Hearing and feeling his chest vibrate with a purr I felt his large muscular arms as they wrapped themselves around me gently, as if he was worried that any sudden movements would cause me to run. I wanted to laugh at the thought of it, I may know he was too good for me but the last thing I planned to do was to leave my mate when I was in an anger filled state.

“Tell me” I said in a softer tone as I pressed my lips harder against his chest, letting my tongue caress his skin as I buried back a moan at the taste of him. I would never get enough of him I realised; I would always crave his presence, his company, his taste. No, he was mine and it was going to stay that way whether he liked it or not!

“You’re going to hate me” I heard him mutter, my fingers playing with the back of his hair as I made a mental note to tell him to get a haircut.

“I can never hate you Hunter, you mean to much to me for me to ever hate you” I replied, trying to portray how sincere I was in my tone. It seemed to have worked, feeling his grip on me loosen slightly but he kept his arms around me, where they belonged.

“When I-“ he started, his words catching in his throat. Never had I seen him so nervous, so weak and it was fair to say I hated it. He was an alpha, he was my protector and my mate, he wasn’t meant to be fearful!

“I’m not going anywhere, Hunter” I breathed, knowing that it was what he wanted, no needed to hear. And it was true, he was never going to get rid of me that was for sure.

“When I first met you, what I did baby was just…I flipped out when realised what I had done, so when I found out that my pack mate knew you I lost control to my wolf” he managed to strain out, my soothing touches hopefully having a calming effect on him. I hadn’t realised how much his bullying of me still played no his mind, didn’t he know that I had forgiven him long ago for that. It wasn’t like he had been enjoying it back then, it had hurt me deeply yes but he was her mate which didn’t make it exactly hard for her to forgive him. He was mine as I was his.

“My brother” I stated as soon as I realised, fighting to keep my posture relaxed and not to tense up like I wanted to. Bullying me was one thing, but harming my brother was going to be a hell of a lot harder to forgive and forget.

“I didn’t harm him baby, just alpha ordered him” he spoke quickly, obviously sensing my whirling thoughts. I couldn’t deny the fact I was relieved, knowing that in that sort of situation when an Alpha feared the whereabouts of their mate then fighting for control was pointless. So no, I didn’t blame him but I was more than a little relieved.

“I forgive you Hunter” I breathed, feeling his breathe on the top of my head as he pulled me closer, whispering how sorry he was. I tried to ignore the fact that we were both half naked, trying to tamper down on my suddenly lustful thoughts since my mate was howling for me to let his wolf claim her, to let Hunter claim me.

“He told me about you, about how you became a rogue” he confessed, strangely though I found I didn’t mind as much as I thought about him knowing the details of my past. Didn’t it bother him? Didn’t he care that his mate had been a rogue for so many years?

“What do you know?” I asked gently, my fingers tugging at the hair on the nape of his neck causing a growl like purr to rumble from his chest. Yummy.

“About those people” he stated, spitting out the word ‘people’ as if it was the most vile word in the world. It didn’t take a genius to know that he was referring to my horrible parents, the fact he had taken to heart that I didn’t want to refer them people as my flesh and blood warmed me more than it should have.

I couldn’t help but close my eyes as I thought back to when I was so young, when I was literally thrown out of the house. I remembered how scared I was, how I had repeatedly knocked on the door to be let back in onto to receive a beating which had me running for my life. How I had only survived due to being the daughter of an alpha, the extra power coming in handy when I had to fight for my life when I came across rogues who were vicious, who pounced with the intent to kill.

As the thoughts ran through my head I couldn’t help but feel my eyes turn glossy, feeling my grip on my mate tighten desperately as I finally came to terms with the fact that I was no longer alone. I had a pack I cared for, I had friends, I had Hunter.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” he asked worriedly, the concern dripping from his tone only making me more relieved that I had found someone to grow old with, to share my life with. I may not have wanted a mate when I had to fend for myself, but now I had him I realised how lucky I was, how much I actually needed another to lean on.

With that thought I tilted my head up to press my lips against his, capturing his mouth with mine as I melted against him. He deserved so much better than me I thought, grabbing hold of his hair roughly as I increased the passion causing me to moan and him to growl viciously as I soon found myself pinned against a tree, my legs around his waist as he was making savage growls that had my toes curling and my heart beat increasing to an alarming rate.

“Uh” I moaned against him as I felt him grind the tent of his jeans against my core, feeling pleasure which I hadn’t been aware was possible as he tore his delicious mouth from my own causing a whimper of disapproval to fill the air from me. That was until I felt his lips working my neck that was, his grip on the back of my thighs tightening as he pressed his chest against mine with a sense of urgency that had me reeling. I had really hit the jackpot I thought, my mate was a god.

“You taste so good” I heard him grunt against my neck as his movements never slowed; only increasing my arousal as I moaned along with him. I could tell he was just as wound up as I was, if not more so but I also knew we had to tone it down. I found I had nothing against him claiming me, but I would at least like our first time to be in a bed instead of up against a tree – we could try that another time.  

“Hunter” I moaned out, trying to keep my tone strong but failing miserably. It was when I felt his large, strong hands hesitantly run up my sides I knew that I hadn’t completely lost him to his wolf. His alpha wolf wouldn’t have hesitated like he was doing, my heart warming even more so when I thought back to all the times where he had had to struggle not to mount me like I knew both he and his wolf wanted to. The thought made me grin, he was perfect and I was so ready to give myself to him. Just not up against a tree.

I tried again but failed as his name came out as a high pitched keen when I felt his hands brush the sides of my breasts almost innocently, even though I knew whatever was going through that head of his was far from being innocent. He was a bloke after all, not to mention a sexually frustrated alpha.

“God you feel so good my mate, mine!” I heard him growl out against my neck, my sensitive hearing suddenly picking up on another howl from the pack house. I could literally feel how much of an annoyance it was to Hunter as he froze against me at the sound, but I also knew they was the perfect opportunity to stop this so we could carry it on later. Well, that was what I had planned anyway.  

“Come on honest, they need us to go back” I soothed, sighing out in both relief and disappointment as he pulled away from me. The feral expression on his face had me panting, his eyes black as the night and he was breathing as deeply as I was. God he looked beautiful, deadly even and I loved it.

“We’ll finish this later?” he asked hopefully, his voice deep and husky making me shiver in delight. I nodded, watching a he seemed to shake his head to try and snap himself out of it before his eyes turned back to normal. I couldn’t help but smile, so perfect, so incredibly perfect to me.

“Fine, come on” he grunted as he scooped my up into his arms causing me to squeal out in surprise, quickly wrapping my arms around his neck much to his enjoyment as he took off into the woods with me in his arms. Honestly, I had never felt happier.

(So what do you think, good? Let me now if the sexual feelings between the two get too much since I’ll tone it down. Don’t forget to vote and comment!)
