The alpha's mate

Chapter 9

Valerie's POV

-----Thomas or Stiles^^^-------------------

My eyes widen as he says that. Change color? You mean it happened again?!

"Valerie?" I look at him. "Tell me what's going on. I can't help if you don't."

"It's nothing Alexander." I say quickly. I stand up and wipe the sweat from my forehead. He sighs and I instantly begin to boil from the inside out.

"Valerie?" He looks at me with concern. I whimper and my legs give out. Before my knees can hit the ground, a strong pair of arms lifts me up.

"H-Heat." I manage to get out. He runs to the bathroom and sets me down in the tub. I whimper and he starts cold bath water.

My wolf whimpers at the loss of contact. I close my eyes in pain. Alexander cups my face.

"Hey baby no. Look at me." He says. I obey and whimper as he kisses my forehead. "Stay awake."

I can't. I think. He stops the water and I look at him. He gives me a sad smile and leans against the tub. I close my eyes and duck underwater. I feel myself get pulled to the top and I whimper.

"You can't do that." He says. I begin breathing heavily.

"Too hot." I say as I begin to feel myself hyperventilating. I claw at my shirt and instantly Alexander rips it apart. I take the ruined shirt off and calm down a little.

"Please. Let me help you." Alexander says. I look at him. "I can make the pain go away Valerie." I quickly shake my head. "Why?"

I don't answer as I turn away from him. I lay my head in the side of the tub and close my eyes. I hear Alexander sigh and I drift off to sleep.

--------The next morning-----

I wake up to feel arms around my waist. I look up from Alexander's chest and stare at his perfectly shaped lips. I take my hand and glide it up and down his forearm, earning a groan from him.

"Well good morning." He says in a husky morning voice. I continue staring at him and his eyes shoot open. "It's rude to stare at someone sleeping sunshine. And creepy."

"No it's not. I think it's romantic." I tell him. He rolls his eyes and yawns.

"How do you feel?" He asks. I remember the horrible events from last night and sigh.

"I guess I'm okay." I mumble. He gives me a sad confused look. "What?"

"Why didn't you let me help you?" He asks. I sit up and look at the door.

"I want to get to know you first." I whisper. He sits up beside me and puts his head on my shoulder.

"I understand." He says. I smile and lay my head on his.

"Can we just stay here?" He asks. I shake my head and he pouts. "Please?"

"No, bear." I say. He tilts his head. He gives me a the-hell-is-a-bear look. "You call me sunshine I call you bear. Besides I have to cook and you have work."

"Fine. But you're staying here. With guards." He tells me. I move out of his grasp and walk to his closest.

"Why guards?" I ask loud enough to hear. He laughs and walks to the closet.

"Don't question me Valerie. Just doing what's best for you." He says leaning against the frame.

"Hm." I hum in response, looking through his wardrobe. "What's best for me..." I walk up to him. "Or you?"I close the door and change into his clothes.

Good thing he likes my style as well, I think to myself. I open the closet and Alexander looks at me.

"You look good in my clothes." He smirks. I smile and he walks beside me. "Can't wait to take them off later."

"Ha." I begin walking towards the door. "You wish." I jog down the stairs and into the kitchen. Two guys look up from the table at me. "Ah. You guys must be the new gaurds."

"Yes we are Luna." They say in unison. I lean against the counter.

"Please. Call me Valerie." I say. They nod. "Did you guys eat yet?"

"No but we'll be fine." The one with brown hair says.

"I didn't ask if you guys would be fine. I ask if you ate." I say casually. "Besides if I'm gonna cook for you guys it'll be rude to not eat it."

"You're right." The blond one says. I smile and point to him.

"I like you." I say playfully. Alexander walks in and growls at me. "Okay..." I point to Alexander. "I guess I like you." I turn to make pancakes. "So do you guys have names? Or will I have to call you blonde guy and brown guy?" I look at them from over my shoulders.

"Right sorry. I'm Justin." The blonde one says.

"I'm Thomas or Stiles." (RESPECT TO THE KING THOMAS IN MAZE RUNNER AND STILES IN TEEN WOLF BOI) The brown one says.

"Why both?" I ask. "I mean is the any particular reason you have two names?"

"Oh no. It's just my name is Thomas Stiles King so I let people call me my middle name." He explains. I nod. "So how about you? What's the Luna's full name?"

"Cassandra Kenna Reynolds." I accidentally spit out. My eyes widen and I drop the plate.

"What?" Alexander asks. I quickly pick up the plate and throw the pieces in the trash.

"It's Valerie Lonnie Gonzalez." I correct myself as I grab another plate and put the finished pancakes on it.
