The Alphas Mate

5.

Layla’h 

The last couple of weeks have flown by. Chris and I are happy. I keep going to school while he does what he does as Alpha. I show up to the pack house after school everyday. I either do my homework with Lexi in one of the common rooms, where Chris normally comes to find me before sitting down with me and works wherever I am or I sit in his office with him. We have dinner with everybody before either heading to his room or back to my house. Every now and then Chris has to go on boarder patrol, so he shows up in bed in the middle of the night. Most of the pack seem happy for us, none of them knowing that we’re not mates. I’ve had a couple more run ins with Natalie and her b***h pack and I make sure to text Chris as soon as it happens now that I know he gets emailed by the school. Chris has made me apply to a couple of collages and still wants me to be able to go and it still feels like the right decision to me. I’ve just finished the essay for the last one tonight. I had nothing better to do with Chris not home. He had an Alpha meeting at one of the neighbouring packs, he rang me earlier to let me know he was staying over night and probably wouldn’t be home until tomorrow afternoon. It’s the first night since my birthday at we haven’t slept in the same bed and I think it’s causing Mazie some anxiety, she’s been pacing around in my head all afternoon growling. I’ve tried asking her a couple of times what’s wrong but she doesn’t answer so I’ve just left her be. I climb into bed and curl up on Chris’s side that smells like him to help me sleep and try to settle Mazie. She lies down with her head between her paws whimpering and I manage to drift off to sleep.  

“Layla’h. Layla’h, you need to get up!” I can hear Mazie in my head.  

“No Mazie, I’m sleeping” 

“Layla’h it’s important you must get up. Now!” She growls at me. She’s never been pushing or angry at me before. I have no idea what her problem is. My eyes slowly peel open and I look at the clock beside my bed.  

“Mazie it’s 11:50pm, what is the problem?” 

“We need to shift! You need to get to the forest. Quick!”  

“What, why now?” 

“Just quick Layla’h” I climb out of bed following her instruction because I’m not sure what else to do and head out the back wearing just the t-shirt I went to bed in. I head for the forest with Mazie barking at me to move faster. I pick up the pace, running to get to where she wants me to go. 5 minutes pass before I get to the little lake hidden on all sides by the forest.  

“Here” Mazie barks at me. I’m not looking forward to this. The last couple of times she’s made me shift it’s been so painful that we stopped doing it. I don’t know why she wants to do it tonight but before I can put much though into it I’ve already started the process. I move to the back of my mind letting Mazie take control. I can hear my bones breaking and popping before I loose site. The next thing I know Marie’s opening her eyes and everything around us comes into sharp focus.  

“Umm Mazie, it wasn’t painful. Why didn’t it hurt?”  

“You are 18 now and it’s a full moon” she says as she tips her head back so I can see through her eyes the moon in all it’s glory. I watch from the back of my mind as Mazie pads over to the lake and looks down at the reflection. The first thing I notice is the black spot over her left eye. That’s never been there before and then I notice her eye colour. Staring back at us is sharp silver eyes when they use to be blue just like mine.  

“Mazie,  we have silver eyes, shouldn't they be blue?”  

“We are special Layla’h. The moon goddess made us special.”  

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” I ask getting annoyed at her lack of actual answer.  

“You will find out over time.”  

“Mmff!” That’s still not an answer but she can be stubborn so I know better than to keep trying. She looks at us in the lake for a few more minutes before taking off in a run. I sit back and just watch. It’s been 6 months since the last time she was out in wolf form. She runs for hours, rolling around on the forest floor, jumping over logs, splashing through creeks. On and on she goes until the sun starts to rise. She takes us home again stopping at the edge of the forest behind our house before shifting back. The shift back is quick and painless leaving me on the forest floor naked. Every muscle and bone in my body aches from the hours of exercise. I drag myself back inside, only just climbing into bed before passing out.  I wake to my name bring yelled through the house.  

“Layla’h! Layla’h” It’s sounds like Rhys. What the hell does he want. Instead of answering him I stick my face into the pillow and try to ignore him, hoping he will go away. I'm so tired. I can hear his footsteps around the house, it sounds like his checking all the rooms. 

“Layla’h, oh thank god. You’re here.” I hear him say from my bedroom doorway. Damn it, he doesn't give up. I don't know or care why he's here.  

“Mmmh” Is all I can manage to get out. I hear his light foot steps bring him closer to the bed.  

“Layla’h, are you alright? You weren’t at training and Chris would kill me if anything happened to you while he was away” he comments. Oh so he's freaking out over me not being at training and worried that his alpha will be mad at him. Still feeling bone tired I wave my arm at him to show him I’m alive and fine hoping he will leave me alone to sleep more.  

“Layla’h, you have a stick and some leaves in your hair. What have you been doing?” I feel him pull bits gently from my hair. s**t I must look like a mess. I didn’t shower when I came in. Just went straight to bed.  “Mazie” I manage to finally moan out to him.  

“What?”  

“Mazie” I try again. “She made me shift last night” I finally roll over on to my back and peel an eye open to look at him. 

“Wooh, holy s**t short stuff you look terrible, what did she do roll around the forest all night?” He says laughing. Jokes on him though because that’s exactly what she did.  

“Yeah pretty much. She woke me up just before midnight and told me we had to shift and then spent the whole night running around. She left me on the back yard just as the sun came up. I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck.”  

“f**k Layla’h. When was the last time you shifted?” 

“6 months” 

“Man, Chris is gonna kill me. Come on sit up. We need to get you cleaned up.” Rhys ends up having to sit me up himself as when I tried to move my body wouldn’t do what I wanted it to. He pulls the hair tie from my hair and sits on the bed next to me to pick out and the leaves and sticks. I just sit there with my eyes closed holding the sheet to my chest as he works. Once he’s satisfied he’s got everything he gets up and walks across the room to the bathroom. I hear the shower turn on before he comes back to me.  

“Okay let’s get you in the shower.. oh hold up” he says as his phone starts ringing.  

“Yeah I found her, ummm she’s a bit worse for wear but she’ll be alright, no you go to school Lex I’ll get her sorted, yeah I know, okay I’ll see you later.” He has a whole conversation with Lexi before finally hanging up.  

“Okay let’s go” he says to me before picking me up and carrying me to the bathroom. He sits me on the shower floor with the sheet still wrapped around my body. He places my shampoo, conditioner and body wash on the floor next to me before stepping out.  

“You know Chris will kill me if I see you naked Layla’h so you need to do this part yourself. I’ll change the sheets on your bed and make you something to eat. Wash up and I’ll be back in a minute for you.” He says before walking out and closing the door behind him. I sit in the shower letting the hot water beat down on my sore muscles for a while before getting enough energy to move. I slowly peel the sheet off me and wash the dirt off my skin. Once that’s done I shampoo my hair twice before conditioning. Raising my hair off I finally pull myself to my feet and wash again before turning the shower off and getting out. I grab a towel and dry off, finding Rhys had left my a t-shirt and panties to get dressed in. I end up sitting on the toilet lid while I brush my teeth, my legs to weak to hold me up for long and that’s where I am when Rhys comes back. He blow dries and brushes my hair for me before picking me up and carrying me back to bed. He sits me up leaning against the headboard before he sits next to me handing me a tray of food.  

“Eat short stuff” I do as I’m told and watch out of the corner of my eye as Rhys eats his breakfast too. Once I’m halfway through he finally speaks up.  

“So you wanna tell me what happened?” Shrugging my shoulders I tell him what I know.  

“Mazie told me we had to shift. Made me run through the forest until I got to that lake back there, then we shifted.  She didn’t tell me why before she spent the whole night running around playing in the forest.”  

“Was it painful again? Is that why you look like this?” Rhys knows all about the trouble I've had with shifting, our whole group knows. It's a bit hard to keep a secret when your bestfriends is the Alpha and his sister. 

“No. It didn’t hurt at all and was really fast.”  

“Mmmh, we should probably talk to Chris but I think you should start shifting more so you don’t end up like this all the time.” He waves his hand around indicating the mess I am. I just shrug as I have nothing to add to the conversation and go back to eating. Rhys takes my tray once I’ve finished eating and tells me to go back to sleep. I snuggle down and close my eyes just as he leaves the room.  

I don’t know how long I slept for but I wake to soft voices just outside the door before I feel the bed dip and strong arms wrap around me. I peak my eyes open and see Chris’s sparkly green eyes staring back at me concerned.  “Hi Baby” He whispers to me softly, kissing the tip of my nose. I snuggle my face into his chest.  “Hi” I say into his chest."I'm sorry I wasn't here last night. If I was, I would have been able to get Mazie to shift back before she spent a whole night running around." he says sounding guilty. It didn't even cross my mind that Chris would have been able to command Mazie to shift back, being an Alpha and all. But at the time it didn't worry me that Mazie was running around all night because it's been so long since the last time we had shifted.

"It's... Not.... Your.... Fault." I tell him around a yawn. 

"Shhh Baby, go back to sleep we'll talk about this in the morning." He decides rolling so that his on his back with me laying on his chest. His arms wrapped tightly around my back. It doesn't take me long to fall back to sleep with the sound of Chris's heat beat beneath my ear. I wake early the next morning, I'm still lying on Chris's chest. I can tell his still fast asleep by the steady beat of his heart drumming in my ear and his warm even breaths against the top of my head. Peaking my eyes open I can just see a little bit of light coming through the gap in the curtains, so it's just going dawn. Which means I have enough time to have a shower before having to go to training. Before moving I decide to test how sore my muscles are by wiggling my toes a little. Doesn't feel to bad, I think once I've showered I should feel 100%. Deciding to get up I start to pull away from Chris. I don't get far before his arms tighten around me pulling me back toward him. He lets out a contented sigh and continues to sleep once he's got me back to his chest. I try again and end up with the same result. His arms tighten around me pulling me back so I'm plastered against his chest.

"Where you going Baby?" I hear his low gravelly morning voice in my hair. 

"To have a shower before training."

"Mmmm, I don't think so." He continues to hold on to me so I can't go anywhere. "Stay in bed with me." He says, more a command then a question. I shake my head before reminding him both of us need to get up for training.

"You have to get up for training too, so we can't stay in bed." 

"Nah, Luke kicked me out. I'm not allow to got to training anymore after the other day." Mmh, I forgot about that. Luke threw him out of training when Chris almost lost because Tony hit me too hard for Chris's liking. 

"Well I still need to go. I need the exercise." I try telling him.

"I can think of a couple of ways we could exercise, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it more then training with Luke." His sultry voice tells me as his hands make their way under my t-shirt, skimming up my sides before stopping on my ribcage, his thumbs rubbing back and forth across the side of my boobs. His words and the small flick of his thumbs is enough to start a fire in my core, making me let out a small moan. Hearing me moan Chris decides to push his advantage, flipping us so I'm now on my back underneath him. His head dips to run his nose up along my neck before he starts to trail kisses and licks across my skin. Still holding my sides, his bare chest rubs against mine, only just giving me enough friction for my n*****s to pebble under my shirt.

"Chris" I moan, not sure what I'm moaning for. He takes it as his que to continue. Moving his head further south. He hovers over my chest for a second, blowing his warm breath against my shirt covered n****e before his mouth descends sucking my n****e through my shirt into his mouth. My back arches up on it's own accord pushing my chest further into his face. He sucks on me for a few seconds before moving to give my other n****e the same attention as the first. My hands run over his head latching on to his hair, I can feel the moisture start to pool between my legs the longer his sucks. It's like flames slowly licking through my body heading straight to my core. Chris pulls away, sitting us both up as he gently tugs at the hem of my t-shirt to pull it up over my head leaving me naked apart from my panties. I smash my lips to his once the t-shirt is over my head. Chris wastes no time cupping my beasts kneading them gently his tongue seeking entrance to my mouth while he pushes me back to the bed. Parting my lips I give him access, his tongue invading my mouth licking every corner. A hand skirts down my body, stopping to lightly skim across my panties. My hips buck needing more friction against my core. 

"Please" I beg as his fingers continue to dance lightly across my p***y never pushing down hard enough. Teasing me, truanting me but never giving me 100% what I need. Ever nerve ending in my body is on fire, wetness pooling between my thighs. 

"Still want to go to training Baby?" Chris asks against my lips. All I can do is shake my head no as I wither beneath him, my nails digging into his shoulders. 

"Oh goddess, please" I plead with him. The way he's teased me it won't take much to push me over the edge. I feel it building inside of me. Chris sits back on his heels, moving both hands to grip the sides of my panties before I hear them rip. He throws them off the side of the bed as he finally runs the fingers on his other hand down my slit. 

"So wet Baby" he growls before pushing a finger inside me. He's right, I'm that wet that his finger glides smoothly inside me. 

"Oh f**k yes!" I moan as my hips buck off the bed. He pumps his finger in and out a few times before adding a second, stretching my opening wider. His thumb circles my c**t while he leans back over me sucking on the side of my neck. He continues to pump his fingers inside me making the pressure build. I'm so close. 

"Fuuuuck! I'm going to come." I scream as his fingers curl inside me hitting the right spot. Chris's moves back to my t**s, leaving bites all over my chest before sucking a n****e into his mouth. My inner walls quiver around his fingers and he bites down hard on my n****e sending a bolt of pain/pleasure to my core pushing me over the edge. My orgasm is like a tsunami washing over me in one big wave. Chris continues pumping his fingers in and out of me as I slowly come back down. Not giving me time to recover before the next orgasm starts to build.

"f**k I missed you Baby" he growls into my chest as he leaves kisses across my skin. My hips are grinding against his hand as his fingers slowly coach another orgasm to the surface. Threading my finger through his hair I pull to bring his face back to mine. I feel his hardness against my thigh as I bite his bottom lip. 

"I need you inside me." I pant into his mouth as he continues to play my body. Fingers and mouth hitting all the right spots. 

"What!?" Chris asks as he pulls away enough to stare into my eyes, his hands stop moving as he studies me. I understand why he's stopped as much as it frustrates me, cutting off my orgasm just as I was about to go over the edge again. We have never gone that far before. We always stop just before we have s*x. We've gotten each other off more then once over the last couple of weeks but we haven't had s*x yet. This will be a first.

"You, Chris! I need you. Now!" I almost scream at him in frustration, wrapping my legs around his waist so that my core lines up with his hard length. I rub against him causing a groan to fall from his lips. He's still wearing his boxes that he must of come to bed in last night. So I use my feet to start pushing them down over his ass trying to get rid of them. 

"Baby are you sure? We don't have to you know that right." he asks gently still staring into my eyes. I know he's asking because this is not only our first time having s*x but my first time. I'm still a virgin. I know Chris has slept with a couple of girls over the years. He's an Alpha male, they are known for having a high s*x drive. I nod knowing this is something I want to do. I have been waiting until I turned 18 for this. I was going to give myself to Chris once we knew we were mates. That all got messed up but the last few weeks have been amazing with Chris and I don't want to wait anymore. 

"f**k Baby" he groans smashing his lips back to mine. He kisses me passionately while pulling his boxes the rest of the way off. I feel him line himself up to my entrance. Pushing his tip gently against me. 

"This is going to hurt a little Baby but I'm be as gently as possible." He pushes into me slowly inch by inch, stretching me. Taking his time letting me adjust to the sensation of being filled. He keeps going until he hits some resistances.

"Look at me Baby, I want you to keep your eyes on me. Okay?" He says as he stops. He waits for me to look at him and nod before he moves again. He pushes through the thin barrier in one quick thrust till he's fully seated inside me before he stops moving again. The pain is instance, stealing my breath. Tears springing to my eyes and slowly roll down my face. "Oh goddess that hurts" I cry out.

"Breath Baby, just breath" he gently reminds me kissing the tears from my face. I stuck in a breath and start breathing again. "You tell me when your ready Baby, I won't move until you're good." He stays dead still, dotting kisses over my eyelids, cheeks, nose, lips, across my jaw and down my neck as I wait for the pain to subside. He mouth comes back to mine, softly running his lips over mine, he sucks my bottom lips between his teeth before biting down on it hard making me gasp. His tongue flicks over running over the sting to smooth it away and it's enough to take my mind off the pain and make my hip gently rock against his. He picks up on the motion without me saying anything and slowly slide out of me to his tip before pushing back in. There's a slight sting with the first couple of thrusts before the pleasure completely takes over and I'm right back to being on the very edge of my second orgasm. Chris picks up speed as I tighten my legs around his waist.

"f**k Baby, you feel so good." he groans.

I'm nothing but a moaning, panting mess as each thrust becomes harder and faster. My orgasm builds making my legs shake and my inner walls tighten around his c**k. Chris knows I'm close as he growls in my ear. 

"Come for me Baby, come on my cock." he bites down on my neck just below my ear and that's all I need. I explore around him, screaming his name. My orgasm takes over, fire licking through my body as wave after wave hits. Chris pumps into me a couple more times before pulling out groaning my name, ropes of his warm seed hitting my stomach as he cums too before collapsing on top of me. We're both panting trying to catch our breath as we come down from our high. A few minutes pass before Chris rolls off me giving me a kiss on the forehead as he gets off the bed.

"I'll be back in a second" he tells me as he walks to the bathroom. I lie were I am, my eyelids fluttering closed as my body relaxes not wanting to move. I hear Chris's soft footsteps coming back to the bed before a soft warm wash cloth runs across my stomach cleaning away the mess. My eyelids flicker open in time to see Chris drop the cloth on the floor before he climbs back into bed wrapping his arms around me, settling me on his chest before pulling the blankets back up around us. He runs his hand up and down my back as his heart beat lures me back to sleep. Chris wakes me about an hour later for round two and three before we fall asleep again. The next time he wakes me, he's picking me up to carry me to the bath where I soak my muscles while he washes my hair and softly cleans me before we go for round four. This continues all day, napping for a while before having s*x again. We spend the whole day in my bed only leaving late that night when Chris cooks us dinner.   

The last two months roll passed in a blur of school work and Chris. We spend every spare minute with each other, it's getting closer to graduation and we both know that our time together is getting shorter and shorter. I got a couple of acceptance letters for collages around the country back a couple of weeks ago and have made my pick on which one I'm going to attend. It means that I won't be living on pack land in a couple of months time. High school graduation is on Monday and then it's summer holidays for the next 3 months in which I will need to pack and shop for all the things I need for the next 9 months of Collage. So we spend as much time together as we can because soon we'll only see each other on weekends when I come home and holidays. That is how I find myself currently sitting curled up on Chris's lap while he is having a meeting with some of the pack warriors while I read a book. I'm not paying attention to what they are talking about. I'm not interested. I'm not Luna so I don't really need to know. Chris and I haven't talked about me being Luna as he knows I want to go to collage so these no point in starting down that road yet. Some of the pack as been talking s**t about why Chris hasn't marked me and made me Luna yet. It's really annoying but there's nothing I can do about what others say so I ignore them the best I can. 

Chris and the warriors conversation is cut dead when the office door is thrown open. I look up to see who it is, wondering who is stupid enough to barge in without knocking. 

"b***h, I have been looking everywhere for you, don't you know how to answer your phone." Lexi grumbles as she walks in, eyes on me, not paying attention to the other people in the room. 

"Lexi!" Chris growls at her. "What do you want, I'm currently in the middle of a meeting here" he points towards the warriors sitting opposite him. 

"I'm here for her, we need to go shopping to get our dresses for graduation." she answers him while pointing at me. I roll my eyes at her as I close my book and start to get up before Chris pulls me back down. 

"Where do you think you're going?" he asks me quietly.

"You know she's not going to leave until I go with her, so I may as well get this over with." 

"Fine" he grumbles not happy with me going before giving me a quick kiss and letting me go. 

"I'll see you later." I tell Chris before says goodbye to the warriors sitting there quietly watching everything that's going on.

"Oh Alpha Xavier just arrived too by the way." Lexi tells Chris as we're walking out his office door before she closes it and we make our way towards the back door by the kitchen. It's the fastest way to get to the garage with is where our car's are parked.
