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

amber eyes to look at me through a sleepy gaze."What?""I have to go see the brats in an hour or two, you can sleep some more or come?" I offered, my legs stretched out in front of me as I stared down at her still half—dazed form.I watched her frown. "You really shouldn't call them that" she scolded almost playfully. I shrugged."I give them respect when they give it to me. It goes both ways you know" I winked, seeing her roll her eyes which pleased me a hell of a lot. To know that she was getting more and more comfortable in her new and permanent home was just….it was amazing. It made being her mate all the more special to me."Just mind you don't say that in front of their mum" she continued to frown as she pulled herself upright."I already have," I admitted."When?""When she came around accusing me of hurting them," I scoffed. "They wouldn't know hurt if it bit them in the arse.""When did she come around?" Holly asked confused. "You were still sleeping," I thought back. "It was a short visit, nothing too lengthy.""Oh.""So what do you want to do? It's up to you" I told her, pulling myself upright before moving to my wardrobe to pull a shirt over my head. I smirked when I saw her frown at my action from the corner of my eye, a flush on her features as her gaze seemed to rake over my shiftless form before the fabric covered my skin from her greedy little eyes.I loved it when she did that!She seemed to think it over for a few minutes before holding out her hands, hinting at me to pull her up. I grinned."I'll come if that's alright?" she asked nervously, my nodding instant."Oh thank god" I murmured, pulling her against me as I nuzzled my face in her neck. I didn't know what I would have done if she had wanted to stay. Mope most probably. Be in an even grumpier mood, most definitely."I don't like being away from you," I heard her mutter, almost to herself. "You make me feel safe."I didn't think she realized just how much it pulled at my heart strings when she spoke in sentences like that one. How was it possible that she put so much love, so much adoration and hope, into her tone?"I love you" I told her, realizing that I hadn't actually said it enough. I frowned at the thought; she needed to hear it daily as far as I was concerned.It was quiet for a few moments I felt my breath catch in my throat. I was just about to tell her that she didn't have to say it back, that it wasn't necessary since I loved her all the same, when she cut me off before I could."I…I love you too" she murmured in that soft tone of hers.  I felt my whole face light up at her words, my arms tightening around her much smaller form as I pulled her close."I love you" I repeated in a grin.Hearing her giggle I bent down to press my lips against her own, lowering her so her back was against the sheets of my bed as I hovered over her.Making sure that I didn't put too much weight on her delicate little body I rested my elbows either side of her head, my lips moving against hers in a rhythmic manner. Even so I couldn't help but grin; even if I tried to I couldn't wipe it from my lips."Make love to me" I heard her murmur against my lips as her arms wrapped around my neck, her fingers playing with the hair on the nape of my neck.With that request I knew everything in my life was perfect. She was perfect. I had certainly been blessed by the mating spirits that were for sure.

Holly's POV

"You look fine" Adrian told me for the third time in the past five minutes as I tugged at the bottom of my dress. It was a pretty dress I thought, a light peachy pink that came to just the tops of my thighs and flared out slightly at the waist."Is it cold out?" I asked nervously, pulling on a pair of thermal tights as I sat on the edge of the already made bed. I flushed as I remembered what my mate had done to me only a few moments ago.Clearly knowing what had caused my blush he smirked, shooting me a wink causing me to huff."Cheer up sweetheart" was all he sniggered. "But what your wearing should be ok, we'll be inside and the snows already starting to melt" he told me in all seriousness causing me to nod. I trusted his judgement completely."If you say so,"With that I tugged on my pea—green coat before grabbing his hand as he held it outstretched for me, my fingers curling around his own as he tugged me close gently.It didn't take us long to arrive at the familiar—looking house, Adrian turning off the car as he parked in the drive before a small growl rumbled out of his throat from his chest. I turned to face him, confused."What's wrong?" I asked nervously, thinking something was up."They had better no start anything, I am not in the mood" he grunted out.At that I frowned. "I thought you would be happy after this morning?" I tilted my head to the side before flushing at my boldness. "I mean…" I stopped when he suddenly burst out in a throaty chuckle, the fact my wolf purred deliciously at the sound the only reason I wasn't bright with embarrassment."You made me very happy this morning," he grinned broadly making me squirm under his bright—eyed gaze. "It's just, I don't want it to be ruined by two pathetic pups who don't know how to obey!" he scowled."But you're meant to teach them, yes?""I am, and I will. But they have to want to be taught, sweetie" he explained, though not in a patronising manner which I was thankful for. "When it comes to pups likes these, over arrogant and cocky it isn't safe to have them running wild" he added.Chewing on my bottom lip I nodded, thinking it over before realizing that it made sense. I pecked him on the cheek in thanks, for not only sharing his thoughts on the matter at hand but for being patient with me."Shall we go in?" he asked causing me to nod.Adrian ran around to open my door, me not having time to do so myself before he was standing next to me. I grabbed his hand as he helped me out. I wasn't as shaky on my legs any more, hadn't been for a while now, but that didn't mean my legs could give out on me all of a sudden out of nowhere. Not to mention since Adrian's panic that something was wrong with me he was being incredibly cautious. I found it sweet, but I wasn't worried. I felt fine really.Heading to the door Adrian firmly knocked, it only being a few seconds before the door opened revealing Rebecca who looked incredibly nervous. She must have been staring at the car outside from the moment we arrived; I wouldn't have put it past her when I caught sight of her expression.I smiled, trying to ease her nerves but I did didn't think it worked."Alpha" Rebecca nodded, quickly fully opening the door. "Please come in."Nodding I watched intrigued as Adrian had schooled his features into a stern expression, though as soon as she turned to head back inside he turned to shoot me a wink. I was fascinated by how easily his features lapsed into a soft expression, his eyes full of enough adoration that I couldn't help but press my face into his chest as I wrapped my arms around his waist."I love you" I whispered, still shocked at how the words sounded coming from my mouth. It was strange, but a good strange.I felt his emotional reaction through our bond, how much he felt about me making me almost tear up."I love you too, sweetheart" he murmured, his lips pressing against the crown of my head causing me to sigh in content.I didn't know how long we stood there until I felt Adrian wrap his arm around my waist and pull me close to his side, leading us into the familiar house before shutting the door gently behind us.Back to business then I guess. I didn't mind, I found it all interesting since my old pack – if you could even call them that – had never let me get involved in any of the mechanics of how to run a pack. I was learning so much already. It was nice.Walking into the living room I immediately felt Adrian stiffen at the sight of both Sophie and Liam sitting on the couch, both frustrated and nervous expressions on their faces. I also felt it as Adrian pulled me closer against him almost protectively, possessively.It was tense for exactly twelve seconds before Rebecca seemed to nervously break the tension.

 

 

 

Chapter 84

 

"Liam, Sophie, this is Adrian" she introduced nervously. It was clear she had previously remembered that our last visit hadn't even gotten to introductions before they had successfully pissed him off. "This is our alpha, and this is…oh god, I am so sorry I forgot your name" she blurted out trembling.I felt Adrian's hand clench against where it was resting against my thigh, us having finally taken a seat. "It's Holly" I quickly cut in before Adrian could come up with some crass comment. I could tell it annoyed him that she had forgotten, and once again I found it sweet how willing he was to stand up for me."Of course, and this is Holly, his mate" she stated in a clear, warning tone towards both her son and daughter. They looked like a pair of kids caught with their hand stuck in a cookie jar."It's nice to meet you, sir" the female spoke in a polite but forced tone."And you ma'am" the boy cut in, making me shift uncomfortably at how his eyes focused on my legs.I didn't like it. I didn't like attention, never had and never will and unless it was Adrian, my mate who I loved and trusted, who looked at me in such a way it made me want to do nothing more but to run and hide. It seemed
