Too Beautiful for the Alpha novel Chapter 37

The sun's rays warm me, my skin illuminating with life. The golden glow brings a heavenly filter to the forest around us, like walls protecting our castle. This is our land, the True Alpha's. In the middle of the calm meadow is my home, James' home, our families home. In the trees is an army of men. His men. Guards that protect us from the jealous and the evil.

In the morning I wake up and quietly tiptoe downstairs, meeting Gail in the kitchen. She hands me a cup of coffee and we sit together outside on the porch. I took her with James and me to the new house. She's family to us. I wish Theresa was here too, but she's passed away, she's in the Goddesses hands now.

"I can already feel him," I murmur, lifting the mug to my lips, warmed even more by the coffee, feeling as if true happiness is an external and internal warmth that makes one comfortable where ever they are.

"Should we get the children?"

I shake my head. "I'll let him wake them."

The pack is close by, a few minutes walk. We offered the pack house to Will, but he insisted we let Theodore and his mate have it. Our children like to play with his—a set of twin boys who look exactly like him. Theodore loves his family with all his heart, I see it when he looks at them. It makes me proud to be his friend.

"There he is. I'll get breakfast started for the little ones," Gail says, heading inside.

My eyes are entranced by the sight of my mate. He walks with two guards, talking, glancing up to me, shooing them. I make my way down the porch steps, meeting him halfway. An animated smile stretches over my face as he wraps his arms around me. His scent engulfs me. "This one was too long," I mutter, my face pressed into his shoulder.

He pulls back, looking down at me. "I know. There were land issues between the York pack and Kenn pack that I had to settle. Both were very adamant about not giving in."

I nod, running my hands down his arms, simply happy that he is here now.
