Chapter 54
"Sorry" I told her, giving her a few more quick kisses before pulling away with a scowl. The last thing I wanted was to leave my mate when she smelt so delectable but Paul wouldn't have disturbed me if it wasn't necessary. I sighed again, dramatically this time."It's ok" Holly breathed softly, her hands moving to my face as her fingers pressed against my cheeks as she smiled softly."I'll only take a few minutes" I told her, adding 'hopefully' in my head as I smiled in her direction.Giving her one more kiss on the lips, not being able to help myself I reluctantly got out of bed before stretching. Feeling my back muscles pull with the strain I didn't bother to get dressed as I headed towards the door, looking back to see my mate curled up in the sheets as she watched me leave with those big eyes of hers.I so hated Paul right now.Walking down the stairs after shutting my bedroom door lightly I ignored the curiously faces of some of the pack who looked out of their own rooms, giving them a glare which had them instantly diverting their attention. I was not in the mood."Paul!" I called as I reached the ground floor, the flustered sight of my beta quickly coming into view with my call. To say he looked nervous would be an understatement."Look alpha—" he started but I cut him off."Just tell me what the problem is" I scowled as I leaned against the door frame, crossing my arms across my chest in what I guessed to be a threatening pose."Apparently, urm…" Paul stuttered causing me to raise a brow. "Look it's not my fault you've suddenly gone back to scaring the shit
out of me when you look at me like that" Paul rambled nervously."Paul" I warned, not in the mood for his stalling."Ok, ok" he sighed, running a hand through his hair before facing me. "There's a nearby pack that's collapsing rapidly, as in like the alpha doesn't have a clue in what he's doing" Paul explained causing me to frown.It wouldn't be the first time it happened, an alpha not being up for the job of leading a pack and it falling apart. The only way in which it can be saved is for another alpha to take over, to lead it back to its old self. Only then would the alpha decided whether to return control or not to the previous pack leader. It was a long process that most would shield away from if need be."So?" I asked with a shrug, not wanting to bother with some other pack. Call me heartless but I didn't want the fuss, I had enough on my plate at the moment as well as not wanting to put Holly in a stressful situation. She had been through enough already, introducing her to another pack while she was still so edgy around mine wasn't on my to—do list."Look I know now might not be the right time to—" he started but I cut him off."It isn't" I scowled."I know but—""Why are you pushing this?" I asked him curiously. It wasn't like he knew many people from other packs, I mean we tended to keep to ourselves so why he was telling me this was beyond me. "And why didn't I hear about it first?" I added with a scowl, I was the god damn alpha after all."I heard about it from the elders, apparently it's well—known news that the pack isn't doing well. Come on Adrian, you know that you would have it whipped into shape in no time" he continued to try and convince me causing me to frown."Again, why are you pushing this?" I asked with a scowl. Why would he want the extra responsibility that it would bring on him as well as myself. He was my beta after all."My mother asked me to have a word with you, you know how she feels about pack’s struggling" he confessed, flushing with embarrassment with his comment. I knew he was telling the truth, his mother hated to see people suffer and I thanked God that she didn't how bad Holly's life had been since we would have never gotten rid of the woman. She was nice, but enough was enough."Look Paul, Holly…" I trailed off. It wasn't that I wouldn't be able to help out another pack, but Holly was my main concern at the minute and that would never change.Looking at Paul's expression I could tell he hadn't even considered the delicateness of my mate when he agreed to his mother's strange but not surprising request, his eyes widening before flashing with shame."I am so sorry Adrian, I didn't even—" he sighed. Like a lot of the packmates they had grown incredibly fond of Holly even when she acted edgy around them at times. "Forget I even asked" he continued, though I could tell he felt bad about failing to achieve his mother's wish. At this I sighed."I'll think it over" I caved, seeing him shoot me a relieved and thankful look before nodding quickly."Thanks mate; seriously just that will get my mum off my back" he stated before heading out the door, clearing leaving to tell his mother the good news.With a sigh on my lips I quickly made my way back up the steps of the stairs, taking them two at a time in my hurry. I couldn't help it, the sooner I got back to my mate the better was all I could think as I headed back towards my room where Holly was waiting. I grinned, looking forward to finishing what we had started this morning.
Chapter 55
You Adrian's Pov
Leaning up against my pillows, Holly head resting on my chest I couldn't help but watch her closely. She had asked if we could watch a film and since I couldn't deny her anything here I was sitting on my bed with the movie 'Finding Nemo' playing. At first I couldn't believe she hadn't seen such a classic film, but then again it wasn't like she had much of a childhood with that dreadful pack she was brought up in.Fighting back a sigh I had taken to simply watching her, her lips still swollen from our heavy kisses as a light sheen of sweat covered both her form and mine. We hadn't gone past making out but it was more than enough to get my heart racing, my back arching and my toes
