Taming Her Beastly Mate

Wait our mate? Where? In what direction? It was quiet on Yuki’s end for a moment before finally, Alexis heard her snort.

Alexis stayed perfectly still even though she could hear the panicked voices from around her.

It was only for a moment.I felt him for a split second when you were hit.

But it’s gone already.I can’t feel the pull at all.

There isn’t even a remnant of his scent.

But he was here...

Alexis groaned inwardly.But this did tell her something important.

He was there and watching her.

And this made her hopeful he did this often.She didn’t want him to know she had noticed him.

Nothing to put him on alert.She needed to pretend like she noticed nothing.She took in a deep calming breath.Then she opened her eyes and furrowed her brows looking at the sets of worried eyes above her.

"Raine, I am glad you are on our side." Alexis smiled as she began to sit up.

"Lex." Micah swung his arms around her, pulling her into his chest.

His one hand cradled her head against him while the other around her back.

"Micah..."

She could hear his panicked heart racing and his heavy breathing.

"I’m sorry I scared you.I’m fine.I was always fine.I was just...I’m sorry."

She couldn’t say what she was doing.

If Aken was nearby she didn’t want him to overhear.

Luckily, she understood it was something she didn’t want to talk about right now.

She felt him nod into her head as he patted her back.

"I’m just glad you are alright." He breathed out quietly.

"Are the kids okay?"

"Yes, they are fine.Raine, why don’t you take them away from the training area." Brian asked unable to go near the children on his own.

"Oh and Raine."

Alexis turned her head from the suffocating embrace of Micah.

"Let’s keep this between us." She winked at her cousin, who nodded in understanding as she led the children away.

"Let’s see how you look,"

Brian said leaning down towards Alexis.

Micah let out a low feral warning growl, snapping his dark agitated eyes at him.

"Check your beast man.It’s just me."

Brian chuckled and tilted his head to his friend.

Luckily, they all were very understanding of Micah and his emotional extremes.

When it came to Alexis, he had a hard time managing his outbursts.

Especially where her safety was concerned.

Alexis smiled and placed her hand on the side of his face.

She sent a gentle cooling wave over his body.

"Micah, remember you are the one in control here."

She smiled as she watched the light blue come back in his eyes.

This used to happen all the time in the beginning, but he was getting better at he was able to reel himself in fairly quickly.
