“You feel so good,” he murmurs, as he starts to slowly rock into me.

“Of course I do, I’m your mate.” I reach up and put my hand on the back of his neck, tugging to get him to lower his upper body.

He moves down, bringing us closer together.

This is how it should be between us.

He’s my Alpha, and I’m his Omega.

We weren’t made to be mated only to spend days and weeks and months away from each other.

Our lives can’t go on like that. It’s no good for either of us. It’s no good for our pack.

I gaze up at him, and I know I don’t want to be broken apart again.

My heart can’t take being separated any longer.

“I can’t leave you again,” I admit. “I won’t.”

“I want you to stay.”

He means it, I can feel it.

For the first time in months, I feel secure.

I’m with Ezra and Owen’s on his way out here to be with us.

Pete’s here, too,anda new mate we’ve barely spent any time with.

I smile back at my Alpha.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

Chapter Thirteen

Lana

Once I leave Dr. Clarke’s visitors alone in his suite, my senses start to return to me. The spicy-sweet scent of Shadow’s perfume is little more than a memory that fades out more and more the further I move away from the source.

My head clears after the flush of lust drains out of my body.

My panties feel damp, and my skin is oddly tender, but I finally stop feeling like I’m dangerously close to having some kind of spontaneous orgasm in front of, and because of, two incredibly attractive strangers.

It's been one hell of a morning, that’s for sure.

I step back into the reception area and Erika looks up from her desk.

She gives me a friendly smile and I realize she probably would have felt it if I’d still been having lusty feelings. That would have made for an embarrassing encounter.

Thank God all I’m full of right now is relief.

It’s bad enough having to make it through awkward encounters with people I’m attracted to.

I really don’t need that kind of uncomfortable energy with my new receptionist.

I slow to a stop at her desk. “Everything good?”

She nods. “All under control.”
