The Beta's Daughter

Chapter 3

Siena Pov

I quickly jumped out of Zalman's hold and quickly ran up to my dad.

" Dad it's not what you think. Nothing was happening! I swear." I hurriedly said. I didnt want my dad to think I was traitor.

" It's okay honey. I give you permission to stay with your mate. But he has to give us the peace treaty." My dad said looking over at Zalman.

" What ever I don't care. I just want my mate." Zalman responded while wrapping his arms around my waist. I moved his hands and went closer to my dad.

"Are you sure? What about him sending the rogues." I whispered the last part.

"How many times do I have to tell you I didnt do it!" Zalman growled. He grabbed my wrist and pressed me against his chest with his chin resting on my head. " I swear I didnt do it. Look just go upstairs to your room and we'll talk about this when I go up there. I'm going to sign the peace treaty. Okay?"

"Fine whatever."

*20 Minutes Later*

Is he really telling the truth?

Can I trust him?

Can I love him?

That was all I was thinking about ,While I was laying on my bed just staring at the ceiling. Maybe I can trust him. I feel so safe in his big arms. Maybe I can give him a chance. If it doesnt work out I can just leave. That thought made my heart clench and my wolf whimper. I sighed. I'm already attached to him and I only just met him not even half an hour ago. But in my defense he's just so damn sexy. Red kissable lips, midnight black hair, green eyes. You could tell he had just enough muscle the way his shirts clung to his skin. okay stop Sena your getting too excited.

Just then a whiff of an intoxicating scent of cinnamon and chocolate trailed up my nose. It was so damn mouth watering. Not a second later the door opened and revealed Zalman.

"Ummmm........ Hi." Zalman said while rubbing the back of his neck. He stalked towards my bed and pointed towards an empty spot on the bed clearly asking if he can sit down which i nodded in confirmation. " Look. I really didnt send those rogues after your pack. Please believe me. I dont want you to think I'm some monster." He said pleadingly. I looked into his green orbs to find any hint of dishonesty. But there wasnt anything. He was telling the truth. This somehow made me happy.

"I believe you"

" I get if you don- wait you believe me?" He asked with disbelief.

" Yeah I believe you. For some reason I trust you Zalman."

" Then, can you give us a chance?" He said longily while grabbing my hand and rubbing circles on it with his thumb. I nodded my head and saw him smile. A real genuine smile. I like this side to Zalm. His possesive side is kind of hot too." You dont know how happy you made me. Wait! How stupid can I be? I forgot to ask you your name." I giggled at him being fustrated.

"It's Siena." I replied

" That's a beautiful name." He said huskily.

" T-Thanks." I stuttered. Why the hell did I have to stutter?

" Ummm........ Siena?" He said while rubbing the back of his neck. " Would you like to go out with me tomorrow?"

" I'll love that!" I exclaimed while jumping up and down earning a hearty laugh from my mate.

" Haha. Great!"

" Can I ask you something?'

"Anything Sena."

" How come you were all mean and scary in your office and now your sweet?" I asked tilting my head to the side.

"It's just that when you said you didnt want us to be together my wolf wanted to take control and it was hard to keep him in. I'll try to never act like that with you again I promise." He replied while standing up to give me a kiss on the forehead." It's getting kind of late. Get some rest." And with that he left.

*Later That Night*

I kept tossing and turning. I couldnt go to sleep not even for an hour. My wolf wanted to sleep next to her mate and in all honesty I did too. So I tiptoed out the door roaming the halls until I saw big wooden double doors. That must be his bedroom. I quietly turned the knob and crept in. I saw Zalm tossing and turning just how I was moments ago. I felt a smile crept onto my face at the thought we both couldnt go to sleep without each other.

" Ummmm...... Zalman." I quietly whispered. I saw him stop his movement and looked up at me. " Can I sleep with you tonight? I cant sleep."

" I cant either. And you dont need to ask this is your bed too." He replied while lifting the sheets up so I can get in. When I got in he pushed me onto his bare chest and began inhaling my scent. He gave me a kiss on the forehead.

I felt my face heat up at the way we were in the bed. I had on a tanktop and short shorts while he had nothing but his boxers on. Oh well. I snuggled closer to his chest and found myself slowly drifting off to sleep at the melody of his heart beating. I could get used to this.
