Rose's POV

I stumbled out of the restroom, not even bothering to check if I wiped all of the blood off of my mouth.

I started to walk back to the bar before I saw Everett standing with his arms crossed in front of me.

I put up my hands and laughed. "You found me.

" I was so far drunk at this moment, I didn't even see the severity of this situation.

He shook his head but I didn't miss the relief in his eyes when he saw me. "Baby girl, you gave me a fucking heart attack," He said, before pulling me in for a hug. "I'm so sorry," He whispered in my ear.

My drunk brain just now processed that I was here because I left them. I pushed myself out of his arms and glared at him. "Don't act like you care, Everett. Out of all people, I thought you would have had my back," I said, wiping a tear that was quickly trying to escape.

His face held so much sadness and pain. "I'm sorry, baby. I don't even know why I cared what others would think. I want you, Rosie! I don't care about giving up my position, as long as I have you by my side."

I felt tears escaping as I looked up at my gorgeous mate. Out of all the guys, I'm the least mad at Everett. He makes me feel so safe and secure and makes me feel like I can trust him. And I do trust him. I might even feel more for him too.

By the time our conversation is over, I'm already almost sober again. Ahh, the fun of being a tribrid. All supernaturals have a really high metabolism and alcohol tends to not have a long-lasting effect on us.

I stood up on my tippy toes, bringing my lips to Everett's in a passionate kiss.

I didn't even care if anyone saw us kissing like two horny teenagers at the moment.

I just wanted to live in this moment with him and enjoy it.

Everett broke apart our kiss as he gazed down at me with hungry, lustful eyes.

"You better teleport us the hell out of here, right now.

" I smiled as I teleported us all the way to my bedroom back at my cabin.

Everett kissed me greedily as he held my face in his hands.

I pulled at his belt, taking it off as he pulled my jacket down my arms. He grabbed the neck of his t-shirt as he pulled it over his head.

He then bent down and unbuttoned my jeans, pulling them down my slim legs, leaving me in only a tube top and thong.

I reached for the button on his jeans before he stopped me.

"What? Am I doing something wrong?" I asked, feeling slightly embarrassed.

He shook his head immediately. "No, no, no. It's not that," He said quietly as he rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm a virgin." I gaped at him. Holy fucking shit. I knew he was shy when it came to anything sexual but how the hell do you look like that and still be a virgin?!

I then smiled brightly. "Okay."

He looked at me in confusion. "Okay?"

"Yeah," I said as I kissed across his chest. "That just means that I get to be your first." I kissed down his stomach. "And your last." I unbuttoned his jeans and pulled them off before returning to his boxers.

I looked up at Everett while I kneeled in front of him on the ground. "Is this okay, alpha?" I asked in a sultry voice.

His eyes turned dark as he nodded his head.

I pulled down his boxers, giving me a view of his hardening cock.

I nearly gagged just looking at the size of it.

And still, how the hell is he a virgin? I wrapped my hand around the base of his cock as I darted my tongue out, licking the pre-cum already forming on the tip.

I felt Everett relax under my touch as he let me pleasure him.

He gripped my hair in a fist as he pushed himself slowly down my throat.

He groaned as I looked up at him while continuing my pace.

"Fuck, baby girl. You have got to stop or this is going to be really embarrassing for me.

" He said, biting his lip. I sucked him one last time before letting go with a pop.

He ripped my tube top and thong in half and threw it across the room as his lips claimed mine. We stumbled back towards my bed, with him lying on top of me. I grabbed his dick, guiding it to my entrance. "Wait. Shouldn't we use a condom?" Everett asked quietly.

I shook my head. "No, I can't get pregnant," I said sort of vulnerably with a hint of sadness.

Everett scrunched his eyebrows up and looked at me with a little bit of sadness of his own. "It's okay. It would just take too much time away from me anyway." He joked, trying to make me feel better. I smiled as I leaned up kissing his lips in a slow, affectionate way.

I lined him up at my entrance as he pushed into me slowly, taking his time to get comfortable with my body.

He trailed kisses down my neck and to my breast as he pumped in and out of me slowly.

Low moans and groans bounced off the walls of the room as Everett picked up the pace.

"Fuck, you drive me absolutely crazy, Rose.

" Everett moaned, kissing my lips hungrily.

I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pounded into me, making me cry out.

I ran my nails down his back, my nails slightly lengthening.

Shit, my wolf was right on the surface, begging for me to mark him.

I moaned as he began rubbing my clit. I felt him kiss down my neck before sinking his teeth in, making me cry out in pure pleasure as I climaxed.

My wolf tore through the mental barrier with only one goal in mind.

My teeth lengthened before I sunk them into Everett's neck.

I felt him shudder as he came with a groan.

I licked and kissed the spot where I marked him.

He pulled back slightly to look at me but was still seated inside of me. His eyes were wide in awe and affection. "You're a-a werewolf?"

I nodded my head and gave him a nervous smile. "Yeah," I said quietly. He pulled himself out of me, making his cum leak out between my thighs.

"So that was the secret you were keeping from us? Why?" He asked laughing and looking at me differently as he rubbed my mark on his neck and shuddered.

I looked at him sadly. "Because I shouldn't exist, big man. I'm a tribrid. People either want to use me or see me dead. You're only putting yourself in danger by being with me." I told him truthfully.

He immediately went into protective mode. "I won't let anyone hurt you. Neither will Atticus or Axel."

I laughed bitterly. "Yeah? Well, where are they now then?"

Everett slightly grimaced. "Well, I may have not told them where you were yet. I thought I might be the one you'd talk to after what happened." He said while laying on his side, stroking my cheek.

"Wow. How noble of you." I laughed as I smacked his chest with my hand.

He smiled brightly at me, showing off his dimples. "Can I see your wolf then?"

I laughed shyly because I've always been insecure about how my wolf looked since I was so different. "Yeah, I guess so. As long as I get to see yours." I smiled at him. Holy fuck, I think I'm falling hard for him.

"You got it, baby girl," He said as he got up and pulled my legs to the edge of the bed and picked me up, making me squeal.

He brought me to the bathroom as he sat me on the counter and got a washcloth out, cleaning me up. I smiled at him. "You're so sweet to me."

He scrunched up his nose. "Don't girls usually call a guy sweet even though they actually mean boring?"

I laughed loudly and smacked his chest with my hand. "No! You're sweet because you think of the small things. You believe me when no one else does. I mean for fuck's sake, Everett, I broke your neck the first time I was with you, and you still for some reason didn't leave me."

He kissed my lips gently. "I've been waiting my whole life for my mate, Rose. And when I found you, I knew I wasn't going to let you go." I practically melted at his words. "Now let's go see that wolf of yours."

We walked outside fully nude because hey, I'm a fucking animal and we're out in the middle of nowhere.

I walked a little nervously as I stood in front of Everett.

I looked down at the ground as I took a deep breath and shifted.

I stood there in silence waiting for Everett to say something.

Nothing. I looked up to see Everett looking at me in awe, his mouth wide open as he took me in.

I made a whining noise to get his attention as I rubbed my snout against his hand.

He smiled so wide that I was surprised it didn't get stuck that way.

"You're absolutely beautiful, baby girl," He said, rubbing my head with his hand.

"I love you. And I'm saying it now because I don't want to hear your answer yet.

I just want you to know that I'm not going anywhere.

I'm in it for the long run," He said before shifting into his massive wolf.

I licked his face as he nuzzled my neck and made a low growling noise. We ran and played throughout the wooded forest as we let our wolves bond together. All the while, I couldn't help replaying Everett's words. He loves me...And I think I may love him too.
