Becoming the Alpha

Episode 8- Awake

Episode 8- Awake

I awoke to a dim glimmer of light shining in to my eyes. I squinted to further to look around the room. It took me a moment to realize where I was. It all still seemed unreal. It seemed like an insane but wonderful fantasy. I snuggled in to my pillow smelling the sweet scent of Luca. It had really happened, every delicious minute. My body was sore and a little achy but still fully satisfied. I could still feel the tingling of Luca’s kiss on my thighs.

Luca walked out of the bathroom in a sleepy, half awake daze. His eyes met mine and he leaned down, smiled and gently kissed my forehead.

“Good morning, beautiful.” His voice sounded so loving and kind. 

“Mmmmm, good morning, handsome. What time is it?” I muttered with a grin. 

Luca answered, “it’s just past 4:30.” 

I groaned and pulled the pillow over my head. “Ughhh, why are you up so early? And just where are you going?” 

Luca chucked and replied, “I have training at 5. I have to go meet the warriors and the pack trainer. You know we can’t miss training sessions… even if we did stay up all night with our gorgeous mate.” He looked over and gave me a wink and his perfect teeth showed through his smile. He was so damn charming. 

“Will you come back after or do you have other plans?” I asked sweetly.

Luca laughed, “Sounds like you will miss me just a little, huh?”

“I may, I may not. May the odds be ever in your favor.” I announced cooly. 

Luca let out a chuckle and said, “oh, you do miss me. I know it. I will tell you a secret though,” Luca whispered and leaned in to my ears. “I will miss you even more.” He then gave me another kiss of the forehead and walked towards the door. “I will be back around 9. Get some more sleep and I will wake you when I come in. Then I am yours for the rest of the day, beautiful Sweet dreams.” Luca winked again and shut the door behind him.

The truth was, I would miss him. It was crazy to think a day ago, I had an entire life without this man and now, he was all I could think of. He became everything so quickly. I could literally feel my body aching for him when he left. The energy when we touched or kissed was an unexplainable rarity that I couldn’t put in to words. It was just pure love, lust and attraction. I never thought someone leaving for a few hours could make you physically ache. I rolled over and tried to fall back asleep. Normally, I would love some extra sleep. Today, I was wide awake. I kept running the memories from the night before through my head like some erotic movie reel. I closed my eyes just to visualize Luca’s face; his hands, his body, his perfect, supple lips. I became turned on all over again. I could feel his spot in his bed.. No wait, OUR bed. It was cold. It literally felt like someone ripped a piece of my soul from me. 

They say a bond with your mate is unlike anything and I see now that it is true.
