Page 58 of Fated Alpha Protector

I shake my head at her, refusing to join her at the table. Instead, I turn in the opposite direction and head back to the house.

‘Alpha Theo! Where are you going?’ her urgent voice rings out in my head.

My lips curl into a smirk, knowing that it’ll only be a matter of time before she follows me. ‘I told you we should get out, Luna Mia,’ I chuckle as I open the front door.

Standing between the doorway, I cross my arms and lean against the frame, her sigh signaling that she’s coming over.

Chapter 21

MIA

“What is this?” I ask with a lighthearted giggle. Clutching tightly to Theo’s wrists where his hands cover my eyes, I’m walking blindly down the upstairs hallway.

He’d been so adamant to leave the wedding festivities, that I’d been forced to follow him back home.

Okay, not forced. I’d come here out of my own will, because curiosity had taken over.

And as soon as we made it upstairs, he’d covered my eyes and guided me the rest of the way.

The intensity of his cologne in the air I breathe signals that we’ve neared his bedroom.

“Theo?!” I protest with a pout, but his palms only tighten over my eyes.

“Just a sec, Mia,” Theo chuckles. “Take off your shoes.”

Beneath his palms, my brows knit to a frown. Still, I take his instructions and kick off my heels. When I’m on my bare feet, he guides me to take a step forward. I feel a velvety softness under the soles of my feet before he removes his hands.

As soon as I’m able to see again, my eyes open up to the beautiful setting in front of me. Theo’s bedroom is scattered with white candles, a path of rose petals leading up to his bed.

“Wow…” I marvel, lifting a hand to my mouth as I’m filled with pleasant surprise.

Behind me, Theo chuckles nervously. “What do you think?”

“It’s perfect!” I cry as I throw him a glance over my shoulder. “I love it!”

Turning back to the inside of the bedroom, I make my way down the path of rose petals while Theo follows me. When I get to the bed, awareness courses down my spine as I feel his hot breath against the shell of my ear.

“You look very beautiful in this dress…” he admires with a whisper as one hand claims my hip and pulls me back. Flush against him, I can feel the outline of his erection as it digs into the soft flesh of my ass.

“.. But now, it’s time to take it off,” he drawls as he hitches a finger beneath the dress strap and pulls it down my shoulder. He repeats the motion on the opposite side, and slowly pulls down the zip along my spine.

I shudder when the dress unravels and slips off my torso. It slips down all the way and gathers around my ankles, and I’m left in nothing but my white lace underwear.

I hear Theo sucking in a breath through his lips before that breath fans on my nape. His hand travels up my bare belly, pulling me to him again as he wraps his fingers around my neck.

I’m so inebriated, my eyelids flutter closed and I tilt my head to one side. Exposing the side of my neck where the pad of his thumb caresses my flesh. Like the gentlest encouragement for an act that is natural to the werewolf kind.

“Hm…” he hums as he breathes in my scent. I can almost feel the scent gland on my neck pulse to the beat of his heart. “I’ve been wanting to do this ever since I knew you were my fated mate.”

“Do it…” I whisper like I’m pleading with him. Begging him to do what my heart and soul desires the most. My body arches into him as his lips coast the sensitive spot below my earlobe.

“With pleasure,” he purrs before his canines distend with a bleat of sharp metal.

“I, Theo Marrock, take you, Mia Alvarez, as my mate and Luna,” he declares, waiting with bated breath for me to utter the words that would complete this ritual.

“I…” I begin with a shudder, realizing the magnitude of what I’m about to say. And the implications it has on my body. “... Mia Alvarez, accept your demand, Alpha Theo Marrock.”

As the pointed tips of his teeth sink into my flesh, I mewl and writhe as pleasure courses through me. The only pain I feel is the puncturing of my flesh which is blurred by the pleasure that runs through me and pools between my thighs.
