Cassandra

kissing boo boos.

UNEDITED

Xander's POV.

I was fifteen minutes early for the meeting. Might be related to the fact that I woke up extremely early today. I still found Cassandra in the kitchen, so that kinda beat the purpose of waking up early in the first place.

She was sitting on one of the stools at the island, she had my hoodie on and a shirt that went mid thigh it was slightly raised just below her ass because she was sitting down. She had placed her head on her arms a book in front of her.

Who wakes up before 6 am to read a book. I slowly walked to the fridge trying to avoid making unecessary noise if by chance she turned to look at me I'd just walk out. I was about to reach the fridge when I heard a book fall behind me.

This was just attention seeking, I thought as I turned. Cassandra was now mumbling something to herself as she turned, her eyes closed . Was she sleeping? How long had she even been here? did she even go to bed?

She was now pouting, her hair messy from all the turning I guess. She had a crease on her forehead but despite this she looked adorable. She looked like a baby. I was so deep in thought I hadn't realised I was running her hair through my fingers. 

She had naturaly curly black locks, that were softer than they looked.They felt like silk. Rovan kept howling persuading me to touch her face, but I didn't want her waking up and finding me touching her and yet she had a boyfriend. Fuck! she has a boyfriend I thought as I let go of her hair.

My hands now felt empty without something of hers in it. It took all I had to walk away after picking up the fallen book. I might be a shitty person, but I would want to break a mates bond because my scent was all over her.

It was clear by now she had no scent of her own. She didn't even have Ethan's scent when she came back to the house. Well that is weird I said out loud.

"What is weird "Alpha Derrick said as he walked in.

"Nothing sir, just something that crossed my mind."I said as I stood up to shake his hand.

"Is it a girl disturbing your thoughts son?"

Alpha derrick had always been sort of a father figure, he had watched me grow up, I was even  raised with his son Ryder,  unlike me, Ryder found his mate when he was 16, she was a rogue when they met and it was even a mistake. Now that I think of it I was the cause of their meeting. What was I ? some mate seeker or something?

That day I had wanted to go for shopping and I wanted to go with Ryder, he had to tell his father he was leaving the perimeter so I left with him. Their butler had said his father was in the dungeons, so we went there. The rogue smell hitting my nosetrils as soon as we were descending the stairs. Ryder on the other hand kept telling me if I smelt waffles. I mean what would that be doing in a dungeon.

We found his father in front of a dingy cell, with a group of girls inside. They looked dirty and injured. as soon as we got there one of them stood up looking at us quizzically. I was waiting for Ryder to speak up so that we could leave this smelly place.

But Ryder had the same look the girl had, until the girl whispered mate. So that's how it all went down and they  built a house together. They were pretty much the most amazing couple I knew.I had never seen them fight not even once, and they were pretty possesive of each other.

"Is this a bad time, you look a little occupied" I heard Alpha derrick say.

"No sorry, We can start the meeting. I wanted to ask if you still had our back, incase of anything that occurs."I said getting to the point. This would be so much easier if I just got to the point.
