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

 “Do you want something to eat?” I asked her as I paid for her things, most of them consisting of dressing since her small and thin frame meant jeans were impossible. I didn’t mind, actually preferring her in soft and flowing fabrics since she seems happiest when trying them on. “I’m fine” was her reply causing me to frown before I directed her to a food court, getting her to save us a table before heading over to the counter and getting us some food.  She may have said she wasn’t hungry but I want her to eat something at least, ordering  an extra— large fries with the hopes that she with tuck into them as well.

We were back at the packhouse not long after, Holly’s light breathing  filling the car since she had dozed off as soon as I had pulled the car into gear. I couldn’t help but keep sneaking  glances at her, hoping that  someday she would realize just how much she meant to me.

“Mm   Adrian?” she mumbled sleepily as I helped her out, the rest of the pack’ s cars In the driveway meaning that they were all home since they have obviously  finish school. I  hadn’t realize how late it had gotten, no wonder  there Holly could barely keep her eyes open. “Yes, sweetheart?“ I asked her as I gently held onto her hip to make sure she had Her balance. When I was sure her legs weren’t going to collapse under her I cautiously let her go to grab the bags, locking  up when I had them firmly in my hands. “You don’t need to do this” she said softly as she gestured to her new clothes, and nervous and embarrassed expression on her features as she did so.  I could tell of the pack was listening , they weren’t exactly being subtle considering they all had their faces pressed against the window in a way that would have been amusing  if it wasn’t for the fact they were being incredibly nosy. “I know, but I wanted to” I replied as I headed  towards the house, hearing her as she plodded along behind me. "Why?" she asked causing me to look around to stare at my beauty as she tip—toed through the thick snow. I was suddenly glad that she had boots on, they may not have suited her outfit but as long as they served their purpose to keep her warm then they would be fine."Look sweetheart, you're mine and it's my job to look after you ok?" I said softly, stopping to cup her cool cheek in my hand before rushing her inside to get her warm. God, never would I have pegged myself for being so protective or possessive but it was like my wolf couldn't bear for even a paper cut to grace her soft skin."But—""No but's, it's always going to be that way sweetheart so you had better get used to it" I grinned at her causing her to smile after a few seconds. Entering the packhouse we were instantly greeted with the pack, bright smiles on each of their faces except for Jake who was looking incredibly nervous for some reason."You alright, Jake?" I asked as I put the shopping bags by the stairs, Holly still by my side as her hand reached for mine. I smiled, lacing our fingers together as I looked towards my normally tough packmate. I had never seen him so nervous before, his mood instantly having my attention as well as the fact that he seemed to be looking towards my oblivious mate with an even more hopeful expression."Urm—" he started nervously before Lily cut him off with a roll of her eyes."Just ask her Jake, I mean it's not exactly difficult" she sighed out causing Jake to glare but not comment, quickly diverting his gaze as he looked anywhere but at us. I couldn't help but feel curious."Who are you talking about?" I asked with a raised brow as I leaned against the wall, Holly simply staring off into space like she usually did. I couldn't help but shake my head amused, pressing a long kiss to her cheek causing a smile to tug at her lips as she squeezed my hand with hers."Jake wants to know if Holly could do him a favour" Lilly continued, and though Jake glared it was clear he was relieved that he wasn't the one who had to explain it."What kind of favour?" I asked, Holly perking up when she heard her name mentioned as she gazed at Jake with a curious expression, her head tilted to the side slightly as if she could see through to his soul. I had to admit, it was slightly off—putting."Urm…" he stuttered again, flushing slightly much to my amusement. At this Lily sighed before filling me in on the situation, it stunning me but I couldn't have been happier for him."Jake found his mate today, a human girl, she's sweet. Anyway wanting to be close to her he offered to help out with a bake sale she's organising, only he can't cook" Lily stated causing the packmates who didn't know to whoop at another packmate being mated. It didn't matter that it was with a human, most packs would have minded but we were more of a family so it wasn't like we judged. If Jake was happy with it, like we could clearly see he was, then there wasn't a problem in the slightest.

"Well, that was clever" Ryan stated with a snigger, getting a slap on the arm from his mate who clearly found the whole thing romantic."So you want Holly to what, cook?" I asked curiously, seeing him nod. I was about to speak when Holly's soft voice filtered into the air."I would love to" she smiled at him, instantly putting a relieved and thankful smile on Jake’s lips as he grinned broadly at her."Thanks, Holly" he beamed causing her to giggle, the sound making me purr as I shot her a wink when she looked my way."When?" she asked only for Jake to suddenly look uneasy with her question."Urm…tomorrow?" he confessed, his answer making it sound more like a question."Ok, I'll start now if you like" my angel smiled, clearly not minding at how short notice it was. With a quick grin he headed quickly towards the kitchen, Holly looking towards me with a slightly hesitant look before I gave her an encouraging nod and she slowly followed after him."She's getting better" Paul muttered as he headed towards me, obviously referring to the fact that my timid mate was already seemingly getting on with the pack better. With that I nodded, giving him a quick grin before heading upstairs to make room to put my mate's new clothes.It was about an hour later that I headed into the kitchen, while my wolf wanted nothing more than to constantly be by her side I had to admit I was curious to how well she would get on when she wasn't in my presence. I was presently surprised that as long as she wasn't crowded with the pack she seemed to be at more ease, my hearing picking up on her talking softly with Jake as she glided around the kitchen as if she was made for it."Thanks for doing this, Holly" Jake thanked her, the gratitude in his voice enough to make me shake my head amused."Its fine, I'm happy to help out" ah, there was my mate. It was strange how just hearing her voice made me want to appear by her side, already missing her even though it had been only an hour at the most. "So what's she like?"****"Her name is Annie, she's a year younger than me so she's about your age. She's really sweet, she—" he started to ramble off excitedly causing my mate to giggle. Taking that as my cue to enter I walked into the kitchen, my eyes widening when I took note of how much my mate had managed to cook."Bloody hell" I couldn't help but swear under my breath as I took note of the delicious aroma in the kitchen, the table actually covered in different types of desert treats which meant my mate must be one hell of a good cook when it came to cooking more than one thing at the same time."Hey"I grinned at the sound of my mates' voice, quickly walking over towards her as I wrapped my arms around my flour—covered mate and pressed my lips against her cheek."It looks like you've been busy" I grinned, looking over her shoulder to see her adding a number of strawberries around the edge of a cake which smelt of cinnamon. Damn, my mate could really cook when she put her mind to it, not to mention it looked incredibly professional."I got carried away I guess" she mumbled embarrassed as she added the final touches to the cake, adding three strawberries in the centre before adding this strange chocolate homemade swirl in the middle. I had to admit, I was having trouble not devouring it myself."They look great" I commented as looked towards Jake who was nodding eagerly, obviously pleased that he would be able to impress my mate."You really are a life savour, Holly" Jake admitted, his tone thick with gratefulness."I don't mind, it's been a while since I could do my own thing" she smiled making me instantly curious, there was still so much I didn't know of my mate."What do you mean?" I asked, helping her move the cake onto the table when she seemed to struggle and getting a kiss on the cheek making it worth the effort."Normally I was just ordered to make something" she shrugged, my hands going to the edge of the table to calm my anger while Jake looked horrified. I forgot he like the pack weren't filled in with what sort of life Holly had come from, but I wasn't going to tell them until she was ready. So with that on my mind I subtly shook my head at him, silently warning him not to comment.Taking a seat at the table I found I couldn't tear my eyes away from my mate as she seemed to continue pulling things out of the oven every time a timer went off, it was impressive to say the least since everything seemed to be different but smell just as good. Literally, my mouth was drooling when she got to the double chocolate cupcakes which seemed to draw most of the pack into the kitchen only for them to freeze when they saw the delectable sight in front of them."Holy cow"Believe it or not but it was Paul who made
