I can feel my mate watching me as I sleep. Good morning my love. How did you sleep?
I managed to whisper. I slept well. Thank you for asking.
Mates hiding something, onyx chimes in.
What do you mean?
We are mated now. I can feel his emotions. He's anxious and restless.
I sat up on the bed taking in Onyx's concerns. Zion has seemed a little withdrawn lately.
Hey, come back to me, my love, I say, seeming to pull him from his thoughts. What's troubling you?
"Nothing," he says, giving me a half smile.
Come on, put some clothes on.
For what?
You need to get out for a bit. I want to show you around the pack. Besides, we need to go get you some clothes of your own. But I like wearing your clothes, he says, pretending to pout.
Mate melts my heart, Onyx says.
Me, too, buddy..me too.
Zion
The way this man looks at me makes me love him even more. The guilt of hiding parts of who I am is killing me.I am such a coward.
I feel his hand caress my face and his sweet earthy scent floods my senses, calming me down. Hey, come back to me, my love, he whispered.
I'm brought back from my pit of despair only for him to drag me out of the house.I guess he figured me being cooped up was making me sad, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Being with him is what makes me happiest.
My mates so possessive of me he held me close as we walked through town exploring all the hidden gems.
Many wolves greeted my mate, some waving, others bowing to show their respect. Some gave me a nod as a show of acknowledgment, but for the most part i was ignored . I'm guessing it has something to do with the powerful aura rolling off Xia whenever someone gets too close, especially the unmated wolves. Such a jealous mate, I smile to myself.
We went to a nice little family diner for breakfast and I must say the salmon bites they serve are to die for. After we ate, we did some shopping. My mate brought me some questionable items from an adult store we visited, but id be lying if i said i didn't want to try them out.
He took me to the pack pool and we swam for hours this was the best part of my day. Or it was until we stopped by the pack orphanage. He seemed hesitant at first, but we settled in quickly.
The children instantly clung to my mate, watching him play with the kids ,call them by name like they were old friends . He even ordered 17 pizzas to feed everyone.I can tell he comes here often.
He was so good with the children. The way his eyes lit up when he met the newest pup ky in the orphanage.He could only be a few months old, two, maybe three.
I sat off in the distance watching my mate soothe the screaming pup.Xia has such a nurturing spirit.
I can't count all the lullabies he sang, and I enjoyed every single one of them.
Surprisingly, the kids weren't scared of him. This absolute husk of a man.
Watching him with the little ones made me wish we could have a pup of our own. When it was finally time for us to go, I practically had to drag him out of the orphanage by his tail.
On the walk home he told me about his past and how he doesn't remember much. Even about his real parents.
I found out he was an orphan too, before the alpha took him in. I guess my mate has layers.
At that moment, I knew I had to open up to him, but not tonight. I don't want to ruin tonight.
Um, Xia before we turn in, I have a request. We stop simultaneously, as he turns to face me.
Ask anything, and it shall be yours, he says with a devious grin.
May I speak to Onyx, I ask sheepishly.
The widest smile crept onto my mate's face. His green eyes shifted from green to the purest emerald without ever giving me a reply.
Hello my love," I whispered, caressing his cheek.
I can't believe you wanted to see me," he says, grinning.
well you are my mate too, aren't you?
Well, yes, but since you don't have a wolf, I wasn't sure if you felt the same pull towards me as you do with xia.
I leaped into my mate's arms kissing him, pouring all my passion into our kiss.I love you onyx," I say, pulling back.
I lean my forehead against his letting the sparks fly between us.I need him to know I care about him too.
Im sorry for hurting you, I whispered, and you are just as much my mate as xia is. You two are one, but you are also two separate beings.
I love how you're big softy and xia is nonchalant. Kissing you is patient and passionate and xia is rough and lust-filled . You two even smell different. He's my little mound of earth but you.You smell like the wind on a winters' day.
His hold tightens on me and I can feel him trembling and his breath getting ragged.
Are you crying?" I ask, tracing his tears with my thumb.
Maybe. Im just happy you want me too.you even notice the differences between xia and I.
Of course, I noticed you too don't even have the same laugh. I'm sorry I didn't express my feelings sooner. You must have felt so lonely.
Where I'm from. When we mate, we mate for life.
Nothing could ever change that onyx? Do you hear me, I say, gripping his face, making him look into my eyes.
He gives me a silent nod as confirmation while trying to keep the floodgates in check.
I kissed Onyx one last time while singing into his lips. This is the best way I can express myself to him.I let him into my mind pouring images of my thoughts and feelings into him.
Moments later, xias back in control.
I think you broke him xia say, laughing, kissing the back of my hand.
I love both of you xia. I say.
We love you too," they say in unison.
