"That's our mate," Saphira said, giggling in my head.
My body tensed up and froze. Mate?
Like most female werewolves you'd think I'd be excited and happy to have finally found my mate, but I was the opposite. I wasn't ready for my mate. I still so much I wanted to do and having a mate would mess it up because of their protective nature and the tempers and saying who you can and can't hang out with. I am FAR from ready for that.
"Mom, Dad, Tony, I'm going for a run. Saphira is antsy." I said to my family through our family mind link. My dad glanced over at me and nodded his head with approval. My mother did the same and my brother was too distracted by the games to even look at me.
Men.
I got up and headed to the arena exit as quickly as I could through the crowd. Everyone began cheering and I guessed it was because one of the Alphas had won the race.
Should I turn around?
No, No, I can't.
Maybe...
"Shut the hell up and turn the f**k around, I want to see my mate," Saphira said angrily and I was shocked.
Wow, she never usually cusses. I turned around to see the wolf Saphira recognized as our mate had won the race. His wolf truly was beautiful. His muzzle lifted into the air as he sniffed around.
Aw s**t.
I turned away from the arena quickly and shoved past the people in my way to get out. As soon as I made it outside, I shifted and ran into the woods.
He knows I was there. He probably knows who I am too.
I'm not ready for a mate, I'm just not. I ran as fast as I possibly could on all fours to a nearby creek I sometimes go to think. I made my way to the medium-sized creek and laid on the soft damp grass. I could hear Saphira mumbling within my subconscious.
"I'm sorry Saphira." She didn't answer but moved to the back of my mind in silence. She'll forgive me sooner or later.
I turned my head to the direction of the sound of leaves rustling. I was already up, in an attack stance ready to kill anything who dared mess with me. I sniffed the air and immediately regretted it.
Aw s**t.
His beautiful dark brown wolf walked from behind a tree and laid next to my feet as he glanced up at me. I felt a small pressure in my head. He's trying to create a mental link with me. Oh, God.
Saphira started getting antsy and took control for a moment to accept the link he wanted to make.
"What the Hell Saph-"
"Shut up. He's our mate." She replied rudely and went silent.
"Shift." I heard another voice say and I knew it was him, my mate. His voice was deep and seductive. I loved it.
What the hell is wrong with me? No, I don't."Why?" I asked back, hoping to annoy him.
"To see my mate. If your wolf is this beautiful, you must be just as amazing in your other form. Shift."
Saphira was howling with joy at his compliment. I sighed and got up to shift. Thankfully, we can shift back and forth without damaging or ripping our clothes. I shifted and stood up with my hands on my hips. His tail began to wag and I couldn't help but laugh. Now he is acting like a dog.
"What are you waiting for? You shift too."
He lifted his muzzle then down as a nod and shifted immediately. He stood up in front of me in his other form and shot me a dazzling smile. I wanted to f**k the hell out of him.
God, what is wrong with me?
I bit my lip and his eyes darkened slightly as my unconscious action.Shit."Well, I have things I need to attend too...so..Bye."I tried to turn away but he grabbed me a growled.
"Don't run from me, Kitten."
"I am not a kitten and let me the f**k go." I snarled out at him. His touch was making me feel weak in certain ways I prayed he wouldn't realize. He pulled me against him before he had me pinned against a tree in a blink of an eye. Dammit, f*****g Alpha speed. I had Alpha blood in my veins because the past family came from an Alpha bloodline but he was a full Alpha, which means he was stronger and faster than I was. His lips grazed again my neck leaving a trail of sensual fire. I bit down on my lip again to contain myself.
"I know you want me, Kitten." He whispered near my ear before he nibbled on it softly. His hand found it's way under my shirt, caressing my erect n*****s.
"Let m-me d-d-down." I stuttered.
"Are you sure that's what you want?" He asked me before tilting his head and taking my n****e between his soft pink lips, sucking on it. I breathed in and out heavily. My panties were practically soaked with desire just off his amazing scent alone, but his mouth...Oh God, his mouth sent me straight to Cloud 9, but I can't do this.
Remember Tori, you don't want a mate."Y-yes."
He released my n****e from his mouth and set me down. I wanted to compose myself but hell, at the moment I had no idea how. He smirked at me and put his finger under my chin, tilting my head up."Why are you denying me what's rightfully mine?"
"Because nothing here is yours," I replied lowly.
"Lie again. You are mine, whether you choose to embrace it or not, but I'll make you give in. When I take you and you're screaming my name, begging me to f**k you in ways you never knew possible, I want to hear you say you're not mine again."
Holy s**t.
His words just unleashed Niagara Falls In my pants. He must have sensed my arousal and smirked before turning to walk away.
"Oh and" He turned to face me with a smile."My name is Xander."
