Scott caught her in his arms. Her blood coated his tongue. The taste of her was amazing. He’d never had anything so good in his mouth. The need to claim her rose within him, as tasting her blood was not enough.“What have you done?” Layla asked, screaming at him. Lewis held her back.I’ve found her. I’ve found our mate.His wolf purred in agreement. From a young age, Scott had always talked to his wolf and felt a connection with that side of him. “She’s human, Scott,” Darcy said.Staring down into Lilly Smith’s face, Scott understood the feelings he’d had when he first met her at sixteen. His wolf had waited until she was of the right age before claiming. Their laws were sacred, and no one claimed a mate younger than twenty-one. Scott did a quick calculation and knew she’d turned twenty-one this year. He frowned. Most of the pack celebrated everyone’s birthday, but h

Lilly looked really cute when she was angry. Scott couldn’t help but be charmed by her. Her arms were folded underneath her impressive rack. He wanted to turn her around so he could watch her lose her temper.“Then why don’t you tell me what the problems are?” he asked.She turned to him. Her hazel eyes glanced into his gaze but then stared past his shoulder. He frowned. Why didn’t Lilly ever look him in the eye?“You’re old,” she said.“What?” he asked, struggling to contain the roar inside him.“I’m only twenty-one, but you’re what? Fifty or something. You’re old.”He glared at her, angry at her words. Her hands shook as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Yes, he was nearing over fifty in age, but he looked no older than thirty. Werewolves and most of the sectors in the paranormal community aged slowly when they grew into their powers or abil

Scott walked out of her house needing the fresh air to clear his mind. He couldn’t focus with her close by. Her strawberry and vanilla scent masked everything else to him. Several of his pack stared at him. The men stared at him with respect while the women stared at him with lust. He ignored their lustful stares. Lewis, Darcy, and Nathan stood waiting for him a few feet from the diner.“Did it go well?” Darcy asked.“Raymond likes me. He knows what is at stake if anything happens to her. He’ll protect her. Tonight I want to organise her protection detail. Guards will be placed around her,” he said. There was no way he’d risk his mate.“She’s human,” Nathan said. “What kind of threat is she going to pose?” “Because of her being human, she’s vulnerable. We’ve got witches, warlocks, vampires, and bears coming to Grace Hill. I don’t want them to be tempted in bringing me down because of her.” Scott kept walking. Layla was wiping down tables as the got inside the diner. There were no cust

Scott stood in the centre of the forests waiting for his pack to gather. The first bell had just rung letting the humans know the change was coming. He stared up at the full moon in the sky feeling the power it held over him. His muscles flexed as he watched each member of his pack moving through the clearing. Darcy, Nathan, and Lewis stood beside him. He spotted Daisy as she came through with her mate. Matthew had his arm wrapped his mate. Several other mates were snuggled against each other in bliss. He saw Lori coming toward him.He raised his arms in the air gaining their attention. Silence descended on the gathering.“I want to thank you all for coming tonight. The full moon is powerful, and we use this night to give ourselves over to the night and the beast.”Cheers rang around the pack along with howls.“Tonight I bring great news as well. Today I was mated.”Gasps went around the group. Lori smirked, moving forward.

Lilly’s soft body melted against his. Scott stroked her hair enjoying the feel of the soft locks running through his fingers. Her tits were pressed to his chest. His cock thickened in response to her innocent scent plaguing him. All he wanted to do was push her against the nearest tree and fuck her hard. He’d make her come on his cock then take her with his tongue. There was so much he wanted to do with her. Instead, he held himself back.She was skittish around him. He couldn’t get her to look him in the eye for longer than a few seconds. Staring across her shoulder he watched Lewis dancing with her friend. If he needed to he’d get Lewis to dance with Layla all night long.Having Lilly in his arms was indescribable. “How was your run?” she asked.Scott stared down at her to see her head resting against his chest. “It was good,” he said.“Do you hunt things?”“Sometimes but not tonight as we ran for the power of the full moon.”Staring up at the full moon he relished the energy coursi
