My Savior Alpha - Jessie Marie (adult books to read txt) 📗

after all; hell I wanted to know everything about her."What about this?" I asked her as I held up a red dress which matched the color of my shirt.The dress I had to admit made her look adorable, especially since it flared out heavily at the waist making her look incredibly cute. The bottom of the dress had a black border around it and the waist was also decorated with delicate black flowers which wrapped the whole way round. It suited her personality perfectly."OK" she said softly, reaching forward to grab it before still standing in front of me.With a grin on my lips I grabbed a black cardigan for her before gesturing to where her undergarments were, knowing that if I picked them out as well I would have trouble not jumping her right there and then. I may have excellent control, but there was only so much I could take before I snapped.With that Holly grabbed her clothes before slipping into the bathroom, the shower turning on a few moments later giving me the chance to quickly shrug on my clothes before grabbing my phone and slipping it into my pocket. It reminded me that I needed to get Holly one; I didn't like the idea of not being able to contact her. With that on the forefront of my mind I heard a knock at the door, already knowing it was Lilly and Jenny who were most likely here to help get Holly ready.

 

 

Chapter 61

 "You look nice, the both of you" I told them honestly when I opened my bedroom door, seeing Lily in a soft blue dress while Jenny was in a red pants suit which I had to admit she pulled off amazingly. Still, they paled in comparison when it came to my own mate."Thank you, Adrian" they both said in unison, leaning around me as they tried to see where Holly was."She's in the bathroom" I told them, seeing them nod before they looked slightly nervous. "What?""Are you sure she won't mind, I mean I don't want to offend her by making her think there's something wrong with the way she looks" Lily whispered, and for the first time I found myself panicking concerning this night. Shit, I hadn't even thought about that.Truthfully I saw nothing wrong with the way she looked, she was the most beautiful thing in the world to me and yet here I was trying to change that. I was just thankful Lily had pointed it out, maybe it would be best to wait until my mate asked to do such girly things.With that both Lily and Jenny left with bright smiles and I turned around only for my breath to catch in my throat when I caught sight of my nervous mate, right there and then I realized that she didn't need to make—up or her hair done up in a special way to have my heart thumping and my wolf purring in both delight and want.She was perfect.She had tied her hair into two low ponytails which brushed against the swell of her breasts slightly, only adding to how cute she looked. Because she was, she was absolutely adorable."You look beautiful" I told her sincerely, licking my lips as I took in her appearance making her blush."Thank you"Smiling, she quickly hurried over to me, smiling wide as she seemed to bounce on my feet with her excitement. I couldn't help but soak it up, loving the feel of her emotions which only made me look forward to after we had mated as I would be able to feel them so much stronger."Come one" I told her, throwing an arm around her shoulders after I checked her bandages. At least she wasn't bleeding anymore I thought, trying to calm my wolf from the sight of his injured mate.Heading downstairs we were greeted with the rest of the pack sloughing around the house, Jake not being present making it clear that he had gone to pick up his mate from her home.Walking into the kitchen we were instantly greeted by Lily and Jenny who rushed to compliment Holly on her dress much to the shock on my mate who was looking more than a little startled. She continued to surprise me how innocent she was, especially since she came from such an abusive pack."Drink, Adrian? Holly?" Paul asked, causing me to shrug."Sure, Holly?" I asked, looking down at my mate who nodded eagerly.It wasn't long until everyone was slouched in the kitchen, me being thankful that it was actually big enough to contain us all. Roughly an hour had passed when I picked up the sound of Jake’s truck pulling onto the gravel at the front of the house, his excitement practically rolling off him in waves."Are you sure this is a good idea, Jake?" I heard Annie ask Jack, clearly nervous. I mean who wouldn't be, she was walking into a mansion—like house which was home to not only a vast amount of females but nearly each and every male looked as if they stepped out of a model catalog. Yea, gotta love those wolf genes."They'll love you, Annie. They’re like family, you'll get on like a house of fire" he encouraged her, all of us hearing the door open as he gestured for her to step inside.Her heartbeat filled the room heavily as it thumped rapidly, Holly squirming in my lap as she made a sound of nervousness before saying she needed to use the bathroom. I reluctantly let her go before getting up to follow her, not having realized until now that she may not be confident with meeting new people.Why hadn't I thought of that until now? What was wrong with me? As I went after my mate, bypassing both Jake and Annie who looked startled to see me hurrying by I made a mental note to apologize when I saw them next, however right now I knew my mate needed me and she would always be my first priority.I found her huddled in the corner of my room, her form shaking and I was instantly on my knees as I wrapped my arms around her. Neither of us saying anything as I held her tight, soothing her with my presence alone as I purred for my mate.When her answering purr hit my ears I couldn't help but pull back to grin down at her widely, seeing her staring at me with adoration and I couldn't resist pulling her into a kiss as I pressed myself further against her.We stared there silently, me having pulled her almost instantly in my lap as I rubbed her arms soothingly and breathed in her scent."Want to talk about it?" I asked her, nuzzling her neck when I felt her tense slightly."I'm sorry""You need to stop apologising, Holly. I know you've had a tough upbringing, I should have known this may be hard for you—" I started but she cut me off, shaking her head as she gazed into my eyes with her own golden amber ones."It's not that" she told me, making me raise a brow in question."What's wrong then?"

Chapter 62

 

"Urm…I just had a flashback I guess" she mumbled as if she would be able to get away without me hearing it. Fair to say, she didn't."About what?" I asked curiously, knowing the best way to get her to open up to me was not to push her. She seemed to close up even more if I pushed which of course was the last thing I wanted for us."Do you really want to hear about this now?" she asked softly, obviously hinting at Annie being introduced to the packed downstairs. So far from what I could gather, she was both extremely shy in addition to being nervous, but so far I didn't scent any fear coming off her which was a plus."Yes" I told her, knowing that if she didn't get it off her chest now and confide in me she probably never would. I didn't want to push her, but I wanted, no needed to know."I was just thinking about my old pack, how different you are to them" she sighed. Clearly thinking about her past hurt her, but I knew it would be better for the both of us in the long run if she got out these memories now better than later. Not to mention my wolf was practically climbing my inner walls with need, wanting to know as much about her as possible."What were they like?" I asked her gently, pulling her so her back was against my chest as I leaned my chin on the top of her head. I couldn't help but sigh in relief, god she felt so good to me."What, my old pack?" "Yeah" I told her, pressing my lips against her temple as she seemed to take a few moments to compose herself."Can you ask me questions? I mean I don't know where to start…" she trailed off nervously, playing with her hands on her lap as I gave her a small nod before thinking it over. Hell, I wanted to know everything about her, but where should I start? "What pack was it?" I asked, wanting the lot of them slaughtered for treating my mate with such disrespect. At this she smiled teasingly, it shocking me slightly to see such a sensual expression on her usually innocent face. "I'm not telling"  "Why?" I growled out, not wanting to know why she didn't want to see them dead after everything they had subjected her to. As if she read my thoughts she smiled softly, caressing my cheek in an intimate gesture that had me grinning. "Karma, they'll get what they deserve" she smiled. "Anything else you want to know?" "Of course" I told her, "how about your parents?" I asked, seeing her frown but she seemed to be fin speaking about it, even if she was speaking in monotone."They weren't nice people; I mean they were all about status and for whatever reason I just didn't seem to make the cut. They adored my brother and his friends, I suppose they both got along with the rest of the pack members as well but they always held the fact they had birthed the alpha over everyone's head, making them constantly aware that they were higher up the pecking order."Since I was a child they had always been violent, nothing changed there. I mean I ran away with the intention to die
