Chapter 29

Adrian’s Pov

I couldn’t help but moan as I felt her petite but curvaceous form brush against mine, the feeling of her soft skin pressed against my own was enough to draw a growl from my lips as I stared down at my blushing and flustered mate as she looked up at me with hungry eyes.

I licked my lips, enjoying the view very much as I felt my eyes switch to the amber of my wolfs. She wasn’t scared; I could feel she wasn’t and that fact made me purr deeply within my chest. She was so perfect, so mine that I couldn’t help but grind myself against her as she gasped at the friction and pleasure that my action brought.

Letting my eyes rake hungrily over her naked form it didn’t take me long to reach my release, thrusting deep inside of her as I felt myself fall apart in her arms as she was thrown over into her own bliss with a scream of my name.

My canines were in her neck as soon as the both of us had climaxed, drawing out the pleasure and claiming her as mine for the rest of our lives.

~(@)~

Jumping awake I felt myself groan out loud when I realised it was a dream, the days having passed by quicker than I would have thought but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to hold myself back forever.

Holly was slowing becoming more accustomed to the way we do things in a pack such as ours, a family where everyone cared for everyone. I could tell it made her both happy as well as nervous, as if she was terrified to hope that this was the real deal.

As for how intimate we were we still hadn’t gone past the lustful kisses and in some nights some grinding that I couldn’t help but feel myself get lustful over, especially the small moans and gasps which I seemed to elicit from her. I loved it, I loved her.

I knew I loved her, hell I hadn’t let myself this close to anyone since my parents died and that was years ago. Though I had to admit, it was nice having someone who cared about you as deeply as I knew Holly cared about me. It was why I wasn’t going to rush her, even if my wolf was snarling at me to mate with her and my dreams of me claiming her were getting more and more frequent. I couldn’t and wouldn’t push her, this had to be her decision and on her terms.

Since the night when Jake was stupid enough to scare the shit out of Holly she hadn’t asked to touch me again, I was terrified that I may have missed my chance. I mean she had to know how much I wanted her right? I mean I was always touching her; I couldn’t seem to help myself!

Trying to will away the lustful thoughts I took in deep breath full of air as I turned over to lay on my front, pressing the tent in my pyjama pants into the bed as I tried to will away all thoughts of claiming my mate. It didn’t help that I had already seen her naked, what with carrying her to my bed when I found her in the woods the first time we met, and the fact that I knew thanks to her having some more meat on her bones she would only look more and more enticing to me.

Growling I buried my head in my pillow, enjoying the feel of Holly pressed against me as her heart beat thumped in sync with my own.

I really needed to try and approach the subject, I thought. Perhaps she was waiting for me to make a move; I mean I knew she wasn’t the type of girl to jump me so maybe I should seduce her instead.

With that in my mind I went over how I could do it, knowing that it wasn’t just a one night stand since this girl was going to be with me for the rest of my life. She was going to have my pups in her belly; she was going to grow old with me as soon as we stopped phasing. She was mine!

Knowing that I needed to get up soon, having been told yesterday that two new pups had shifted for the first time meaning that I needed to accept them into the pack and give them the option of living in the pack house. We had plenty of room and it helped if they were around kids their own age, even if most of them happened to be slightly older.

I think they were roughly sixteen, a little late for a first shift but nothing to worry about. Apparently they had managed to turn into a wolf for the first time in their parents kitchen, almost giving the poor woman a heart attack.

I couldn’t help but think of my own shift, I was a hell of a lot more younger but still it had been quite eventful. I had shifted out of anger, my father having been in the middle of an argument with a bloke I couldn’t quite remember. What I could recall however was how the man had the nerve to try and strike my father, an action which was considered both foolish as well as disrespectful. I remember how angry I was, how disgusted that that man would dare hit his alpha that I phased mid-stride and nearly took his arm straight off.

Sigh…good memories.

Knowing that I couldn’t afford to sleep in much longer I turned on my side to gaze at my mate, her lips slightly parted as I felt her warm breath dance across my face.

Wanting her with me when I went to meet the younger wolfs, wanting them to know who their alpha female was, I roused her in the most gentlest way possible. If anyone would have told me a month ago that I would ever be so soft to another I would have laughed in their face outright, but now I wouldn’t change it for the world.

“Holly, sweetheart” I soothed, watching as her eyes fluttered open before she stretched out like a cat in front of me. I may have moaned, ok I definitely moaned.

“What’s the time?”

“About 7:30” I told her. “Remember we have to go introduce the pups into the pack” I reminded her, seeing her frown in confusion for a few moments before nodding in realisation.

It didn’t take us long to get ready, Holly slipping on another one of her dresses but thankfully she had a thick pair of tights on underneath as well as a thick coat. It was still chilly outside; she still had a while to go until I had her at a heath which I felt was acceptable but until then I would make sure she was wrapped up tight.

“Ready?” I asked amused as I watched her grab out a container of cookies from the fridge which she had baked yesterday for this sole purpose.

“You laugh but I bet that poor woman is going out of her mind” Holly said smugly causing me to chuckle as I held the door open for her.

“She already knew about wolves, Holly. Hell, her mates one” I told her with a grin which I still couldn’t quite hide.

“Still, in one night her babies turned into wolves and the following day they are meeting their alpha, moving into the pack house as well as having a whole knew responsibility when learning to fight and patrolling comes into question” Holly stated in one breath, I looked at her surprised. “What?”

“Nothing” I grinned, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as she leaned into me. “Just thinking about how clever my mate is” I told her, seeing her blush brightly as she buried her face in my chest causing me to chuckle loudly.

Reaching the house I instantly took in the scents of the soon to be new pack members, imprinting them into my memory as I watched pleased as Holly seemed to instinctively do the same.

Shaking my head I took in the house in front of us, the small but well-kept property being surrounded in flower beds which I took note instantly had Holly’s attention as she pulled out of my grip to have a look at them.

Suddenly having an idea of how I was going to seduce my little mate I headed up the steps to the house and knocked on the door, calling Holly who instantly came jogging up as she appeared at my side with a wide smile as she held the container of cookies in her hands.

She looked so cute I couldn’t help but smile, pressing my lips to her cheek just as the door opened and a panicked young women peaked out. I guessed this was the new pups mother.

“Hello, I’m guessing you are Mrs Pennies” I smiled reassuringly, seemingly shocking her. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised, what with my reputation being that I was a harsh but fair alpha.

“Urm…hello…” she stuttered out a greeting, eyeing Holly in a judging manner that had a snarl ripping from my throat before anyone knew what was happening.

“Be nice” Holly scolded me playfully as she slapped my arm when the woman nearly jumped out of her skin, her eyes widening when she took in Holly’s actions towards me. “I’m Holly”

It was clear Mrs Pennies didn’t have a clue how to react to my smiling mate who was holding out a container of double chocolate chip cookies. I had to admit it did look kind of surreal.

“This is my mate, Holly” I introduced, seeing her eyes widen in realisation before she finally seemed to open the door as she gestured us inside. “Thank you”

“Urm…you’re welcome. Sophie and Liam are out at the minute, there be back in a few minutes though I promise” she rushed out, clearly panicked and I was thankful that my smart little mate had thought ahead. I knew it was a good idea to bring her with me; she just seemed to have this soothing effect when it came to matters such as these.

“Why don’t we sit down?” Holly smiled at the woman, watching as Mrs Pennies headed towards the living room before offering us a seat.

Taking the loveseat along with Holly I watched as she charmed the young woman instantly, her smile warm and inviting as she offered the shocked lady a cookie which had me chuckling. I didn’t refuse one when she offered though, why would I when my mate was an incredible cook?

“Thank you” I winked at her, seeing her roll her eyes but blush brightly when I moaned after shoving the whole treat in my mouth in one go. Probably not the best thing to do when making a good first impression, but it was worth it when Holly burst into fits of giggles before calming herself.

“So, Mrs Pennies-“ I started, wanting to get down to business.

“It’s Rebecca, I mean you can call me Rebecca” she rambled on, clearly nervous and not knowing what to make of the both of us.

“Well, Rebecca…I know this is a lot to take in and if you have any questions before your children arrive then I will happily answer them as honestly as I can for you” I stated as I reached for another cookie, seeing Holly roll her eyes before she jumped in surprise slightly when Rebecca shot to her feet.

“I am so, so sorry! I forgot to offer you drinks, crap, would you like a drink?” the woman panicked, clearly not knowing how she was meant to act around me. Honestly it wasn’t a rare occurrence, everyone apart from the pack seemed to feel uncomfortable when presented with their alpha.

“I’ll have a tea if you don’t mind” I told her with what I hoped to be a relaxing smile, Rebecca looking towards Holly who seemed to be staring at the flower arrangement on the windowsill. “Holly?”

Watching as Holly seemed to snap out of it she gave an apologetic look towards our host before shrugging and saying that she was fine. I didn’t miss how her eyes seemed to stray towards the bright yellow flowers though, my mind working a mile a minute as I soon found myself grinning.

While Rebecca rushed out the living room to the kitchen I couldn’t help but find myself staring at my mate again, watching as she surveyed the room before smiling brightly in my direction.

“What are you grinning about?” I asked her, smirking at her innocent expression.

“Nothing in general” she shrugged, “want another cookie?”

Never denying the opportunity to pig out I grabbed another and finished it just in time for Rebecca to arrive back, the cup trembling on the saucer as her hands shook with her nerves. “Thank you”

Taking a seat after I had reached over to take my cup of tea I watched as she played with her hands, Holly thumping me on the shoulder when I realised I must have been staring blankly at her from the moment she sat down.

“So, did you have any questions?” Holly asked, my head shaking when I took note of how she seemed to relax under my mates soothing tone. I wasn’t that scary was I?

“I’ll be able to visit my children, right?” she asked nervously, her eyes wide with panic.

“Of course, they may reside at the pack house but in their free time they can do as they wish. As long as they appear for any pack meetings, training sessions and whenever I call they can live their own lives how they like it” I stated, seeing her relax at the realisation that she wouldn’t be prevented from seeing her children.

I frowned; I wasn’t that cruel.

“Good, that’s good” I heard her mutter, opening my mouth to comment when she blurted out another question. “Will they ever be, you know punished?” she asked nervously, like most parents incredibly protective over their children. It was understandable.

“If they step out of line” I spoke bluntly, literally smelling the fear coming off her in waves.

“Wait…what?” she stuttered, clearly not expecting my honest answer.

“They step out of line, they get punished” I repeated with a roll of my eyes, seeing Holly frown at me out of the corner of my eye much to my distaste. “What?”

“Be nice” she frowned before looking over at the almost crying woman who was trying desperately to hold herself together. I managed to hold back a shrug. “Ignore him Rebecca, he is just being crude” Holly smiled causing my eyes to widen.

“What…?”

“I know this must be hard for you, I mean your children are growing up and all, but you don’t have to worry so much. They are in safe hands” my glorious mate soothed her.

“How can I be sure?” she asked causing me to roll my eyes, biting my tongue as not to snap back with a sarcastic comment.

“Well I would be dead without him, how much more loyal can you get?” Holly shrugged before grabbing another cookie, clearly missing the stunned and taken aback expression on the young woman’s face.

The room was silent for a few minutes before the back door opened, my eyes rolling when I heard the two pups enter the room before their eyes widened in unison as they caught sight of me and Holly.

“Mum?” the girl asked nervously, playing with her hair in a coy manner that had me frowning. “Who’s that?” she tried to purr, my eyes trained on Holly who had stiffened as soon as the kid had started looking me over in a manner which I found disturbing on a girl her age.

“This is Adrian, the alpha-“ she stated but was quickly but off before she could introduce Holly. I instantly knew these kids needed some discipline.

“Really, well shit” the boy grinned before catching sight of my mate. I instantly stiffened. “Who’s the brunette?” he spoke cheekily, sending a lustful look in her direction causing a protective growl to ripple from my throat.

I watched as a shudder of fear ran through him, the girl on the other hand having a look of pleasure on her features as she gazed at me with unrestrained desire. Even if I wasn’t mated, which I was, I wouldn’t even give her a second glance even if she was older. They were kids, very stupid and suicidal kids. I repeated it in my mind like a mantra; they were just kids.

“Watch your tone!” I told them, my tone harsh but it got my point across.

“I didn’t-“ the cocky boy interrupted me. This was the bad thing about newly changed wolves, they thought they were invincible when they were actually on the lowest hierarchy of the pack.

“It wasn’t a request” I told him, seeing him swallow harshly. I sighed, please don’t do this now.

“You don’t own me!” he snapped, my brows raising as I heard his mother gasp.

“If you want to be in my pack, technically I do!” I snarled, rising to my high stature. “Now child, do you want to be in my pack?” I snapped, seeing him cower as I leaned threateningly over him.

“I…I…”

“Speak up boy!” I growled, not in the mood for this. I had come here in a good mood; he had managed to blow that to smithereens within seconds of him turning up.

When I didn’t get a reply I gestured for Holly to stand by my side, pleased when she did so without complaint as I narrowed my eyes at the pair of children in front of me. I may sound harsh; but young wolves can be dangerous if they don’t have the right kind of discipline.

“You will not phase without my permission, you will not approach the woods due to patrols and you will NOT dare speak to my mate! Got it?” I snarled out, my alpha order coming through as I watched them both shudder as it locked into their wolves. They couldn’t shift until I wanted them to now, whether they were children or not was irrelevant.

Without waiting for their reply I grabbed Holly’s hand and tugged her out of the house, having had enough of this shit for one day.
