Masuk“…wherever I went.”Maya stared back at Luke to find him smiling.“I didn’t believe the women when they told me about that. I figured it was wishful thinking.”“I should be scared right now, but I’m not. He’s not going to hurt me. I know Zion. He’d never hurt me.” They were past the bullying. She loved him, and then it struck her. Moments before he changed, he’d told her that he loved her. “I love you, too.” She pressed a kiss to the back of his neck, smiling as he snuggled in deeper against her. This was perfect, and for the first time in a long time, Maya was happy, contented.“You can’t tell anyone. Our secret must remain,” Luke said.“I wouldn’t tell anyone, Mr. Zion.” She looked up at the other man. “Who would even want to believe me? Everyone would think I was crazy.” Glancing at Zion, she smiled. “This is why you can’t go to college, right?”“He can hear you.”She smiled. “That’s okay. There are perfectly good colleges online. I can stick around if you’d like.” His paw landed o
She was getting upset, and he truly didn’t know what to do. His wolf was pacing, ready to claim her, to bite her, and make her belong to him.“I care about you, Maya. Fuck, I’m in love with you, but there is shit you don’t know. Shit I’ve not told you about, and I can’t.”Letting her go, Zion ran fingers through his hair, trying to bring some control to his chaotic world. His wolf demanded release, and Zion was so desperate to claim her that he couldn’t keep control of himself. He didn’t know what to do, and so he panicked.“Run,” he said, yelling the word so that she’d be afraid enough to run.“No. I’m not running away from you.”“Damn, Maya, I’m dangerous. Run!”He bent over as his wolf pounced at him. The thin thread of control he held snapped. When he looked back at Maya, his eyes were different. He was starting to change, and no matter what he did, he couldn’t stop it.“Zion? What’s going on? What’s happening?” She wasn’t running away, but he scented her fear. All of his senses w
Christmas passed without much commotion. Zion found it incredibly hard to stay away from her for the entire day. He spent as much time with her as possible, but there was no way for him to invade her family on the big day. His own pack had a special gathering, taking a run before all of them sat down to a large meal that they shared within the street. The only people who lived on the street near the forest were packed. No one stopped by to talk to any of them.When night fell he spent the night in her bed. Since Maya had fallen ill, he’d not slept in his own bed. The only bed he wanted to be inside was Maya’s. His wolf couldn’t handle not having her in his arms. His parents had to guard him when he did turn as his wolf wanted to go hunting.He wanted to claim Maya. That need to have, to possess was only getting stronger as the time passed. They spent New Year at his folks’ home as hers were working. He didn’t mind them working. Zion got to spend a lot more time with her.The best mome
Being escorted from one class to another was an entirely new experience for Maya. She wasn’t used to having anyone care enough that she got from one part of school to another. What she hated was the astonished looks from their peers. There was no way she could call them her friends. Not one person was convinced about her and Zion being together. In truth, she didn’t really believe it herself.Cheryl stopped behind her when the bell for the lunch break went off.“You don’t think he’s really dating you, do you?”She ignored Cheryl as she gathered up her books. Packing them away in her bag, she waited until the last possible moment before she had to look at Cheryl.“You do? That is so fucking sad. You’re fat and ugly. Zion would never fall for anyone like you.”Putting her bag on her shoulder, she started toward the door.“I’m talking to you, bitch.”Cheryl gripped her arm and shoved her forcefully. Hitting the table, Maya crashed to the floor.Pain slammed through her and shocked as Zio
Monday morning Zion was waiting outside of Maya’s home ready to take her to school. When he woke up he spent an hour simply watching her sleep. He loved having Maya in his arms. She was so beautiful, open, loving, caring, and he never wanted to let her go. His parents knew where he went at night, and neither one had a problem with him spending time with his mate.He was in love with her. Accepting his feelings with regards to her had settled his wolf. There was no worry of his wolf slamming out and hurting Maya, which scared him more.Maya ran down the steps of her house toward him, smiling as she opened the door.“Morning. I didn’t mind going to school and meeting up with you there.”Today he was going to show everyone who she belonged to. He wasn’t going to keep their relationship a secret. Over the last few months he’d heard the doubts from everyone around them. They thought he had a joke or a prank in the works that would hurt her. He hated the vultures for thinking the worst, but
Her heart began to race once again. “I like you being with me as well.”“I won’t get you into trouble, but do you mind if I stay with you again tonight?” he asked.“What about your parents? Don’t they worry?”Zion smiled. “I’ve got my bedroom covered.”“What does that mean?”“It means they understand I need my own space.” He got to his feet, stepping toward her. Zion placed his hands on either side of her head. “I promise you, Maya, you’re safe with me. I won’t do anything to hurt you.”She didn’t want him to leave.Mate.Something was changing inside her when it came to Zion. She accepted him and wanted to forget about what happened in their past. He hadn’t bullied her since they returned to school.“I’m going to get showered.” She moved past the door, sliding underneath his arm to grab her pajamas.“I’ll be here.”Escaping to the bathroom, Maya closed the door. Staring at her reflection, she blew out some air pushing her hair off her face.“It’s okay, Maya. It’s just a boy in your r

Cupping her ass, he gripped the back of her head, holding her in place to take his kiss.He broke the kiss first, going down her neck. Tearing the costume from her body, he exposed one full, rounded red nipple. Biting down into the harsh bud, he heard her scream. The scent of her need wasn’t dulled
The couples she saw in the pack were always sweet together. Her first time had been awful, and the guy she’d shared it with had held her down as he rode her body hard. The only thing she recalled liking was being held down and the fact she couldn’t feel anything as he bit her during his release. Fr
“Tonight, you’re coming home with me. We’re going to get to the bottom of your problems. No one lies at my house. We’ll be totally alone, and we can explore your issues.”“No, I’m not going anywhere with you.”“It’s simple, Maya. You’ll come with me back home, or I’ll be escorting you home, telling
