His Mate

Chapter Twelve

Thanos's POV:

I stared down at my mate, slowly running my fingers through his hair and sighed, leaning my head back against the swing. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled up and I allowed my eyes to glow in warning to the vampire approaching. My eyes met with Sasha's as he cocked his hip against rail and hummed low. I gave a low growl, making the unbothered boy snort and roll his eyes. Sasha muttered something under his breath and looked at me.

"I'm gon' go hunt." Sasha said before suddenly disappearing. I shifted Noah in my arms and carried him into the house, glancing down at the brown haired boy in my arms. Noah snuggled closer to my chest and I felt my chest tighten before I moved up the stairs, opening the door to his bedroom with my foot and gently laid him on his bed. I glanced around the room, taking in all the details of the white walls and light oak floors. I rested on the edge of the bed, brushing my fingers through Noah's soft hair and leaning down, resting my forehead against Noah's. I breathed in deeply as I stroked the skin of his cheek and studied the way his eyelashes touched his cheeks before brushing his hair aside as I pulled away, standing up. I scanned the room before shutting off the lights and closing the door, walking down the stairs. Noah had taken the news to the town being werewolves too well. It should bug me but I honestly was ecstatic. Knowing that my mate now knew what I was- well... Not exactly. I knew that I needed to tell Noah he was my mate...

I sat on the couch and ran a hand through my hair, closing my eyes and shaking my head. I rose to my feet, pulling off my shoes, shirt and pants before laying on the soft cushion of the couch and pulling the blue throw blanket over me.

. . .

I felt a warm hand against my shoulder, the sweet scent of my mate filling my nose. I groaned, pulling the blanket over my head.

"Come on, Athanasios." Noah whined, shaking me some more. "Please?" My eyes snapped open before pulling the blanket from over my head and meeting Noah's green eyes.

"What do I get in return?" I asked as I let a sly smirk come to my lips. A blush covered Noah's cheeks and I slipped my arm around his waist, pulling him to me. Noah rolled his eyes before draping his arm across my head, looking at me and hummed.

"Oh, I don't know." A gleeful laugh left his lips as I ran my fingers down his side. Noah shifted comfortably, resting on his side with his head against my chest.. This will do. I thought as I stroked circles on his arm, pulling him closer to my bare chest. I peppered his pale skin with soft kissed and hummed, nuzzling his jaw and cupped his cheek. Noah ran his fingers against my hand before sliding his cold hands against my chest.

"Can I kiss you?" I asked quietly against his cheek. Noah bit his pink lips a bit before nodding, tilting his head up for me. I grinned and massaged his scalp, covering his lips with mine. A whimper left Noah's lips before his arms slid around my neck and he pulled me down. I didn't want anyone else to hear the sounds from Noah's lips, to taste me. I growled before covering his body with mine as I deepened the kiss, massaging his tongue with mine. Noah's legs relaxed against my sides as I stroked his ear, kissing him over and over before pulling away and resting my forehead against his to stare into his eyes. "Good-morning beautiful." A blush quickly covered Noah's face and he pulled me closer, kissing my cheek.

"Morning to you too," He whispered and ran his thumbs over my cheeks. I leaned into his hands before kissing the palm of one. "Coffee and breakfast?" Noah asked. I felt a large grin on my lips before I leaned down, kissing his nose.

"I'd rather eat something else, but yes, love." I whispered. Noah made a strange sound in the back of his throat before he slapped my chest until I got off of him, his face red.
