~Blake~~
Today has been boring so far, with nothing to do. Nothing interesting to engage in. The staff quarters were busier, and I missed cooking! Ever since Alexander claimed I was his mate, he hadn't let me out of his sight. He kept asking if I could feel anything between us, so much that I really wished I did. He was a jade beauty. I also felt guilty for ruining Henry's wedding.
Riley had it hot with me, too. After seven days, they didn't confirm if Alexander was my mate; we were going back to Warren City. Her voice is still in my head.
"You had better marry one of those suitors. You're not destined to have a mate." Her words were bitter and painful! But I refused to cry. Lilly apparently told Liam a few days ago that their mom had accepted a potential suitor when she requested to see him. In addition, she also told him that when we returned to Warren City, I would get married.
I was restless and needed to clear my head, so I took a walk. I didn't even know where I was walking. It was 6 am. I suddenly realized that ten guys had surrounded me. It was like they were waiting for me. Among them, four held me and I struggled to escape, wiping my eyes as I did so.
"Stay still or I will break your arm," one of them growled, and I stiffened.
One of them held my thigh, twisted my ankle, and another punched my head. I let out the loudest scream I could muster! It wasn't long before I heard footsteps... Steps that were steady and approaching. I heard a scream from behind. I turned and saw Alexander yank someone's head off. He was angry, fast and feisty!
I felt comfortable around him. I was lost in his eyes when one guy hit my head with god knows what and I screamed. Alexander heard me scream and growl. He reacted swiftly and cut the guy's head in two.
I heard Alexander's voice in the distance, but I couldn't move. He looked down at me with genuine worry before everything turned to blank.
I opened my eyes slowly. I felt a tremendous pounding on my head that caused me to wince. It wasn't long before I realized I was not in my room as they sprawled me out on the bed. Alexander was holding my hand when I turned to my left. He seemed asleep. There was no way of getting out. I shook my head softly, holding my head with my free hand. I needed to get out of here and didn't want to wake him. He looked so peaceful, sleeping with his long eyelashes.
I gently pulled my hand from his grasp and got up, only to find my foot heavily wrapped in gauze! As I tried to get up, I stumbled against the wall... I froze. Hopefully, I didn't wake him.
Blake, I immediately felt Alexander's arm around me, trying to help me up.
Let go of me. I can stand on my own. I reacted, trying to pull myself away from him as quickly as possible.
There is no way you will leave this room until you are feeling better. He grinned.
Let me go now, I growled, and he seemed to loosen his grip. The moment I wanted to move away from him, I almost fell down. As he held me against his chest, his grip on me was stronger this time. The way he held me so close made me feel safe in his arms, like nothing could go wrong and I could just melt into him and be happy. His head resting on my shoulder, my stomach growled softly, causing Alexander to jump a bit.
"I'm sorry," I said softly, blushing from embarrassment.
~Alexander~~
Alexander, my name sounded so different when he said it, it sounded erotic; I felt my cheeks warm up. He wet his lips and slowly met my gaze. He leaned in to kiss me. "I want you so badly," he whispered. I groaned into his mouth and his hands slid down my stomach. And that was when I woke up, panting, sweating. I sat up and looked at the door, face palming. What the fuck just happened?
Thinking of how he called my name in my dream was erotic. I was reliving the sweet experience when I heard my wolf's scream within me, trying to get control of me. "My Mate is in trouble!"
But I wouldn't let him!
I ran to where his scent was and saw four guys holding him. He was whimpering. I had never felt anger like that before. I tore their heads off.
It surprised me to see Dylan Caleb, my beta!
Hearing my mate scream caused my wolf to fall apart. I pulled the frail body against mine, hugging him close. I felt him relax and looked at him. He looked so handsome. I quickly rushed to the palace...
There was no actual damage, just a slight concussion. His ankle was also only sprained, so he would have to stay off that for a while until it healed. The sight of Blake lying down with bandages around his ankle and around his head caused my wolf to whimper a bit.
"So he'll be okay?" I asked as I settled myself next to him on the bed! Cradling his hands.
Yes, Alpha, he just bumped his head a bit. I'm sure he'll wake up any minute, the doctor said.
Nodding, I stared at his peaceful face. At that moment, I felt my wolf whimper as I laid my head on the pillow next to his. The doctor left the room, closing the door behind him, leaving me with Blake alone...
"I'm sorry, Blake," I whispered softly, kissing his forehead. "No matter what others say... You are my mate and I will never leave you... I will protect you with my life." I drifted to sleep with my mate's intoxicating scent all around me....
I was at peace.
I heard a sound and immediately jerked off!
Blake!
He was resting on the wall. I wrapped my arms around him and picked him up. My wolf groaned as I felt the connection between our bodies.
"Let go, I can stand on my own," he said.
I placed him on the bed.
You are not leaving this room until you get better. Alpha's order, I growled softly!
"Let me go," he growled again. I left him and he staggered back, and I quickly grabbed him, holding him close to my chest. He leaned into me.
"Damn sparks!! Why do you have to be so pleasurable?"
I rested my head on his shoulders when his stomach growled; I jumped slightly, which made him apologise.
"It's okay. Let's get you some food." I got behind him and scooped him into my arms in bridal style and then took him to the dining.
