His Special Mate

Chapter 20

MAVERICK’S POV:

I hurried upstairs to my room, skipping the stairs two at a time to get the top third floor faster. I opened the door, walked in, and kicked the door closed. I walked to my bed and sat down. I held my delicate flower close to my chest. Titan purring in delight as her body erupted tingles all over where she touched. She dug her nose into my shirt, breathing deeply, as she tightly grasped the material and the buttons of my shirt. I did not move or say anything, we just sat in complete quiet.

“Addy, please say something,” I whispered, concerned. She just laid in my arms, not saying anything.

‘Kyle schedule an urgent pack meeting in the training field at dusk.’ I mind-linked him. I will be addressing the entire pack about my mate and her bullying. I am ready to slaughter my entire pack for Addy’s well-being. No one will be bullying anyone like this again, and humans will be allowed, if they are mated to any pack members.

I laid her on the bed, and walked to the bathroom. I think she could use a relaxing bath, with some calming essential oils. It’s been quite a day for her. I filled the tub with warm water and added some lavender oils. After the tub was filled up all the way, I grabbed two towels from under the sink vanity and set them on the countertop. I then walked out of the bathroom, Addy was still sitting on the bed where I laid her.

“I ran a bath for you,” I said, picking her up bridal style, carrying her to the bathroom, and setting her on the countertop, gently.

“I am gonna undress you, but I will not look I promise,” I explained. I took her shirt and bra off then took her shoes off, before setting her on her feet on the floor. I undid her pants, letting them and her underwear fall to the floor. I picked her up and carried her to the bathtub, setting her inside gently. I felt her body shiver in delight as her body adjusted to the temperature of the water. I set the towel closer to the tub on the floor and then left the room. I closed the door only a little, leaving the door ajar a bit.

ADDY’s POV:

Ni handed me back control, as soon as I was in the bathtub. I sat in the warm water, letting my body completely relax and enjoy the smell of oils in the water.

I can’t believe Maverick did this for me. Maybe I misjudged him a bit. I smile crept on my face as I thought of the way he protected me and carried me to his room and even made me a bath. I never imagined having a mate and him doing things like this for me.

‘I think I will accept him, Ni,’ I said. Ni wagged her tail and turned in circles, excited that I had come to my senses.

Maybe it was the mate bond, I do not know, but I really should try since the moon goddess gave me this chance to even have a mate.

The water finally got cold. I dipped my head under the water to wet my hair, and then I unplugged the tub and stood up. I looked around, stepping out of the tub, and noticed a towel neatly folded on the ground. I pick up, unfolding it, and patted my body dry, before wrapping it around my body. The towel was warm and soft, which felt nice. I grabbed another towel off the hook and wrapped it around my soaking wet hair.

I looked around the bathroom for my backpack.

‘My bag’s out near the bed, I think,’ I whined. I tiptoed towards the door, the door was cracked open. I could smell Maverick was in the room, or maybe it was just because everything in the room was wafted in his scent since it was his room.

I peeked my head out, to see if Maverick was in the room. I did not see him, so I opened the door and beelined it to my backpack sitting on the floor near the door of the room. I just as I bent down to grab my backpack, I growl. I froze in place, grasping my backpack towards my chest.

“Sorry, um.. you can go into the closet to change. I was just grabbing clothes so I could shower,” Maverick said, pointing to the doors he just exited. I looked up to see his face pink from embarrassment. My face was flushed pink from him catching me naked in only a towel. He carried the clothes to the bathroom and shut the door behind him. I moved towards the closet and closed the doors slightly for privacy. I pulled out my dark blue skinny jeans and a a lilac tank top. It was still hot outside still. I pulled the towel off and put on my undergarments and then my clothes. I pulled on my socks and my black and white high-top converse. I tied my laces and then moved onto my hair. I patted my hair with the towel before removing it. I took my brush and brushed through my long, brown, straight hair. I put into a French braid going down my back, then wrapped it into a bun at the base of my neck. It was a hairstyle I usually wore since this style tended to cause less pain when my hair was pulled by my bullies.

I walked out of the closet, just as Maverick walked out of the bathroom. He was dressed and was rubbing a towel against his hair, drying it. His hair was the perfect length, it was long but not too long because it wasn’t able to be pulled into a man bun. It reminded me of shaggy from Scooby-doo but way hotter because he was f****ing hot and all mine. He was wearing a casual dark grey muscle tee-shirt and a pair of dark blue denim jeans.

“You like what you see,” he chuckled, a smirk on his lips.

“I.. um..” I drooled, quickly clearing my throat, looking away as my face flushed red in embarrassment,

Maverick just chuckled at my embarrassment.

“It’s okay to admire men I would expect nothing less than for you to drool and stare at me like the way you were,” he stated, seductively.

I only flushed more red, unable to respond.

“As much as I would love to keep you to myself, we have some business to take care of in about 10 minutes, so let’s go,” he said, walking over to me and grabbing my hand, leading us both out of the room and down the stairs.

We headed out the pack house, it was very quiet inside and outside. He continued to walk in a direction I was not aware of where we were going to. It was not very common for me to go the training grounds, unless Kyle was told to babysit me and he had me sit and do homework while I wanted for him to finish training.

“Why are we going to the training fields?” I asked.

“I have an announcement to make to our pack. And you are my mate so you are gonna follow me,” he explained, in a duh tone.

“Oh,” I mumbled.

As we got closer, I could see the whole pack had been assembled. I swallowed hard. I can do this! I chanted to myself repeatedly. Maverick stopped and looked down at me and caressing my cheek with his hand. I closed my eyes to calm my nerves, opening my eyes and nodded my head telling him I was ready.
