Big Bad Wolfie novel Chapter 14

•••Jason's POV•••

I can hear her moving around in there. It's just making it even harder to wait until tomorrow to do everything I have planned. I don't know what she could be doing in there, but all I do know, is that I'm not getting to sleep until she does.

~*~*~*~

I didn't get a second of shut eye, which means she didn't either.

Which also means she's gonna be even more bratty and hard to deal with, and I'm going to have even less patience for it.

'And I'm going to have even less patience in waiting to be able to have my mate JASON,' my wolf, Malaki, cried.

I rolled my eyes.

You know she doesn't even have a wolf right Malaki? And I'm pretty sure she's not into that beastiality stuff.

'I'm fine with that. Just know I'm gonna be taking over a lot more often when you finally —'

That's enough of that. I don't need anymore temptation myself.

It's a little earlier than I usually start the day, but I decided to get up and get ready anyway. After doing all the basics, I threw on a white button up and dark blue jeans. Looking in the mirror, I thought about how I would style my hair today. I ran my hand through it.

Done.

I waited a few more minutes, and heard Emily arrive in the hallway. She walked into the room across from mine.

Her room.

"Alright, get up," Emily barked.

Haha, it's funny hearing her act all mean.

"Go away!" I heard Maria whine.

Apparently she's not much more affected by it than I am.

'Aw, how cute. Isn't our mate adorable?'

Yes, yes. Go back to sleep Malaki.

'But she's so —'

Night, night.

I heard a bunch of rustling.

"UuUuuUuUGgGggGhhHH!"

Oh my goddess, did a dinosaur just resurrect from the dead?

"I hate all of you."

"Yeah, you've mentioned it."

Oh, nope, it was just my mate being forced out of bed in the morning.

Well maybe if she had actually slept in it, she would —

Before I could finish my thought, a knock came from the other side of my door. "Alpha?" Emily called.

It was Emily, Claire, Bruno and a certain someone else with a particularly sweet scent on the other side of the door. I opened it, and my eyes were immediately drawn to hers, then they raked her body that is still only dressed in the sweat pants and T-shirt we gave her last night. How does she manage to still look delicious in it?

'Perrrrr' Malaki purred.

Sleep!

I took in and appreciated her hips first, and then waist and thighs and everything. I panned down, then back up. I revisited the slightly chapped but infinitely rosy lips I couldn't take my eyes off of last night, then her average to larger sized nose, then her perfectly cut jaw, to her pale but a adorable cheeks — when she smiles cute dimples appear there. Her cheek bones rest high on her face, but not too high. The perfect height I think would be the best way to describe it. Then, last but not least, certainly not least, probably the best actually, her eyes. Emerald green. So deep, like a dark forest I could fall into and never want out of.

"Come."

I started walking down the corridor, not waiting for a response. I knew they would follow me.

I thought about putting my hand at the back of her neck anyway, just as an excuse to touch her, but decided against it. The others would find it suspicious. Emily knows, but the warriors don't. And an alpha finding his mate that can't immediately become Luna needs to be kept under wraps.

We walked down all the stairs and winding hallways to finally reach the front door. Zach met us there and followed us out.

We reached the staircase leading up to the doors and stopped, and I turned to Maria.

"You remember what I said?"

She rolled her eyes.

Malaki and I both growled.

"Of course, how could I forget?"

'Why does she always have to roll her eyes at us?'

I don't know Ki.

"Good," I nodded. "You'll be coming with us around the territory and introducing us to everybody in the central area. Who they are, who we are. What they do, what we do, stuff like that," I informed her.

She sighed. "Let's get it over with then, I guess."

She led the way, which I'd usually have a problem with, but don't now, because of the amazing view from back here.

'She looks too good in those sweats.'

We followed her towards the first house on the right and came up beside her when she neared the door. She knocked. The person on the other side was quick to answer.

Maria took a deep breath. "Mr. Sellers, Hello, how have you been?"

"How have I been? Really? How have I been. Did those words actually just come out of your mouth you little know-it-all brat?"

Woah.

"Lemme tell you how I've been —"

"Mari!" A female voice came from behind him. She quickly pushed him aside and tackled Maria in a hug. Maria returned the favor with a smile. "Oh my gosh, I'm so glad that you're okay!" The girl beamed.

"Well I'm not! She —"

"Dad, don't be mean," the girl turned to the man, cutting him off once again.

He rolled his eyes and they eventually landed on us. His daughter followed his gaze and found us, as well. Almost like they're just now noticing our presence, frowns sketched themselves onto their faces.

"Um Mari," the girl looked back to her. "What's going on?"

She let out another sigh and gestured to me. "This is Jason, he's an alpha —"

"Your alpha," I corrected.

She stared at me.

"This is Claire and Bruno, warriors."

'Of course, just like our mate to completely ignore us'

"And this is Emily, I don't really know what she is, but she's been forcing me out of bed in the morning so, that's something."

Oh my goddess. She has no filter.

"Guys, this is Mr. Sellers and Cami. They live here with Samantha Sellers, Cami's mom. Mr. and Mrs. Sellers help keep tabs on the blood portions everyone receives —"

"Which have been going down a great deal, and —"

"And Cami goes to school at the high school down the road," Maria continued, talking through Sellers' interruption.

Haha, it's funnier when she's ignoring other people.

"Yeah," the girl named Cami nodded, clearly a little nervous around us.

"Okay," I nodded back. "We only have one more thing to ask, and then we'll be out of your hair," I looked between her and her father. "Do the two of you have any fighting experience?" I question.

Maria and the other girl shared a look. At first I was concerned she would do something stupid, but she gave Cami a reassuring nod.

Hm.

Cami looked back at us. "We know the basics," she shrunk back a little. "like most of the people you'll talk to," she informed.

I nodded again. "Thank you, c'mon."

On to the next house.
