Page 82 of Alpha's Unclaimed Mate

Her body responds instinctively, arching slightly beneath me. Her breath comes in soft, hurried gasps, and I feel her heartbeat quicken. I continue to kiss her, savoring every touch and taste, letting the heat between us build.

A loud moan tears through me as she boldly trails her fingersdown my stomach, reaches inside my shorts and cups my length.

I have to pull away from the kiss to see her. I need to make sure this moment between us is real.

“You want me.”

It isn’t a question, and while her eyes are heavy with desire, she smirks before stroking me gently. I groan.

I lean in closer, my breath warm against her ear as I whisper, “But this time, you stay with me forever.” Her soft hum sends a wave of ecstasy rolling over me, and I deepen the kiss, feeling our bond intensify with every touch.

There’s a light noise in the background but I ignore it, wanting to revel in the connection between us.

Soon the loud knocks on the door are impossible to ignore. I want to break something.

“Fuck!” I growl, pulling away in frustration while Seren giggles softly. Is this going to happen every single time we’re together?

“What?” I yell, not moving an inch away from her. “Who is it?”

“Theron, you’ve got to see this. You’re going to be blown away.” Luke’s voice breaks the moment, and I roll off my mate, exhaling sharply.

Seren sits up, rubbing my shoulder before getting off the bed to throw me a T-shirt while I walk over to the door. My limp is almost gone.

I run my fingers through my hair before I open the door and step outside.

“Ow!” I take a step back as Luke smacks a newspaper on my chest.

“Look at what the fuck just happened!”

I frown, still annoyed about the interruption. Nothing could be worth breaking the moment Seren and I were sharing. But then I see the picture on the front page: Landon in handcuffs, along with his famous old money father-in-law and a politician.

I exhale, glancing at the picture again just to make sure it’s him.

“Landon’s finished,” Luke confirms, his voice cutting through my disbelief. “Adams is one of the top guys in the opposition party. With the election so close, this is going to be massive. The ruling party will make an example out of them. They’ve got all the proof. There’s nothing Landon can do to stop it. He’s done.”

I shake my head, letting the news settle in. My fingers tighten around the edges of the paper as I read the headline again.

“After years of fighting, I can’t believe it’s finally over.” A smile tugs at my lips and a surge of satisfaction warms my chest.

Luke chuckles and we hug, slapping each other’s backs. “It’s why they tell us to fight smarter, not harder.”

“Seren,” I whisper, almost in awe. “She did this.”

As he pulls away, he says, “You should tell her. The pack is going to worship her.”

A profound sense of pride wells up inside me. I nod, more to myself than to Luke, feeling the strength of my mate’s impact resonate within me.

While Luke walks away, I head back to my room, locking the door behind me.

I find Seren right beside the door, her back against the wall as I step inside. A wide grin is plastered on her face. I pull her in for a hug.

“Congratulations!” she whispers in my ear, and my cock twitches.

“I should be saying that to you, since this was your idea. I only put it in motion,” I whisper.

She giggles. “I guess we did it as a team.”
