Chapter 12: Chapter twelve - I found her

[AZRAEL]

She was sleeping peacefully in my arms; I didn't want to lose a moment with her. She felt so right, being into my arms. As if the Moon Goddess herself has made her for me only. She fit perfectly.

I looked down at her and sighed. What if she doesn't feel the same as I do? What if she hates me, like everyone else? What if she will find out about her rights to reject me and decide that she needs to do that? What if. By now, there's too much what if's and why's running through my mind.

"Look down at her, enjoy her being into your arms and worry about all of that later. Let's just for once enjoy the moment, while it lasts", my wolf calmly suggested.

I nodded in approval and looked down at her sleeping figure once again. Soon a new wave of doubt rushed into my mind. This time I couldn't decide would I be good enough for her. What if I don't deserve her? I don't deserve her. I am, as her father said, a monster. And she, she is perfect, pure. Having me as a mate, she must see it as some punishment, rather than a gift. I soon shook all my thoughts away and filled my mind with pictures of my mate's features.

Her perfect dark hair.

Her emerald green eyes.

Her lush red lips.

Her perky breasts.

Her tiny waist.

Her wide hips.

Her round bottom.

Her not-so-long, yet perfect legs.

Shit. STOP.

I forced myself to imagine Sams's face.

Mission kill the boner: part 2.

It seems like I've been walking faster than I thought as soon enough we reached Marie's packs hospital. A nurse approached me and tried her best not to look below the belt, as after shifting, I was naked. Well, that might have slipped from my mind as I was too excited about marking my little mate.

"How can I help you, Alpha Valentino?" she asked and showed her neck in submission.

"My mate needs to rest; she fainted. Also, I wouldn't mind getting a pair of pants," I spoke calmly.

"Your mate? Ohhh", the nurse suddenly blushed and led me towards one of the rooms, leaving somewhere herself.

I placed my little mate onto the bed and landed a soft kiss on her forehead. Soon the same nurse rushed into the room and handed me a pair of pants.

"She should rest, marking is a pretty rough thing to go through, especially at such a young age. You may go home and come after her in the morning," she spoke calmly.

I nodded in approval.

"If I come here tomorrow and my mate isn't here, or there's something wrong with her. It means war," I said and left.

She wouldn't leave my mind.

How is she feeling?

Is everything alright?

Will she be awake tomorrow morning?

What if she won't want to come with me?

What if she won't want to come home?

A small smile crept on my lips as I thought about taking my mate home. I've always seen this building just as our packhouse, but now, after I found her, it will become our home. My Luna by my side. Our home. In no time, I approached my car, parked by the club, where I found my mate. Hopefully, Colin left because I have to rush home. I have a lot of work to do before getting her there.

I rushed through unusually busy streets with her on my mind.

After parking in front of the packhouse, I ran to the main door and smashed it open with a loud bang.

"Everyone gather in the living room this instant!" I yelled in anger. Fuck the mind-link; I need them here now.

My mother came first; she stood next to me and smiled. Like any other mother, she knew what had happened. She wiped the blood from the corner of my lips, and her smile grew bigger.

"She's amazing, isn't she?" mother asked, and I nod in approval.

"I knew you would find her! I'm so proud of you! When will I finally meet her?" mother clapped her hands and giggled.

"Soon," I answered and watched as my pack members gathered in front of me. When everyone finally arrived, I spoke.

"I have found my mate, your Luna, tonight. She has been claimed and marked. I shall get her here in the morning, so we have a lot of work to do. Females decorate the halls and living room, males follow me, we have hours to rebuild North wing, to make it more pleasant for my mate, not only me", as always I was acting cold.

What happened next surprised me beyond any limits.

They all cheered, some whistled, some yelled in joy. They all congratulated me and the corner of my lip lifted. They have never seen my emotions before, if not only anger, and now they have witnessed small, tiny part of them.

"He is so happy, our Alpha is happy," Mathilda spoke and rushed to hug me. My pack members were genuinely stoked about the news of me finally having a mate and them gaining a Luna. They were waiting for her to come around for way too long.

I heard hushed whispers all-around the packhouse. Men kept trying to figure out who is my mate and how would she look. Most of them thought she would be ugly, as someone as cruel as me couldn't gain a beautiful mate.

I growled, and they stopped their talking instantly.

I don't blame them, I am, indeed, cruel.

I know that my pack members respect and love me, but they know what kind of man I am, so I wouldn't blame them for assuming this.

Women, on the other hand, kept whispering about what kind of welcoming party they should come up with, decorations to put out, and how amazing their Luna must be.

She is. She is beyond perfect.

In a few hours, we finished. Packhouse has never looked so good as it does now. All I need is my beautiful mate and maybe a few of our pups to make it perfect. I mentally smiled about the thought of us having a family and spoke to my pack members.

"I shall take a shower and head out to pick up my mate. Be ready; everything has to be perfect here! If someone dares to disrespect Luna, I shall become the consequences itself", I added and headed upstairs towards my bedroom.

Our bedroom.
