I chuckle, shaking my head. It will take time to get the wolves in the pack to see me as more than just their alpha’s mate.
“You stick with me, or you stay behind,” Archer growls from behind me.
I flinch. With all the rumors about a spy in the pack, he’s been more overbearing than ever.
Coming back to the pack to see someone had ransacked the place made everything real. Slowly I stand and turn to Archer nodding my head. It does no good to argue with him when he’s like this.
What few things I had were shredded, but Archer’s clothes were perfectly fine. It was his office that was his problem.
“I will stay by you. There’s no need to get all growly with me.” I raise a brow at him.
His eyes flash with warning, and I look away, baring my neck in submission showing him his mating mark, and he blows out a breath.
“Good.” He wraps a hand around my arm, pulling me away from the rest of the pack to undress so I can shift.
Nudity doesn’t bother shifters, but Archer is possessive and rarely lets his male shifters around me. We argued about the pack run about me going.
He storms through the forest, pulling me with him for several minutes. He holds tree branches aside as he moves so I don’t get scratched by the rough branches. I don’t think he intends to stop until we are a mile away from the pack.
“Where are we going, Archer?” I ask as he drags me further and further away from the others.
“We are going to shift away from the pack. We discussed this.” He growls.
“Why so far? I don’t think anyone can see me all the way out here.” I say in confusion.
“The rumors.” He says shortly.
We may be watched then.
Got it. His paranoia is a living thing lately.
“Okay, but separating us from the pack so thoroughly would give the spy an opportunity if it's more than just rumors, right?” I ask, raising a brow, gently taking my arm from his hand and undressing.
Archer watches with barely restrained hunger in his eyes.
I slide my pants down my legs slowly, turning before bending down in front of him, receiving a growl in response to my teasing.
“Watch how you tease me, mate, or I will cancel this run and take you right here.”
I turn my head, grinning at him over my shoulder, and scamper out of the way as he reaches for me. Before he can get to me, I shift smoothly into my russet wolf.
Shaking out my fur, I yip at Archer with excitement as he undresses. A whimper escapes, and the asshole chuckles as he continues to undress slowly.
“Turn about is fair play, little mate.”
His chuckle has my fur standing on end. The man never laughs, and that chuckle should be illegal for what it does to my body.
He palms his cock, raising a brow at me. “You still want to go for a run?”
I bark at him, nudging him with my snout. We can’t mind link like this, so communication is difficult.
“You’re right. It will be much more satisfying after a run.” He shifts into his onyx wolf and nips at my ear playfully.
I dodge him and race through the trees with my mate hot on my tail.
He barks, warning me that I must stay by him, and I slow my pace.
You promised to stay with me, mate.He says through the mate link; we can only use while shifted.
