With my beloved's consent, I led Kai back to my room. He is as flustered as always, yet his body subconsciously seems to know that we’re destined to be together. I hope this is a sign that he’ll realise the truth soon.When that happens, I hope he will accept me and we can go through the mating ritual with no issues. I’ll continue to be patient until then, but I wonder if he will let me go all the way with him before then.So far we haven’t and I haven’t forced him into anything. Making sure he is comfortable is the most important thing to me. Even though my body yearns for it all now.As soon as we get to the bathroom, I release his hand and turn the shower on. If he wishes to change his mind and go, then now is his chance. I won’t force him to bathe with me, but if he stays and doesn’t protest, then I’ll take it as a sign that he is fine with this.I glance over my shoulder to study his expression. He look

I look upon my mate as he flounders with his words and what he wants. I know the bond is already there, but it isn’t so strong that he has caught on yet. That he wants to have ‘fun’ with me is a step in the right direction, but I’m not sure if he is ready for me to spill the beans yet.As I’m debating on my options, he distracts me with a passionate kiss. I can’t miss this opportunity to accept his lips, as who knows when he will go back to being cold towards me. I pray that doesn’t happen, and this is the start of him figuring out that we’re destined to be mates.Once he ends the kiss, I can’t help but find myself in the mood to do more to him. However, he looks over my body as though he is trying to debate with himself. I don’t want him to think he has no choice but to please me, so I gently brush his wet hair away from his cheek.“We don’t have to do anything else if you’re still un

As soon as the morning sun hits my face, I feel every ounce of embarrassment wash over me. I hate how easily I give in to that man. Although he never went all the way with me, he still made me moan and writhe under his every touch.I wish I could vanish under a rock and never come out again. However, I’m not so lucky. I’m stuck here in this place. No wonder my body and mind have gone mad. I need to get out of these four walls and get some fresh air. That would bring back logic to my brain.However, I am ever the prisoner here.I feel Cedric’s arms pull me into his hold, and I don’t fight it. Wasting energy on futile things is no longer something I can be bothered with. If he wants to hold on to me, then fine. I’ll endure it. He’ll only get his way in the end, anyway. Right?I steal a sneaky glance at him from behind my hands and blush even more. Why do I keep finding him so handsome? I should hate him. Loath him for all

I’m glad I could get all my work done quickly today. I wish I could have taken Kai with me so that he could learn how I do things around here, but I didn’t want to risk him to the others who have yet to find their mate. That no one has tried to jump him yet is only because of my quick thinking. I’m not sure what surprises me more. That my mate ended up being Kai, or that an alpha can also smell so good. I assumed only omegas could go into heat. Or females who have found their mates… but another alpha? I spot Kai close to where I left him and hasten to be beside him once more. I almost want to kiss him in the open, but I can already tell by the scowl on his face that such an act of affection will not be appreciated. Instead, I stand as close to him as I can physically get without Kai rejecting me outright. “Did you enjoy being outside?” I ask with a small smile. I’m sure he would have preferred more freedom, but for now, this is all I can give him without risking someone from my pack

With Kai back in the safety of his room, and completely worn out from a quick make-out session, I return to the training grounds. I had hoped to train with Kai, but with him smelling so good, and with Joey around, I didn’t want to risk anything.I could have trained him in the packhouse meeting hall instead, but my people might question me about it. I don’t use the hall unless training outside is impossible. Even rain wouldn’t usually stop me.Joey is one of my more trusted men, but he has always enjoyed being free to experiment with both men and women. That is why I can’t let him be too close to my Kai. I don’t want to risk him trying to fuck my man. I wish he would find his mate already, but for now, I’ll have to keep him at a safe distance.This is becoming a more complicated issue than I expected, but so far it is only him I need to worry about. At least, I hope it is only him I need to plan for. With a heavy sigh, I scan
