My Alpha Mate

Chapter 3: Take a Hint

We held eye contact for a bit to long before I moved my gaze down to the table. "Its lovely to meet you both, my aunt will be joining us for dinner if you don't mind" he spoke smoothly. " Oh of course not" my mother smiled sitting down, I moved to sit next to her before Nathan cleared his throat, "you're welcome to sit next to me" he smirked. Before I could protest my mother gave me a stern look not understanding my situation. "I'd love to" I bit out moving around the table pausing as he pulled out the chair for me. He looked handsome, his brown hair was slightly messy but the nice dark blue suit he wore was clean cut. I looked up at him slightly seeing the half foot he towered over me with.

"Sorry I'm late, I had to finish the bachelor" a cheery women spoke walking in as I sat down Nathan pushing my chair in. "You're fine aunty they just walked in, this is Margret and Skylar Pierce" he introduced my name rolling off his tongue. Nathan's aunt quickly dove into a conversation with my mom giving Nathan time to whisper in my ear. "You haven't told your mother have you?" he questioned making me shrug. "There is nothing to tell" I insisted making his jaw clench.

"Nothing changes now that you know I'm an Alpha?" he pushed making my head shake. "No things have changed, I'm even more turned off now, possessive annoys me" I shot back making him growl lowly. "So are you guys ready to eat because I'm starving" his aunt asked gesturing to the old man who walked out of the room presumably to grab the food.

It was barley seconds later before multiple servers walked out carrying trays of food setting them around the table. We all began to eat my mom talking of our old pack not mentioning why we left. "We lived up in Seattle with the Red Moon pack and its just been Sky and me for a while. The move is hard but something you have to do even if you don't want to" she spoke making me nod softly. Conversation moved onto the interesting parts of this pack Nathan's aunt talking excitedly and assuring us that we would love it here.

As we finished up dinner Nathan loudly asked to show me around the pack house knowing i couldn't say no with my mother here. We made our way down the hall barely out of sight before he pinned me against the wall. "Why are you playing so hard to get?' he demanded his lips only centimeters from mine. "Why can't you take a hint? I don't want you deal with it" I shot back making him growl. "Do you have something in your throat because all of your growling is starting to get annoying" I asked sarcasm lacing my words.

"Well your attitude is getting quite annoying as well so if you stop I will" he shot back making me shrug, "touché". "If you wouldn't mind letting me go I'm getting extremely uncomfortable" I asked making him smirk. "Sure, if you agree to have breakfast with me tomorrow" he countered making my eye brows raise.

"You're going to keep me here forever until I agree to breakfast?" I asked making a cheesy smirk cross his face, "I'm very committed". I stared back at him for a moment before nodding slowly unable to hold back the rush of happiness as he brightly at me. "Perfect I will pick you up at 8 and by the way your favorite part of the house was the breakfast nook" he spoke confusion crossing my face at the last part as we led me back down the hall.

"Oh, you're back what did you love the most Skylar" his aunt asked making me glance over towards Nathan before replying, "the little breakfast nook was lovely' I replied making her smile brightly. "Well we better be going, the moving truck should be here any moment, thank you both again for having us and welcoming us into your pack" my mother smiled shaking both of their hands before heading towards the door. Nathan's aunt pulled me into a hug before making her way out leaving Nathan and I alone once again. "I'll see you in the morning love" he spoke lowly pulling me into a hug and letting his lips ghost across my cheek. "Don't push it" I warned pulling away and following my mom out the door.

My alarm blared the next morning making me groan loudly, my mother and I unpacked the boxes all night which I'm starting to regret agreeing to now. I flipped through my closest staring at my clothes, it was getting cold here already in late August so I decided to wear a dark green sweater and some light washed jeans. I had just finished getting ready and slipping on my boots when the doorbell rang from down stairs.

Hurrying down so my mom wouldn't grab it I swung the door open revealing a dashing looking Nathan. "You know this is the second day of school you're making me miss" I commented closing the door behind me. "Good morning to you too" he replied making me scoff as we walked towards a beautiful black jeep. "Yeah, yeah where are you taking me I'm starving" receiving a small scoff as he opened the door for me. "It's a surprise" he answered shutting the door before I could protest, I hate surprises.
