Jamie's POV

I was laying in my bed and my door opened. I didn't look up because I could sense that my mate had just walked in. I felt a hand touch my arm and I shot off of my bed.

"Don't touch me." I whispered to him, holding my hand up.

"Jamie, I'm sorry. I have control issues, I know."

I looked away from him, crossing my arms. "I don't care."

"Yes, you do, baby. I can't change it. Trust me, if I could, I would."

I turned away from him, so I could stare out the window. He sighed and I heard him walking towards me. He set his hands on my waist, pulling his body flush against mine and I let him.

"You can protect me, Jamie, I know you can. But I don't like to seem weak around anyone."

"You won't seem weak if-"

"I will. Maybe I won't seem weak in front of other people, but I will to myself."

I looked down at the ground and he tightened his grip on my waist. I sighed. "I just want to be there for you."

"You are here for me." He whispered.

I turned around and wrapped my arms around my mate's body. He ran his hand up-and-down my back, kissing the side of my head.

"I just wanna protect you." I whispered to him.

"I know, baby, I know. I'm sorry that I can't let you do that."

I sighed and moved back over to stare out the window. "It's my friend. My friend hates you and you won't let me do a damn thing about it. It's not fair, Alex."

"Come sit down." He whispered to me.

I went over and sat next to him on the bed. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I set my head back against his bicep.

"I'm overreacting, baby. I'm sorry."

"No, I understand why you're upset. I love you, Jamie, and I wish I could give you what you want; the pride of protecting the one you love."

"If I can't get pride from protecting you, can I get pride from something else then?" I asked with a smirk, trying to make myself feel better.

"What might that be?"

"Pride from pleasuring you?" I whispered, nipping at his earlobe.

"I would love that, b-but your mom is supposed to be home soon, right?" He asked as I pushed his back onto the bed. I straddled his body and started to kiss his neck.

"She'll be here for two minutes to pick up her chef jacket for the dinner rush, then she'll leave."

"J-Jamie, we shouldn't-"

"We should and we're going to." I whispered and grinded against his hardening member.

He held his groan in by biting his lip. I smirked and leaned over, taking his bottom lip between my teeth so he couldn't hold his noises in now. I grinded against his body again and he moaned aloud.

I chuckled as I let go of his lip. He smiled up at me and pulled me down for a hot, passionate kiss. Through the kiss, he flipped us over, so he was on top of me. My hands immediately went to unbutton his shirt while his went to unbutton my pants. I ran my hands up his chest, letting my hands caress his neck when they slid up there.

I flipped us over again and he groaned as I landed on top of him. "I'm supposed to be pleasuring you."

He chuckled as I leaned down. I placed soft kisses on his chest and they trailed down to his stomach until my tongue ran along the edge of his pants.

"Fuck, baby." He whispered.

I unbuttoned his pants and pulled them down slightly, so I had access to his bulge through his briefs. I placed a hot, searing kiss on his hardened member. He moaned and bucked his hips up.

Alex groaned and moved his hands down to push his boxers down. I chuckled before taking him in my mouth. He sat up on his elbows, so he could see me kneeling on the floor in front of his body.

One of his hands dug in my hair and controlled the speed my mouth went. I reached up, taking his hand in mine. He moaned out when I deep throated him.

"Fuck." He hissed.

I let my tongue swirl around his tip as my hand roamed up his body to play with one of his nipples. The other hand was on the base of his member as my mouth worked faster on him.

I lifted myself off of him when I felt myself harden even more. He sighed a shaky breath as I stood up, taking all my clothes off and pulled all of his off too.

I climbed back on the bed and sat on his stomach. I reached around my body to grip his member in my hand and placing it at my entrance. I gasped, loudly, when I lowered myself on him.

"You okay?" He whispered up at me.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck." I hissed out. I squeezed my eyes shut, putting my head down so my chin was against my chest.

"You're okay, you're okay. I promise." He whispered, running his fingers up-and-down my upper arms.

It took a bit of time, but I finally got used to the feeling. I moved on his body and he gasped, not prepared for me to move. I placed my hands on his chest to steady myself and I was surprised when he intertwined out fingers together. He placed our hands next to either side of his head, so our faces where pretty close.

I leaned down to give him a rough kiss as I kept moving on top of his body. I moaned into his mouth when he bucked his hips, burrowing deeper into me.

I moved up, so he was almost completely out of me before slamming down on his body. I felt the tears start to come to my eyes when Alex's hand gripped my member in his rough hand. I whimpered at the immense pleasure with the bit of pain in my back.

"Oh, fuck." I whispered.

"Harder." Alex groaned out, squeezing his eyes shut.

I felt the tears fall down my face as I started to go faster and harder. Alex reached his hand up, wiping away my tears from the pleasure. He smirked up at me and pulled me down for another kiss.

He pulled away and stared at me with the smallest smile, which made me stop moving. He reaches up, moving my sweaty hair from my face. He pulls me down and gives me the softest kiss we've shared. His finger skimmed over the tip of my member and I gasped out, squeezing my eyes shut.

"Alex.." I moaned out and started to move on his member again.

I cried out when his member touched my sweet spot and set my head on his shoulder. He took over and started going at an even faster speed than I had been going. His eyes were closed in concentration and I could feel his stomach muscles constricting as he thrusted into me.

I feel the familiar feeling in my stomach, so I leaned down to be aligned with his neck. My canines elongated and I let them run along the skin on his neck.

"Jamie, do it." He whispered, slowing his thrusts down.

I bit into his neck, feeling the blood hit my tongue. Alex moaned out as he came inside of me as I exploded onto his chest. I licked at his neck to close the wound and it made his breaths harsher.

"That was amazing." He whispered.

He ran his hands along my face to clean the sweat and tears off of my skin. I gave me a soft smile as I lifted my sore body off of him. I collapsed by his side, panting. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"I love you." I told him.

"I love you too." He whispered.

I laid in his arms with my eyes closed. His hand was unconsciously running up my back. He moved us back on the bed, so we were against the pillows and the covers were over us.

All of a sudden, we heard a howl from outside and it sounded like a lot of wolves. Alex jumped up, pulling me with him. We quickly pulled clothes on and ran out of my house. Alex held my hand as we jogged to the courtyard, which was only about three houses.

"GAVIN!" I heard someone yell and I knew exactly who it was; Benji.

I ran as fast as I could until I saw my best friend laying on the ground. Blood was seeping out of his white shirt and I could see that it was claw marks. Benji stood by his side and he seemed to be in shock.

"What the hell happened?" Alex demanded, letting go of my hand.

"It was a stray rogue, sir." One of the wolves said.

I saw people running over as someone had a cloth pressed against his wound. Dr. Moore, Matthew, and Jack were all running over. I felt a hand touch my back and I couldn't look away from Gavin's body.

"Baby, Benji needs comfort." Alex whispered to me.

"O-o-okay." I whispered, walking over to my best friend. He had tears running down his face and he hadn't taken his eyes off of his mate. I could see blood on his hands, which meant he tried to help Gavin, but someone pushed him away.

I pulled him into my arms and he started sobbing into my chest. I stroked his hair and whispered soothing things into his ear to calm him down.

"He's going to be okay. I promise he's going to be okay. It didn't look that bad, Benji."

"He p-pushed me out of the way and s-shifted. No one came t-to help him." He whispered through his sobs.

"They're all going to pay for that. I promise you that, Benji. Come on, let's go to the pack hospital." I told him and wrapped my arm around his shoulder as I ushered him to the hospital.

I looked behind me and Alex, Jack, and Matthew were talking to a few pack members. I forced the tears down as I needed to help my best friend who was terrified of loving his best friend, his mate, his everything.

Once we got to the hospital, we were taken to a waiting room and we were told to wait for awhile. Alex, Jack, and Matthew walked into the room and Benji didn't even look up.

"Hey, Benji, how are you doing?" Matthew asked, kneeling in front of him.

"Is he okay?" Benji whispered, looking up at him with more tears in his eyes.

"I don't know."

"Then I don't know if I'm okay."

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at Alex. He took my hands and pulled me to the corner of the waiting room. He set his hands on my shoulders and forced me to look him in the eyes.

"How are you doing?" He whispered to me.

"He needs to be okay, Alex. He's my best friend and it'll kill Benji." I said, tears leaking from my eyes.

"I know." He whispered, pulling me into his arms. He held me as I sobbed into his chest.

I heard someone walk into the room and I turned around to see Dr. Moore. Alex wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed the top of my head.

"It's Benji, right?" Dr. Moore asked, looking at the man in question.

"Yes. Is he okay?"

"Yes, he's okay. We're fixing his stomach up now and you'll be able to see him in about an hour."

Benji sighed in relief and nodded. "How long do you think he'll need to be here?"

"Probably about a week. Can you come with me to sign some papers?" Dr. Moore asked and Benji followed him out of the room.

The alphas look over at me as my head was against Alex's chest and he was rocking me back-and-forth. Matthew smiled at us. "How about you? Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, I'm okay."

Alex kissed my forehead, then leaned over so he could look at me. "Do you wanna go home?"

"I need to see him." I whispered.

"Okay, we'll leave once you say so, okay?"

I nodded and he pulled me onto his lap on a chair. I set my head on his shoulder and realized that I was really tired actually. I guess I could see him tomorrow, I thought before dozing off in Alex's arms.
