though right?" I asked her, wanting her to know how special she was to me. Luckily she nodded with a smile in return, her face flushed with the cold and I soon found myself pulling off my scarf to wrap it around her neck to give her some more warmth since it wasn't like I needed it myself."Thank you, I didn't realize how cold it was" she smiled as I tucked the end of the scarf in her coat before doing it back up, giving her a wink before looking at her with concern.  "You want to go back inside?" I asked, not being able to help myself as I did so."Can we go a little further first?" she asked hopefully causing me to nod. Like I could say no to her when she seemed to be getting so much joy out of it.For another hour we walked around the woods hand in hand, her form pressed closely against mine to absorb some of my body heat as I asked her question after question much to my amusement. I couldn't help it, I wanted to know everything about her. In turn she asked me some as well, hugging me when I told her about my parents and kissing away the hurt that had risen inside of me while I was telling her my story. She was amazing.Heading back I told her that everyone should have a birthday, a day to celebrate and that she wasn't any different. In the end we decided that her special day should be the day that I found her; she happily agreed."So, did you sleep well sweetheart?" I asked her, wanting to keep the conversation flowing as we made our way back towards the packhouse when I took note that we had been out for hours. I knew that the later we were out the heavier the snow got and I didn't want Holly to be caught in the dreadful weather. She may have been getting some more meat on her bones but I wasn't going to push her body to the limit when I knew it wouldn't be able to cope with the strain of it."Yep, I like your bed" she smiled as she continued to take in her surroundings with bright eyes. I couldn't help but tease her after her confession; I was still a bloke after all."I'm hurt, you like my bed more than me?" I teased causing her to flush, her eyes getting a slightly glazed—over look making me grin at the fact that she was most likely remembering this morning. I couldn't help but feel my own arousal stirring as my own thoughts were drawn to the exact same thing; her lips were so soft….  Chapter 50

Hearing my mate giggle snapped me out of my lustful thoughts, my brows pulling together into a frown when I took note that her hand was no longer in mine as she seemed to have trailed away from me slightly much to my displeasure."What's so funny?" I asked with a smile, swallowing my dislike for her wandering off as my tone took on a teasing quality to it as I hurriedly walked over towards her."Just this guy I like" she smiled causing me to grin widely as I wrapped my arms around her waist."Really now, and should I be tracking down this guy to tell him to scare him away from my girl?" I teased causing her to giggle. I found I loved the sound; it was more than a little adorable to me."I don't think you would get very far, he is very protective" she smiled and I found I loved this playful side of her."Really now? So I have some competition do I?" I grinned, knowing that if there ever was another male who was after her I would have him in pain before he knew what had hit him. My wolf would accept nothing else, and to be honest neither would I."No, I like you best" she beamed as she pressed her back more firmly against me. I couldn't help but purr, the packhouse in view in front of us making me sweep her into my arms causing her to squeal and wrap her arms around my neck to keep herself balanced. I would never let her fall though, I wouldn't risk hurting her."Good to know" I winked as I jogged us towards the house, planning to get a hot chocolate in her and some good steaming food before she would start shaking. She seemed fine but I wasn't taking any chances. Kicking the door open, not wanting to let her go I reluctantly placed her on her feet as she made a move to undo the boots she was wearing. It didn't take us long to strip off our winter clothes as the house remained nice and toasty for her benefit. None of the pack minded the extra heat; I mean one look at Holly shaking was all it took for them to make sure it was on constantly when she was home."That you, Adrian?" I heard Paul shout from the living room, my eyes rolling as I helped Holly out of her scarf and coat while answering him at the same time."Of course" was my reply as I hung up her things, feeling her hand move towards mine making me smile as I entwined our fingers together and tugged her along. Walking into the living room I was instantly drawn to the comfortable love seat in the corner as I pulled Holly along with me. Taking a seat I let her choose if she wanted to sit on my lap or the sofa and unfortunately it was the latter, but my mood quickly changed when she curled up against me and I sipped my arm around her. I sighed, now this was the life I had always craved for."Nice walk?" Laura asked without taking her eyes off whatever she seemed to be struggling to be doing with a shirt of hers, Laura being a confident but quiet member of our pack."Yep," Holly answered with a bright smile, clearly oblivious to the fact that her mood was incredibly contagious as everyone seemed to be smiling in her direction or just in general."That's good, bloody hell—" Laura swore before the brief scent of blood hit us, her mate instantly appearing in the living room with a panicked look on his face before sighing in relief when he saw she was fine."Don't scare me like that" he scolded as he walked towards her, seeing her smile brightly at him as his body relaxed. Before I met Holly I thought it was an overreaction when the males acted like they did when it came to their mates, but now I knew better. Hell, if I was being honest with myself I knew I was a hell of a lot more protective over Holly than most males were over their mates and I wondered if it was due to me being an alpha or the fact that it was about her upbringing. Either way I knew that it was never going to change, and for some reason I couldn't bring it in myself to care either way."Sorry, I just can't get the hang of this" she gritted out frustrated, both me and Holly seemingly leaning forward to try and cure our curiosity only to see that she was trying to sew up a top of hers. It would have been an understatement to say that she wasn't having any luck in doing just that."Would you like me to have a go?" my generous mate asked nervously, Laura looking up with a hopeful expression on her face before nodding eagerly."If you wouldn't mind, do you know how to sew?" she asked as she held out her shirt and the sewing box, my body tensing slightly at the thought of her getting even the slightest pinprick on her skin but I passed them along to her without complaint."Yep" was my mates only reply as she seemed to look over the tear in the shirt before getting to work, her body still curled against me making me purr in delight as I kept her eye on her before asking Paul whether he had got the finance sheets I had asked him for a few hours back.

 

 

chapter 51

 

"Yea I went to the main office as soon as you left, if there's something off about these then it isn't just a paper error" he stated as he got up to get them for me, my nod telling him that I knew it wasn't his fault if something was wrong again. It was roughly a half hour later that Holly had finally finished, it had taken longer than expected but by looking at it I couldn't even see where she had fixed it she was that good. It was clear that it was yet another talent of hers and I had a feeling that if she had wanted to she could have had it finished a hell of a lot quicker but she had wanted to do a good job."Here" she smiled as she handed it back to Laura who had a megawatt smile on her face as her eyes assessed my mate’s work, her mate smiling at Holly thankfully as Laura seemed to restrain herself from giving her a hug. I didn't know if Holly was quite there yet, I mean she was still tense when I wasn't around with the pack so hugs from them were pushing it I thought."Thanks so much" Laura gushed before showing everyone around her, Holly blushing brightly before burying her head in my chest making me chuckle. I couldn't help but press my lips against the crown of her head as I thought about how much my life had changed since I had met her. I found I couldn't help but be more than a little excited about the future.***   Adrian's Pov I  groaned as I twitched my nose in annoyance, wondering what on earth had my nose tickling like it was but not wanting to open my eyes to find out. I had gotten to sleep late last night since Holly had wanted to watch this film which had been on a later show on the TV, I had told her we could just get it on DVD but she had hushed me while muttering something akin to the fact it was a waste of money. I would have rolled my eyes
