Alexander's POV,
"I scheduled a meeting with the council," I said, and put my phone back in my pocket.
"They agreed to meet me out of nowhere?!" Michael was surprised.
We were on our way to the council, and he asked to schedule an appointment with the council for tomorrow because he was driving and couldn't do it himself. He needs to depend on me a little more. It will take a night to reach there because the place is far, so we are sleeping in a hotel for the night. It is my first time alone with my mate, and it sounds so nice.
"Seems like they were curious about you, too. sayingheard Dad telling the council why you ran away from your home pack, so far away to our pack." I kept my hand on his thigh and rubbed it.
"I see." his breath hitched when my hand moved.d a little upward. "Stop, A, lex. I am driving," He had said in a low voice.
"We can stop by a hotel for th,e rest of the day" a I let my hand go little more up.
"We won't be able to reach the council tomorrow if we stop now, please, Alex, I need to do it as soon as possible," he begged me. I sighed and took my hand back.
"What will you tell them?" I asked whi,le lookilooked him and he .looks a bit tired "I can take over the driving if you ,are feeling tired" I suggested.
"I will tell them everything that happened. From how I was treated differently by my previous head alpha to why I decided to tell them, now," he took a deep breath, and I felt his worry. "I am fine, I can drive."
"It won't hurt if you get a little dependent on me, you know. I am your mate, your alpha after all." I leaned my head on the car seat, but my eyes still did not leave him.
"I know... It's just hard," he gripped the steering wheel. "It's just hard to depend on someone when all this time, I have done everything on my own. I am sorry," he didn't have to apologize to me. "You don't have to be sorry for anything, Michael. You didn't do anything wrong, and I understand."
"Thank you" was all he said.
I am worried about him, he doesn't open up. He acts like he is an open book but he has a lot of secrets. I want him to open up to me. I am his mate and if I have to wait for that, then I will wait till the day I die.
"Don't be so worried about me," he chuckled, sensing my emotions. Yeah, you don't get used to another person invading your emotions and thoughts easily.
"It's just been a few days, Alex. I will open up, relax," he rubbed my thigh once before going back to driving. I pouted because I liked the warmth of his hand on my thigh. "Keep your hand on my thigh, again."
"Huh?" he was confused. His confused face is so cute! He looks like a lost puppy.
"I miss the warmth of your hand," he smiled. It was a genuine smile and it was so fucking cute!
"Your smile is cute," I said, sitting up and pecking his cheek, which took him by surprise, because he blushed. "You should smile more often, you look cute." I leaned back on the seat and looked at him with a dreamy smile, which, I think, he noticed because he blushed harder.
"Find a hotel for us to spend the night," he ordered me.
"Yes, beta," I took my phone and started my search for a hotel.
