Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 15 : Owner of everything
"I don't really know what to believe," I confess to Sophie. "Things with Levi are terribly confusing."For once, it feels good to be really honest with someone. Sophie and I find ourselves sitting on the terrace of our favorite restaurant, having lunch. In the privacy of our table I have been able to confess to my best friend, who is the only person who really understands and knows me, and I have told her everything that has happened with Levi and Sebastian since the wedding day.Oddly enough, Sophie hasn't judged me, and has let me speak my mind, which is perhaps one of the things I appreciate most about her, as she can really understand me without criticizing me for the good or bad decisions I'm making."It seems to me that you need some time away from everything to clear your head," she says after hearing my story.I sigh."I need it, don't I?" I say, finishing my iced tea. Sophie nods."I understand that maybe the connection you feel with Levi is very strong, but right
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 16 : In front of you
"I think he really loves you," says Sophie, after finishing her third martini.We meet in the V.I.P. area of the club. Now that I know Levi's tastes better, I'm starting to notice his touch in the design of the place."I don't know," I say, sighing and ordering another round of drinks for both of us. "It's all terribly confusing at this point.""Maybe you should talk to him," Sophie encourages me. "Say what's on your mind.""I have," I reply with a grimace. "I told him how much it bothered me that he had been flirting with Rose the other night.""He says he hasn't," Sophie cuts me off."Yeah, but what man would confess to flirting with his wife's friend?" I ask suspiciously."Look." Sophie takes my hand –"All I'm saying is that maybe you should listen to him. In the past Rose has already been a little... Okay. She gets a little too flirtatious sometimes. We both know that. Maybe it was just a misunderstood situation.""Do you believe that?" I ask my friend. She nods.
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 17 : The word of an Alpha
Evening has begun to fall when my phone rings."Hello?" I answer without even looking at the screen."Daughter, we need to talk to you," my father says bluntly on the other end of the line.I look at Sophie with a frown. I'm with her, at work. I have a clothing and makeup line, and Sophie is my assistant, so we usually spend a lot of time together."Dad, is everything okay?" I ask."Yes, but we have an urgent matter we need to discuss with you. Please come home as soon as possible."He hangs up without waiting for me to ask anything else. I immediately stand up."I will be back soon," I affirm. "Can you take care of everything for a while?""Sure," says Sophie after another look at our agenda.Levi's mother, June, is coming then. She brings with her a plate with snacks and a bottle of red wine."You're an angel," Sophie murmurs after pouring herself a glass.June sees me as she takes the purse and coat."Is everything all right?" she asks me sweetly."My fathe
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 18 : Whatever it takes
**Levi's POV"Hello, you've reached Amber Collins-Grant. I'm currently unavailable, but leave me your message and I'll get back to you soon" her voice says, after which the voicemail rings."Shit, shit, shit, shit..." I whisper.The car doesn't accelerate fast enough for my liking, but it allows me to arrive at the Collins mansion shortly after I cut off the call.The Collins' guards guard the entrance. As I approach, they stop the vehicle."What do you want?" says one of them."I'm Levi Grant. I'm looking for Amber. My wife."The man raises an eyebrow. His expression turns stern."I'm sorry, Mr. Grant. You are not allowed access."I cluck my tongue."Bullshit," I answer.The bars are thick. Evidently the car would be destroyed if I crashed it through them.Luckily, it's not the only way to sneak onto the property.I park the car a short distance away. The guards see me, but are unable to stop me. By the time they understand what I plan to do it's too late.
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 19 : Try me
Amber's POV"Levi, wait!" I ask him.He doesn't stop. He lets me fall on the bed. His lips move down from my chest to my abdomen. He undresses me as he goes."Stop!" I whisper. "We can't do this."He deliberately ignores me. His mouth comes down and bites me in the ribs. I let out a moan, feeling his tongue tracing circles on my skin.I can't think at this moment. Nothing seems to matter as he moves forward. I try to form sentences and get clear on what I plan to say to him. But try as I might, I can't.Levi unzips my skirt. He pulls it off me in one fluid motion and then takes off his shirt. His mouth gets my sex over my underwear before I can protest."Levi..." I implore between moans, my fists clenched against the bedspread.He pulls off my underwear, ignoring all my requests. His hands close around my hips, pushing me against his tongue, which reaches out to encircle my sex. As soon as he does, my moans rise. Part of me can't help but be grateful that my room is so
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 20 : Some sense of pride
"I'm doing this for the welfare of the packs," Levi states after writing a check to my father for an outrageous sum of money. It's so laughable that I almost think it's too much to be true. Evidently my father has decided to cash in on this whole divorce avoidance thing.Dad sees the check as soon as Levi hands it to him. His eyes widen like saucers. Levi hasn't even negotiated with him, but has simply doubled the first derisory figure my father has offered him. And he did it without even stopping to think about it."By accepting the money you guarantee that our packs are at peace and that I can stay married to Amber for as long as she wants me," Levi says to my father in a calm voice. "Well... I must admit, it's a hard offer to refuse," Dad comments, staring at the check. "No. I can't let you do this," I then say, stepping in. I take the check from my father's hands and hand it back to Levi."This whole thing is absurd. You don't have to buy my father's blessing," I aff
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 21 : By your side
Levi's POV"Alpha Levi," says Elliot, entering my studio. "This came for you."He holds out a sealed envelope. I open it at once, trying to decipher the scent wafting from the envelope. I know this scent, I think, but right now I can't remember from where.Elliot sits across from me as I open the envelope. He looks up from his cell phone for a moment and notices my serious and curious expression."Everything okay?" he asks with a raised eyebrow.I nod.Inside the envelope are a series of photographs. They are pictures of letters with dates ranging from the present day and up to almost two months ago. About the time Amber and I were married.In fact, the letters appear to be from her. At least, this appears to be her handwriting. In all the notes, some long and some shorter, Amber explains in detail to Sebastian how much she misses him.The messages are clear. Amber complains about our marriage. She explains how she gave in to her lust purely out of spite, but now feels
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 22 : Not for me
Sophie's POV"Do we have everything?" Amber asks for the fifth time.I remind myself to breathe before answering. For this I do my meditation routines, I tell myself."Amber, you can be sure we have everything ready," I answer calmly."The suitcase is too small," she says then."We are going to California," I remind her. "Your suitcase is small because right now all you have is winter clothes. But I have made appointments with the best brands. In a few hours you will have a new closet."She sighs and begins to massage her temples. She is obviously anxious."Remind me why I'm doing this," she says. I place my hands on her shoulders."Because your husband asked you to accompany him to this big Alpha event and you're willing to go and shine like the best of the Lunas.""I'm not his Luna," Amber says biting her lower lip."That doesn't matter," I answer sure of my words. "For all intents and purposes, you are. The pack needs you. And you will do anything to maintain the
