Jessi's P.O.V. I stare at the man who just said mate, and I can't move. Who is this man who is obviously my mate? Am I seeing things? Was I kicked in the head too many times because he can't be real? When he smiles, my knees get weak. He's well over a foot taller than me and so muscular I want to run my fingers over every crevice of his hard body, but maybe first, I should speak. "Uh, wh…, wh…, ho.." Yeah, that's not what I meant when I said I should speak. What's wrong with me? Men don't make me tongue-tied. Did my tongue swell? That's the only explanation I have for not being able to form a complete sentence. He continues looking at me, and now I'm getting mad. He sees I'm struggling here. Can't he take the initiative and say something? Maybe I didn't say anything out loud, so he didn't hear me act like a fool just now. I get ready to sigh in relief when the male god begins talking. "It's nice to meet you, Jessi." The way he says my nam
Wyatt's P.O.V. I look down at Jessi as we walk toward my office. Is it possible to love someone at first sight? In just the few minutes I've known her, she's impressed, teased, made me laugh, and made me desire her.When she took off running at the training facility, I was initially frozen in disbelief. She was gone like the wind. Once I snapped out of it and saw where she was heading, I took a different route to cut her off. I felt like a pup again chasing her through the royal gardens, not caring who was watching. I hadn't had that much fun in a long time. It didn't hurt that she was hot as hell, either. Her little tight shorts and sports bra left nothing to the imagination. I saw how some of the men looked at her, and it made me want to rip their heads off; she's mine. I pull her inside when we reach my office, locking the door behind us. I want to kiss her, but I also want her to want to be kissed. How much experience does she have in that depar
Jessi's P.O.V. I look at myself in the mirror and frown. I never look right in dresses, and this one shows a lot of skin. I don't mind the skin when I'm in my training gear and basically one of the guys, but in a dress, I feel like it draws unwanted attention. I put my hair up in a twist leaving a few loose strands to frame my face. I take one last deep breath hoping Wyatt doesn't think I look too absurd. When I open the door, my breath catches in my throat. Wyatt is wearing a black suit and a black button-up shirt. Dressed that way, he looks mysterious and sexy. Hello James Bond. He turns toward me, and my face gets hot as his eyes run over my body. "I know I look ridiculous. Should I change?" I ask while taking a couple steps toward the closet. "Are you kidding? You look phenomenal. I would tell you to change because I don't want any other man looking at you. However, I kind of what everyone looking at you so they can be gree
Jessi's P.O.V. I walk over to the rogue, still bleeding out on the ground. The blade I used is specifically made to kill wolves and lycans. It has a protective film, so it won't harm me. However, once it enters the body of a wolf or lycan, the film dissolves, and silver releases into their system. I squat down next to him and pull my knife out of his head, careful not to touch the blade. He's not my first kill and won't be my last. "Good job, little wolf." I look up and see the recruits I'd tried out with, including the jerk who called me 'little wolf.' I don't like being called little wolf. Do I look like a pup? I stand up with my blade in my hand. "Thanks, but don't call me little wolf," I say, turning around to walk over to where Wyatt is standing with the king and queen. The man grabs my arm and stops me. "My name is Trevor. I know you said Wyatt is your mate, but I'm sure you haven't marked each other, so why don't you come
Jessi's P.O.V. I can see Wyatt trying everything he can to keep up the charade while I continue to stroke him. I lean forward and kiss his neck, where I plan on marking him. He moans when he feels my lips on him. "Are you ready to be marked?" I ask him while running my tongue along his collarbone. I feel him shiver, and it excites me. I love having this power over a man. It's exhilarating. "You can mark me first, and then I'll mark you," I pull back in surprise, looking into his eyes. Typically men demanded to mark their mate first like it was a power play. For him to say I can mark him first shows me that he really does consider us equals. "Are you sure?" I ask while looking for any hesitation. He smiles and leans down to kiss me until I'm breathless. "I'm positive. You're the one with all the control here. Mark me, Jessi, and make me yours." I feel like crying with happiness. As I get ready to sink my canines into hi
Jessi's P.O.V. It's the first official day of training, and I'm anxious. Not because of the training itself; I don't want Trevor to cause problems because of what happened last night. Men don't like to be embarrassed, and I could tell he was when he left. Wyatt is walking with me, holding my hand. I could tell he wanted me to wear more than just my shorts and sports bra, but that's what I'm comfortable in. He made the right decision and kept his opinion to himself. We arrive at the facility, and everyone greets me warmly, in contrast to how it was yesterday. Trevor is the only one glaring at us from across the room. Wyatt doesn't let me go as we walk to the front, where Gabe is preparing to start. "How's it going?" Wyatt asks him. "We're getting ready to pair the recruits up with the warriors. Are you joining us today?" Gabe asks. "Yes. I'll be Jessi's partner." I see Gabe's mouth twitch. "He thinks he can
Wyatt's P.O.V. After Jessi and I finish showering, I take her to my office to get her opinion on the rogues that keep threatening the palace. I have to admit showering will never be the same for me again. We lost our virginity in the shower last night. Thinking about how her mouth felt on me after training, it was so incredible that I have to force it out of my mind before I tell her to get on her knees again. I have actual work to do, although a whole day with nothing but a naked Jessi sounds a lot more tempting. No, no, no. I'm a man. I'm the lead warrior. I'm not a sex-craved teenager. I look at Jessi as she bends over my desk, looking at the papers I laid out for her. She's wearing short denim shorts and a white crop top that shows off her toned body. Does she own any clothing that won't turn me on? Is it wrong to want to pull those shorts down and take her from behind? "When did this start?" She asks. I'm confused for a minute when I get ready to t
Jessi's P.O.V.I look at Wyatt in disbelief. He just announced that he's making me his second in command, and I don't know how I feel about that. I've only been a warrior officially for a day. I'm sure everyone will think he's only doing it because I'm his mate. I try to hide my emotions, but I turn to him as soon as the others leave."You're making me your second in command? How can you do that? I have no experience. I'm sure that many of the other warriors are better qualified." I know I'm rambling, but I need to know why he decided this all of a sudden. Wyatt walks over and puts his hands on my shoulders, smiling at me."I've been the lead warrior for six months and haven't appointed anyone because no one felt right. I was waiting for someone I could trust to take my place if something happened and I was unable to lead. You have already proven yourself in many ways. You're intelligent, strong, passionate, and you're fair. I know you won't make impulsive decisions th
