He disagreed, “Yes, really. Haley has gone through our dealings and pointed out we don’t treat Sophia like an Alpha. She said it’s still sexism if we don’t treat her how we treat each other. She pointed out if you had done this to Sophia instead of her to you; we’d have confronted you, probably punched you and gotten everything fixed.” Bolt agreed, “He’s right.”

Eric groaned, “We’ve let her get away with being a shitty ally instead of giving her a mentor.” I pointed out, “She refused a mentor.” Eric replied, “I should’ve made her take one after the first five promises she backed out on. She is a good Alpha to her pack, but she’s not a good ally. If you acted how she did I’d be in your territory telling you to shape up.” I pointed out, “You’re my mentor.” He agreed, “Yes, but it wouldn’t matter. I’d do it to any ally of mine. I don’t because she’s a woman, and as my mate pointed out; that’s not helping anyone but especially not Sophia.”

I realized something, “You’re getting her a mentor, aren’t you?” He answered, “Yes. She needs one, and I should’ve a while ago. She’s responsible for her choices, and I am for mine. I feel bad I haven’t done this, and I can’t help but think it would’ve avoided her spiral of selfishness. She’s hurting but she’s hurting everyone else too. It can’t continue like this.”

I looked at Lexi, “I agree. I guess we all don’t handle Sophia the way we do each other.” It was easy to see now. We tried so hard to show we approved that we didn’t hold her to the same standard. She knew it too, and she used it to her advantage to find her dad’s murderer. Which proved she had the chops to be an Alpha on one hand, and on the other it showed she hadn’t grown up yet. We talked a little longer then hung up.

I put my phone down and pulled Lexi to me. I fell asleep perfectly content for the first time in quite a white. I woke to kisses on my chest. My eyes snapped open. Lexi’s looked up at me. I ordered, “Turn your head.” She smiled and turned her head so I could see her mark.

It wasn’t as large as the she wolves in our pack, but there on her neck was a black wolf with my name below it. I purred, “It looks beautiful.” With a feather light touch I brushed my fingertips over it. Lexi shivered.

I smirked, “I’m going to make you come by only touching your mark.” I lightly kissed her skin. She moaned, “Chase... oh god…” I alternated between biting and licking. I was being gentler than I would once her mark was fully healed. She was grinding her hips against mine for friction. I nipped her one last time, and she screamed her orgasm.

I chuckled, “I believe you doubted that I could do that once you were marked.” She flipped us on the bed and slid onto me. I gripped her hips. She admitted, “You were right.” She lifted herself almost completely off me and slid back down. She pulled me up to her mouth and grabbed my hand. She placed my hand on her breast. I pinched her nipple as she rode me. She moaned, “Yes, Just like that.”

I took her other nipple into my mouth. She started riding me faster and harder. We both came violently. Lexi stood and walked over to her suitcase. I huffed, “Clothes are the enemy.” Lexi laughed, “But I’m hungry.” I grumbled, “Alright.”

I got up and got in the shower. Lexi joined me by wrapping her arms around me. I raised an eyebrow, “I thought you were hungry.” Lexi smirked, “I could wait a little longer.” I smiled and slid into her. When we made it out of the shower Lexi quickly disappeared into our room. I heard her laugh.

I grabbed shorts and a t-shirt and walked out into the room. I stopped short when I saw her. Lexi was in a short black dress with red flowers on it, that showed off her cleavage. Lexi turned, “Haley snapped my suitcase packed.” I looked her up and down. “Remind me to thank her. Profusely.” Lexi teased, “Wait until you see the swimsuits.”

I grabbed Lexi’s hand and took her outside to the Jeep. I took her to a local place down the street. She looked around, “This is nice. Being out with you in public with other people around.” I kissed her hand, “We will be able to do this at home soon. I’ll do anything for you.” We ordered and ate quickly.

We drove back to the house and walked on the beach together. Lexi ran ankle deep into the water. I chased after her and she waded out a little deeper to get away from me. I wrapped her up around the waist once I caught her. She smiled and kissed me. We went back to the house and didn’t leave the room until the next day.

I took Lexi snorkeling. She was so giddy about it because she’d never been. We went out on the boat with the instructor. When Lexi took off her cover up, I almost fell off the boat. She was in a blue bikini swimsuit and it was breathtaking.

I slid up behind her nuzzling her neck, “I shouldn’t have paid for an instructor. I could’ve taken you right now if not for that minor oversight.” She giggled, “Now you know for next time.” She grabbed her gear and jumped off the boat.

The instructor laughed, “Your wife is very eager.” Lexi and I looked into each other's eyes. I smiled agreeing, “Yes, she is.” Lexi blushed and I jumped in after her. We swam together. Lexi was so excited she was pointing to everything she saw.

When our time was up, she begrudgingly agreed to swim back on the boat. I helped get her out of the water pulling her up. The instructor complimented us, “You are a beautiful couple.” Lexi blushed again and I pulled her against me. I said, “Thank you. It’s all her.”

We drove home in silence holding hands. When we got inside Lexi walked into the living room. I came up behind her and untied her top. I whispered, “This top has been mocking me all day.” I threw it across the room once I’d untied it.

Lexi sighed and laid her head back onto my shoulder. I ran my hands across her chest and down her stomach. Her breaths started to come in gasps. She turned without warning and jumped on me. I was surprised for a second but wrapped my hands in her hair.

I stumbled into the bedroom. I tripped falling onto bed as she’d taken my swim trunks off with her toes. I asked, “Lexi?” She whimpered, “I need you. I need you right now.” I growled at the blatant need I saw in her eyes. I yanked her bikini bottoms off and entered her. Her nails raked down my back. She came the second time I thrust into her. I laughed, “So eager.”

I bit her mark. She drew blood when her nails dug into my shoulder. I growled and pounded into her. I demanded to know, “Is this what you needed?” Lexi screamed, “GOD, YES!” We didn’t leave the bed the rest of the day. We were both insatiable the rest of our trip. We’d both gotten tans from attempting to sit by the pool. Usually, it just led to use having sex on the lounge chairs or in the pool.

When it was time to leave Lexi cried, and it broke my heart. She turned to me with tears running down her cheeks. She asked, “Can’t we stay? I love it here. We can just be us here.” I assured her, “Sweetheart, we can come back whenever you like. Ok? I promise. Please don’t cry.”

Lexi wiped her eyes, “I don’t even know why I’m crying. It’s silly. Everything just feels so perfect here. Noah’s not around to fuck anything up. Your situation isn’t going on. We can go out without our baggage hanging over our heads. No crazy warlocks or witches popped up to try to mess with us. No rogues. Just us.”

I kissed her. When I pulled back, I looked into her eyes, “I love you, Lexi Scott.” She whispered, “I love you too.” I ran my fingers over her mark enjoying her shiver. I said, “That right there is forever. You’re mine. No matter what life throws at us. No matter the chaos that comes. You are mine.” She nodded and wiped her tears again.

She apologized, “I’m sorry. I’ve just really liked it here.” I smiled, “So have I. I think it started a tradition for us. Getting away before the holidays and coming back to place I marked you.” Lexi smiled, “I like that tradition. I want to mark you on Christmas.”

I growled, “You’re getting me hard at the thought of you marking me when we have to get on a plane. You’ll have to bite me really hard to mark me.” Lexi playfully bit me, “I can do that.” I growled, “We need to go before I throw you down on the floor and take you.”

I grabbed our bags, and we got into the Jeep. Lexi went quiet on me again. When we got to the airport she sighed. I reached over and squeezed her thigh, “Hey, we really can come back whenever you want.” She smiled, “I know.”

We got onto the plane. Lexi’s eyes closed almost the second we took off. I frowned. I unbuckled her and took her back to the bedroom onboard. She slept the entire trip home. The flight attendant knocked on the door. She smiled, “You guys switched places. Last time she watched you, and this time you watched her. You must have worn the Luna out, Alpha.”

I winked, “We had a lot of fun.” The flight attendant said, “Everyone is really excited for you both, Alpha. We are very happy you’ve found our Luna.” I nodded, “Thank you.” She waved her hand, “Anyway, I came back to tell you it’s time to buckle up for landing.”

I picked Lexi up and carried her back to her seat. She didn’t open her eyes until we landed. She jolted, “Are we home already?” I smiled, “We are. You slept the whole way here.” She yawned and stretched. She grinned at me, “Let’s get going. I’m sure Ted has an inquisition planned for me. I also need to explain some things to you that I may or may not have learned in Fresno and Russia. You’ll never know.”
