A scent hits my nose and I know it’s Mike. I scan the forest and my grip on Mira and Racheal instinctively tighten. Even though Mike is a friend, my wolf is very protective of my mate and child right now since Mira has just given birth. I growl when I hear something move in the bushes. My eyes turn red and my canines show. I feel Mira stir and I instantly snap out of it. My eyes go back to their usual blue and my canines are pulled back under my gums.
I see a very naked Mike appear from behind the bush and he walks to me. I growl when he gets too close for my comfort. Mike throw his hands up in surrender and steps back. He knows how your wolf gets after your mate as given birth since he has two children already. He smiles at me and I relax just a bit.
“Now I see why you wanted me to be quiet.” He softly whispers.
Mike looks at the two sleeping figures in my arms and sniffs. His eyes glow an amber color and a low growl comes from his chest. I quickly growl back and hold my mate tighter.
“She nor the baby has your scent. She betrayed you!” His voice grows louder.
“It wasn’t her choice!” I loudly whisper.
He froze and his eves grow wide with anger.
“Who did it?!” He whispers.
My eyes travel to Mira who has a slight smile on her lips. I wonder what she is dreaming about? I look back up to a furious Mike.
“William .” I state through gritted teeth.
Shock covers his face,”William ? William would never do something like that.” He says in disbelief.
“That’s what I thought and I thought wrong.” I turn my head away, feeling tears threaten to spill over.
I see other wolves appear as Mike steps toward me. This time I let him.
“Come on, the pack territory is this way.” He says calmly.
I quickly follow, knowing how cold Mira and Racheal are. We walk another nine and a half miles until we make it back to his pack. Mike welcomes us in to the pack house and brings us to a room. I would normally take another room but right now, my wolf in on overdrive.
“Mike, we don’t have anything for the baby and-” I begin but he interrupts me which I’m not too happy about.
“Don’t worry, I’ll bring everything you’ll need for the trip back to your pack. My wife is overjoyed that there is a baby here. I’m pretty sure you’ll have a truck load of stuff before the night is over.” I nod a thanks then enter the room we were staying in.
I close the door and gently place Mira in the soft bed. I pry the baby out of her grip and place her in a bassinet that Mike had someone being up before we got here. I scoot the bassinet beside Mira then jump in bed myself. The warm covers feel amazing and I feel Mira snuggles up to me which makes my heart melt.
I place a light kiss on her lips then wrap my arms around her.
“Goodnight sweetie. I love you.”
I lift my head to see Racheal still sound asleep, “I love you too angel. Sweet dreams.” I whisper then slowly drift off to sleep.
Mira’s POV
I hear a slight whimper and my eyes shoot open. I then realize I’m in a bed…
Why do I always wake up like this? I look over to see Racheal with a very pitiful look on her little face. I feel arms around me, keeping me in bed. Leo! I roll my eyes then gently unwrap his arm from around me.
I quietly get out of bed and leave the room with Racheal on my arms. I realize now that I’m in a pack house. Oh!! Mike’s pack! I completely forgot. Racheal starts to cry and I begging pacing the halls, singing to her. I whisper soothing things to her and run my fingers over her cheek. After a few minute of this she finally calms down. Her eyes squint open and she stares at me with big blue eyes. I so hope they stay this way. I want her to have those beautiful icy blue eyes Leo and William have.
As I walk back to my room, I see a door open in front of me. I jolt back and stare, wide eyed, at the person coming out. He has light brown hair that is short on the sides and is longer at the top. His hazel eyes searching for something with anger. His perfectly chiseled jaw clenched in annoyance. I see his angel-like abs since he is only wearing sport shorts, which kinda makes me uncomfortable.
It didn’t take a genius to see that he was the alpha. With power radiating off of him, he glares at me. I flinch and stand there, fearful of him. His eyes instantly soften and he steps toward me. I plant my gaze on the floor and hold Racheal tightly. I can almost feel the heat coming off of him which makes me shake. My wolf is screaming at me to run but I don’t dare try to run from an alpha in his own pace house. That’s beyond disrespectful.
“I’m sorry, I forgot that you were here. I thought you were my third in command’s mate. I told her to stay downstairs while walking her baby around. I didn’t mean to scare you.” His voice is soft and full of compassion.
I dare to look up and see a small smile on his face. I give a half smile back and relax a bit
.
“It’s okay. I shouldn’t have been walking her around the bedroom halls, knowing that there are people sleeping.” I say meekly.
He chuckles and gives me a million dollar smile. My cheeks burn and I lower my head.
“You shouldn’t be walking at all. You just gave birth not too long ago. Leo should be walking her around, not you. You need to rest.” He sounds gentle though very serious.
“Thank you for thinking of me Alpha, but I can tell Leo hasn’t slept for a while. He needs the rest more than me right now.”
