her and scooted under the cover. I crossed my legs and put the tray down in front of me and handed her a vitamin and the glass of water. She looked at me than the pill she sighed and swallowed the vitamin. I then handed her her plate with her toasty, chopped carrots and some grapes. She looked at the plate then gulped she took the toasty with a shaking hand and took a bite. I couldn't help but smile. After she finished a quarter of the toasty she ate two slices of carrots and 3 grapes. After that, she put the plate down in front of her and took one last sip of water then told me she was full. I didn't even think her body ate enough but if her stomach told me she's had enough when she's had enough. I wasn't gonna force feed her.

After she finished I quickly finished my plate. Once I was done she asked. "What time is it?" I looked at my watch and it was already 17:00 " 5 pm" I answered. Wow, time flies when you're with your mate.

After talking for a bit Jackson knocked on the door. Jackson was my Beta and best friend, I've known him since I was five. Dess scooted closer to me. "Shhhh, Jack won't hurt you he's my Beta and best friend." She looked up at me and gave a nod. "Come in!" I said. The door opens and Jack walked in. "Will sorry to bother you but your mom's been yelling at me all day trying to figure out where you are, I kinda let it slip that you found your mate....." I looked up at him mad but then he suddenly noticed Dess next to me he was about to say something when his eyes opened wide in shock and he looked at me immediately turning around facing away from us, I didn't understand what was going on till I looked at Dess eying her up and down and my eyes landed on her chest, I let out a low growl and took the duvet cover and pulled it up over her chest. She looked at me confused. She opens the covers and looks down, her face expression the same as Jack's eyes wide open with shock she started blushing and pulled the cover over her head. Her white flowy top was a little bit see-through and she didn't have a bra on...........

I couldn't help but chuckle at my mate's cuteness when she pulled the covers over her head.

"Am I allowed to turn around?" Jack asked nervously. I let out another growl but yelped at something under the covers reached out and pinched my arm. I rolled my eyes and grumbled a yes.

He turned around to see a lump under the covers next to me. I felt another pinch. "What the hell Dess?" I asked she pointed her finger at me, remember her whole body still under the covers, and said. "Apologise for growling." She said with a firm tone "But" I started. Next, to me, a cute head with messy hair popped out from under the covers. "But nothing there was no need to growl it wasn't his fault it was mine." "I know but " I tried again but received a slap on the back of my head. I looked at Dess shocked she still had a mad expression. I looked at Jack and his face was red trying to keep his laugh in. I gave him an 'I hate you look' and mumbled. "Sorry for growling at you." I looked over at Dess she looked happy and retreated back under the covers. Jack and I looked at the lump under the covers as it proceeded to turn around and wiggle its way to my end where the door was. A hand suddenly popped out and gestured for Jack to come closer, he looked at me for permission I looked at him and mind linked "Yeah sure I wanna see how this plays out, pretty sure I have a good idea."

He looked at me then moved closer to the hand, the hand gestured for Jack to come closer. Once Jack was closer the hand waved around as if trying to find something. Once it landed on Jack's arm it patted around looking for a spot, once it stopped it pinched Jack. Jack let out a yelp of surprise and started rubbing the pinched area. I couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing and just like that the hand went back under the covers and pinched my toe. I stopped laughing the hand then popped back out at Jack's side and moved up and down as if talking "Now Jackson a-accept Wills a-apology." The hand said. Jack looked over at me and I pouted my lip dramatically he sighed and said. "I accept your apology." The hand seemed satisfied then it retreated. The lump wiggled back to Dess's side and pulled the duvet right off me. Dess emerged from the duvet then pulled it over her head like a ghost. She felt around making her way to the closet, she pulled out a set of clothes then made her way over to the bathroom swinging her hands around trying not to walk into anything once the ghost was at the door it turned the nob and in goes the ghost, seconds later Dess's head popped out a crook of the open bathroom door she throws me the duvet and says "Now, I forgive you all. See you downstairs." With that, she closes the door and locked it.

A few seconds later the shower's water started running. Jack looked at me I looked at Jack and we both burst out laughing. I looked up at him as he clutched his stomach and something suddenly clicked.

"She trusts you." I said. "Why do you think that?" Jack asks me lifting a brow. "Because she didn't stutter while talking to us just now, usually when we're alone she doesn't but with someone else, she always stutters." I said with a smile. It filled my heart to see my mate trusting my best friend. "I'm happy to hear that." He answered with a smile. After that, I put the duvet back on the bed and we both headed downstairs to give Dess some privacy for when she's out of the shower.

Once we got downstairs my mom burst into the kitchen. "William Micheal Adrian Black!" Once I heard my full name I knew I was in deep shit.
