MavenBennett sits across from me in my office as he flips through a folder that I gave him. I’m having to teach him all about the businesses that we run so that if I’m ever absent, he will be able to keep things running smoothly.The door bursts open and I see Bennett’s mate, Grace, looking frantic as her eyes flicker between us. Bennett stands up, alarmed by her sudden arrival, and he walks toward her pulling her in his arms as he asks, “What’s going on, darling?”She looks at me and says, “I’m so sorry to have disturbed you, Alpha. But Amelia isn’t back with Henry yet. She’s always back home by 6, but it’s 6:15 and I can’t get in contact with her. I’m scared something’s wrong.”Bennett says, “Grace, it’s only been 15 minutes. I’m sure it’s nothing.”Amelia has impeccable timing. Ever since that one time she has never been late unless someone was doing something to force her to be late. My wolf howls inside me, worried that something that has happened to our mate.I rush out of the
AmeliaI don’t know what made the rogues decide that it was time to release us, but I’m grateful with how fast it seemed to happen. Poor little Henry was so uncomfortable and upset because we had run out of things for him.We sit in the back of a van, and I hear someone snap at us, “Get that baby to shut up!”I roll my eyes, it’s not like I’m not trying! But I’m not his mother, I can’t just have milk for him twenty-four seven!They slam the breaks as they bring us to a stop, causing me to fall and hurt my shoulder from trying to prevent Henry from getting hurt. The back door opens, and I see Ross and he grumbles, “Come on.”I hurry to my feet and get out of the van. He brings me near our pack and tells me, “Just keep walking straight and you’ll be across pack lines.”I nod and scurry to move away from him, but he grabs my upper arm and says, “I’ll see you again soon, Amelia.”My face scrunches together in confusion and I face him as I ask, “Why? What do you want with me?”“I know you’
MavenRelief flooded inside me when I saw that Amelia was okay. There wasn’t a scratch on her and although she looked disheveled, she was still gorgeous. I needed her. I needed to hold her in my arms and know that she’s okay.I told her to follow me and listened to her footsteps as I lead her into my room. The moment she closed the door, I couldn’t resist kissing her.When our lips connect my wolf howls loudly inside my head, thrilled that I was finally doing this. She wraps her arms around my waist and my cock is rock hard from that action. She greedily returns my kiss, her hands tugging my hair, and it’s like she has been waiting for me to take this step.The tingles from the mate bond are overpowering and I want to mark her and take her right now, but my only hesitation is I don’t know if she can feel this. I don’t want to mark her without her approval. I can’t help but nip at her neck and she let
AmeliaMaven is my mate.How is that possible?I’m exhausted, all I want is to sleep, and I feel so comfortable with him. My body wants to rest, but my mind is unable to turn off as I’m still trying to process this.I’ve been at the Renegade Pack for months… I only recently started to feel the sparks with him and his scent is addicting. He’s got his arm wrapped around me and his head is nuzzled into my neck. All I can do is bask in his scent.He smells refreshing like peppermint. The scent relaxes me and makes me not feel so tense. What I don’t understand is… if I’ve been his mate this entire time, why didn’t he tell me?Maven mumbles into my neck, “Go to bed, Amelia.”I smile as I whisper, “Okay.”He lifts his head up and looks into my eyes as he says, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. It’s complicated and we can talk about it later. All that matters now is that I want you… okay?”I nod, “Okay.”He leans down and gives me the softest most loving kiss. After how aggressive he was earlier
Maven I can’t wait to surprise Amelia tonight. Maggie, Sophie, and Grace worked together to come up with the perfect first date and I can’t wait to pamper Amelia tonight. At 3:00 p.m. the girls came to my room and demanded that I leave so they can get Amelia ready. We wouldn’t be going out till 8 tonight, but I knew better than to argue with a bunch of women on a mission. Besides, this will give me an opportunity to do some of the work that I haven’t done yet because I didn’t want to do it around Amelia. The big thing is, I have a few packs I need to call and speak to. There’s something off with my pack and the way the Elders behave. My sorry excuse of a father taught me very little about how to run a pack and as a child he told me to never argue with the Elders and to always do what they told me to do. But my father isn’t around anymore, and I think the Elders are taking advantage of me because I haven’t known anything different. I grab my private cell phone and head to the hidd
AmeliaMaggie, Sophie, and Grace all giggle as they do different things to get me ready for the night. When they first came into my room, they demanded that I take a shower and take time to shave everywhere.I did as they said even though it took freaking forever, but apparently, I didn’t do good enough. Grace saw hair still on my legs and told me to get back in the shower.They’re acting like I’ll be having sex tonight, but even if Maven is my mate and I have the best night of my life, it isn’t ending in sex. I’m not ready yet. Not after what I’ve been through.I come back out and apparently, I finally did it right.Maggie and Grace both started recalling their first dates with their mates and Sophie seemed sad that she hasn’t met her mate yet. I know she will soon though and that guy will be one of the luckiest guys on the planet.After hours of them painting my nails, doing and redoing my makeup, and figuring out the perfect way to do my hair, Maggie walks out of the room. When she
AmeliaMaven takes me to a ballroom dance class. We learned these elaborate dance moves that I never could’ve imagined doing, but I guess sometimes all you need is the right dance partner. The instructor praises us for our chemistry and even recorded us so we could see how well we were doing.We looked like something brought out of a movie. With the fancy dress and how it fans out with almost every twirl or movement and how handsome Maven is, we looked breathtaking. Maven could be a movie star if he wanted to be, he had the looks for it and obviously had the dance moves that I could see him in a historical show.By the time we finally get back home we’re exhausted, but we’ve had so much fun together. I can’t bear the thought of being away from him, so when he asked me to stay with him, of course, my answer was yes.We kissed here and there, but most of our night was spent talking or cuddling. Suddenly, every bad thing I’ve ever gone through seems worth it. I’m just happy that I get to
Amelia It was weird seeing my dad. He hasn’t messaged me or anything again since then. I wonder if he thinks that I lied to him about Henry. Henry isn’t my child, but I’m sure seeing me with him, and Maven would’ve made it look like we’re a happy little family. Maven hasn’t brought up the meeting again and I didn’t say anything. If he had any questions, then I trust that he would talk to me about it. I sit on his bed as I wait for him to come join. Dinner ended an hour ago and he decided to go for a run before bed. Although my wolf has been more present in my mind, she still hasn’t wanted to come out much.A part of me is grateful for it, it’s painful shifting and I really don’t want to shift if I don’t have to. I twiddle with my thumbs, unsure of what I should do while I wait. I decide to take a shower, based off that one time that I showered in here, his shower seemed nicer than any of the others. I turn on the water and quickly undress, once I see the steam, I jump in. I gasp fr
