Brix pov My body swayed forward when the car suddenly stopped. I woke up and my eyes immediately went to Arlo, who was driving. He looked at the deer-view mirror as if he was expecting my question. But he just shrugged his shoulders. I looked out the window then I connected a mind link with my men who were in the other car ahead of us. "What happened? I asked. Then the car in front of us started moving. "Nothing sir, it's just a goat. I gasped at what I heard. I wanted to complain that my sleep was disturbed but that's when I felt something heavy on my shoulders. I looked to my left and only then did I realize that the heavy object was my mate's head. She seems to be deep asleep and I have no intention of waking her up. I just let her in that position. I grabbed this as my chance to see some parts of her up close. She is very thin but she has pear skin. She had a pair of tiny hands resting on her thighs. I looked at my own hands, wondering how it would feel if I held her hands. "Erm!" It was Arlo. I looked up at him when he made that noise. "Maybe you forgot you have someone here with you. "Or should I have stopped the car so the two of you can have a lovely private time alone? He smirked jokingly as he looked at me in the rear-view mirror. "Shut up! wolf." I respond annoyingly. I'm just curious, is that bad? I have also been with girls before, but this is the first time I became interested in such small things. However, there's no need to rush. If I suddenly make a move she might be afraid of me and I don't want that to happen. If possible, I want her to feel safe when I'm with her. I let her rest until we got to my pack. I told Arlo not to make any noise when he got out of the car so my mate wouldn't wake up. And that's what happened. I myself got out of the car without making any noise. But the next thing I have to do is the most difficult. I needed to lift her without her waking up. I put my head back inside the car and bent down to pick her up. I'm already holding one of her arms and my other arm is behind her back, all I have to do is lift her out of the car. But... Out of the blue, her eyes suddenly widened. And so I. "W-what are you doing? She stammered as she tried to distance herself from me. I don't know where to get an answer. What did the hell she think I would do to her? "Luna, we've arrived. Arlo said who was standing behind my back. A grin of embarrassment appeared on my face as I pulled myself out of the car. My hands rested on both sides of my waist while looking at the mansion in front of us. "If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead then." I heard Arlo say before I felt his light pat on my shoulder. I don't know what it is for, but I feel annoyed because of that. Even my men who were riding in the other car left first and we were left behind. I looked at my mate who was sitting quietly inside the car. As before, I can see the anxiety in her appearance. "What are you doing? How long do you plan to sit there? I don't want to sound stubborn to her, but I'm a little embarrassed by what happened just now. And I'm not trained on how to hide this attitude. "Huh? A-alright. Then she apparently started to move and she was so slow that it was as if her knees had no strength. Right! She came from working non-stop, so her stomach is probably empty by now.l I stepped closer to her, then I took one of her hands and put it on my shoulder. I quickly placed my other arm behind her back and lifted her up. As before, she was surprised by what I did. But it would take us so long if I just watched her moving so slowly. I started to hear a loud and wild thud from her chest. Her arms are wrapped around my shoulders and neck. And she's staring at me. Every breath she takes hits my face and damnit, the feeling it gives me is crazy. I felt like a fire was suddenly lit up inside of me. "It's not the last time, so get used to it. "Huh?" she innocently responded. I don't think her head is that slow to understand what I said. I just endured whatever feeling that suddenly flared up inside me until we reached my room. Of course, this will also be her room from now on. I gently put her down on my wide bed with the sheets of mixed shades of gray and navy blue. "This will be your room from now on. -Just tell me if you want to change anything here. I said with my hand on my hips as my eyes scrolled through the room. "That door is the bathroom. I pointed to the door on my right side. Then I looked down at her. She immediately tried to avoid looking at me by bowing down. I sigh. It won't take long for her and she will definitely get used to it. "Freshen up and I'll prepare dinner. After saying that, I left the room. I live alone in this mansion. This pack consists of four villas. The first is for the omegas, the second is for the family of betas, the third is for the elders, where my mother and my grandfather, who used to be the alpha of the pack, are staying. And lastly, it is here at my place. I prefer to live alone because I don't want a lot of noise around. In the morning, my beta, Arlo, is often here, even my mother often goes here to take care of me, as if I was still a toddler. She cooked for me and also did my laundry. And since we returned to the pack late at night, I will be the one to cook dinner. Well that's what I thought, but my mother already did that for me. She left some food in the fridge that was ready to heat. All I have to do is heat up the food in the microwave. In less than fifteen minutes, the food was heated. After that, I transferred it to a decent plate, and I also prepared fresh orange juice for my mate. This is the first time we will eat together and I still don't know what her likes and dislikes are, but I hope she eats what I prepared. . It is a good thing that I will be serving her my mother's cooking and not mine. At least I am convinced that she will like this food. Everything is arranged on the table and I'm just waiting for her to come down the stairs from our room. I slightly lifted my arm and pulled the end of my black sleeves to see the time on my wrist watch. It's already 9:45 in the evening. "Why is she taking so long? I whispered while crossing my arms over my chest and leaning my waist on the kitchen counter. I hope not but she might fall asleep. I bit the bottom of my mouth thinking about it while looking at the food on the table. Heating these foods will be useless if she doesn't come down immediately. That's why I decided to take it upstairs. I put everything on the tray and brought it to our room. When I opened the door, I was immediately greeted by a very fragrant smell. My eyes immediately found her standing in front of the built-in dresser staring at her reflection in the body-size mirror. My timing seems wrong. She is currently getting dressed. She was very surprised when she turned around in my direction. I felt something stuck in my throat that I swallowed. She was wearing one of my white shirts that had become her dress. Her thighs were exposed and I suddenly felt ashamed of myself when I happened to wonder what she was wearing underneath. I immediately took my eyes off her and went to the table next to the sliding door on the veranda. She quickly sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the navy blue blanket that was there to cover her exposed thighs. But I just couldn't stop my eyes from looking for him. I see a mixture of shyness and nervousness in him now. I took a deep breath as I started walking towards the bathroom to get a dry towel. "We can't always be like this. I should be the one to take the first action. In my mind. I calmed myself down as I went back to the room and approached her, who was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed.
