A Mates Kiss

Normal To Not

His callused fingers caressed my neck, they feel rough but somehow at the same time they are warm and inviting. They travel lower sending shivers down my spine, leaving goosebumps all over my body. His fingers stop at my hips, rubbing light circles in my skin. His lips press into my neck ever so lightly, leaving a burning sensation in its trail. My heart speeds up as the kisses get more intense. I roll over to face the magical man only to be awoken by a loud BANG!

I sit up as fast as I can, swinging my legs over the bed, and putting my feet in the soft carpet below. I stand and walk to the door. BANG! Another loud sound echoed through the pack house. I open the door to my bedroom, only to be hit with a wave of smoke and the smell of something burning. I walk down the stairs, my nose being invaded with a burning sensation due to the smoke. My eyes water as I enter the kitchen. I see the source of all the awful sounds and scents. Of course! I should have guessed, it was my brother Ryan 'cooking'. "RYAN! What on god's green earth are you doing?!?!" I scream.

"Making breakfast, what do you think I'm doing?" he says in a 'duh' tone.

"Umm... I don't know maybe trying to burn the house down and kill us all!!!"

"Stop whining Paxton, it's not that bad, god your being so dramatic." he grumbles and looks at me with his big brown eyes, his dirty blonde hair sticking up everywhere. He looked so, I don't know, frustrated maybe. "Could you, I don't know, maybe help me... please?" I look at him with wide eyes, I don't think I have ever heard him say please in my life. It takes me a few seconds to answer but I finally do.

"Yeah sure, I'll help you but first I have to open a few windows. You really need a cooking class or something before you burn the whole pack to ashes." I giggle at him. He just groans back but I can tell he laughed, on the inside. I walk to a few windows opening them. I wonder why he's making breakfast. Maybe it's to impress his mate Bella! He found his mate less than a week ago. She seems pretty nice. I'm getting kind of nervous about mine, since I have yet to find him though. I'm two years older than Ryan and he found his mate a day after he turned eighteen. It's not fair! I just hope I don't turn out like the crazy old mate-less lady in our pack. Gosh Ms. Greene gives me the creeps.

"PAXTON! Hurry up! Get over here!" Ryan pulls me out of my thoughts and I run to the kitchen and see that he is cleaning up. I get momentarily confused, didn't he want me to help make breakfast? Why was he putting stuff away?

"What are you doing, I thought we were making breakfast?"

"We were until I found out that there are some wolves stalking around our borders. I guess I'll make breakfast for Bella some other time." He sighed. Ha ha! I knew it, he was making breakfast for Bella! Wait did he just say wolves... around our borders? I finally gain some sense and question him on the matter.

"What do you mean wolves on the border? How did you find out? Do you know who they are? Can I help?"

"Paxton chill with the interrogation. Yes there are wolves on our border, dad just told me while you were off being you. No I don't know who they are and no you can't help. I'll let you know all the information I get, okay? Now, I have to go and help dad. Stop worrying, it's probably nothing." Since our dad is Beta, my brother gets to go and help with stuff like this. He's really good at handling these things.

Instead of poking and prodding like I usually do, I go up to my room. The pack house doesn't smell anymore thankfully, and I walk into my room plopping down on my bed. I can't help but to remember the dream I had earlier. It's not the first time I've had the dream either. I have had them every night for the past few weeks. I mean they're not exactly the same but it's the same callused fingers, the same room, bed and everything. But I still haven't figured out who the mysterious man is. It's driving me insane. I drift off to a dreamless sleep only to be awoken again.

I wake up to see my dad staring down at me. He looked worried, so I got up out of bed and went to him. He still has yet to say a word. ¨Dad, what's wrong? Is everything ok? Is it about the wolves around our territory?¨

Almost as if me talking to him snapped him out of the trance he was in, he looked at me, kind of confused. He still hasn't said a word. I walk passed him and down the stairs, I go through the kitchen and to the back porch. There I see the scariest but most beautiful thing in the world.

I see the Alpha of the Silver Nightshade pack, the most dangerous pack in the whole world. The pack is almost as strong as the council, and they are in my back yard. Sadly that's not what scares me. What scares me is the fact that he is the man in my dreams, and he is also my... MATE...
