My Alphas Promise

Chapter Six: Visitors

Maddy's POV:

    The rest of the week went by in such a blur, I barely had time to relax and let everything sink in. Charlie and I had been so busy wrapped up in our Luna training and the politics of it all we barely had time to spend with our mates. 

    Jacob and Charlie had been spending every possible moment together whereas Elijah and I try but I have also been showing up for random shifts at the hospital. I'm trying to soak up as much as I can before leaving so I don't show up to my new pack looking like an i***t. 

    Elijah had been our pretend patient for a few of the exams but Dr. Andrews put a quick end to that once he saw how unfocused I was when Elijah was shirtless but who could really blame me, the man was perfectly chiseled and even had the female staff gawking so Sophie was our only option after that. She loved the attention and was very theatric in her role as a sick or injured wolf.

        "Hurry Maddy! I'm dyinggg!!! Ohhh the painn!!"

        "Sophie, I'm just feeling your stomach"

        "I could have internal bleeding though, better check my poop!"

        "Sophie!"

    We all tried to meet up for dinner when Elijah wasn't busy with meetings, Sophie loved telling him all about her performance of the day which usually left him in stitches. I really adored their relationship, you could just tell they loved each other and that they were obviously both very troublesome, his mother on the other hand was mortified of Sophie's behavior so she stopped attending the dinners which only made them laugh harder. Occasionally Jacob and Charlie would join us and they would all talk as if they had known each other for years. Charlie, after her and Elijah's first conversation, gave me the nod of approval. 

     I finally met their father and I could instantly tell where Elijah got his good looks from. Mr. Jared Driscoll had a salt n pepper beard but still a devilishly handsome smile. He told me all about Elijah's Alpha ceremony and how proud he was of the man his son had become. He had taken care of the pack and always took into account his inner circles opinion. 

    He looked sad though as he talked about all of his sons responsibility. I wondered why, he continued on and the way he talked about his son made me fall for Elijah even more. He had the respect of his father and of his pack. Even my father approved of our match, he said that Alpha Elijah had a good head on his shoulders and he couldn't of asked for a better man for his daughter, though he was sad my mate wasn't of our own pack so I could stay and be his little girl forever. My parents and I already had our tearful goodbye in private as not to cause a big scene as I was leaving. I'm really going to miss being in the same house as them.

    It was the night before my big move, I was sitting around my suitcase and a few boxes in my room just soaking up my last night as part of the Northern pack and as the Alphas daughter, soon to be a Luna of the Eastern pack. Still sounds crazy. I looked up to see Jacob standing in my doorway, little red faced like he had been crying.

        "Hey little sister, mind if I come in?"

        "Is everything okay?"

    He sat on the edge of my bed and looked at my suitcase.

        "Charlie reminded me tonight is your last night here and she started crying which in turn made me cry, we really don't know what we are going to do without you mads, you're her best friend and kind of mine too. I know Alpha Elijah is a good guy but just know if it doesn't work out you are always welcome back here."

    He was started to cry a little bit and was still staring at my suitcase when I stood up and pulled him into a huge hug.

        "You guys both know I'm only a phone call away, this isn't goodbye, besides, once you two have pups I'll be here all the time spoiling them with hugs and kisses. Now where is your girlfriend anyways? I should be giving both of you this speech"

        "She wanted to but she couldn't pull herself together, she said she will see you off tomorrow though, she has something for you I guess."

    I nodded and wondered what she could of possibly got me, we haven't had time to leave the grounds to do any kind of shopping. guess I'll have to wait and see.

    A knock at the door turned both our heads, Elijah was standing there looking at us both in a cautious manner. I immediately went goo goo eyes looking at him, he was already in his pjs which consisted of grey sweat pants and a plain white t shirt. It was Jacob who spoke first pulling me out of a dirty fantasy that I was having.

        "Hey Alpha Elijah"

        "Please just Elijah, umm is this a bad time?"

        "Not not at all, I was just heading off to bed but I wanted to say goodnight to mads here first, being her last night here and all"

        "Ah, yes. I understand. She will be in good hands back home Jacob, if that brings you any comfort at all." 

    Jacob just smiled before pulling me back into a hug and then booping my nose like a child before heading off to bed.

        "Give Charlie a kiss for me!" I yelled after him.

        "So how are you feeling about your big move love?" He seemed a little nervous asking, like I was going to change my mind and stay here. 

        "Well, I'm nervous but excited at the same time. I'm nervous that the pack won't like me and that I wont live up to my Luna duties but I'm excited to be with you and start this next chapter of my life" I said shyly, not meeting his gaze.

        "That's a relief because I'm more than excited to be with you as well" he said as he flashed that dimply smile at me again. He has to know what that does to me by now.

        "I was wondering if you wanted me to stay here and help pack or anything tonight? after all, tomorrow night we wont have separate rooms"

    I sat in thought for a minute. I'd love nothing else to have him in bed with me all night and be close to him, wake up and see him first thing in the morning but I also know what that would probably lead to and I don't know if I'm ready for that quite yet.

        "Some help would be nice and maybe we can talk about you staying tonight" I figured this was the best way to handle it. My mom always said communication was the best thing in any relationship and if you didn't have it or if you didn't feel comfortable communicating your feelings then something was wrong in that relationship.

        "Works for me, where should I start?"

        "All my clothes that are hanging up over there can be put in that blue bin, that's everything I'm bringing. everything else I'm leaving here for anyone who wants them"

        "Okay, seems easy enough. So I know we haven't talked much about past relationships, me personally I have never even kissed another girl let alone dated one so I was curious about where you stand on the matter. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to though."

        "You haven't dated? but you're so.. "

    He smirked at me as I looked him up and down "So what? so cute?" he made his most innocent face he could which made me laugh, "You know what you look like okay,  I just have a hard time believing no one wanted to date you"

        "Oh many girls tried but I wasn't interested, I was waiting for my mate" He winked at me. He again gave me a perfect answer. Jerk.

        "Well I guess I'm in the same boat. I never dated anyone nor did I encourage anyone's affections. I always kept to myself or I was working" It made me weirdly happy that we were both on the same level with relationships in a way. This is all new to both of us and we will be each others first everything. 

    After that we talked about Sophie and his parents who left ahead of us to make sure everything was ready for our arrival. He also explained how Tyler would be riding with us as a security measure along with others in their wolf forms outside the vehicle. I'll get to meet them all tomorrow before we leave.

     Once I was all packed up my room looked bare and unrecognizable. We both kind of stood there looking around, waiting for the other to bring up the elephant in the room that was sleeping arraignments.

        "Okay soooo, here's the deal. You can stay and sleep, but nothing else is happening, I just don't think we are there yet and also I don't want our first time being in my childhood bedroom. Deal?"

     I could tell I was blushing, I must sound ridiculous because he just chuckled and said "Deal, whatever you want love"

    He started walking towards the bed while I went into the bathroom to get changed. I picked out another flannel set of pjs which I kind of regretted now. I wanted something that showed a tad more skin, not something that looked like I was at a little kids slumber party. I looked around my piles of clothes in the bathroom that I was leaving and some an old plain light blue t shirt with darker blue pj shorts. That's better I thought as I got dressed. I brushed my teeth and attempted a brush on my hair before I finally walked out of the bathroom. He was in bed already laying down, I noticed his shirt was laying on the floor which made me pause ad catch my breath for a moment. He was facing away from me which was nice because I didn't need him to see me losing my s**t over his shirt on the floor. Get it together Maddy. I turned off the main light and my little moon night light lit up the room. I could only see the outline of him as I crawled into bed. I laid there for the longest time just staring t the ceiling before I finally had the nerve to roll over and face his body. He couldn't be sleeping already I thought. There's no way. I gently reached my hand out towards his shoulder, poking him twice. Nothing. Hmm, well I did say that I didn't want anything to happen but I was still disappointed he fell asleep so fast. I guess it's okay though, I rolled over and started thinking about everything that I needed to get done before leaving in the morning. Sigh, it's going to be a long day. 

    I woke up to an alarm that I didn't set, I started to open my eyes when I felt arms around my waist and felt breathing in the curve of my neck. Oh my god oh my god. Elijah was holding me. I didn't want to move, I couldn't move. His alarm kept ringing, how did he not hear it? This felt nice and warm. It felt right. I snuggled deeper into him, taking in his scent and the warmth of his body. Bodhi was in heaven. She was purring and almost scratching at my head. Suddenly Elijah woke up and was instantly straddling me. 

        "Mmm good morning my love" his eyes were pure black with lust.

        "Good morning" I said in barely a whisper, his face was nose to nose with mine, my heartbeat quickened

        "And how did you sleep?" he was now running his lips across my cheek and down my neck and his hand on my waist

        "Mmm, uh good" What am I doing? this feels amazing, it was taking everything in not grab him and taste his lips on mine.

        "Do you want to head down for breakfast?" he was still nuzzling into my neck and I felt my breath hitch as he brought his lips to almost a hover over mine

Well, s**t do I want to leave this and go down for breakfast? food didn't seem like a priority right now. All that mattered was his touch. I didn't want him to stop touching me and I wanted more.

Bodhi at this point was almost howling in need for his touch. She wanted her mate in every way, and I wasn't going to lie, I did too. All I did was shake my head no and instantly his lips smashed against mine.

Elijah's POV:

    I turned away from the bathroom hoping to make this transition easier for Maddy. Hopefully she wouldn't feel awkward climbing into bed if there were no eyes on her. She took a minute in the bathroom but when I heard the door open she paused at the door way before turning the light off which was weird. What was she waiting for? I stayed still as she climbed into bed. I made a deal that we would jus be sleeping. Novi wanted to reach over and grab her, never letting go. it was a fight for control with her so close. then I felt a small poke, and another on my shoulder. It made me smile but I had to stay strong. If I were to roll over I don't know if I could honor the deal that I had made to her. I wanted her in every sense of the word and it was getting harder and harder to restrain myself from giving in. 

    I waited a while until I was sure she was sleeping to relax and lay on my back, I looked over to see she had rolled over opposite of me. I couldn't sleep with her so close to me and not be touching her in some way. I moved closer so my face was nuzzled in her hair, she smelled so delicious. I almost immediately relaxed with just her scent, this is something I could handle.

     I soon woke up to Maddy pushing up against me, I then noticed I had my arms wrapped around her, my wolf must of taken over in the night and pulled her close but her pressing up against me I couldn't control myself, I instantly jumped up and straddled her.

        "Mmm good morning my love" My goddess she was beautiful.

        "Good morning" she whispered back never taking her eyes off mine, I started brushing my lips across her skin, I needed to feel every inch of her body, my hand was on her waist, feeling the curve of her back

        "And how did you sleep?"

        "Mmm, uh good" Did she just moan? She wanted me touching her she was lusting after me as much I was to her. We were both fighting it. I didn't want to push her into anything but damn she makes it hard to stay strong.

        "Do you want to head down for breakfast?" I needed to pull myself away but I couldn't. She would have to tell me she didn't want this, I couldn't willingly leave at this point. Her eyes went black and she shook her head no. I lost it, I immediately pressed my lips into hers, my hands exploring her body while hers were wrapped around my neck and in my hair. I couldn't get enough of her, I started kissing down her neck and moved down her chest. She took her shirt off and threw it off to the side, she was the most perfect creature I had ever laid eyes on. I heard her heart racing, her breathlessly saying my name. I went back to her lips, kissing, biting, She was mine. We were pressed so close together skin on skin, I wanted more of her.

        "Knock Knock Boss!"

    We broke away both out of breath, just staring at each other for a moment before I went to the door. Tyler better have a damn good reason for interrupting, though I don't know how much further we would of gone.

    I opened the door just enough for me to squeeze out, "This better be good Tyler"

        "It is, I wouldn't of bothered you if it wasn't emergent, we caught a Rogue outside on the grounds, he put up a hell of a fight, few of our guys are getting checked out at the hospital but---"

        "On the grounds? Where? And how did he get past the patrol?"

        "We don't know how he got through, we are taking him down through the tunnels they have here for questioning."

        "Tyler, where was he found?"

        "Outside miss Madeline's window.."
