Theo stood in the opening of the library and looked at his reflection in the antique mirror. His hair, a pale kind of dirty blonde, his eyes a deep hazel. His mate called him drop your panties kind of sexy. He chuckled just thinking about the first time she had told him that. He just stared and shook his head. He stood a good six inches above her five foot six frame. Right at the moment he wished he was with her in their rooms. She was close to her time in their pregnancy, and she was anxious with it.
He turned and looked at his new alpha bitch. She was nose deep in the pack books, learning their history and about werewolf life and traditions.
'She's such a small thing,' he thought.
'Small things have a way of making big explosions my love,' Theo heard his wife answer. 'Remember how you felt about me?'
That brought a smile to Theo lips. In the beginning he was terrified that he would hurt his lovely wife. But she quickly dispelled that fear and promptly reminded him that they were werewolves.
"You can go to her Theo," Lea said as she turned the page of the most interesting history she had ever read. Such dynamics, such traditions, it was no wonder they had never really been discovered outside of horror films. True the odd situations slipped here and there which started the lore and sparked books and films, but nothing other than rumors.
She looked up to see Theo still by the door.
"Theo," she said and shook her head as he just stared. "Really. I know you're worried. Just go. I can get back to our rooms now blindfolded." Just saying that made her smile. It's been two weeks since she moved past the second stage of her change and she had officially moved in with Royden.
"I'm here to watch over you my alpha," he said with a smirk.
"Theo," Lea said as she looked up at him sternly. "What did I say about that?"
"What? It is who you are, and will become soon enough. Besides, Royden isn't ready for you to be solo just yet."
"He should know by now that I'm stronger than I was."
'It's not that my love,' Royden piped in, 'I want you safe yes, but until our mating I would feel better if you had Theo or Kelly with you still.'
'Who invited you to the conversation?' Lea said to Royden. Then she mentally reached out and proceeded to teach him a lesson on distraction. She closed her eyes and wrapped her mind around him as though he were standing there with her. She teased his neck with her teeth and slid her hands down his back until she was gripping each of his delectable ass cheeks and pulled him in. She ground her pelvis against his hard shaft. Just as he groaned she let go and broke the contact.
'Hey!'
'That will teach you to pay attention to your work and not eavesdropping,' she said then opened her eyes to see Theo doing his best to keep his laughter in.
"What?" she asked starting to giggle a bit.
"I think you have just proven you are a perfect alpha mate. I've never seen a female take control like you just did."
Lea laughed wholeheartedly at that. She gathered her books and stood. "Come on, let's get me back to our rooms so you can get back to Kelly."
"Awe and it was just getting entertaining," Theo chuckled. He opened the door as she walked up to it. They walked out a smile still on their faces.
"Kelly seems to be coming along in her last trimester," Lea said. "I'm ashamed to have not noticed at first."
"You were in the beginning stages of the change. So much of your change was, I'm sure, overwhelming. Then add in finding out that you are mate to the alpha. Well that took up more of your mind. So it's understandable. Not to mention she didn't start showing until last week. Easy to miss it."
"Well I know now. Has anyone checked her yet?"
"What do you mean?"
"Has the pack doctor given her a check up yet? Seen how the pup or pups are doing in there?"
"She's refusing to go. She says that she feels fine."
Lea stopped dead cold. "No, that's not good enough." She turned on her heal and headed to Theo and Kelly's rooms.
"Wait Lea," Theo said as he adjusted to keep up with her. Who knew that she could move so fast?
Lea reached their room and without a thought to courtesy she barged in.
Kelly was stretched out on the couch. She leaned up when she saw Lea stride in.
"What's going on, what's wrong?" she asked.
Lea walked to her and helped her to sit up. "You are at the moment."
"What?"
"Why haven't you done your check up with the pack doctor?"
"I feel fine. I don't need to go see him."
"That's just bull shit," Lea said. Her agitation was palpable. "Look. This is your first pregnancy. You need to take every advantage of every ounce of protection for you and your pup. I won't allow you to do less." She turned to Theo. "And you should be making her do so. You're her mate, you should demand more of yourself in the protection of your family."
Kelly touched Lea's arm. Theo was just staring at her. "I'll go," she said as she reached up to wipe away the tears from Lea's eyes. "My alpha please don't cry. I'll go."
Lea stood abruptly, embarrassed. "I have to go. I shouldn't have come here like this."
She turned to leave and saw Royden in the doorway. She gasped. Color burned her cheeks and she just walked out.
Royden looked at Theo and Kelly. "Do as she asks. I'll take care of her." He turned and left behind Lea. He saw her waiting. He wrapped his arms around her waist and walked her back to their rooms. Once there he led her to the couch and just waited.
"You're too patient with me," Lea said with her head down.
Royden placed his fingers on her chin and lifted her face to look at him. "I will always be patient with you my love. It's more that I'm concerned as to why that angered you so much. And why you're so sad. I was hoping you would tell me when you were ready."
She stood and walked to the window. "You won't want me anymore if I tell you."
"That will never happen."
