My Savior Alpha, Jessie Marie [book recommendations website .txt] 📗

almost absently. My purr seemed to shock her out of her daze though, her jump telling me as much as I grinned her way when she looked up at me with wide innocent eyes."You want to go get some breakfast since they’re all gone?" I asked her, though I wasn't going to take no for an answer. She must have sensed this since she nodded slowly before getting up, her cheeks flushing adorably as she took note of my sudden lack of clothing as she looked anywhere but at me. I chuckled, she was just too adorable.Grabbing a pair of silk sleep pants I quickly tugged them on, deciding not to bother with a shirt since she didn't seem uncomfortable around me. Shy of course, but not uncomfortable."Come on then sweetheart" I grinned as I cautiously reached for her hand, my grin only widening when she quickly latched on and held me tightly. Now this was the life.Making our way down to the kitchen I couldn't wipe the smile off her face even if I tried to, the sound of her feet pattering on the floor as she plodded behind me making me have to resist a full—out grin. I couldn't help it, never had I felt so relaxed and happy as I did when I was with her.   Chapter 31

 "Where's our cake?" her small voice filtered into my hearing, my wolf purring as I turned to face her before glancing at the table with a snort."It seems the pack got hungry" I stated as I took note that the tray had been cleaned and put back on the centre of the table, minus the cake of course. I couldn't help but shake my head, seeing Holly tilt her head to the side before shrugging. I hated to admit it but I was glad she didn't seem upset by it, but then again it was only a cake but I would be having words with the pack later. Honestly, I had wanted a piece and they didn't even think to save us any. Greedy pigs, the lot of them."Oh" was all she seemed to say, looking at her utterly adorable self as she tightened her grip on my hand much to my enjoyment."So what do you fancy?" I asked her as I tugged her along to the fridge, opening it to see what we could work with. I wasn't a brilliant cook, but my mother had taught me the basics before she had passed and for that I was more than a little thankful."I don't mind" was her vague reply, it causing me to frown before she spoke up. "Can I cook?" she asked hopefully, my brows rising but I couldn't deny her, not with the hope in her tone. Well that was what I was telling myself anyway; honestly I simply wanted to taste her cooking. Her cake had looked and smelled incredible, plus it might be the perfect opportunity to get her to open up to me more."Sure" I grinned, causing her to smile brightly as she moved to look inside. I knew I had made the right choice the moment her eyes had lit up, hell if my mate wanted to cook then my mate would cook.Leaning against the counter I watched as she worked, taken aback with how skilled she seemed to be in the kitchen as she seemed to move with shaky grace. I frowned, not liking her overexerting herself but I didn't have the heart to stop her from doing something she obviously took pleasure in."Sleep well, sweetheart?" I asked her, wanting, no needing the conversation as she seemed to tense slightly before flushing at least ten shades of red. I tried not to smirk, not wanting to make her even more embarrassed over something that had had my wolf panting and me nearly moaning out loud."Yes, thank you" she blushed, looking as adorable as usual."I like you sleeping in my bed, with me" I confessed before I could stop myself, expecting her to tense but all that happened was her blush deepened making her look more than a little flushed. I grinned."Me too" I heard her admit, her own confession making me beam so wide that I could feel the strain of it in my cheek muscles. Watching her I couldn't help but stare, her long legs looking incredible in my boxers as she didn't seem to notice my staring. I couldn't resist, she looked so appealing to me that I couldn't help but have to move to take a seat at the table as to hide just how excited I was by her appearance. She didn't look her best that much was clear due to her being unhealthy, but I couldn't help but imagine what she would look like when she got some meat on her bones and I almost moaned out loud at the thought of it. Incredible."So do you want to do something today, sweetheart?" I asked her as I leaned my elbows on the table, not taking my eyes off her as she worked away. It wasn't long until the scent of food filtered into my senses; I almost leaped out of my seat as to see what she was up to."Like what?" she asked softly before a plate appeared in front of me, this time a groan falling from my lips as I took in what my mate had made me. Fuck. She had made what looked to be a round of grilled cheese toast with an assortment of fried tomatoes, bacon and egg. It was heaven on a plate."Where's yours?" I asked, my mood damping when I took note of my mate sitting on the opposite side of the table with nothing but a glass of water. I stared at her, there was no way on earth that she was not eating. I needed to fatten her up, not having her wasting away!"I'm—" she started but I cut her off before she could finish her sentence."Don't say you're not hungry because I know you are, here" I told her as I grabbed another plate and shoved half of my food onto it, needing her to at least eat something."I'm really fine" she protested, but I didn’t have any of it as I pushed the plate in front of her."Please, for me" I stated, knowing that it was a low blow but needing her to eat something. Thankfully I didn't have to feel guilty for too long, since she slowly started on a piece of grilled cheese toast as she started to pick at it and much to my relief eating it. "Thank you" I breathed with a smile, gaining one in return as I did so. I was going to enjoy spending the day with her, that much was clear.  

 

chapter 32

 Adrian's Pov

After we had both finished eating we had made ourselves comfy in my room, both of us snuggled up together on my bed and I couldn't help but find that I had never been happier. Just having her in my arms, so close to me was enough for my wolf to settle down completely which effectively let me relax. I loved it.Currently Holly seemed to be in her own little world as she stared at the television on the opposite wall facing my bed, her small body leaning against me as my paperwork was spread out on the sheets. Unfortunately, however much I wanted to I couldn't afford to let my alpha duties drop, but I found having my mate here helped prevent me from becoming stressed like I usually did when I sorted out this sort of thing. Yet another perk to add to the list.With a smile constantly on my face I flickered through the number of papers as my eyes scanned them over before I made slight changes when needed, my mate giggling at the comedy I had put on as I did so. She seemed entranced by it, her eyes never leaving the screen as she crossed her legs in front of her as she stared at the screen animatedly."Good I take it?" I asked her with a cheesy grin, having to give her shoulder a slight bump with my own to gain her attention. "Hum?" was the reply I got, the fact she seemed so comfortable around me making me grin."I asked if it was good" I repeated for her benefit, not being able to help the chuckle as it fell from my lips as I shot her a wink when she looked at me. The result was a bright blush appearing on her cheeks, it only making her look even more adorable as I found myself shifting slightly to get closer to her before I realized what I was doing."Yea, it's alright" was her mumbled reply, chewing on her bottom lip as she had me yet again entranced. If I didn't know that it was obvious that my mate wasn't doing it on purpose I would have called her a tease, but I knew my mate was far too innocent in that aspect to be one."How would you feel about meeting my pack?" I asked her after a few minutes, wincing when I took note of her form tensing as she tried to look anywhere but at me. I knew it was a lot to ask of her, but my pack would never even think of hurting her or making her feel uncomfortable in any way; they knew that if they did then there would be extremely harsh consequences.When I didn't get a reply I dropped the pile of documents that had previously been in my hand as I turned my sole attention on her, taking note that while her eyes were staring at the screen in front of her it was clear that the comedy had been forgotten about. To be honest she looked as if she was in deep thought."Holly?" I said softly, regretting my decision to bring it up but not taking it back just yet. If it really did start to upset her then I would stop pushing, but I had my fingers crossed that she would be alright with it as long as I never removed myself from her side."I'm sorry" was all she said, her tone soft as she didn't look at me.It was then I took note that her form was shaking, my wolf whimpering in displeasure as I took note of her holding her hands tightly together in her lap
