I really hated this chapter.

LOL. 

Let me know what you think!

I looked over at my sleeping mate with a content sigh. The rise and fall of his chest was a soothing mantra that very nearly lulled me back to sleep, but I was the alpha so sleeping in definitely was not an option.

I got up slowly, making sure not to wake my mate. He had become much more comfortable around other civil wolves during the two weeks he had spent with us and made quick friends with Tim and Sol, Finn's mate.

That led the two pregnant wolves to become friends which allowed them to continuously gush about their pregnancies, in turn causing my mate, albeit hesitantly, to ask me if I wanted pups, leading me to be laying on our bed wide-eyed and a bit tense.

"Of course, I want pups baby," I said leaning over to turn off the lamp. I pulled him over into my arms and let him bury his head into my chest, inhaling the scent of his hair deeply to calm my nerves.

"Then why haven't mated?" he asked with a frown, "Everyone else always wants to be touching their mate but not you. You don't want to touch me at all."

I groaned, turning over onto my back."I want you Caleb," I said firmly but he did not seem convinced at all.

"I just thought civils take longer than wildlings to mark their mates. But it's been two weeks," he said softly.

"I know puppy... just be patient okay? Everything going on with Malichai has been messing with my head."

His sigh physically pained me.

I had never heard him make a sound like that before and it made me feel so much more incompetent as a mate.

"I'm sorry," He whispered. I forced him to look at me as tears gathered in his eyes.

"It's has nothing to do with you Caleb. I just don't think now is the right time. I promise it's not that I don't want you," I said with a small reassuring smile.

"Okay," he murmured laying back down on my chest.

"Hey, I can take you to go see Tim tomorrow and then you can help him set up the baby's room okay.?Then we can talk about it tomorrow night when I have time."

I sat up, sitting him down on his side of the bed.

"Where are you going?" he asked in rubbing his eye with a slight pout.

"I took two weeks off with you babe. I have to resume my responsibilities as alpha."

He mumbled something I didn't catch and laid back down. I sighed before leaving the room to prepare myself for the day.

I was sitting in my office going through pack and business finances and also worrying about when Malichai would strike, now that his followers had been thrown out the pack.

I was re-reading a contract when my gamma walked in.

"Guess who finished their paperwork for today," he said flopping down on my couch.

"Not me for sure."

"Sucks to be you man," he said relaxing on the couch "I'm glad you stayed late because Tres is at her mom's and I don't wanna be at home alone-"

"What do you mean 'stayed late'?" I say standing before watching the time.

"It's nine dude," he said as I rushed to pack my things.
