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,
Tori POV “Stay the night with me?” I looked into his eyes and saw nothing but love and…. Sadness? “Victor?” He got to his knees and then stood before me. Reaching down, he grabbed my hands and lifted me up. Carrying me to the bed, he sat down as I straddled him. Wrapping his arms around me, leaning down to kiss my neck and take in my scent. “Tori” He whispered as he peppered kisses to my neck and up my jaw. Slowly making his way across my cheek and kissed the tip of my nose. Leaning back, he smiled at me. “Tori, I would love nothing more than to stay with you, nothing more than to wrap my arms around you, hold you tight, make sweet love to you all night, but I want to do this right. I know your father is happy about us, but I need to formally ask his permission, and Apache’s. I want you to be treated like the queen you are. Not just a moment of lust, but a moment of true love. I want to show you the love I have for you.”
Ronin POV I step into my closet to get dressed as I hear my uncle in my head. “Ronin, come to my office” I rolled my eyes and continued pulling up my jeans. I grabbed a dark blue collared polo and pulled it over my head. I grabbed my boots and walked out. I sat on my bed to don my boots, when I felt a hand glide up my back. I smiled to myself and finished tying my bootstrings. “Good morning, Alpha” A sultry voice greeted me as I turned to find my girlfriend, Missy, still naked in bed. I stare at her with a flirtatious grin as I slide the sheet away from her to expose her body to me. “A good morning, it is.” I leaned over and took a nipple into my mouth and bit it gently as I continued to kiss across her chest to the other one. Missy closed her eyes and dropped her head back moaning in delight. “Ahh Alpha! Didn’t get enough last night, hmm?” She brought her hand up to run through my hair but thought better
Tori POV I was having a wonderful dream where Victor and I were sitting on the huge lawn in front of the packhouse watching the children running around playing tag, just like we used to do. He was staring at me with the most beautiful blue eyes and a loving smile on his face. I smiled back and he leaned over and kissed my lips. I heard voices coming from behind us and turned to see Tammy and Eric happily walking up to us. Tammy plopped herself down next to me and began tapping my nose. I shook my head, but she kept tapping it. “Tori! Tori!” I heard her yelling as she giggled in my ear. I swatted at her hands, and she laughed. “Tori! Open your eyes!” I snapped my eyes open to see Tammy sitting on the edge of my bed. Eric was standing in the doorway. “Wake up sleepy head! Time to make the donuts!” I covered my head with my pillow and groaned. “Go away” I mumbled as she giggled again and tried to pull the pillow away.
