“FUCK! What am I supposed to do? I’m going to be his Beta for fuck’s sake and he’s one of my best friends.” Luke’s voice is shaking and I know he wants to hide immediately. Alpha’s are known to be possessive of their mates and we witnessed last night what Colin's jealousy is like. “It’s not like he isn’t with someone right now, right? Why should he care.” Maybe I can convince myself as well. Probably not, but it is worth a shot. I open the door overly confident and slightly annoyed. Colin is standing there looking extremely nervous and unsure of why he is at my door. He freezes as his eyes find my nipples. They are still so hard that they are practically poking holes through my t-shirt. His eyes dart to my panties and up to my eyes which are now very wide. His eyes finally land on Luke standing behind me who I am positive is as pale as a ghost. I know he can smell my arousal and I am sure he is not stupid about what was just taking place. Luke still has an erection and we are

Without being able to stop him, he quickly makes his way over to me. Colin takes my head in his hands, while wiping away my tears with his thumbs. I stumble backwards a few steps until my back comes into contact with a tree. At my sudden stop his chest collides with mine and his face comes way too close for comfort to my own. His hands land on either side of my head on the tree behind me. I want desperately to run away but my body and Leia are determined to stand their ground. I am now trembling from the closeness to him. Colin’s eyes start to dance between black and hazel, finally resting on Hazel. This lets me know that he won the battle for dominance with Devon. I try to look down at my feet but he tilts my head back up so that I am now looking directly into his eyes. I lick my lips subconsciously and he forces his lips over mine. The contact makes my whole body explode with intense satisfaction. I gasp for air and he takes the opportunity to slide his tongue inside. It

I am in my dad’s office reading and secretly listening while he is in a conference call with the Alpha. The Beta is also on the call but is still in West Virginia. He has been visiting with another pack, discussing the upcoming prom. My dad has to be included in on important calls like this one, since he will be running security. Since we have the largest pack territory in Ohio, we use our prom every year to host the annual mating ball as well. This is a great chance for surrounding packs to get together and allow unmated wolves of age to possibly find their mate. The Alpha’s and Beta's use it as a meeting opportunity and an excuse to drink and have cigars. “Oops!” Mom says sarcastically while walking into the office. She is apparently on her phone with Luna Amara. Colin's mom is getting ready with her phone on speaker while my mom is talking to her. She was explaining that it will just be the two of us shopping tomorrow right as Amara was walking past Alpha Lawrence's office.

“Why did you really miss school? Was it because of us, or me? I haven’t been able to sleep or do much of anything this entire week and it’s driving me insane, and what are you wearing? Devon wants to seriously rip every wolf apart on the field right now because they are all staring at you.” “I don’t have a boyfriend so let them look” I duck the jab he throws at my face. If it would have landed my nose would be bleeding for sure. I throw an uppercut catching him off guard and it causes him to stumble back slightly. “Ya, but you have a mate, right?” He successfully lands a cross and as I spit out some blood, he grabs my arms sending the familiar shivers through me. “Ellie, I’m sorry! My emotions have been all over the place since the woods and you haven’t been here to talk it through, please give me a chance to just talk to you, alone.” Genuine concern and sadness is plastered all over his face and it makes me just want to pull him in for a kiss. With the mate bond, we can bo

“How long have you been there?” “Long enough to hear you sing while you pee.” “You were watching me?!” “It’s not like I haven’t seen you naked.” “Wow, ok, this isn’t weird or embarrassing!” I huff at him and turn back towards the house, but my boot gets stuck on a fallen cornstalk and I trip. Colin is quick and catches me before I fall. “You know, you’re clumsy when you drink. I always end up catching you.” He places me back on my feet while still holding his hand on my lower back. “Well then it’s a good thing you were here to catch me, Mr. Creepy!” I say way too sarcastically. The moonshine is kicking in for sure. “Ellie, I’ve given you space this week to think. I’ve done my own thinking too. It didn’t take long for me. I’ve had my mind made up the minute we started kissing in the woods. I want you and no one else. I will do anything to prove that to you.” “I don’t know Colin; your words sound so amazing but I--” Before I can continue my sentence his lips are pressed against m
