Two months later
I don't think anyone could prepare me for how exhausting taking on the Alpha title would be. Not that I'd change anything in this world because I love doing what I do, I love becoming a stronger person everyday by leading my fellow pack members to their own successes within themselves and their wolves.
It gives me a thrill to see them thrive. It's my favourite part of being a leader. It's not about the power that it gives me, it's about giving everyone equal opportunities to grow within themselves and be the best they can.
Both Imogen and I have seen amazing improvements with everyone's abilities by changing training priorities and focusing on their weakest skills.
The pack has never been stronger and yet I can't help but think I managed to do this without worrying I wouldn't be good enough for them. All my insecurities went away as soon as I realised how natural the role felt within days.
I never had anything to worry about.
My head focuses down onto the paperwork on my desk, alongside my laptop with new information I've been working on all day. I let Imogen have the day off to spend with Leon. The doctors say he has a few days left and I said she can take as long as she needs. It's not something I want to think about but we will all mourn his loss dearly, especially my father.
A knock at the door stirs me from my thoughts. I clear my throat and glance up. "Come in," I shout before scribbling something down on the paper in front of me.
Milo's beautiful scent wafts into my face as soon as he opens the door. I flick my eyes towards him as he steps inside, a delicate smile on his face and a mug of coffee in the other.
"Hey," I say, my body relaxing at his presence. Not realising how tense my shoulders really were.
I've been shut in here all day and seeing his face makes everything one hundred percent better. "Hey," he moves those blue eyes over my desk before landing on my face. "How is everything going?"
I watch as he kicks the door shut behind him and walks towards me. "It's going," I nod with a deep breath. "I thought you were going out with Viola today?"
"I did," he nods. "But she's busy."
My eyebrows raise, I open my mouth to speak but Milo places the cup in front of me. "I thought you might need this." He says sweetly.
The gesture might be small but it means a lot to me and god, I am tired. I grip his wrist and tug him to my side, pulling him down so I can meet his lips for a delicate kiss. "Thank you," I murmur against him. "That was thoughtful of you."
Milo shrugs like it's nothing. "I'm always thinking of you."
I breathe out through my nose. "I should be done soon and I promise we can spend some quality time together later."
"I understand you're busy, Nate. It's fine. Don't push yourself to finish if you need time. I've got used to sharing you with the pack over the last eight months." He says, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "I just wanted to bring you something to give myself an excuse to see you."
I'm partly relieved he can see my side from this but I want nothing more than to be with him when things get tough. But I have to be strong, I have to set a good example and I adore that he understands that.
What did I do to get so damn lucky?
"You never need an excuse to see me, baby," I tug him down onto my lap.
A gasp falls from his mouth as he collapses down onto me and I bury myself in his neck. I lick at his mark that I adore to kiss, especially when Milo squirms against me and moans at the softest touch. Sometimes I like to admire it, other times I like to nip at the skin to give him a burst of sensations from that magical night.
"Nate," he moans my name so sensually that my core clenches. "Fuck."
I pull my lips away from his neck and peek my eyes up at him. "I can't get enough of you. Sorry."
A deep pink blush runs over his cheeks. "Save it for later. I don't want to be the reason I'm keeping you from doing your work. I know it's important."
"And you're important to me too ."
His eyes sparkle in my direction, leaning in he presses his mouth to mine in a warm, comforting kiss that makes my stomach clench. I drag my hand through the back of his hair. "I love you," I whisper. "I couldn't do this without you."
Milo shakes his head. "Yeah, you could."
"I beg to differ."
I glance up at him and tug him closer, wrapping my arms around him. "What happened with Viola?"
"I don't know," he sighs. "I think her relationship with Haze is here, there, everywhere."
My eyes roll. I knew this would happen but I'm not involving myself in my sister's life anymore, the only exception is if he hurt her. Then I'd fucking murder him in cold blood and have no remorse about it.
Viola has always wanted a relationship with her mate, so when Haze turned to a ghost for a few months, it broke her.
Viola wanted to give him a chance. She said mates don't hurt each other and I pray she's right. The thought of hurting Milo–I'd rather kill myself instead.
Now after a few months he makes an appearance after trying to patch up his life–or what's left of it. I don't know the ins and the outs of their relationship because I don't ask, I just want her to be happy and be with someone who treats her like a damn princess.
"Mate bonds aren't always easy," Milo shrugs. "It took us a while to get together."
"That's different," I grumble as he rearranges himself on my lap.
He chews on his lip. "Maybe, but he's probably struggling with the loss of his pack, anyone would. I believe Viola can help him become a different person. And besides, she's a badass with her defence training. She's a feisty wolf."
I stay silent for a few moments. "I hope you're right."
"When am I ever wrong?" He responds and I open my mouth. "Don't answer that."
A small laugh passes my lips. "Thank you again for the tea," I say changing the subject.
"You're welcome." He pecks my temple. "I'll leave you to your work."
I nod knowing it's for the best, inside I'm groaning in frustration. "I'll come out for dinner."
"Sure," Milo hops off my lap. "Be productive."
"Or what?" My eyes flash in his direction.
Milo smirks back at me. "Or I won't give you a blowjob tonight."
I narrow my eyes at him. "You evil little thing."
He winks at me effortlessly and I hate how much blood rushes to my crotch. "Do your work," he says before opening the door. "Then we can have our fun."
When he's gone I stare at the door for long moments contemplating how I'm going to focus after that X-rated image is imprinted into my brain.
