Welcome Home Mate
Chapter 40

BLAZE

I opened my eyes and stared back into the most amazing sight.

My mate was staring back, but her eyes widened as soon as she saw me.

"Hello, little mate," I said, leaning into her neck and inhaling her scent. "Finally, I get to see you."

I pulled back and stared back at her.

She gaped at me as she stared, but the realization came, and a slow smile slid across her face. "Blaze," she said softly. "It's nice to meet you." I smiled.

I love hearing her say my name.

I could feel Bex; she wanted to come through to talk to me. I wanted to talk and see her too, but it wasn't her I had to convince her to accept us.

My human is a dumbass, and he should have never been with all those women, especially after we found our mate.

I had an inkling that she might be our mate when we were young pups. I never questioned the moon goddess about why she picked us to be together, but it never bothered me. It didn't bother Lex; he had a stupid crush on her before he knew she was our mate but never acted on it because our mate was his best friend's sister and due to her age.

I shook my head to get back to her, and I needed to tell her everything.

"Blaze," she said before I could even start talking. "Why are you forward? Where's Lex?"

Well, I thought, at least she was not calling him Alexander anymore. I could feel Lex's smug grin plastered on his face.

I grunted but looked at her. "I wanted to talk to my mate," I said. "I want to talk about my dumbass human."

I heard a groan in my head, and I couldn't help but smirk. Damn right, jackass.

Roxie smirked. "At least I'm not the only one who thinks that then," she said.

I chuckled.

"No, you are not," I said.

"Hey," shouted Lex. "I can hear and see everything."

I ignored him.

I stared at Roxie. I didn't want her to move away from me. I knew Lex's hands were on her waist and kept them there. She calmed every inch of my soul, especially after that stupid Alpha had his hand on her. "Well, talk," she said with a smile.

I cleared my throat. "I don't know where to begin," I said. I thought for a moment but sighed. "Stupid human shouldn't have been with all those smelly women; they made me sick," I said. I couldn't help the shiver that ran through me. Every woman he had s*x with, I had to feel it all. Toward the end, he was constantly thinking about Roxie. "Human thought being with them would help him deal with my horniness, but it never did."

I looked at her as she bit her bottom lip. I had to gulp as I would love to taste her lips right now, but it wasn't the place or the time.

"I didn't make it easy for my human, though," I said. "When we discovered that you were our mate, I wanted to spend every waking day with you. I wanted to be with you, and so did human. But we knew you were too young to know about us. Papa told us we needed to send you away as we would be sent to jail, especially when I was ready to pounce on you every day."

Roxie kept her face neutral. Bex was close by, but not close enough for me to see her.

I wanted to talk to Bex, but I knew I had to win over her human first. She was the one who was hurt the most.

I stared at her for a moment. But Roxie sighed. "I can understand all that," she said, "I mean, I was young."

I could feel Lex move to the front, but not enough for Roxie to notice him. "Tell her about the spare room," he muttered, shame sweeping in.

I smirked and looked back at him. I wanted to tell her this when she was okay with us or when we were having a laugh one night. "You sure," I asked.

"Stop smirking," he muttered. "Tell her."

I looked back at her.

Roxie's eyes searched mine. "What did he say?"

I smirked. "Human wanted me to tell you what really happened in that room in your house," I said.

Roxie furrowed her eyebrows at me, "What do you mean by that? I know what he did; I heard him," she said.

I could feel the anger sweeping in through her.

I drew circles on her waist to calm her down, which helped a little. The mate bond was affecting me, but also Roxie too.

I cleared my throat. "Not what you think," I said, and leaned closer to her neck. Her scent engulfed me, but it settled me for a while. I felt like I was a part of her or something.

I licked my lips, but I knew I needed to carry on talking to her. "Human never had women with him in that room; he never wanted you to hear him with us, not even when you were younger," I said.

"That's a lie," she said. "I heard him, them even."

I smirked. "Oh, you heard something," I said as I inhaled her scent again but moved closer to her neck. I was mere inches from placing my human's mouth on her neck.

I could feel Lex, "Stop playing games," he said. "Tell her. And I will be kissing her, not you, with my mouth. You can wait till you are in your true form to kiss her."

I couldn't help but grunt. Touchy, I thought.

I sighed and moved slightly to look at my mate, but she had a confused face.

"Human never had women in that room," I said. "It seems there were some videos someone in your family liked to watch and never wanted to get rid of."

Her eyes stayed on me, but a few moments later, her eyes widened as if realizing what I was insinuating. "You mean to tell me that Lex watched porn in that room," she muttered. I nodded. "Yeah, little one, he did," I said.

Her eyes never left me, but she looked even more confused. "Most women would mention that they were with Lex," she said. I frowned. "Did they mention him by name?" I asked.

She looked blank for a few moments but looked back at me. "I heard a few moans," she said. "People moaning his name."

I shook my head. "I know when that stupid she-wolf was with him and would take advantage of him when he was low and wanted you, but he never would take her to that room, not when you were there," I said and swept my anger toward Lex, who knew I was pissed at him for what he was like with her. I knew his true feelings for Roxie, but he never once loved that other she-wolf. "But most of the time, your brother would have them in his room when the other women were there. He was the one who was with them. Human was on his own, with his hand."

Little mate stared at me. "I don't know whether to believe you," she said. "Seems like you would say anything to me to get me to be your mate."

Little mate stared at me. "I don't know whether to believe you," she said. "Seems like you would say anything to me to get me to be your mate."

I frowned.

"You're one stubborn human," I said, and little mate's mouth dropped open, but before she could say anything, I carried on. "I don't mean to be harsh, but you are. I am trying to tell you everything and it's the truth."

Roxie's eyes widened, but I carried on. "I never wanted any of those women, and never did Lex," I said. "When we turned a certain age, I was horny all the time when it came to your scent; I was ready to mark you. When Lex sent you away, I was angry with him. But over time, I knew it was the right thing to do. I was making it hard for him too."

I sighed.

"After you left, Lex never went near another woman," I said. Roxie watched me, but I stared into her eyes; I was willing for Bex to listen to me and hear me tell her the truth. "Lex told that she-wolf that you were his mate, and she accepted it. I mean, she nearly ripped him a new butthole. I thought she was over him, but it surprised Lex and me that she was acting like this, as she never bothered us when she found her mate. I don't know what changed, but whatever it is, we will work it out together."

I could feel Lex move closer to the front, watching through his own eyes as our mate's face changed slightly, but I could tell she was talking to Bex.

I couldn't wait to see Bex, but I needed to deal with the little one first.

Roxie looked back at me. "I think we can work things out, but we need to take it slowly," she said.

I couldn't help the beaming smile that appeared on my face.

"Don't rush me," she said with a small smile; she looked like she was about to laugh.

I nodded.

I looked back at Lex, who was smiling.

I sighed and looked back at little mate. "I let human come forward now," I said. "He listened to everything I had to say to you and even asked me to tell you about the videos in that room."

Roxie nodded but smirked. I leaned into her slightly, hovered over her lips, and placed a kiss on her cheek. The tingles rippled through us like electricity. It took all my doing not to ravish her in one.

I pulled back and closed my eyes. I pushed Lex to the front as I went back into his head. I had to kiss my mate; it may be the only time I can till she believes us.

My heart ached at the thought, but I didn't know if she believed us; I guess it was up to my human now to tell her and prove that we wanted her for our mate and Luna.
