Alpha's Mate - Daughter of the moon

Chapter 9

Following Weylyn down the increasingly familiar hallways, I was shocked as he stopped at the door opposite the room which I had begun to call my own. 

"This is your room?" I asked in bewilderment, shock painting my emotions.

He rubbed the back of his neck, seeming to find his shoes very interesting suddenly, "yes, I've not been staying here since you arrived though..." he trailed off guilt thick in his tone.

I couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness wash over me; my mate had been staying away from his own room in order to avoid seeing me. That stung.

My dirty blonde hair fell over my face in a curtain as I felt my eyes begin to water before the bitter taste of salt began to seep through my lips as I became aware I was crying. 

"Pandaia... I'm sorry" he tried, patheticness and desperation clear.

"just go in, I want to sleep."

He sighed before opening his door and ushering me inside. 

What a gentleman

I looked around in shock. damn this room is huge compared to my own, and mine was far from small. It was, to simply put it, a bachelor pad. A large flat screen tv covered the wall opposite his massive king-sized-four-poster bed which was piled high with pillows making me want to fling myself into them. His room was mainly robed in dark tones, his bedsheets black with white pillowcases and his walls were all painted a rich Burgandy colour. From the centre of the ceiling hung a huge crystal chandelier and I gaped in awe at the beautifully painted angles filling the space of his ceiling like in the old English theatres I'd read about in books when I was little. There were two other doors, one was open, revealing a marble adorned bathroom while the other was shut,  leading me to believe it was perhaps a wardrobe similar to my own. Around his room were articles of clothing scattered on the floor, typical alpha male. My eyes continue searching the room and I smiled at the large hanging basket chair that was also filled with blankets and pillows by the window. I would certainly be spending my time there.

Yet, as I looked around the room, there was a sense of emptiness that I couldn't understand. It felt like something was missing but I couldn't say what. 

"Done gawking yet pirncess.?" Weylyn asked, snapping me out of my daze.

"i wasnt gawking." I hissed, my voice breaking slightly from my tears.

"Whatever you say, princess - got a bit of drool there."

My hand whipped to the corner of my mouth before I glared harshly at him. Jerk making me look stupid.

"Asshole," I muttered as I stalked over to his bed and finally gave in to the urge and threw myself in the mountain of pillows, moaning in bliss and they actually turned out to be softer than I had first imagined. This was something I could get used to. 

I turned so my back was facing him, letting him know that I was still upset with his actions, he'd have to work hard to make it up to me this time. The bed sunk slightly before I felt Weylyn run his hand up my back a few times, making sparks and tingles erupt all along his path. It was bliss and I was helpless as I half purred and arched further into his hands, hearing his sexy chuckle but being too sleepy to care. I drifted to sleep with the feel of his hands filling my body with sparks.

Okay so maybe he's forgiven.

I woke up as I felt something shifting off the bed. I groaned in displeasure and tried to reach out for my mate only to come back empty handed. I groggily opened my eyes to see my handsome mate straightening a tie in his large dresser mirror. I sat up, confusion clouding my mind.

"Where are you going?"

He spun around, evidently not realising I was awake, making me smirk. I out-stealthed the alpha. I watched as he swept his hair out of his eyes slightly, his posture instantly becoming more relaxed as he leant against the dresser.

"I've got a pack meeting in ten minutes which I need to attend, security and all that " he briefly explained before walking over to the end of the bed and pulling on a pair of black dress shoes.

I shifted so I was now sat kneeling on my legs, no longer submerged in the mountain of pillows. "Can I come?" I asked absentmindedly, twirling some hair around a finger and realising it as it came back curly.

He looked at me cautiously, "it starts in ten minutes, and I really can't be late, you're not going to have enough time to get ready, are you?"

I rolled my eyes, it was clear that he had been with many girls before me and based off that statement I could tell what type they had been.

"Wait here," I said, before rolling off his bed and dashing out his door, across the hallway and into the room I had been sleeping in for the last month. I looked in the mirror before deciding I couldn't exactly have my first introduction to a few pack members in joggers and a hoodie. 

Throwing open the wardrobe doors, I searched through various items of clothing until I found something suitable. It was a strapless lemon yellow dress which was tight fitted at the top then faired into a skater skirt at the bottom, ending just above my knees. I quickly got into it and brushed my hair through, spraying some perfume on myself before grabbing two rings and sliding them onto my fingers. I found a pair of elegant sandals I didn't even know I had and slipped them on, smiling at myself in the mirror at my record-breaking, changing time.

A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts, as I dashed over towards it "coming!" I called as I opened it, revealing Weylyn. He looked up from the ground to me and his gaze seemed to set my body on fire with its intensity. 

"You look stunning," he said after a moment of silence, taking my hand to kiss it before he wrapped an arm around my body in an almost protective manner and began leading me down the hallway.

Be strong Pandia.

I lost my footing slightly and stumbled, lucky to have Weylyn's firm arm holding me in place. 

Mother? what do you mean?

You will know soon my child, be strong and remember, you must let them know who you truly are until the time is right.

but mother! how will i know when the time is right?  

I whined, unimpressed.

I got no reply.

I sighed as I tuned back in to my surrounding in time to see Weylyn open a large double door and pull me into the room. 

Here goes nothing.
