My Husband and My Mate

Chapter Five

*Chapter Five*

*Not Edited*

*Victoria P.O.V.*

I couldn't help but let out a gasp when I scented the strangers coming into my yard. I spun toward them, trying to look intimidating. Funny, I know. I paled when I saw them. They were scary buff and tall, and I could smell their wolves, I was so screwed. Maybe if they were human I could take them out, but a group of strong weres against little ole me, not gonna happen. I had to try, even if they killed me, I had to protect my baby. It seemed their leader walked towards me first, and I nearly fainted at the power emanating from him. Definitely the leader. I looked at him, starting at his big feet in those black combat boots. Up those impossibly long legs that looked like mighty tree trunks. I think those thighs are bigger than my waist! I could feel the blood rushing to my face as I passed over his groin area, really, Victoria. You are a married woman! I couldn't seem to stop though. My wolf was practically purring in my head as my eyes traced over the wide sculpted chest in his black shirt that looked painted on. Crap, was that drool coming off my lip? My eyes kept roaming up past his chiseled jaw with a dimple, damn dimples! I traced his full lips before moving on to his staightish nose, was it broken at some point? Before I knew it I was gazing into his eyes. His shaggy black hair covered them a bit, but I could see them, piercing blue eyes that hit me like an arrow to my chest. I coud see his eyes widen. Then he ran at me! I braced myself for the attack, but all he did was grab me and yell

"MINE!"

What the hell was going on?! My wolf was purring up a storm and whispering mate and just enjoying the feel of him against me. He buried his nose into the crook of my neck, just inhaling my scent. I'll admit that I forgot everything for a moment. I forgot I was married to the love of my life, I forgot I was in front of said husband's daughter. I just enjoyed the hardness pressed so close to me, and an almost innate sense of belonging. I heard Alyssa laugh and I broke from the trance this strange person, wolf, whatever put me in. I saw her point at a wolf near the other men and laugh again.

"Doggy!" she shrieked. I watched the strange wolf come towards her and growled a warning. He stopped and looked at the man holding me. Wait! He's still holding me! I quickly broke free, well to be honest, he let me go. I ran to my daughter and picked her up in my arms. She held on but couldn't take her eyes off the wolf. He whined up at me, then looked at his leader again.

"Don't worry. He will not hurt her. He likes her and wants a closer look at her." the strange scary stud said. Hmmm. Maybe I'll call him Triple S. I snorted a laugh, not quite sure if it was because of his new nickname or because he thought I was naive enough to let my baby "play" with strangers, much less a strange wolf.

"Not gonna happen. Why would I let my daughter go anywhere near a stranger. I don't know you and I sure as hell am not taking your word for it" I said sharply. I may be a wolf, but that doesn't mean "mama bear" is gone. she's stronger than ever.

A look of pain crossed his eyes, before I could make sense of it, it changed to fury. Then a wave of power hit me, before I knew it I was crouching at his feet. Submitting, yet still wrapped around Alyssa, protecting her. A roar left him, his eyes now an icy blue, was that gold swirling in there?

"I'm an alpha, your alpha, and you will not speak to me with such disrespect!" he growled. My wolf bowed in my head, then like the slut she was started panting, completely turned on by his display.

"What the hell is an alpha? I will speak to you however I want! You want respect? Show it to me first!" I yelled back at him. Wow, when did I find a backbone? During my rant I fought through his power and was back to standing, chin in the air. My words must have faltered him. He took a step back, confusion and maybe a bit of pride in his eyes.
