Alphas Broken Mate
Chapter 84

Catalina's POV

I must have fallen asleep because I woke up in bed next to Andrew. I know it's early from where the sun is outside, so I don't want to wake him. I decide to take a warm bath while I wait for him to wake up. I get out of bed quietly so I don't wake up Andrew. I get to the bathroom and run a warm bath. I get undressed and get in.

"Hey Hope. You ready to meet your mate today?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm excited to stretch my legs. Do you think he'll like me?" She asks.

"Of course he will. What's not to like?"

"I know, I just wanted to hear you say it." Hope giggles to herself.

"Will you still be all white?" I ask.

"Yeah silly. You are the white wolf even with me." She says. I wash my body and hair. I get out of the tub and wrap a towel around myself. I use another towel to dry my hair and walk out to the bedroom.

"Awe you got clean without me." Andrew says rolling over in bed.

"Well I didn't want to wake you." I say.

"I guess I'll just have to get you dirty all over again." He reaches for me and pulls me back into bed. He pulls me underneath him and I feel his weight on top of me. "No! You need to get clean too. Hope wants to run!" I say pushing my hands on his chest.

"Are you sure? We can shower after I've had my way with your body." He kisses my neck. Oh he knows my weakness. I clear my throat and try and sound serious.

"Yes I'm sure. Now go take a shower." I say.

"Fine, but you don't know what you're missing." He gets up and heads to the bathroom. I might need a cold shower after that. I get out of bed and get dressed. I make my way down to the kitchen and too my surprise I see snow on the ground. "Hope you get to play in the snow today." I say with excitement. I feel her excitement in the back of my mind.

"I can't wait." She says. I make Andrew and I some coffee. I hear him out of the shower getting ready.

"Andrew it's snowed!" I yell up the stairs.

"Really?" He yells back. He comes down stairs and looks outside.

"Running in the snow is always fun. You ready to go?" He asks.

"Sure why not." I say.

"The sooner you shift the warmer you'll be." He tells me. He opens the front door and the cold air hits me and chills me down to my bones. I need to shift as soon as possible. We walk out to the tree line and I waste no time. I get undressed and shift into my wolf. Hope stretches her paws in the snow. I'm instantly warmer.

"It's my thick fur." Hope says. She's right. Andrew's wolf, Mark, comes out from behind a tree. Mark is a just as big and beautiful as I remember. Hope goes up to him and rubs her nose on him. He rubs the side of his body on to hers. The snow crunching beneath our paws. Mark suddenly jumps back and crouch's wagging his tail. He hops around Hope in the snow.

"I think he wants you to chase him." I say.

"I think he wants to lose." Hope says. Mark takes off through the trees as Hope follows him. The cold air nips at my nose as we run through the forest. The soft snow crunching beneath my feet. The air smells so crisp and clean. Running in the snow is my new favorite thing. Hope was close behind Mark but she wasn't trying too hard to catch him. Mark slows down when he comes to a little frozen brook. Mark sits down and Hope sits next to him. Hope takes a closer look at the frozen water. She can see the water crystals. Suddenly a snow rabbit comes out from behind a bush. The rabbit freezes when it sees us, then hops away. Mark nudges Hope and takes off running back towards the house. We get back to the tree line and I shift back and get dressed as fast as I can.

"I'm running back to the house. I'm too cold out here." I yell at Andrew.

"So you are going to leave me out here to freeze to death?" He yells back. Then I have an idea. I take a deep breath and focus on a bush. Helia lights the bush on fire.

"There so you don't die." I say as I run towards the house laughing. When I get to the house I run inside and look out the window for Andrew. I see him come out from the trees and warm his hands by the bush. Then Helia extinguishes the bush. Andrew runs towards the house. "Where was this when we were blowing out all the candles?" He asks as he stomps the snow off his boots.

"Honestly I forget all the things I can do. I've only ever used Helias powers in battles. I've never used them in my daily life before." I turn to the fireplace and focus, and Helia lights the fire.

"Oh this will definitely be useful." I say.

"I agree." Andrew grabs a blanket and we cuddle up underneath it.

"We need to head back home soon."

"Why?" I ask.

"I think someone has some planning to finish."

"Rachel."

"Yeah she's been texting me." He says. I haven't even looked at my phone.

"Now I'm scared to look." I say.

"She just wants to finalize everything so she can send out the invitations." He says.

"So she knows?" I ask.

"She confessed why she was pushing so hard for the wedding and she helped me plan this." He admits.

"Oh so you're marrying me so my friend doesn't look like a whale at our wedding." I say folding my arms in front of me.

"I am marrying you because I love you and I want you to be mine in every possible way." Well that's a good answer. I smile at him.

"Do we have to go back right now?"

"No we can wait until after we eat. That run worked up an appetite."

"What do you want for lunch?" I ask.

"Let's make some pasta. Do you want chicken and Alfredo, or sausage and marinara?" He asks.

"Definitely sausage and marinara." I say. Andrew gets up from the couch.

"Do you need help?" I ask.

"You just relax. I've never fully cooked for you, and you should know what you are marrying." He smirks at me. I put on one of the Harry Potter movies and cuddle under the blanket. I hear Andrew working away in the kitchen and the smells coming out of there are heavenly. The more I smell the more hungry I get.

"It's ready!" I hear Andrew say after an eternity.

"Finally." I throw off the blanket and rush over to the table. Andrew laughs.

"Hungry?"

"Starving!" We set down to the table, the food Andrew has made looks so good. We eat and drink some wine together. Being with Andrew is so easy. It's like being with a version of me. I love how our relationship has grown and I look forward to our future together. After lunch a car comes and picks us up to take us back to the pack house. The lake house has easily become my number one favorite place now. The lake house hold all of my favorite memories.

When we get back to the pack house, I'm not surprised to see Rachel waiting. She greets us at the lobby door with Flora and Sarah, all looking just as excited as the next. I am surrounded by them and their questions.

"How did he ask?"

"Where you surprised?"

"Can I see the ring?"

"Where do you want to honeymoon?"

"When will you have kids?"

"When do you want the wedding?"

I tried to look over their heads for Andrew, but I'm not that tall. I regret coming home. They manage to usher me into the elevator and we head to one of the meeting rooms.
