We sat outside the dress shop. Owen kissed my cheek. “Good luck,” he whispered. Giving him a quick thank you, I got out of the car and went inside. There stood a beautiful brunette. She turned to me with a massive smile on her face.
“You must be Mel.” She hugged me. “I am Owen’s mother, Vanessa. You have no idea how long I have been waiting for you.”
“Sorry, we got around as quickly as we could. It was a long night last night.”
“No, darling! I mean, it has always been my dream for Owen to find his mate.” She let out a laugh.
Vanessa was beautiful. She was slim, and her brown hair cascaded down her back. Her amber eyes glowed like Owen’s. There were five dresses on a rack. Vanessa explained I would try each on; then, she will pack the one that was perfect up so I could wear it tonight. I stared at
“Rachel, go, do your make-up. She doesn’t need anymore!” Leana yelled at Rachel as she tried to add eyeshadow.“Mom, it’s fine. She barely has any. The only thing I did was her eyes. I did a smoky eye; I am just putting in a little silver to add some depth.” Rachel rolled her eyes at her mother.“Thank you, everyone. I feel so loved.” I smiled at all of them. There was a pain in my heart. Someone was missing, a small part of me wanted my mother here, but even more, I wanted my twin. She was missing this, and I felt guilty for living without her. I know that’s silly, but it still felt off. She was a couple of minutes older than me, so I didn’t know my life without her.Leana and Rachel still had their make-up to do so, Vanessa and I left the room. “Are you feeling nervous?” She asked, handing me a glass of champagne.
I helped him remove his cufflinks when I realized the initials D.W., I smiled. These were Owen’s fathers. Taking extra care of them, I walked over to where the case for them lay and placed them inside—making sure to give Owen a view by swaying my hips. Turning back, I caught Owen licking his lips; he quickly removed his jacket, shirt, and pants. “Come here.” His voice was breathless, and he seemed to be in a trance. I walked over to him, slowly removing the pins from my hair. Letting the curls cascade down my shoulders. Owen whispered a curse before closing the distance between us.His hands roamed my sides, my back, before coming to the clasps in the front. “I want you naked, but I don’t want this off you. Mel, you look like-““I belong in a window in Amsterdam?”“Like a succubus. You’re not allowed in any windows anywhere. A
OwenHolding Mel in my arms was one of the greatest feelings. Memories of last night ran through my mind, her dress, her eyes, what was under her dress. I have never seen her look like that, she was always beautiful and sexy, but last night was beyond that. She looked like a centerfold model; all I wanted to do was stare at her.Looking at her, I ran my fingers over her back; she had a few red marks; still, but they should fade by the end of the day. Running my fingers down her arms, I thought about how she looked tied down to the bed. All the noises she made through the gag.Mel started to stir; she was waking up, which was good. My mother had asked me about going to breakfast with everyone, but I wanted some more time to enjoy my mate. It seems people are always surrounding us, “it’s only going to get worse if we take over that pack.” Storm’s voice
Owen was in the hospital for three days. They said he was fine to fight, but he could be slower. My heart sank at the thought of losing Owen. I loved him; he was my mate. Owen walked out of the hospital, and we walked to an SUV. Derrick wanted to show us the cabin they fixed up for us. In the last three days, I had refused to leave Owen’s side. Rachel brought me a change of clothes and talked to me while Owen slept. The cabin was off the main road. It would take thirty minutes to get from the cabin to the packhouse.The cabin appeared to be an old. There were two bedrooms; Derrick suggested one could be an office. As we walked in, there was a small L-shaped kitchen to the left. The kitchen had upgrades, beautiful furnishings, and usable, but smaller than I am use too. A rectangular table sat n
OwenI felt the wind rushing through my fur, I quickly caught up to the others and now I’m running alongside Derrick and the other alphas. My mind kept going back to Mel. I hated to see her sad. But I was doing this for us, for her safety. With Charles gone, no one would threaten her, and after the other wolves of that pack watch me fight him, they will submit.Mel’s scent still lingered in my mind. She always smells sweet, like a mixture of vanilla and honey. Thinking of her scent caused me to think about her body and last night. How her breasted bounced as she rode me, the way she begged me to spank her while I took her from behind, and the way her eyes rolled back as she orgasmed when I choked her.“Can you stop? I am trying to run in the opposite direction of her; if you keep it up, I will turn around.” I couldn’t help but chuckle at Storm.
OwenThere was less exposure to silver from the nails than the knives, so I was healing quicker. When I woke up in the morning, there was still a gash, but it looked days old instead of hours. I was about to call Mel when there was a knock at the door.Opening it, I saw the same women from yesterday. “Sorry to bother you, Alpha, but we have breakfast ready.”“Okay, thank you?”“Jennifer.” She smiled at me, then turned and walked back towards the stairs.Quickly, I showered and dressed. When I walked downstairs, I was surprised that everyone was working on cleaning up the packhouse. As I approached, everyone turned to face me.“Good morning,” I said, feeling a bit awkward at the silence and stares.“Good morning, Alpha. We started c
Owen is supposed to come home tomorrow, and I could not contain the excitement. The school session returned, and there was one week before ‘dead week’ then finals week, followed by a break. I spoke with Dr. Jacobs about possibly finishing my dissertation online. I also told her that I got married. She was shocked, to say the least, but very happy for me.It was a long drive back to Derrick’s pack. It took almost two hours if I didn’t have to do Luna training with Leana I would see about moving into the apartment above the club. My body felt run down and sluggish. It was probably from all the driving.As I pulled up in front of the packhouse, my phone rang. I looked at the I.D. and saw Owen’s name when I did my heart fluttered. We didn’t talk much when I went back to school. This is the first time I have been able to answer his call in two days.“Hell
It’s the second week of Owen being so far away; he called this morning telling me he wasn’t going to be able to make it again. Lately, he has seemed distant. I know I haven’t been much better. It is just as hard to get a hold of me as it is him.After helping Leana with the pack duties for the day, I went straight home to go to sleep. It seemed like the only thing I did anymore was work and sleep. Vanessa was going to come for Sunday brunch and told me she would be at the house at 10. Even though Vanessa and I only have known each other for a couple of weeks, we are already very close. She tells me I am the daughter she always has dreamt of having.I go to bed around 8, hoping that enough sleep will get me back some of my energy.My alarm went off at 9. I was shocked at how long I slept. I quickly got ready and began to make brunch. There were only two of us, so I made saus
