Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 35 : Third round
I slowly breathe, trying to stay calm.I know that getting upset won't prove my point."Sebastian has been after me for almost a week now. He calls me every day," I confess to Levi.He raises an eyebrow and looks at me with a cold expression. The calmness in his countenance makes me nervous."And you didn't tell me about this because...?""Because I know you'd kill him if you found out," I confess, moving closer to him."Don't doubt that I will," he murmurs.Levi holds out his hand and I sigh. I reluctantly hand him my phone.He goes through the list of unanswered calls for the week, numbering over a hundred."I thought he would give up if he saw I wasn't interested. Evidently I was wrong, so I asked him to leave me alone."I sigh. I take a seat in front of him, and look at him. His expression hasn't changed.From how well I know him, I know he's very upset, though I can't figure out if it's with me."What you heard was our conversation, but not all of it. Sebas
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 36 : Fishing for the truth
In the middle of the night I wake up, but Levi is not in bed.I frown at his absence. It's late morning, but he's nowhere to be found. Not even in the bathroom.I find this very strange, since he doesn't usually get up before his exercise time. Curious, I put on my robe and get out of bed, yawning.As I leave the room I see the light in his study on. I head in that direction and get the door half open.Levi is sitting at his desk. In front of him are Elliot and Andrew.All three of them look at me as soon as I walk in. Their expressions are serious."What's going on?" I ask them.Andrew and Elliot look at each other's faces, not knowing what to say. Levi replies."We've received a warning from the Alpha of one of our allied packs. Apparently, Sebastian is spreading some rumors to isolate us from the rest of the packs.""What?" I say indignantly. Elliot nods."The lead came in a few hours ago. It seems that some Alphas and other pack members have believed Sebastian's
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 37 : Banished
Levi holds my hand tightly, knowing how nervous I am."What will happen if it goes wrong?" I say in a low tone.Levi kisses my knuckles."Don't think about it. It will be alright," he promises me.I nod, trusting his word. He seems sure of himself. As if nothing intimidates him.Well, nothing intimidates Levi, though. I know that much.We head together to the great hall where the ceremony is being held to decide his innocence based on the rumors about him. The great hall is a jury-style room, with a central stool and a raised crescent-shaped podium, where the most respected members of each pack are seated.In front of the podium, and behind the stool for the witnesses or the defendant to sit, is a row of wooden chairs for the trial attendees.As we enter, Levi and I part ways, knowing it will be for the best for now. On the stand is my father, as representative of our pack, and many good friends who are the Alphas of their own packs.The truth is that Levi has a lot o
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 38 : Unexpected news
Levi holds me tightly in his arms."It's over," he promises me.His lips meet mine tenderly. Levi has his hands resting on my cheeks. His thumbs caress my face."I hope so," I say, sniffling my nose."Finally!" Matt jumps up, coming toward us. "That bastard won't be bothering us anymore."My brother hugs me. I return the gesture and Elliot settles down next to Levi."Are you all right?" asks the Beta seriously. Levi nods."I am," Levi says.He holds me by the waist. The assembly has turned into chaos, but now it's all over.With Sebastian exiled from the wolves' domain, and Rose away from Alaska, things should be fine for a while.I hope this is the end of all the drama and all the problems.As soon as she can, Sophie comes and hugs me."I'm so proud of you," she says to me.My father also comes to us."I thank you for clearing the name of our packs," he says to Levi. And I see in his eyes that my husband has really earned his appreciation.Shortly afterwa
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 39 : The best wife
"That you are... Who?" I ask in a choked voice.My gaze seeks Levi's. Instead of feeling indignation, I find myself shocked.That's when her name echoes inside my head."You said your name was Summer Dynasty..."She nods."I am the daughter of an important Alpha in California," she states arrogantly.I couldn't care less about her father."You are Matthew's girlfriend," I declare.Summer clicks her tongue."About that... We broke up," she states matter-of-factly.I immediately get worried. Matt seemed to be madly in love with this girl.If she broke my brother's heart, I'll break her bones."Matt and I weren't right for each other," she says in an innocent voice, as if talking about a pair of shoes that just didn't fit."And what makes you think that you and Levi are ideal as a couple?" I ask.She ignores my question. Instead, Levi asks."Who sent you?"His tone is serious, distant and cold."Your grandmother, evidently," she says.Suddenly I feel li
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 40 : Spoiled girl
"Do you have a minute to talk?" I say to Matt, who is on the other end of the phone.He sighs."For you, sis, I always have time."I smile. His voice is tender with me, as always, but his tone is tinged with bitterness."I heard that you broke up with Summer," I whisper to him.My brother lets out a bitter laugh."How quickly rumors spread," he adds in exasperation."What happened?" I ask him."Honestly, I don't know," he says. "Yesterday she sounded like the sweetest girl in the world. She was really happy to come to see me. But as soon as she got to the airport, she acted like a different person."'She showed her true colors,' I think."She told me that she was not interested in seeing me and that it was over between us. I asked her for an explanation, but she wouldn't give me one. She told me to forget about her.""I'm sorry to hear that, Matt," I murmur."The worst thing is, I really thought we had a future together.""I know that. I could tell by the way
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 41 : Poisonous summer
Levi's POVWhen I see Summer coming up the stairs in search of her things I feel a deep relief, but it is momentary. I don't trust the facts as they are unfolding. It's all been too rushed to stop and think about each of the problems Amber and I have faced in the last few days, but I know it has to be the same person behind each of the seemingly random events.Whether it's Rose's rumors at the Moon Ball, Sebastian's attempts to destroy me, and now Summer claiming she has a right to be my wife. It all seems to point in the same direction.My lips draw into a grimace. Next to me, Amber sighs."I deserve a vacation from all this drama," she says in a tired voice. I smile and pull her to me."Tell me where you want to go and we'll leave instantly."Her eyes sparkle like those of a little girl."Maybe it's not about the place, but the company," she jokes."I feel like I deserve a break from all this too," says my mother as she stands up. "I'll go lie down for a while, if you
Marriage First, Mate Second Chapter 42 : A second proposal
Amber's POVLevi digs his hands into my clothes, tearing the garments to shreds as his tongue advances across my naked abdomen."Levi... Wa... Wait..." I ask between gasps.But it's impossible. Stopping him right now is like a child's attempt to catch the wind between his fingers. There's no way to stop it. It's a force of nature more than anything else.His mouth advances to my lingerie, pulling my pants off in a hurry and letting his tongue run over my sex. I moan in desperation and my legs tangle at the nape of his neck as he plunges inside me with his mouth. My hips rise and my hands lock between his hair as he lifts a hand to cup one of my breasts.My moans increase. Levi hurriedly pulls off his pants and then comes for me.He lays me on my side, spreading my legs with one of his hands and then penetrates me hard. I moan, feeling the pain that is soon accompanied by pleasure, and he bites down hard on my neck.One of his hands cups my breasts. The other begins to mas
