POV Dayanara.

I felt like I was being drained. I shot up with my eyes wide open. "Dayanara!" My mate exclaimed as he walked in. I got out of bed and all the memories came back to me.

Leah took control of my body and made her way towards the exit. Alexander tried to stop us but she growled lowly at him. Before he could reply, she darted out the door.

Leah picked up Daniel's scent and followed it. Another woman was about to pick him up but Leah jumped infront of him, growling at the lady. She took him in our arms and lifted him up.

"Tesoro, calm down." Alexander approached. Leah didn't appreciate it and gave him a warning growl, causing him to step back.

"Luna, put Daniel down and we can discuss this." The lady said, Leah didn't like being ordered around.

She noticed a warrior creeping closer to grab Daniel and gave him a roundhouse kick. It sent him flying into a tree. Jonathan approached as well and she hit him a little under his throat.

"Did you just take a kill shot at him?!" Mateo gasped.

"He's mine!" She growled loudly.

"Dayanara calm down, no one is going to take him away." Alexander stepped closer and Leah let him. But when he was about five feet away she growled.

Daniel placed his hands on my cheeks. "Daya, it's okay." He whispered. I felt Leah let go and I was back in control.

I looked at my mate and nodded. He sighed in relief and pulled us closer. "I'm sorry." I whispered as Alexander guided us back to the infirmary. "Something inside me snapped. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to him."

"It's okay, tesoro." He assured. I put Daniel down and told him to go back to the orphanage.

"I'm sorry." I said to the warrior and Jonathan.

"It's okay, Luna. We understand." The warrior assured before walking Jonathan to see the nurse.

"Luna, you're good to go. Just make sure to get enough sleep." The doctor walked in. Alexander and I made our way home.

We went to our bedroom and Alexander closed the door. He wasted no time before pushing me against it and kissing me. I happily replied to it and tangled my fingers in his hands.

I pulled back and he continued to trail kisses down my neck. He pulled me towards the bed and hovered me. I felt his grip tightening and gasped, knowing what he was about to do.

"Alexander!" I tried to stop him. "Alexander, no!" He jumped off me like he had been electrified. His blue eyes looked at me shocked.

"I'm sorry! Angelo just took control because he missed you!" He stammered.

"It's okay." I let out a breath. "Are you okay?" I asked, noticing the bags around his eyes.

"Just a bit tired." He waved it off. I got underneath the duver and held it up for him.

"Come here." I said. He laid down as well and rolled on top of me. "Are you-"

"Yes." He cut me off amd leaned his head underneath my chin, almost on my boobs. "Yes, I am using your boobs as pillow."

"Fine." I rolled my eyes. His arms wrapped around my waist and I placed my hand on the back of his neck. I kissed his forehead as my other hand traced random patterns on his back. "Are you comfortable?"

"I'm in the arms of my mate with my head on her breasts." He chuckled. "Of course I am."

"Good." I leaned back and dozed off.

~~~

"I'll be back soon." Alexander kissed my forehead. "You better keep her safe." He warned Valentina.

"Aye aye, Alpha." She saluted and he rolled his eyes.

"If anything is wrong, call me." He said seriously before leaving.

"Girl time!" His sister exclaimed and dragged me to the living room. "I have so much to tell you!"

"Like what?" I asked confused as we sat down.

"The things Alexander says about you." She grinned.

"All good I hope." I said nervously.

"When we had a family he told us he found his mate. He described you with so much love." She gushed. "He called you smart and dorky and precious and adorable!" She went on and on.

"That's sweet." I grinned.

"When he was a little boy, he used to pray for his mate's wellbeing. And that she would be happy with him ever though he can be a little tough to maintain sometimes." She smiled.

"That is adorable." I grinned.

~~~

"Alexander will be home in a few minutes, so I'm going home." Valentina smiled. "This was fun, we should do it more often."

"Yeah." I agreed. "I'll see you later." We hugged and she went on her way with her guard.

I went upstairs to the bedroom and changed into shorts and a singlet. "Dayanara!" Alexander's voice yelled as I heard the front door slam open. His feet came up the stairs in a quick pace and then the bedroom door opened.

"Hey, how was the meeting?" I asked with a smile as he stalked towards me. I gasped as he ripped my singlet and pushed me up against the door. One hand held my wrists as the other one pushed my hair to the side.

"What are you-" I cut myself of because I felt his canines sink in my neck. I gasped in pain and it intensified by the second. He withdrew his fangs and licked the blood before letting me go.

"YOU ASSHOLE!" I screamed at him. "You really marked me without my consent!" Tears pricked my eyes as my hand reached for my neck. A throbbing pain stopped me from thinking clearly.

"Daya, I-"

"You're sorry?" I scoffed. "Let me guess, Angelo took control again. Well you can tell Angelo to suck it because you really pissed me off this time." I shook my head in disappointment. "I'm sleeping on the couch tonight."

I grabbed my pillow, put on a new shirt and walked towards the door. "Wait no! I'll sleep on the couch." He objected.

"I'm going to sleep on the couch because I want you to lay awake all night, knowing that your mate is upset and cold and uncomfortable and that it is all YOUR fault!" I screamed before going out and slamming the door behind me.

I stomped down the stairs and went to the living room. I laid down on the couch and crossed my arms. I already missed Alexander's warmth. I cried in silence, hoping that sleep would consume me soon.

The yelling stopped and Dayanara's footsteps went down the stairs. After fifteen minutes, I sighed and got up.

I went downstairs as well and saw Dayanara laying on the couch. I picked her up and carried her to my room. I tucked her in my bed and then went up another flight of stairs.

"YOU MARKED HER?" I asked, barging into Alexander's room.

"Yes, so?" He asked calmly, laying on his bed.

"Why was she sleeping on the couch then?" I questioned. Marking was supposed be loving process and usually after that comes mating. It's doesn't happen often that your mate refuses to sleep with you, the mark makes the bond stronger.

"Did you forcefully mark her?" I roared and I heard Gabriel come up to the Alpha floor as well.

"YOU WHAT?!" He yelled.

"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!" Alexander yelled. "Where is she?"

"In my room, asleep." I answered. Alexander got up and walked towards the door but I blocked his way.

"Mateo, it's not your position to disobey your Alpha." I heard Angelo through his voice.

"But it is our position to protect our Luna." Gabriel joined my side.

"You two really think you can win from me?" Alexander smirked. "Challenge accepted." He smirked before charging at us.

Halfway through the fight Gabriel shifted into his wolf. When we realized that we couldn't win from Alexander, we fled to my room. If Alexander tries to come in and take Dayanara, he'd have to go through us.

Gabriel stayed in wolf form while I just laid on my couch. After we made sure the door was locked and there were pencils scattered on the floor infront of it, we went to sleep.
