curling in delight. If that was how much pleasure I managed to feel from simply kissing my mate, then when I did finally claim her I knew it was going to be utterly explosive.Letting a smile cross my features I played with a strand of her dark hair as I rolled it between my fingertips, my attention solely on her as her bright amber eyes were captured on the screen of my widescreen TV. My room may be pretty simplistic when compared to the other pack members, but it did have a few high—tech items that helped me relax when I needed to chill out.I let my mind draw back to what I had discussed with Paul about the pack in trouble, my brows pulling together into a frown as I leaned further back against the pillow to get comfortable. I still hadn't decided on what I was going to do about that situation, Paul had the task to get me the pack’s paperwork so I can look over just how bad they have it.I knew I wouldn't feel right just saying no if it was in really bad shape, I mean there were children in that pack and I wasn't that heartless. If I was being honest with myself the only reason I wasn't more involved already was because of Holly, not that it was her fault but I didn't want to stress her out when she had finally seemed to get comfortable being in the packhouse.Not wanting to dwell on it right now I glanced over towards the clock, taking note that it was nearly lunch time. We had missed breakfast, something I regretted when I took in Holly's still fragile state but we had just gotten carried away that it had simply slipped my mind."You hungry, baby?" I asked her, blinking in her direction as she briefly glanced up at me before returning her eyes to the film."I'm fine" she mumbled, a frown forming on my features at her reply."Will you please eat something, for me?" I asked her, brushing a few strands from her face so I could see her features clearly.At this Holly seemed to daze off slightly before nodding, a small pout on her features making my lips pull together into a straight line. It wasn't until I realized that she didn't want to miss any of the film that I couldn't help but smile, leaning over to grab the remote to pause it making her sigh in relief."I take it you like" I grinned as I slipped out of bed, again not bothering with a shirt as I grabbed her hands and gently tugged her onto her feet as well. The house was nice and toasty for her benefit but I still grabbed a small dressing gown I had gotten her and slipped it over her small form, seeing her smile as I held it while she stuck her arms through it."Thank you" she smiled as I tied it around her waist."You are very much welcome, now about the film" I replied with a wink, wrapped an arm around her waist as we headed downstairs with the rest of the pack. Some, well most, were still half asleep but there were a few others scattered around the rooms as they talked quietly among themselves."I like it so far" Holly grinned, looking up at me with bright eyes that made the wolf in me purr with delight."Good to know, I have plenty of others" I told her causing her to brighten up more so if that was possible.Leading her into the kitchen I took note that it was empty, the pack members that were still in the house either in the living room or games room instead. I was thankful for the privacy, loving the sole time that I could share with my perfect mate."What do you fancy?" I asked her as I gestured for her to take a seat, surprised slightly with her reply."Can I cook, it's just I kind of miss it?" Holly asked sheepishly causing me to nod; she was an incredible cook after all. Jake was still utterly grateful for when she had helped him break the ice with his mate with the whole cake sale thing, the cakes apparently having sold instantly once the positive comments started."Sure, I'll help" I told her causing her to beam.Pushing up onto her tip toes she briefly pressed her lips against mine, my hands instantly wrapping around her waist to pull her closer as I deepened it before reluctantly letting her go."Anything you want in particular?" she asked causing me to shrug as I leaned against the counter, watching her poke around the cupboards with a thoughtful expression."I don't mind" I shrugged; "If there's enough we might as well cook enough for the pack" I told her causing her to nod. She didn't seem to have a problem with cooking for a large group of people so I didn't feel bad about asking.

 

 

Chapter 56

"Urm…spaghetti bolognaise? Lasagne? Pizzaghetti?" she listed things off on the top of her head as she continued to look through the cupboards, her last suggestion having me intrigued."What on earth is pizzaghetti?" I asked, never having heard of it before but curious none—the—less."It's like a mixture of pasta and pizza toppings" she explained causing my mouth to water, god that didn't sound half bad."Sounds good" I hinted causing her to giggle, the sound making my body warm in pleasure at making my mate happy."Pizzaghetti it is then" she smiled before getting out the things that she needed. I watched her curiously, wondering what she would use as she took out the ingredients and placed them on the granite counter top. She took out pasta, a jar of sauce I remembered her making a few days back, sliced pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, spicy chicken and whole tomatoes."So" I started, "what can I do?""Urm…grate the cheese or dice the tomatoes" she shrugged making me pleased that she was letting me do the cutting, not wanting to risk her hurting her delicate fingers. Call me overprotective but I think I had a right to be, what with how I had found her and all."Sure" was all I said as I got cutting, my eyes glancing at her ever so often to take in what she was doing.I watched as she added a pinch of salt to the boiling water before tipping in the pasta, another saucepan having the jar of sauce already simmering as she stirred it with a wooden spoon before grabbing a large tray that was definitely big enough for the entire pack. Thank god we had big ovens.Finishing with the grating I went on with dicing the tomatoes, watching her as she added the peeled and chopped red fruit into the sauce before mixing it in."What now?" I asked her curiously as I washed my hands, reaching out for the tray when she seemed to struggle with it."Thanks" she smiled relieved. I watched as she drained the pasta before pouring it into the tray, adding the simmering sauce before mixing it in and evening it out. The cheese was next, the grated mozzarella being layered on the top before it was decorated with the slices of pepperoni and spicy chicken. I had to admit, it smelt and looked incredible."Done" she smiled as she wrapped tin foil over the top, gesturing for me to put it in the oven before she set the timer for 20 minutes on a low heat as not to burn the cheese."Where did you learn to make that?" I asked her curiously as we washed up, me washing while Holly dried."Experimenting with recipes" she shrugged, "I've only tried small bits though since I wasn't allowed full meals" she continued causing my hands to shake with the effort it was taking me to reign in my anger. How could she speak about this so casually?"I wish you would tell me who they were" I gritted out through my teeth; they deserved to suffer for what they had done."Violence isn't always the answer" was all she said in reply."No, but it helps you feel better" I muttered, rolling my eyes when only a few minutes later the pack members filed into the kitchen as soon as the delicious scent of my mate’s cooking hit their senses."God, what smells so bloody good?" Ryan asked as he walked in with his own mate, Jenny.   "You cooked enough for us right?" Paul asked as he followed in behind with Lily holding his hand."Unfortunately" I teased in a gruff tone before thrusting a pile of plates and cutlery at them. "Here, make yourselves useful"It didn't take long for the rest of the pack to squeeze in around the table, Holly sorting out drinks while I grabbed the hot tray from the oven since I didn't want Holly to risk burning herself on it. I healed quicker, not to mention the thought of her in pain was just unacceptable. Placing it on the metal grate that sat in the centre of the table it didn't take long for everyone to help themselves, Holly flushing delicately with the compliments that seemed to make her incredibly flustered and embarrassed. I had to admit, it did taste incredibly good but her flushed cheeks smelt even better. After lunch was finished I hurriedly followed Holly up the stairs, my excited mate bouncing up the steps in front of me as she was clearly eager to finish watching the rest of her film. I laughed at her eagerness, watching the firm rump of her behind as she took each step one at a time."The films not going anywhere, Holly" I chuckled, watching as she quickly untied the rope around her waist making me stutter. My eyes raked over her form as the material slipped to the floor, her excited bouncing making the curves of her chest move in a delicious way that had me growling in utter desire."Adrian?" Holly's concerned voice hit me, my head snapping in her direction as I felt my nostrils flare as I was hit with the soft scent of her arousal. I  growled, not being able to help myself as I strode confidently towards her form, watching as she backed her little body up against my wall without taking her bright eyes off my almost rapid approach.  I could practically taste how nervous she was as I stopped in front of her, my hands pressing either side of her head against the wall as I stared down at her with matching amber eyes only this time I knew it was my wolf coming to the surface, the alpha."Adrian?"Her voice shook as she pressed herself as far back as she possibly could, my wolf snarling inside of me when even through her nerves it was clear that she was still aroused by my actions and presence. It wasn't a surprise; a female's inner wolf instantly grew lustful when the male of the mated couple grew dominant and possessive."Adrian?" she tried again, but my mind was hazy with the desire I felt for her as I lowered my head to capture her slightly parted lips with my own, forcing my tongue into her mouth before she knew what was happening."So,
