I struggle to keep up with Lorcan’s strides; I’m practically running.
He opens the door to our bedroom and pushes me inside. I fall on my arse and scramble away from him.
I want to fight back, but Lorcan is so much stronger and faster than I am. If he were to beat me for what Mason did, then I’ll take it and move on. But I hope that Lorcan doesn’t resort to that when we’ve been doing so well of late.
I don’t want Lorcan to fall back into old habits. But he looks so angry that I’m terrified he’s about to rip me apart. He feels betrayed that I let Mason touch me, even if it was just a hug. No wolf wants to smell another man on their mate; each one will lose their shit.
My stomach is turning over horribly because I thought we’d moved past all of this.
I cup Lorcan’s cheek again and rest my forehead against his.“No,” I tell him honestly. “I wouldn’t have left with Mason.”I lift and look Lorcan in the eye.I want to be honest with my mate; I need him to know that I won’t lie to him.“Since Claire attacked me, even though some days you’re a moody arse,” He raises his eyebrow, and I giggle. “You have done everything in your power to show me that you care about me.“You’ve made me laugh when I thought there was nothing to laugh about. You pick me up when I’m feeling down, and I smile whenever you’re near me. You spend time with me, and you listen to me. Hell, you’ve made me so happy these past few weeks.“We make love,
Gianna sobs in my arms and I can do nothing but hold her while she cries.I wasn’t expecting Gianna to tell me that she didn’t want me to reject her. Over the past few weeks, we’ve become close. Our relationship has solidified and become something even I didn’t expect. I’ve learned to control my temper around Gianna by walking away. However, ignoring her hurts her deeply, and I hate that. But I have to do something so that I don’t take my anger out on my mate.I’ve even taken an interest in her hobbies, watched films with her, and even baked bloody cookies because she enjoys it.I’ve made love to her, held her while she sleeps, and woken up to her, smiling at me. Goddess, that smile warms my cold heart.We’ve come to an understanding, and our relationship has been perfect. Probab
I lift her into my arms and lay her down on the bed. “I want you so bad,” I mumble around kisses to Gianna’s neck.“But I’m all wet.”I chuckle and look into her eyes. “You’re always wet for me.”Gianna bites her lower lip, and Goddess knows what that does to me.She places her hand on my cheek and smiles. “Then take me, Lorcan.”I don’t give her time to change her mind; my mouth presses against hers in a heated kiss. Gianna groans and rips the towel from my waist.I have to have her now; I’m so hard I could pound nails!I tear the towel off her sexy body, and my eyes drink in how perfect she is.I’ve fucked Gianna many time
“Speak,” I tell Katy as she sits beside Mason in front of my desk.After Gianna woke from her nap, in which I watched as I held her, we showered and dressed. I have some business to attend to; I’d mind-linked Katy and told her to meet me in my office with Mason. We have things to discuss. I need to know what they intend to do now that they’re mates.Ideally, I want them off my territory. I know Gianna sees Katy as a friend, and I won’t stop them from being such. However, I cannot have Mason joining the pack. It would never work; he’s touched my mate, no matter if that was before I came along.I know that I have nothing to worry about now that he’s found his mate. He’d never touch Gianna against her will, and I know my mate would never betray me. But I don’t want him here for any reason.
I woke up this morning wrapped in Lorcan’s arms, and there was no place I would rather be.It’s a strange feeling, wanting to be with him the way I do, especially when I tried so hard to get away from him. But the past week has been fantastic. Not once has Lorcan raised his voice to me, nor has he ignored me. He’s so considerate of my feelings, and each time he speaks to me, it’s with love and respect.We haven’t said those three words to each other yet, but I feel them each time he kisses me. Something changed the day Mason came to Silver Paw, and that something was Lorcan. Every night I fall asleep in his arms and wake up in the morning the same way.Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night to Lorcan, stroking the skin on my back. His eyes are always closed, well, until he senses me watching him. Then he smiles and cracks ope
“Jenna, are you all right?” Sara looks concerned as Jenna groans.“Jenna?” I turn my head to look at her.She’s shaking her head with her eyes closed.I unbuckle my seat belt. “Sara, keep driving; I’m going to help Jenna.”“What’s happening?”“She’s in labour, and I don’t think we’re going to make it back to the packhouse to get Jenna to a doctor.”I climb into the back seat and take Jenna’s hand in my own.She clutches it tightly. “I can’t have my baby here!”“Jenna, listen to me,” I lay my hand on her stomach as it tightens with a contraction.
I push my wolf out of my mind for a moment and concentrate on Jenna. She needs my full attention right now to help her through this.“One more push, Jenna. Just one more, and the first baby will be here. Now, push!”Jenna bares down, pushing with all of her might. In next to no time, her baby is in my arms.“Oh, baby girl, you did it,” Luther kisses Jenna’s head without taking his eyes off his son.I quickly check him over before telling Luther to pull down the front of Jenna’s dress. He, of course, tears it in his quest to free her chest. Jenna simply laughs, then lets out a happy sob when I lay her newborn son on her che
“You did a wonderful thing today, little wolf.”Gianna smiles shyly while tying her hair in a ponytail. She’s just changed after her shower, and now she’s wearing tight blue jeans with a dark green knitted jumper.After helping Jenna deliver her twins safely, I couldn’t be more proud of my mate. I hadn’t allowed her to continue as a healer when she came here. But now I see that was a mistake.Both Luther and Sara told me how amazing Gianna was in keeping Jenna calm. She gave Jenna a homemade remedy that kept Jenna from most likely dying in childbirth.Though I know Selene would have come to the rescue, or Jenna herself, being part deity, would have saved herself. I know Jenna’s great grandmother would not have allowed her to die. Or maybe she would have; I’m only guessing at what might
