My Female Alpha

Chapter 10- Sparks

(Quinton's POV)

It was absolutely insane how happy it made me when she said yes and before she could change her mind, I rushed her to my jeep. I had charmed the cafeteria ladies into making me a little picnic and drove out to a lake that was on our property. 

She wasn't like other girls that I knew that chattered non-stop and I took in the comfortable silence, being around her just felt good. My wolf felt at peace and being around her just felt right, my soul was at ease. 

She looked over at me through her long lashes and said "where are we going?" I wasn't sure exactly how to tell her we were mates but knew that at some point, I needed to share it with her. "I wanted to show you my favourite place to go." 

As I drove we talked a little bit about the town and as we got onto the Silver Lightning property I pointed out landmarks and things of interest. We had a giant vegetable patch and sun house that we used to keep us in fresh food all year round and she remarked that she had put one in a year ago for her pack.

 It always surprised me that she was now in charge of everything because I had the luxury of not taking responsibility for everything yet. 

It made me appreciate what I had and the fact that my dad had been so adamant that I experience my last year of high school before needing to take over.  

I said something of the sort and she thought for a moment and quietly said "I don't really know it any other way, I don't really feel like I'm missing out or that it's hard because it is what it is. They are my people and I want to do what's best for them." I knew exactly what she was talking about, an Alphas sense of responsibility for their pack is all encompassing.  

I reached over and took her hand as I was driving and those sparks shot up my arm again. Her eyes widened, making me wonder if she felt the sparks too and was starting to put it together. 

All I knew was this heavy connection between us was the most intense thing I had ever experienced.  "From what I saw last night you're doing a great job." I pulled up onto the lake front and told her to wait there for a second. I went around to her side, opened the door and lifted her out, setting her down on the ground and before she could say anything, went around back and grabbed a blanket and the basket of food. I spread it out and told her to sit.

I wasn't exactly sure what was happening but I couldn't bring myself to question it. It just felt right being with him and I didn't have the willpower to battle myself today. 

From the moment that we got into his jeep, my body felt more at peace then it ever had and all I knew was I wanted this feeling more. 

As he lifted me out of the jeep, I opened my mouth to turn him away, I could do it myself but the sparks that I felt any time he touched me shocked me silent, although I knew he wasn't an option for me, our chemistry was 'off the charts'. 

He set me down and moved away and I immediately missed his warmth. He laid out the blanket and gestured for me to sit down.

 This spot really was beautiful and I sat down thinking about how many other girls he had brought here before. He put down a basket full of food and seemed to read my mind. "Its my peaceful place, I've never actually brought anyone here before, but thought after last night, maybe you'd want a quiet space to just chill. We were going to be paired up in Warrior Training today too and I didn't want to have an advantage the first time that we train together." 

I sat there stunned, that he had gone to so much trouble out of consideration for me was surprising and made my stomach flutter to think about. I also figured that he had chosen our location wisely. When we're hurt, werewolves try to immerse themselves in nature more because along with rest it helps us heal faster.

 I looked over and said "thank you, actually I've been wanting to ask, how did you know that we were under attack last night?" I looked over and was surprised when I saw that he was blushing. "I think after yesterday, I was able to feel your pain. I knew you were hurt." 

I stared at him, not really shocked. It made sense, why I reacted to his touch and smell and just the comfort and natural peace I felt when I was with him. I breathed in deep and said "We're mates?"

(Quinton's POV)

I wasn't sure how much time to give her to process it or how to respond. I wasn't used to feeling vulnerable and the idea that she didn't feel it as strongly as I did or the fact that she might not want me rang in my ears. I was quickly coming to the conclusion that I wasn't a fan of feeling vulnerable. 

However, I also figured if I was going to do this, I was at least going to put it all on the table. "Yah I knew as soon as you walked in the building yesterday.  I was in the act of pushing her away to try to find you when the whole Ashley situation went down. I'm sorry because you can't sense it like I can yet. I wasn't sure how or when to say something but yesterday when you told me you didn't want to become 'one of my play things', I need to be clear about the fact that I want you to be my only play thing.”

She sat silent, gaping at me, which allowed me to keep going, “yesterday, any time a girl even touched me, I cringed. My wolf has recognized you and both he and I want no one else." 

The fact that I had known her a day wasn't lost on me but I trusted in the moon goddess completely. I had been raised to trust in the mate process and everything I had learned about her so far, cemented my trust. I didn't want her to have any misunderstandings about how I felt. For me, this felt right! 

I took a deep breath, somehow in my confession I had intertwined our fingers and I sat there playing with them and waiting for her response. I felt that she had to make the choice and decide what to do because I had been clear that she was exactly what I wanted and the rest, it was all on her.
