Forever More

Chapter 12

I don't find Zander in bed so I get up and knock on the door that connects our rooms and wait for him. "Come in, little one. You don't have to knock just come in." "I didn't know if you were decent or not, I tell him." "Well even if I wasn't I wouldn't say you couldn't come in he laughs." I can feel myself blush. If you all must know I am a virgin. Maybe I should tell Zander this so he doesn't push for the mating rituals to be done. I don't mind wearing his mark but the rest I know that I am not ready for that. I need to tell him about meeting the Moon Goddess. "Zander, I need to tell you something that happened to me while I slept." "What is it little one, he asks?" "I met the Moon Goddess Selene." He drops his pen on the stack of papers he was working on and turned to me. "What do you mean you met Selene? You didn't leave the bedroom." "I met her in my dream but it wasn't a dream she said. She informed me that I have another power but some will seek to use them for their own gain." What powers besides the clothing and fire, he asks me?" "Well I have the ability to heal people but it will take energy from me the bigger the wound, I tell him. Along with masking my scent. But there is something else. Selene told me that there will be a war to use my powers for personal gain". This caught his attention even though I whispered it. "You mean to tell me the Moon Goddess warned you of a war that is coming and that someone will try to take you from me, he says." There is a fierce fire in his eyes as they turn to black. I know Ben is trying to take control of this. I slowly walk to him and sit on his lap. I caught him off guard by doing this. He buries his head in the crook of my neck and inhales deeply. "No need to worry my Alpha, nothing is going to happen to me. We can conquer all that comes our way. Us standing side by side fighting for our family. This pack is now my family. I will do anything I need to protect them. Now that you are calm I am going to shower and get ready to meet your parents. What should I wear, I ask him?" "Anything is fine little one, he says." As I go to stand he holds me a little longer. "I just needed to hold you, he says." "It's okay I'm happy to help in any way I can, I say." I stand and he slowly released me. I can feel how it makes him feel to leave me. He's worried. What can I do to help ease his fears? "Zander, give me fifteen minutes and then you can work on some of your paperwork and sit in my room just in case I need you. That's if you want to, I question?" "Oh well yeah that makes sense just in case you need me." We both know why I'm doing this and it's not in case I need him. It's so he's not so scared of leaving me alone. I head for the door to find something suitable for me to meet his parents in. I rush to my closet looking for a nice simple fall outfit to wear. I find a red long-sleeved cute top and a black skirt, I wonder if they got me some tights. Sure enough, they did. I grab a black pair of red socks to go with my black boots. I race into the bathroom and hop in the shower. I was in the middle of washing my hair when Zander walked in. I was a little nervous but it went away when I hear him chuckle. "What's so funny out there, I ask?" "Well, Ben kept on about me wearing red and black..." "Wait what?" I say peeking my head out of the shower to look. Now when I tell you I couldn't help but stare is an understatement. There he was with his red button-up long sleeve shirt only three buttons weren't done. He wore black slacks and black boots. He lifts a pant leg and he's wearing red socks. "So I see Willow and Ben have been talking I giggle." I pop back in and finish my shower, Zander handed me my towel and left right after. I dry off and quickly get dressed. I apply just a small amount of makeup and then get to work on my hair. It will take forever to blow dry it all the way so I just do two french braids down my back to my waist. Yes, my hair is long but I love it. "Little one are you okay in there, my mate asks?" I open the door and finish my braid. I look up only to see lust cloud his beautiful blue eyes. "Is this okay to wear to meet your parents?" It takes a minute to register what I said and he shakes his head and blushes. "Why Alpha did I make you blush?" This earns me a smile and a soft chuckle. "Forgive me little mate but I am a man and you are a beautiful goddess, he tells me." Then it was my turn to blush. I have no idea where this courage came from but I step forward and place my hand on his arm and start to circle him. I slide my hand over his back feeling the way he tenses and then relaxes. His muscles tightened. I circle his other arm up to his chest until I'm standing in front of him. I place two fingers under his chin to pull him down a little because he is taller than me. I get to my tippy toes and whisper "you're not the only one my dear Alpha." I turn and walk away.
