I only own my OC Alex.
Alex POV
I awoke to being nudged, when I managed to open my eyes I saw Check looking at me with his reptilian eyes almost glowing with glee.
Shooting up I fell back a little as the alpha raptor barked in what sounded or at least felt like amusement.
When his strong muscular tail had wrapped around my back shivers danced down my spine as I shuddered making him cock his head at my odd 'dance'.
Getting to my feet I stood awkwardly watching him as he watched me, I knew he had taken steps into the mating ritual and as I had slept in his nest last night I had inadvertently accepted the first step of the mating ritual.
I shook my head at how this was absolutely ridicules, he was THE alpha male, and they needed to reproduce an heir. I am a human and can't lay eggs for him to raise as his raptor hatchlings.
And I had no idea how to solve this, no doubt by now the others had either left me behind in the helicopter as the kids had assumed me dead and the electric sprung to life making the phones usable...phones! If I could get back to the main building I could call for a copter to return and get me!
I grinned before focusing on the nozzle that had managed to appear a inch from my face.
"EEK!" I made a prey like noise making Check's pupils dilate slightly in instinct before he nudged the side of my face in confusion.
Raising my hand I noticed I was crying. Sniffling back the lump that settled in my throat I shivered only to be wrapped in a warm soft body of my 'mate'.
Purring he nudged me slightly in what I assumed was concern. Sighing I relaxed into the muscles around me for him to release a pleased growl.
"They left me. I know they thought I was dead, but my brother left without looking and I know he wouldn't leave unless he saw my body and knew I was dead. So he...he must not have been on the copter. That's the only explanation he must be dead..." I sobbed letting all my fear, anger and everything I was holding in. I released it all, and the only form of comfort was Check, so I was currently sobbing into his neck.
I knew he must have duty's, such as hunting and making sure the pack was ok but he was trying to court me into being a mate and so would most likely make sure I was happy before leaving for his pack because he wouldn't leave a potential mate.
Moments passed, followed by minutes, then hours and my sobs had ran out and finally I was left reduced to the occasional hiccup and I found myself smiling, although he was literally a killing machine he had purred and nudged or licked every one of my tears away making sure I was warm and safe.
And honestly it was the happiest I felt since this all began knowing he was here for me and although he couldn't understand me, he listened and comforted me in his own way which made me feel a warmth cover me inside with a slight fuzzy feeling covering my emotionally swamped brain.
My heart was pounding slightly faster every time he licked my tears away gently and it made me shiver each time. Not through fear though...it was a pleasurable buzz that coated my insides and skin in goosebumps.
