I woke up early and looked over to my mate. I could feel a smile growing on my lips. Mate. That's what he was, MY mate. I had a mate and he didn't reject me, even though he had more than enough reason too.
After staring at him like a love struck fool, I decided to get up and make breakfast for him. He looked so tired, probably spent those two days worrying about me.
No. Why would he worry about me? Some lowlife mutt. He probably has something else going on. And as much as those thoughts hurt me, like stabbing needles into my heart, I know it's probably true...I can't go getting attached to someone whos just going to hurt me in the end.
With that thought in mind, I get up and leave the room trying to find the kitchen. Might as well be useful so I'm not such a burden to him.
It's been well over half an hour and I think it's safe to say I'm lost. I didn't realize how big this place was. I turn the corner and bump into a large chest, falling on my butt, I look up and see a very intimidating man glaring at me.
"Who are you." His voice shook me to my core, scaring the daylights out of me. I couldn't find the words to speak, I couldn't even stutter out a response, I was frozen on the spot.
He didn't seem pleased with this as he grabbed my arm lifting me up. I let out a squeal of pain as the bruising grip got tighter. He threw me against the wall, getting in my face.
I stutter out a quiet response "S-scar-let" He doesn't seem to be finished with me as he opens his mouth to speak.
"And what are you doing in the Pack House, Scarlet?" The way he said my name sent fear down my spine. I didn't know what to say so I squealed out Alpha, hoping he would just take me to him.
"Alphas asleep with his mate." He looks at me up and down, and just then I remember I'm only wearing Dominick's shirt. I don't remember changing into it, Dominick must have changed me so I'd be more comfortable. He goes to speak again looking confused when he's cut off by a deep growl.
"Get. Off. My. Mate." I hear my mate say, causing relief to wash over me. I look over to him, and he looks devilish, messy hair, no shirt, wearing only sweat pant hanging very low on his hips. I feel my arm being released and the man bows his head is submission to his Alpha.
"Come here, Scar" The nickname sent butterflies into my stomach as I walk over to him hesitantly. I curl into his side as he wraps his arms around me, still glaring at the scary man. "Did he hurt you?" He asks me, with a deep growl added in.
Not wanting to get anyone in trouble for a misunderstanding I shake my head no. The man suddenly speaks "Please my Alpha I didn't know she was your mate!" he pleas. "You laid your hands on your future Luna, and that is punishable by death, do you understand this?" My mate growls out. His eyes turning a deep black, letting me know his wolf was beginning to take over.
The man starts to visibly shake as he drops to his knees, "Yes my Alpha." I could hear the pain in his voice. It wasn't his fault! He didn't know who I was! He was only doing his job in protecting his Alpha.
With this in mind I wiggle out of Dominick's grip, and walk over to the man, kneeling next to him.
"Hey," I say gently, "It's okay, no one's going to die, you were just doing your job in protecting the Alpha and his mate." He looks up at me, than looks over to the big brute still glaring holes into him. I look over to my mate, and look back at the man, "Let me handle him, why don't you go back to work, okay?" The man looks at Dominick and reluctantly nods his head getting up and leaving.
I walk over to my mate. "He should be punished for putting his hands on you." He growls out.
"But he didn't know my love, he was just doing his job. Please don't punish him, he doesn't deserve it." I say with tears pricking my eyes. I don't like violence. Never have, never will.
His eyes soften, and he extends his arms out to me, letting me curl into his side. He lets out a breath, "Your right my love, I just let my anger get the best of me." He says as he pulls me closer. Just at that time my tummy decided to demonstrate whale sounds. My face gets bright red, and he chuckles.
"C'mon love lets go get some breakfast." He picks me up, efficiently making me let out a string of giggles. I wrap my legs around his waist, and he looks down, growling again.
"Why did you leave my room with nothing on those perfect legs of yours, my little kitten?" I blush at the nickname unable to answer. "Let's make a pit stop in my room dove, and get some pants to cover your cute little butt."
After heading into his room, borrowing a pair of his sweatpants, we head down stairs to the kitchen. Turning the corner a delicious smell hits me, causing my stomach to let out another embarrassing sound of hunger. "Here love, I had the Omegas make you some pancakes, I hope that's alright." He pulls out a chair and sets me down on it.
He sits down in the chair next to me scooting over a plate with three chocolate chip pancakes, two pieces of bacon and a giant scoop of scrambled eggs.
Is he joking? There's no way i'm going to finish all of this food. Oh well? I start eating the pancakes, after about half of one pancake I grab a piece of bacon nearly moaning at the taste. I eat the last piece of bacon and couldn't continue.
I push the pate away and look over at my mate whos staring at me intently, making me blush yet again. "Are you going to eat more my love?" He motions to my plate. I shake my head no and look down.
"I'm not used to eating so much...and my stomach is full.." I say trailing off at the end, feeling disappointed with myself for not being able to eat like a normal person. He puts his fingers under my chin pulling my head to look at him.
"Is okay love, you did wonderful." I smile at the little praise feeling the butterflies swarm in my chest again. "Why don't I give you a tour of the house?"
I smile up at him excited and bounce in my chair, he grabs my hand and takes me out of the kitchen.
His house is so big! There's an indoor pool, a gym, a music room, annndddd multiple bedrooms.
Our room has a walk-in closet and a bathroom that bigger the my old room! The bathtub is so big we could easily fit five people in it and still have room!!
We went back to our room and I fell on the bed in exhaust, he chuckles and looks down at me.
"As much as I would love to stay and cuddle with you, I have to go to my office and work on some pack business. Why don't you stay here and take a nap my love, you should be taking it easy with your wounds."
I agree, feeling a little sore from the days events. Nodding my head yes I curl into the sheets. Dominick bends down giving me a chaste kiss to the forehead, causing me to let out a content sigh and smile, quickly drifting off to sleep.
