The Alphas Little Dancer

Chapter Five- Fixing My Mistake

Jaxsons POV 

     I swipe my hands down my face for what feels like the hundredth time. Why now?! I’ve been stressed to the max with the overflow of rouges entering our territory and Alpha carter who should be assisting in this isn’t answering my calls, dad wants me to make an alliance with the coven of vamps that have been peacefully residing a couple miles away from our territory and all while I’ve finally found my mate after years of searching and somehow I managed to make her hate me. How did I already f**k it up?! 

    Avery my wolf grunts from the back of my head. We were both in protective mode and everyone was looking at what is mine. She doesn’t understand how sexy and beautiful she is, it’s frustrating. I just want to protect her and keep her from being treated like she was before but I guess Avery got carried away. 

     “This time it was our pack seeing her like that and she deserves respect as their Luna!” He argues again. 

     “I get it but that was the completely wrong way to do it! What if she doesn’t want to be with us anymore? We can’t loose her!” I snap back causing him to growl at the thought of loosing our precious mate. “We f****d this up and now we are going to fix it.” I am determined to gain her trust back and I will do anything. 

     I’m distracted from my thoughts when Keith and Clay walk through my office door, not even bothering to stop and knock. “Hey assholes, could you at least knock first?” I snap still irritated from my fight with Avery.

     “Who the hell are you calling assholes? The whole pack saw what you did to Amelia at training and she won’t even talk to you now.”  Clay snaps back in defense. Keith and Clay being twins makes it hard to deal with them. They are always together but they are complete opposites so it can get a little frustrating. Plus they love to pester their favorite big brother. *insert eye roll*

     “Yeah what the hell was that all about?” Keith added. Both of them stride over to the chairs directly in front of my desk and sit down lazily “oh and i met her earlier this morning and I recognized her from somewhere. Isn’t she Alpha Carters stripper?” 

     I can feel the anger now rolling off of me in waves “SHE IS NOT A f*****g STRIPPER! She is your Luna and you will treat her as such!” My temper has flown out the window now and I’m grinding my teeth to keep from punching these two smug faced assholes.

     Immediately in defense they both raise their hands up in the air in surrender but they still have mischievous smiles spread across their faces. “Whoa bro, chill, it was just a question.”  Clay laughs at me. 

     “Ugh” I grunt as I slam my face in my hands again. Just when I was about to send the boys packing because I was sick of being harped, Delilah decided to walk through the door. f*****g great. 

     “Was there a family gathering that I wasn’t invited for?” She’s asks, as she places her hands on her hips with attitude.

     “No! Dumb and dumber won’t leave me alone.” I say in frustration while leaning back in my chair glaring at them. “Ehhmmm credit card?” I look at her with my hand out.

     “Hey, We just came to talk to the alpha of idiots.” Keith said while laughing and high-fiving Clay. 

     “You could have at least invited me jerks.” Sighing as Delilah strides over gives my credit card a kiss and places it in my hand then walks over to another chair by the boys. “So what are you going to do Jaxson? Amelia is really hurt.” She says with a little disappointment in her voice. 

     “Did you talk to her? Did she say anything about me? Does she hate me?” Hearing that Delilah talked to Amelia made me lose all sense of control. I need to know she’s ok... but instead of replying they all started laughing, IN MY FACE! “What?!?”

     “Bro you are so whipped!” Keith laughed at me but I don’t reply I need to know about Amelia, so I just turn my attention back to Delilah who is attempting to calm down her laughing.

     “We didn’t talk about what happened. I just talked to her about our family, life and the pack. She told me about hers but any time I mentioned you, I could see the hurt in her eyes. It’s like she’s scared of something.” My heart constricted making it hard to breath. I can’t have Amelia scared of me. I barley know her and I love her so much. Knowing she’s hurt kills me and I need to do something to change all of that.

     “You guys have to help me,” I beg “what should I do? Something romantic and sweet...” if I’m going to get through to Amelia I’m gonna need some help.

     Delilah looks at me with an excited smile and then at the boys. “I got just the thing but you can’t f**k it up.” She points at me. I nod in understanding. “Hand me back your credit card!” She chirps and I oblige quickly.

I’m gonna get my girl back.

.....

     When all of the plans are in place we all decide it’s about time to head down to the kitchen for dinner. I’m nervous and excited to see Amelia. It’s only been an hour and a half but I already miss her even if she didn’t miss me. 

      The fact that I hurt her still makes my stomach churn but I know that this plan might help and I have high hopes.

      “I’ll be on my best behavior from now on.” Avery states, I can feel that he still feels guilty for making out mate hate us but he’s starting to understand that we need to treat her right because she is so important to both of us. 

     We all  head to my room looking for Amelia. Clay wanted to meet her and the others just wanted to see her but she wasn’t there. So instead we all walked down stairs to the kitchen. The best smell I’ve ever smelt before is floating through the air making my mouth water and stomach growl. 

      Following the scent I walk behind the others but when I make it to the door way I stop in surprise. There she is standing in the middle of the kitchen helping the omegas cook and put food together. She’s dancing and laughing around trying to put the final touches on our Mexican dinner. 

     Before I realize it I’ve caught her attention from all of my staring and notice that the family is staring too. She looks a little shocked at our expressions but smiles kindly at all of us. 

    “Hey guys, go take a seat in the dinning room and we’ll get this all served out to you.” She smiles sweetly making me fall even deeper in love with her. I can’t stop admiring her soft voice, the way her hair falls out of its ponytail framing her face or the way that apron hugs her curves perfectly. 

      Keith and Clay start to head towards the dinning room when Delilah went over and grabbed Amelia's hand. “Come join us!” Without waiting for her reply she takes off Amelias apron for her and pulls her to the dinning room. I follow behind still a little dumbstruck by the fact that she was helping the omegas, she is such a natural Luna. 

     My heart speeds up when she turns around to smile at me with her piercing blue eyes. I can’t help the big goofy smile that plasters my face. She giggles a little and turns back towards Delilah who’s blabbering away.

     When we get into the dinning hall everyone is already sitting down waiting and excited. I walk to my regular seat at the head of the table when I notice that Amelia is seated to my left, where the Luna is suppose to sit. I smile with pride and see Delilah, Clay, and Keith seated down the table. My beta and gamma are to my right with some other pack members mixed in the middle. Mom and dad are seated at the other end in a conversation with different members. I stand at my seat and raise my glass of wine to the table gaining everyone’s attention. 

     “I would like to make a quick toast for our lovely dinner and to the amazing company! With another welcome to our newest guest Amelia,” I turn to look her in the eyes now “you already fit in so well and I know we are all happy to have you here.” By the look in her eyes her nerves calm quickly and it’s masked by a tender and sweet smile. “Now lets eat!” I raise my glass as the final gesture and everyone follows by taking a sip as they all fall into easy conversations. 

     Food is being served in front of us as I look next to me at Amelia laughing with my sister about something. Her laugh being the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard, besides from her singing. 

     Mason grabs my attention when I see him catching me staring at Amelia. He has his eyebrows raised in question and a mischievous smile spread across his lips. “What?” I ask frustrated.

     “Aren’t you going to introduce everyone?” He asks knowing well gthat he was pushing by buttons on purpose. Mason has always been my best friend growing up so it came naturally when he became my beta. When I took the alpha position, he also took the beta position from his father making him my right hand man. 

    “She’s already met everyone?” I question

     “Nope, not Nolan.” He glances over now at my gamma who was flirting with another pack member at the time. “He was on guard for the bonfire” I nod my head.

     Nolan was always our third best friend. In school we all traveled together and kept a tight group. When we were baby’s our parents would always make fun of us because apparently we were inseparable. Nolan was always the playboy of the group. He’s a very attractive man who could get any women he wanted while Mason was picky about the company he picked and I wanted to wait for my mate. I turn to Nolan and grab his attention.

     “Hey Nolan,” I slightly yell above the loud talk consuming the table. He turns towards me with a smile on his face. I swear this guy never gets mad. I lean over to Amelia who is still sitting close to me and reach under the table to grab her knee sending sparks up my arm. I squeeze lightly to get her attention and her beautiful blue eyes catch mine in a very intense stare. “Amelia this is Nolan, he is my third in command.” I say sweetly trying to pull my attention away from her mesmerizing eyes. I point to Nolan to help. 

     As if on cue Nolan gets up and walks around us to shake her hand. “It is so amazing to meet you Amelia, I’ve heard such wonderful things about you!” He says in his usual flirty tone which is a little too much for my comfort. Amelia blushes and I pull the back of Nolan’s t-shirt making him take a step back.

     “That’s enough lover boy.” I growl at him. 

     He laughs at me and raises his hands in surrender as he walks back over to his seat. We all fall into easy conversation until we are done eating. Through the whole dinner I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of her and each passing minute made me more nervous. It’s time to shoot my shot.

     “Amelia...” I start to say but I’m cut off by her picking up her plate and mine to walk them back to the kitchen. I look dumbfounded as she keeps doing that with a majority of the table helping the omegas. She laughs and converses with everyone asking if they are finished before taking their plates.

     “Amelia.” Louder this time trying to get her attention again and this time succeeding. “Would you join me for a walk?” Her eyes shoot up to me and then look around the table at everyone staring. Then she glancing at Delilah who nods at her with a smile.

      “Why does she need her permission?” Avery wonders and I scowl slightly before putting my sweetest smile on again. 

     “Of course alpha.” She says in a surprisingly confident voice. Her confidence is so sexy in that moment I almost lost my train of thought thinking about her calling me alpha in between our sheets.  Holy f**k Jaxson get your s**t together! 

     I stand and walk as she follows behind me. Walking until I reach the back door and down to the large flower garden on the west side of the property. I hope she likes flowers.... I grab her hand leading her to the walking path through all of the flowers. 

     She’s been silent this whole time but her eyes light up when she sees the never ending maze of flowers that have grown around us. “These are gorgeous...” she whispers softly, still in awe. I let out the breath I was holding waiting for her response. 

     “Good job alpha.” As Avery shoots me a wink.

     “Do you like it?” I ask while I can’t stop staring at her beautiful features and smiling.

     “Are you kidding me? I love it!” She giggles at me making my heart pound even harder. I stop us in the middle of the white rose bushes. It was time and I can’t turn back now. She stops suddenly almost bumping into me due to her distracted stare at the beautiful plants.

     I let go of her hands as she lets them fall and place both of my hands in my packets nervously, “Amelia,” I start but I can’t get it out. She raises an eyebrow at me smiling at my nervousness. “I’m sorry for what happened the other day...” I start but her face falls from a smile to a frown and drops her eyes to her feet. “ I promise it won’t happen again but I want to make it up to you.”  Grabbing her hands in mine and staring down at her willing her to look back at me. “Will you let me take you on a date tomorrow night?” I ask quickly trying to force the words out of my mouth. What if she says no?! I couldn’t handle it. 

     Her face shoots up again and her eyes burn into mine causing a fire to shoot through me like no other. I need her closer, my hole body stands at attention waiting for her answer. 

     “Yes” she breathed like she could feel the fire too and I couldn’t help myself. Grabbing her face in between my hands and I passionately press my lips to hers. Fireworks spark in my eyes as our lips touch. The fire growing bigger in my body. My fingers tangle themselves into her golden locks. 

     Her answer back was just as feverish when her hands spread across my chest feeling every muscle through my shirt. I can’t help how excited I am and how much I need her right now. Only her touch driving me into insanity. I run my tongue against her bottom lip asking for permission but she denied immediately breaking away to step back. Our breathing is rough and heavy. I start to feel anxiety though because she made us stop. I look up but the smile on her face calms me down immediately. 

     “It’s a date.” She giggles at me while she pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear nervously. 

     I couldn’t hide the s**t eating grin the spread across my face. Relief washed over me before a new wave of nervousness came. This will be perfect.
