The Weretiger's Curse

Chapter twenty-one

Alec

To say I was exhausted was an understatement, it was the one crisis after another. My heart ached when I thought about Kate but I was downright furious that someone got onto my territory without anyone noticing. What if it was Tracy instead of Kate I kept asking myself. I needed to get to the training grounds to see how my pack was doing, with all this shit going on I haven't given much attention to that. Luckily I had a Beta like Quinn who I knew was an extremely great fighter and trainer.

I also couldn't stop thinking about that damn Lycan entering my mate's dreams. The thought of him near her put me and my tiger on edge, she was mine and I will protect her with everything I got.

"Damn right, nobody will touch a hair on our mate's body, I will rip them to shreds"

Jax was over protective of Tracy, If I had listened to him we wouldn't let Tracy leave our side and even though I was tempted to listen to him, I knew it wasn't what she needed. Tracy needed to feel free and independent, I didn't like it but her needs and wants will always come first.

"Alec?"

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Tracy saying my name, my name coming from her lips sounded so sexy.

"Yeah Trace"

"I asked what you would like for dinner?" She said softly.

I had no appetite but I knew we had to eat to stay strong, with the war coming in a few days we couldn't afford to be anything but.

"Maybe just chicken salad, I'm not really hungry" I said and she nodded, walking to the kitchen.

I sat at the kitchen Island while Tracy prepared our meal, she was extremely quiet and I could see she was thinking deeply. Throughout dinner she didn't say a word and when we were done eating she collected our plates and washed the dishes still not saying anything. I didn't like seeing her acting this way, it made my heart ache but I didn't want to ask her what was going on, afraid I will push her away. I trusted that she would talk to me when she was ready.

I went to my office to call Quinn about traing tommorow and when I got down stairs I saw Tracy sitting on the couch in the dark, her knees were pulled up to her chest and tears were running down her cheeks. In mere second I was by her side, picker her up and placing her on my lap as I sat down with her.

"It's all my fault, if I haven't ended up here then nobody would have been in danger. Kate would still be alive"

I felt sadness and fury mixing within me. If she never ended up here she would probably still be with that fucking Lycan. Jax didn't like that thought and I had to stop the growl threatening to come out.

"I do not ever want to hear you say that again. If you haven't ended up here, I never would have known what true happiness felt like and I never would have known what true love really meant. Fate brought you here, fate brought you to me and even with all this shit going on I do not and will never regret asking you to stay" I said and she looked up at me and then laid her head on my chest.

I wiped away the tears on her cheeks and kissed the top of her haid. If only she could see that she was my reason to live

A/N so this chapter was a little bit shorter but I just wanted to give Alec and Tracy some alone time before shit hits the fan again.
