Chapter 63 - His Heavenly Mate
HEAVEN - LEIGH’S POV
—
Since becoming Alpha , I had Mia help me decorate the masculine office of my father . It was all too brown and black and now the interior was white mixed with greens and plants everywhere .
“Now this is beautiful .” Mia chimes as she places the little cactus on the white bookcase that is built into the wall .
“It is .” I smile as I look around the new renovated office , my father is going to freak .
“Just open a window , the smell of paint is ..” Mia scrunches up her nose as I walk over to the window , pulling it open and fresh air blows into the office .
“Burning your nose ?” I ask and she nods , breathing in the fresh air .
“Let’s go .” I mutter as I walk to the door .
“This office needs to breathe .” She scoffs as she follows me .
It is the day before Grayson’s coronation and I am a little excited about it . He was there for me and I will be there for him .

After dinner , I climbed into bed and scrolled through my phone , watching a movie while I do so until my phone dings , Grayson’s name with a cringy amount of heart popping up on the bar on the top of my phone .
Grayson : Are you awake ?
I tap on his name , opening the chat .
Me : Yes .
Grayson : What are you doing ?
Me : Watching a movie , what are you doing ?
Grayson : Getting in my car
I frown as my eyes flick up to the time , it’s ten pm . Where the hell is he going ?
Me : Where are you going ?
Grayson : I am coming to pick you up , pack your things .
My smile widens , it feels like the edges of my lips were going to tear .
Me : Yes sir .
I smirk at my use of words , because in the eyes of a normal person , it’s a form of respect , to follow orders but for us it’s kinky , a form of submission .
I kick my legs free of the duvet and hop out of bed , packing my clothes for the night and my grab my dresses for tomorrow .
I have two , one for the coronation and the other for well .. later .
As I wait for Grayson down stairs , I can’t help but think of how far we have come . From mates that hated each other to mates who are going to join two packs .
I do feel kind of bad for only living here , at our pack , but it’s logical . We have more ground , we already started to build more houses to accommodate his pack members and I decided to build a extra house , close to the pack house for just him and I , but of course it will be built last .
I smile as his black SUV pulls up in front of the pack house and he hops out in a pair of black sweatpants and a white jersey .
How he looks this good is beyond my knowledge .
“That was fast .” I smile , because it was .
“I was already on my way .” He shrugs as he takes my dress and lays it down on the back seat while I get into the passenger seat .

We lay on the bed , eating McDonald’s and I have never been happier to be pulled out of bed at night .
“You sure it’s okay that you sleep here ?” He asks cautiously . “I am alpha now , it will be fine . Plus Kai is there is anything needs to he done .” I shrug while shoving a hand full of fries into my mouth . His face goes cold and I frown at him . “Really now ? Are you seriously jealous of my beta ?” I ask as I stare at him baffled . He shakes his head as he continues to eat , “I am not jealous .” He scoffs with a mouth full of food .
“Sure , then what is your problem ?” I ask . He swallows , “I just don’t like him .” He mutters uninterested .
“Why ?” I ask , raising my eyebrows at him . “He likes you , I am not insecure but he has no respect for our relationship .” He shrugs and I roll my eyes . “Let’s say you are right , let’s say he does like me .” He frowns at me . “But he doesn’t disrespect our relationship because he has done nothing to intervene .” I argue , because since Grayson and I got together , Kai hasn’t said or done anything to show interest in me .
“He shouldn’t look at you like you’re some sort of snack to devour .” He grumbles and I choke on my fry as I start laughing .
“He doesn’t .” I laugh , which makes him frown more . “He does .” He grits out , he looks pissed off .
I smile as I lean over to him , resting my chin on his shoulder as I stare at him . “He can look at me all he wants ..” his eyes narrow as he glares at me , “But I am only your snack to devour .” I whisper , my breath fanning his neck and he gulps as his eyes flick down to my lips . I hurriedly sit up and continue to eat . “So atop your crap , I love you Grayson .” I offer a small smile and he looks a little more relieved . “I love you too , I just don’t like how he looks at you .” He sighs .
“Then look at me , not him .” I shrug and he sighs , “We have to be up at seven .” He changes the subject and I want to laugh , but it will set him off .
“I know .” I pick up my burger and start to eat it .
The rest of the night was relaxing as we watched a movie and fell asleep early , because I insisted that I did not want to have a day like mine , I was tired and annoyed at the end and I want to enjoy Grayson’s coronation .
