Semua Bab The Mark of Betrayal: Bab 11 - Bab 20

RomanThank the goddess Pierce recognized that Samantha was going to try and escape. She wouldn’t have, but I’d have been pissed off if she’d have stabbed me thinking that injuring me would give her a head start.I knew she was going to have fire, and I knew she was going to challenge me, but damn I didn’t know how much I was going to like it. Yeah, I’m irritated. Yeah, I want to strangle her for thinking that the measly piece of metal she pulled out of the toilet was actually going to hurt me. But that fire, that fight? Damn am I turned on.I once again wonder how Alpha William didn’t know she was an Alpha. He must have. He’s not a strong and powerful Alpha, not anymore, but he was at one time and I’m sure his pack will be again when his young son finally takes over in six years. So, he must have known and that makes me wonder ... did he know who she was when she arrived at his borders?I crawl into bed behind Samantha, pulling her body against mine, then putting my arm over her again

RomanDamn this woman. I can’t remember ever being so turned on in my life. Yeah, her body looks like the best fucking playground I’ve ever seen, and I want to spend hours, days even enjoying every glorious part of her. But her mind? Holy hell! She’s got a quick wit and is constantly challenging me. I’d be turned on even if she wasn’t the most stunningly sexy and attractive women I’ve ever seen. But that sharp, intelligent mind is wrapped in a gorgeous fucking package.I take my time looking her over, knowing it makes her uncomfortable. She’s mine and I like that she’s not strutting in front of me. I knew it was doubtful that she’d been with anyone else, especially hiding as an omega. But her shyness at being naked in front of me only proves that I’m right. When she gives herself to me, I’ll be the only man to ever have her, ever taste her, ever enjoy the delights that I’m sure to experience when I’m inside her.“Hurry up and shower, Stinky, so we can get on the road,” I taunt. I almos

RomanI didn’t ask for this room, The Brenner Room. I guess it’s just my dumb luck that after thinking about Theo so frequently over the last two days, we’d be put in the room I named after his family. I’ve named a lot of things after my friend and his family. Theo loved to hunt and fish, so I’d opened a hunting and fishing store and named it Theo’s. Luna Jessica had loved her jewelry, so I’d opened a jewelry store and named it Jessica’s Jewels. I even opened a medical center because little Samara was always chasing after me, Theo, and Sawyer and skinning her knees or cutting her hands when she would inevitably fall. Not having gotten her wolf, she always needed medical attention, so I’d named Samara’s Medical Center for Children after her.At the time, I’d been wrought with grief, and I didn’t care how much money I was spending. I just felt the need to do something, anything, to let Theo and his family know that I was sorry for not being there in time to save them. Whether it was Theo

RomanGoddess, being in this room brings back so many memories. Seeing the picture of Theo on the mantle, I swear I can hear his laughter.Maybe it’s this room, maybe it’s the commonalities between Samantha and Samara, maybe it’s that Theo’s birthday is coming up soon, but it’s like all of that grief from nine years ago is pressing down on me, making it hard for me to breathe.‘Focus on our mate,’ Pierce says softly. He feels the pain of losing Raye as much as I feel the pain of losing Theo. All four of us were best friends. Our wolves treated each other as much like brothers as Theo and I did.I look up and see her staring at me like I’ve grown another head. Shit! She was finally opening up to me a little and I started going down memory lane.I push the past aside and focus on my mate. I pick up my knife and tap her plate.“Let me know if it’s to your liking,” I tell her. She blinks at me, then slices into her steak.White hot desire flashes through me as I watch her eyes roll back in

RomanSamantha’s kindness was unexpected but very welcome. I’m not used to others looking out for me like that. Yes, the pack takes care of each other, and yes, I know my warriors would lay down their lives for me. But at the end of the day, I’m the Alpha. It’s my job to protect the pack and set aside my feelings and emotions to look after and protect them. When we had gotten in the car, I'd felt raw from our conversation about Theo and his family. Rather than use that against me like I expected she would, Samantha had proven to me that she is all Alpha and beyond worthy of being my Luna. She’d engaged Eric in pleasant conversation, giving me time to collect myself.I step out of the car, seeing the pack members already assembling. I’m not surprised. My pack would have heard about me being in a room with Samantha long before Sawyer did.“What’s this?” Samantha asks as I walk around the car to stand beside her.“The pack heard that I had an unknown, unmarked female in a private room alo
