My Savior Alpha by Jessie Marie (big ebook reader TXT) 📕

let her lead the kiss, her actions nervous and timid as she gently applied more pressure as she tilted her head to the side slightly causing our noses to brush. I knew from how hesitant and apprehensive she was that she was completely new to this, the thought of how pure and innocent she was making me glow with pride and possessiveness. I would be the only one to touch her like this, to bring her this much pleasure and so much more.The kiss didn't last long before she pulled apart leaving me instantly craving more, my eyes slowly opening just in time to catch her staring at my lips while she chewed at her own. She looked more than a little flustered. I grinned, knowing that I was the reason why she was in such a state.It had been a simple kiss but it had meant so much more, it meant that not only did she accept me but it was obvious that my mate liked me in a manner that wasn't just friends. I knew she wasn't ready to love me yet, what with her past and all, but I knew that it was a start and that was what I was concentrating on."Hungry?" I grinned, not even bothering to hide how happy and delighted I was as her flush deepened. She nodded hesitantly; obviously trying to hide how much the kiss had affected her.Quickly finishing putting together a meal I placed the plate in front of her as I took to my previous seat next to her, pleased when she seemed less hesitant to start eating even if she continued to pick at it as if she was afraid I would suddenly take it away and deny her. I frowned at the thought, though quickly pushed it away when I saw her look in my direction."So how do you like the pack, sweetheart?" I asked her, wanting to hear her voice as she seemed a lot less nervous around me than she had when I had first started to speak to her. She was still edgy around the pack, but after knowing about her past it wasn't like I expected anything else from her or blamed her for acting how she did."Their nice" she confessed almost surprisingly, clearly not having expected them to be so different from her own pack."They like you" I couldn't help but tell her, seeing her look away shyly as she concentrated on her food as it sat only slightly touched in front of her. "So what do you want to do today?" I asked when it was silent for a few minutes; clearly she didn't know how to answer my statement about them liking her."I don't mind" was her reply causing me to pull my brows together as I thought about how we could spend the day. I had caught up with my paperwork so I didn't need to worry about that, we had the whole day to ourselves and I wanted to make the most of it."How about we go get you some clothes?" I asked, most girls liked shopping right?At my suggestion she seemed to get uncomfortable, instantly having me wondering whether it was anything I had said to have her mood change so quickly. Hearing her mumble something under her breath I couldn't help but ask her to repeat it, it being so quiet that not even I could pick up on it and I had the enhanced and sensitive hearing of an alpha male werewolf."I don't have any money" she muttered, clearly embarrassed making me sigh out in relief that it wasn't anything more serious."Well I do, however much I like you in my clothes don't you want any of your own?" I asked her, wanting her to know what money was no problem. Unlike most packs we didn't spend it stupidly, I didn't allow them to. We had cars, yes, but they weren't anything severely expensive like most packs had since I thought it was a complete waste of money. I also wanted her to know that money wasn't an option when it came to her; I was her mate and her provider so money was the last thing she should be worrying about."It's yours" she said softly, looking at me with those gorgeous amber eyes of hers as she was clearly talking about money again. I stifled the urge to roll my eyes, she needed to learn that it was my job and duty to look after her and that was never going to change."Actually technically it's the packs, and since your my mate it's yours as well" I stated as I grabbed our finished plates and dropped them in the sink, they could wait till later. Turning around I couldn't help by grin amused when I saw her expression, eyes wide with disbelief and mouth agape in a manner that made me instantly think back to our kiss. I couldn't wait until I could make love to her, she was my mate and I would spoil her rotten as she deserved.

 "Adrian…" she started in a soft tone but I cut her off, walking towards her only to help her out of her chair. I loved that she was comfortable enough around me that I didn't have to be as cautious all the time when touching and approaching her, I knew not to push my luck but it was a start."It's just how it is sweetheart, better get used to it" I winked as I tugged her upstairs and into Lily's room, I knew that she wouldn't mind Holly borrowing some clothes to just go shopping in. While I did like Holly wearing my clothes, surrounded by my scent I knew that she couldn't go shopping in them. She would be freezing, even if I was constantly by her side like I planned to be."What are we doing in here?" I heard Holly asked curiously as I looked through a set of draws, pulling out a loose pair of Lily's trousers, a set of underwear and a shirt. It was then I froze though, lustful images filling my mind when I realized that my mate was utterly bare under my clothes. Fuck, I really needed to change my train of thoughts before I scared her off I thought with a rough shake of my head."Getting you some clothes" I replied as I gently pressed them into her arms before steering her into my room and towards the bathroom."Are you sure she won't mind?" my selfless mate asked causing me to both sigh and smile at the same time, she was just too cute."Of course she won't sweetheart, you can have a shower if you like" I grinned as I gently guided her into the bathroom, reaching to turn the shower on since her eyes seemed to light up with the prospect of cleaning up.  "Thank you" she said softly, leaning upon her tiptoes before pressing her lips to my cheek. I couldn't help but grin, giving her a wink that had her blushing before leaving her to get ready.I quickly took the time to get dressed, slipping on a simple pair of black jeans, a shirt and a leather jacket before searching for my wallet. Thankfully my memory kicked in leading me to head towards the kitchen, remembering that I had left it on the counter last night for some reason or another.Hearing the water cut off I quickly dashed back upstairs, heading into my room only for my breath to catch in my throat when she walked out once she had finished. She had brushed her hair and had it over her right shoulder, Lily's clothes seeming massive on her while Lily was considered an average size and she was far from a large girl. I fought the urge to frown though, but her freshly washed face and small smile made it a whole lot less difficult as I walked to take her into my arms, loving that I could."Feel better?" I couldn't help but ask, seeing her nod before I grabbed her some shoes and tugged her outside towards my car.Quickly locking up the back house it wasn't long until we were on our way to a shop of some kind, it suddenly occurring to me that I didn't have a clue on what I was doing. I was internally hoping that Holly would know what she liked and wanted, though I knew deep down that it was going to be a lot more difficult than I expected it to be.I was correct of course, Holly looking utterly lost as soon as we walked into the first clothes store we approached. It was then I had wished I had Lilly or another female of the pack with me, perhaps Ryan's mate since that girl was one hell of a shopper. Clearly sensing how lost we were approached by a female assistant, her tone almost eager to help out and for once I was grateful for how nosy they were."Welcome, how may I help you today?" she smiled softly as a greeting, not knowing how much panic she had just saved the both of us. I quickly explained our situation and soon she disappeared to grab a number of items, beaming when I had told her that money was no object when Holly seemed to be in one of her moods where she was in her own little world.It wasn't long until she appeared back with an arm full of clothes, my eyes widening when I saw she had two other young girls with her as well as Holly's eyes widened and her grip on my hand tightened to an almost painful level at the sight of them all approaching at once."You'll be fine" I whispered to her as she went into the changing room, it was not taking long until she came out and I felt the air leave my lungs in one go at the sight in front of me. She was wearing a deep yellow summer dress that had white lace trimming, it suited her soft and innocent features perfectly and I instantly looked towards the sales assistant."Definitely" I nodded as soon as I managed to find my breath, the woman smiling gleefully and I had an idea it was due to the fact she would be getting a large paycheck considering she was on commission. The more clothes she sold the higher her bonus was, so it was clear she was more than a little happy that she had approached us in the store now. We were there about an hour or two before it was clear that my mate had had enough, her face a picture of discomfort."You want to go?" I asked her, getting an instant nod in return as she hurriedly changed back into the clothes she had come in before quickly making her way to my side. I couldn't help but wrap an arm around her, wanting her close.
