Kaylee's P.O.V.It hadn't been my intention to eavesdrop, but they weren't exactly being quiet. When Parker said that he would love me for the rest of his life, it felt like my heart was going to explode. I really didn't even care about anything else. Parker and Jack had a broken relationship. That was nothing new.But Parker planning a date for us today and admitting that he loved me, even if it wasn't to me directly, was a dream come true. I thought I couldn't be happier, and he once again proved me wrong. He had been patient, waiting for me. I was broken but healing, and this past week had been so good for me.Wolves had a healthy appetite, both literally and sexually, and I was ready to make sure he was fully satisfied. My last boyfriend had been before I was taken, and I had a feeling what we did together as inexperienced teenagers couldn't compare to what Parker and I would do.The man was a walking sex god. I was ready to jump him

Parker's P.O.V. I had been turned on before, but never before like this. Sitting in that interrogation, knowing that I had left my mate horny and excited, had me on edge the entire time. I knew they could probably smell her on me, which was normal for our kind, and I was proud to be claimed by her in that way. Abram, in particular, was smirking the entire time as they drug out my questioning. He was getting a sick sense of satisfaction from watching me squirm in my chair. It was obvious to me that they were aware that my mind was elsewhere, and wanted to make me suffer for their amusement. Knowing most of the council members from my time training at the Supreme Pack, I knew they were busting my balls on purpose. The desperation I felt to get home was new to me, and I had been ready to run right through the wall to get to my mate sooner instead of using the door and going all the way around the building. My wolf was angry at me for putting my duty and responsibilities over our mate

Kaylee's P.O.V. "You don't have to," I whispered as Parker rolled out of the bed. It had been a long night of intense lovemaking until I passed out to the feeling of his fingers trailing up and down my spine. "I do, but I will be coming home to you as soon as possible." I watched as he slid on a pair of shorts from his dresser. The muscles moving in his back as he pulled on the gym shorts were mesmerizing, and when he turned, I could help but notice that his bulge was slightly visible under the loose fabric. It didn't make me worried that others would see it, but it was frustrating knowing that the girls he trained with would. Mia, at least, had already openly expressed her interest in him. While she was civil and friendly when she realized he had found me, I still wasn't a fan of him being on display or him having to strip naked in front of them when he had to shift. He was mine. "I appreciate that you're a good leader, but I hate that you have to go to training this morning." I

Parker's P.O.V.I couldn't help but scowl at Jack as he sat at the head of the breakfast table the next morning. My wolf was livid that he had to submit to the lesser wolf, but we both understood that we needed to follow the pack hierarchy. It was difficult, but it was possible.Not only had Kate been the one to come knock on my bedroom door this morning to tell us breakfast was ready, but Kaylee had woken up feeling very sore. She had struggled to get ready for the day, but after a long hot shower, she seemed better. I still noticed the way she flinched when reaching across the table to help herself to some scrambled eggs.I didn't even stop to think about the two of us being different species when I had marked her. There was the chance her body would try to turn on the full moon next week. Based on how she was feeling today, I would say her chances of turning or trying to were high.If she did, I wasn't sure if her abilities would stay

Kaylee's P.O.V. I never expected that it would be so erotic to watch my mate work out. His team spent the first two hours running and doing tactical drills before they moved on to sparring, but as he lunged and swung at his opponent, effectively taking them down, my eyes remained glued to him. My fingers pulled at the blanket beneath me as I continued to observe Parker's training session with his team. Every breath he took, every muscle that flexed, was hypnotizing. I thought I would be bothered by him touching his half-naked female team members, but there was nothing sexual about him knocking them to the ground repeatedly. Even the way he yelled out orders, scolded mistakes, and encouraged them when they tried something new or did well was attractive to me. He was professional about it though. He was a true leader. Mia had spared me a few glances and a shy wave at the beginning of training. But after Parker tossed her to the floor like a rag doll during their one-on-one sparring an
