All Aston and Jazmin knew was that they would have to handle preparations the next day for the family to come for dinner and a meeting with the elders. With that in mind, for the night, both Aston and Jazmin finished getting ready for bed. Jazmin was already in her pajamas and got into bed while she waited for Aston to join her.
They were both feeling slightly nervous; this was a new step for both of them as mates. Aston wanted to be polite and considerate of Jazmin. He stayed in his room when he was in her family's pack. He didn't wanna be rude and expect her to sleep in his bed just because they were mates. He was more of a gentleman than that.
Aston turned the lights off before getting into bed. He was unsure if he should attempt to cuddle with Jazmin or if it would bring her comfort. "Goodnight, Jazmin. Sweet dreams, love."
"Thanks, you as well, Aston." She smiled.
Jazmin woke up to Aston's arm tightly wrapped around her. She questioned what time it was. The sun was up. Surely, Aston had important morning Alpha things to do. Jazmin decided she would wait for him to wake up, even if she had to pee.
"Morning, princess!" his gruffy voice startles Jazmin, and he chuckles at her reaction. He was awake, and she didn't even realize it. She questioned why she didn't sense he was awake. How foolish of her. Her senses were better than that.
"Don't you need to be up doing important Alpha stuff?" she asked.
A moment of silence passed before he answered, "I choose how my schedule goes. Not the other way around."
"Oh, well, in that case, wanna eat breakfast together?"
He smiled with a slight chuckle, "Of course. You should never question asking it. For now, let's enjoy this moment of comfort and peace."
Jazmin was happy, blissfully happy with his words. The peace of being held by him, the bond made her feel alive in a new way, a way she wanted to always treasure.
