After adjusting my pillow I laid down and snuggled up to Andie. Noticing that she doesn't get stiff or nervous anymore when I hold her close.
She just lays her head on my chest draping her arm across my stomach and kinda melts into me while we watch whatever movie she has selected.
But tonight I was the one that was a little on edge after the conversation I had with my dad. Perhaps he's right maybe I should at least ask Andie what day of the mouth her heat cycle starts. So that we're not caught off guard and wind up in some unbearable situation with her naked on top of me.
But this really isn't a conversation that I want to have and I was nervously playing with her fingers trying to figure out how to ask without making her uncomfortable.
When she looked up and ask me. " Zack, are you okay?" In the sweetest soft voice I've ever heard.
" Yeah, sweetheart I'm fine. But there's something that I need to know but I'm not really sure how to ask." I said honestly bringing her hand up to kiss her delicate fingers.
Which made her laugh. " What makes you think I would know the answer if you don't?"
she asked,turning slightly to face me.
" Wel..well, sweetheart." I fucking stuttered finally just blurting out." I want to know what day your heat cycle starts."
Just to see her beautiful face pinch up in confusion as she stared at me for a moment then ask " Why?"
I fucking groaned to myself scrambling for the right words as I wonder how the fuck I was going to say that I wanted to make sure she didn't crawl on top of me naked.
Finally just saying. " I was just thinking that it might be better if we take some precautions on that night because if I remember correctly from biology class. Your wolf will seek her mate and the relief that I can provide for you at the moment. " only to see her stare at me blankly like she didn't understand a word I said.
Which is impossible for me to believe. My girl may be innocent but she's a fucking genius with more medical knowledge than I'll ever have.
So after a few minutes of silence I reached out through the bond to see what information I could gather through her emotions. Finding her head spinning with worry and confusion.
"Sweetheart, say something." I prompted, pulling her into my chest and stroking my fingers through her hair gently.
" What precautions?" She ask nervously pushing against my chest to raise her head.
But I didn't let go, I couldn't not with her little heart pounding like it was. I just continued to run my fingers through her long silky hair keeping my voice calm. "Like maybe I should sleep in my room that night and not in here with you. Because as much as I want to protect you. It's also instinct for me to want to be with you. I'm already trying my best to wait for you to feel the bond before we do anything." I explained felling her relax in my arms.
Then she started to laugh, not a little chuckle but really laugh and I had to ask. "What's so funny?"
" You" she snorted," No, no,not you, but what you just said and how you said it." She said, slapping me lightly on the chest and laughing harder.
Confusing the fuck out of me." What's so funny about what I said?" I ask, totally lost about what she thought was so funny about it.
But she laughed snorted again. " You made it sound like I'm some kind of sexy bombshell that's irresistible and it's taking everything in you not to ravish my body." She laughed and shook her head.
Making me wonder if she truly didn't understand how much she affected me and how totally fucking awesome she is.
It made my wolf growl and with out thinking my hands wrapped around those silky strands of hair and I titled her head back so that I could look at her beautiful face.
I wanted her full attention. " What makes you think you're not?" I ask,and bit the inside of my cheek to keep from kissing her senseless to prove my point.
She fucking laughed again "Obviously it's because I don't have any sexy curves." She stated, glancing down at the two little egg size bumps on her chest.
I raised a challenging brow," Oh is that so?" I ask, sliding my hand down her back and cupped her perfect little ass giving it a squeeze. " Then what do you call this?"
Andie gasped, " Zack" and squirmed in my arms a hint of her arousal hit me hard.
But I didn't release her, fuck that. I wanted her to understand exactly how perfect she is and how desirable she is to me.
So I trailed my hand up her side and rested it gently on top of her little tit over her shirt. Ignoring the way her mouth hung open and the way she gaped at me. ." And these,"I whispered, glancing down at my hand." May not every get any bigger, but that doesn't matter to me.They have nothing to do with what makes you sexy to me." I murmured ,
bringing my hands up to cup the sides of her beautiful flushed face and gazed into thoes big blue eyes as I tried to convey everything I felt through what I was saying . "You're beautiful,
sweetheart, your lips, your eyes, their absolutely gorgeous. But that's not the reason I find it so hard to resist claiming what belongs to me. What I find so irresistible is your mind you're the most intelligent person I've ever met. And that makes it hard for me to remember that I need to hold myself back and give you time to catch up." After pouring my heart out I closed my eyes and leaned forward to kiss her forehead.
But before my lips landed on her beautiful face she suddenly snatched my hand off her cheek and started checking my pulse. Startled I opened my eyes blinking a couple of times to clear the confusion and had to ask." Babe , what are you doing?"
" You can't tell?"She ask, studying my face like a science project.
" Well obviously you're taking my pulse, but what for?"I ask,totally confused about why the fuck she suddenly felt compelled to do it.
"That's not what I mean" she said, leaning over me close enough that her carotid artery was so dangerously close to my mouth. That it made Apollo growl 'mine, mark mine' in my fucking head. I pushed his possessive ass back but Andie leaned even closer brushing her neck against my lips.
Then she said "take a deep breath."What the fuck! Is she trying to do get marked or fucking give me a heart attack. I wondered, grabbing her shoulders I tried to push her back but Apollo growled 'mine ' and my fangs started elongating on their own.
Then suddenly an Alpha command boomed in my head. 'STOP , she's not ready yet.' Making me freeze and Apollo whimper like a scolded pup and drop his head.
Panicked and stunned that Apollo submitted I shouted 'Who are you' Quickly double checking the mind link to make sure I had it closed off. But then it was back with a fucking attitude'Roxanne control yourself pup.'
" Roxanne" I repeated out loud swinging my head around to check out my surroundings just to see Andie narrow her eyes.
" Roxy" get out of Zack's head she dammed."I told you not to do that anymore."
I froze,as reality hit me, that was Andie's wolf. 'Ho..How. did your wolf get in my head. That's not possible sweetheart not even with the mind link." I managed to stutter out scrambling my brain for an explanation that might make sense just to come up blank.
Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Not only was Andie's wolf in my head but she issued an Alpha command that made Apollo submit. I shook my head no," Not possible" I mumbled not even realizing that Andie was staring at me like I lost my mind .
Andie sighed " I'm sorry, Zack what did she say?"
" She... she..fuck" I groaned,"She issued an Alpha command."I said ,unwilling to admit that my wolf submitted to her command.
" Why?" She murmured, pinching her cute little brows together. Clearly not aware of what almost happened.
"It's nothing for you to worry about, sweetheart my wolf just got a little to excited when you leaned across me.And your wolf was just reminding him that you're not ready to be marked yet." I said nonchalantly, not wanting to make her feel uneasy .
Which didn't work out how I thought it would instead of relaxing she gasped and stuck her wrist underneath my nose. " Do you smell me?" She ask worriedly
I kissed the inside of her wrist and simply replied "Of course I smell you, sweetheart you're my mate."
" No my pheromones." She corrected, "Dad ask me to check just to make sure the dosage was high enough because this is the first time they have ever been tested on mates.He said your pure Alpha bloodline shouldn't be a factor since Peyton's never detected anything."
Andie uttered, catching my attention with only part of what she was saying.
"No, sweetheart you just smell like my mate." I said absentmindedly fiddling with the button on her back pocket as my mind spun into a totally different direction.
Making me so curious that I had to ask "Sweetheart can your dad's wolf get into some else's head like yours?"
" Sure, can't yours?" She responded without missing a beat.
" No, sweetheart my wolf can't. I need a pack link to get in someone's head and my wolf can't get into anyone's head except mine even through a pack link. I believe the reason your wolf can is because it's part of what the council calls your Alpha abilities. That's abilities that has been passed down through your Alpha bloodline from your lycan ancestors. But what I really want to know is can your wolf get into the head of a wild wolf?" I ask a bit to excitedly considering the look on my girls face.
Who at the moment looked at me like I've lost my marbles. But answered me anyway " I don't know. But I can ask her." Andie said, hesitantly.
Then looked down silently speaking to her wolf as I anxiously waited to hear what she said.
Which didn't take long for Andie to raise her head back up to face me." My wolf is kinda grumpy and said she doesn't like talking to thoes barbaric creatures."
" Doesn't," I repeated " Not can't?" Confirming my suspicion of how the rumors started about the Hunt Alpha abilities.
Now to get to the bottom of this submitting bullshit 'Apollo' I called
' Leave me alone I'm sleeping ' he fucking whined
' Oh hell no, what's with this bullshit of you submitting to Andie's wolf? You have the support and strength of the largest Pack in North America and rollover for a teenager's wolf. What the fuck is that about?' I growled
'What did you want me to do mark the girl? And piss my beautiful Roxy off. Tell smart ass? ' He growled back leaving me speechless because I couldn't argue with his reason.
'Just go back to sleep.' I growled
'Hum, though so' He huffed retreating into the back of my mind.
