My Alpha King Savior

First Night In A New House

Sophia’s POV

After Xander came back to the room and kicked everyone out we just sat here in complete silence next to each other. I don't know how comfortable I feel sleeping next to a man I hardly know.. I know he is my mate but it's a safety net for me. I would rather get to know him more, Trust him better instead of just jumping into things like most mates do. But I still want to be in the same vicinity as him.

“Is It okay if I sleep on the couch over there until I'm more comfortable?” I ask softly, hoping not to make him angry.

He gives me a sad expression.

“I'll let you have the bed, I'll sleep over there instead, Make yourself comfy darling” Xander says making me smile.

“Can we talk tomorrow so i can get to know you better” I ask curious

He hesitates

“Sure, Anything you want to know i'll let you ask” He says with a smile.

He gets up and moves one of his pillows over to the couch. He saunters over and shuts off the light.

“Goodnight Sophia” He says softly

“Goodnight Xander” I mumble as I drift off to sleep in his bed.

**Next morning**

I slowly open my eyes. My mate's scent is very faint which tells me he is no longer in the room with me. I sigh as I sit up and see a note on the side table.

The note:

Goodmorning Darling, I am down in the kitchen making you breakfast. There are some clothes for you that I had Raya bring for you. I cleared my whole day for you. Come down once you've changed gorgeous.

Love,

Xander

I smile, He thought about me. It makes my heart warm and fuzzy. I take a deep breath and grab some jeans and a long sleeve shirt out of the things Raya brought for me. I go into the bathroom and take a hot shower. I like my showers to feel like its melting my skin off. I get done with my shower and get dressed and slowly make my way to the kitchen. I say slowly because I am lost. This house is HUGE. From what I understand the only people who live in this house are Xander, Damon, Raya, And a few others. As I internally scold myself for getting lost I ran right into a very beautiful woman.

I look down and mutter “I am so sorry”

“Its okay sweetheart, You look lost. May I ask where you are headed?” She questions tilting her head at me.

“Uh, I am trying to reach the kitchen but this house is so big I got confused” I sigh

“Oh hun its right this way” She smiles softly at me leading me to the kitchen.

“Hello Xander” She says sweetly. A hint of jealousy runs through me.. Why am I jealous?

“Hey mom” He says, giving her a big hug.

Oh f*****g hell. I got jealous of his mom? Im dumb. Wait, I just met my mate's mom.. I wonder if she knows.. I wonder if she hates me.

Xander snaps me out of my thoughts and it appears his mom is no longer in the kitchen. He chuckles.

“Are you okay darling?” He says trying to stifle more chuckles.

I blush from embarrassment.

“I'm okay, I got lost.” I shrug.

“My mom told me you ran into her and seemed a little lost” He chuckles again. God, I love the sound of his laugh. I smile and smell something burning. I hear Xander curse under his breath and run over to the stove.

I laugh, “Do you want me to cook something for us?” I ask, smiling.

He looks at me defeated and nods.

“Unless you want burnt Pancakes” He points pouting

“No thanks” I laugh.

As I start to cook some bacon and pancakes Xander stands close behind watching my every move. I think he's trying to learn.

As I get done I give Xander his plate and set mine in a seat next to him.

He takes a bite and moans softly.

“Mmmm these are so good” He exclaims.

I smile and say “Thank you” as I enjoy my breakfast. I think to myself the questions I am going to ask him today. I hope I don't push the wrong button..
