I growled, “If you get here in the next two minutes, I’ll use the damn window.” I saw the car come into view. Matt gloated, “I’m just beating all the deadlines tonight. I unbuckled her seatbelt and everything.”
I had her plucked out of the car in seconds. I pushed her against the tree I’d been waiting by. I linked Matt, “Get out of here.” Matt responded, “We already left. You’re in such a state of tunnel vision for your mate.” I couldn’t stop myself from tasting her lips. Bolt was howling in delight.
I actually laughed watching her run from me. She was still fast drunk, but not as fast as she normally was. I had to hold myself back the entire run to the house from pouncing on her. We’d never make it inside if I hadn’t. My possessiveness was flowing through me.
I attacked her neck, fighting every instinct in me to mark her as mine. I bit her neck roughly, not breaking the skin. Bolt said, “We could just give her a lot of hickey’s if you insist on not marking her.” I agreed, “That works for me. People will know she’s mine.” Bolt growled, “Ours.” I wasn’t going to be able to stop myself from marking her in some way; hickey’s it was.
She’d be screaming my name all night long. She might even have to call into work tomorrow. I wasn’t sure I could stop since I wasn’t going to mark her. I longed to see my mark on her neck. It was torture knowing others could come up to her and try to dance with her when she was out tonight. I couldn’t be like Matt or Alpha Eric and go dance with my woman.
I inhaled deeply when I got to her waist. I smelled another werewolf. I was enraged. Someone touched her. FUCKER! She was MINE! Her naked body was a glorious sight to behold. No one would see this again except me. She was all mine. When she took me in her mouth, I was ready to explode. I wanted to do that inside her.
Kincade linked me, “Uhh Alpha, we can hear you guys.” I kicked the door shut. Sliding into her was my new heaven. This is what I’d needed all damn day. Bolt took over a few times. I made her say she was mine over and over.
My blood was pumping in my ears. I couldn’t release control to her, and I couldn’t stop. After several rounds I lightly threw her on the couch ready to give her a little control. I wasn’t anywhere near done with her. Then she ran from me.
My Sweetheart wanted to play. She didn’t run outside the barrier. Kevin linked me, “What is happening?” I growled, “GO HOME!” He responded, “Going home.” I slammed the door shut every time she ran inside. No one was going to hear her screams but me. Bolt and I were letting her have her fun. I could’ve caught her long before I did. She was just guaranteeing she wasn’t getting any sleep tonight.
When she headed upstairs, I decided the game was over. I somehow got harder as I looked at her body with my love bites all over her. I couldn’t help but become enraged at the people trying to keep her from me. They would all suffer. Noah could never have her; she was mine. My dad would never keep her from me either. Logically, I knew he wouldn’t if he knew she was mine. He loved me, and I knew that.
But no one could keep her from me. She was mine and I was hers. Bolt and I were taking turns claiming her. If I couldn’t mark her as mine, then by god someone was going to smell me all over her. At this point they’d smell me inside her. I didn’t even give her a break in the shower. If she could clean herself while I had my way with her then more power to her. I took her three more times before we managed to get outside. I didn’t want to let her go.
Kevin and Kincade’s head swung around when we came out. Kincade linked, “She reeks of you Alpha. Literally. I can’t see you, but I smell her.” He smelled lots of sex too, but he didn’t say it. I smirked, “I know.”
No one who was around her today could miss my scent if they had supernatural senses. I kissed Lexi then forced myself to let her get in her car and leave. I stood there until Matt linked me, “So, Lexi made it to her office. Where the hell are you?” I answered, “I’m coming.” I shifted and ran home.
My dad was waiting at the door. I growled, “Go away.” My dad begged, “Chase, please just talk to me.” I stepped up to him, “Get OUT of my way.” My dad sadly stated, “Susie won’t talk to me, you won’t talk to me, only Cameron will and even he’s mad at me.”
I glared at him, “Then stop acting like this scared little twat. Be my dad. You know the one who let Cameron and I live our lives. I think we’ve all catered to this fear of yours long enough. Mom would’ve put you in your place if you’d EVER tried to do to Cameron or me what you’ve done to Susie. You’re lucky Nadine is an understanding woman. Susie is not a glass doll.”
He winced, “It scares me, Chase. She’s so vulnerable. Your mom was a seasoned warrior and rogues overwhelmed her. She was supposed to be safe here.” I inhaled, “It was Alpha Hammond’s dad’s border that wasn’t safe, not ours.” My dad looked away, “If I let them out of my sight it could happen again. I can’t lose anyone else. Not you, Cameron, Nadine, or Susie. You guys are my whole damn world.”
I told him, “You’re not going to lose us unless you continue with this bullshit you’re on now.” My dad argued, “I’m worried and…” I cut him off, “I’m an adult. I can date whoever I want. YOU do not get to try to interfere and try to keep her from me. You do NOT get to rub salt in a wound about someone’s parents being dead.” He winced.
I added, “In case you needed to feel like more of an ass let me explain that situation to you. Lexi’s mother is dead too. She found them murdered in her childhood home. She refused to leave her dead mother’s body, insisting they just needed to keep pressure on her wound. Someone cut her mother’s throat open. Lexi had a broken arm from tripping over her father’s body.”
My dad cringed but I wasn’t done, “Her screams alerted her people that something had happened. They had to sedate her to get her off her mother’s body as she cried. That’s what you so callously tossed in her face yesterday. Be the man who raised me. I know you’re scared because of what happened to mom, and I get it. The reality is Susie needs you to be the dad you were to Cameron and me. Until you turn back into him, I have no interest in speaking to you.” I pushed past him and went inside.
Matt was waiting in my office. “Do I need to remind you that this office is the ONLY place that was fairy charmed?” I answered, “No. What do you have for me?” Matt sighed, “Bickering outside where the damn pack can hear you. Ted is cackling as he applies concealer to Lexi. Everywhere. Her jaw? Seriously Chase?” I winked.
Matt rolled his eyes, “I also have reports of a finally dead vampire.” I was surprised, “I heard that Alpha Eric defanged the vampire, not killed him.” Matt snorted, “I see we are ignoring all the hickey comments trying to brush it off with a simple wink. Alrighty then. Yes, Alpha Eric defanged and ripped the arms of said vampire off. King Arthur killed the vampire for trying to attack the Princess in the club. Apparently, he’s quite fond of her. He’s the one who helped her on the inside when former King Damon kidnapped her.”
I observed, “That makes sense. Anyone who meets her likes her.” Matt corrected, “Loves her. I love her. Beta Dylan is the president of her fan club. I’m actually much less concerned for him now that he has a mate. He’s been obsessed with Haley since she first spoke to him. Now it’s a normal I have a mate but she’s great kind of thing. I was worried he was going to get himself killed there for a while. Which would be a damn shame. He’s a treasure.”
Derrick piped up, “Me too. Love the Princess that is, she’s entertaining. I also thought Beta Dylan was trying to get himself killed. Thank GOD Lacy Lyons was brought home. We all knew he liked her, except the Alpha’s. He just delighted in having the Princess around because Alpha Eric is over the moon about her. He smiles. The second that happened Beta Dylan was off to the races.”
Matt sighed, “We still need a fairy of our own.” At that moment, a pop sounded in my office. I growled, “King Aiden.” He smiled, “Did I arrive early?” I asked, “Early?” Matt looked at his watch, “About fifteen minutes early, King Aiden.” He turned to me, “We have a meeting with King Aiden in fifteen minutes. It was my next agenda topic.” I asked, “Why?”
King Aiden sat down. He smiled, “Well Alpha Chase, I have recently secured an alliance with the Hood himself, and by extension his people. Your pack now has a member of the Hood in it. I have recently appointed a liaison for their organization. Isn’t that such a fun thing they all say? Organization. Not a supernatural group, they go with organization. I like them. Should my man pop up here to speak with your TeleTed, I would like you to be aware my fairy is a friendly one. He intends him no harm.”
He smiled then added, “The Hood told me that was his name. I asked how he got it, and about fell out of the chair when he said Haley gave it to him. Isn’t my sister brilliant? I laughed for hours about this young man’s nickname. Haley is priceless. Anyway, my liaison’s name is Exsis.”
Matt groaned, “Please god no.” I linked him, “What?” King Aiden laughed, “Did Haley’s wolf send out word already? He does work fast. I believe he only recently found out about Exsis.” I closed my eyes. Great. Just what we needed. A fairy who Alpha Eric didn’t like popping around. Sure, I didn’t have enough problems.
Matt answered, “His Beta did a few weeks ago. We were asked to let them know if a fairy named Exsis came around.” I studied Aiden, “You know your sister has a relationship with the Hood and several members in it. Including our Beta Male.” Aiden smiled, “From what I have observed; my sister is quite close with your Beta Male’s business partner. They have a deep bond, but yes she does seem to be friends with your TeleTed as well.”
I questioned, “So what’s your game? I don’t think you’d endanger your sister. If Alpha Eric is worried about this fairy, it means this is someone who’s interested in her. I’m guessing it’s sexually if Alpha Eric is upset about it. Why would you do that? When you KNOW Exsis will cross paths with them at some point. Do you want Exsis to die? Or are you looking to have your sister cheat? I can assure you the latter will not happen. I heard it directly from her mouth, and it was my understanding she could not cheat on him because they are twice light bound.”
Aiden laughed, “I do not want my sister with Exsis. Why would I? Haley could not cheat on her wolf physically, nor emotionally and it is not in her personality to do so; very un-fairy of her. From the standpoint of my kingdom, my sister and her wolf produce POWERFUL children. I could want nothing more. Even if a fairy had a child with her, that child would not be anywhere close to as powerful as her children with her wolf. She could not bear another’s child though. Her light wouldn’t allow it. I will not condone anyone raping my sister. Anyone who tries will die, by my hand, her wolf’s, or by the assassin’s hands. So no, I do not want her with a fairy. I am VERY happy about the state of my sister and her relationship. I do not wish Exsis to die either.”
