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

up to my mate would never get old I thought with a smile. I liked it when she was the first thing I smelled, touched and felt as I opened my eyes in the morning. It brightened up my day and put me in a good mood which only seemed to continue throughout. Like I said, loved it. Curling myself around her I pulled her tighter against me, my hand around her small waist as I spooned up behind her. I could sense that she was still asleep, curled under the covers as she tried to keep herself cozy and warm. I smiled at her despite myself. It wasn't until I realized I was circling the skin of her stomach with my fingertips however that I realized it wouldn't be long until I would have the perfect family, my mate at my side and a pup who I would spoil rotten and protect until my last breathe. The thought was appealing enough that I couldn't help but continue to lightly touch the soft skin of her stomach. I couldn't wait. Being werewolves our females did not carry the pup for as long of a time as humans did, honestly the whole nine months seemed like far too long to wait until a child had grown enough to be born. I scowled at the thought. Our species were different in that pups grew at a speedier rate in the womb, and while each female was slightly different it was nowhere near nine months. Only the female carrying the child would know when the time would be soon. I knew because of that I couldn't hold off telling her. When I had asked her last night on her thoughts of having children with me it had been a big relief to find that while she hadn't thought about it she didn't seem put off at the idea in the slightest. But, how would she react when I told her? It wouldn't be long until she figured it out on her own and I knew if she did she would panic which was the last thing I wanted. She couldn't be under any extra stress and I definitely did not want to be the cause. Pressing a kiss to the side of her neck, her skin smooth to the touch, I reluctantly pulled myself away from her. Smiling as I watched her roll over as if reaching for me I pulled the covers up further around her before hurriedly shrugging on a pair of loose pajama pants. There was no need to wake her when I had to sort some things out, she needed her rest and she was not a morning person in the slightest.Running fingers through my hair I gave her one last longing look before heading down the stairs, making sure to close the bedroom door behind me. She did not need to be disturbed. Heading towards the kitchen I was instantly hit with the smell of my mate’s cooking. It was distinctive, she was talented after all."What are you doing?" I asked amused when I caught sight of Jake in the kitchen. I smirked when I saw he wasn't alone. "I did not realize you had spent the night, Annie."I knew before I spoke that it would make her uncomfortable, and I was right, but it was more than a tad amusing to say the least. As predicted she flushed brightly, shifting closer to Jake who looked sheepish. "I—I,…" she stuttered. "I didn't think it would be a problem—I mean Jake—""Adrian's joking, babe" Jake took pity on his mate. Chapter 93

Barking out a laugh I soon discovered the reason it smelled of my mates cooking even though she was still in bed. Holly tended to make things before either freezing them or putting them in the fridge so they could simply be heated up. Most of the male members of the pack didn't really have time to put in the time and effort if they were between patrols or had one before or after school. There just wasn't time and it worked out perfectly since it took a matter of minutes to make before they could eat and head out. They all took advantage of it."Jake is aware of the rules," I spoke calmly as I headed over towards the fridge to find something for Holly when she woke up. She needed to eat more Lisa had said and I intended to make sure she did. "He is allowed his girlfriend over."Really the males of the pack were only allowed their mates over, even if they were not aware of how they were bonded to them yet. I did not want a bunch of humans cluttering up my home nor poking their noses in our business. What if a pack member was angered and phased? It was simply not worth the risk."Urm…."Ignoring the human for the minute I decided that the best thing for Holly would be simple oats of some sort. I knew she wasn't fussy and it pained me that she wouldn't say something even if she didn't like it, but I would be able to judge her reaction if she didn't."How's Holly feeling?"Hearing Jake’s question I smiled at his concern. "She is as well as can be," I told him before lowering my tone so only he could pick up on my words. "There will be a pack meeting tomorrow night, do not make any plans.""Ok Alpha," he spoke in a tone just as low before turning back to his mate. I decided that I needed to come clean to Holly as soon as possible before telling the pack that they needed to be even more careful around her, that her delicate state was about to get even more vulnerable. It needed to be said. I was broken out of my thoughts when a familiar scent hit my senses, instantly igniting my wolf. I had not forgotten how they had dared to not only insult my mate, but to kick her when they thought I would not know. Where they really that stupid? That foolish? That suicidal? What was wrong with them? Sensing that things were about to get bad Jake hurriedly asked if he could leave, which I nodded to without a second thought. He needed to get his mate out of here before she saw something Jake wasn't ready for her to see. Hearing him make his excuses he tugged her girl towards the door before he was cut short when the two brats made an appearance., snorting and laughing with either other making me scowl. It was when they caught sight of a suddenly nervous Annie that I saw their minds whirling, Jake shooting me a panicked look since it was as clear as day what they were about to do."Liam! Sophie! You will not open your traps!" I boomed out, starling the human as I narrowed my eyes at the two twins in front of me. "You and I are going to have a very long, very stern talk and you will sit down and you will listen!"Having realized Annie was more than a tad scared Jake muttered a thank you before slipping past the suddenly nervous—looking twins. Good, they should be worried."Sit!" Watching them I made sure they did just that before I moved to lean against the counter opposite them, arms across my chest as I narrowed my eyes at them.  "Adrian—""Alpha" I cut off Sophie as she began to speak. "I am your alpha and you will address me as such.""But they don't" she protested like a fool. I knew what she was speaking of, the fact that only on rare occasions that the rest of the pack did in fact called me by my given title. I did not mind, I didn't really have a preference but it seemed I would need to go back to basics with these two which was something I hadn't had to do in a while."They have earned the right to have some freedom, you two however, have not."Feeling warmth run through me I smiled briefly as I felt my mate stir slightly in her sleep, waking up for a matter of seconds before she was nodding off again with a mutter of my name on her lips. It was adorable.I turned my attention back to the cubs, suddenly serious again. "What you did to my mate is an offense I could have your throat for.""What—""You not only insulted my mate, but you dared to lay a hand on her!" I practically snarled out through clenched teeth. "Do you seriously think that there would be no consequences for your actions?"I knew instantly from their expressions that they had not. I rolled my eyes at their naïve natures."You will no longer be able to phase, you do not have the right to. The only reason you are not laying at my feet soaked in blood is that my father always believed when it came to children of the pack they deserved a second chance. Do not waste it! For now you will be escorted to and from school by one of the pack, you will be grounded and banned from leaving the pack home unless it has been cleared by myself."I finished with narrowed eyes. It was about time they finally realized just how serious I was. If they stepped out of line one more time than that was it. I was done with them.

Adrian's Pov

I didn't let up as I continued to stare down the two brats as the pair of them shivered in fear. I didn't care, not in the slightest. They had brought this on themselves. It was fair to say that I hadn't had such an issue with the rest of my pack. I mean sure at the beginning some of them tested my patience and authority, but their attitude didn't last long when I had reminded them of my superiority over them. When it came to the two teens in front of me however I knew I could no longer be so soft on them. It clearly wasn't working and at the moment they were a danger to my mate which was completely unacceptable. They would be lucky if I didn't simply kick them out. But it turned out to be the memory of my father telling me that everyone deserved somewhat of a second change that I was prepared to offer it to them, even if I thought
