Marks
I snuggled up to the woolen blanket, pulling it securely around my chin and smiling.
This was the life, to wake up to the sun, to feel perfectly cool, at ease, a little sore .
I mentally rolled my eyes at that last thought, before peaking through my lashes and the alpha snoring below me, his hands securing placed around my waist under the covers.
I rested nearly on top of his chest , gently bobbing my head to the sound of his breathing.
Everything seems so perfect.
But I'm hungry.
I try to wiggle my way off Xander embrace. And all was good no lie, until his hands tightened around my body pulling my whole body up till I was staring at his deep green playful eyes.
"Stop moving partner or I'm going to have to take you again in this bed." He exclaimed, his voice low and playful and he leaned up to kiss my cheeks.
"As much as I would love to take up on that, I am starving. And I am really feeling for some Macon strips and toast."
"Do you know what I am feeling for?." He leaned up and quickly twisted us around so he was perfectly on top of me and he leaned down to kiss my neck, slightly nibbling on the pink flesh.
I laugh and quickly go off the bed turning around and grabbing the bed blankets with me as I quickly made my way to the shower.
After a hot bath i walked out to see Xander still sitting on the bed with a pair of shorts and a vest.
"How are you able to walk? Arnt you in pain after all." He looked genuinely looked confused as I walked over to his luggage pulling out a top to slip on, and his shorts.
"Trust me, I feel it, but I'm good at covering up pain. WarriorAgent life,"
I turned around and looked at my self in Xander's T-shirt, not the best but it would do.
"Maybe I should try , again and again and again, so we can see how much it take-"
"Don't you dare finish that Alpha, it's starting to take a wrong turn and you and I both know I can have you on your ass in a millisecond." I threatened , slightly humorously. " but on a better note, what do you want to do today?"
"I would like to do you." He stated in complete seriousness.
"Xander come on, you can take me anywhere! You know this pack like your own."
"True," He feigned thought , " I would like to take you on every wall in this house and maybe against that tree outside."
I'm digging myself in deeper with this guy.
"Xander," I whined throwing a pillow at his face which he happily caught with a smirk.
"Alright Partner, Let's go feed you."
We walked out the room together, him leading cause he knew the way.
Thus giving me time for reply what actually happened last night.
Mohanna said I need to experience true pure love, I already love my sister and my parents. And I don't think if I ever had to fall for Ian, the love will be totally pure. But Xander, he makes my heart flutter, he erupts a zoo in my tummy, when he is around, I just felt better.
I was tired of following the strict rules of wolves. I wanted him and I needed him.
And damn I got him.
"What are you thinking about Partner."
"Mohanna and her words."
But with that sentence we entered the pack house kitchen, it was huge, two times larger then the one at BLUEMOON,
Fully white decked out chefs kitchen, a huge island and many seating that was now only occupied by three.
Alpha James, Tyler and Derek, while the the Luna was at the stove.
"Morning sleepy heads, how did the physical love go last night." James asked wiggling his eyes brows while talking definitely gathering the attention of the twins.
"Babe, you can't ask people that."
Xander next to me just smirk and made his way over to the table, stuffing his mouth with some toast before he answered.
" I don't think her wolf is back yet, but I'm willing to try again."
I shoved Xander into the counter before stealing a strip of Macon.
"Since when do you get all playful mr quiet alpha." Tyler spoke up.
"Yes, And when do you suddenly get all the hot girls! She was going to be mine last night, thanks for stealing her Xander."
I coughed at Derek's words, the Macon choking me as it slid down my throat.
But I didnt need to put the boy in his place, Xander's low but deep growl laced in fury did the job, stopping Derek in his tracks.
"Don't go there Derek, she is mine."
"Well I am happy you found your mate Alpha." Tyler exclaimed slapping Xander in the back.
He stood still.
I don't even think he was breathing.
I don't even think I am.
Nor was James or the Luna.
Xander and I weren't mates. We just two wolves, well I'm partly wolf, who...can I even say fell in love? Am I even in love?
What is Love.
Ian is my mate.
A rejected mate.
Ella is his mate.
A dead mate.
Xander and I just fit.
But I rejected Ian, and he rejected me. A mutually agreement for our own benefit.
What lies.
Ian wants me. But I have too much pride and honor to go back to a man who didn't want me first.
Then you get Xander, he of all people lost a mate to a human. She had pups that she was supposed to have with him to another man. And then she killed herself cause she loved that man.
And she made Xander promise to look after her children.
Is it wrong that I dislike her. Is it wrong that I am so angry and at everything she put Xander through. Is it so wrong that I want to be her...
I snap my head up to James as he offers Xander to come and help the pack train, thank fully pulling the tension out the room.
The boys left and after a while the Luna and I followed with many of the women in the pack with lots of food.
We set down picnic settings and watched the males fight.
I looked around, almost every male was training and almost very female was sitting.
I turned to the closest female whispering into her ear.
"Is there a reason there is no women Warrior?"
She smile back.
"Only men fight here, it's tradition."
Tradition what crap.
I was about to argue that thought when a heavily pregnant women sat down next to me.
"Your pregnant." I squealed excitedly , itching to put my hand on the bump.
"Stating the obvious arnt you love." A random girl pointed out.
"I am , a full six months, going to pop at any second, go ahead give it a touch." The women stated eyeing my hand.
Slowly I put my hand flat on her stomach, then slowly a slight pressure was felt at that spot.
"He is kicking, I guess it's his way of saying hi."
She chuckled causing the surrounding women to swoon.
"Hello Baby" I whispered before turning to the soon-to-be mum, " six months only?"
She nodded, " normal wolves have a full human term of nine months or so, people of rank have it for six and well Alphas have it by four."
"They say when you and an Alpha mate you know do it.. then eights days later the scans pick up your pregnant. At least that's what happened with Ella."
"Yes Ella was from alpha bloodline."
I nodded and then turned to look back the men fighting.
Xander was in a harsh discussion, his brows furrowed and a look of deep thought on his face, before he suddenly pulled off his vest and turning his back to us.
Dear lord after that the gasp was deadly.
Boys and men began whistling and girls gasped.
And it was the muscles they were staring at.
Rather the two pairs of deep four finger clawed scratches running along Xander's back.
Hell even I had to gasp.
Why the hell wasn't this damn alpha healing.
