Alpha Loren novel Chapter 132

Thirty mindblowing minutes later, I was rendered breathing heavily underneath my also breathing heavily mate. He was above me with a thin layer of sweat on his brow as we lay amongst a sea of shambolic garments.

"That was fucking good," he said collapsing on top of me. 

I ran my hand through his thick hair and we both caught our breath.

I smiled and kissed him gently on the cheek before wrapping my arms around his shoulders and nuzzling my head into his neck.

Another twenty minutes later, we decided it would be a good idea to get dress- especially considering the fact that this was not our house.

Just as I did the last button up on my blouse, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in, Xander," Leo said pulling his hoody over his head. 

Xander opened the door and immediately sniffed the air. He grimaced and looked over at Leo.

"Really?" he sighed. "At least open a window if you are going to have sex in my house."

"Sorry, Alpha," Leo said getting up to open the windows at the other end of the room. 

"The storm has cleared. It is safe to leave whenever it suits you," Xander informed us. I looked over at the window. There was still a thick layer of snow on the ground but it wasn't falling anymore at least.

"Thank you for allowing us to stay here," Leo said. "And it was lovely seeing my sister."

"You are welcome anytime. And talking of your sister," Xander began. "Bella turns twenty this year and we think that we are ready to start out own family. If that alright with you, Leonardo?"

"Of course. You don't need to ask for my permission anymore. She is a grown woman now and more importantly your Luna so as long as she's happy, I don't care what you do," Leo replied.

Xander nodded. 

"I just wish Haden was more like you," Leo said. "I never said he could impregnate Lia four times before her 20th birthday but he did it anyway. And god his kids can be little devils. I had the joy of being appointed babysitter a couple of months ago. My six and their four combined is like a fucking zoo."

I giggled at the thought of Leo running around after 10 kids all under the age of four alone.

"Now you know how Rosa felt when you were young. Apparently, you were a right little shit," I said.

"I grew out of it at least. The twins are still bringing her grief even now and they're 21," Leo replied defensively.

Xander laughed a little before stepping back towards the door.

"I'll leave you to gather your things," he said before exiting the room.

It didn't take long to pack. Two minutes tops. Leo checked the airport schedule and booked three seats on a flight to Seattle later on in the day.

"We are leaving soon," I said as I entered Max's room. Leo had been downstairs talking to Xander and his beta for over an hour so I decided to confine in Max for company. 

Bad timing though.

"For the love of God put some clothes on," I said covering my eyes at the sight of him standing in an itsy bitsy towel having just got out the shower.

"Funny. Almost as if you just walked into my room without knocking..." he mumbled sarcastically before throwing on a shirt and some jeans.

"He's letting you come home!" I squealed as soon as decency had been obtained. 

"To be honest, I'm surprised I still have my head," he replied with a grin. "What the fucking hell did you say to him?"

"He actually forgave you on his own accord. It was the amulet part that required some persuasion," I explained.

"There was me thinking he loathed me," Max said with a shrug. 

"Oh he did," I replied. "But you have seemingly redeemed yourself in his eyes."

"What exactly did I do except luring you away from him...twice...?"

"He sees a bond between us two and he knows that I don't fuck about with bad people. For example: Luciano," I began. "Thanks for that by the way," I added sarcastically and bitterly.

"You weren't going to tell him so I did it for you."

"No, I wasn't going to tell him! Do you have any idea what Luciano would do if he somehow got to me after finding out that Leo knows?"

"He won't. Leo wouldn't allow it," Max reassured. 

"And Leo is already protective enough over me. I don't need any fuel added to the fire," I replied. 

"He has good reason to be protective about things like this! Do you want to get raped by your cousin?! If he didn't know then he would continue to hand Luciano all his loyalty until something really bad happened." 

I folded my arms and scowled.

"That's the 'I know he's right but I'm not going to admit it' face," Max said with a smirk. "One of your favourites."

"Shut up," I grumbled. 

He smiled to himself in amusement.

"I'm gonna get to see Milly!" He squealed suddenly out of the blue. "After three years I'm going to get to see her!" he added pulling me into a tight hug.

"Max?" I asked.

"Yes?"

"I can't breath."

"Oh, sorry," he said releasing me and putting his hands on my cheeks before grinning ear to ear again. 

"That's the first time you've ever hugged me," I pointed out. "Must be out of your permanent bad mood at last! Just as we are going home."

"Shut up and don't ruin it," he said. "When are we going?"

"Two hours. It's a long drive to the airport though."

He nodded and began to pack his things as I sat on the window seat gazing at the beautiful view whilst enjoying a chat with my favourite cousin. 

As planned, two hours later we thanked Bella and Xander for every time, bidded our farewells and one of Xander's men began to drive us back to Moscow.
