Chapter 70: Reynolds P.O.V.
Why did he do dumb stuff like that? Better yet why did he have to say dumb stuff like that? I didn’t have to have him in front of me to know that he didn’t believe that I could protect her, but I can. In some ways better than he can. I respect him more than most alpha’s and not because he was my bets friend before he ever became the Alpha.
He had closed the door and allowed me some private time with just her, finally. Her hand in mine is the only thing keeping me calm at the moment. It’s already hard enough having to share my mate but it’s almost impossible to share my mate with somebody that has a higher role not just in this pack but the entire world.
We had walked down the hall a little. I think it gave her some idea of having privacy even if we all have super hearing. I think I was lost in my thoughts again because the next thing I hear is her repeating my name, clearly she had asked me something, Great now I feel like an ass, “I’m sorry, can you ask that again?” I asked, pulling all my focus into her.
She let out this light laugh that filled my heart with love and shook her head like she always does, “I said, I was sorry that we haven’t really had that much time to spend together but I have an idea if you are up for it?” She asked, looking at me like I was her whole world.
“Don’t be sorry, okay?” I pulled her into my chest. She wrapped her arms around me to the bets of her ability and let out a sigh of relief.
“I know that none of this can be easy on any of you and I think we all need to talk about it.” She croaked. I hated that we kept making her so upset, this is why I was just going to not tell her but having her now. I think it would actually kill me if something have ever happened to her.
“Are you crying baby?” I whispered, inhaling the sweet smell of her hair while I held her close to me. I could tell that she was crying even if she told me no, her tears soaked through my shirt. I couldn’t give a fuck about the shirt but the fact that she had cried in my arms made me feel a new level of upset.
“Come on, let’s go to my room. I’ll let Alpha Troy know where we are going.” I said, pulling on her hand and taking her to the room not to far from his. He had the room on the end of the hall while Beta Sebastian had the room to the right and I had the room to the left. At the time when this place was built we thought it was a good idea because we would always have access to each other but now it makes it so much better.
She didn’t say anything and that scared me. She always says something at least and lets us know that she heard us. Maybe she nodded and I just didn’t see it or something.
I opened the door to my bedroom. There was nothing on it that is remarkably different from the other doors, nothing showing anybody that each room belonged to anyone. That is the way that Troy’s brother like it, he would always go ahead and say ‘decorating is a womans job, a luna and we don’t have one’.
He used to talk down about his mother with so much anger that now the topic of her doesn’t even come up. It was better that way even if it tore him apart never being able to speak about her. I never had to worry about that with mom, she’s always around us. I feel bad when I get frustrated never having space from her because my beta and alpha had to grow up never knowing anything about their mom.
The downward spiral will have to be saved for another time because I currently have my mate alone for what seems like the first time in forever and I’m extremely grateful for it. I opened the door and held it open for her, “Mi lady.” I gestured her to come in the room and I got to hear that sweet heavenly giggle that she has. It warms me up from the inside out and makes my palms all sweaty at the same time.
“Thank you.” She blushed, taking in the few things I have taken the time to decorate my room with. I didn’t care about what Troy’s dad thought anymore, not really. What reason would he even have to go ‘inspect’ my room in the first place?
“I know the room is super bland and not as luxurious but I’ve tried to make it comfortable for my future mate.” I said, scratching the back of my head. I bet she hates it in here compared to Troy’s room. I know how he spends the money that is awarded for his position. Everything goes into his room and the clothes that he wears.
“Reynolds?” She whispered. I always thought I hated my name but coming from her mouth it sounded like a serenade meant for her lips.
“Yes.” I said, standing in front of her and rubbing her arms. Is she cold? I heard females get a lot colder than us. I actually know that’s a fact when I have to train female wolves I can’t put them in the same situations as the males.
“I’m not cold.” She smiled, biting her bottom lip and looking back up at me.
So she can feel and hear all of our thoughts just as much as we can hear hers. That sounds completely overwhelming to say the least.
“It is. The others haven’t caught on yet. Points for you.” She smiled. Her smile is killing me .
She sat down on the edge of my bed, “Can we talk?” She asked, her legs covered in those baggy sweatpants that I was already developing a hatred for, maybe she would let me burn them.
She giggled again. The noise filling up my room and I couldn’t handle it anymore. I crossed the room and kissed her with everything that I had in me and then some. Crashing my lips down on her perfect swollen lips, my hands around the back of her neck and pushing her lips into mine. Her back arched while she tugged on my shirt, my hands went down her perfect thighs and she finally gasped for air.
She put her hand to her even more swollen pink lips and looked at me. “That was…” and she did that thing again. That tease she does without even knowing that she is murdering me so slowly, she bit that bottom lip and looked at mine and went back to my eyes.
“Perfect.” I blurted the first thing that came to mind and then my jaw dropped because what the hell has she done to me?
