“Oh um, maybe if it was anyone else but Rif and Grace have been like brother and sister for years. I wasn’t as close to Rif, but I grew up with him too. There has been nothing romantic between them. Completely friendship.”“She isn’t lying. He is like my brother.” I shrugged as Rif nodded.“We fight like cats and dogs. I’ve never thought of her that way,” Rif said as lunch was being served. They put a variety of cold cut sandwiches on the table with different fruits, pastas and chips. “Oh good! We aren’t late!” Callie came running up with Damon. “Now that we are all here, let’s eat!” Alpha John said.“How long is your flight?” I asked Rif.“Three hours.” Rif swallowed his food. “Not bad, but I did order that doll for you.” Grabbing a chip, I tossed it at him. “Kids!” Alpha James was trying not to laugh.“He started it!” I said in my defense. I could feel Ethan’s gaze on me from across the table. I tried hard to ignore him.“Travis, I guess you’re off on the bodyguard on shopping.”“
“What do you mean?” I asked.“You seemed distracted at the restaurant and just overly on edge.”“Yeah.” I didn’t really have an answer to that. “As much as I love you all, but can you please drop it and let us figure out whatever there is to figure out? I’d rather not have an audience.”“I suppose, but being as you are our future Luna, I can’t promise we won’t be protective.” Travis said.“Exactly. We can’t lose another one.” Kyle said, looking at the ground. “Everyone leave so I can speak with Grace alone.” Ethan demanded.I could see a few wanted to argue, but didn’t as they walked inside. “I’m sorry I blindsided you.”“What the fuck was that? What happened to not telling anyone?” I was back to being angry.“I saw how quick you were to hug Rif and I didn’t like it. I knew the only way to keep others away is to publicly claim you. I still have shit to work on, but this way, everyone knows you’re mine.” Ethan just stood there, looking at me. “At what point do you stop thinking abou
“Fuck yeah!” Callie let go of Damon’s hand and helped wrapped it around my body.“What do you think, Damon? Will this piss him off?”“That will do the trick.” Damon said with complete boredom. “Go try it on.” Callie pushed me towards the changing room. “Just one?” A lady asked, looking at my hands.“Yeah.” Grabbing a one number, she walked to me a room and unlocked it for me, before walking away.Not sure why I was nervous, but I got undressed and put the dress on. Obviously, I needed a different bra, but it was amazing. The rhinestone halter top straps came to the side, and the top was tighter. There was extra fabric that bunched just below all my cleavage. Staying tight, the left side split open at the top of my hip. Four rhinestone straps held the fabric together that angled just over the important parts. The strappy heels would be perfect with this dress.“Grace? I got more dresses for you!” Callie yelled. Opening the door, I walked out to show her.“Fuck....” Callie’s eyes went
“Great!” Callie handed him his card as she got down. Ethan held out his hand for me to jump down. Without thinking, I took his hand and jumped. The sparked startled me, making me quickly pull my hand back. “Here are your bags.” Callie went to hand me my bags, but Ethan took them first. “What did you all get?” He asked.“Not real sure. Callie did most of the shopping.” I said as we all walked into the pack house.“Well, then you probably got a brand new closet.” Ethan sighed as the elevator dinged.“What are you guys doing tonight?” I asked Callie and Damon.“We will probably eat somewhere and then go to the club to meet you guys.” “Probably won’t be very busy,” Ethan said, looking at his watch.“Got somewhere to be? We can reschedule.” I said, looking at Ethan.“Good try. We are going to have dinner. I was just looking at how much time till we needed to leave.”“How long till that is?”“You got an hour.” “That is just long enough. I’ll need to do your hair,” Callie said.“Sure, wh
“What was that about?” Ethan asked as he held the door for me. I guess we are taking a challenger tonight.“I would tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.” I said and winked at him before getting in the car. Ethan shut the door and walked around. “Is that so?” He lifted an eyebrow at me as he sat down and started the car. “Yes, sir.” “I could command my beta to just tell me.” Ethan gave me a look as he drove off. “What is this place called?” I asked, trying to change the subject. “La Pergola.” Ethan said. I was looking out the window when I felt his finger slipped under my chin and turned my face towards him. The look in his eyes caused me to stop breathing. “You look amazing tonight.” His finger rubbed one cheek before going under my chin and stroking the other side. “Th-thank you.” I said when I was able to gather myself. “What do you want to do tomorrow?” Ethan asked, keeping a conversation going.“Callie and I want to get tattoos.”“Oh, really?” The surprise was clear. “W
“Hmm...” I wasn’t sure what to say. “I’m not that into dancing.”“What?” Ethan looked taken aback.“I know I’m good at it, but I don’t have a passion for it.”“What do you have a passion for?” Ethan grabbed a slice of bread and started eating.Taking a sip of the red, it tastes amazing. “Program designing.”“Oh, really?” Ethan looked surprised. “What have you all worked on?”“Not much. Dad said it wasn’t a skill I needed and I should focus on more pack related tasks. He only approved of dancing because it helped me to be a better fighter. Even then, he wasn’t a fan of me fighting because that is a man’s job.”“I see.” Ethan frowned. “What do you want to design?”“Like security systems, but any kind of program. In school, I programmed a video game.” “I think that is a great skill to have.”I had to refrain from rolling my eyes. He might just be faking interest. “What about you?” Grabbing my glass, I leaned back in my seat. “I want to open my own restaurant one day.” “What kind?”“No
“Sure.” She wasn’t here last time, but she was a wolf. Getting our drinks, she slid those over to us. “Here you go, Alpha, Miss.” “Luna.” Ethan corrected. The girl was starting to turn when her body froze.“Luna?” She looked confused at me before returning to Ethan. Taking my drink, I took a sip.“Correct.” Ethan gave her a look before putting his arm around me and pushed me ahead of him. We walked down and around until we got to the staircase. Ethan had to pull out his keys and unlock it before we could go in. As soon as we were inside, Ethan closed the door and locked it.“This really is a great view.” I said, looking out into the entire bar. Ethan took my drink and set it down. Slipping his arm around me, he pulled me tightly against him. Slamming his lips on mine, he kissed me hard. “Yes, it is.” Ethan muttered as he kissed down my neck. “Oh.” I didn’t recognize the moan that escaped my lips. The sparks caused my brain to go fuzzy. All self control I had slipped away as he pick
“That’s it, lose yourself on me.” My hips started riding his hand on their own. With his thumb massaging my clit, he worked me. Right until I was about to cum. Putting a third finger in, my orgasm hit, making my body clinched around him. “Ethan!” I half yelled, half moaned as he sucked on a sensitive spot on my neck. Only when I was coming down, Ethan pulled out and helped me stand. “Can you walk?” He asked, trying not to laugh.“Not funny.” I said, trying to breathe.“Oh, it is. My little mate had her first orgasm because of these fingers.” He leaned down and made a show of putting his fingers in his mouth, licking them clean. Wanting to surprise him, I grabbed his head; I pulled him towards me. Shoving my tongue in there with his fingers, tasting myself. Ethan growled in his chest as his fingers ripped out of his mouth and he kissed me hard. “You are really tempting me, baby.” “Good.” I said as I let him go. Walking to the bathroom, I closed the door. After peeing, I washed my
