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

dirt, but the extent of it made a growl rumble from my chest. When I found out who had hurt her in such a way, they were as good as dead. I think it was safe to say the rest of the pack had the same train of thought completely. Unfortunately for Sophie she didn't seem to grasp onto just how protective everyone was of their alpha female."Do you really expect me to believe that?" she scoffed."Adrian," Holly whispered pleadingly when I made a move to lunge for the throat. Turning to Sophie she simply stared at her. "Do you want me to show you?"My eyes widened at that, my mouth opening to protest before I thought about how Lisa had mentioned phasing would be good for my mate. But would the stress of those memories being pushed to the forefront of her mind be too much stress?  For once in my life, I doubted my thoughts but then again it was only now that I had something worth protecting to furiously. She was my everything, and I couldn't afford to make any mistakes concerning her.

Holly's Pov

"Ah!" Cries left her throat, her attempt at keeping them quiet as not to give them the satisfaction of an effort which wasn't working in the slightest. Pain filled her, drowning out her other emotions as she squirmed and whined while trying to escape the painfully tight grasp her own brother held on her wrist.Faces blended together, features not identifiable but she knew who it was, the person who was causing her to feel such red hot agony. The fact it was her own kin, her bloodline who was torturing her like they were was enough to make her want to gag at the thought. It wasn't new to her which made it worse. She should have been used to being treated in such a manner, and yet it still hurt to that very day."Pathetic. Not worthy to carry our name. Disgusting."Over and over again it was repeated, flooding her mind with facts she already knew were true. She had been told it enough to have it hammered into her head after all.A kick to the side was next, harsh and sharp against her fragile ribs that bore the brunt of the force.A smack in the face followed afterwards, nails scratching at her skin before they forced her onto her knees in a forcefully submissive pose. She would never do it voluntarily, not when she held no trust for any of her pack. Fingers roughly gripped at the strands of her hair, pulling it at the roots as she tried not to cry out at the sharp stab of pain. It was familiar, but not a sensation that someone ever got used to. She had managed to learn to close off her mind, to muffle the emotional agony but when it came to the rough treatment she had to endure  it as a human would, as another wolf would have to."Aren't you going to beg?" he snarled. "Open that sinful mouth and beg me to let you go, go on."Fire spread through her scalp but it soon seemed like a mere inconvenience when she felt his nail’s length in her shoulder, her scream ripping through the air as he dragged it deeply through her skin causing it to tear terribly.The sad thing was, she knew this was only the beginning of a day from hell. Memories after memories flooded through my head as I remembered how my new pack was so drastically different when compared to my old one, if I could even call them a pack. The relief I felt was clear, how loved and cared for Adrian made me feel as he showed me daily how much he desired and wanted me. He was my everything and I knew he would only continue to prove that to me for the years to come. I would be his for as long as he would have me. The unexpectedness of my past flashing through my head like a motion picture didn't help with my first plans of only showing the young pups a few instances, the less violent ones at that. What I hadn't planned on was getting carried away, lost in my past memories and only being broken out of it by their loud keens of what I guessed to be fear. Perhaps this had not been the best idea.I wouldn't have stepped in had it not been for my wolves’ insistence that as his mate I should stand by his side, and clearly Adrian was having difficulty with getting the kids to understand. I didn't fault his leading skills, not at all, but if my wolf wanted to help then I would not deny her.Slumping on my belly in my wolf form I was startled when I heard the low keening from my mate, my large head snapping around only to see him shift mid—air before he pranced over towards me with concern clearly present in his dark eyes."You ok, baby?" he spoke through the mind link, his inner voice making my wolf purr in pure delight at the soft and husky tone directed towards her. It was delicious.I tilted my head to the side, curious as to why his eyes seemed to flicker towards my stomach. It confused me, but not enough for me to dwell on it for long."You didn't have to do that, sweetheart."His muzzle brushed against mine as he ignored the trembling kids who were hugging Laura and Lilly as if their lives depended on it. I didn't deny the fact they needed comforting because they probably did. It wasn't every day you saw the past of such a damaged wolf such as myself."I'm tired," I found myself yawning, unintentionally displacing my full set of sharp canines. I didn't know the reason why I seemed to be so drowsy lately, especially since I thought I was meant to be getting better.What did Lisa say to Adrian exactly? I knew that if it was serious he would have told me. I didn't trust nor have a lot of faith in many people but I trusted Adrian with everything I held dear to me. If he thought it was best to keep it from me then I trusted his judgment.I only hoped once I found out I wouldn't resent him for it.It was unlikely but possible, but wanting to put those types of thoughts out of my head I concentrated on the way my mate’s fur felt against my own as he pressed his much larger form flush against me.Feeling his heartbeat pumping against me like the repetitive beating of a drum I allowed myself to be lulled into a gentle sleep. The pack house was located in such a way that if you didn't know where it was exactly, then the likelihood of someone finding it, especially a human, was extremely low.

Someone would wake me up if it was necessary. Slowly letting my eyelids droop I was vaguely aware of Adrian very gently pressing his nose against my side, giving me the slightest of pushes. I got the hit, rolling over onto my side as I lazily stretched out before I was out like a light.When I woke up I smiled when I felt the familiar brush of fur pressed firmly against me. He hadn't left I thought with a loving sense of being protected as I shifted to alert him to the fact I was no longer asleep, even if I did feel a tad on the sleepy side still."You feel better?" he huffed happily, his large tongue lolling out of his mouth in a playful way that had me giggling. Nodding I made a move to rise onto my four legs, shaking slightly as I tried to gain my balance. I would have fallen if it hadn't been for my concerned mate having his nose pressed firmly against my side, keeping me upright. What was wrong with me? Locating a soft yellow dress which I recognized as one of the items Adrian had brought me I cautiously took a few steps, my mate by my side, before I totted over to the clothes someone had clearly laid out for us as soon as I realized I was stable. It was a nice thought, one I appreciated."You hungry, baby?" I heard Adrian murmur as he wrapped his arms loosely around my lower waist, smiling against me as I tied the soft wrap around my waist to keep the dress intact. Thinking about it I nodded, "a little."As soon as the words had left my mouth he had me swept into his arms, carrying me into the pack house before he had me sitting on a cushioned chair before I could even think to open my mouth. I blushed. "I could have walked," I felt the need to point out. Adrian shrugged. "I know, but I like doing things for you" he winked causing me to smile wider. While I allowed my mate to tend to my needs, secretly liking the attention, I let myself get lost in my thoughts. I knew something had to be seriously wrong, or at least different, due to the exhaustion I had been experiencing all of a sudden. It was even more concerning since I had thought I had already gotten past this."Adrian?"Catching his attention I focused on his wide smile and twinkling eyes as he turned to face me, not liking the way his mood seemed to lesson when he caught sight of my expression. I had to look concerned, or at least worried."What is it sweetheart?"Fiddling with my fingers I fought the urge to shy aware from him as I managed to build up the courage to ask him what had been on my mind since we had gone to see Lisa."What's wrong with me?" *** Adrian's Pov  'What's wrong with me?'My mate’s question caught me off guard, the soup I had planned on making her no longer on my mind as I felt my eyes widen dramatically as I thought about what the hell I was going to say. On one hand the last thing I wanted to do was lie to my mate, not when I had spent as long as I had gained her trust, but to tell her that she was pregnant, with my child was something that had my wolf both purring in delight and whimpering at the thought of how our
