TEN

Miles

“I can warm it up,” I offer as I carry the pizza box into the bedroom.

“Nah, I don’t mind cold pizza,” Mabel says with a happy smile.

My wolf is curled up inside me, finally satisfied after claiming our mate. Biting and claiming her was everything I dreamed it would be. She’s my other half, and I finally feel whole now that she’s mine. Complete. At peace.

“What time is it?” Mabel asks as she grabs a slice and takes a big bite.

I lick my lips as she sits up, and the sheet drops to her waist. Fuck, her curves are every man's dream. And she’s all ours.

“Miles?”

I blink. “Oh, it’s, um, just after eleven.”

She nods and takes another bite. I climb back into bed and grab a slice of pizza. We eat in comfortable silence for a few minutes, both of us starving after all our activity.

My cock hardens as I think about our first time together. I glance at Mabel to see her watching me, her pupils dilating as we stare at each other.

Maybe she can smell our arousal, my wolf suggests.

Her arousal fills the air, and I breathe deeply. I can almost taste her sweet juices on my tongue.

I toss my pizza crust back in the box and reach for her. She giggles as I roll her under me and kiss her. My cock brushes against her swollen folds, and we both groan. Her hips buck against mine, and I hiss as her juices coat my rigid length.

“Are you sore, mate?”

She shakes her head. “I need you,” she pleads.

I kiss her hard as I slam into her. I’m so on edge that this time is going to be hard and fast. I’ll make it up to her later. Luckily for me, Mabel doesn’t seem to mind the rough pace.

“You feel so good,” she cries as I hammer into her snug channel.

“Fuck, mate,” I groan.

Her pussy clamps around my cock, squeezing me so tightly, and my orgasm builds inside me.

Mabel’s tits bounce, the hardened peaks begging for my mouth. I lean down, wrapping my lips around one.

“Oh!” she shouts.

She’s so wet, so damn hot.

“I’m not going to last,” I tell her as I switch to her other breast.

“So close,” she pants.

Her hands cling to my shoulders, and her nails bite into my skin. I growl, loving that she’s leaving her mark on me. Her leg hooks around my waist, and we both moan as I sink even deeper inside her tight heat.

“Fuck,” I gasp, kissing her neck and licking over my bite mark.

“MILES!” she screams, and a second later, her juices flood my cock.

She comes all over me, and I grit her name as I follow her over the edge.

I come hard, my release spilling out between us. I suck in a deep breath as I roll to my side. She sighs happily, curling into my side, and I smile, kissing her forehead. We’re both breathing hard, and she draws circles across my chest as we catch our breath.

“Ugh, I need a shower,” Mabel murmurs.

I kiss her shoulder. “Want me to join you?”

“Uh-huh.” She smirks as she climbs out of bed.

I throw the covers off to follow her when my phone rings.

“Ignore it,” I tell Mabel.

She frowns. “What if it’s the hospital?”

I sigh and pick it up. “It’s Jensen.”

“Answer it,” she urges.

“Hello?” I answer the call. “Everything all right? Is Dillon okay?”

“She’s great,” he says.

I relax. “She’s fine,” I tell Mabel.

She smiles and heads to the bathroom. “I’ll get started.”

“What’s up?” I ask Jensen distractedly.

“Tucker just called.”

“For what? Did something else happen?”

“Yeah. The Red Fog Pack. They broke into some houses and started another fire up on the north side. Then there was another car accident. Same road as our mates,” Jensen says, his tone hard.

“Shit.”

“Yeah.”

“Is the driver okay?” I ask.

“No. Died on the scene. It was Jimmy Michaels.”

My heart sinks. Jimmy was twenty and just returned home after graduating from boot camp. He was supposed to head to his first duty station in a few days.

“He was so young,” I whisper.

“I know. Crew had to tell the family. They’re a mess.”

“Understandably.”

“The Alphas are setting up stuff for his funeral. I volunteered us to bring over some food next Tuesday.”

“Good.”

“There’s a pack meeting in the morning. We have to go.”

“Our mates?—”

“Dillon is still in the hospital. They’ll be safe here together.”

My wolf growls, and I swallow hard. I know he’s right, but I don’t want my mate out of my sight. Not so soon after mating and not with the Red Fog Pack out there.

“They killed someone this time,” Jensen says. “That changes things. We won’t be going easy on them anymore. No more harsh warnings.”

“I know. This means war.”

I hear the shower turn off.

“I need to go.”

“Take care of your mate. I’ll see you in the morning. We can leave from the hospital together.”

“Sounds good.”

I hang up and toss my phone aside.

“Shit,” I growl, and my wolf snarls inside me.

He was so calm before the call, so happy to have our mate. Now he’s back to pacing. He’s more on edge than ever. We have our mate now. We can’t lose her. She can’t be in danger.

I nod in agreement.

Do we tell her about all this?

My wolf shakes his head. No, don’t scare her. We’ll handle the Red Fog Pack. We’ll rip them apart. Nothing will hurt our mate .

The bathroom door opens, and I smile at Mabel as she moves to the bed. Her blonde hair is still damp and sticking to her bare shoulders.

“Sorry. Phone call took longer than expected.”

“That’s okay. You can join me next time.”

“Feel better?”

“Much.”

“You smell good,” I say, nuzzling her neck.

“I’m all clean now and wide awake. What should we do next?” she whispers seductively.

I grin. “I think I have an idea.”

She smirks at me, wraps her arms around my neck, and pulls my mouth to hers. I put the threat of the other pack out of my mind as I get lost in my mate again.
