The Wolf's Guardian

CHAPTER 7. HAVING PUPS

ANDREW'S POV

I know she is enjoying this, too. She is returning the kiss with the same need as me. I know I said I could take it slow, but right now, there is so much passion in just this one kiss that I don't know if I am going to be able to stop. I don't have to wait much because out of nowhere, she stops and looks at me with tears in her eyes. I want to reach for her, but she moves really fast.

"This is wrong. I can't do it!" She tells me crying and opening the door of my truck and running to her house.

"Go after her, you idiot." My wolf encourages me.

I run out of the truck and go after her.

"Evey, please, let's talk about it." I beg her. Her eyes turn to look at me with a hint of sadness and confusion.

"We can't do this. Is wrong. My mate... You deserve someone without baggage, I will never stop loving my mate, I can't subject you to that kind of torture." Her look is now resolute, but my determination is bigger.

"You are mine and will be mine for as long as I live. Let me decide what I want for my life. Let me at least try to win your heart. Don't shut me out like this yet, not without giving me the proper chance to fight for you." I get closer to her with every word I'm saying, but I keep my hands to either side, I don't want to scare her if I touch her. I mean each one of my words, I am not giving up. I have waited too long for her, I can wait longer if she gives me hope.

"I can't promise that I will be ready anytime soon or at all." She says, but to me, that means she is accepting me, and that is all I need. I can't help the smile on my face. It is really hard to contain the need to touch her, but I have to remember that she needs time, I have to play very carefully if I want to get closer to her.

"I am in no rush. We will go slow." I assure her, and I earn me a cute smile.

"I have to go in. I have a lot to do. Can we talk later?" She is still too shy to look at me. She is looking down. I will teach her never to be shy around me.

"It is getting late anyway. I have to go back to my pack before Allpha Colt loses his mind. his first born is being born right now, and there were some complications with his mate. My pack and my Alpha need me right now." I have been here longer than I should, I still have to drive 4 hours to get to White Creek. If Alexia is not doing well, Colt is going to lose it, and he could do something stupid.

"I will see you tomorrow then." She says, giving me a smile, and I can't stop myself. I give her a chaste kiss on the lips and turn around before she says anything. I see her go inside her small cottage and close the door behind her. How is it possible that I don't even know her, and I already need her with me.

"Better start thinking what you are going to tell Cindy. We can't bring our mate home before we end things with the other shewolf." My wolf reminds me, sending me crashing back to reality. f**k, I forgot about her. I was supposed to see her later tonight. I was going to sort of propose to her, I asked her favorite restaurant to have dinner ready for us and delivered to her place. I was going to make it special for her and pop the question. I don't know exactly what she feels about me, but we have a good relationship, we have been friends for a while, we train together and a life with her was going to be easy, but now that I have found my mate and I kissed her, I could never be with another shewolf or any woman for that matter. Evey is just great. She has a certain innocence that makes me want to hold her and hide her from everything. I can also tell she is determined and doesn't let others tell her what to do, and I love that, there is always something sexy and attractive about a woman who has a little fiest in her.

It is almost 10:00 PM by the time I make it to White Creek border. The guards give me a nod and open the iron gate that secures the entrance to our pack, as I continue the way, the town looks eerily quiet, and I wonder if this got worse with Alexia's condition. How did Pam enter our land undetected? Everything our Luna felt was true. Someone was watching her, and we discarded it because we didn't see it, we took her for crazy, and now it is too late to do anything.

"Cindy, I am so sorry. I just got back, but I have to find out what's going on with Luna, and then I would like to talk to you." I mindlink my soon to be ex-girlfriend, hoping that she is still awake and that she wants to see me. I have to end things to be able to start free with Evey.

"I am not even disappointed, Beta, is not like you haven't stood me up for work before. I ate dinner without you, it was from my favorite restaurant so I couldn't stop myself." She would've been a good mate. She never complains and has a good sense of humor. I hope she takes my news well.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. Listen, I have to go. I need to check on Colt. But I have to talk to you, please wait for me. It shouldn't take long."

"Sorry, but I have training early in the morning. Harold will be leading, and I want to be completely awake to take his torture. You know how he is." I can't wait another day, but I can't force her to see me.

" Fine, I will look for you after training. Let's have breakfast." I suggest hopeful.

"That sounds good, see you tomorrow." Just a few more hours, and I will get this over with.

The morning couldn't get fast enough, I slept very little. With the emotions of the day, it was just hard to find rest. I could not let go of the image of my beautiful mate and the sweet taste of her lips, I need her to come with me as soon as possible!

I also kept thinking about Colt, I haven't seen my Alpha so distraught before. Even when Alexia was kidnapped, he still remained calm while trying to rescue her, but last night was a whole other thing. He nearly killed the doctor when he told him he didn't know if his mate would ever wake up. Luckily, I came just in time to prevent him from doing more harm.

"Did you see how at ease he was when he was holding his son?" My wolf reminds me.

"I do. It was like suddenly nothing else existed. He even smiled at the little bundle and wouldn't let go of him." It was good to see Colt like that. The sadness of his mate's condition seemed to diminish as he held his son.

"I want pups with our mate." My wolf says longingly.

"So do I, bud, so do I, but you know what our mate said, she can't have children, plus even if she could, it is going to take a while to accept us." I respond sad. I want my mate, and I wanted a family. I hope she is mistaken about her issues conceiving.
