Alpha Nicholas novel Chapter 65

Tony

Hearing my mate’s story has left me sad, mad and just plain angry.

Yes, both Nick and I were in one of those camps and experienced our own kind of horror but what the women go through… Fuck! We thought we knew what they went through but it’s so much worse. My mate, my beautiful mate was forced to have two children before she was even 18 and then when she refused to join their group although i’d say it’s more of a cult, they took away her children and tried to kill her.

She told us about her two sons that she hadn’t seen since they were both 2 days old. Her oldest son is only 11 months older than her youngest. The moment she healed from giving birth to her oldest son they got her pregnant again.

She was seriously ill after the birth of her second son and the doctor told the leader that she wouldn’t be able to give birth anymore so they offered her a place with them Looking for other girls to kidnap and when she refused they went after her. The only reason she survived was because Drake got in the way. He lost his life that day saving my mate’s life and I’ll forever be grateful to him for what he did.

By the time she has finished telling us about her sons, Drake saving her life and how she managed to get to this pack she is completely heartbroken and it’s killing me.

“I see no reason not to trust her. Tony, why don’t you take Rosie to your room so she can have some time to rest? Everyone take an hour to do whatever you need to do and then meet me in the cells at 2 pm. I understand today has been crazy already but we still have business to attend to and I don’t want it going on for any longer than necessary.

Tony, you may bring Rosie down if you wish, she can sit in the guard’s room with the other ladies. Now, everyone buggers off oh and Tony, Rosie. I understand today has been hard for you both but I still want to give you my sincere congratulations.”As usual, Nick is incredible. We both know that he could have given her much more of a hard time than he did but he didn’t. Instead, he found out what he needed to all while showing compassion for my mate and what she’s been through and I’ll forever be grateful to him for that.

The whole walk back to my room is done in silence with Rosie constantly staring at the ground lost in her thoughts and I get it. She has had one hell of an emotional day and I can’t imagine how she must feel reliving it all. I certainly can’t imagine how it must feel to not only have given birth twice at such a young age but then to have lost those. babies too. I swear to goddess, if I ever get my hands on those sons of bitches I’m going to tear every single one of them apart.

I open the door to my room and pull Rosie in behind me stopping only to close the door before heading for the large couch that I have in my living area and taking a seat before pulling her into my lap. I half expect her to try and fight me on it but she doesn’t. She is so lost in her grief that she’s not even registering everything that is happening to her.

“Im sorry.” My head snaps up to look at hers when I hear her talk. She is looking directly at me and the sight alone takes my breath away. Her bright green eyes are laced with tears, her cheeks are swollen and red from how much she’s cried, her lips the same and yet, she’s so goddam beautiful that it’s painful.

“Sorry for what, darling?” She looks at me like I have two heads and I have to hold back a laugh at how dam cute she is. “For everything. For all the baggage I have. I don’t know what I was thinking. I should never have come here and put all of this on you. I just… once I got away… all l could think about was getting to this pack, to my mate but I was being selfish. I wasn’t thinking about the problems that I would bring with me, I was just thinking about myself.”

Fuck this girl, she’s been here mere hours and yet, she’s already got me in the palm of her hand, already seeping into my heart. Her words make me angry not because of what troubles she has brought here butthe fact that she thinks that she’s a burden. Still, I keep that anger locked inside, she doesn’t need to hear or see that right now.

“Well, darling. I for one am glad that you came here.” The look on her face tells me that she doesn’t believe me but that’s ok because she will. I take her face in the palm of my hands and make sure she looking at me before I speak because I want her to see that I mean everything that I’m about to say.

“I want you to listen to me and listen well, ok?” She nods never taking her eyes off mine and I love that. “I am glad that you came here. After I lost Opal, I didn’t think I’d get the chance to experience what having a mate truly was. Never get to feel the love that comes with it and thên you came along and blew everything I thought I knew to pieces.

And the fact that your Opal’s baby sister doesn’t go unnoticed. I may have only known her for a few hours but I quickly learned that she had the biggest heart and I believe that she sent you to me. She sent you to me so that I can protect you and more than anything love you.”

I’m stripped off and standing under the boiling water within minutes and while it does help loosen some of my tense muscles, it doesn’thelp enough to calm me, but then I smell the one scent that is a surefire way of calming me down, my mate. I look to my left just in time to watch my mate walk into the shower completely snark naked, just how Hike her. Then I notice that she staring at my chest and l guess that she feeling shy about being so bold.

I hock my finger under her chin and as I guessed her cheeks are pink.

How can she feel so shy about something that makes me instantly hard? “You ok, sweetheart?” She nods smiling and I feel it in my gut. “i wanted to make sure that you were ok… I wanted to… I don’t know why.

…” Her babbling is cute but there’s no way in hell that I’m letting her think that she’s done the wrong thing.

I grab her hips and turn her around while walking her backwards until her back is against the tiles. “I’m better now that you are here. Don’t ever doubt that I want to see you naked. I always want to see you naked around me. If I had my way I’d burn all your clothes but then I’d have to kill my pack members and I’m pretty sure that’s frond upon.”

Her laugh makes me feel light and without any more words, I lean in and kiss her with all I have. “I know that you came in here to check on me and maybe hoped that you could help me relax well, you were right too. You naked in here with me is the perfect way to help me relax and I’m more than happy to take you up on your offer.”

“What offer?” Oh, the innocence. Instead of telling her I decide to show her and waste no time in taking her up against the shower wall before carrying her into the bedroom and worshipping every inch of her beautiful body. Fuck, will I ever get my fill of her?
