Chapter 39: SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND SHE WAS MINE

**Alpha Dylan**

She held my gaze once again and blushed crimson.

I liked the way her entire face down to her neck and cheek bones coloured a bright red with running blood.

She was mute and shy.

I took the opportunity to study her own facial features.

She was beautiful.

Her hair was indeed short and curly like i had seen it earlier. She had round eyes with shiny black orbs, inquisitive eyes.

Her nose was small and complimented her pink lips that I had just been kissing.

Her ear was small and cute. I could see it because she had lifted her hands to her head and tucked her hair behind her ears.

"I- I," she began to say something with a timid demeanor.

"You are beautiful," I simply told her. I did not allow her to speak because she was instantly flustered by my words, blushing beet root red.

She was beautiful and she was mine.

I straightened then to my full height, looked up at the intruder as i gently drew her into my side. She allowed me.

There was not only the person who had coughed. There was two more people, standing and staring at the both of us, simply astonished by what they had just witnessed.

There was my beta, Drake who was looking at me with a confused gaze. There was my cousin, Simon and my cousin sister, Lydia. Lydia was back? When had she returned from her school?

She had a questioning look on her face alongside a high questioning brow.

I followed her line of sight. She was looking at the shy woman in my arms.

Her gaze on my mate made her to grow the color of sin from embarrassment.

"What is happening here?" Lydia asked. I had a feeling that she was not talking to me but to the woman at my side, my mate.

My mate looked flustered as she fumbled with her fingers.

"What is happening here?" Lydia pushed further with that inquisitive gaze of hers. Was she not being too nosy? Was being a busy body one of the things that she had gone to learn in school?

"I- I found, I- I," The woman beside me stuttered nervously. Did she need to explain herself to anyone? She continued to look at my mate with some kind of hidden threat in her eyes and I feared she would scare her.

So I came to her rescue.

"Do not frighten my mate," I scolded my cousin. She looked at me with unbelievable eyes before she began to laugh heartily.

"Wow!" She said with a high-pitched scream. "Is he really? Is he truly your mate Ellen?" She pestered my mate like the pest that I had always known her to be. My mate nodded softly.

So, her name was Ellen?

It seemed like the two of them were friends to me. That would explain her presence in this household.

"Girl, you are so in luck!" She meowed like a spoilt kitten as she came closer with the intent to hold my mate's hands. I pulled my mate to me to discourage such a gesture. How dare she try to touch my woman in front of me? The audacity she had after she had gone to school?

"Is your name Ellen?" I asked her as I turned to my side to look at her. She looked up at me at the sound of my voice.

Her big round eyes looked innocently sexy, stirring my wolf. I stopped myself from kissing her one more time. We had company i reminded myself.

"I am Ellen," she told me and I smiled at her.

Ellen.

The sound of her name was like a melodious tune to my ears.

It was a beautiful name for a beautiful woman like her.

"Nice to meet you," she continued. Then she added, " my mate," after a small pause.

"I am Dylan. I am thrilled to meet you Ellen. I have waited for you for a long time," I told her truthfully. She blinked at my words just as her previously fading blush came surging back.

She blushed a lot.

I noticed.

Was she always this shy?

"When shall I see my mate?" my cousin sister began to chant in a fake solemn voice. She was a stupid person. Had she not been oppressing I and Simon with her mate since the day she had found her?

Her mate was a female.

I refused to pay heed to her nonsense talk. I did not have the time for her obvious rubbish. I had a mate now and she was more important to me than anything or even any one at this point.

I was beginning to get the hang of it, this mate thing.

"Are you from the Hyran pack?" I asked her. She shook her head in the negative. Where was she from then? "Then where are you-"

"Are you from the Hyran pack?" she interrupted me. I shook my head in the negative too. I suddenly felt as if she would feel i was mimicking her actions so i spoke.

"I am not. I am from the Kane pack. It is almost west of the Hyran pack."

"Is the Kane pack pretty? Did you come from there? Are you going back there?" So she could talk this quickly? I was correct when I judges her eyes as inquisitive. She was indeed a curious cat.

"Easy with the questions," I told her as I chuckled in amusement.

I suddenly heard the sound of my phone's ring tone. I began to source for the device in my mind because it was definitely not vibrating in my pocket, I would know if it was. Where had I kept it?

Drake pulled out the device from his pocket then. He simply stared at the name on the screen before he looked up and addressed me. "Alpha."

I felt my mate's eyes of surprise on me at the title.

"Alpha," Drake said again, " I think the ex-Luna wants to speak to you," he informed me.

"Drake, my mother can wait. She has nothing to say to me after all. Please keep the phone away, on do not disturb mode, I do not want any form of distractions tonight."

"Yes, Alpha," My beta agreed. He unlocked the phone and tapped away on the device screen for a moment. Then he simply put it away in his pocket.

"Let us all go in and sit. I do not still understand why we are standing on ceremony because you found your mate who happens to be my sister's friend that she made on her way home here," My cousin brother said to me.

He was warning me that my mate was my cousin sister's friend and i had to near with it because of my earlier actions.

Lydia laughed in agreement. I groaned internally. Did i have to out up with all these? Why was my mate my cousin sister's friend? Could she not have been someone else's friend?

"Let us go in and sit down. Hmm?" I told the woman in my arms. She nodded in agreement and let me lead her towards the house with a hand around her waist.

Her waist was small and slender.

My hands fit around her quite snugly.

Drake followed behind us as expected of my beta while the rest walked ahead of us. I definitely did not want Lydia pestering my mate yet again.
