His little mate

Chapter 13

Marcus POV

Yesterday was amazing. My family accepted my mate! I am so happy right now. My little mate was a little nervous about them and I know she still is, I think she is a little scared of them, because of the power the give of. And I know when she is used to it she will like them. When I opened the door yesterday she cowered away behind my back but at the table when everyone was enjoying her delicious food she relaxed a little, she even answered some questions!

Now I am lying in bed with my beautiful little mate, she is still asleep. I think she was exhausted from yesterday and the day before that. She was stressing about my parents, could not sleep well because of her nightmares and she made a lot of food. I can still feel that the nightmares are in her head, even with me beside her, she struggles to get out of my hold in the middle of the night when she is still asleep, or she mumbles in her sleep. I am happy I can get her to calm down and that she sleeps on.

It is 8 AM and normally this is when she wakes up, and like clockwork she begins to stir. After a few minutes she wakes up. “Hey little mate, did you sleep well?” I asked her, this made her blush, I love her blush. “Yes, thank you. Did you sleep well?” she asked me and I am really happy that she is talking to me like it is normal. “Yes, I slept great.” I just kept smiling at her. She was not fully awake jet and it looked like she was about to fall back asleep, but then we heard screaming and little feet running in the hall, and she was awake.

She tried to sit up but I was still holding on to her, and she failed. “It are just the twins, they are usually awake at this time but my parents always fail to keep them quiet and everyone locks the doors so they cannot come in. but our door is still unlocked, because I do not want you to feel trapped in anyway.” I told her, because I know how she feels about locks, she told me when I locked the bathroom door for the first time, she panicked, because I was a locked door away and she had no idea where to go or what to do. She started to hyperventilate, and since then I do not lock any doors.

And after a minute of running and screaming it stopped, right in front of our door. I signed Anna to be quiet and to act like she was asleep. She did just that and I copied her. Then we heard the door open, and in came the twins. They are adorable, but not in the morning when you try to sleep. After a few seconds they jumped on top of the bed and started to jell at us to get up. I protected Anna from them jumping on top of her, because they come down with a lot of force. She started to giggle and when the boys started to laugh to I joined them.

“Oh, so you two think this is funny, jumping on us at 8:30 in the morning and waking us up?” I asked them in my semi angry voice while smiling, Anna started to tremble a little, like she was really scared of my voice and I pulled her closer to me to comfort her. The twins looked at me and lowered there heads, but they could not hold there laugh. And they started soon after they stopped and they joined us in the bed. Anna had calmed down and she looked at the twins, they were just getting in the bed, without asking, they always did that when they where here.

“How about you two go get showered and dressed and then we will do the same and then we can get some breakfast downstairs?” I asked them. And within a few seconds they ran out of the door to do as I had said. “So, do you want to shower first, or should I?” I asked her, nut when I was done speaking and I looked at her I saw a trace of fear on her face, I always saw it when I mentioned showering, I wondered what they had done to her that she was that afraid of a shower. “I-I will go first” she told me and she tried to stand up to go shower but I stopped her. “You know nothing is going to happen to you in the shower right? I am a door away if there is something wrong you just have to yell.” I told her. She nodded to me and tried to get out of my grip, and I let her go. She went into the bathroom, but before she closed the door she said “I know, thank you for being uhm… patient with me. I-I am doing my best, and I trust you. I am just trying to get uhm… you know… used to everything.” Whit that said she closed the door, and left me with my mouth open, this was the first time she told me that she trusted me. And soon a smile formed on my face, she trusted me. I was more than happy and I do not think anything can make this smile come of my face.

Anna’s POV

Why did say that to him, why, why did I say it? I asked myself. What will he think of me now. Will he think I am ready for him now because I am not! “You need to calm down Anna, he will not think that he will wait until you tell him or when you make th first move. He will wait for you. Did you not hear what he said about the shower? He knows you do not like them because he knows something happened to us that involves showers. So just calm down take the shower and go and feed those adorable twins.” Hope said to me, the last part made me laugh. But she was right, so I went into the shower and got out quickly to get dressed.

When I walked out of the bathroom Marcus was sitting on the bed with his phone. When I walked out he looked at me smiling. “You look beautiful, like always.” He walked to me and hugged me. When he pulled back I was blushing and he just looked at me. He kissed me on my nose and let me go. “How about you put on some shoes while I get ready so we can go down together.” He told me I just nodded my head and he let me go and went into the bathroom.

He was in the bathroom so I took my time to calm down and then I walked to the closet were al the clothes and shoes were. He is really obsessed with me wearing shoes. I looked into the closet and we each had our own side of the closet. His was filled with a lot of clothes, to many to wear, I do not think he can wear everything in his live. My side was not even filled for a quarter, but I liked it that way. It meaned that I did not have a hard time choosing and that there was not much or any money spent on me, but Marcus wants to take me shopping. I do not really like that, I do not even know my size! But somehow he does. Within five weeks he knows almost everything of me, and I know almost nothing about him.

I was thinking about this when I heard the bathroom open. I quickly broke away from my thoughts and looked at what I was wearing, normal bleu jeans with a red pully and black socks. Marcus had gotten me three pairs of shoes, white sneakers, black sneakers and a pair of brown boots. I quickly picked the black sneakers and went to sit on the floor to put them on. When I was finished with one shoe and starting with the second one Marcus came in looking for me. He looked a little confused seeing me on thee floor. But when he saw what I was doing he quickly smiled and went to me.

I finished my other shoe but before I could get up he bends down and put his hands on my waist and picked me up. I squealed at it a little but it soon turned into a giggle, I was a little embarrassed by my squeal but he just laughed. “You are just to cute.” He told me, and with that I knew that he liked my squeal. I looked at him, he was also wearing normal jeans but with a black T-shirt and black socks. “Come on, lets head downstairs so we can feed those two little monsters.” This made me laugh, he grabbed my hand and started to walk out of the closet.

Before he could get out of the room I stopped him. He turned around and looked at me “Why are you stopping? Is there something wrong? Do you not want to go downstairs? He bombed me with questions but I just nodded no. “You are not wearing any shoes” I told him, he always wants me to wear shoes, but now he is not wearing them, this confused me a little, and looking at his face it also confused him. But then I saw he understood and he smiled. He let go of my hand and walked back into the closet and he came back a few minutes later wearing black and white shoes. I just smiled at him happily and I walked towards him and grabbed his hand to go downstairs.

I could tell I surprised him by grabbing his hand, I also surprised myself with that but I just wanted to go downstairs to do something I really like, cooking. When we were by the stairs he forced me to slow down, he always did it when we were walking downstairs.

Flashback

I was really happy that Marcus and I were going to have a walk around the garden. I really like being outside. And with Marcus it was even better because he would take me to places I had not been yet and show me everything. I was so happy that I was not looking were I was going and if it were not for Marcus I would have fallen down the stairs pretty hard.

“Are you alright? Let me see you. How are your stitches and bruises? Do you feel pain anywhere?” he was in total panic mode, I found it cute, but I decided to answer him either way. “I am fine, I do not think I ripped any of my stitches and my bruises are almost healed, you saw them yourself a couple hours ago. And no I do not feel any pain,” I told him. He was really happy with that and he gave me a bear hug. “From now on, we walk down the stairs slowly and when we are walking towards the stairs we walk slowly towards it” he told me, and since then, that is what we did. But when I was going down the stairs alone I did not go slow, I would go at a normal pace or even faster.

End of Flashback

We were downstairs and walking into the kitchen when the twins came running down the stairs and ran past us to get to the kitchen first. Why can they run down the stairs but I cannot I wondered. “Because they are young and do not care, and because Marcus cannot control them.” Hope told me. “Yeah, that makes sense, but it is still not fair.” I told her. “Maybe, but it shows that he really cares about us and that he does not want us to get hurt.” She told me and I had to accept that she was right, again. “Why are you always right?” I asked her. “Because I am your wolf, and I am just thinking in another way than you.”

I noticed that we were in the kitchen and that the twins were siting at the kitchen bar, but I also noticed we were the only one’s downstairs. I looked at Marcus questioning and he just smiled at me. “I made sure that we were the only ones in the kitchen downstairs so we can take some food and bring it upstairs so we can make dinner and eat it upstairs in my private quarters” he told me. I just nodded at him and I quickly thought about what I have upstairs and I came to realise that it was not much, after al the cooking baking I had done. So I took everything I needed to make pancakes eggs and bacon. I had the leftover muffins from yesterday which I could place on the table.

When I had everything placed on the table in front of me I was wondering how I could bring everything upstairs. But my answer was quickly given, because Marcus and the twins took al of it and started to go back upstairs to the private kitchen. I was shocked, they are not letting me carry anything. But I was soon pulled out of my thoughts when Marcus called for me and I heard doors open witch told me that the rest of the pack was waking up and coming downstairs or coming to the packhouse to make breakfast or eat it. So I quickly went upstairs following Marcus and the twins. When I reached the stairs I saw Marcus standing upstairs looking at me with a hint of a warning to not run up the stairs. I slowed down and got up the stairs as fast as I could without going to fast.

When I was upstairs I smiled at Marcus and I quickly went to the kitchen to get started. The twins were already sitting waiting for there breakfast. So I gave them each a muffin I decided that the ones with oatmeal and fruit where the beat for breakfast so I got those out of the pantry and placed them on platers on the table, but I gave the twins and Marcus the triple chocolate ones. I did not have many of them left because they were there father’s favourite. When that was done I went back to my breakfast. I made the pancake batter first and when that was done I heated the pan and made the pancakes, while they were baking I went on to the eggs. When I was scrambling the eggs I felt some big strong arms around my waist, I knew it was Marcus because I felt these tingles that I still do not fully understand. “Is there something I can do to help you with this breakfast?” Marcus asked me.

I just looked at him and thought about it. “You can look after the pancakes and flip them when they are done.” I told him. “I can do that. Just tell me if there is something else I can do.” He told me. He let go of me so I could go back to my eggs. When they were done I heated another pan and made my scrambled eggs. I looked at Marcus and he looked really concentrated with what I was doing. He was putting batter into the pan for new pancakes, I saw that he already had a could stack. My eggs where done so I moved on to the bacon and bread. I just the bread I took from downstairs and I roasted them in the oven, because that was faster than a toaster.

When everything was done and on the table I looked at Marcus he was looking at his pancakes with proud. When he turned around to put them on the table his jaw drop. This made me and the twins laugh. “How can you have made a whole breakfast table when I have just finished a couple of pancakes?” he asked me, and I looked at him confused. “W-w-what do you mean? We made this together.” I told him, but he shook his head no. “No, you made everything, I just watched the pancakes.” Marcus said. “Yes, but the pancakes are the hardest thing to make, and they take a lot of time because you need to watch and flip them.” I told him. I could see that he was still a little shocked by how fast you can make breakfast.

But he did not have a lot of time because his family just walked into the dinning room and found a fully decked table with a shocked Marcus who’s mouth was still a little open. I just giggled at him and walked towards him and took the pancakes out of his hand before he dropped them, I placed them on the table and walked back to Marcus. I looked at him and he just kept looking at the table with his hands in front of him like he was still holding the pancakes. I grabbed his attention by pulling at his T-shirt.

He looked at me and then up again seeing his family looking at him weirdly he just smiled at them and we walked towards the two empty chairs that were next to each other at the head of the table, I still find it weird sitting there. But as soon as we sat down everybody started eating. I was not really hungry, so I just took some eggs and some toast and ate it when I was halfway done I felt someone staring at me so I looked up and is saw everybody staring at me. I wondered what I did, was there something on my face, maybe I took to much food, even though there was enough on the table I was used to worse so I put down my cutlery and food and stared down at my hands.

I heard a low growl coming from Marcus which made me look up. I looked at him but he was looking at his family. “WHY ARE YOU ALL STARING AT MY MATE?” his voice boomed through the room, this scared me a little. He got angry at his family because of me, now I started to feel bad, I just wanted to get out of there but I was afraid that would make things worse. “We were just wondering how she could survive on so little food son. I noticed she did not eat much yesterday and that the both of you skipped dinner. I can also see that you are catching up and it, but your mate is barley eating anything. I was just wondering if she needed more food, and why she did not take more of it, I think we al were wondering. That is al son.” His dad awnserd him.

It seemed to calm him down a little, but I was still a little shaken because of it. Marcus took a deep breath and started to talk “She can eat what ever she wants and how many she wants. What she is eating now is more then she ate when she first got here and I am really happy that she is eating more everyday. And the reason that she eats so little is because of her old pack, she is not used to it. I am not forcing her to eat, as long as she eats at least three times a day. And I do not care how many she eats.” He told his family. And after that he looked at me and just staired at me until I got what he wanted me to do. So I picked up my food again and I started to finish my plate. And after a couple bites everyone started to eat again, and after a couple minutes everyone also started to talk about what they could do today.

When I was finished I picked up my orange juice and sipped it. Everyone was still eating but I could not eat more I was full. It took another ten minutes before everyone was done eating and everything was gone, even the muffins from yesterday! I was wondering if everyone had enough, but then everybody stood up and left the table with there plates and everything else they could carry and placed them in the dishwasher. This was something I am still not used to, someone else that is cleaning after me, I mean I had already cleaned the kitchen spotless before we ate, but still, they are cleaning the table. They are THE alpha family and there still cleaning the table. When everything was done his sister went back to her room to get showered and dressed, his mom and dad were already done and so were the twins.

“So son, what did you want to do today?” his father asked Marcus. He looked at his dad and awnserd him “I need to finish my last paperwork that I could not finish yesterday before you came. Then I am free to do everything I want for the next week until you go back home unless an emergency shows up.” He told them. So that is why he was doing when he was locked up in his office the last two weeks I thought. “Alright, how long do you think that will take? His mother asked him. “A few hours, why do you ask?” he asked her, he looked questioning at his parents, not knowing what they wanted. “Well, then we can get to know your mate better. And tell her a lot of fun stories about you from when you where younger.” His mother told him.

This made him grown and he just sighed. “Alright, just do not go to… how do I say this… to hard on her with the questions, please. And keep the pictures I know you brought with you to a minimum please.” He told them. “I cannot make any promises regarding the pictures son.” His mother told him. This made me giggle, I really wanted to see those pictures now. Everyone looked at me because I giggled about them, it made me as red as a tomato. “Alright that is settled then, you go and do your paperwork while your dad, sister, the twins and I get to know your beautiful little mate.” His mother told him. He let out a low growl and then sighed. He stood up gave me a kiss on my nose and told me he would be back before lunch to safe me from his parents.

When he left his mother looked at me and started to talk to me. “So, now he is gone, lets het this started. How about we move to the living room of this floor so we can get to know each other.” She told me and I suddenly felt shy and vulnerable without Marcus so I just nodded my head. We moved to the living room, and just when we sat down Emma walked in. she sat with us and they stared at me, even the twins, like I was supposed to do or say something. I had the feeling that this was going to take a while.
