The Alpha's Seductive Hybrid Mate

"What do you think this was all about?" Lennon asked.

As he rubbed his weary hazel eyes. His beautiful brown hair was a little bit messy as if he had just woken up and gotten out of bed. I gave him a shrug. We received a call from Alpha Kylian earlier this morning for a scheduled meeting. My presence was relevant, because I am a commander, Lennon was also one and Augustus is the only other buddy I have.

A chuckle came from Augustus.

"Someone had a good time last night. Come on, Lenn, who was it? Is it Emery? Is she Alleah?" Augustus was making fun of Lenn, I rolled my eyes at both of them.

My fellow pack members were never close to me at any point. When I initially met them, I was under the impression that they were envious of me, but I later discovered that they are terrified of me. Isn't that really bonkers? On the other hand, I was the friendliest person you could ever hope to meet, but I can't say the same thing about Ava. Ava is my wolf, in case you were wondering who she is. Oh, now you know. It is undeniable that she is scary. As well as horrifying when it is required. She is going to make you lament the fact that you ever irritated her.

With the nature of our work it is required to become a fighter. And to add insult to my situation, I happen to be a female. We must continue to demonstrate our worth, or else people will disrespectfully view women. I am not one to easily accept a challenge.

I take pride in the fact that I battled for and earned the respect of my pack using my own efforts.

We are waiting in the office of the Alpha, along with Beta Eliam, who is like my best friend and a brother, and two other Commanders. The future Alpha Augustus is also present in the office that we are in. In accordance with the situation, commanders lead pack warriors and issue orders. They hold the same position as Gamma, which is the third-in-command position in the hierarchy of werewolves.

After entering through the enormous oak doors, Alpha Kylian appeared with long black hair that was disordered and an expression of concern on his face. Under his brilliant, amber eyes, I can see black circles that are there. I was immediately aware that something was not quite right. Nevertheless, I did not express my thoughts. My patience paid off as I waited for the Alpha to speak.

"I will be present at the Annual Council meeting in the same manner that I do every year. It would be great if Augustus and Prima could accompany me. Until we return, Eliam, you are responsible for taking care of the pack. To all of the warriors, please watch over the pack with caution." Everyone took a nod in response to Alpha Kylian's command.

"This year's meeting is held in the Dark Talon pack."

From what I've heard, the Dark Talon pack is the most powerful pack in the United States, and its Warriors are extremely powerful. It is stated that their Alpha is the most powerful and vicious of all the members.

"Don't be concerned, Alpha. I will see to it that everything is taken care of here," Beta Eliam said.

"I am sure you will." Alpha Kylian gave a slight nod.

"Alpha, don't you think it's better to take a few more warriors with you?" It was suggested by Beta Eliam.

"I will be bringing Prima along with me. She is the very finest of the very best that we all have. I have no doubt that everything will work out alright." A grin appeared on my face as Alpha Kylian turned towards me.

"That's because I've got the best teacher," I remarked in a matter-of-fact tone, and Alpha Kylian laughed.

There was no one who cared for me when I was ten years old and abandoned. I was very alone during my initial change, and it was such a difficult experience. In addition to the fact that I had already been labeled a rogue, I had no knowledge whatsoever about the werewolves.

Due to the fact that I was being pursued by a cruel rogue when I was thirteen years old, I violated the rules of the Lycan Blood pack. Alpha Kylian allowed me to become a member of his pack and trained me by himself. I think of him as my father figure.

Due to the fact that the bypass road was closed as a result of an accident, we were forced to take the more time-consuming route in order to arrive at Dark Talon Pack. This took us two hours in the car. As soon as we entered the Dark Talon pack, my wolf Ava became anxious and restless; she was uncomfortable. I was experiencing a severe headache as a result of Ava's constant chattering in my head.

"What is wrong with you?" I inquired about it.

Despite my best efforts, I have yet to receive a response. Therefore, I stopped paying any attention to her after that.

When I gazed out the window, I came to the realization that we had arrived at the pack house. As soon as the vehicle came to a stop in front of the pack house, I exited the vehicle and walked out.

I felt a restless stirring within me. My eyes rolled inwardly as I dove in.

"Ava, are you having a psychotic break?" I inquired in a mocking manner.

I heard Ava snarl at me. On the other hand, just as I was ready to give her a piece of my mind, a couple of pack members suddenly appeared before us.

With large brown eyes and black hair, a man approached us and walked towards us. He appeared to be adorable and engaging. Boyish in nature. I am willing to bet that he is 19 years old at age.

"Hi, I'm Felix, the Gamma of this pack." He introduced.

During the course of his introduction, he cast a few sly glances in my direction, more notably at my neck. It appears that he is hunting for a mark that I do not possess. Still waiting. It is only a few hours until the meeting.

"All your rooms have been reserved for you so you may get some rest before the conference."

Both Augustus and Alpha Kylian gave a nod.

They were led to their quarters by two of the other members of the pack. My footsteps began to follow behind them.

"Hey!" Felix called.

As he scratched the back of his neck, Felix made the statement. In the same way, as Augustus did, he appeared adorable when he was embarrassed. Despite this, I am able to feel his might.

"Hi," I responded.

"Come on, I'll show you to your room." As I entered the pack house, he brought me inside.

"Yeah, sure." As he entered the pack house, I followed him in. How enormous is it? The size of our pack house could be better. I mean, Dark Talon was the most powerful and largest pack, so it makes perfect sense that they would be as such.

"What's your name?" Felix asked me.

"Prima," I responded with a grin on my face.

The interior of the pack house is exceptionally lovely. Everything in this place appeared to be of high quality and pricey. A lavish affair. The living room is filled with a large number of women and children who are chatting and playing together. It appeared to be very animated.

"Is it true that you are the daughter of Alpha Kylian?" Felix couldn't help but notice that I don't resemble Alpha Kylian at all.

"It is not true; I am a Pack Warrior. In point of fact, a Commander. On the other hand, Alpha Kylian is like a parent to me." Despite his delighted expression, he nodded his head.

When we reached the second floor, we continued our trip down the corridor in complete stillness. When I approached him, he stopped in front of a wooden door and opened it for me.

"Before the meeting begins, make sure you get some rest. Within the next five minutes, I will put someone in charge of bringing your bags." Felix uttered those words before turning around.

Immediately after closing the door, I hopped on the bed, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I fell asleep. The pointless car ride left me absolutely and utterly weary. Despite the fact that we ought to have rushed here, Alpha Kylian advised us to hold off on shifting until the meeting was finished. The other members of the pack may be in danger if we do not move accordingly. Each and every one of these get-togethers is always like that.

Following a pleasant little nap, I awoke, took a brief shower, and then made my way downstairs in the direction of the hall where the council meetings were convening. I arrived at the location, but by the time I did, Alpha Kylian and Augustus had already taken their seats at the table that was set aside for our pack. After making my way towards the table, I sat down next to Alpha Kylian.

My voice was hardly audible as I murmured, "I am sorry, I am late."

"I don't mind. There are still a few minutes left until the meeting is scheduled to begin." Alpha Kylian laughed heartily. I gave a slight nod.

I noticed that Felix was waving at me after a few minutes had passed, I smiled and waved back at him. After that, his eyes become glassy, which indicated that he was mind-linking with another individual.

Ava yipped and proceeded to leap around in my thoughts like a crazed dog.

"What are you doing? Please stop what you're doing. My head is starting to hurt because of you." It was a snap.

I heard her growl at me.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" My query was met with yet another growl from the animal.

While I was thinking, I rolled my eyes.

Alpha Kylian's eyebrows wrinkled, showing that he was perplexed by the situation.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

The internal rolling of my eyes did not occur. Having said that, I pondered. I was also the subject of Augustus's interested gaze. There are times when they both appear to be identical, with the same eyes and hair. Just like Alpha Kylian, Augustus is a younger version of him.

I gave a slight shake of my head.

"The one named Ava is giving me a terrible headache dealing with her." I explained.

Alpha Kylian laughed and glanced at me with a sly grin on his face.

"She is so restless and prancing in my head all day." I added.

The gentle smile he gave me was followed by a stroke on the shoulders.

"She growled at me for the first time." I was displeased.

After that, he gave me a head pat while smiling as if I were a young girl. I frowned.

"What exactly is going on? Do you have any idea why she is acting in such a manner for any reason?" Alpha Kylian asked.

An incredible, mouth-watering aroma of sandalwood and a hint of earthy forest hit me like a ton of bricks as he opened his mouth to give me a response. I had never experienced anything quite like it. The entrance to the meeting room was opened to a broad opening.

A tall, gorgeous man with stormy blue eyes, a strong, sharp jaw, and a straight nose stood there. He had a straight nose. The appearance of his large lips was so warm and welcoming. Because of the clothing he was wearing, his big shoulder and torso muscles are very obvious to the naked eye. As soon as I made eye contact with this wonderful man, it was as if the entire universe had come to a complete halt for thirty seconds.

When I heard Ava wailing and screaming in my head, I momentarily forgot how to breathe. I was completely exhausted.

When I heard Ava wailing and screaming in my head, I momentarily forgot how to breathe. I was completely exhausted.

A gentle smile appeared on his face as he maintained eye contact with me. My eyes grew wider.

What is the name of this holiness? Have I found a partner?

"Without a doubt, we have a mate. It's a werewolf out there." Ava responded to this.

The moment he heard someone calling for him, he immediately broke eye contact with me and moved toward the table set aside for his team.

A completely pointless meeting continued for close to two hours. Everyone is talking about the nefarious rogues and vampires, which is making me really bored. I am completely bored.

According to reports, they attempted to prevent confrontations that would eventually escalate to war by negotiating a few conditions with vampire tribes who were located nearby. That is a nice suggestion. He is an Alpha who is well-equipped. When it comes to werewolf packs, vampires are a real pain in the ass. It is a dispute that dates back hundreds of years. Even though some individuals are dating and don't care about the feud, if their pack or clan leaders discover that they are dating, they will be banished from their group. That is just incomprehensible.

Following the conclusion of the meeting, Alpha Kylian and Augustus glanced at me with a suspicious glimmer in their eyes that were made of obsidian.

"What?" I asked.

He smiled at me as if he knew exactly what was going to happen.

"You knew what was going to happen, didn't you?" I was displeased.

They both laughed out loud.

"We assumed that. But I was surprised to find out that it was Alpha Kairo Nixon." As Alpha Kylian shrugged, he continued.

A broad grin spread across Augustus's face as he said. I am relieved that I have discovered my soul partner. Nevertheless, I am unsure of how I feel. Am I experiencing joy? Do I feel remorse for it? Am I able to truly accept him and put my faith in him?

Felix approached me with a doubtful expression that suggested he was trying to figure out something. At the time, I was immersed in my own thoughts.

Having anticipated that he would speak, I raised an eyebrow.

"Please allow me to introduce you to our Alpha. Could you please accompany me?" I gave a hesitant nod.

What is he going to declare? If you want to mate, why don't you be the Sigma? In response to that, what the fuck am I going to say? What is going to take place at this moment? I followed Felix to the Alpha's office, which was located in a separate building despite having all of these ridiculous notions. As a matter of fact, it appeared to be a house.

During the time that we were there, Felix knocked on the enormous wooden door. When we heard a faint 'come in,' he opened the door by turning the brass knob and opening the door.

The interior design of the office left me in awe as soon as we stepped inside. This is an extremely elegant and well-organized piece of business. In addition to the white paint used on the walls, the shelves included some lovely woodwork. The windows and the balcony were created excellently, and there were a few plants on the balcony. Simply put, crotchety. And not the ones with flowers.

At the opposite end of the room, the most powerful Alpha in the world was sitting in his enormous leather seat behind his oak desk. He appeared to be one of the scariest people in the world.

He exuded an air of authority and domination. However, I am also a powerful person. He does not need to be aware of that, however. So far. Even though I do not believe that Ava is an Alpha, she is a highly powerful individual. When compared to Ava, Alphas are taller. However, I am nearly as powerful as they are. I will be able to take down his beta.

His eyes are fixed on me with fervent scrutiny.

"Felix, you may leave." Without taking his gaze off of me, he made the statement.

I had the impression that he was removing my clothes with his eyes, and I felt like I was being exposed.

Alpha Nixon jumped up from his leather chair and walked towards me with an unfathomable speed. He then nuzzled his nose in the crook of my neck and wrapped his arms around me. This occurred as soon as Felix left the room. It was a really personal and... incredible experience.

"Mate." In my neck, he let forth a growl.

Sparkles exploded as a result of his proximity. In spite of the fact that I had the desire to lean into his contact, my rational mind prevented me from doing so.

"Mate. Mate. Mate." Ava continued to chant as if she were praying.

Having Ava in my head was driving me crazy, so I shoved her to the back of my mind. I was driving myself crazy.

"Alpha 11 Nixon -" I was abruptly interrupted by the speaker.

"Take my name, Kairo. You are my mate. Just like me." When he finally pulled away from my neck, he remarked while looking directly into my eyes. I gave a slight nod.

"Prima, you have such a pleasant aroma. Amazingly appetizing. Remarkable." While he was squeezing me strongly, he pulled me against him. I had a hard time breaking free from his hold on me.

To be a powerful and vicious Alpha, he was so adorable that it was hard to believe. Have I misunderstood one of the rumors? He was a gigantic teddy bear despite the fact that he appeared to be a little menacing. When I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny?" With a frown, he inquired.

"And stop struggling, I am not letting you go anytime soon." He added.

What the hell is going on? Will I never return to the Lycan Blood pack? When I thought about it, my eyes grew wide.

I am still determining whether I accepted him or whether I could trust him. I don't even know. In what ways can I express that to him without causing him any harm? To hell with it, I despise the entire affair.

"I have to go." Nearly a whisper, I say.

Although he was moving away from me, he still looked me in the eyes.

"Go where?" He asked.

"Home." I strongly said.

"You are my mate. Right now, this is your home. You are not going to leave me, but I will give you some time to adjust to this environment." Using a commanding tone, he uttered something that almost frightened me.

To clarify, the idea of being separated from him is so overwhelming that it causes my heart to burst out of my chest. How am I supposed to debate with him in order to get him to let me go?

Why am I experiencing these feelings? At no point was I weak. When I was thirteen years old, I inserted all of my feeble emotions into the most profound recesses of my heart. Also, I still need to prepare to remove them from that location. Not at this time. Moreover, I would never do that in front of my partner.

"In spite of whether you like it or not, I have to leave. I don't need to have a partner." Despite my heart being shattered into a million pieces, I went ahead and said it with a straight face.

Following my escape from him, I did not return to the pack house but instead went straight to the room that had been assigned to me and locked the door. I can't bear to look at his bloodied face. Particularly if I was the one who caused it.

I leaped up onto the bed and buried myself in the pillow, allowing my tears to tumble down my face. Wow, after eight years of not sobbing, I can finally shed tears again.

In the event that she intended to give birth to me, why did she go through with it? Even if I were to expose my true identity to my partner, I never would. What was the reason that she had to give birth to a supernatural being that was abnormal? At this moment, I am paying the price for her error with my heart.

This is the most angry I've ever felt toward her. For as long as I can remember, I've thought she left me for some reason. This time, however, I was beyond enraged.

Infuriated, I was.

What the hell, mom?

After what seemed like hours of crying and hiccupping like a small girl, I heard a knock at the door and a few whispers. Following that, I was able to calm down.

Upon opening the door, I found Augustus and Alpha Kylian standing there waiting for me outside. Both of them embrace me from opposite sides.

"Are you okay?" Alpha Kylian inquired with some reluctance.

I gave a slight nod.

"We know you are lying." He let out a sigh.

I chose not to respond. By the way, what the hell am I supposed to say?

I was so overcome with weakness that I walked over to the bed and sat on the edge of it. They sat on either side of me, Alpha Kylian and Augustus.

"What has caused you to even consider leaving him? You are aware of how important a mate is to us and other werewolves. How are you able to turn him down?" Augustus inquired about it.

The look of concern that is imprinted on his face is very evident to me.

"He will be aware of who I am if I choose to accept him. In the event that he is aware of who I am, he is now writing my death certificate. Also, I am not yet prepared to pass away." I answered.

"Prima, you are aware that he is an Alpha, are you not? He is dependent on you. His group is in need of you." Alpha Kylian made an effort to persuade me.

"I- I don't know if I can trust him," I replied in a low, croaky voice.

"I'm not totally sure." I added hesitantly.

An anxious expression appeared on Alpha Kylian's face for the very first time. He is like a father to me. It is true that he has always been self-assured and forceful, but his appearance has changed.

"Prima, you should give him a chance. The only thing I want for you is to have a partner that loves you without conditions. You are worthy of the opportunity to find a partner and lead a happy life. How come you feel the need to get rid of everything?" Alpha Kylian said rationally.

"Prim, it is clear that he cares for you. If you don't like him or if something happens, you will always have a place at Lycan Blood. I don't know why you are acting like this, but I can promise you that you will always have a place there. On the other hand, simply give it a shot." It was Augustus's attempt to persuade me.

I am familiar with the fact that they both care about me and if they were uncertain about Kairo, they would not have said this.

They might be somewhat off base. An opportunity could be given to him by me. After all, I am able to put my faith in him. When it comes to my concerns, I really hope that the moon goddess did not make a mistake.

My mind was filled with a whirlwind of thoughts, which prompted me to reflect. After giving it some thought for a while, I grudgingly gave a nod.

"But I'm going to come back if I don't like him," I protested back.

"Sure." They both stated it simultaneously and smiled from ear to ear, which caused me to smile as well as I was smiling.

"Don't forget to use protection." I was hugged by Augustus. I gave him a playful tap on the shoulder despite the fact that he was whispering.

"Love you, Prim." He said.

My giggling was audible.

"Love you too, Augy."

After hearing our conversation, Alpha Kylian laughed.

"Now go get your Alpha, dear."

Just like that, I couldn't help but smile. A peak for me. My adorable mate. She brought a lot of joy to my life. At this point, she is willing to give me a chance. Please give us a chance. I had no ability to remove the smile that was on my face.

I instantly gave her a hug as soon as she finished speaking,

"Okay, let's give this mate thing a chance." I did this as soon as she finished her sentence.

Her aroma of raspberry and lavender was so enticing that I couldn't bear it. When I inhaled her aroma, I couldn't stop myself.

"You smell so wonderful," In her ear, I murmur, and I point to her.

Her trembling was very obvious. Moreover, I cherished the impact that I had on her. Her already pale cheeks took on a pink hue as a result of a subtle blush that crept upon them.

Later on that day, she bid farewell to Alpha Kylian and his son, and then she wandered around the pack with Reese, my Beta Nash's mate, taking in the sights and sounds of the environment.

Fortunately, they developed a strong friendship. And in a hurry. It is a tremendous relief to know that she is in capable hands even when I am not physically present with her. The female Reese is an excellent one. She is a very intelligent fighter who is also one of the most powerful.

Reese was the first thing that came to my mind when I concluded my work at the office. "Where are you?"

"On the way to the pack house, Alpha." In an instant, she gave her response.

I arrived at the pack house in a few minutes and was able to see my partner there. I was walking towards her with a sense of impatience, but I came to a complete halt when I felt someone's touch on my shoulder.

"Hey Kairo, how was the meeting today?" From her position next to me, Rory chirped, and she was now clinging to my arm like a koala.

When I was about to respond, my mate was already there, so I had to wait.

"It's Alpha Nixon for you." While she was standing next to me, Prima folded her arms under her breasts and raised an eyebrow.

I was able to contain my laughter. When my gorgeous partner appears to be possessive and envious of me, it is very adorable. I had the need to give her a kiss at this very moment.

"And who the hell are you, anyway? The new fuck partner he has?" She said this as she moved closer to Prima. Rory frowned.

"Just so you know.He loves it when you scream his name in bed." She gave a wink.

"Be careful with your fucking mouth. Her name is 'my mate'." I let out a roar at Rory. I was fuming.

Several others let out gasps. I desired to make it known to the entire world that Prima was my partner so that no one would have the audacity to treat her with disdain or stare at her in an inappropriate manner.

"Who is your mate? Her?" Rory asked sarcastically.

My anger was fueled by her question, which she posed while pointing towards Prima, and her scowl.

Before Rory, Prima took a step forward and moved closer to her.

"That is correct; do you have a problem with that? Moreover, you must never again show me disrespect. Keep in mind that this is your final caution." Prima let out a roar.

The immense strength and wrath that she is releasing explodes out of her, and I can literally feel it. Why do I ever have the impression that she is more powerful than I am? Is my mind playing tricks on me? I am proud of her regardless of the manner in which she is dealing with Rory.

Despite the fact that I wanted to rip Rory's throat out, I wanted my mate to tackle this situation on her own so that my pack could learn about how powerful she was and how she would be an excellent Sigma.

"She is actually more powerful than you anticipate." In a confirmation, Flynn stated,

"What do you mean?" I inquired about him.

"You'll know when the time comes." It was a sigh.

"Can you stop with your cryptic shit and just tell me?" I argued.

"NO." he shouted at me and obstructed my path.

Rory gave Prima a glare, but then she turned around and walked away while huffing and stomping. It was a mistake on my part to fuck her. Even just the idea of fucking her once more made me feel sick to my stomach. What was the point of my doing that in the past?

"See, I told you you'd like my house," I murmured to myself.

My home was being investigated by Prima. I could tell from the expression on her face that she was pleased with the location. Finally, let's hope that she enjoyed the pack as much as I enjoyed it. She turned around and stared in my direction.

"Shouldn't I take you seriously? In no way is this a house. This is one insanely large mansion." Her tone was deadpan.

As I was giving a tour of the residence, I laughed aloud. I started by opening the door to our bedroom.

"This will be our bedroom." I introduced.

"Our?" She prompted and I gave a slight nod.

"I am not touching that bed where you fucked other women." It was her nose that she was wrinkling, she added.

"I heaved a sigh. I am going to get rid of the bed and place an order for a new one tomorrow. Is that okay?" She gave a slight nod.

Immediately after the meal, Prima and I went for a stroll in the backyard.

"So tell me about yourself." I was interested in learning everything there was to know about her. Every single item that she possesses.

When she looked up at me, her eyes were wide open.

"Umm, what do you want to know?" Why is she stuttering so much? Am I causing her to feel anxious?

"Anything about you." I gave a shrug.

And with that, I was able to learn about her preferred color, her favorite cuisine, and the way that she enjoys fighting. I also included some of my personal favorites. The color blue, spaghetti, and lasagna are all things that she appears to enjoy.

"And what about your mother and father? Do you have any siblings? You are aware that I would permit them to be in my pack for y-" she interrupted me.

"I never had a parent. When I first shifted, I was a rogue, and I trespassed into the Lycan Blood pack. When I was in pursuit, another rogue came after me. My good fortune was that Alpha Kylian took me into his pack. Through his own training, he shaped me into the person I am today." She said.

A child without a parent? After that, I recalled what Alpha Kylian had said previously. I shall make an effort to communicate with him.

"Treat her with the utmost care, please. She reminds me of my own daughter. You should prepare yourself for a conflict if you cause her harm." He warned me.

After hearing what she had to say, I couldn't help but wonder how in the hell she managed to go through the initial transition by herself. After that, I came to a realization. I am not aware of how powerful my partner is. Not only physically but also emotionally. After that, I made a solemn vow to myself that I would never abandon her.

"I-I'm sorry. for making you remember those memories. Right now, you have me. I promise that I will never abandon you." I embraced her, leaned in close to her ear.

Upon receiving a tight hug from her, I felt as though I had been transported to heaven. I simply did not want to be apart from her in any manner.

Following our little stroll and conversation, we found ourselves feeling exhausted, so we made our way to our guest room, which was located adjacent to my room.

"I'm taking the couch." She proclaimed it.

"No, you are not." I scowled at her as I gazed at her.

"I am not sleeping on the floor." She arched her absolutely flawless eyebrow.

Bewildered, I gazed at her expression. Was she under the impression that I would allow her to sleep on the floor? Does anyone have any comments regarding the floor?

"I am going to stay on the couch, and you are going to sleep on the bed." I said. The pause that she took was brief.

"Okay." She gave a slight nod.

Earlier, I had already mind-linked Felix to bring all of her belongings to this location. After using the restroom, she changed into a pair of blue cotton pajama shorts and a white t-shirt before returning to the same room.

The sight of her beautiful, delicate legs did not fail to capture my interest. My entire train of thought became soiled. The sensation of those bare legs on mine was something that I pondered. The way in which her petite body will fit incredibly well in my arms.

She caught me when I was glancing at her, which prevented me from going any farther. I gave a sheepish look and stripped down to my boxers, which allowed my semi-erection to be seen through the gap between them. As soon as I turned my head to look at her, she was already looking at me with her stunningly wide green eyes and a blush on her cheeks. As soon as her eyes met mine, I responded with a smirk of contentment and then proceeded to lie down on the couch in the room.

Although I wanted to sleep next to her and hold her in my arms, I refrained from doing so, because I did not want to make my adorable mate feel uncomfortable.

With the knowledge that I was finally in the same room as my partner, I was able to go off into a restful, sound sleep. She was completely unaware of how frequently I searched for her and how eagerly I awaited her arrival.
