Alexander:

I smiled, watching as Scarlett walked beside me.

I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her to me, and watching as the pack members took a step back, they allowed us to walk past them, watching as the moon rose to its full height.

I was the first to howl, and returning the call, the pack members howled back, shifting to our wolves as the night’s air grew colder. My wolf, a black wolf with a white belly, faced my mate’s which was grayish white. Her eyes met mine, and she lowered her head, clearly still affected by the rejection.

The wolf sat down, lowering her head to the ground, ashamed, and in return, I got down on my stomach and practically crawled toward her, purring as I did. She looked at me, clearly confused, and nudging her head with my own, I waited for her to react for a second before I purred again, rubbing my muzzle against hers.

She closed her eyes in response to my action, and letting out a low whimper, I knew that she was opening up about her pain; however, it was what I wanted. I wanted her wolf to be free of the pain that • she was blocking in, and before the night ended, I wanted to ensure that my mate and I were in relationship, or acceptance terms.

I got up from the ground, nudging her with my head, causing her to scowl in annoyance. It amused me that I could read her VERY expressive wolf as easily as I could. But that could also be the fact that we grew up together, and that Scarlett was by my side when I first shifted, and I was by her side when she shifted for the first time. At that time, I was aware of the spark between us, and I would be lying if I said that I didn’t suspect the fact that we were mates; however, a mating bond is not expressed until we’ve reached adulthood and that was why I couldn’t catch the fact that Scarlett was indeed my mate.

I nudged her again, and this time, wagged my tail, wanting her to play. Scarlett cocked her head to the side, studying my expression for a second, before I nudged her one more time. That seemed to do the trick as she got up from the ground; however, she wasn’t in the same playful mood that I was in. She got up in an attempt to attack me for nudging her way too many times, especially since I was still aware that she was upset with me. She let out a low growl, warning me, but I jumped to her side and leaned in to rub my muzzle against her own.

“Calm, neonata” I said, using our link as an omega and her Alpha. She whimpered in response, and purring, I licked her nose, causing her to shake her head in surprise. I ran toward the woods before stopping when I noticed that she didn’t follow me, and turning around to face her, I got down and wagged my tail, cocking my head to the side as I waited for her to come. Taking the hint, Scarlett’s wolf took a hesitant step forward before sprinting toward me, causing my wolf to purr in satisfaction.

I got up and sprinted, knowing that she was a few steps behind; however, that didn’t last for long as she took a log to her advantage and jumped on it before passing me. Bumping me in the process. I stumbled on my footing, and noticing that, she stopped completely and walked toward me, sniffing my muzzle for a second before I attacked her, taking her by surprise. She went to attack me back, but I licked her nose, stopping her, letting her know that I was simply playing with her.

She purred in response, and that was all it took for me to melt. My heart raced, and had I been in wolf form, I knew that I would have had her inside the bedroom; however, I knew that it was still far too early for me to even consider that. The woman was still very hesitant about the fact of being around me; therefore, I knew that I couldn’t risk making one wrong move.

I got up from the ground, my wolf towering my mate’s for a second. She flinched, lowering her ears, fearing that I would hurt her; however, I leaned in and laid my head on hers, letting her know that she was safe. She took a second before she relaxed, or allowed herself to loosen up before she took a step back and sniffed me. I stayed still, giving her the chance to do so, wanting her to recall the mating-scent I knew that the scent was not one that she would have wanted to have, not now at least, not after she’s been as broken as she was by me; however, I wanted her to trust that I wouldn’t break her again, and it was something that I was determined to prove to her.

 

Scarlett hesitated for a second before her wolf buried her nose in my neck, sniffing it. I purred in response, and lowering my head, I couldn’t help but want to smile when she lay down on the ground under me, wanting me to lay by her side. Doing as requested, I lay beside my mate who lowered her head on the ground, listening to the quiet surrounding around us before she moved a little to press her body against mine, nudging my muzzle with her own and licking my nose. I rubbed our muzzles for a second, before watching as she lay her head on my wolf’s chest, her purrs rumbling through her chest, causing mine to vibrate.

However, that wasn’t what had my wolf’s heart skip a beat or my own heart dropping to my stomach. My mate, my wolf’s mate, looked at me, allowing me to listen to her thoughts as she broke the barrier that she built between us when I rejected her, letting me know that she was willing to give it a shot. Her scent which smelled like roses and vanilla, now filled my nostrils as she stopped blocking her scent as my mate, and purring in response, Scarlett simply responded with her mind link, her next words making my heart swell with more emotions than she could imagine. Hell, those feelings were ones that even I couldn’t imagine, especially since I could read and understand the underlined meanings under them.

The struggling and her suffering, I have seen them all; therefore, to know that she was happy was something that I couldn’t be more grateful for, and knowing that it was because of me, I knew that I was blessed. The four simple words played in my head, loud and clear, even though she had said them a minute ago as she looked at me with a gentle gaze that I couldn’t help but miss throughout the time that I lost it.

I hated admitting it, but I knew that I was very wrong in the way that I have acted around her, and that was something that she should have lived through, especially since I knew that she was too good for me, or anyone to say the least. The woman was an angel coming from above. It was the ONLY explanation to the way she acted.

I looked at her as she stared at the stream ahead, her words playing in my head again, something that I haven’t heard from the woman that I called mine for years. Delilah always believed that everything that I did was done because had to, whereas Scarlett never got half of what Delilah ever got, and yet, she was always more genuine and grateful for the smallest of things.

And now, instead of lashing out on me after everything, she was here, making me feel like I was a complete fool for losing her, simply for saying one, small sentence…

“Thank you, Alpha Alexander…”
