Chapter 13
Leila POV
I can still see in my mind the exact moment when Marcus finally cracked and gave in to the unbearable sexual tension between us. His brown eyes flashed to black in an instant and his bear was in the driver's seat when he shoved me against the side of the truck and kissed me senseless. And I loved every second.
Despite being an alpha female, there is something incredibly powerful about knowing your mate was so turned on that he couldn't hold back for a second longer. I've never felt so desirable. When I bared my neck to him in submission, handing over control, it hadn't felt like weakness; it was empowering.
And I know his bear loved it. I could feel the rumbles of approval vibrating through Marcus's chest into mine.
His brown eyes were black with lust as he used those big, rugged hands to make me come. That we were outdoors, in the dark, in nature, had made it even hotter. Just thinking about it is enough to get me all worked up again, but

Marcus POVSlamming the door to the station shut behind me in temper, I turn too quickly and spill hot coffee all over my shirt and scald my hand. I resist the urge to throw the disposable cup at the opposite wall as hard as I can in temper. Instead, I kick the trash bin beside me, sending it careening across the floor into a desk, before landing on its side and emptying balled-up bits of paper all over the floor. My attempts at writing up a draft report earlier on the attack were a complete waste of time because my head was all over the place. My bear is out of control, and I know exactly what has him on edge, or who.“I get it, big guy. You like her. And I fucked it up,” I mutter out loud to him as I stomp through the small rectangular sheriff’s building to my office at the back, turning on lights and opening blinds as I go. I toss the almost full cup straight into the sink as I pass the kitchenette, watching the remaining contents splatter on the s

Leila POVMy heat is making me crave him like oxygen. My self-induced orgasm isn’t close to enough to satisfy this need. It’s physically painful to be this near to him and not be touching him. He could give me all the relief I need in an instant.“Leila, what were you doing?” He asks in a husky voice, taking uneven, ragged breaths.“I’m house-sitting,” I say, opting to play dumb, as my cheeks flame, thinking about what he must have just seen.“I… fuck, that’s not what I meant, sweetheart. Were you were touching yourself? You called my name, and it’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” He stares into my eyes, before he steps back releasing my wrist, and looks me over from head to toe and back up again, swallowing deeply and clenching his hands into tight fists over and over again.“Correction, it’s the second hottest thing I’ve ever seen. Leila, you&rsquo

Marcus POV This woman is going to be the death of me. As I watched her come on the bed, dark tousled hair spread out messily around her, olive skin still rosy from her bath, and a satisfied smile on her face, my bear surged forward. He is begging me to take her and mark her as ours. It is both terrifying and exhilarating. He keeps insisting that she is our mate and that I am a fool for not taking her right now and claiming her. This was why he brought me here. He drove me mad until I relented and came into town to check on Hayley’s house. I thought maybe he sensed something was up, that an attacker was back, that maybe there was more evidence out there that we hadn’t found yet. But it wasn’t any of those things. He is just a horny bastard. His enhanced sense of smell must have picked on something that quite hadn’t registered with me. Until I got to the porch, and the most heavenly smell on earth reached my nostrils. I couldn’t have stopped myself from walking through

Leila POVWhen I wake up, I can’t believe I’ve slept through till morning. It’s a year since I’ve had an unbroken night’s sleep, and I’m pretty sure the cause of and the solution to that particular problem is lying sprawled on his stomach beside me. Marcus’s thick dark hair is a rumpled mess, and his tan glows against the crisp white bed linen. The sheets are tangled around his waist, and I can’t help trailing my fingertips along the long taut muscles on his back. He’s just so handsome he takes my breath away. And he’s here. For however long, he’s here and I’m going to enjoy every second of it.I tiptoe across the room to the ensuite and freshen up. My dark hair is the very definition of bed hair. It’s a fluffy mess that I can’t even face taming right now, so I pull it up into a high ponytail instead and brush my teeth before climbing back into bed. I’m admiring his full lips and

“Oh my god, Marcus. What the hell?!” She shakes her head at me and tries to stop the smile threatening to break onto her face, before giving up and laughing along with me, splashing me, and dunking me back under for a second before swimming back over to the pier. As climbs out, I place my two hands on her rear to give her a boost and she turns back to roll her eyes at me. “Gee thanks.” Leila wrings the water out of the end of her ponytail as I clamber out of the freezing water. The cold has made her perfect rosy nipples stand to attention and they strain against the thin wet material. No bra, goddamn. I can’t help but stare. I want to lick them; I want to lick her. Her gaze meets mine, and it’s like a current of electricity passes between us. There is silence for a second before we both move, pulling and groping at each other, trying to get as close as possible. I lift her and she instantly wraps those long legs around my waist. I grab at her top but

Leila POVI come to in the shower, shivering with the cold as water pours down over me where I lie curled up in a pitiful ball, still wrapped up in my now soaking wet dressing gown. How the hell did I get in here? I gasp and sit up, shrinking to the back of the stall, away from the icy spray. I look up to see Kim standing there watching me, with a grim but steely look in her cool blue eyes.“Kim! What the actual fuck?!” I shriek, mortified at the state that she must have found me in and indignant that her version of helping me seems to involve trying to drown me.“Leila, I am sorry, but you called me here for crisis management. I am assuming you don’t want anyone to know about…. this.” Her eyes soften a bit as she gestures back out towards the guest bedroom, where the sheets are a crumpled mess, and the smell of sex stills hangs heavy in the air. Kim has met Marcus many times. There is no way she doesn’t know who was he
The Alpha's Inferno Chapter 20
Leila POV The weekend goes by in a blur. Almost as if she knows I need it, Hayley entertains me left, right and centre. Poor Cooper is tortured by hot outfit after hot outfit, with a little help in the selection department from yours truly. She pisses off a future Alpha by ruining some nasty plan he had to screw over my father, who looks proud as punch to have her along with us. She then stuns them all by proving impervious to alpha commands and making besties with the two most intimidating wolves around. The scary new alpha of our neighbouring pack, Dean Reynolds, whose father was a tyrant, and the alpha of all Alphas on the east coast, Alpha Steel. Steel rarely talks to anyone, but apparently turns into a puppy dog in Hayley’s presence, who now calls him Blake. Go figure. I watch her with amusement during the ball as she continues to wreak havoc with charm and poise as only she can. A tiny little human, with long caramel waves and golden-brown eyes, who seems to hav

Marcus POVMy palms are sweaty, and my heart is racing as I pull up in front of the pack house for Hayley and Cooper's mating celebration. He has finally marked her and now they have bonded for life, but she is human and doesn’t know the pack well yet, so this is like a big welcome to the family now that it’s all official.Everyone knew there was something going on between them. It’s impossible to keep something like that quiet in a small town like Grey Ridge, but I think they were stunned to find out they were fated mates. It’s a genuine cause for celebration for their future Alpha to find his true mate. Finding them is not guaranteed by any means and will strengthen the pack and Cooper’s position within it.Wolves can go mad if they remain unmated, so most pair off before they reach their late thirties. At 34, Cooper was probably feeling the pressure to choose someone rather than continue to wait for his fated love. I’m glad
