His Perfect Warrior

Chapter 14

Jake

Weeks had gone by, and Zarina was adjusting well to her duties as Luna. We had falling into a routine, and I was comfortable with it. Zarina seemed to be as well. Every once in a while I notice things about her though. I'll be looking through the door way of our offices and she will seem to lost in thought. Or in a different world. But when I ask her she always says she is fine. I know she is lying. When will she open up to me more? Maybe I should pry more.

I am sitting at my desk going through the quartly expense report, when my mother comes barrling in like she does. I look up from my documents at her as she closes the door that separtes mine and Zee's office.

"Mom, what are you doing?" I say putting the documents down. She walks over and sits in one of the chairs infront of my desk. She doesn't answer me for some time and I find this to be annyoing.

"Mother, if you have nothing to talk about, and if it cannot be said infront of my Wife, your Luna. I suggest you leave." I finally say.

"Honestly Jacob. I wanted to talk to you privately. I can never get a good reading on that Wife of yours." When she said that my blood started to boil.

"Mom, tread lightly. That Wife of mine as you refered to her as, is your Luna. I do not take your disrespect of your Luna, and my mate to well. And nor does Shilo."

"Oh do calm down. I want to get to know her more. But she is so hard to understand. She isn't super girlie, and she isn't super tomboy. It is confusing. But the real reason I am here is because, I want to know when you two plan on having childern?"

I almost choked on my own saliva when she said that. Honestly, I didn't know when. Probably not any time soon, as Zee and I are still trying to understand each other.

"Ma, I don't know. I am trying to still go slow with her. This is all still new for her. Please understand that, and take some time to learn more about your daughter in law. Just talk to her." I said to my mother and I picked up my documents again.

"Fine." She said standing to take her leave.

"Oh, mom. Before you go, please open the door that separates mine and Zees office." I said to her not even looking up from my documents. She didn't say another word just did what I told her to do. But when she did, I got this overwhealming surge of sadness from the mate bond. I didn't even realise I was walking into Zees office until I walked passed my mother. Zarina was at her desk, with her head down and I could her muffled crying.

Why is she crying? I thought to myself. I have never seen her cry. I knelt down next her chair and I gently placed my hand on her leg to try and comfort her.

"My love, what is wrong?" I asked her quitely. She didn't answer just kept crying quitely. I couldn't take this seeing her like this. Shilo whimperd. I stood up, and picked her up in my arms. I then sat down next to her desk with her in my arms. After doing so I notice my Mother was still in the door way of our offices. I flashed her a look that meant leave now, and she did.

"Zarina, it's just us, what is wrong?" I asked her again. She tried to slow her breathing, so she could talk. I could tell that what ever was wrong was very painful for her. I felt it in our bond, but seeing her like this proves it too.

"My mother." She said. "I miss her. I would give anything to hear her voice again. The anniversary of her death is coming, and just seeing how your mother comes to see you and how she shut me out. It just pushed me over ther edge. I'm sorry that you have to see me like this. I'm sorry I am pulling you away from work." She finished and began to cry again. This time not muffling her pain. I held her close and let her sob before I said anything. She cried into my chest and with each sob of pain I held her closer. This must have been what has been the issue lately. I should've known, I had it on my personal calender, due to so many pack memebers losing loved ones that day. But I also put it in there so I would remeber to take extra time with Zee. I am such an idot. I ran my fingers through her hair, attempting to comfort her.

"Hun, please never say you're sorry for feeling your emotions. I told my mother off, when she closed the door. I didn't like it either. I am sorry that I failed you." I said and placed a kiss on top of her head. She didn't say anything just cried. We sat like this for about an hour or so. I don't really know, nor did I care. She needed me. She cried so hard that she feel asleep in my arms, and I didn't want to move her. So I stayed there. I heard my office door open once again. Now what? I said to myself.

"Jay?" Levi said then he walked into my view but he back was turned and he was scrating his head.

Behind you, on the floor. BE QUITE. I linked to him. My last words a threat. He then turned around and looked us. He gave me a puzzled look.

"Um, Can I ask why?" He said.

"She needed me. And now this is where we are. That is all you need to know." I whispared to him. He nodded.

"Ok, well, I came to tell you that there has been some rouge activity in other neighboring pack lands. The other Alphas have been trying to reach you but seeing as your phone is on your desk and you're over here, that would explain why they contacted me." He said and grabbed the blanket off of the couch in Zarines office and placed it over us. Mainly her. I could tell he was just trying to help, but Shilo didn't like it. I had to remind Shilo that it was fine.

"Extra rounds on the borders, and beef up the guards on duty to double for now. If the other packs need help ask then what they need and I will see what we can do to help." I said. He nodded and left.

Mass link, the Alpha is busy. If you need to speak with him come to your Beta first I will tell him. Levi sent out a mass link. And that is why he is my Beta. I took this time with my mate. She needed me, and I wasn't going anywhere. Not even going to move us.

Zarina

I woke up and my head was pounding, Ugh how hard did I cry. I heard the faint snore of Jake. I then looked around and we were still on the ground, I was still in his arms, but there was a blanket on me now? Ok then. I looked up at my mate, and he had fallen asleep. Just how long was I out? His faint snoring, told me that he was in a deep sleep. He looked so peaceful. I couldn't look out the window due to the postion we were in to even get a guess at what time it is. And I didn't want to wake him up.

Levi, are you near? I tired to link with Levi in hopes that he was in range.

Yes Luna. I am at my desk. How my I help?

What time is it?

6pm Luna.

Ok, thank you.

You are welcome Luna.

Ok, now to wake up Jake. This is going to be a task.
