Rose touched her neck and winced at the pain when the alpha stirred. Startled, Rose backed away, eyeing him nervously. She was still naked.
She sniffed the air tentatively, trying to puzzle out the new smell.
Perhaps a beta had been through? No, not with her in heat. Any shifter foolish enough to get close would have Zander to answer to. Rose shivered, her eyes landing on him as he slowly sat up. She opened her mouth to greet him but the words died before they left her throat.
Her fingers flew to her neck, finding his bite which began burning a bit, she knew would be there as she met the eyes of the alpha king across the room from her.
“Come here,” Zander said gruffly, his voice still flavoured with the alpha command which had her back sna
Chapter 33"You marked me." He stated, his tone not indicating how he felt but she knew that if she wanted to now, she could check but she didn't want to."Yeah you asked me to, Are you angry?" She asked him, shuffling around to see his expression. She realized the answer right away when his soft blue eyes looked down at her with mirth and affection, he smiled down at her softly."No. Never." He stated proudly, leaning down to peck her lips.She smiled up at him."Thank you for helping me when I’m in he-"She stated, but before she could finish he threw himself o
She woke up to the feeling of a feather-light touch on her face, something trailing down from the corner of her eye, down the side of her face and to the corner of her lips before going over her bottom lip. Recognizing the familiar pattern she parted her lips and softly bit his finger. She heard him inhale sharply and opened her eyes. Laying half on top of her and his face hovering above her, Zander's blue eyes were bright and full of adoration. "Good morning." He murmured softly. With the tip of her tongue, she swiped over his finger, and he narrowed his eyes at her playfully. She let go and gave him a wide smile, wrapping her arms around him and pushing herself against him.
The one thing Rose had always known would be annoying about being mated was that having such an intense connection to someone meant there were no secrets.Like this, for example, Rose is a silver wolf with powers she doesn’t understand or like she had to come to love waking up with Zander’s big body practically cocooning her.It made her feel safe, sheltered, and secure. It also made her feel a little dumb and feeble. If Zander woke up now and tapped into what she was feeling, he would know that.By God, if he teased her about it she’d die with embarrassment.It was still hard getting her head around the fact that they were truly mated. In fact, it wasn’t so much.And now she wa
Rose stared at her with hurt evident in her eyes. “You’ll never be accepted here as Luna. Never. You might have gotten most of them to pledge their loyalty to you, but you’re naïve if you think they all meant it.” “Amen,” muttered a witchy voice. Rose returned Amber’s glare. “Hey, Widow Twankey. Still alive? Hmm. Guess those voodoo dolls don’t work after all.” Mila came, glaring at Amber. “Yes, yes, make your jokes, hussy.” She replied to her. “Who said I was joking?” Mila snorted. A cruel smirk played around the edges of Amber’s mouth.
He sighed.“The time when there was a war between royals, my pack…There we were with no territory, no home, no money. I had to win the war and gain control fast or I’d never keep the pack alive.”“So you bottled it all up,” she said in a whisper. “Turned yourself into a robot.”“A monster…” He corrected. It tugged at her heart to know that he had basically missed out on his youth. Zander had missed all that, and that was just unacceptable to Rose. “Well now that I’m around, you’ll be expected to have fun occasionally, know that right now.”“We have plenty of fun.” He grinned wickedly and licked over his mark while his hand cupped her breast.“Not that kind of fun,” she said a little breathlessly as he sucked and nibbled her neck. “But we’ll do lots of that, too.” And they did do lots of that. In fact, they spent the next hour doing plenty of it.“Have I ever told you that you have an epic ass?” she said, thanking God for the creation of Levis, as she watched him walk ahead of her
Quickly Ava came into the room with a bottle of spring water. “Dab some of that onto her lips.” Then she handed him an ice pack. “And place that over that ugly bump on her head.” “It’s bruising already,” commented Liam. “She’s gonna be pissed, walking round with that egg on her head.” “Is she alright?” asked. She shrugged when all eyes widened and focused on her. “Not that I care. I’m just wondering.” “Hi there gorgeous, you’re awake,” crooned Damon. Instantly everyone crowded around the sofa. Too distracted by the realization that Rose had come round, Zander didn’t even shoot his best friend a scowl for using an endearment with his mate. “Hey, Little one, you okay?” Damn that light was bright. Rose groaned as sharp, icy pains began shooting rhythmically through her head. Oh God, she wasn’t going to throw up, was she? She sure felt like it. Confused and dazed, she peered around her to see the entire pack hovering. Ava pushed her way through the enforcers. “How’re you feeling?
Okay so there was being possessive, there was being crazily possessive, and there was this: being a total shithead. Rose groaned and slapped her hands over her face. All she wanted was to go shopping with Elaine. It wasn’t like she was planning to go shopping on a whole other continent or that she would be walking around naked the entire time. Zander, however, was totally opposed to the idea of her going without him.When attempting to bully her into taking him along hadn’t worked, he had switched to trying to manipulate her with a little reverse psychology. When that failed he introduced some seriously good bribes. As she had still refused, he was now trying his hand at emotional blackmail.Releasing her face she looked at her mate who sat at the kitchen table wearing a kicked puppy expression. “
Rose hadn’t been lying when she said that she and Elaine would be visiting dozens of stores. Elaine was the type who was easily drawn in by something in the display window. She had practically raided the clothes stores, hunting down dresses, shoes and accessories.Rose bought a few items, but only casual wear, mostly she was just replacing the things that Zander had torn from her body like the dirty bastard he was.Once they had picked up a few birthday gifts for Zander, they went for a light lunch which left them with only one place left to go…Victoria’s Secret. Rose had decided to buy a kinky outfit to wear on the night of Zander’s birthday, even though there was a good chance he would tear it from her body, and she had convinced Elaine to do the same for Liam.Yep, Turns out t
