Dancing with an Alpha

Chapter 9

Dinner was a blast. We laughed and talked for hours. Afterwards we all head out Lex goes with Liz to her place to talk about moving her onto pack grounds. I climb into Carson’s car and sit back. I look out the window as he drives. He takes my hand and squeezes it softly. I look at him and smile. “What are you thinking about dove?” he asks I shrug “just how happy I am about Lex and Liz” I look at him he nods and smiles “I am pretty sure he is going to mark her by tomorrow” he says chuckling as I look at him. I have heard about the mark before and at the time the thought of it kind of scared me but I loved him and I felt like I was ready to take that next step with him. “Carson” I say “hm?” he hums in response, “I think I am ready to...be with you” I say nervously he looks over at me then his face says it all.

Once back at the packhouse we head upstairs to his room. I hold his hand in mine. My hands started to feel clammy as the nerves started to rise the closer we got to his room. He opens his bedroom door and we head inside. I sit on his bed looking at my hands. He knelt down in front of me taking my chin and lifting it, “Merlia we don’t have to if you don’t want to you know I won’t force you into anything. If you aren’t ready we won’t do it” he says in the softest tone. I shake my head “no I….I want to I am ready it just makes me nervous...last time I….” I drift off then take a deep breath “no I want to do it with you I want you to mark me and make me yours I want to show the world that I am your mate and I want to prove I am a strong person and can push passed my past problems and start a new life” I say then put my hand on his cheek “I want to start it with you. I want to marry you and start a family with you. I want to experience so many new things in life with you” I say and kiss him. “I love you Carson and I want this but only with you” I whisper.

He smiles and kisses me pulling me closer to his chest. “Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?” I nod and smile “I do, I really really do.” He grins and picks me up laying me back on the bed before kissing my lips then moving down to my neck. He stops at the spot where my neck meets my shoulder and bites it gently, sparks go down my spine and I shiver. He smiles. “Soon my mark will be right. There.” he says kissing after the last two words. He starts to undress me kissing where the fabric covered I close my eyes grabbing the sheets in my fists as he does.

Once I am fully undressed he sits there looking at my body as if it were a beautiful diamond. I look at him and smile. “What?” I whisper he grins, “you….you are just so beautiful” I blush smiling. He stands off the bed taking his shirt off throwing it. I never noticed but he has a tattoo on his shoulder of a wolf howling at the moon. I smile. “Did you get a tattoo of Xylais?” He nods smiling, “yeah it felt right” I giggle and lay back. I look up as I hear his belt and watch him take his pants and boxers off. My eyes go wide at seeing how big he was, it was…..bigger than I imagined I blush and look up to meet his gaze. His eyes have gone dark and he jumps onto the bed and kisses my body worshiping it before he pushes himself into me.

I gasp and hold onto him feeling his hard c*ck entered me the pleasure I felt was…..indescribable. He lets out a moan and kisses my neck as he pushes himself all the way in. Slowly he would pump his hips back and forth each movement sent pleasure bursting throughout my body. I let out small moans before I was whimpering for him to go faster. That was all he needed to hear before he grabbed my hips and thrust into me with so much power behind each thrust I screamed in pure pleasure. “That’s right scream for me...let me hear you scream my name” He growls in my ear. He would go harder and harder but he would slow down as he came close to cumming. I hold onto him and whimper. “Ca….Carson I…..I’m gonna c*m please” I say, he smiles “c*m my dove” he whispers and then bites into my neck. I gasp and see white spots in my vision as he bites down the pleasure I felt right there made my orgasm ten times better. I would scream his mame as we both came together. We fall onto the bed breathing heavily. I smile and look at him “that…..that was amazing” I whisper and cuddle onto his chest he chuckles. “Don’t get too comfortable dove we have only begun” he whispers and I knew I was in for a long night.

Carson POV:

Last night was amazing. I was so proud of my little dove. She was…...well incredible. The moment she told me she was ready to bare my mark my heart grew, never did I anticipate that she would be ready so soon. I knew it would take time for her to be ready to mate with me but that was something I was willing to wait for. My wolf came out last night and I thought we had hurt her by going too hard but not once did she use our safeword and not once did she ask to stop. In fact, she kept wanting to go at it. We were up till almost 4 this morning unable to stop ourselves. Leia was still asleep as I got up to shower and get ready for training. She was so cute, all cuddled up with her pillows. I swear I could stand there and watch her all day but I didn’t want to be a creep. I quietly went into the bathroom and started my shower I climb in and let the hot water run over my sore muscles. As I stood there relaxing under the hot water I felt arms wrap around my waist and sparks where they lay meaning it was my little dove. I turn and look at her “I didn’t mean to wake you” I whisper as I rest my arms around her waist she shakes her head and smiles “it’s ok I couldn’t sleep after you left the bed why are you up so early?” she asks looking into my eyes. I swear I could get lost in her beautiful eyes. Smiling, I kiss her lips before answering “I have a training baby I have to go but I promise I won’t be long. Why don’t you go back to sleep and when you wake we can get something to eat” I whisper softly she shakes her head then rests it on my chest. I lay my head on hers just holding her as the hot water runs over us. “I want to shower with you then I will go rest” she whispers while I hold her nodding. I continue to stand there before we start washing our bodies off. Once done I grab a soft towel for her and wrap it around her beautiful body. She stands on her toes and kisses my lips sending sparks down my spine, I will never get used to that but I love it. I love how just a simple kiss causes butterflies in my stomach. This woman has my heart and I have hers. She's my world and I would do anything to keep her safe.

Merlia POV:

My eyes fluttered open as Carson started to get up out of the bed. He was walking towards the bathroom but stopped and looked back at me smiling to himself. I laid still making him think I was still asleep before I heard him close the door and start a shower for himself. I wait a bit before I head into the shower, wrapping my arms around his waist. I smile happily. He turns and smiles holding me close to him “I didn’t mean to wake you” he whispers I shake my head smiling, “you didn’t I couldn’t sleep after you got up” he kisses my head and we shower together before he carries me out and puts a towel around me. “How long is training?” I whisper as I go sit on the bed “not long I promise why don’t you go back to sleep and I will wake you when I return then we will get breakfast” he says handing me one of his shirts I nod smiling as I slip it on. Standing on my toes I kiss him before climbing into bed. He chuckles and walks over pulling the blanket over me he plants a small kiss on my forehead I yawn and curl under the covers “don’t be gone long” I whisper as my eyes start to close and I fall back to sleep.

I woke up just as Carson was coming back from training. I look at the clock and it read 8:30. I stretch as I sit up, "hey how was training?" I ask as I pull the blanket around my waist he smiles and walks over "long I'm gonna grab another shower then we can head down for breakfast ok?" I nod smiling

While he showers I walk into my closet and throw on a simple baby blue sweater and some jeans, I throw my hair into a ponytail and scroll on my phone while sitting on the bed waiting for him to finish. Carson comes out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist, I couldn't help but stare at him. I link my lips then heat him let out a low growl "like what you see dove?" I nod, smiling "I do but we need to get to breakfast, so get dressed I am starving" be laughs before walking into his closet and getting dressed. He comes out in a light blue button down with the sleeves rolled to his elbow and some grey pants with black dress shoes I laugh smiling "I feel underdressed" he chuckles placing a kiss on my forehead before pulls me up and taking my hand placing a kiss on it "you look beautiful" I grin and walk downstairs with him where my stomach growls as soon as the smell of pancakes and bacon hots my nose Carson laughs "let's get you some food" he says as we walk into the dinning hall where he sits at the head of the table and I sit to his left Devin at his right and everyone files in.

We are all laughing and talking at breakfast when my phone rings and our table goes quiet. I felt embarrassed as I normally turn it off. I pulled it from my pocket and intended to decline the call when I saw mom's number pop up. I frown and stood "excuse me" I walked a bit away. "Hey mama everything ok?" I ask she didn't really call normally, she would text unless it was an emergency but the voice on the other side wasn't my mom "Mal it's Edly" I hear Edeline say I frown and turn looking at Carson she sounded almost…..scared "Edeline what's wrong is everything ok? Where's mum?" Suddenly she starts crying and trying to speak but I can't hear what she says "Edeline please calm down and tell me what's wrong lovey" I say calmly after a few deep breaths u hear fumbling them a man's voice "hello is this Merlia Jones?" "Yes this is she" I said worried Carson is now beside me listening in "my name is doctor Robert's here at the Royal medical center in London I'm sorry to say but your parents were in an accident and are in critical condition" I gasp and clutch onto Caron’s arm "how….how long" I ask wanting to know how long they have left "I don't know ma'am but we tried calling a Josh and then your uncle but no one answered" I check the time and sigh "they are at work ok I will call them and we will get on the next flight out please keep my brother and sister safe until I get there" I say frantic but trying to stay calm "we will ma'am" he hangs up and I look at Carson he nods "I know I have a car already waiting for us and the jet is ready to take off" I nod and dial Josh's number he answers "hey sis I was just about to call what's up?" He asks and I explain everything to him as Carson and I head to the car he is quiet for what felt like forever "ok….ok are you heading to the airport?" I nod "yes meet us there Carson has a jet we can take it will get us there faster grab uncle Matthew please" "ok we will be there in the next 10 minutes" he says before hanging up the car speeds out and I hold Carson’s hand. "Please go faster" I say to Devin he nods "I'm going as fast as I can Luna please just try to relax" he says calmly trying not to make me angry or any more upset I look at Carson "what if we are too late" he shakes his head "don't think like that we can be in London in the next hour and a half to 2 hours our jet is quick just relax dove" he pulls me into his lap amd holds me close as I break down scared of losing my parents.

We make it to the airport at the same time my brother and uncle makes it we all board the jet and it takes off quickly I stare out the window bouncing my leg Carson holds my hand as he talks to my brother ans Uncle Matt trying to ease the tension and just like he said in 2 hours we are in London we get a cab to the hospital amd I run in up to the receptionist "Merlia Jones my parents are in here" "Leia" I hear a small voice say looking over I see Aaron my youngest brother I walk over and get on my knees hugging him "it's gonna be ok I promise" I whisper he cries in my arms as Josh holds Edeline. After hours of waiting for my parents to get out of surgery the doctor walks in Edeline was asleep on Carson’s lap and uncle has Aaron Josh and I walk over "how are they?" I ask the doctor sighs "I'm sorry we tried everything but they don't have long its time to say your goodbyes they are in room 410 when you are ready" he says before walking out I cry and hug Josh who softly rubs back. Carson walks over and takes me from Josh handing Edeline over "do you wanna say your goodbyes?" Carson whispers I nod hugging his chest and crying quietly he walks me to my parents room where they lay there side by side on life support I cry and walk over in between them I sit in the chair Carson pulls up for me I cry as I squeeze their hands "I'm sorry" I whisper "I'm so sorry I left, I'm sorry I put my dream above the family I should've been there for them…for you I'm sorry I disappointed you" I look down and cry I feel a gentle hand on my cheek and look up I see my mom just barely pushing through I out my hand on hers "mama" I whisper she smiles the best she can "you….never dis….disappointed us you became the woman we wanted you to be" She says before looking over my shoulder at Carson he walls over I smile "mama this is Carson my boyfriend" I say she smiles "Carson please take care of my children for me and take care of my Leia" She says half out of it he nods "yes ma'am on my honor" She closes her eyes I cry and kiss her cheek "I love you" I whisper then kiss my dad's cheek and tell him how much I love him. We walk out and let the others visit I sit in the waiting room talking to the doctors about the next steps we contact a funeral home to come get the bodies once they are passed. Sitting there in a quiet waiting room makes things worse so I stand and walk to the window crying as I hug myself Carson sits and waits before walking over and pulling me in "let's get you out of here" he says I nod and we head out if the hospital. "I need to go to the house ans get some things" I whisper not looking at him he nods and we take a taxi to my parents house I start looking for insurance papers and everything we will need for the funeral home I walk into my old room and smile seeing everything is how I left it I sit on the bed then hug my pillow and cry some more.

After a few sobs the door opens, I expected to see Carson but I saw Josh he walks in and kneels in front of me before he starts to cry something I haven't seen my brother do in forever I hug his head and cry "I'm so sorry Leia" he cries hugging my waist "she Josh there's nothing you or I could've done it was a drunk driver we can't stop a moving car" I whisper trying not to cry but failing "what's gonna happen to Aaron and Edeline?" He asks looking at me I look up as Carson leans on the doorframe "Carson and I will take them home with us we have a stable house and income they can go to the school near our place and they will be safe" he nods and kisses my forehead "I'm sorry I left when I did Merlia I shouldn't have left right after graduation but I wanted to leave" I nod "I know I understand this isn't ur fault we couldn't have stopped this mum and dad aren't disappointed in us they knew we loved them and was just trying to secure a future for ourselves unfortunately they don't get to see the others grow up but that's where you and I will step in and help keep their memories alive with the others ok?" I say trying to he strong for him…..for everyone he nods and hugs me one last time before leaving he shakes Carson’s hand who just pulls him into a hug "I will take care of them on my honor" Carson says looking Josh in the eyes he nods and walks away Carson joins me taking my hand I lean on him."This your room?" He asks I nod and smile "yeah…..yeah it is" I say and we just sit there in silence as I process the next steps in our lives.
