My Hot Alpha

"Night". I smiled.

Turning off the light I got into bed. I hoped he got my message and I hoped he would come.

An hour had passed and I was struggling to keep my eyes open. He didn't show and I still hadn't heard from him. Turning off my TV I pulled the covers up and around my neck. Just as I was getting comfortable and about to let sleep take over I heard it. The light tapping on the window.

Tap

And again.

Pushing the covers off I walked towards my window pulling open my patio door. "Seriously you couldn't just use the front door?". I sighed.

"Didn't think you'd let me in". He shrugged.

"So you didn't get my text then". Nodding my head I realised he was only in shorts. He didn't even have shoes on.

"Don't take it with me when I run. Can I come up?".

"Lock the door-... seriously you need to stop doing that". I sighed feeling the heat radiating from his body, he was so close.

"Beats walking up the stairs". He smirked.

Rolling my eyes I made my way back to bed. Pulling the covers back over my body I watched as he closed the patio door.

"Why don't you have any shoes on?". I yawned. "Or a T-shirt in fact why are you just in shorts. It's freezing outside".

"Benefits of being a werewolf babe".

"If you say so". I yawned again. Was he going to get into bed or just stand there?

"Babe about tonight-..."

"Are you getting in?".

"Let me say this first". He sighed. I felt the bed dip where my feet lay. "I freaked out tonight because when a male werewolf finds his mate, when we imprint we-..". He stopped talking making me sit up. "Jake?".

"To complete the mating bond we-.. I have to bite you on the neck".

"Is that why you blew up over the love bite?". I whispered my hand finding his.

"Pete skipped everything and jumped straight in". He laughed but I knew he was being sarcastic.

"But he didn't bite her". I said.

"He hasn't bit her yet". He sighed.

Wait what was he saying?

"No". I gasped.

"Afraid so babe".

She was Pete's mate.

I didn't know what to say. I wasn't even sure if Lana planned on staying or if she was only here for a short visit. Falling back against my pillows I sighed. "We're not the same Lana and I. She doesn't do relationships Jake and-..." I stopped talking. "She won't be able to resist the bond Leah".

"Like I couldn't". Patting the space beside me I grinned when he pulled the cover back and got in. "I'm just saying she's a hard nut".

"Pretty sure he'll be able to crack her". He laughed.

"Doubt that". Before I could talk myself out of it I snuggled closer to him resting my head against his chest.

"That's why I lost my shit tonight. It's a process and he could have ruined it all".

"When do you-.. when does the bite happen?". I asked.

"Don't worry about that just now. Try and get some sleep".

"Should I worry about it?". I wasn't worried about it until he said that. Would it hurt? What would it feel like?Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Your heartbeats spiked calm down". He whispered placing his hand against my hip. "All in good time. We're taking it slow remember".

There was so much I didn't know. What did it actually mean to be his mate? What would I have to do? How was I going to feel? "Princess". He growled.

"You have to tell me Jake. I don't know anything about this. You can't just say something and then tell me not to worry. I need to know things, you can't keep me in the dark". I wasn't panicking but I could hear my own heart beating. "And I will babe-..."

"Then tell me". I yelled cutting him off.

"We have sex, I'll bite you just as you're about to come and then you'll go into heat for at least 5 days".

Swallowing the lump in my throat I wished I hadn't pushed him to tell me. My head was spinning with questions. Squeezing my eyes shut I calmed my breathing. "I'm going to go to sleep now". He was right, all in good time. Turning onto my side I faced away from him, his arm slipping from my body.

His answer was short and sweet and I wasn't going to lie I was shitting myself for what was to come.

I thought having him here would make it easier to fall asleep but not tonight. We had been lying in bed for the last half hour not a word spoken between us. I couldn't shut my mind off.

"Come here". His voice was low, groggy. He was tired but I knew he was fighting it because I was still awake. Sighing he slipped an arm under me and pulled me to him. "You'll sleep now". He muttered burying his head in my hair.

He was right I was out in a matter of minutes.
