I smiled against her hair, repressing a laugh. “Did you just call my cock divine?”

She growled, lightly punching my chest. “No.”

“Yes you did,” I argued.

She pushed herself up to glare at me. “I was talking about the act. Not your literal tool you use to get the job done, you dunce.”

“That’s too bad,” I whispered, thrusting upward to drive a moan from her. “I think your pussy is divine, my Lira.”

She whimpered, her tunnel tightening around my flaccidtool.

I’m about to put it to use again, since it is already growing hard with the little bit of movement while still inside of her, but then a frantic knock echoed into the room from the door, jolting both of us in surprise.

“Who is that?” Lira rolled off my chest, covering herself with the sheet.

A low growl vibrated my chest, my lips curling in agitation. “I don’t know, but there better be a damned good reason for them being here.”

Twenty-Eight

Jack

I’m pacing in front of the damned armory, a trail forming in the dirt from the hours I have spent here, walking up and down the same few feet of shadowed walkway, waiting to hear some news about the party that left early yesterday morning to check the borders of this pack. The party that had left withmycrew mate. The maddening woman did not even bother to ask me if I was bothered by her leaving with the group of men or not.

Mostly, if not entirely, unmated men. All of whom I'm sure would jump at the chance to keep her warm at night.

Lucky was the one who found me at the bar to tell me, and I almost wrung his neck at the time. I want to wring someone out now for allowing such disrespect.

Who does she think she is, just abandoning me like this? With several unmated men at that.

“You were the asshole who drove her away,”Oisin grumbles, annoyed with me more than anyone else.

“By doing what the woman told me to do! How was I to know she would act this way?”

“She’s a woman. A woman who professed feelings for you.”

“She professed feelings for my body,”I tried to argue.

“You know that is now true. The woman may be sexy as sin, and as lithe as a panther, but you know as well as I that she didn’t offer what she put on display freely to anyone the way she did with you. You ran from a good thing straight to someone who was never going to accept you. You knew the hybrid princess would never accept you too. She never even noticed you, but that beauty that trapped you in your bed did. You should have trapped her right back the moment you woke up with her.”

Oisin was fuming as he ranted. I sould almost feel the steam inside my head.

My teeth ground together with fury.“You wanted Ela as much as I thought I did.”

“Of course I did. That was until I saw what a lost cause trying to claim her would be. You have eyes. You see what she is like with her mate. Her Alpha mate. An Alpha mate with the largest free pack in the land; a pack that is thriving, despite its constant wars. Even if he was a lesser man and Lycan, she has never looked at you with a fraction of the emotion she looked at with him. My attraction to her was different from what I felt when you awoke next to Beretta. You even felt different after that. Don’t lie to me and tell me otherwise,”Oisin said, almost sounding desperate in his rant to convince me.

I need no convincing. I know it was different. Ela is a beauty. Exceptionally so. That is for sure. I have encountered many beauties in my days, so I know that was not what first drew me to her.

It was the power I felt and smelled seeping out of her very being. She was a prize. I’m ashamed now to admit it, and it flares my thirst from the guilt, but I saw Ela as something to be attained. She was the grand prize in a game I thought I was playing, trying to win her affection.

With Beretta, it felt different. I felt in her touch how different the attraction I was denying was.

Now, the blasted woman is gone to who knows where, doing who knows what with who knows who.

I kicked the dirt under my feet, my body itching with the need for a drink, but Beretta threw my flask and I wasn’t able to fetch it. I refuse to leave this spot without hearing word from the pack’s men that Beretta is safe and on her way back. I'll wait here all blasted night if I have to. I'll wait here for days. However long it takes.

Two warriors just then passed by, snickering to themselves, not noticing me in the shadow of the building.

“Praise be to our Luna,” one chuckled. “Training getting canceled because she finally allowed our Alpha to mate her is making this to be the start of a good day.”
