Chapter Four

Alexa

Running through her apartment door the next afternoon, Alexa barely took the time to toe off her comfy sneakers before she ran toward the bathroom. She was late – late on a day she did not want to be running behind.

She needed to be at her brightest and her best.

Especially if she was going to meet her alleged mate’s family.

Flipping on the shower, she quickly tugged her plastic shower cap over her head. There was no time to wash her thick hair. It would take too long to dry. She’d have to just hope that her brush and blow dryer could work a minor miracle in the thirty minutes she had before Beau was scheduled to pick her up.

Nabbing her toothbrush, she squirted paste over it and turned to jump into the shower. She could do this. Multi-tasking was her middle name, she thought as she stood under the shower’s spray and brushed her teeth. She could allocate herself a full five minutes in the bath if she brushed her teeth and shaved her pits while here.

And with quick efficiency, she did exactly that.

She brushed, washed and cleansed in record time.

Toweling off four minutes later, she looked into the foggy mirror and grinned at her distorted reflection. Even through the misted glass, she could see her flushed cheeks and bright eyes. She looked excited. Which was little wonder since she was excited. Hell, excited was too mild a word.

She was thrilled.

Mostly because over the course of the several hours she’d been apart from Beau, she realized something. Something big. Something freaking HUGE!

And that was that she finally had a purpose.

Her whole life she’d pondered over why she was here. With unloving parents, a host of crappy ex-boyfriends, a cruddy job and a general lack of direction, it seemed like an excellent question to her. She’d speculated that perhaps her life was one giant test and that if she passed, maybe God would reward her with something better.

And in the last couple of hours, she’d convinced herself that she was right.

She’d decided that Beaumont LaForte and his family were her something better. Very much so. Heck, she hadn’t even met his family yet, and still, she was certain that they would be a far sight better than the family her parents had provided for her. She’d spent her childhood being belittled and criticized. Having a family that genuinely wanted her… a mate that wanted just her? Yes, that was definitely a reward that had been well worth waiting for.

So, she was going to embrace this whole mated-to-the-alpha situation with both arms and her whole heart. From what she could see and all she’d heard, Beau was a good man, and based on her experience with him, they were more than compatible – especially in bed. Life with him would be different, even difficult at times, but she wanted it. Or, more accurately, she wanted him.

And tonight, after she’d met his family and spent some more time with him, she’d let him know it.
