“You are of Pack Edwards.”

I struck hard and quick, biting down and sucking the fresh blood into my mouth before quickly swiping my tongue across the wound to aid her natural healing.

She yanked back after a moment, holding her palm to the bite and pressing down hard.

“Thank you. Here.” I reached out with my own arm, giving Senna access to the inside of my forearm.

“What?” She furrowed her brow at me.

“Complete the claiming, Omega. Take your bite.”

Senna shook her head. “I never…Terrance didn’t do this part.”

My stomach fell into my feet, and my eyebrows shot up to my hairline. “He left you half-claimed? What the—how could he do that? Is everyone in the Collins pack half-claimed?”

That tinge of rage touched Senna’s scent again, burning it.

“Yes. As far as I know.”

I tilted her chin up as Senna looked down at the already healing injury, silently glad that fate hadn’t taken that from her as well.

“We do not do that here. Take your bite, Omega.”

Offering my arm again, I waited as Senna just stared at me. It took several minutes before she finally took hold of my wrist and brought it near her mouth, meeting my eyes.

“I, Senna Richards, join the Edwards Pack.” She looked down, then sighed before rolling her eyes up to me. “I don’t have fangs. I’m not going to be able to—”

I pulled my arm back for a moment, scoring my skin with a quick nip through my flesh. Extending the slice toward her again, I watched as Senna gingerly took my hand and lowered her lips to the bleeding bite.

“Go on.”

She sealed her mouth around it for just a moment, enough to get the blood into her mouth and swallow it down. She sat back up, blinking her eyes and gasping as the power hit her. She’d never been entirely pack claimed. It was a wonder not everyone in with Terrance didn’t shrivel up and die. Wolves are pack creatures, and alphas are meant to be a part of that pack, not just leading it.

Taking my wrist back, I licked over the wound to smooth away the blood, and my skin began to knit itself back together. After a few moments, it was only a few pink dots on my wrist.

“That feels…different.”

Senna shook herself, pulling back farther away from me as the last dregs of the excommunication left her. I could smell just the faintest bit of my natural scent, something I’d been told was akin to leather and pine, mingled with hers.

My wolf roared inside me, demanding I take her now. It wanted so much to finally solidify that mate bond, and hells, she smelled so damn good with a bit of my blood in her.

“You’re fully claimed by a pack. I should think so.” My voice was harsh, raspy. “I…I can’t believe it’s you. That you’re here. My m—”

“Don’t. Don’t you dare.” Senna stared daggers at me before getting up off the bed and putting as much distance between us as possible. “Not after leaving me there like I was nothing.”

“That’s not…I didn’t mean…”

She scoffed at me. “Oh? Where’s that alpha command now? You can’t just steal me into your pack and expect everything to be forgiven. I’ll gladly go through all that again if I have to. I won’t let you just use me. Breed me.”

Pounding on the door stole my attention, and I knew that Kaiden was just outside with Kenzie. Dammit, they’re going to have…questions.

Flicking my attention back to Senna, I narrowed my eyes at her, breathing that growing rose and almond scent of hers.

“Get comfortable, Senna. I’ll be back.” I turned my back, knowing she wouldn’t dare attack me just yet, not so soon after the excommunication symptoms. “You won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.”

Chapter 7 - Senna

My senses were still going haywire as Jet left the room. Jet. That’s his name. My…no, don’t do that to yourself.
