My Sealed Mate

Chapter 8

*Nadia’s POV*

“Stupid mate bond.” I grumbled as I turned to my side.

I have been trying to sleep for hours, but after that stupid kiss it has become impossible. That and his scent that I so happen to miss. Like I just met the guy and I’m already losing sleep over him. Ugh! This is stupid.

I grumbled for a little longer as I pushed Ambar as far in my mind as possible. She was no help either. I mean, all she wanted was for me to look for Caleb to continue where we left off.

After another half an hour of exploring my bed angrily as I sought sleep, I decided I needed to get up. I knew I would regret this decision, but I couldn’t think of any other way.

‘Okay, you are going in there quietly, grabbing a shirt, and leaving. Grab a shirt and leave. Grab it and leave.’ I kept telling myself as I grabbed the robe that Kim had brought me.

She brought me some of her clothes, including the robe and pajamas. I had stripped from my pajamas because I thought that was what was preventing me from sleeping. That and I prefer sleeping naked.

I wrapped the robe around my waist before taking a deep breath. I knew that he was on the next floor because Kim had given me the tour. I mean, she didn’t take me inside but she just told me where it was.

I tiptoed towards the elevators, taking a deep breath as soon as they closed. You never know who would wake up by the sound, since werewolves had one hell of a hearing.

Before I knew it, the elevator sounded as the doors opened. My heart was beating out of control as my body followed his scent.

“It would be so funny if his door was locked.” Ambar snickered, making me growl impatiently. I thought I had gotten rid of her.

“He is an alpha. Doesn’t it have to remain open in case of an emergency?” I asked her sarcastically. I mean it did, didn’t it?

“Or he could be getting comforted because you keep refusing him.” She said, making me gasp.

“You can be a real asš sometimes.” I muttered as I pushed her to the back of my mind while I reached a handle.

I barely noticed where I was going. I just followed his scent all the way down to this room. By how far I walked, I could tell that he had quite a lot of space to himself.

As I pulled the door open quietly, I gasped when I realized that he was already at the door.

“Holy goddess!” I squeaked as my hand rushed to my pounding chest, making him chuckle.

“I’m sorry for scaring you, but I thought I was in danger.” He faked innocence as he grabbed me and pulled me further inside.

“Hey!” I yelled as I tried to pull my hand, but was unsuccessful.

“We both know why you are here.” He laughed as he pulled me with him into the bed.

“Wait! Wooo there, buddy. I don’t know what you—“ I was saying when he pulled my back to his front and snuggled closely to me.

His nose found my neck, making him sigh in relief.

“Cal—“ I was about to say again when I heard light snores coming from him.

“What in the actual hell just happened?” I muttered to myself as I tried to peel away, but his grip around my waist tightened, making it impossible to leave.

I sighed in annoyance. What is the worst that can happen? I can just wait a few minutes until he's completely out and I can sneak out. Or so I thought.

I tried every fifteen minutes but his hold only got stronger. I gave up after two hours, since my eyes had become so heavy that my vision was blurry.

When I finally gave in, I snuggled closer to him as I let darkness consume me.

*Caleb’s POV*

The light coming in through my floor-length windows woke me up, making me groan in annoyance. I hadn’t slept this good ever. I think I even missed my alarm. Wait! Light? I definitely missed my alarm.

My eyes flew open as I was about to jump out of the bed, but I felt warmth on my chest, making my brows furrow.

I looked down to find the blonde-haired beauty of my mate. Her head was on my chest, her hand flat on my stomach, as her hair lay wildly all over her face and my chest.

I watched her in awe. How could someone so beautiful and perfect exist? How did I get so lucky? How did I manage to get her in my bed? What happened last night?

I squeezed my eyes shut, instantly remembering how she paid me a visit. I smiled at that. That means she wants me, right?

I slowly moved my hand to her face, moving her hair away so I could see every perfection of her face.

Her eyebrows were not too thin, not too thick. Her hazel eyes were closed, but I had already memorized how large and beautiful they were. Her thick lips were slightly parted as she rested against my chest. She had a few freckles here and there, making her face look even more perfect and innocent.

My heart fluttered as I looked at the perfection that was on me.

“Can you not be a creep?” She mumbled as her eyes opened slowly.

I chuckled softly as my finger traced her skin, allowing us to enjoy the sparks. “It’s not creepy when you are my mate.” I smiled at her.

“It is if they are sleeping.” She answered with a shrug.

I wrapped my arm around her waist before pulling her completely on me, with our faces inches apart. She gulped as her big hazel eyes looked into my brown ones.

“It’s not my fault that my mate is so fūcking beautiful.” I smiled as I watched her cheeks change color. She looked down before gasping in panic.

She pulled on her robe quickly. When I looked down, I noticed that she was not wearing anything underneath the robe. Great! Now my morning wood is even more alert.

I noticed that my tight hold was not allowing her to cover up completely, so I reluctantly let go of her waist. She quickly covered up and sighed in relief.

“You know I have seen you before, right?” I asked her softly. I mean, I don't want her to be uncomfortable, but I also don’t want her to ever be shy around me. I would never do anything to her unless she asked me to.

“Yeah, I know.” She mumbled as she stood on her feet. “But we were in bed. Together. And that makes it different.” She said, looking away.

I sighed at her answer. Touché.
