Chapter 31
I listened in to our mate and his beta. I loved the sound of his voice. Placing my nose in the air, I breathed in his scent. It wraps around me like he was with me, calming every nerve I had. Knowing my mate was in the same room as me was hard, I couldn’t control myself. I wanted to open my eyes and show him who I was, but I knew it couldn’t happen, not yet. I looked at Leah, who was sleeping. When our mate picked her up, I pushed her into the darkness to get some sleep and some needed rest. The dream of the wolf was still lingering on her mind. The thought of the wolf that started all this made me want to break out and rip someone apart. Her grandfather would be a perfect candidate. The way he spoke to Leah had me on edge, and I wanted nothing more than to come close to prove that she belonged. Something about this family had me on edge, but it was the man that her mother is mated too had me intrigued. He wants a relationship with Leah. I could sense that with him and he was trying to be there for her and even stuck up for her with what I heard. I felt movement in my head, which made me look back at Leah, who was whimpering. The dream was taking a toll on her and I couldn’t stop it. I wanted to tell her what was going on, but I couldn’t, not till her mother tells her about our kind. Every part of me wants nothing more, but remembering that the Moon Goddess wants us to shift away from the pack was unheard of. But with what happened tonight, I was more than willing to leave. My eyes were closed, but I used my werewolf hearing to find out what our mate was doing. As I listened in, a soft snore came floating through which only made me giggle slightly. I listened in to find out what his wolf was doing, and he was also sleeping. I wanted to peek at him. I wanted to know what he looked like. I was curious than anything to find out why Leah’s heart rate went up when he was around the last time. Knowing Leah’s body was getting better, I was healing her with no one knowing. She had a fever because of the rain. I slowly opened my eyes and blinked a few times to get a clear look at what was around me. I crept up and sat there, looking around the room. It was clearly an alpha’s room as it was bigger than the room that Leah had in her mothers, let alone in her father’s old house. It looked like an apartment that was made for two people, but he made it his own with his touches to make it more for him. Scanning around, my eyes landed on different parts until they landed on the handsome man in front of us. By Goddess, he was beautiful and all ours. Now, I could understand the heart rate spike she had when she was with him. I looked toward the door and listened in, but no one was outside. Moving slowly from the bed, I got up and slowly, using the bed for support, I walked over to him and stared down. Our mate was all muscle and was completely what we wanted in a mate. Hearing his conversation with his beta, I wanted to know more. What the hell he wanted to talk to that old wolf for? Anger swooped, making my hands clench into a fist. I wanted so badly to kill him. He had a weird mind set about what humans were and how they could harm us. There are more bad wolves than humans in this world, I should know. Shaking my head to get my thoughts in check, I stared at our mate again. I knew I had to climb back into bed soon and let Leah take over. But she needs sleep and rest after the night’s events. Everything I was doing was making sure she was well rested. She was going to need it, being in this pack house. Wonder if mate has told the other pack members who we are to him? My heart raced as I prayed he had told them. It would make this transition into the wolf world better for her, but thinking about it, what if some other wolves had the same beliefs as her grandfather? Then that would make it more difficult. My eyes stayed on our mate for a little while longer. But after a while, I moved back till my legs hit the bed and I fell onto it. I sat there for a few moments, taking every part of him in, as I didn’t know when I would see him again. I wanted him traced into memory. Even though I didn’t know the colour of his eyes, I had to imagine what they looked like till I saw them, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t memorise his features. Something fluttered in my lower parts, he was doing something to me that was for sure. Keeping my eyes on him, I moved from the bed and walked back around the side. I climbed back in and sat there, still staring at him. I wanted to know everything about this man and his wolf—wonder what colour his wolf is to how big was he. His aura reeked of alpha and knowing that made it all so real. We were going to be his Luna. Knowing Leah and watching how she grew up; I know she can be the perfect Luna. I just hope she can show the pack and the ones who may be against her that she is worthy of this position. Letting out a sigh, I lean back onto the bed and close my eyes. My eyes land on Leah, who seems to be okay now. The dream was there. I could still feel it. She may try to figure it out. All I could do was wait, wait until her mother opens up about her kind and then I can take over, take her somewhere away from here to shift. That part was worrying me. Why would the moon goddess want that to happen with Leah, especially on her first shift, of all things? I learned over the last few years that she has her reasons for everything, but some parts have me questioning what it is she is doing with Leah. Why hold her back as a werewolf and let her believe she is a human? Why does she have to be away from the pack to shift? Everything made little sense to me, and I needed answers just as much as Leah did. I move back slightly as I push Leah forward, but not too close. I will let her sleep a little longer, but when I get tired, I will send her back to the front. She will want to know who saved her back in the forest. After another hour went by, I felt my eyes droop. I pushed Leah forward as I rested in the back of her head. I laid down and rested my head on my paws, watching her. Letting an image of our mate flood my mind, I fell into a deep sleep, thinking about him. Knowing the horrors that Leah was seeing, it will all make sense soon, and I will explain it all. I just have to wait for a little longer, till we both get to be with our mate and our own people.
