My Mate Changed Me.

Chapter Ten: Easy Call?

 Christian walked me to the room I was supposed to be staying in and smiled at my face when he opened the door,

"I take it it's to your liking?" He asked with a smirk. I looked around with awe. This room looked amazing, like it should be a hotel the president would stay at,

"To my liking?" I asked with a laugh, "This room is amazing!" He chuckled and let go of my hand as I ran to the bed and threw myself on it, "This bed feels like heaven," I said as I closed my eyes, making him chuckle again,

"Well, this is your room for the rest of your stay, and I wasn't kidding when I said my room would be right next door, so if you need anything just holler," I nodded and sat up in bed. I was expecting him to leave but he just stood there staring at me until I cleared my throat, "I'll see you for dinner," he said, then walked out.

I sighed and got up to look around the room. There was a knock on my door and I walked to it slowly expecting to see the alpha again but when I opened the door I saw a maid standing there holding towels and some clothes,

"Oh, thank you," I said while taking them from her, she just smiled in return, bowed and hurried off.

I looked over the clothes and saw they were silk, and crimson, which happened to be my favorite color. It's also the color of the shirt I'm wearing so maybe that has to do with it. When I unfolded the clothes I saw that it was merely a pair of lace panties and a silk crimson sleeping dress that I highly doubt would go far passed my butt. I thought about taking a shower now but if this is what I'm going to wear afterward I'm taking one once I'm getting ready to call it a night. After about an hour there was another knock at my door but until the first after the knock who ever it was opened the door and smiled. Cristian.

"Dinner is ready," I nodded and stood walking over to the door,

"How many people will we be dining with?" I asked stepping out of the room before he shut the door,

"Oh, I'm not going to make you eat in front of a bunch of people you don't know, we can bring our food back up here and eat in my room, if you'd like," He said it friendly and I thought it over. I really didn't want to eat in front of a bunch of werewolves I don't know,

"Sounds like a plan," I said with a smile and he set his arm over his chest so that I could hook mine through again, and I did.

He walked me to the kitchen where several maids were working hard over stoves and counters. Once they saw Christian they instantly bowed,

"Alpha Darkwood," They all said together and he waved them off. They resumed their duties and soon had a full tray set in front of us, "Thank you," he said as he picked it up with one hand and tugged my arm with his, leading me back to his bedroom, "I wasn't sure what you liked, but I got a varieties of meats, fruits and vegetables," Christian said as he put the food down on a table in his room.

"That's fine, thank you," I said as he pulled out my chair for me then pushed it in as i sat,

"it's not a problem at all Celine," Christian smiled as he poured us glasses of what appeared to be wine. He set an empty plate in front of me and put the tray with food in the middle of us, "Would you like for me to serve you?" He asked with a kind smile and I shook my head,

"No, that's fine," I mumbled while looking over the food. I went with roast beef and some green grapes on the side, while he went with nearly everything that was on the tray. He caught me staring at his plate with wide eyes and smiled brightly,

"Don't worry, soon enough your appetite will kick in," He said softly and I swallowed the bite of beef that was in my mouth and looked down at my stomach,

"Oh great," I groaned and he laughed,

"And our metabolism is extremely faster than humans so I highly doubt you'll gain any weight," Christian said reassuringly and I exhaled loudly,

"Well that's good," I said, taking another heavenly bite of roast beef. He looked at me with something like admiration in his eyes and I found that little bit of meat hard to swallow. I took a sip of wine to help and he carried on eating as if nothing happened. Maybe nothing did happen...I'm just over reacting...I mean come on Celine...

"I thought for sure you'd take a shower before dinner," he said with a hint of something that sounded like disappointment in his voice,

"Uh, well I usually take one right before I head off to bed," I said not looking up at him. He nodded understandingly and continued eating, "So...how many others are here?" I asked trying to keep talk going so it doesn't get awkward,

"Right now, not that many, maybe fifteen. There are normally thirty, but I had a small group head out with Roger," He said, sounding relieved that i started up some sort of conversation,

"Ah, so what's going to happen when Roger returns?" I asked finishing off my beef, which wasn't really a big piece to begin with,

"I'll have him look over your mark and we'll figure it out from there," I nodded as he finished and bit my lip,

"So, you've never really seen a mark this big before?" I asked, already knowing the answer,

"Personally? No," he said simply and I stayed quiet, "But I'm sure someone has, don't worry, we'll get answers," He said giving me a smile,

"Should I be worried?" I asked,

"Well, if I were Jem and you were my mate..." He seemed to be thinking the scenario over and a coy smile played at his lips, "I'd never let you leave my sight...you know, because I have no idea what to think of your mark," He said, "But of course that's just what I would do if I were your mate," he said deeply enough to send a shiver down my spine. If he were my mate I have a feeling we wouldn't just be eating right now...if you know what i mean, by he way he's looking at me I can tell he was thinking the same thing,

"well, I'm actually getting pretty tired, I'm just going to head to the shower and then to bed," I said rising from my seat, he did the same,

"but you haven't even finished your wine," Christian insisted and I looked down at my nearly full glass,

"I'm not really a wine person," I admitted while he walked around the table toward me,

"You should have told me, I would have got champagne instead," he said seriously,

"Oh, that's okay," I said backing up until my back hit the door,

"Celine, you're backing away from me like I'm a lion," he said with a deep chuckle,

Might as well be...I thought to myself, "I...I just really want to take a shower," I said lamely and he gave a sexy half smile...no, not sexy, he's not sexy. He stalked toward me and I found I was having trouble breathing.

He walked slowly to me but was right in front of me in a matter of seconds. He put his arms up and rested his hands on either side of my head, and leaned toward me. His lips came closer and closer until they grazed mine and that's when everything clicked and I pushed him away as hard as I could. He must not have gotten rejected before because he looked nothing but surprised,

"Stay away from me," I whispered, although I'm sure he heard. I ran next door to my room and instantly got Jem's cell phone. i looked under the contacts and found Jem2, When i hit call and put the phone up to my ear I thought about what i would say,

Hey Jem, you'll never believe what just happened, the Alpha just tried to kiss me after I agreed to have dinner with him in his room where no one else would be...just the two of us... Yeah...I don't think so...
