The next day
Kayden’s POV.
I woke up next to an empty bed, you would think that after all of the fun that we had the previous day, Mantha would at least sleep by my side but she insisted on sleeping in the room that I had prepared for her.
I would be going back home today and I would also be introducing Mantha to everyone as my mate today. Waiting for my birthday would be what you would recommend me to do, right? But never! I would never waste any time anymore. I was going to reveal her to the world now.
“Perhaps she would trust us enough then and finally tell us the whole truth about her.” Jay chipped in.
“That’s true, perhaps finding of her would be the best gift she could give to me,” I replied him, pulling off my pyjamas in an attempt to take a bath.
“But then, Mantha would commence training very soon. We can’t let her remain that way, and would still yet be bullied by others if she does not develop her abilities.” I said to Jay who immediately agreed with me.
“You should tell her about it today. Being mentally prepared to start training also matters a lot.” Jay advised.
“I would sure tell her that today,” I replied to him and then a knock came on the door.
“Who is that?” I asked changing my usual line.
“Samantha,” she replied in that sweet voice.
“Come in,” I responded and she walked in and froze, finding that I was naked.
“I… I am sorry, I did not see a single thing.” she closed her eyes and covered her both eyes with her palms.
I chuckled at her cute acts and walked up to her and ruffled her hair.
“Do wolves get embarrassed for little things such as this?” I asked her.
“Ha… Have you gotten on a towel?” She asked.
“Of course.” I lied to her and she opened her eyes only to close her eyes yet again.
“You lied to me,” she grumbled and I chuckled repeatedly, grabbing the towel and tying it around my waist.
“I have a towel on now,” I said to her and she slowly opened her eyes and let her hands slip to her sides when she saw that I now had a towel on.
She breathed in and out deeply, her face still all flushed up.
I kissed her forehead, her both cheeks and went to her lips. I kissed the luscious lips for some moments and Mantha tried kissing me back, she was not a perfect kisser but even yet her inexperience seemed to be more of a turn-on for me.
I broke the kiss and smiled at her.
“What are you about to do?” She asked.
“Take a bath,” I replied.
“Uhmm… Okay then, you should take a bath. I would be back in some minutes.” she said and slipped away before I could say another word or stop her.
“Jay, you do not read further meaning into her being embarrassed and shy at the sight of a man’s nakedness?” I asked Jay.
“What meanings?”
“Samantha did not grow up amongst wolves.”
“Or maybe she just did not grow up amid matured wolves,” Jay added and I nodded, finding sense in his words.
Wherever she had lived, Mantha was not used to seeing wolves shapeshift back to humans.
Samantha’s POV
“He does not even feel shy,” I grumbled to Cara.
“He is a fully grown wolf, why should he be shy of his nakedness?” Cara asked and I found senses in it.
After all, he must have shape-shifted in front of several ladies in the past and they must have seen his nakedness.
I returned to my room and dressed up properly. Earlier on, I was too excited and anxious to go see Kayden that I did not even take a bath.
There came a knock on my door.
“Come in.” the door opened and Cassie walked in just as I suspected.
“Good morning.” I grinned at her.
“Good morning, the future Luna.” she flattered me and my cheeks reddened up a bit.
“C’mon, you are making me feel flustered,” I said.
“You should be, take a look at yourself, you are so pretty already. ” She replied me in a drooling manner.
“You are really good at flattering,” I said to her and gave her two thumbs up.
“I would have given you another thumbs up if I had another hand.” I cracked a dry joke and we laughed anyway.
“I think we would be leaving today,” Cassie said and I nodded, affirming it and then her countenance changed suddenly.
Her bright face suddenly went dull and sullen.
“What’s wrong?” I asked her.
“She would be leaving James,” Cara told me
“Oh, that’s true. I know how she must be feeling, it’s really hard to let go of those you love.” I replied Cara.
“I would talk to Kay, perhaps he would just let you remain here,” I suggested.
“But then… I would miss you,” she replied.
“How about we take James along to the mansion then? That is a good idea, you would be with me and would be with James too. I should ask Kay if that’s okay with him.” I got up from where I was seated in glee.
“Thank you so much, Samantha.” Cassie thanked me and I gave her a beautiful smile.
“It’s nothing much, I would be right back.”
I skipped out of my room and knocked on Kayden’s door which was just by my room anyways.
“In Mantha.” his voice came, there was no hiding the affections in his voice and I was glad that we had gotten to the point where we did not need to hide whatever we felt for each other.
I pushed open the door.
“How did you know it was me?” I asked him.
“Your scent,” he replied and I slowly nodded.
“You do have the best scent around here” I complimented him.
“By the way, are you done preparing?” He asked.
“I am done but then I have a request.” I began.
“What is it?”
“Actually, I was thinking if James could follow us back to the mansion,” I replied and his eyes shot up at me.
He walked over to me dangerously slow and I gulped nervously.
“Didn’t you say you have nothing to do with him?” He asked me, his fingers playing on my body to make me even more nervous
“I… it’s not for me.” I managed to say.
“Then who is it for?” He asked, moving closer, he leaned in and kissed my cheeks before moving upwards and gently biting my earlobes.
“It…. it’s… it’s for Cassie.” I stuttered, holding onto the hem of my clothes tightly.
“Why Cassie?” He asked, kissing my neckline now.
I could not say another word and I realized that if I was going to talk, I needed to at least get away from his touches.
I pushed him backwards with little resolution.
“Eem… Cassie would miss him a lot if she goes back to the mansion without him.” I explained.
“And what are you going to give to me if I do let James follow us back?” He asked with a smirk and I played with my fingers.
I had practically nothing, what the heck could I possibly offer to Alpha Kayden?
“I… I… I have nothing.” I stuttered.
“You must have something, life is given and taken” he replied and I pursed my lips.
I breathed in and out deeply, grabbed his collars and pulled him down to my height. I pressed our lips together and stood that way, not knowing very well what to do next.
He took the initiative and deepened the kiss, we kissed for minutes before I broke the kiss.
“Is that enough for you to take James along with us?” I asked him.
“Uhmm… I would consider you,” he smirked and kissed my forehead.
“I love you,” he said looking into my eyes fondly.
“I love you too,” I replied him.
“Is that a yes to my request?” I asked slowly.
“What do you think? Tell James to pack up his things.”
“Thank you so much! You are the best!”
