The Alpha's Runaway Mate

Chapter twelve

Izzy’s POV

It all seems so unreal, and now I have to sit down and explain it all to Taylor, ugh.

I don’t even know where to begin. I got a few ideas, say Shay. I’m sure you do, but we need to actually talk, Shay.

Well, it will be talking just in another way! Shay! Will you please get your head out of the gutter? My head is just fine where it’s at; it’s you that needs to loosen up.

I get it, Shay. I know I do, I know Izzy, and I got your back, but I just want more for you. Well, for us.

I understand, Shay, and I want it too. I’m just scared, is all.

I know, but they are not going to hurt us. They can actually help us.

Let’s talk first, Shay, and see how it goes. Okay? That’s fair.

I strip off my clothes and walk into the shower, turning on the water till it’s just right. I wash my hair and my body.

What if he doesn’t want us? What if he thinks I’m lying?

Stop, just stop it Izzy. How do you know what could be if you don’t try?

I guess you’re right; it’s time to face him.

Turning off the water, I grab a fuzzy towel and wrap myself with it.

Dang it, I forgot my clothes trying to get away from Taylor again. Sure you did, laughs Shay.

I open the door, and Taylor was still sitting on the bed, he seems to be lost in thought.

I rush to the closet and grab something to put on. I get dressed, and when I walk out of the closet, Taylor still doesn’t realize I’m there.

I reach out and touch his face, snapping him out of whatever he was thinking about.

Taylor, I know you want to complete the mating bond. I do too, but I’m scared. What if you decide you don’t want us? Or we are not good enough for you? Or?

Izzy, don’t you know by now that you’re all I have ever wanted? I have been looking for you since I was sixteen, and now that I have you, I will never let you go.

What if you change your mind? I won’t, and I never will. Ry wants you both just as much as I do. As he pulls me closer to him, I can see in his eyes that everything he’s saying are his true feelings.

Taylor’s POV

Izzy is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I just wished she could see herself the way I see her.

Give her time, she will, said Ry. I will give her all the time in the world she needs. I just hope you’re ready for a lot of cold showers, Taylor says chuckling. It won’t be me that has the issues, I have, Shay.

It’s you that’s gonna be hard up.

I will handle it. Sure, you will, smirks Ry.

I guess I was so lost in thought I never heard Izzy come into the room. Until she touched my face, I think we should get you a hearing aid chuckles Ry. Shut it flea bag! Sighing, really Ry. You’re as bad as Jarred. That’s fine he annoys you just like I do Ry says laughing. Sighing,

Izzy I know you want to complete the mating bond. I do too, I’m scared just like you. Everything you say I could say it back to you. What if you decide you don’t want us? Or we are not good enough for you? It breaks my heart Izzy that you really think I would do that. Don’t you know by now that you’re all I have ever wanted?

I have been looking for you since I was sixteen, and now that I have you, I will never let you go.

What if you change your mind?

I won’t, and I never will. Ry wants you both just as much as I do. That’s all I could say to reassure her of my and Ry’s feelings for them.

I pull her closer and slowly begin to kiss her on her face, her neck, and then her lips. The kiss was soft and slow. I slowly began to deepen the kiss. We finally broke the kiss when neither of us could breathe.

It was incredible and it kept getting better and better.

I was so surprised when Izzy took a step back from me and dropped her towel. Telling me how much she wanted me and for us to complete mating.

“ Are you sure, my love? Yes, please, Taylor. I pulled her to me. I promise to make this the most memorable night you have ever had.”

Izzy blushes, and I can smell her arousal. It was the most intoxicating scent. I felt like I was drowning in it.

I spent the evening cherishing her body in every way possible.

I never knew that making love would feel this good.

Izzy’s POV

I never have been with anyone before, and it just feels right with Taylor, so I took the chance. It was the most amazing night of my life, and we both marked and mated. It was unbelievable. I have never felt this was about anyone before.

I can feel everything Taylor is feeling and everything he’s thinking. He was just as insecure as I was. And I can’t believe I am the only person he has ever been with.

It’s an amazing feeling. Knowing I am the only woman he has ever been intimate with.

I blush just thinking about all the things we did last night.

I could do that every night, and I would be the happiest woman on Earth.

“

You could, my love? Says Taylor. “ What? What we did last night, you want to do it every night? I can make that happen.”

Taylor, how did you know what I was thinking? I heard you say it.

“

No, I never said it out loud. I was only thinking it as I blush. You know you’re beautiful when you blush.”

“

I’m going to take a shower. Taylor just laughs. I go to the bathroom and do what I need to do. Then I walk in the shower and turn the shower on. I stand underneath the water, letting it cascade down my body. It felt so good, and my body was so sore.”

I could see in my mind all the things Taylor and I had done. It was amazing. A few minutes later, the door to the shower opened, and in walks the sexy man that I was blessed with.

I blush at seeing him naked. “ Babygirl, you know I’m yours. You can look all you want. Making me blush a deeper red.”

“

Taylor, we need to go talk to my grandma. I need answers. Yes, I know my love, but a shower first. Okay, sure. If that’s what you say, we’re going to do. He chuckles as he pulls me into him.

It took us way longer because we went a couple more rounds in the shower. It was invigorating.

We go downstairs and eat breakfast with everyone else. But since we took so long, we were the only ones there, which was fine with me. I love having Taylor to myself.

I feel the same way about you, baby girl. I blush; this is going to take some getting used to, being able to read each other’s minds.

I wonder if there is a way to block him from reading my mind. Yes, there is, says Shay, but are you sure you want to do that? The goddess did this for a reason. You’re right, Shay; I will learn to deal with it.

Taylor’s POV

It was the most amazing night I have ever had. And I could do it over and over again. Ry is over the moon. He loves being so connected to them. Looking at my mate and seeing how beautiful she is, I couldn’t be more lucky.

I love the fact that she knows exactly how I feel without having to say anything. It’s amazing to share this with her. But I know she is struggling with it. Shay told me just to give her time.

I will give her all the time in the world.

Babygirl, yes, Tay? Everyone is waiting for us in the conference room. Oh, okay, I’m ready.

We both get up and walk to the elevator. I hug her from behind; it’s going to be just fine.

We walk out of the elevator and walk into the conference room, and Izzy grabs her head and starts to fall to her knees. I grab her, and everything starts playing out in slow motion.

The Black blood line grandma’s story.

I was seven years old when my parents were killed. I was smuggled out a week before the war. My parents were King Arlo and Queen Iris Black, they reigned over all the kingdoms: eastern, southern, northern, and western.

A man named Cassius Grant wanted me for our bloodline; he knew we had special abilities that the moon goddess herself has given to us.

As we are direct descendants of the moon goddess herself. My mother and father hid me so Cassius was never able to find me.

My parents gave up their lives to protect me. I was raised by Freya Martin, my nanny. I grew up in the Silver Moon pack, where your grandfather was Alpha Harts’ son.

Alpha Hart was a fair man and treated me and my nanny well. I went to school, and my nanny worked in the pack house.

I kept my head down, got good grades, and stayed out of trouble. Freya became my mother, and I loved her dearly.

I had just turned eighteen when Cassius showed up at the pack house, looking for my nanny and me, but by the time he found us, I was already mated to your grandfather, and Cassius had no idea what I looked like, so I thought.

He found Freya a week later, when he had rogues kill her when he attacked Silver Moon pack. I was locked in a safe room when the attack occurred. I lost everything that day, the last of my family. A few months later, I found out I was pregnant with your mom; it was the most happy day of my life.

My powers from the moon goddess were simple: I was able to see the future, but I was never able to change the future; I was not given that ability. Even if I told that person what was going to happen, it would change certain events but not the outcome.

The goddess told me that my daughter’s daughter would change the course of the Black family.

I knew then that Cassius knew who I was, and he would hunt Izzy down no matter what it cost.

She would be the one to change everything. Janie never got any powers, and I believe that was because of what Cassius and Pete would do to her to get to you.

You my dear girl you hold the future of our family, you were meant for great things. After my parents were killed Cassius took over the throne. He’s never married. And I have never been able to go home.

I believe that is why Selene mated you with Taylor, he is the most powerful werewolf there is.

You my dear Izzy were meant for great things. Cassius does not know where you are at this moment, and that is a good thing. Embrace what gifts the goddess is giving you because you both will need them in the future if we are meant to survive.

I can not tell you the future but I can tell you that you have time to prepare. He will not attack till your twenty fifth birthday. When you are granted your last gift from the moon goddess.

Build your bond with Taylor. You both are going to need it to survive Cassius. He will not stop till he has you. but what he does not know is the moon goddess gave you and Taylor the same gifts.

if you can keep him from finding that out we might have a chance.

I look at Taylor and he smiles at me, we will be okay babygirl we will win. I promise you.
