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

sliding down my slim waist before resting on my still bony hips. It made me wonder what he thought of my appearance, he had called me beautiful but I knew I was far from pretty like he was constantly telling me."A Mrs. Pennies is here to speak with you, Alpha" Paul replied, clearly sensing Adrian's less than happy mood and so directing him as alpha."Uh, what does she want?" I heard him mutter in disdain, my hand snapping out and thumping him on the shoulder before I knew what I was doing."Be nice" I muttered, though my eyes narrowed when I remembered how lustfully her daughter had look at my Adrian. Because he was mine, he was my mate and I wouldn't be stepping aside just to let another girl take my place. I may not be the strongest of people, but I knew that if it came down to it I had enough experience in wolf form that I could give her a run for her money. My thoughts shocked me, stunned me even at how possessive I sounded. But then again Adrian was the only good thing that had ever happened in my life, of course I would protect that as much as I could. It made perfect sense, making me relax when I saw the logical side of things."Fine" Adrian sighed out disgruntled, reaching up to play with a strand of my hair before calling out to Paul once again. "Did she tell you what she wished to speak of?" he asked, although even I could take a guess that it was due to her children's actions the previous night."She informed me that you would be aware, do you want me to ask her?" Paul asked from the other side of the door, clearly sounding nervous."No, it's fine. Direct her to the living room, I'll be down in a few minutes" he stated before the sound of Paul heading back downstairs could be heard due to my sensitive hearing. At first it is more of an annoyance, but after getting used to the perks of being a shifter it came in extremely handy.Directing my gaze back to my mate as he lay on his back on the dark sheets I couldn't help but blush when I took note of how lustfully he was staring at me, his hand moving from my hair to cup my flaming red cheek as he brushed his thumb lightly over my bottom lip causing me to shiver in pleasure. Mm…"Come on" he smiled, hopping out of bed with me still in his arms. I had no choice but to throw my arms around his neck, my legs wrapped tightly around his waist since otherwise I would have hit the floor harshly. I knew though that he would have caught me, I trusted him enough to know that he wouldn't let me fall."Careful" he purred smugly, wrapping an arm around my waist as his other settled against my behind causing me to gasp and him to grin. After a quick shower, one which as far as I was concerned, finished all too quickly I plodded into the bedroom in a towel before digging into my clothes and pulling out a simple light blue dress. I knew that the reason that all I had was dresses was due to me simply being too thin to wear anything else, however it didn't bother me; I liked dresses and they were a hell of a lot better than the rags I used to have to wear as clothing."Are you hungry?" Adrian asked me suddenly as he held my hand, tugging me gently downstairs as we walked past the living room. I was stunned slightly that Adrian utterly ignored Rebecca who had made a move to stand to speak to him, only for Adrian to walk straight past her as he headed into the kitchen."A little, but—" I started, weakly trying to protest as he pulled out a chair for me to sit down on. Was he always this polite?"I'll make you something, do you like toast?" he asked me, already pushing past a few other pack members as he shoved some toast in the toaster. He didn't look happy I took note, he looked…tense."I do, but—" I tried again, not wanting to be on his angry side."Good" he grunted, the pack members that had been present quickly dashing out the kitchen causing me to squirm uncomfortably. I trusted him yes, but I had to admit I didn't like seeing him this way."Are you alright?" I asked nervously, watching as his eyes softened as he turned to face me."Sorry" he apologized, running a hand through his hair while my eyes followed the action. "It's just I wanted today to just be about us, you know maybe go for a walk or something. But now I have to deal with the mother of two brats who need some serious discipline, I mean its ruined my plans for the day!" he growled out. Surprisingly I didn't fear him, his anger wasn't directed at me so why should I? He was just upset with the situation, the fact he had planned to take me on a romantic walk making me smile despite myself. Rising from my seat I made my way over towards him, my arms winding themselves around his waist as I pressed my face against his bare chest as I breathed in his scent. I couldn't help but grin when I felt him calm down with a sigh, wrapping his own arms around me as he pulled me against him.

"We can still go for that walk" I mumbled, actually looking forward to it since the snow looked like it was starting to melt. Hopefully summer wouldn't be that far away; I liked summer.We both stood there until the sound of the bread popping out of the toaster could be heard, Adrian keeping one arm wrapped firmly around me as he used his other to roughly spread them each a slice before pulling me towards the fridge."What do you want on it? Strawberry jam? Blackberry jam? Marmalade…?" he continued to list off ingredients making me smile before reaching for the blackberry jam.Sitting in Adrian's lap I munched on my toast as he ate his, the both of us sitting in silence as I leaned back against his chest. It wasn't long however until he sighed, clearly annoyed beyond belief that our day was being interrupted."Come on" he sighed, helping me to my feet before playfully slapping at my hands when I made a move to clear away our plates. "Leave them.""But, but I need to wash them up" I stated, not understanding what was wrong with me doing so."I'll do it later, we need to get this over with as quickly as possible" he rushed out, making me feel all warm inside when he said 'we' and not I. It was childish, but I couldn't help but grin widely as he took me into the living room where the tension in the room was almost suffocating.Honestly, I felt sorry for the poor woman who I had a feeling was about to get a lecture from Adrian which would leave her feeling more than a little nervous. I mean really it wasn't her fault her children had acted in such disrespect towards their new alpha; hell they only spoke a few words each and had already gotten on his bad side. When you think about it, it was kind of impressive in a suicidal way.***

Holly's Pov

Letting Adrian tug me along into the living room I couldn't resist pressing myself again his side, feeling his arms wrap around my waist as he directed the both of us towards where Rebecca was clearly waiting nervously for my mate’s arrival.I couldn't help but feel slightly guilty about her having to be patient for so long, I mean I hadn't rushed with eating my toast but I knew I could have done. Then again it wasn't like Adrian had been in a hurry either, and I had a feeling that even if I hadn't taken my time to eat my breakfast he still would have waited to see her just to calm himself down.I didn't like seeing him so angry.Licking my suddenly dry lips I stayed close to Adrian as we entered the living room, taking note of the fearful—looking woman who was instantly on her feet when we made our appearance. I knew that she was scared because of Adrian though, I mean I hardly looked threatening did I?Not holding it against her I slipped onto the loveseat next to my mate, pulling my legs up underneath me as I rolled my shoulders to try and reduce the tension that suddenly laid there. I had a feeling it was due to how stuffy the room was, and I suddenly hoped that Adrian did in fact get this meeting over with as quickly as possible."Mrs. Pennies" Adrian greeted in a rough tone, clearly no longer on a first name bases with her. From the widening of her eyes it was clear she had worked that out already."Alpha" she almost whimpered out, my brows pulling together into a frown as I took  note of how vulnerable she looked."What can I do for you?" Adrian asked, successfully gaining a peak on the lips from me. I couldn't help but grin when he seemed to soften his tone when talking to the terrified woman; he deserved a little reward in the shape of a kiss for his efforts."It's about my children…" she stuttered out, finally taking a seat when Adrian gestured her to do so."What about them? I spoke to them yesterday" Adrian sighed out, his hands flexing as one was still wrapped around my waist while his other rested on the armrest. It wasn't hard to tell that he was both angered and frustrated where the conversation was heading."I know, and I apologize for their behavior but something's wrong" she whispered with wide eyes, Adrian actually perking up at this since whether he didn't like them at the moment didn't change the fact that they were in his pack. It only made me love him more."Like…?" he trailed off, clearly concerned."There really agitated, both Sophie and Liam. They keep telling me that they feel really uncomfortable, as if they feel as if they're going to burst out of their skin" she whimpered out, Adrian snorting at her description before slouching back down unconcerned."They are overreacting, it is a simple side effect that is occurring due to them being unable to phase" Adrian stated calmly, Rebecca's eyes flashing with anger but she managed to keep it controlled.
