After Mason stopped kissing me and fled the room as though my lips were made of lava, I spent the rest of the afternoon in my room alone. I assumed that Mason had to leave to attend to some kind of urgent pack business but it still didn’t feel good. One second we were kissing passionately and the next he mumbled something incoherent and walked out of the room without even looking back. It hurt that he was able to walk away from me so easily while I was left behind wanting him.After spending a few minutes feeling sorry for myself I started looking around my new room. Mason must have prepared this room for me in a hurry. He had filled the closet with more clothes than I had seen outside of a store before but there was no order to it. They were all different sizes and styles, and every one of them still had the tags attached.It was the same story when I looked through the draws. He had even set out a desk for me in the corner of the room with a brand-new laptop and phone on top of it.

It felt amazing walking into the ballroom with my arm around Brianna’s waist. I had never dated anyone before, never had anyone that I could share my life with. The only person in my life who I could talk to was Rowan, but that wasn’t the same as having a mate. There were certain things you couldn’t really share with your friends no matter how close you were. What I really wanted was the kind of companionship that my parents had together, and Brianna was going to be my chance at obtaining that.I was so busy smiling at my soon to be mate that I didn’t notice Rowan approaching us. When he greeted us both he appeared nervous, as though there was something he was trying to hide from me.“Spit it out because you know that I won’t rest until I work out what is happening.” I told Rowan.“I don’t know what you are talking about.” He tried turning his back on me so I wouldn’t be able to see that he was lying to me, but he had clearly forgotten who he was dealing with. If he wanted to hide som

Mason only left with my mate a few minutes ago but I was already getting anxious. Everyone in the room was looking at me but none of them would approach me or talk to me. It felt as though I was an exhibit in some museum, people would walk past me while talking about the way I was dressed and the way I looked. Some of them even pointed at me as they gossiped about me. I downed the rest of the champagne in my glass, not that it was enough to have much of an effect on an alpha like me. I was going to need a lot more of those if I was going to rid myself of my anxiety. I was here alone while Mason was talking to my mate, probably convincing him that I wasn’t worth the hassle. He would probably come back to the party any moment so that he could reject me. This was meant to be a celebration for my birthday as well as my mating to Mason and I had a feeling that it was going to end with me crying. I probably didn’t help my situation by not pushing Mason away when he tried to kiss me. But

“That was amazing, I can't wait to find out how good you are at other things.” Mason had his eyes closed and a huge smile on his face as he stroked my hair. It had been a while since I had done that with anyone, I had been worried that I might have lost my edge. It looks as though I didn’t need to worry about that, Mason seemed more than satisfied with my performance. “I offered you some of those other things but you turned me down.” I replied, teasing him. “I don’t know what he was thinking.” He? “Wha…” I started before Mason interrupted me by throwing me onto my back and covering me with his body. I was suddenly very aware of how few clothes we were both wearing, and the fact that his cock was pressing against my entrance. Just one small movement of his hips and he would be inside of me. He lowered his lips to my neck and started kissing me. “We could always fix that, I could make you mine right here and now.” He purred. He started running his teeth along the side of my neck,

It had been a while since the last time I had woken up in the forest with blood in my mouth but it was something that I was starting to get painfully used to. That didn’t mean that it was getting any easier, every time I woke up in this position I was worried that this was the time that my wolf had done something unforgivable. I would worry until my wolf calmed down enough for our connection to stabilise and my memories of the previous night started to come back to me. Today was no different. I remembered Brianna pleasuring me but after that things got a little fuzzy. I know that my wolf really wanted me to mark Brianna, I just hoped that he hadn’t done anything to hurt her while he had full control over my body. My wolf growled at my silent accusation. He was still a little feral after last night but I was able to read some of the intention behind his growl. He was angry that I was accusing him of doing something to hurt our future mate.That was a good sign at least, when he took
