The Alpha's Seer

Chapter 17

"Brooke" Jacob shouted relieved when he spotted them approaching in the dark, his face turning to pain and concern when he took in her tear stained cheeks. He was at her side in seconds, pulling her out of Paul's arms as he cupped her checks as he took in her slightly bloodshot and swollen eyes before glaring at Paul, his wolf whimpering at the urge to take care of his mate.

"Hey, I'm fine ok sweetness, me and Paul just had a heart to heart" she smiled brightly, though it didn't help his frown of worry; it only deepening when he noticed her shivering slightly due to the chill in the air and her lack of jacket.

"Come on baby" he quickly stated, gathering her up in his arms as he pulled her tightly against him to keep her warm. Saying his goodbyes to the worried looking pack he jogged to his truck, smiling when he heard her breathing deepen and even out meaning she had fallen asleep yet again in his arms. He hadn't felt whole from the moment she had set off with Paul, he had wanted nothing more than to bring her back in his arms, becoming more and more panicked and anxious as the hours went by. The pack had made fun of him of course, but seeing her tear-streaked face when she came back made him physically pained that he hadn't been there to take away her clear distress like he should have been…but where was he when his imprint needed him, listening to Bella drone on about what they were doing tomorrow! What the fuck was wrong with him?

Quickly turning off the radio as not to wake her he carefully slipped her in, putting her seatbelt on before making their way to his home. His wolf was eating him up inside, just knowing his mate had been crying and not knowing why was making him go insane. He would have attacked Paul on the spot if it wasn't for his urge to take care of his imprint; but he knew if she didn't spill then he was going to force it out of Paul. He may not be the current Alpha, but the power was in his blood.

As soon as he arrived back at his house he quickly shut off his truck and ran around to her side. Taking note of how dark it was he was glad that being a wolf meant he could see everything clearly, even if it would be near pitch black to a human.

Trying not to disturb her he quickly took her in his arms, instantly feeling his wolf settle as he gently kicked the door of his truck shut before hurriedly making his way inside so she wouldn't be cold.

"Mm Jacob…" he smiled as she mumbled in her sleep, her arms going around his neck as she pressed her face against his bare chest. He couldn't help but grin, shifting her in his arms as he opened the door quietly as not to rouse her. It was a wasted effort though since as soon as he got in and had the door shut behind him his dads voice immediately shouted to greet them.

"That you son, your back earlier than usual?" Billy shouted from the living room after hearing the front door shut, unknowingly waking Brooke up as she yelped awake in surprize at his booming voice. Startled she felt her grip on him loosen, yelping again when she felt Jacob stumble slightly due to her sudden movement.

"Crap" Jacob swore as he quickly moved his arms so she didn't fall, glaring at his dad as he wheeled in only to take in the look on his sons face. He paled slightly, but tried not to let it show as he took in the petite girl in his arms as she clutched her fast-beating heart. "Sorry" he smiled sheepishly, realising that he must have woken her when he shouted.

"It's fine, sorry I must have doused off" she smiled reassuringly, stroking Jacobs cheek to sooth his glare as he looked at her adoringly. She loved it when he looked at her like that, it telling her that he felt just as strongly about her as she did about him.
