The Alpha's Young Mate novel Chapter 11

Clayton's POV

When we are finally back at Blake's pack I parked the car and got out before opening the back seat door. I look at Rose to see she is still sound asleep. I smile, she's not mad at me anymore — just the thought of her not being mad at me anymore makes my wolf jump with glee.

I get Rose out of her booster seat and carry her into the house all the way to her and Damon's room. Damon opened the door as soon as he smelt us and I walk in their room, setting Rose down in a bed.

She looks so peaceful and safe when she is asleep; it puts me at ease. I tuck her in and just sit there staring at her until Damon clears his throat.

I kiss Rose's head and turn to Damon.

"Alpha Clayton, I feel bad about the fight. I don't like the thought of her mate being 15 years older than her, but today I seen that you would do anything for Rosalind."

I pat his shoulder and he nods slightly. I take one last look at my lovely mate as she sleeps before walking out and across to my room.

Once I lay down in bed I realize I would do anything for Rosalind; if she wanted to dance I would let her wreck the furniture, If she wanted to cook I would let her burn the house down, If she wanted to scream I would let her deafen me, I never loved anyone as much as I love her.48

And with that I started to fall asleep knowing my mate is safe and sleeping just across the hall.

I wake to a strange feeling. I jump out of bed and go across the hall to Damon and Rose's room. I knock a couple of times before I just let myself in. I look around to see no one in there. I quickly turn and head out the door, following Rose's scent.

I go down stairs and finally find her eating breakfast at a table with Damon, Zoey, Blake, and a little boy around the age of one.

They look to me, "Clayton, join us for waffles and bacon." Blake says smiling at me. I still have a weird feeling as I look over at Rose and see her staring at Blake.

I sit down between Rose and Zoey.

"Clayton, this is my son Kaden."

I look over at the young boy and smile, I can't wait till Rose is old enough for us to have our own pups.

"He looks a lot like you," I laugh looking at Blake, he chuckles and we all eat while I can't shake the weird feeling away.

After we eat Damon, Rose, and I all go back to Damon's room.

"Daddy, I don't wike it here. Those men give me a scared feeling." Rose whines running over to me and jumping in my arms.

Is it possible that I was feeling my mates feelings? It can't be, I haven't marked her yet so we can't feel what the other feels, not yet.

"Darling, they're not going to hurt you." Damon says smiling at her.

She jumps back out of my arms and goes to get dressed for the birthday party and I leave to my room to get dressed. Once I'm dressed decent I meet Damon and Rose in the hall. She's wearing the dress I bought her yesterday, she's so adorable in it.

We then go downstairs for the birthday party. I'm not big on the whole party thing anymore — I find it stupid.

Rose is currently playing with some other kids her age while Damon is talking to Blake, and me? I just stand awkwardly watching everyone enjoy themselves. Can't believe I used to be a huge partier.

Zoey walks over to me and smiles a weird smile, "Alpha Clayton, it looks to me that you're not having any fun."

"Yea. Parties just aren't my thing."

"Blake told me stories of how you and him were the biggest party freaks, always causing trouble and breaking hearts."

I chuckle at the memories of Blake and I at Alpha Training. It was the best years of my life; that is until I found Rosalind.

"Well I changed." I tell her with a forced smile.
