Chandler's POV

We finally got down to the lobby with lots of stares along the way. Alright I totally understand that I look awkward being with Clay. I mean come on he's pretty much a greek god and I'm just plain Jane.

"You really don't believe that do you?" I looked up at Clay as he pushed the hospital doors open. He had his eyebrow arched looking down at me.

"Look at you and then at me. We don't exactly compare." His eyebrows raised and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Your right." Wow thanks for sparing my feelings. He let out a little chuckle before speaking again. "Your 110% better than me. Its the other way around. I don't deserve you." Gosh dang him. He always knows what to say to make me feel like I'm the most important thing in the world. "Its because you are the most important thing in the world. And yes, I know the words that will get you every time." I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Don't let it go to your head there babe. Cockyness isn't attractive on you." We got to his camaro and he sat me on the hood. He leaned forward forcing me to lay back onto the car.

"Its called confidence and I only have that when your by my side." He winked down at me and then captured my lips in a kiss. Oh how I've missed these lips. He let out a deep throaty chuckle and lifted back up. "I absolutely love your thoughts. I could hear them all day."

"Ugh, this is gonna drive me crazy. I keep forgetting about it." I sat up forcing him to stand up straight. "Is it always going to be like this? I'm not saying I hate it. Its just that some thoughts are personal you know." He smiled down at me and brought his hand to my cheek.

"It'll get better I promise. You just need to practice. I'll help you. Remember the wall. Once you start doing it over and over it will be like second nature to you." I let out a breath of air and layed back down. When I took a deep breath all the scents of outside came to me. I sat up on my elbows and looked at a smiling Clay. "Cool isn't it. Have you noticed anything else?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just sit there for a second and be quiet. Just see what you notice." I did as he said. What am I supposed to notice. I closed my eyes and waited. How can anyone focus on being quiet when there's people talking so loud. I opened my eyes to see where these people are and my eyes landed on a group of kids across the road at the diner.

"Whoa, I can hear them." I looked up at Clay and pointed across the road. He let out a laugh and sat next to me.

"Believe me it can get annoying sometimes. But it comes in handy too." I thought about that. I guess it would be pretty useful.

"This is so mind blowing. I don't know how you are just so chill about it." I leaned my body into his side and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Its cause this is like breathing to me. I've lived like this ever since I can remember." He brought his hands together and put his hand down. "I'm sorry that I did this to you. I guess it wasn't such a good idea to be with me was it." I lifted my head and looked at him.

"Hey." He didn't respond. So I stood up with my body protesting with every movement I made. I went infront of him and lifted his head. "I would never regret being with you. This is a part of both of our lives now. It makes you you and I love everything about you. So it just makes it more exciting for me." A small smile started to play at the corner of his lips as he put his hands on my hips and pulled me closer to him.

"Well, no matter what you say, I still feel like-.before he could finish I brought my finger to his lips.

"Don't be ridiculous. I don't want you to regret this. I mean I don't regret it but, if you do that's something different." I tried to back away but he stopped me by wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I'm just worried that your gonna regret all of this. I would never regret anything with you." He put his head on my chest and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Good cause now that you have me. You can't get rid of me. I have powers now to, so I can keep up with you." He lifted his head and looked into my eyes and smiled.

"I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing." I smacked his shoulder and he let out a deep chuckle. "I'm just kidding. But it's gonna be pretty fun with you now. Not that it wasn't before. I just don't have to worry so much about you getting hurt."

"Oh well thanks for the confidence boost there."

"You know why I felt like that. I'll never stop worrying if your alright or not but, its good to know you can fight someone off now. No fighting though, I'd rather you just run away." He started to rub circles on my lower back as I brought my hands up to his face and placed them on each side.

"I'll only runaway if its absolutely nessacary. But if anything is happening to you I'm not just going to run away and not help you. We're in this together now." He raised his eyebrow.
"I can already tell your gonna be very stubborn about this."
"Only as stubborn as you." He shook his head and chuckled a little. He slid forward on the hood and stood up without releasing me and I moved my hands down and rested them on his arms. He looked in my eyes and smile slightly.
"I've missed these eyes." I smiled as he brought one of his hands to the side of my face. "Do you know I love you?"
"Hmmm nope, I didn't think you liked me at all." We both laughed a little.
"Hmmm I think your right actually." He started to laugh as I punched him in the arm.
"Your lucky I don't just leave you here and make you go home." He pullled my body closer to him and leaned his head down closer to mine.
"You can't get rid of me that easy." He then closed the distance and captured my lips in a kiss. He bit my bottom lip for entrance and I did't let him. He let out a low growl from his chest. I giggled and finally gave into him. He threaded his hand through my hair and held on tight to me. I brought my habds to his hair and did the same to him. How I've missed him being this close. I don't know how long we were like that until we heard the clearing of someones throat. We broke apart at looked to see my parents.
"Well i'd hate to interupt your little reunion but, let's stop before I become an early grandfather shall we." My dad eyed the both of us and I hid my red face in Clay's chest as he nervously laughed at my dad.
"Oh Roland stop that. You would have done the same thing to me if we were in that situation." Both me and Clay laughed as my dads face went a little red.
"That's a different matter. Anyways let's get you home sweetheart. You need to get some rest. I think you need some to Clay. You've claimed Chandler now so you won't be able to leave her for a few nights until you get used to being apart from eachother. I think school will help you do it a bit easier. But we gotta take it slow so it doesn't drive you both crazy." Was it just me or was that a heck of a lot of information. Clay laughed a little after hearing my thoughts.
"Alright sir. I hope that's alright with you. I don't want you to feel any obligation to me." Wow Clay, you are amazing. My dad took a step forward and put his hand on Clay's shoulder.
"Son, your family now. You've also saved my daughters life. I am forever in your debt. Its our pleasure to have you apart of our family." Whoa, dad is really taking this pretty good. I didn't expect that.
"Well thank you sir. I love your daughter more than anything. I'd never let anything happen to her." My dad smiled and nodded.
"I know you wouldn't. Believe me I know. I'm glad my daughter found you and not some piece of scum." We all laughed and decided that it was time to go home. So since I'm not able to be seperated from Clay I rode in his car and my parents followed us.
Clayton's POV
"My dad was a lot more chill than I thought he would be about that." We just left the hospital and are on our way to Chandler's house.
"Yeah he was. It's only because he knows what its like after you'be claimed your mate. So I guess he's giving us a bit of pity." I already know this is going to be hard. The connection between us is stronger than ever. Then adding on that we will soon be the alpha male and female. Its gonna be a lot to take on.
"Pity? Why would he pity us?" I looked over at Chandler and she had a worried look on her face.
"Well after we claim our mates its really hard for us to be apart. The bond between two wolves is very strong. Its a little worse with two that are alpha's." She nodded as I looked back forward to the road. Oh I knew she'd hate me after this.
"If you really think I would hate you about this you don't really know me Clay." I looked at her and she was giving me a disaproving look. "Please don't think that I can't handle this stuff. Yeah all of this is a little strange and hard. But we can get through it together. I want to do this with you. So please don't doubt my feelings." How did the spirits decide that this girl should be my mate. She's so much more calm than I am. I guess it is a pretty perfect match. "Yeah I would say the same thing." I looked over at her and she was smiling.
"Dang, you weren't supposed to hear that." We both laughed as I pulled into her driveway. "I don't know why I'm not able to control some of these thoughts. You'd think I've had no practice."
"Don't be emarrassed. It's nice to know what your thinking now and then." She smiled at me as I got out and came to her side to open the door. I quickly picked her up out of the car and engulfed her in a hug. "What's this for?" as she let out an angelic laugh. 
"For being you. Just don't tell anyone about me going soft. I wouldn't be to much of an alpha if they thought I was this big emotional baby." She brought her soft hands to my face and smiled again.
"I won't tell a soul. This side of you is only for me and no one else." And with that she gave me a light kiss. 
"Alright you two, get inside and get some rest." Chandler's dad walked by my car and shook his head at us. I know this is hard. He's got two kids who have found they're mates and that are claimed to them. Yeah you heard me right. Danny and Suzie decided that he would claim her a couple of weeks ago. Our parents weren't to happy about it. Which reminds me I have to tell Chandler about that.
"What's on your mind babe?" I looked down at Chandler and realised I had zoned out.
"Oh sorry I just remembered something I had to tell you. Your brother claimed my sister a couple of weeks ago." After I was done Chandler's eyes went wide and her jaw dropped.
"What? Are you kidding me." I shook my head at her. She looks exactly like her father did when he found out. Well she looks like all of our parents actually. "I can not believe that. My and your parents actually agreed for them to do it so soon?" 
"Actually they did it while you were in the hospital and didn't tell either one of our parents." 
"Oh my gosh, were your parents pissed?" She got all nervous. 
"Well my parents had mixed feelings. I mean yeah they were pissed as hell they did it without telling anyone. But he did save my sister. But your parents weren't to happy. I mean they love my sister and are happy she'll be fine. But I seriously think your dad could have killed your brother." As I told Chandler all of this her mouth just remaind open.
"Oh my gosh that's why my dad was totally fine with this. I mean you did ask for permission didn't you?"
"Are you kidding me. I would never do anything with you without asking your fathers permission. I saw how pissed he was with Danny. I don't want that coming after me" She started to laugh. Yeah I may be the alpha. But I'm not going to mess with a father and his daughter. 
"Ok good. Cause I'm glad my dad was fine with that. I wouldn't want him mad with you." That's all she's worried about. She didn't care that she was actually dying and her dad was pretty much begging me to do it. It's not that I didn't want to. I just wanted her to agree with it before I actually did. Cause I want to be tied to her every way possible. I guess she did agree but, hearing the words would have been a lot better. "Could you stop worrying about that. Cause when you worry your wall drops and I can hear everything you think. I agreed and so did my parents. No shush and let's go inside." 
"Yes ma'm, Hop on my back and I'll carry you in." She raised her eyebrow at me. "Hey it's this way or bridal style. Which one do you prefer." I sighed and shook her head and jumped on. 
"You worry to much." She placed her head on my shoulder. "Your probably as weak as me right now. With your lack of sleep and nutrition." I looked at her in the corner of my eye as I walked up the stairs and into the house. "Yeah don't think I didn't know. I heard my parents say you needed to eat and you never did." 
"You could hear us?" That means she heard what I said to her that one night. 
"Yes I could. And yes I did hear you." I got a little nervous as I started up the stairs to her room. "I tried my hardest to answer you. But my body wouldn't let me." Well that's good.
"What would you have said?" I really said all those things cause I was scared to death that I wouldn't have all that with her. She gave me a sweet sigh as I entered her room.
"That I wold love to marry and have kids with you. Don't think I forgot about your promise about country music." Of course she would hear that.
"Dang you remembered." She laughed as I sat her on her. I let her get comfortable on her bed and then I slowly climb on next to. Being careful not to shift her to much so her muscles don't ache. As she layed her head I straddled her and starred down at her eyes held a smile. "I ment all those things. I wouldn't have them with anyone else. You are what I never knew I always wanted." Then she wrapped her arms around me and pulled me down closer to her. Never in my life did I think that I would want all of those things. But with this girl. I want all of those and more.
"No one will understand how much I love you. You are my weakness." With that she kissed me sweetly. 
"And you mine." I layed down on my side as she cuddled into me. That's when I finally fell asleep with the love of my life in my arms.
