Whitney’s p. o. v
I couldn’t sleep and my head was aching badly.
Who in their right mind could sleep after being told all that?.
Last night I stayed up reading a book while waiting for Leo to come into our room.
I was nervous because I was planning to take the next step into our relationship. At first I thought of doing it elsewhere, say maybe where we would go for vacation. But after some deep thoughts, I discovered that I was being very selfish and ungrateful because my mate didn’t deserve how I was treating him.
Most she-wolves took pride in mating with their mates and I was no different because my wolf was dying to do just that with him.
When he walked into the room, I quickly put the book down and took off my outer robe, laying down in a see-through night dress.
I was sure he was going to be happy seeing me nearly naked and I would also get to see his drunk state, that’s what I thought but everything turned out so different.
He began talking about the pack and he looked so shocked. When he mentioned how alpha Axel wanted us to have the territory, all my intimate thoughts vanished.
I too was in shock that I couldn’t sleep or do a thing with him.
Us running the territory was a crazy idea but I also understood his view. We were like family to him and him running from territory to territory was going to be hard. He could have still chosen to use us and keep this territory to himself yet he chose the opposite. By introducing Aurora to the pack members, he made them know that my claim of an alpha queen existing wasn’t a total bluff.
Even if Leo and I would be the ones running the territory they wouldn’t know a damn thing because it would forever be our secret. They would think we are running the pack on behalf of the alpha queen and his mate when in truth we are the true owners!.
The plan was genius and it made the respect I felt for Amelia and Ian increase. They truly were kind.
I walked into the kitchen room and found Amelia drinking a cup of tea calmly.
“Morning.” I whispered then pulled out a chair for myself and sat down.
“Morning.” She responded.
I kept quiet then shifted in my seat.
“Um… Amelia, did Alpha Axel say something to you concerning this territory?” I asked in a low tone.
“No, was he supposed to?” She answered.
“No.” I answered quickly.
If he told her nothing, then he was going to. What I didn’t want is to be the one to do it.
“I’m just messing with you Whitney, He told me everything this morning and I think it’s a very good and decent decision handing this place to you.” She answered.
“Are you seriously agreeing just like that?” I asked on top of my voice.
“Yes, did you perhaps want me to argue and disagree?” She asked back as I raised my hand waving.
“No.” I exclaimed.
“Okay.” She answered then took a sip from her cup.
“You and uncle are kind and a good couple. You are not selfish or playful and you have the capability of running a huge territory. So I wouldn’t disagree with his decision because It made me happy.” She said.
“Thank you. I’ll do my best to make this territory thrive.” I answered as she nodded.
“I’m starving.” Ian said when he walked in.
He went to Amelia and gave her a light kiss on her cheek before facing me.
“Morning.” He greeted me.
“Morning.” I answered then stood up.
“Whitney, I don’t know if Amelia told you this but we will be leaving this territory soon.” He said.
“How soon are we talking about?” I asked.
“Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.” He answered.
What!. Why were they going back so soon?.
“You can stay for a few days.” I said seriously.
“Thank you but we can’t, there are a few things that we need to handle that side, also I’m sure Nana misses Amelia. Since she heard of her pregnancy that woman has been doing a lot of things to ensure Amelia’s comfortability.” He answered.
“I understand.” I said softly.
“But we will be visiting as much as we can, so don’t worry.” He said as I sighed in relief.
I still wanted them around our territory. Yesterday the party was my first party and it was amazing, we all got to chat and laugh so freely. I even got to understand that Alpha Axel wasn’t so different to Ian because they both cared for us in their own way.
“You should also feel free to visit us any time soon.” Amelia said.
“Of course. We will be visiting.” I answered.
When the twins walked in, I greeted them both and they respectfully answered back.
“You are just who we wanted to see, please take a seat.” Amelia said to them as I excused myself and went out.
I walked out of the pack house following Leo’s scent which led me to the training field.
He stood talking to a few warriors ahead.
I stood in my tracks watching him laugh and say something that made them laugh as well.
He really had a great body and a handsome face. Everything about him was so.
“Perfect.” My wolf said my thoughts out loud with a soft purr.
“He truly is everything we didn’t know we needed.” I said as the warriors stopped laughing.
He too stopped, then turned and looked at me.
I bit my lower lip and quickly turned to walk away when he called out my name loudly.
I froze then turned back as he approached me.
“Did I say that out loud!” I asked my wolf silently despite knowing that I did.
“Yes.” She answered proudly.
Why the hell was she proud over something so embarrassing.
“I’m glad our mate heard you because he seems happy.” She said.
“You were looking for me right?” He asked cheerfully when he stood in front of me.
“I just came to check up on you.” I answered.
He got my hand and linked it to his.
“Walk with me.” He said.
“Okay.” I answered then began walking with him.
“I talked to Axel about that Vacation.” He said.
I quickly went in front of him waiting for him to continue.
“He said we can do as we please but only if things settle down.” He said as I happily hugged him.
He laughed softly then wrapped his arms around me.
“So let’s be patient, okay. When we gain the warriors’ trust and everything settles down we will have our alone time and bonding.” He whispered.
“Yes.” I answered happily.
