The Alpha's Breeder ✔️ COMPLETE

Forty : Pupped

"I won't look like that until I'm over 2000 years old, Emira." Eros seemed quite amused at my creative imagination, because the corner of his handsome lips curled upwards in response.

2000 years old?

Are you kidding me?

"Eros, I don't even know if the earth will be around that long," I mutter underneath my breath, unsure of what my future is going to look like.

Since my lifespan is going to be elongated to match his, that means I will be living over 1000+ years. I'm not too sure I want to live for 1000 years.

What the heck am I going to do for that long?

Sit around and watch the paint dry?

No, seriously.

I would go nuts.

"There are plenty of things that we can preoccupy ourselves with," he said with this slight twinkle in his eyes that makes the hair on my arms stand on end.

I narrow my eyes at him.

He better not be thinking what I think he's thinking.

You know what, I'm not even going to ask.

I had a nightmare after reading his mind that first time. There's no way that I would want to do that again.

Sending him a warning glance, I tiredly plopped down onto the bed with a long sigh.

"Tired?" Eros asked, lips brushing against my ear while his arm circled around my shoulders to pull me up against him.

I shook my head and said, "No. Just overwhelmed."

And really, I was overwhelmed at the amount of people in this pack. Even my mouth felt stiff and strained because of trying to keep a smile on my lips the whole enter time.

It may have been a couple of hours, but I felt as if it was way longer than that.

I can't imagine how long it would be if we had completed the entire ceremony.

"Why didn't you tell me that you waived all the ceremonies?" I asked, trying to interrogate him before I forget. "I could have done a thing or two."

He glanced down at me and said, "I didn't want you to be too stressed over it. The ceremonies aren't important. You being my mate and Alpha Female is enough."

"But what are the pack members going to think of me?" I groan in disbelief. I know that their image of me isn't the greatest but, at this rate, I'm sure it won't get any better.

The words stubborn, lazy, useless and human seem to resonate in my head like a continuous mantra.

Do I even deserve their respect?

"You don't have to worry about what they think, Emira. You're the Alpha Female. There's no one you have to please...other than me," he said teasingly to lighten the atmosphere and make me feel better.

I heaved a sigh and chose to disregard the last of his words.

Eros hand stroked across my back, comforting me in the best way he knew how.

For some reason, I felt as if Eros was willing to back me up no matter what I did.

Wrong or right.

If I were to become enemies with the whole world, he would be the only person by my side, protecting me and supporting me the entire way.

At that thought, my chest felt tight.

"Why are you so good to me, Eros?" I mutter morosely, face pressed against the collar of his dress shirt like a sullen cat.
