Alpha's Choice

Chapter 6 Answers

Alexandria's POV

"You should call me Alpha, or Alpha Xander only, in the presence of any pack members, and you will do best to keep your eyes down. Wolves love a challenge and human girl staring them down is definitely a challenge. While we are there you will be given all unscented hygiene items. It's for you're safety as much as piece of mind. Male wolves like how you stink." I nod just trying to keep that part straight because it brought up more questions, and I needed to keep the two sets straight in my mind. "We can get into the other topics when we get on the road."

I have never looked forward to a car ride so much. I couldn't help but look over at him from time to time. It seemed like a dream, that I shouldn't be living. This had to be fake. Once we were settled in and traveling down the highway. He put the partition up, and looked over at me seductively. "Oh hell no! You promised me answers." I know he heard it because his smile changed to amused almost instantly.

He gave me a big grin. He was kind of charming when he wanted to be. "Okay. What do you want to know? I may not be able to answer everything up front right now, but I promise before we leave you will have all the answers you want. I will do my best though." He pulled off his business jacket and took off his tie. He unbuttoned his collar and rolled up his sleeves. He was a very good distraction, and I was sure he knew that.

"What is this? And what the hell did you do to me?" I said pointing to the purple crescent moon shape on my neck.

He sighs heavily, shifting in his seat. Is it just me or does he actually seem uncomfortable? "You couldn't start from any easy place could you Trouble? Nope straight for the kill." He looks away from me and out the window. "I bit you." I actually had kind of figured that part out, but why did I feel different now? What was with all the memories? Why does it burn sometimes and always concerning him? "Yes. It's all connected, and if you let me explain. I will get to that."

"I could hear your thoughts because we are bonded, and they were way too exciting for my own good. I didn't consider all the possibilities and lost control. When I bit you I sealed that bond in blood, which is how you accept your mate. Now if someone is not your mate and you bite them it's more like a strong aphrodisiac. It's not something I normally do either, but nothing about any of this is normal." 

"Wait! What? What the hell does that mean exactly?"

He looked down to the floor, fidgeting with his hands in his lap. "It means your my mate. You are my other half. And I couldn't even reject you if I wanted to because the pact has been made and it will only continue to get stronger. Normally it isn't completed until after consummation of the relationship." My mouth is hanging open as I try to process but the information he is telling me but it isn't fitting into place in my brain in any order that will make sense. I'm pretty sure my brain isn't working.

"I broke Pack Law, because as a human you are supposed to considered a suitable mate for me because I am the Alpha. If you are deemed an unsuitable mate by the pack, I am supposed to reject you. If I don't I have to relinquish Alpha for my mate. I have already accepted you."

I am able to process at least a portion of it now. I was his mate. He accepted me. The idea honestly didn't bother me too much. It even made me feel warm all over. Xander has everything, how could I be disappointed? Except that I wasn't being given any kind of choice in any of this. I was just expected to do his will, but looking at him as he nervously spun his tail next to me fiddling with his hands I could tell he didn't really have a choice either. "I'm sorry what exactly does it mean to be your mate, because this is all new to me."

There was a lot more heavy sighs from him, enough that I swear it changed the atmospheric pressure in the back of the limo. "A mate to a shifter is everything. There is a match out there for everyone somewhere. It's the person who is supposed to be your other half, that completes you and once you have met them you crave them. They are a part of you. That's why I have been hearing your thoughts, and probably why they were all of me." He looked up and smiled at me incorrigibly, his blue eyes penetrating straight into the deepest part of me. "And why you're a virgin at 20 with all the indecent thoughts of a pornstar."
