“Let them watch,” Carter murmurs, his gaze never leaving hers. Beneath the water, his hand shifts to rest on her waist, pulling her ever so slightly closer. “Carter,” she warns, yet it is not much more than a whisper. A part of her wants to pull away, to preserve the fragile neutrality of their relationship — but another part, the one connected to the mate bond, urges her to lean in. “You worry too much,” he tells her, tracing his thumb gently along the curve of her cheek. “They are used to this. You’ll see, once we start, they are going to leave this place.” Izzy swallows hard. She’s aware that she’s treading dangerous waters. Yet, being with Carter is exhilarating. His touch is a different type of fire. “I haven’t selected yet,” she says, struggling to keep her voice steady as he gazes at her face. “No problem at all. You just need to reject the mate bond with the others. That will solve all your problems with having three mates.” Suddenly, his lips go to her neck and despite h

Suddenly, Izzy pulls back from his hold. Her face is burning as she gazes at his confused face. ‘Damnit Aria... You should have stressed out the warning about how good he is with a woman’s body!’ Izzy thinks. His presence is intoxicating, his scent is making her dizzy and lightheaded. She looks around, like what he said, the employees are nowhere to be found. She wonders when did they start leaving? “Izzy?” Carter asks. “This ain’t right,” she whispers. But Carter doesn’t seem convinced and he takes a step towards her again. “What’s not right about it? You’re my mate and we both desire each other. It’s only natural,” he argues, his voice low and seductive. She purses her lips as she watches him approach, his eyes dark with desire. She tries to fight the pull towards him. But it feels like he is a predator, and she, the prey. “It’s not natural,” she counters, taking a step back. “Not for me.” She takes a deep breath, breathing deeply as the cool water calms her heated skin. She

“So, what should we do today?” Carter asks, moving closer to Izzy until they are only inches apart. “Work,” she answers. “How about we take a walk in the forest? I know this beautiful spot by the lake.” “Work,” she repeats as she gets up from bed and starts preparing. “It has a villa as well. It’s even more luxurious than Alpha Landon’s house.” She raises her eyebrows at him. “Stop inviting me to your house, Carter.” “Nothing to lose if I try,” he says, grinning. “So? Where to?” “I have work, Carter.” Carter sits on the couch as she prepares for the day. “Can I join you in the bath instead?” She rolls her eyes at him. “Or maybe you can leave me alone today? Maybe return by next week? Or better yet, reject the mate bond?” “Hmmm,” he mumbles. “You’re like a dried prune already. We have a mate bond, so you should feel desire for me. In fact, even without the mate bond, women feel desire for me.” “What the heck does dried prune mean? Is that your attempt to make a joke?” “No,”

Izzy quickly throws on a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt before joining Carter in the living room. He is leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he waits for her. As soon as she enters, his eyes immediately roam over her body, causing heat to spread through her. “Ready?” he asks, holding out his hand. She hesitates for a moment before taking it. She can’t deny that Carter is drawing her in, and her brain is nonstop sending her warning messages. They make their way to a small local restaurant that serves some of the best seafood in town. As they sit down at their table, Izzy can’t help but feel slightly nervous. Thankfully, though, the restaurant looks ordinary. It also helps that Carter start talking to her about the pack, some of his missions, and his family, who've never really been present in his life. Soon, Izzy finds herself being comfortable. There is a certain quality in his voice, the way his eyes light up, that somehow, begrudgingly, mesmerize

Izzy nods, feeling her cheeks redden even further as she realizes that she actually wants for them to take this a step further. She looks up at Carter, but suddenly, she gasps when he carries her in his strong arms instead. He walks to her bed as she wraps her arms around his neck.Once inside her room, Carter gently places Izzy on top of her bed. She can’t help but feel a flutter in her stomach as he hovers on top of her.“Are you sure about this, Izzy?” he asks softly, his gray eyes searching hers for any sign of hesitation.“Yes,” she answers, nodding. “I want this.”A soft smile spreads across Carter’s face as he leans down to capture her lips in a heated kiss. Their mouths move in sync as their bodies press closer together once again.But this time, it’s different. It’s not a kiss with hunger anymore; it’s filled with care and sweetness. And before Izzy realizes it, she has spread her legs, so that Carter is between her, ready to take her whenever they are ready.He groans and pr

Izzy takes a deep breath, steeling herself for what the alpha is about to say or react. Based on the knotting of his brows and the way his muscles tense, it is not good. “What? Why not?” he asks incredulously. Yet, she needs to say it. She can’t surrender her freedom just to become his Luna. She also never asked for the position. “I never dreamed of becoming a Luna.” “Do you have any idea that a lot of women have coveted the position? Now, I am throwing the opportunity at you. Don’t you think you are lucky?!” Izzy stands her ground, refusing to back down even in the face of the powerful alpha’s anger. She knows that she is risking everything by going against his wishes, but she cannot let go of her principles and values. “I am not included in the standards of those women, alpha,” she says firmly. “I am ordinary. I just want to live my life with no issues.” “Just live outside your—” he starts to say before Izzy cuts him off. “And I don’t want to do that.” “Huh?” he asks, his ey

Izzy finishes her work shift at Alpha Landon’s office and starts packing up her things. She can feel his intense gaze on her as she moves around the desk, but she tries to ignore him as much as possible. However, she finds out that it’s impossible to ignore someone like Alpha Landon. His presence fills the room and it makes her heart beat frantically against her chest. And when she turns to face him, she sees that his eyes are locked onto hers with a predatory intensity. When he moves towards her, she pales. She can feel the heat radiating off his body and she takes a step back, her palms sweating as she tries to ignore the butterflies in her stomach. Before she can make a run for it, there is a knock on the door. Alpha Landon pauses and turns his gaze towards the door. “Come in!” he growls. Two omegas enter, pushing a cart of food. It’s their dinner for the night. Izzy lets out a sigh of relief and takes another step back from Alpha Landon’s looming figure. Gratefully, she’s not
Owned by the Alpha and his Betas Chapter 25 - Alpha Landon's Pull
Izzy takes a deep breath and tries to calm herself down. She knows she should leave, but the pull towards Alpha Landon is too strong. He perfectly fits her fantasy of a man that she will want — muscular, fit and dominant. And now that she’s so close to him, she can’t help but notice every detail of his physique. She bites her lip nervously, trying to hide her feelings of mingled desire and fear. She feels like he can see right through her, and it makes her want to squirm in her seat. “Please, let me go,” she pleads, trying to sound firm. “I promise I will return tomorrow morning.” “I told you to stay,” Alpha Landon answers. Against her better judgment, she stays seated as he releases her wrist and leans back into his chair. “You don’t trust me,” he states flatly. “Even if I am both your alpha and your mate.” “It’s not that,” Izzy replies defensively. “It’s just... I barely know you.” “That’s exactly the reason why I am asking you to stay the night with me.” Instead of answering
