"Who's your mate?" He snarled and I inwardly started panicking. What'd I do? Why is he mad?

"Clay I-" My voice was a little strained.

"Who's your mate?" He growled again but a smile broke out on his face and I sighed.

"You scared the shit out of me Clayton! Don't do that." I said loudly and he chuckled.

"Sorry baby girl." He said and started tickling me. I giggled and squirmed underneath him.

"C-Clay-layton! St-o-stop!" I gasped between laughs and he kept tickling me.

"Tell me who your mate is." He said casually. I shook my head.

"No! You-you kn-know w-who it is!" I said breathlessly and he shook his head and grinned.

"Nope it's slipped my mind. Now, who's your mate?" He said and I gave in.

"You! You are. You're m-my mate!" I said loudly and he stopped and sat back smirking at me.

"Damn right I am." He said getting up from the bed and leaving me catching my breath and holding my stomach. I watched him walk away.

"Where are you going?" I asked as he made it to a door on the far side of the room. He opened the door revealing a large bathroom.

"To the bathroom. Why? You wanna come?" He asked waggling his eyebrows and I scoffed and flipped him off. He smirked.

"Oh Katy you shouldn't invite me to fuck you. But if you want I'll happily oblige." He teased and my cheeks grew hot. He smiled which only made it worse.

"Beautiful." He commented before turning and entering the bathroom shutting the door behind him. I laid back on the bed with a huff.

After a while Clayton came back out with a towel wrapped around his waist. I gawked at his godly body and he smirked. With a wink he grabbed his clothes and entered the restroom and returned moments later fully dressed.

"I'll be back in a bit." He said and left the room. I sighed and went to his bathroom to shower as well.

I took my phone in and set it on the sink and started playing my music. I was bathing myself when 'Champion' by Mila J came on. I danced and sung in the shower.

The hot water was great on me and when I was done I exited the shower. That's when I realized there were no towels.

"Shit." I muttered as I looked around. Well there were my old clothes... Fuck it. I sighed as I remembered that my clothes from last night were still in the room. That's what I get for stripping and just going in the bathroom without a plan like a dumbass. I peeked out of the bathroom to an empty room. Okay the coast is clear.

I took a deep breath and creeped out of the bathroom. Just my luck the door opens to the room and I jump about a foot off of the ground startled. Clayton walks in looking at his phone and shuts the door the whole while I'm frozen to the spot like a statue.

Okay think... How the hell do I get out of this one? I was thinking as Clayton looked up from his device and caught sight of me. His eyes widened in shock then they darkened and he let out a throaty noise and visibly swallowed.

"Umm Clayton?" I asked softly as his eyes started roaming. He took in a sharp breath and snapped his eyes closed. He let out a deep breath and just stood there breathing for a few moments before he asked, "What do you need?"

"My clothes. In my room." I said and he nodded and-with his eyes still closed-left the room. He returned shortly with some sweats and a tank top and a bra and panties. His eyes were tightly shut and he handed them over. I quickly got dressed and Clayton stood there with his eyes closed.

"Thank you." I said softly kissing him and he slowly opened his eyes.

"For what?" He asked with a slight frown.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and he slowly snaked his around my waist. I met his eyes and sighed, "For being a gentleman." He smiled at my words and I felt my heart swell with love.

"I don't wanna do anything if you're not ready." Clayton whispered and I smiled and pulled him to me. My lips smashed against his and he groaned and picked me up. I started to wrap my legs around his waist and he chuckled and set me back down. Where is my self control?

"I love you." I breathed and Clayton hugged me to him.

"I love you too." He chuckled. He brushed the hair off my forehead and kissed my cheek. I felt heat creep up my neck and my ears burned as shocks ran through me.

"So what time are they coming?" He asked after a pause and it took me some thought to realize he was talking about my parents and friends.

"At twelve." I answered and he nodded.

"Okay we have about two hours." Clayton sighed and pulled me out of the room.

I giggled as he pulled me down the hallway.

We ended up lounging around the pack house until twelve.

"They're here." Clayton said suddenly sitting up from were he sat on the couch beside me.

The next chapter should be fun and a shocker *maybe*

It's mating time! *don't think dirty*

But in all seriousness it is...

Okay read*

"Katlyn!" My mom screamed and ran at me almost knocking me over with her hug. My dad followed slower but I could tell he was containing his happiness. He smiled at me and hugged me. Dalton and Michael strolled up and they joined in the hug.

After we pulled away from each other Clayton walked beside me and snuck his arm around my waist. He pulled me close to him and I smiled. My parents gave me an astonished look.

"Welcome to our pack territory." Clayton said to everyone with a smile. He gave my waist a squeeze and I almost moaned at the sparks. We were on the edge of the territory and had quite a walk back to the pack house. We were walking when suddenly Clayton paused and I saw his eyes glaze over. I knew he was talking through the mind link.

I looked toward the house and saw someone running towards us. They skidded to a halt in front of us and I realized it was Drew. He ran a hand through his light brown almost blonde hair.

"Alpha Clayton there's a sit-" Drew started but froze and looked behind us. Curious I followed his gaze and saw he was staring at Dalton-who was talking to Mike. I glanced back at Drew and saw his eyes flash a glowing color. He smiled softly.

"Mate." He sighed. Clayton paused maybe waiting for Drew to make a move but he didn't and Clay glanced at me before speaking.

"Better get on that Drew. Now what was the problem?" Drew snapped out of his daze and shook his head.
