I pull the covers back and stare at the door, “Night Leo”. I whisper, feeling pity for him.
Dang!! What’s wrong with me?!? He killed my family and I have pity for him!! I ponder on my thoughts as I drift to sleep.
It feels like I just closed my eyes when I hear the door open. My eyes dart open and I jump out of bed. I blink quickly because my eyes aren’t ready for the bright morning light.
“Woah! Mira it’s me! Calm down sweetie.” A familiar voice says.
“Leo.. What is it?” I say groggily.
He chuckles,” Just brought you some new clothes sweetie. I’ll leave them here.” He places the clothes on dresser then leaves, closing the door behind him.
I groan and fall back into bed with a thud. Wait! He’s been calling my sweetie! This just has to stop!
“I’m not your sweetie! Don’t call me that!” I scream into the pillows.
I hear him chuckle from the other side of the door before his footsteps grow faint. I sigh and jump out of bed, staggering when I get to my feet.
I go to the bathroom and quickly take a shower. I then go to grab my clothes from the dresser. Once I go to the bathroom and quickly take a shower. I then go to grab my clothes from the dresser. Once I get my bra and panties on, I hear the door open.
“Wait!! I’m get-” I try to say before the door opens all the way, but it’s too late.
I grab my old T-shirt and try to cover myself as best as I can. I expected Leo but to my surprise, It was Ronald..
“Oh crap!!” He yells, staring at me.
He tries to look away but it was like his eyes were glued to me. What is with this idiot?! Oh yeah, he’s a man…
“Don’t you knock, Jerk!?!? Get out!!!” I tell then throw one of my tennis shoes at his face.
Unfortunately, I have a crappy aim and it hits the wall with a loud ‘thud’. The sound I think snapped him out of it because his face contorts with panic and he goes ghost white. Peeling his eyes away from me, he slams the door with a loud bang. I quickly throw my clothes on and then open the bedroom door.
Ronald is waiting outside. His eyes are filled with fear. I look at him with confusion. What’s wrong? I mean, I’m mad but I’m not gonna hurt him. I can see him shaking. I reach out and touch his arm.
“You good, jerk face?” I tease, though I am truly worried.
He flinches away from my touch and nervously licks his lips.
“I’m fine” he practically whispers.
I can hear his shaky breathing. I then see leo in his bedroom doorway. I see a flash of anger, then it vanishes. He walks toward me and shoots an angry glare at Ronald . Ronald whimpers and looks at the ground.
Now I know why he is scared. Leo saw him staring at me. I know alphas are especially protective of their mates. Plus alphas have one bad temper. Leo might kill Ronald!! Oh crap! I’m suddenly afraid for Ronald’s life.
I touch Leo’s shoulder,” Can I speak to you in private?” I say meekly.
Leo keeps his eyes on Ronald who is shaking uncontrollably. So much for big bad beta… He nods and I follow him into my new bedroom. Once the door is closed he turns around to face me. Dang!! I want to smack him so much!!! His dangerous glare shoots to me and I flinch back quickly. My anger quickly vanishes when the fear of him comes back.
“I’m gonna kill him for looking at you like that!!!” He yells.
I jump back and squeeze my eyes shut. He’s not gonna hurt you Mira. You’re his mate. He won’t take a deep breath and and open my eyes.
“Don’t hurt him, leo.” I say firmly.
“But he–” I stop him.
“You better not hurt him leo!!” I yell.
He steps back in surprise of my demand. His eyebrows furrow from frustration. I wait for him to answer. He looks at me and nods.
“Okay… okay… But if I see him even glance at you like that again, I’m gonna beat his freakin face in!!!” He yells.
“Thank you.” I whisper.
Leo nods then opens the door. I see Ronald still scared to death. I give him a mischievous smile.
“You owe me one, jerk face.” I say.
Ronald looks at leo, and leo nods. Ronald gives me a half smile. The fear leaves his eyes.
Leo grabs my arm and leads me to the living room. I obediently follow though his grip hurts.
We go out the front door and we head towards the forest.
“Where are we going?” I ask.
“We’re going for a run.”
“Aren’t you afraid I will run away?”
“Should I be?”
A smile creeps up on my face. He looks at me and smiles back. I shake my head. He laughs and starts walking faster. The wind makes me shiver from the cold but I ignore it, I’m too excited to even care.
“Come on Mira.” I says excitedly.
I giggle from his childish excitement and follow behind. We finally make it to a clearing to transform in. I look down at the damp grass then look at Leo.
“You can go behind that tree and take off your clothes. And don’t worry, I won’t peek.” He laughs.
I blush.
Hide you face!! You don’t want him to see your face as red as a tomato!! I quickly run behind the tree and take off my clothes.
I breath in deeply and let my wolf take over. I feel my bones crack and my gums ripping apart. I fall on all four and let out a howl. My wolf is out.
I peep from behind the tree to see if he is done transforming. His wolf stares at me with his blood red eyes. His jet black fur ruffles in the wind. I slowly emerge from behind the tree.
Compared to his wolf, mine looks ugly. My wolf is a dirty brown color with black stockings going fairly high up my legs. The tips of my tail and my ears are also black, so are my stomach and chest.
He walks towards my and playfully nips my ears. I jump on his back and nip both of his ears. Hah!!
That’ll teach you!!
I heard that you know…
I stagger back. Leo?
The one and only
How are you doing that?!?
Since we’re mates we have a link to each other.
What?!? So you heard everything I was thinking this whole time I’ve been here?!?!
The silence answers my question. I growl at him, how dare you listen to my thoughts without my consent!
Woah! You’re the one who left your side open!! Leo said.
