Bexleigh and the Beast

Chapter 7

Axels POV

I should of had a driver for tonight because I didn't want to take my eyes off of her. She was beautiful every way I seen her, but tonight she had a happy glow and her minimal make up. I wanted to run my fingers through her hair repeatedly it was perfect loose curls between her shoulder blades. She had on shorts and a crop top her stomach was toned her legs were muscular and her ass was phenomenal. She was like a Porsche. Then she said she wanted to be mine I wanted to pull over and grab her then, make her mine offically and Blaze seemed to agree. I was trying to take it slow, but when she looks like that it was hard not to have a sparked desire. However I would continue to let her make her move, even if it involved a cold shower every day of my life until then.

"So what are our plans?"

"Nothing big I'm going to take you back to pack land and take you to my favorite spots." The first spot we were going to go to was by the lake behind the pack house in the middle of the woods, I had Jack, Daphne, and Jules set up a little table and dinner on the dock of the lake. Lucky for me Jules knew all her favorites and had agreed to make them in exchange for a promise that I would go with Bexleigh next Wednesday night to meet the family when she asked. I of course obliged.

We pulled up to the small lake and Bexleigh immediately perked up in her seat to look out the window. "This is beautiful," she said as we parked in the area next to the dock. Dustin, Jack, and an Omega were there handling the finishing touches. When Bexleigh seen Dustin she sort of got a nervous smile on her face. "He would never dream of hurting you, even before you were on track to be his Luna. He is more tall then he is violent, I promise," I reassure her. And even if he thought about hurting her it would be the last thing he did.

I ran around the car trying to beat her toward the door, but the independent young lady beat me to it. "Sorry I don't even think about it anymore, but I'll let a s*x god open the door for me any day of the week." She said s*x god with a wink and I immediately went back to refraining from ripping her clothes off. She looked so sexy as she grabbed my hand and slid out of the passenger seat of the car. Her long muscular legs and the way the light breeze flipped her hair around into her face. The makeup she had on only accentuating her blue green eyes, which were looking bright green with hints of gray in them at this point in time, and her perfect lips. She had on freckle on her upper lip that you could barely see unless you studied her face like I did. It was like the world slowed down as she got out if the car giving me a moment to completly appreciate everything about her physic.

I led her over to the small table set for two as Jack, Dustin, and Daphne all slightly bowed their heads showing respect for their Alpha couple. Then they retreated down the gravel drive toward the pack house to give us privacy. We started small talking as we ate the food Jules had prepared, but she cut right to the chase a soon as I had my last bite of food off my plate on the things I thought we would eventually discuss this evening. "Did you come up with a plan for my living arrangements. Your grandma said it would be safer for me to be at the packhouse but I don't want to just leave my house to fall in."

"I did discuss it with Jack earlier but we haven't found a total solution yet, we figure it would only add about 20 minutes to patrol for the time you choose to stay there. However I would eventually want you to come to the packhouse just for safety purposes. I also was thinking that maybe we could send an Omega there weekly and do the cleaning and maintenance,when you decide, if you decide moving in with me is the better option for you."

"It is the better option, I love my house but it is pertinent for our safety and the packs safety you are here. I can't be selfish but I am also not ready to move yet. I have those 3 horses there atleast until the end of this month. And What about Rosie? I will not leave her she has been with me for 9 years used to being queen of the castle. I would expect her to have some of the same freedoms here as she does at my house."

"Some pack members have dogs it's not uncommon and as long as she adjusts well there is no reason she can't come."

"Also," she said getting a business tone to her voice, "I will continue to work, I love my job, I love patient care I want my job."

"What about the pack hospital?" I wasn't trying to make her change her mind because I wanted her to change her mind I just know that it's a more controlled environment and I need my girl safe.

"I like my job. Also I want kids someday. I want your kids someday and I don't want to work with the same people who are going to see my vajay when we do have kids."

There goes the serious conversation I thought, I want babies with this woman and she just said she wanted them with me and I turned to mush. "How many kids?"

"Way to divert the conversation," she looked half annoyed and half satisfied with the new conversation at hand.

"You said you wanted my babies and I couldn't help but forget anything other than you pregnant with my pups."

"You call them pups?"

"I mean that's what they are."

"It's a term I could get used to but it's also weird. Also I don't know how many I want I figure we can just keep going until we're tired of having them. I never wanted kids, but I want them with you. I guess Jules was right when she said once I meet the right guy I would change my mind and give her grandbabies. Do you call them grand pups?" She had a mischievous grin on her face one that showed she was both intrigued and trying to stir the pot a little.

"Just grandchildren, or the like," I still had the rotten grin on my face from hearing this girl wanted my pups. I wonder how long she would make me wait to put them in her. I can already imagine her belly swollen with my babies in it and it was just another thing I could look forward to with her. "You want to sit on the dock? It seems like a good evening to do it."

Before she could even stand all the way up a shriek was heard not far away and I stood up ready to protect my girl from whatever monster was coming. Trina.

"What the hell is that?"

Well I was hoping we would only have to talk about one ex tonight. Preferably not this one but I guess if word got out in the packhouse about my date then she would keep grilling people until she found out. I linked Jack there is a wild animal out here I need you to come help me with.

What is it, Jack linked back.

Trina

Jack laughed through the mind link be there in a minute boss.

"So this is my uh kind of ex, I wouldn't call her that, she has a big mouth but that's about all. Jack is coming but, just, don't talk to her really it's not worth it. She thinks she is going to be Luna because dad thought it would be a good idea to have blood lines that could support a strong offspring. I did make a bad choice to sleep with her and won't make excuses but I also made our relationship clear to her this morning." Bexleigh looked disappointed I was hoping it was because our evening was ruined and not because of my choices, but it was too late to question it because Trina was standing right infront of us looking irritated, but also like she was up to no good.

"Hey baby, I heard you had planned a special date for your new Luna, those stupid Omega's must have forgot to come get me, but I am here now." She tried throwing herself in my arms and I took a step back and she almost fell. "What's wrong baby?"

"We had this talk earlier with Jack, Trina you know that I found my mate."

"I did but I also know that a strong Alpha like you wouldn't accept a human as his mate." She said running her hand accrossed my chest. I swatted her hand away seriously considering breaking her fingers.

"I did, and I will not change my mind."

"Can your pet not speak?"

"She can she just doesn't like to waste her breath on geriatric bullies," Bexleigh said scooting around my side to stand beside me. "Which you should understand because every breath is important when you don't know when your last one is going to be."

"Is that a threat?"

"For the time being but I wouldn't push it because you keep messing around with MY man it will become a promise."

I think we were both a little taken aback by Bexleighs boldness, because we both just stared at her. My sassy little mate.

"I agree with the hot girl," Jack said.

"I knew you would be on my side," Trina said crossing her arms across her chest.

"Oh no," Jack laughed, "the actual hot girl." I mean I was thinking it, but I couldn't necessarily say it it would be the most admirable way to handle authority. "Let's go Trina let's leave your Alpha and future Luna alone," he said grabbing her a gently at first.

"You are going to regret this," she said directing her comment to me. "Both of you are going to regret this," she said trying to stare Bexleigh down. Bexleigh stood strait up and smiled.

"Luna Bexleigh, so tough."

"Alpha Axel, so hot," she said looking up at me practically begging for a kiss with her eyes. Who am I to deny what she wants. I leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips. I picked her up by her legs and she wrapped them around my waist the kiss getting more urgent by the second, as I pushed her against the side of my car.

"What has gotten into you?" I said catching my breath.

"I don't know, but are you complaining," she asked panting just as hard. Her scent or arousal filling the air around us and it made it harder to control myself. "I want you," she said, "I need to stop but I can't and I want all of you."

"In the middle of the woods?"

"Probably not, huh," she said kissing acrossed my jaw line and down my neck. I don't know how she knows where my marking spot is but she kissed it and about did me in. "I'll quit," she said not actually quiting.

"Bexleigh, I need you. Maybe not this way but I need you. I love you. I heard rumors of having a mate but never expected to feel this way about mine. Why are you so perfect?" I was panting. I was desperate. I was desperate for her and her love, everything else she gave me was just a bonus. I now understood the intensity that everyone craved. Bexleigh just laid in my arms something I had started to become accustomed to in these past two days.

"How is it possible to feel this way after knowing somebody for 2 days?"

"I don't know," I answered honestly, "but I am not particularly interested in changing it.

"Me either."

"Sorry Trina ruined our night," I said looking to see her true thoughts on it.

She laughed a little, "me too." At least she laughed. The sun was starting to set at this point and the light was hitting her face in perfect light, I don't know how it could be possible to look more like an angel than usual but she did. I closed my eyes and imagined my whole life with her and realized I couldn't remember what life was like without her. It's like every memory before her I had ever had began and ended with her.

"Do you want to continue our date?"

"Yes."

The next stop was supposed to be where I shifted for her. Private and away from everyone. I linked the Omega that helped with the dinner that were were done and thanked them, then opened the car door for Bexleigh. I started the car and drove down the gravel lane leading further into the woods where we stopped in a large clearing with a small log cabin. Instead I just lead her in to the cabin where there was a large TV ready to play my favorite movie, I was hoping she was a fan of comedy. I sat down on the reclining couch and held my arm out for her to snuggle in. She put her right leg over mine and put her head on my chest facing the screen. I was getting ready to press play when she asked me a question quietly, "will you turn me?"

"On your side," I knew the question she was asking but it wasn't one I had thought too much about.

"No," she said perhaps even more quiet than the first question, "into a werewolf. Will you do it?"

"I think we should figure out what we are getting in to but I will if that's what you want. I think it's a little dangerous. Are you sure?"

"I want to live in your world. Most importantly I want to be able to protect myself in your world, your ex if she caught me by myself she could have shifted and killed me. I don't want to be the weakest person here especially if it means I can't even stand up for myself."

"Baby, I will protect you. Always."

" So your just going to tell me that you didn't think even for a minute about rejecting me because I am weak? I wouldn't have known. You could gave rejected me and started dating Trina and I wouldn't know anymore than I did 24 hours ago."

"I did think of rejecting you for your safety but I would never pick Trina over you. Not even if I never met you would she have ever been in the picture." She put her arm acrossed my chest, snuggled closer, but didn't say anything. I took that as my cue to pull her closer and started the movie. This isn't quite how I envisioned our first date but it was still perfect.

The movie had ended and it was time to take her home. "Ready to go home?"

"No," she said looking at me and frowning. "I just want to stay like this forever."

She squeezed me tighter. "If your free , Jules invited us over for dinner Wednesday."

"Oh, she let me know. I'll get to see you before that though. Right?"

"I mean I have plans tomorrow and need to study for an exam I have coming up, but I am sure I can squeeze you in."

We got up and started the drive home, she was leaning against the window biting her lip, I think she does that when she is thinking. I wanted to bite her lip. "Penny for your thoughts?" I said grabbing her hand and kissing it.

"Just thinking about you, us, this," she said gesturing back and forth between us. "It's a lot to think about and me feeling like this so quick makes me not understand how you find me so loveable. I just am nervous that the feeling I have is not mutual I suppose."

"I want you Bex. I understand it's scary as a werewolf we are told about mates our whole life. It's not shocking to us when we actual find it. Humans on the other hand are taught they have to earn love. I will do my best to prove to you that you don't have to earn my love until you understand you are it for me Bexleigh. The girl of my dreams. s**t, you are my dream."

She gave a small smile. "I have an ex too. His name is Jenson we literally were together our whole lives until he left for the military. When he did that he just left, no warning no letters no text messages I heard about where he was and what he was doing through the towns gossip girls. The love of my life just left me. I was so unlovable I couldn't even be broken up with he made me feel like I didn't deserve closure. Then 7 years later he comes back to my front door and expects me to take him back. Like he has been messaging and calling me trying to get me to respond to him."

I couldn't help the loud growl that vibrated through my chest. She was mine. He needed to stay in his lane. "Well I promise if I see him he will know without a doubt you are mine and he can't have you. I will do whatever it takes. You are loveable. If we didn't have the mate bond and I met you the same way I would be attracted to you. You are beautiful. You are kind and smart, caring and funny. I will fight anyone and everyone who gets in my way of having you." We pulled down her drive and put the car in park. "Bexleigh, I love you. I do not care how many times I have to say it a minute. I love you. I want to marry you, I have already envisioned you in every scenario, You moving in with me, you walking towards me at our wedding, you being pregnant with our pups, you and me raising them, us getting old. All those milestones I couldn't even try to imagine any part of my life without you in it now that I met you. You are my girl Bex, your stuck with me. I would move mountains to ensure that at the end of everyday you were healthy, safe, and mine."

She bit her lip again, "I love you Axel Ross."

"I love you to Bexleigh Armstrong. Infact I love you more."

"Prove it."

"I will, how about we meet with the pack doctor on Monday if you have time and discuss turning you?"

"I really would like that." She put her hand on her door and started to get out of the car, I walked around the car to meet her at the front of the vehicle. "Despite the drama I had a really good night tonight. I just like being with you."

"I had fun too," I wrapped my arms around her tightly and in turn she wrapped hers around my waist. "Will you just move in with me already, I'm tired of driving away from you already."

"I will but I have stuff around here that needs to be taken care of. Maybe beginning of June. Boo to adult responsibilities," she said in my chest with a raging sarcastic tone. I grabbed her chin and gently pulled it up and placed a kiss on those perfect lips.

"I need to leave before I don't," her face formed a small frown. I didn't like being the reason she frowned. I wanted every effect I had on her to be a smile.

"I know," she looked down kicking the ground a little bit. "I guess at the very least I will see you Monday."

"I will come pick you up text me with a time that works for you."

"You text me with a time that works with Dr. Walker, he's probably a busy guy."

"Probably but never too busy to talk to a future Luna."

I kissed her again careful to make sure it wasn't so intense I didn't leave. I walked her to the door. We said our goodbyes, I watched her go in and turned around to walk back to my car. I sat there staring at the door doing my final debate on rather I needed to go back in to her.

When I arrived back at the packhouse it was almost 11 and it was rather quiet, I like it like this. It means we are at peace. I brought myself up the stairs and took off everything but my boxers, and crawled in bed. I tossed and turned for a few hours wondering if Bexleigh was struggling falling asleep. Hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks I will never have to sleep without her ever again.
