The Alphas Mermaid Princess

Saftley Ashore

"You won't be getting in trouble on my behalf,don't worry,I can handle my mate"I say obviously

As soon as I say those words the scent of a strong masculine presence and cologne with pine needless and forests musk filled my nostrils

"Is that so?"said a deep voice from behind me

The hairs on the back of my neck stood up and I inwardly jump from the start

"Alpha"Liam and the 6 other men around us quickly bow their heads

I slowly turn to see my tall muscular mate who was wearing nothing but black basket ball shorts

His hungry dangerous eyes met mine and I shiver with delight for my mate

"Ryder"I whisper"I thought you had  buisness to attend to for Most of the night"i told him

He looks down at me sternly with his jaw locked tight,He was always so serious wasn't he?"What are you still doing out here?Why aren't you inside Merina??"My name  slides off his tongue dominantly as he slowly strides up to me and towers over my body awaiting my response

He looks over to Liam with an angry expression

I bring my hands up to his chest as I bring my body against his"Don't be upset with him,I was the one who didn't want to go in yet"I explain as I feel my mates satisfying sparks from our bond

My mate stares down at me unamused

He grabs my waist and holds me against him"you know the rules,Back into the house before dark"He says sternly as he digs his nose into the crook of my neck making me softly gasp

I gasp slowly from my mates provocative nature twords my neck "I-I just needed a bit more time to practice,you know I have to get this stuff down"I explain as I run my fingers over his broad shoulders

He stares down at me with sexy eyes"Not after dark,it's not safe out here"He says cupping my face at the end"you know this mate"

I look up at him cheekily"If my mighty Alpha mate had escorted me out here to practice,no matter day or night,you wouldn't need to worry for my safety."I sing sweetly into his ears from below

I watch as the beginning of a slight smirk began to form in the corner of his mouth amusingly

"My Strong and Brave mate can protect me against anything"I whisper buttering him up

I feel my mates hold on me slightly tighten as he now fully smirks,somewhat amused

"It doesn't matter if I can protect you or not little mate.Rules in my pack are made to keep everyone safe.Especially you.Just because I'm your Mate does not mean you can break protocol "he whispers nagging me like a child

I roll my eyes as he growls"even if your the only one who could possibly get- away with it, by trying to sweet talk me like that darling"he smirks playing into my playful flirting

I giggle as he pulls me close"I can't say I mind it though"he whispers into my neck as I giggle louder

I can feel his packs eyes on us still

His wolf has been even more protective of me since what has happened for obvious reasons.I can say that we have been much happier and healthier as a couple for what we have been through together

My now serious mate turns to his pack "Take the Luna inside"He growls the command and Liam and the rest of his pack nod

Just like that my mate is already back to business

I pause from the title he addressed me as.

Ryder lifts my chin to meet his golden eyes"I will be right behind you"I slowly sigh and nod in response with a small smile
