Victor POV I pulled up to the driveway at Tori’s Cape Cod and shut the engine. I walked around to her side and opened the door for her and took her hand to help her out. I followed her to the door and watched her pull out her keys and put them in the lock and opened the door. “Good night, Tori. I will see you….” I started to step off the porch when she caught my hand. “Victor…. Please come in.” She pulled my hand before letting go and entering the foyer. She turned and looked expectantly over her shoulder. “Tori, I don’t think…. “ She raised her eyebrows at me and put her hands on her hips. She was absolutely adorable looking, trying to be macho. “Please, come in…. “ She said more sternly and stepped aside for me to enter. I guess this is her way of telling me I have no choice. Technically, she does outrank me as an Alpha’s daughter. If she gave a command, I would have to obey. I don’t think she knows that
Tori POV Wow! I can’t believe I have a wolf! I knew I’ve had one since I was thirteen, but a wolf I will actually shift into! I’ve always been jealous over those in the pack that could shift into a wolf. I remember some of the warriors shifting into their majestic wolves so I could run with them on their back. I can only imagine the freedom one has running so fast and agile through the forest and feeling the wind rush through their fur. I’ve always wanted to be a part of that. Now I hopefully can. I just have to learn how to contact my wolf and get her to talk to me. I wonder if she likes me, even just a little bit. Oh my God, what if she hates me! What if I’m too ugly, or not smart enough! What if I’m not strong enough for her. Oh, I’m going to be such a disappointment to her, when all I’ve ever wanted was to have a wolf I could spoil and talk to and run free with. I wonder when it will happen. Do I have to do anything or say something to get her to shift? Who can I t

Victor POV I wasn’t comfortable leaving her alone. I’m not sure what it is. My mind is reeling, my heart is heavy, and my body has a sense of longing, as if I’m missing a piece of me. She’s only been here for a couple of days, but it feels like she’s been here all along. The entire pack, with an obvious exception of a few, thought she was very nice and were quite impressed with her healing of Taylor. I’m sure that would’ve been a lot different had they known she was the Alpha’s daughter, but Rick has his reasons for keeping it hidden and Tori seems to be fine with it. I return to the packhouse and head inside to my room. I get to the top of the stairs, and I immediately sense a presence, not dangerous, just annoying. I continue down the hall and the figure steps into the light.Corinne. “Why are you up here Corinne?” My voice was cold and exact. She steps out of the shadows and into the light. Mockingly coy, she ran her finger along her
Tori POV “Mate” I crashed my lips to his. I grabbed a fistful of his hair and pulled him closer. I could feel his arms around my waist pulling us together as close as he could. The idea of his eagerness exited me as my feelings for him were intensifying. His lips were firm and sensual and soft like cotton, his hands were as gentle as if I were a priceless artifact. I could hear his soft moans escape breathlessly as he explored every inch of my mouth as if he couldn’t get enough of my taste. It felt so right being here in his arms, his lips on mine like we belong to each other. I nipped at his bottom lip and then licked the sting away. My grip became stronger as I pulled his hair. My other hand dragging down his back with the urgency I needed to have him as mine. “Tori” He whispered as we separated to catch our breath. He leaned his forehead against mine and stared into my eyes. I watched his baby blues brim with tenderness and passion,
Tori POV “I’m sorry, Victor, but you cannot mark her.” I drop down on the couch and just let the tears fall. I sit there wondering what I have done to make the Gods that Be angry with me. Did I do something wrong? Have I wronged someone in a past life? “I just can’t. What have I done wrong?” I lied down on the couch and hide my face in a pillow as I cried my eyes out. A moment later, I felt warm hands lick m e up and set me on their lap as they wrapped their loving arms around me and squeeze me tight pushing my face into their chest. “It’s okay baby” Victor held me close and tight. “What are you saying Alpha?” I could hear his gruff voice rumble through his chest as he twisted slightly to face the Alpha. “I’m sorry Victor. I didn’t mean to upset either of you, but it would not be a good idea to mark each other before she goes to the Hidden Valley Pack.” I lift my head and look at my father.
Victor POV “You do not have to worry about Corinne.” I wrap my arms around her and hold her tight. A moment later, I feel her tense up and I know she caught me. I didn’t answer her first question. Because I don’t know. I should tell her something, that she has nothing to worry about but I honestly have no idea. I’m hoping after ten years there would be no problem. I want us to be open and honest with each other. No secrets, no lies, no games. I never had a girlfriend, and I only had the mothers of my friends to learn how a mate should be treated. My own mother passed when I was young, so I only had my father to teach me. Most of it is common sense on how to treat a lady. Being in love with one? Is a whole nother can of worms. But with Tori, I’d be glad to open that can and figure it out. She’s a bit sensitive since her last boyfriend used her and lied and cheated on her. He never told her that he had found his mate. Not knowing she was a wolf herself; he couldn’t break
Please read: This chapter was a mistake that wasn't meant to be published in this state. Please continue to the next chapter.I was afraid to ask it’s none of my business, but I had to know. I’m sure he’s had past relationships but I needed to know some of his past. I needed to know if there was a chance I could run into an old flame or if there was a bad breakup and I could become a target for some crazy jealous ex. I certainly am not one to be jealous over, but that doesn’t mean I want to face one. I waited patiently for him to respond. He started telling me about a high school crush and I felt a pang of jealousy. As he continued his story, that jealousy turned into rage and sorrow. I couldn’t believe this girl could be so heartless. How can people treat each other this way, it was disgusting! My heart was getting heavier and heavier as I listened quietly. I shook my head, knowing where this was going. When he told me he lost a good friend that day,
