The Savage Lycan Prince

#19

Medrielle awoke and looked around. It took a moment for her to realize where she was. She looked out the large windows of the living room and noticed it was close to sundown.

Her legs felt extremely heavy when she noticed Alpha had fallen asleep with her feet on his lap. One of his arms was over her ankles. The top part of his body had slumped over with his other arm, hugging her legs and hanging over the sofa.

He looked peaceful and had been so nice to her. She decided she didn't want to wake him. She laid there with the Alpha draped over her and fell back to sleep.

An incredible smell was in the air. Medrielle sniffed a few times as she lay with her eyes closed, steak and chicken cooking came from the kitchen.

She opened her eyes and saw Alpha with a white tank top on. He had some tongs in his hands, and he seemed to be humming softly.

Medrielle continued to admire his gorgeous shoulders, arms, and back muscles as he moved around the kitchen. He was making dinner, and it smelled amazing. Just then, her stomach made a very loud rumble. Alpha's head jerked up, and he looked over at her on the sofa.

"Well, hello there, little fox, I hope you had a restful nap. It sounds like you're hungry, "he said with a mischievous smirk.

She hated when he called her "little fox." It was so obnoxious. It implied he didn't think of her as a strong werewolf but a small little animal that he could overpower. She decided to ignore his "little fox" remark because he looked so incredible in his tank top and took care of her.

"I am starving, it smells amazing, Alpha Prince. Can I help with anything?" She started to get up from the couch to help, but as soon as she put her foot on the floor, she yelled out in pain.

Gage ran over to her and helped her back down to the sofa. "Don't put any pressure on your ankle. It's still pretty swollen and not to mention black and blue", he said.

Medrielle couldn't understand how it could still hurt so much. Her wolf should have healed her quickly, it had been hours. Maybe it was because she hadn't been let out in so long.

"Dinner is served," Gage said. He walked over to Medrielle, lifted her up, and carried her to the table. It all happened so fast, she didn't have time to protest.

"Thank you, it looks delicious," she said as she looked down at her plate. Steak, chicken, baked potato, corn on the cob, and a fresh spring salad. "Did you make all this yourself?" She asked.

She cut a piece of steak and began to chew when she moaned out loud, "Mmmm, this is amazing. You're actually a really good cook." She looked around and noticed it was just the two of them at the table. "Where are the girls?"

"Thank you for the compliment. Beta Jason and Addi asked the girls over for a sleepover. They're going to watch Disney movies and make cookies. They were quite excited but didn't want to wake you, so it's just us tonight, "he said as he closed his eyes and chewed on a piece of steak.

Medrielle watched as a smile came over his face. He was so incredibly handsome, and she couldn't help but think that she had caught him smiling a lot today. It made her feel warm inside, and she hoped she would see his smile a lot more.

Shockingly, their dinner went incredibly well. They talked about school, college courses they took, and places they visited and wanted to visit. Before they knew it, they had gone through two bottles of wine, and it was eleven pm.

While they were talking and enjoying their wine, Gage cleaned the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher. He walked over to Medrielle to take a look at her ankle. It was pretty much the same as when she woke up earlier, so he said he would carry her to her room and was giving her the day off tomorrow.

The girls could stay with Addi for the day, and Medrielle could rest and stay off her ankle. He would be home so he could help carry her around if she needed.

She opened her mouth to protest, but he quickly told her to hush, he was the Alpha, and it was his decision. She needed to heal properly, and then she could get back to watching his girls.

Gage reached down and slowly took Medrielle up into his arms. He was holding her bridal style again. As he walked to her room, both of them gazed into each other's eyes. They were like magnets being pulled to one another, and the wine made her feel brave, so she didn't look away.

The lights were dim, but Medrielle could still see his beautiful honey eyes looking back at her. Was it the wine, or was she dreaming? Whatever it was, she didn't care. She just knew she was upset that it was going to end.

He opened the door to her room and slowly walked to her bed. Gage's steps were slow and meticulous. He knew once he reached her bed, the wonderful night they had together would be over.

When he looked into Medrielle's eyes, he couldn't help but think or hope that the look she was giving him was more than just the effect of the wine she drank. He wanted it to be desire. He wanted her to kiss him, to make a move, to let him know she wanted him as much as he wanted her.

They were just about at her bed when suddenly Gage's foot caught on something, and he fell forward. They landed on her bed with his body on top of her. He looked down at the floor and saw one of the girls had left a Barbie jeep on the floor, and he tripped over it.

He was embarrassed he had fallen and quickly asked Medrielle if she was OK. She hadn't gotten hurt and was actually happy that he had fallen on top of her, but she wasn't going to tell him that.

He was slow to get up. She was lying down on her bed, and he was now sitting next to her. They were looking into each other's eyes, and Gage felt himself moving closer to her face. He was drawn to her lips, her beautiful eyes pulling him in, calling to him to come closer to taste her luscious lips. Just as he had made his mind up to kiss her, Marie's brown eyes flashed in his head, and he knew he was making a mistake.

He stopped himself, but he couldn't stop looking into Medrielle's eyes. He lifted his hand, brushed a piece of hair from her face, and tucked it behind her ear. "Good night, little fox," he whispered as he lifted himself from her bed, grabbed the toy, and left her room.

Medrielle watched him leave and close the door. Then she heard his footsteps stop just outside it for a few seconds. Did he change his mind? Was he going to come back in? She felt frustrated when she heard the door to his bedroom open and close. She wanted him to kiss her and she thought he was about to, but he didn't! He just stared at her with those damn hypnotic eyes that had her in a trance.

Was he playing some kind of game, or was he really not interested in her at all? She didn't want to think about it anymore, so she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

She tossed and turned all night, and when she finally did manage to enter a dream state, all she saw were the alpha's honey eyes and lips taunting her, daring her to make them hers.

Gage stood outside Medrielles' door. He laid his palm on it and thought about going back in. His body was yearning to feel her warmth against his again.

He came to his senses, walked to his room, and slammed the door. He couldn't believe he had the urge and, not to mention the opportunity to kiss Medrielle and he didn't do it. He hadn't kissed a woman since his mate Marie died over two years ago.

What was it about this girl that made him even want to? He was so angry with himself for not taking the chance, but when he saw Marie's eyes flash in his mind, he completely lost his nerve. He closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep, but sleep wouldn't come. He was left with a feeling of emptiness, he was lonely, he had to find a new mate, get Medrielle off his mind and the Council off his back.
