Leomord’s p. o. v
“Which room do you like?” Whitney asked Lexi with a smile after our house tour.
“Yours.” She answered, making me frown.
Why the hell was she choosing her room when she was told to choose between all fifteen rooms!. Did she not want us to spend some intimate time together?. How the fuck was I going to mate with my own mate when she was getting glued to her!.
“Leo, stop.” Tey whispered softly.
“Stop what?” I asked seriously.
“That expression on your face is scary.” She answered.
I looked at Lexi and noticed how terrified she was.
“I’m sorry.” I apologized softly.
“I choose the third room which is next to yours Whitney.” She said as I sighed in relief.
“Lexi, don’t mind Leo. I would love to have you in my room.” She said calmly.
“Fucking no!’ I yelled silently in my mind.
“I know, but I think I will be okay in the third room.” She answered.
“Okay, then take it. From today onwards it will be your room.” Tey said softly.
“Then excuse me, I’ll go and take a bath if that’s okay with you.” She said then looked at me.
“Sure. When you come across someone scary, scream out our names and we will come running to you.” I said and brushed my hand through her hair playfully with a smile.
She smiled then turned and went back.
“Ouch.” I muttered under my breath when Whitney slapped my arm.
“That’s for being a jerk to the poor kid.” She said in a scolding tone.
“But I wasn’t, I just didn’t like how she wanted to glue herself to you.” I answered honestly.
“She’s a kid who grew up alone, so it’s only normal that she wants to glue herself to me. I’m a female and you are a male so it’s obvious that she is more comfortable with me than you.” She said seriously.
“I know but I still felt unhappy over it. I mean you are my mate, when do I get to mate and make love to you when she sticks that much around you?” I asked.
She widened her eyes then quickly turned and faced the other side.
“What?. Don’t tell me…., do you not want us to mate?” I asked loudly.
“I want that, but not now.” She answered in a murmur.
“Whitney, you have to look at me when responding to my question ” I said then grabbed her hand and turned her to face me.
She quickly lowered her gaze to the floor avoiding my eyes.
I smiled happily then moved my hand to caress her cheek.
“I want you all to myself as any mate in their right mind would. Also I want to be the only one who goes with you everywhere because it has come to my attention that it’s not only one bastard who is after you but a few more.” I said honestly as she looked up with a frown.
“What do you mean a few more?” She asked.
I leaned in and kissed her other cheek gently then looked her in the eyes.
“You my mate are so pure and a little naive. You think all males of your territory follow you because you are strong and a great leader, when in truth they follow you for their selfish needs. I know the look of one who’s in love or has a desire for a female.” I pointed out then dropped my hand and stood upright.
“It pissed me off a lot, that’s why I was ready to fight that asshole. Unfortunately you stepped in before I could get the chance to. I would have loved to crippled him for fun.” I said confidently.
He was an Alpha, that I knew. But his pheromones were weak compared to Ian and Whitney. Taking him down wouldn’t have been hard.
“Leo, I don’t really care how those warriors look at me or how they feel, because to me they mean nothing. I only care how you feel and how you look at me because I love you.” She answered as my heart fluttered.
Me and my wolf really loved her as well, actually a lot more than we have ever loved anyone.
I leaned in and kissed her lips lightly then pulled back.
“And I love you so ….”
“General.” A warrior called as he approached us.
“August right?” I asked just to be certain it was his name.
“Yes.” He answered coldly then shifted his gaze to Whitney.
“Ibuk is being taken care of by the healers. According to them, he will recover in a few hours although he is still in so much pain. The wound was very deep, luckily it’s healing quickly.” He reported.
“Good, anything else?” She asked seriously.
“The warriors are gathered outside waiting for you to address them. They want to know where the Alpha king and our warriors who went with you are.” He answered.
“Tell them I will be there with them shortly ….”
“Go.” I said cutting her off.
“But I haven’t even ….”
“Tey, go and address them. I’ll be in your bedroom making a call.” I said softly.
She forced a smile on her face then walked away with the warrior following behind.
I went back to her room and got in. The first thing I picked up yet again was her beautiful scent. It made me and my wolf feel very relaxed and calm.
“I seriously want to sleep in the same room with her.” I said silently to my wolf as I walked to the Telephone on her desk.
“She feels the same way I’m sure, but let us not rush her.” He answered.
“I know.” I whispered then picked up the Telephone and dialed Felix’s number.
“Name?” Her response came.
“It’s me.” I answered calmly.
“Uncle!” She exclaimed.
“Yes, it’s me. Can you connect me to Ian now?” I asked.
“Yes, of course. Give me a minute.” She answered.
I waited patiently while moving back and forth slowly.
“Beta.” Ian called.
“Yes Alpha, I have important news to report to you.” I said.
“I’m listening.” He answered calmly.
“I think we found a witch that might lift your pack’s curse.” I said in a respectful tone.
The line went quiet for a few minutes.
“What?” He asked in a low voice that almost sounded like a whisper.
“We found a young witch who is very powerful. Her Aura is way stronger than Lee. I and Whitney believe she would help the pack.” I answered.
“Beta, you have two days to bring her here.” He ordered seriously.
“Yes Alpha.” I answered.
“Also, thank you very much.” He said, then disconnected the call before I could respond.
“Oh well, I guess he is happy and still a little cold.” I said with a smile then put down the Telephone in its place and walked out of the room.
Two days was nearly impossible if we were to travel by foot.
We needed a car in order to make it in time. Luckily we were in a territory full of them.
