Alana's POV.

Kai was so close that when he said those words, his lips almost brushed against mine and sending my mind into a bit of frenzy. Sensing my desires and how much my heart was pulsing, he leaned in further before his lips lightly caress the exposed flesh of my neck in a feathery kiss and then leaned away.

“Let me see you, little mate” His voice dark and husky. 

A shiver ran down my spine at his request and I let out a quiet gasp as waves of desires mixed with fears surged through me, leaving me dazed and wanting to fulfill every one of his wishes but the little voice at the back of my mind won’t let me do it.

No matter how much I wanted to be seen by him, I still couldn’t bring myself to show my face to him without feeling like I would be judged and persecuted for it.

Turning my face away, with outstretched hands, I pushed against his chest hard, “i…I can’t! Please let me go”

I gasped with pleasure and pain when his hand grip my right wrist hard before his other hand turned my chin around to face him, “I don’t know why you are hiding from me but I promise not to hurt even a single hair on your head. You are my mate and that means I get to love and protect you with my life, so please trust me okay?”

I nodded, totally afraid that if I open my mouth to answer, only a weak whimper would sip through.

At my wordless reply, Kai leaned in after a while and claimed my mouth in what I could easily describe as a soul shattering kiss. Our tongue met and got tangled in a heated dance as he continued to drive me crazy, his touch igniting fire underneath my skin as I burn and melt against him.

Kai was completely gentle as he claimed my body as his, my wolf purring in utmost pleasure and want as our body became one. His embrace and kisses was nothing like I had felt before. It was consuming yet exhilarating at the same time. 

I didn’t want to be separated from him ever again, I wanted our body to be joined together like that forever, with him filling me up and driving us both to the edge of our desire without holding back.

Kai was mine as much as I was his, letting me explore every part of his body that was new to me. Kai was built like a demi god, his rock abs like a sculptured figurine to every one of my touches

He was perfect in every which way I could imagine but as I laid naked and wrapped up in his warmth that night, I knew I would very much live to regret this day. It was hard not to, after all, I was still the traitor’s daughter and he, my soon to be Alpha and we don’t match even though we are mates.

**

It’s been three days since I was claimed by Kai that night in his bed. Suzy told me how he has been going crazy in search of who his mate could be after he woke up and found his bed empty.

A lot of people think he has imagined the whole thing. Some even tried to present themselves as me but Kai never settled for any one of them. A decision that only filled me with more dread.

A part of me wanted to go out and reveal myself to him and another part knew I’d be risking too much. I don’t think he would be so desperate if he knew who I was. Heck, he'd probably cuss me out before I say my name so I stayed away, buried deep into the four corners of my parents house just like I have always done these past couple of years.

Days turned into nights and the search of who I could be had faded away, at least that was what I thought until one faithful evening when I heard a knock at my door step. Thinking it was my best friend Suzy, I rushed and unlocked it only to have Kai starring right back at me

“You!” I managed to breathe out, my hands still holding on to the doorknob.

His eyes took me in as though he was committing every detail to memory before his brilliant blue eyes locked with mine and a smile curl up the corner of his lips slightly.

“So beautiful, I bet our pup will look just like you”

I swallowed a saliva and took a step back, “What are you talking about? How…how did you find me?”

He closed the gap between us and I stumbled backward, my back hitting the chair behind, halting me. Kai took one long stride and stood before me, his height towering over my small statute.

He leaned forward, eyes narrowed into slit, “How long did you think you were going to hide from me, Alana?”

I gasped, the sound of my name rolling off his tongue a surprise to me. How did he know my name? Did Suzy tell him about me? No, it couldn’t be. Suzy would never betray me this way but how did he??

Kai must have read the questions on my face as he began to speak again. “I knew it had to be you when I couldn’t find you in the town hall among everyone else”

'I told you it was a bad idea staying away from our mate' Vel has so reminded me.

I pushed her voice to the back of my mind as i bite down at my lower lips in realization. Of course, that’s one way to know. Even though I was part of the pack, I wasn’t allowed to be part of the gathering just like the rest of the people.

I was still the pack outcast.

I exhaled a shaky breath, my gaze darting to the floor to avoid looking into his alluring blue eyes. “What…What do you want?”

“I want what’s mine, Alana. You’re mine!”

I let out a chuckle, not sure I heard him correctly, “I'm not yours nor am i what you wa…” I didn’t get to finish the statement before his hand suddenly reached out and grab my wrist, pulling me to himself, his lips coming down just as swiftly to crash against mine, totally stealing my breath away.

His lip began to kiss mine just as roughly, as if he was trying to prove something, his wordless demands said more than enough as his tongue moved into my mouth and tangled against mine in what I could describe as an enjoyable dance, causing an unexpected moan to slip out my lips just as loudly.

I lost my sense of self and surrounding as he continued to deepen the kiss some more, my hands wandering into his mass of dark hair and pulling mindlessly at it, my system became heated, leaving my knees to feel like jelly fish.

He stops after a while and then held my chin just as roughly, urging me to look at him, my heart still racing within my chest,  “You’re mine, Alana, and no one else’s. Only I am allowed to touch and make you feel this way. If any other man so much as look at you wrongly, I will rip their fucking eyes out, understand?”

I blinked a couple times and gave a small nod, fearing that if I opened my mouth to speak, nothing but a weak whimper would seep through and I don’t want him to see me as weak and helpless even though my already triggered nerves seems to be going up in flames at our very intimate proximity.
