The Alpha's Young Mate novel Chapter 29

Clayton's POV

My wolf is on high alert, I'm not sleeping out here with Rose, even if I haven't got sleep for the past four nights.

I can't risk anyone hurting her. She is my life.

I look down at Rose as she sleeps, while my ears are alert and listening for anything. She truly is a beautiful wolf. Most say pure white wolves are the prettiest, they clearly never seen one like Rose's.

I hear rustling and I growl slightly as my eyes shoot up from Rose to the woods around us. I sniff the air, but I don't smell anyone.

I look back down at Rose when she snuggles closer to me.

God, I can't bare to think that someone would want to ever hurt her. That dumb message worries me, was it meant for Rose?

I growl at the thought and Rose moves slightly.

I shut up, so I don't wake her and lay my head down as I vert my eyes around to watch for any danger.

The sun starts to slowly rise in the sky as I get up and get a drink of water from the streams - I never spent a full night as a wolf and wow it was nice.

I then look at Rose's wolf as she sleeps soundly.

I walk over to her and nudge her face with my nose.

She growls quietly and ignores me. I chuckle in my head as I nudge her again and she growls before opening her eyes.

She looks at me before she gets up and stretches.

'What time is it?' She asks through mind-link.

'Around 6 I think.' I answer as I start to head back to the pack house. I leave the candles, blanket, and pillows; I can get them later.

She follows me as we walk through the woods.

'Did you sleep?' She asks, I look back at her.

'No.'

She rolls her wolf eyes at me, 'When we get back to the pack house I'm forcing you to at least take a nap. You haven't slept for the past four nights.'

'I'm not taking a nap Rose.'

'Yes you are.'

'No I'm not.' I argue back.

'Yes.' She says. I shake my head, 'No.'

'Yes.' She says growling at me.

'You can't make me, so no.'
