Morpheus POV
I'm getting too attached to her and I didn’t know if that was a good or bad thing? Just not having her with me makes my chest burn and it feels like I can't breathe. We decided that she would sleep at my house last night. After we left the pool, we went to McDonald's where I learned she likes to dip her fries in her milkshake. I think is disgusting, but apparently it's the perfect mix of sweet and salty.
We slept in my room at the pack house. She actually let me sleep in the bed with her, she claimed that it was only because she's afraid of the dark, but she was practically attached to my side all night. Her head was laid on my chest and her leg was thrown over my waist, it was the best sleep that I’d gotten in a while.
Right now I'm cooking for her.
I had woken up to her playing with my hair while humming and a huge smile had appeared on my face. I could get accustom to waking up to her face every morning. Her hair in a messy bun that was flopped to the side, her perfect natural pink lips that I couldn’t help but peck, her grey eyes that had a silvery twinkle and the simple words good morning that made me melt almost.
"So Mr Popular can cook? What other hidden talents do you have?" her voice rang through the kitchen and I chuckled.
"Well I can cook and I know every word to I'm Sexy and I Know It by heart" she shook her head, laughing, throwing her head back making her fall off the stool she was sitting on. She clutched her stomach, laughing even harder, making me laugh to. I snickered going over to that side of the counter seeing she was just laid there with tears streaming down her face.
"You’re laughing at me" she whined, shooting me a look and before I knew it she yanked my ankle, throwing me off balance making me land right on my ass. I winced but the pain didn’t even fully register before we started cackling again.
"Draw" Amethyst got up, dusting herself off and helping me to my feet.
Did I mention that she's wearing my shirt and boxers? Even though the shirt reaches just above her knees like a dress she insisted she needed something to put under it, so I gave a pair of my brand new Sesame Street boxers.
I wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her flush against me and she gasped. Her warm palms pressed against my chest as she looked up at me with those twinkling eyes, biting her lip bottom lip just like I was biting mine.
"So are you going to kiss me? Or are you going to stare at me until I do?" Her voice was laced with cockiness but I always like a challenge.
We stared at each other for what felt like hours, barely moving until I gave in crashing my lips to hers. She laughed against them, kissing me back, her hands moved up from my chest to my shoulders leaving a trial of tingles before she wrapped her hands around my neck pulling me closer and ran her fingers through my hair.
"Oh no my beautiful virgin eyes!" I heard Michael exclaimed, followed by three gagging sounds and Amethyst pulled away from me making me groan.
"Good Morning" Jewel squeaked out, retaking her seat on the stool and curling into herself.
"Morning' " Michael and Killian said in unison to Amethyst and she just nodded continuing to sketch.
Michael was my beta while Killian was my top warrior. They were all my best friend though and we all grew up together. They were all like my brothers just like I’ve come to love Jesse as a sister.
I turned off the stove, taking the muffins out of the oven. I took one out of the pan, placing it on a plate before handing it to Jewel who sent me a small smile.
“So we don’t get any muffins?” Michael pouted, reaching for a muffin and I swatted his hand away.
“No you do not” Just then Jesse walked into the kitchen and the air immediately became tense. She gave Amethyst a disgusted look and Theseus snarled in my head. He’d never liked Jessica, he swore that he always got a bad vibe from her and never trusted her even when we were dating. He was about three seconds away from taking control and ripping Jesse’s throat out, but I suppressed him as best I could.
'Morpheus we need to talk there's a big problem' Killian’s voice sounded through our mind link and I nodded, motioning towards the hallway.
“Jewel I'll be right back" she didn't answer, only glanced at me before continuing to pick at her muffin and twiddle with the pencil between her fingers.
I sighed but following the guys out into the hallway.
"Talk" I folded my arms across my chest using my alpha tone. Neither I nor Theseus was very happy that they were distracting us from our mate.
"Alpha word has gotten out that you've found your mate. There's already talk about rogues and those blood suckers planning an attack on the pack while you’re in transition and even if it’s talk we can’t risk our pack members" Michael informed me and I growled. One thing I hated more than rouges were vampires and those two things combined attempting or even thinking about or having the audacity to attack my pack made my blood boil.
"Anyone or anything crosses the borders you capture them and inform me. Try to double training on weekends and weekdays. We have to protect the pack and its Luna at all cost"
"Yes Alpha" Killian, Aiden and Michael dispersed and I stepped back into the kitchen, to see Amethyst crying, silently tears streaming down her face. Jesse was nowhere to be seen.
"Jewel what's wrong? Why are you crying" I tried to hold her hand but she pulled her hands away, tucking them under her arms.
"I want to go home Morpheus” her voice was soft but curt and I tried to get closer to her but she hopped off the stool backing away from me.
"Amethyst what's wro-" she cut me off.
"Just take me home Morpheus" she pushed past me running out of the room and up the stairs.
Amethyst POV
I closed the car door, muttering a quick bye to Morpheus who hadn't spoken to me the entire ride. His shoulders were tense and he kept his eyes forward the entire time, only glancing at me a few times. He’d tried to ask me what was wrong a few more times to but I ignored him, fiddling with my fingers.
Opening the front door, I slammed it behind me alerting my mom.
"Who gave you permission to be slamming doors up in here?" she shouted from the couch and I cracked a smile but it quickly faded.
"Come here baby. What's wrong?" she motioned me over and I ran to her, burying my head in her shoulder and letting the tears fall.
"It's alright baby just let it out" she cooed stroking my head as I continued crying.
Her voice echoed in my head.
“Now listen here you little b***h! Morpheus is mine and mine only. I don't give a flying rat’s ass if Morpheus loves you or if he only wants you for the s*x. I will have him and if I have to put you six f*****g feet under I will. I will ruin your high school career! I will make sure you're never happy! Do you hear me Jewel?!”
Her voice was cold as ice cold and threatening as she whispered menacingly into my ear. Her nails dug into my shoulder and I winced, staring into her eyes as they slowly turned and inky black causing my heart to drop. It felt like she was staring into my soul and she sent me a sadistic smile as well. Her canine teeth were longer, they looked sharper than they were supposed to be and I whimpered as a low growl came from her throat.
“Watch your back, buttercup”
