my friend the alpha

Giving in to fate

Mae's POV

When he left the room I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. Even as a child I had never been allowed on the third floor let alone in his room or the Alphas room.

I looked around taking it all in. It was massive. A large california king size bed spanded the middle of the far wall across from the bathroom and closet. beside it book shelves filled with framed photos and a large window that opened up to the balcony. Passed the bathroom was a large T.V. and L shaped sofa large enough to seat the entire alpha guard and us with room to spare. I crossed over to the book shelves and scanned the photos. One was filled with memories of him and his parent along with all his alcalades. The other was filled with pictures or us. I stopped he had an entire book shelf filled with all our memories from my seventh birthday to our eighth grade graduation and then on the top shelf right in the middle sat two pictures I didnt expect to see. One was of use before the Sadee Hawkins dance. The one my mother had taken before we left. I had never taken the camera from Mrs. Louis' office so I never developed them. And the other was of me from a distance standing over my mothers grave. I could tell from the outfit it was from the only time I visited her at her grave. Right after Jess left for the accademy.

How could he have know I was there...

My mind trailed off into the many memories until I heard the door open and Tyler walked back in. He crossed the room to me and his eyes landed on the pictures I was Staring at.

"That's the moment I Knew you were still in there. I had hoped that would be the day you turned things around. But you didn't and I stopped visiting after that. I had to get my focus back on the pack."

"I'm sorry I let you down" I say.

He turned me around and bent down to my level. "Never appologize for feeling how you feel. You're here now thats all that matters. Now go shower before you get sick. I can't prepare you to be my Luna if you're sick and stuck in bed.

"I still haven't agreed to that yet."

"I know but I can dream. It kept me going the last two years maybe it can work again for me now."

I smiled and then crossed the room to the bathroom. before shutting the door I peeked back at him.

"Don't worry I won't come in and I'll be right here when your all done" he said plopping down on his enourmous bed.

Hes already waited so long for me, how much longer am I going to have to make him wait.

The bathroom was beautiful, a massive claw foot jaccuzi tub sat in the center of the room. to the back of it was a linens closet and to the right a large walk in shower with multiple directional shower heads. the counter tops were granite and in the middle sat a little bundle of beauty supplies. Tyler must have had someone bring them up. They were all my favorite brands of shampoos, conditioner, body wash, moisturizers and other heigene items. I decided I would take just a quick shower tonight though I really wanted to try out that tub, it will have to wait for another day. I turned the water on and adjusted it to the perfect temporature. While the water warmed up I crossed back to the door and turned the lock. Not that I didnt trust him I just felt more at ease that was. I striped off my clothing and jumped in. I had to adjust some of the shower heads to hit me right, The one that would normally hit Tylers middle back shot me straight in the face. I quickly washed and dried off. Then I realized I left the clothes in the other room.

Of all the careless thing I do this was one of the dumbest. Now I either have to call to tyler to have him bring them to me or walk out there in a towel. Both option were risky as an alpha and a Male the pull from matebond would be stronger for him and seeing me in a towel could be enough to send him over the edge of reason. Then again just by opening the door he will probably see either way just for a shorter duration.

I decide to just risk it. This day has unfolded completely different from anything I would have predicted why not let fate have one more go tonight.

Before I could talk myself out of it, I wrapped my towel tightly around my chest making sure all the goody bits where cover and unlocked the door. Taking a deep breathe I opened the door and stepped out into the room.

Tylers POV

As I waited for for Mae to wash up I cant help but reflect on the day. A day I thought would be the end of something now feels like the start of something new. If anyone were to have told me this morning I'd be granting her birthday wishes today I would have laugh and said they were out of their minds. But not only did I do just that but I currently got her naked in my shower. Ok well I'm not naked with her but Its still a big deal to me. The girl of my dreams Is in my room, in my shower, its taking every fiber of my being to sit here and behave. All I want to do is take her in my arm and promise her she will never have to be in pain again, I want to express to her all that she means to me in a way words can not express. Prove to her how worthy of love she is and grant her her every last wish and desire.

As my mind drifts off to fantasy land I hear the bathroom door unlock.

"Hey you want to watch a movie, I grabbed all the badly rated ones that have come out recently I figured you could-"

Shes in a towel! Shes in nothing but a towel! Alarms and whistle explode in my brain my wolf if howling to take right there. I start to get up wanting to be right beside her but I stop myself. Calm down boy don't get carried away there could be a perfectly reasonable explaination for this. Just breath.

"Umm... I forgot your clothes on the book shelf."

She points and waits for a moment. I think she wants me to grab them for her but I dont trust myself. I can feel my Wolf on the edge of taking control. If I move even a muscle I may not be able to contain him. I think she sensed my focus on my personal control and she crossed infront if the bed over to the shelf to gather them. On her way back towards the bathroom a breeze blew through the open balcony window blowing the towel up just enough to give me a little sneek peek of her cheeks. I growl my eyes darken and I grab onto the bed post to stable myself. She froze hearing my wolfs out burst and turned to face me.

"Im sorry... the wind...the towel... you're... beautiful..."

She needs to get back in there already before I lose all control. You'd think she take the hint and would have rushed off but she just stood there with a slight grimace on her face and I grew scared of what she could possibly be planning. A few moments passed and then she dropped the clothing straightened her stance and dropped the towel. Then everything went out of my control.
