Chapter 6

AMELIA

After I unpacked, I joined Alec and Sophia downstairs to say goodbye to David before he leaves. Sophia told me that Alec planned a romantic dinner for them, so I decide to go back to my room.

As I climb the stairs, I see the library’s door and I decide to take a closer look at the books they have here. Well, we can say that the collection is impressive. There is everything, novels, books on History, botany and so on. I feel like I’m going to spend a lot of time here.

Suddenly, I hear the door open and I see Alpha Noah enter. He wears jeans, a black t-shirt and black shoes. He is as beautiful as a god even if he has the face of someone would not have slept for a long time.

“I was looking for you. I didn’t see you in the dining room so I decided to find you to see if everything was alright. As you were not in your room I checked in the library. And here you are.” He says with a shy smile.

I check the time on my phone. Eight p.m. Shit I haven’t seen the time spent.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t see the time.” I answer honestly.

“Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter. You’re here at home. Feel free to come and go wherever you want.”

“Thank you Alpha. For everything.” Saying these words to him, I look at him straight in his eyes. I fell a heat invade my whole body. He approaches me and for a moment his eyes went from blue to black but it didn’t scare me. Not at all. He approaches his hand carefully and delicately touches my cheek. I feel sparks where his hand touches my skin.

“You can just call me Noah; you don’t need to call me Alpha.” He says softly.

His voice sounds so sexy to my ears. I bite my lower lip and Noah slowly approaches his face to mine and without warning his lips crush against mine. The kiss is soft but it quickly becomes passionate. I put myself tiptoe and grab his hair and pull it lightly. One of his hands cups my cheek and the other moves behind my head and the kiss continues to intensify with our tongue fighting for dominance. I’m taking a step back to be able to breathe.

Noah seems slightly destabilised and scratches the back of his head.

“I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to.”

“Don’t be sorry. I liked it, it was just sudden.” I interrupt him with a shy smile.

He smiles back at me “You didn’t have dinner yet. We should get some food. Do you like pizza?”

“Yes.”

“I have an idea. Behind the pack’s house there is a weeping willow. Meet me there in about thirty minutes, okay?”

I nod. He starts walking towards the door but suddenly turns around. He comes back to me and kisses me chastely and leaves the room.

What the hell has just happened? That was the best kiss of my entire life. My first day is not even over and I have already broken my number one rule. Is it a date? Do I need to change? Oh my God, I don’t know what to do and Sophia isn’t even here to help me.

Back in my room, I pace; I’m not going to change. Obviously we are going to eat out and a pizza. How could I feel so comfortable with him to the point of kissing him and now feel so nervous to find myself alone with him.

This man is disturbing me in a way nobody ever did and we met only a week ago, how is it possible? I check the time on my phone there are 10 minutes left and I see a text from my mom.

Mom: Hey sweetheart. I just wanted to know how your day was.

Me: It was good. Their pack’s house is bigger than the Night Pack’s. I’m going to have dinner. I will call you tomorrow morning. X

Mom: I can’t wait for you tell me about it. Eat well. Talk to you tomorrow. Love you

Me: Love you too.

I put back my phone in my pocket and I start to make my way out.

I go outside and I start to walk behind the pack’s house and I see the weeping willow. Noah is underneath, he has installed a blanket, cushions and I see small lights that illuminate him a little. Wow it’s really romantic. So it is indeed a date. I’m in deep shit. This is the most caring thing someone ever did for me. I have already had dates but it was rather classic: restaurant, movies and when the boy realised that I wouldn’t go any further for the moment he just stopped talking to me. Honestly, I don’t understand why the Alpha of the Blue Moon Pack would do that for me. Except if... No it can’t be possible. Amelia get this idea out of your head.

“Hey, you’re just on time. Sorry, it’s simple, but that’s all I’ve been able to do in such a short time.”

“Don’t apologise. It’s perfect. Believe me.” I say touching his forearm.

I feel new sparks in contact with him. He looks at me intensely and I think he feels them too. He grabs my waist and gently draws me against him. Our bodies touch each other and I would bet to feel its growing erection. I put myself on tiptoe, take his face in my hands and kiss him. I open my mouth to let his tongue enter and this time I let him dominate. His hands go up along my ribs. As I grab his hair from the back of his head and pull it, he moans.

And this time he is the one who is taking a step backwards. Maybe I misinterpreted his attitude.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know what took me. Believe me, I don’t behave like that normally.” I tell him quickly.

He gently caresses my cheek and answers: “Please don’t apologise. I seem not to be able to control myself in your presence. I suggest that we sit down, eat and get to know each other. If it suits you.”

I nod. We sit and start to eat. He asks me questions about my parents, so explain him that I have been raised by my mom and that I have never met my dad. He seems to be really sorry for me when he hears about that. He talks to about his childhood, how he was raised to become an alpha from an early age and that his dad left him his place when he turned 18 and his parents left to travel the world. Listening to him, I realise that he is quite lonely and that Alec is the closest to a family for him. So when he met Sophia I can imagine how he felt.

“For how long have you been an alpha?” I ask him

“Seven years. And it’s long time for an alpha to spend seven years without a Luna.” He rubs the back of his head and avoids my gaze. Before adding “I have to tell you about something.” He pauses. “Do you know how the mate bond works? How our species meet our mates?”

Is this seriously happening? I nod carefully. “I have heard Luna Victoria explain it to Sophia when we were children. She told us how she felt when she first met Alpha David.”

“Amelia, what I have to tell you is that since the first time I saw you at the restaurant, I keep thinking about you. When I touch you, I feel sparks travelling through my body and I’m thinking you felt it too.”

“But…” I start.

He interrupts me. “I also didn’t think that it could happen between a human and a werewolf, but I inquired. It’s rare but it has already happened. Amelia you are my mate.”

I look at him confused. Oh my God, I can’t believe that it’s happening.

“I know that is a lot of information for you. So, I will let you think about it. You don’t have to say anything now.”

I nod. I am absolutely speechless. I don’t know what to say. I wasn’t expecting this. He accompanies me to my room and informs me that his room is just next to mine and that I can come over whenever I want if I have question or need anything. I envy them for it and now that it’s happening to me I’m more confused than ever.
