I walked inside the hotel only to be stopped by a beaming Marie."How's your day been sweetheart?" Marie asked with a friendly smile."It's been okay. I don't want to sound rude, but I'm in a hurry. Sorry," I told her as I started walking up the stairs.Marie winked at me and grinned, which caused me to give her a weird look."I understand. Jace keeping you busy? That boy is such a cutie, don't you think?" We were almost at my room and Marie was still following along.To me, it was obvious there was nothing between Jace and me, but she probably read too much into things yesterday when Jace dropped me off."Yup, that's it. Now I really need to go. I'll see you later Marie."I quickly opened my door and closed it without waiting for her reply. It wasn't my intention to be rude but my things needed to get packed quickly so that Dylan didn't notice my absence.Most of the clothes were still in my back pack. Too bad everything Jace had bought for me today would have to stay here, seeing as
I figured it was the perfect time to keep my vulnerable act on.I slowly walked to the door and unlocked it. As soon as the click was heard, Dylan made his way into the room."We are going to talk about this," Dylan stated, before taking in my appearance."Baby, what's wrong?" He asked, as he embraced me."You are so demanding Dylan, you know that?"Dylan loosened his hold on me and grinned."I am, aren't I?""It wasn't a compliment!" I snapped."Why don't you want to meet the pack?" Dylan questioned, moving us to sit on the bed."I already told you why. I just met you today. Don't you think it's a little too soon to be introduced to them?" I said, trying my best to make it sound logical."You're right, but it still has to be soon. They have to know that you are my mate and everyone has to respect you," Dylan caressed my cheek and was looking at me lovingly.We spent the rest of the afternoon in his house. Dylan had Jace bring my things to the house. I noticed tension between the two
After the heavy make out session we had, and how crazy my hormones and emotions felt, I was sure it was all because of the mark."I waited too long. We should've mated the day I found you. The mark should've been made the minute I laid eyes on you," Dylan replied, not sounding in the least sorry.His words weren't rough- more like he was stating a fact. Nonetheless, the dam in my eyes broke loose and I was in tears again. I wasn't sobbing, but the tears rolled down my cheek and I felt depressed."Why are you crying?" Dylan asked me tenderly, trying to embrace me."I don't know," I said, letting him hold me. It was stupid of me to cry, but I couldn't control it. I felt like a pregnant woman with my emotions and hormones all over the place.We stayed in bed for about an hour. The tears were long gone, but Dylan and I remained together. It was obvious he was worried about my unexplainable waterworks."What do you want for breakfast?" Dylan asked me as he rummaged through his fridge."Do
I turned around and started running up the stairs to our room.I felt him walking behind me, his heavy footsteps making me aware of how close he was. As soon as I got to our room, I shut the door and locked it.My emotions once again got the best of me and I started crying tears of anger. This time my wolf was on my side. She felt hurt by the way her mate treated her, even when we hadn't done anything.My chest hurt, which made it harder to control the tears rolling down my cheeks. Dylan was banging outside the door, telling me to open it.I sat down on the edge of the bed and allowed myself to weep. I hated how out of control my emotions were.Since Dylan marked me last night, I spent all my time crying, craving his company, or making out with him.Dylan was threating to break down the door if I didn't open it. I was preoccupied with feeling depressed, that I paid no attention to him.With one hard push, Dylan managed to break the lock and come into the room. He was about to yell at
"Can we go for a run?" I asked Dylan while we sat in the living room watching a movie."You want to go out?" Dylan looked surprised as he asked that."I haven't been for a run and my wolf wants to be let out," I told him, shrugging."Let's go right now," he said, getting up and pulling me with him."Okay," I replied, as we made our way to the front door."If you don't want us to run into the pack, I know a route where they are not allowed to be in," he explained."Actually, I have another space in mind," I told him, a smile playing on my lips."You do?" Dylan asked me, frowning."The second day I got here, Jace took me for a run in the space between this pack and the neighboring one," I told Dylan, with a grin on my face.Just thinking about running there had me really excited. I wanted to let my wolf out, but more than anything, I wanted to swim in the beautiful lake."Why were you and Jace there?" Dylan asked.He had been heading toward the forest, but now had completely stopped to
Dylan ended up driving us to the same mall where we had met when I had been with Jace.I smiled automatically, thinking that the day we met, was the first time I tried to escape- in this same place."What are you going to buy?" Dylan asked me. We were walking around inside the mall.To my surprise, it wasn't as crowded as it had been the day Jace had brought me there. I thought it was a disadvantage to me, but I didn't let it get me down. More people meant it would be easier to get away from Dylan, not that it was going to be easy in any way."I was thinking I could buy a casual dress or something like that," I answered, walking into a store. Dylan nodded his head and didn't add anything else.As I looked around at the clothes, pretending to be interested in them, Dylan would simply stand beside me. He would look around, look at me for a while, or stare at the clothes with a bored expression.The way he stood, made it seem like he was my body guard. I grinned when I thought that was
I wanted to shift back to my human form, but it didn't feel safe. I took a deep breath and it was then when I noticed what was wrong.I was in another pack's territory.I looked around, trying to think when it was that I crossed the line and trespassed. The law of trespassers, especially for rogues, was death. Being distracted and wrapped up in my thought's had made me lose concentration without even noticing.I slowly retracted my steps. Unless the pack was doing rounds right now, there shouldn't be anyone so out in their territory. I knew I was in the outskirts of their land, but I was still about a mile in.My father many times tried to teach me about all the packs in the US and each time, I thought there were better things to do. Now, I knew why that was the wrong way to go.For sure, I knew there were only twelve packs in the US, all located in the areas with the biggest greenery. To know which one I was trespassing and what they could do to me- that was still a mystery.I was
We reached his house, which was what I had been expecting. It was massive, and looked elegant- despite it being in the middle of the woods.He was still dragging me along by the shoulder. Once we reached inside, he walked us to a room I assumed was his office."Sit," he ordered, going behind the desk and grabbing a shirt.He grabbed his phone and started pacing around the room."Russell, I need you here in five minutes," he said into the phone."No, everything's alright, just come," he told whoever he was talking to.We waited in silence until the guy, who was probably Russell, got there."Is she... your, mate?" the guy asked the Alpha as soon as he entered the office.The Alpha shook his head but didn't say anything else."I need you to watch her while I go up and shower," the Alpha told the guy."Sure," the guy replied, walking into the room."If she tries to leave, just restrain her," The Alpha warned him, but looked at me as he said that."Who is she?" he asked with a curious look
