Her Forever (Book 2)- Chapter 10

After leaving Rosalie in her room, I quickly changed into jeans and a black muscle tee and headed downstairs. The house was cleaned to perfection; since finding out that Rosalie was my mate, I had made every pack member come deep clean every crevice of the house. Not that it was that dirty to begin with, but I wanted everything perfect for my mate’s arrival. Wolves tend to be very passionate about caring for what’s theirs, and Rosalie was very much mine. This was to be her home, and if she didn’t love it, I would rip it to pieces and build something else for her from the ground up.

Keith stood in the kitchen in his joggers and an ACDC band shirt. He had just gotten off the phone with the pack gate guards letting them know that a pizza delivery guy was on the way. We decided on something simple for dinner since I hadn’t officially shown her the rest of the house, like I’d wanted to do in the morning. “Is she getting settled, Alpha?” Keith asked as he put the phone back into his pocket.

my more new serious warriors. Tyson had just arrived a month ago after transferring packs because he hadn’t found his mate and felt like he needed a change. The Goddess must have planted something in his mind that this was where he was supposed to go because he found what he was looking for. Werewolves would always find their mates; time was a different story.

After that, you are on your own, Alpha.” She giggled into Tyson’s neck. I rolled my eyes. I was happy for Amanda, but my Wolf was insanely jealous we couldn’t hold our mate like that.

After I filled a plate with three pieces of pizza and a coke, I handed it to her. She looked at me questioningly, and I gave her another nod for her to take it. “I got it

I jumped so high that I landed on the ottoman in a defensive stance, ready to run while everyone, including the girls, started laughing at me.

Looking up, I could see Jack was sleeping too. His steady breathing and the rhythm of his heart were sounds I would cherish.

My decision was made; I had to get up. Being meticulously slow, I unwrapped his thick, muscular arm from around me and placed a pillow in my stead. The blanket that he had me wrapped in was now wrapped around his own body.
