Holy fucking crap.
With a sigh, I followed my rather pissed mate out of the living room, and up the stairs to our bedroom. Okay okay I might have been a bit snappy but to the hell with that why should I be the one to blame huh?
You know you're wrong
Oh there you are.
Missed me?
With that attitude you're forcing me to say no.
Liar liar pants on fire!
I don't know about the lying thing but my pants are definitely on fire...
Gasping at my own bravery and boldness, I obediently stepped in out bedroom, feeling my mate's anger and hurt pride through our bond. Oh dear..
Flinching just lightly as he shut the door closed, I dared peek up at him, only to be awarded with a pissed look and a cold stare.
"Listen Le---"
"No Alexia you listen. I understand that you have a few... Emotional explosions from time to time and that you cannot help it.."
His pause meant a lot. We both knew it could be stopped, and hopefully it would, yet it wasn't wise to interrupt him now with a cheeky comment.
"... But you MUST realise how difficult it is for me to hold myself back from doing something I'd regret..-
"What do yo---
"Do not interrupt me, Alexia." His voice came out extremely quiet yet with so much power behind it. His Alpha genes were most probably screaming, and it was touching that he had all this self control in store for me but.. Scary.
Remaining quiet, I nodded at him, nervously biting my lip. I felt like I was getting scolded, and I somehow was.
Running a hand through his tousled hair, my man glanced down at me with an icy look.
"You cannot imagine how difficult this is for me. Having to keep up with any emotional roller coaster you get. Wanting to soothe you but holding back because you want to wait. Ignoring my wolf and controlling the urge to punish you for constantly arguing or disrespecting me. We are mates but I am still an Alpha. With hundreds of responsibilities and duties. With a pride that goes down the hill every time you defy me in front of the pack. I love you to bits, I would give my life for you without a second thought but it isn't only me who has to work for that. You knew very well who you were mates with when was first met. You knew about my pack and the way I rule. I've been too large with you and everybody..."
His tone grew louder and his face more frustrated as I sat there, with my mouth hanging open in surprise. I never knew he felt that way, that I was undermining him.
"... I've neglected the issues going on because I'm constantly trying to fix things between us, or be the good mate I have to be for you, making sure you feel welcome in here. Hell we are threatened by hunters and the fighters have been slacking for eons!" Leo said quietly, yet with rough voice as his knuckles turned white while he clenched his fists.
"I love you and cherish the time we spend together. But we both have been ignoring our responsibilities. We are Alpha and Luna. And we respect each other. Or we ought to.."
Blinking lightly, I remained silent fighting my tears away. I was disrespectful I understand... And ignoring my duties.. And chilling out, not having any worries about the pack... I'm so awful..
"No you are not." My man's voice came out as soon as I -most probably- said that out loud. Glancing up at him, I saw him move to sit by me, my vision blurred by the tears I couldn't hold back.
Sighing heavily, he pulled me on his lap, and kissed my head and rubbed me back as I let the tears drop. Had I knew, I would have been more active... More understanding.
"Alexia..." He murmured quietly, his fingers stroking my tear stained cheek.
I just shook my head and tried to stop, wiping my eyes and cheeks.
Get a grip. Focus.
After a few minutes I managed to stop and looked up at him with a determined look.
"You were right. I will be the best Luna this planet has ever seen. I want to. Help and give more to your pac--
"Our pack" Leo said with a firm nod, yet smiling proudly at me.
"Yes our pack. You've been so kind and I've been overreacting. I'm sorry."
"Apology accepted, Miss Williams."
My heart flattered at his reply and I softly grazed my lips across his for a gentle kiss. Though judging from his "poking friend" it must haven't been a very wise move.

"I was just about to come upstairs! The food is ready!" Elena said with a shake of her head as soon as we stepped in the kitchen.
Looking around, with a rather confused look, I saw that we were on our own.
The family.
"Where are the others?" Leo wondered with a raised eyebrow, his arm possessively wrapped around my waist.
"Your mother decided to send them all away so we could have a family dinner." Mr. Brandon replied with a look that betrayed his disapproval.
Mark and Elena were sat already on their chairs, talking quietly to each other. Only then did I smell the wonderful food that was placed around the kitchen's counters. Lasagna, French fries, pork and chicken, rice and fried vegetables, noodles and different kind of salads.
Leo's stomach gave a loud growl, making us all laugh and aww at his almost blushing cheeks.
"To the table!" He half shouted, embarrassed, sitting on the chair and tugging me down next to him, giving me a look though it didn't manage to erase my cheeky smile.

"Can we watch Finding Nemo? Pleaaaaaase!" I blinked my eyes up at Leo, sticking my bottom lip out.
"No." His buzz cut answered made me frown and pout.
His arms were immediately wrapped around me, pulling me in his muscled torso.
"We are going upstairs... In our bedroom." Came his reply through our bond, such heated look and a tone full of promises, making my knees buckle at the thought only, my breath hitching as I felt my heat coming back to life...
