The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter eighteen

Taylors’s POV

You are so beautiful. I have loved you before I even met you.

I have dreamed of this day for so long. When I got here today, I could smell you, but you weren’t here. It about broke my heart. Because you are all I have ever wanted.

I cupped her face and slowly pushed my lips to hers, softly kissing her.

It was slow and soft. It was amazing. I licked her lower lip with my tongue. She gasped, and I pushed my tongue in her mouth, tasting her as our tongues battled. Until we both were out of air.

That was amazing. That’s all I could say. She was the moon and the sun all wrapped up into one.

I know most mates mate right away, but I want to go at Izzy’s pace.

I stand up and put out my hand to her. She slowly puts her delicate hand in mine. It fits perfectly.

It was meant for her. I pull her to me, holding her for the first time, making sure there was nothing between us but our clothes. Even that was too much.

I kiss her forehead and tell her let’s go and join the party.

Besides, it’s your birthday. And the party is for you. So let’s go and have some fun, birthday girl.

Izzy’s POV

I can’t believe what just happened. He kissed me. He told me he loves me. That he wants me.

You mean he wants US. Says Shay. Yes, I mean Us, Shay. We are a package deal, I giggle.

His wolf is Ry, and I can’t wait to meet him, says Shay.

Shay, we have to be careful. Remember? Yes, I know, but he will protect us.

How do you know that, Shay? Because Ry told me.

We spent the rest of the night talking, dancing, and eating.

He introduced me to his Beta, Jarred. He’s a really nice guy, but he loves teasing Taylor.

I found out my brothers are mated to Taylor, and Jarred’s sisters are so great they deserved to be happy.

Now the only one left is Devin. I hope he finds her soon.

It was a wonderful evening with my family and friends.

I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us.

Taylor said he needed to talk to me and my brothers tomorrow. I tried to get him to tell me what’s going on, but he wouldn’t budge.

After everyone finally went home, I started picking up things, and my brothers all joined in.

I thought Taylor, Alicia, Sara, and Jarred would just sit around and watch, but no, they all joined in helping clean.

Taylor even washed dishes with Liam. Alicia told Taylor that she was going to tell her mom and dad that she had finally seen Taylor do manual labor.

Everyone started laughing. Taylor threw the sponge at her, hitting her in the arm.

Oh, the pain, Tay, the pain. Alicia, you’re so dramatic.

While rolling his eyes at her. Which made everyone laugh even more.

Of course, Jarred had to put his two cents in. Which Taylor chased Jarred down the street while the rest of us just watched and laughed.

Taylor and I took a walk in the forest. It was romantic. I never thought I would ever find my mate, let alone him being an Alpha. He was so easy to talk to.

I’m worried about what he wants to talk about tomorrow.

We got back, and everyone had already gone to bed.

Jarred went back to his pack and said he would be here in the morning to pick everyone up.

We went to my room, and Taylor found some clothes on the bed for him.

I’m going to take a shower, Taylor. When I’m done, if you would like one, the shower is yours.

Thank you. I would like that, says Taylor.

I blush. It’s not a problem at all.

Taylor grabs my hand and pulls me towards him. I love the feel of his body next to mine.

Just jump his bones, says Shay. Making me blush even more. Shay!!

Well, don’t tell me you haven’t thought about it, she says laughing, knowing my face turned a deep red.

Taylor looks amused. I take it you’re talking to Shay. I’m going to go take a shower, pulling out of his arms, running to the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind me.

You can hear Taylor laughing at us.

I take my shower and throw on a pair of pajama shorts and a shirt.

I walk out, brushing my hair. Taylor walks over and takes the brush out of my hand, turns me around, and starts to brush my hair out.

I blush. He just smiles and leans down, kissing me on my neck. I get really nervous, and he can see it.

He chuckles and tells me he’s going to go take a shower. While he’s in the shower, I turn on the Tv and put on one of the John Wick movies.

I guess at some point I fell asleep because when I woke up, Taylor was in bed cuddling me.

It was the best sleep I have had in a long time.

I lay there just looking at him. He is so gorgeous even when he’s sleeping.

I reach over, tracing my hands down his abs. He finally grabs my hand and tells me I might find more than I want to find. I turn deep red, and he just laughs.

Tell him we want to see it, says Shay. No, Shay!! Come on, he has his morning woodie. What? Just look at the blanket, she says, laughing.

I look at the blanket and see what Shay was talking about. Shay!!! Covering my head with the blanket. Turning a deep red, while Taylor just laughs.

Come on, Izzy, Jarred will be here soon. Pulling me from the bed.

I get up and go in my closet and pull out a pair of jeans, a green T-shirt, and a pair of white sneakers.

I get dressed and tell Taylor I will meet him in the kitchen so I can make breakfast.

Okay, I will see you there. I kiss him lightly on the lips and run out the door. He just shakes his head, chuckling, and enters the bathroom.
