There was some movement when Dean rapped on the door. The third in charge was standing in front of me outside the spare house's bedroom where Levi was staying. Seth, of course, had the largest room in the home even though all of the Equinox Wolves were staying there.
Levi yelled out, "What?" and I trembled within in response to his husky, male voice.
Dean called and said, "It's me."
Levi screamed, "Good, pack your crap. We're going today. I want to go before I have to see her again." I whimpered inconsolably in my head, but my face was expressionless. Before attempting to open the door, Dean gave me a sympathetic look. It was secure. Dean, it's locked, said Seth.
You need to speak to your mate, so open it up, man.
Levi stormed across the room while growling. My partner is. When the door was opened, Dean and I were in his direct line of sight.
"Your mate is right here," I said, frowning. Levi gave me another quick glance, his face as expressionless as mine. In all honesty, he was the most handsome man I had ever seen, and I couldn't help but admire him once more. He was gorgeous.
My companion glared at Dean and shouted, "Why did you bring her here, Dean?"
She's your partner, and bringing her here was probably the only way to shake you out of these crazy beliefs, so why not? When Levi moved out of the way because he didn't want to touch me, he shoved me toward his Alpha, and I almost fell into the bedroom.
I exclaimed "Ow" as I regrouped. I stared at Dean as I turned around. "That hurt, asshole, I haven't Shifted."
He said with a wink, "Sorry child. Before turning on his heel and walking away, Levi frowned and sent a glance between Dean and I. Levi paused for a split second and then moved out of the doorway after giving me a quick glance.
He motioned for me to "leave" and pointed to the door. Despite the pain in my heart, I managed to maintain my composure. I moved inside the room and sat down on the edge of the big bed, attempting to mentally inhale a mental gulp of courage. Despite how stupid I might have felt, I knew I had to stand up for my companion. Because I did want Levi to try to love me or at least show some signs of doing so.
I said, noting my voice was a little wobbly, "I'm not leaving, you owe it to me to at least speak to you." Levi gave me a brief moment of attention before firmly slamming the door. In horror at the sound, I leaped. Levi took notice of my anxiety and grinned at me as a cat would at a mouse.
He called me "nervous, freckles."
I sneered, "No.
"You should be," he said, approaching the bed where I was sitting.
You won't hurt me, I'm your mate, I swallowed.
He reached me and looked down at me, "Who said anything about hurting you, freckles?" I gasped for air as I stared up at him. However, it wasn't because I was afraid; rather, it was because I was anxious and unsure of what to say to him. Come on, freckles, why are you here if you won't go?
I leaned in and said, "I'm your mate," gazing into his stunning blue eyes.
You are a child.
I'm 16 years old.
You're a kid, like I just said, he shot back.
I said, for the first time addressing him by his name, "Seth, but I'm still your mate." When I uttered Seth's name, his eyes shrank. But he said nothing. I understand that I'm much younger than you and that I'm not as attractive as many of the other She-Wolves, but I'm the only mate you're ever going to receive. I'm yours and your mine.
Levi remained silent for a short while before nodding. "I understand that you are my only friend, but that doesn't make this right. Imagine learning that your friend was a two-year-old toddler." I pulled a face as he turned to face me. "Exactly. That's the age difference between us. It's weird and wrong, like you dating a baby."
I am still your partner, though.
Yeah, he murmured. "What happened to your face?" he said abruptly as he softly ran a hand through his dark hair. I blinked in perplexity. He said, "Your face. It's bruised. What happened?"
"I fell".
It appears as though you were involved in a fight, not in a fall. He looked at me with a heavy, dark brow. I shrugged indifferently, not wishing to discuss anything.
I redirected the conversation by saying, "You're changing the subject."
You're now altering the topic by changing the topic.
I responded, crossing my arms over my chest, "Now you're changing the subject by saying that I'm changing the subject by changing the subject."
"What?" he asked, his brows drooping.
I yelled aggressively, "I'm your mate." "Don't you give a damn about me?"
Please be understanding, Mabella.
"May".
He rephrased, "What?"
I told him, "May. I go by May, not Mabella. I hate that fucking name."
We are that couple that sometimes mates aren't just meant to be, so May, you need to accept that we probably won't work out. He grinned down at me indignantly. You're a nice kid, but I'm not interested in you as a partner.
I snorted as I began to experience yet another wave of tears brought on by his rejection, "Can't you just wait for me to grow up?"
Because May is not the only factor.
I yelled, a few tears streaming down my cheeks, "You're just using this age thing as an excuse. It's because I'm not pretty, isn't it? I bet if I was pretty you'd want me. I wiped them away furiously.
Levi sighed heavily and sat awkwardly down next to me on the bed after saying, "Oh May." He comforted me by placing his arm around my shoulders in that manner. He gave me a small smile as he wiped my cheeks. I'm sorry, freckles, but I don't think we're going to get along. I'll leave with my Wolves today to make this easier on you.
I hiccuped as I sobbed hard, feeling as though my heart was breaking. Please, Mabella, put an end to your crying. I turned to cry on his shoulder and he squeezed my shoulders. My heart felt like it was being torn apart, but I felt silly and silly. I broke down in tears. I really don't like to see you upset, so please stop.
I sobbed, "You did this to me, you were supposed to love me and care for me, and now I'm going to be alone forever because you don't want me." As I sobbed, I clung to his shirt with both hands in an effort to hold him close. Levi uncomfortably encircled me with his arms, holding his breath as he moved one of his hands along the back of my body. I felt even more like a child being soothed by their father when he removed my baseball cap so he could clean my face more.
When I realized how sad I was acting, I took a small step back. I could smell Seth's masculine aroma because we were so near. My stomach was filled with butterflies as I gazed up into his beautiful eyes. Levi gave me a sympathetic look as he peered down at me.
I did the only thing I could when he opened his mouth, undoubtedly intending to further break my heart apart. His refusal was once again silenced when I leaned in and kissed him. As someone who had never kissed somebody, I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing. Before I realized what I was doing and moved away, our lips briefly met.
Levi blinked in disbelief as he stared at me in uncertainty before he kissed me once again. His lips were rough and brittle yet had a lovely taste, and I closed my eyes as we made passionate contact. As we kissed, the light dark stubble on his face tickled my face.
Seth's hands moved around me, no longer consoling me but rather holding me up against him as my body was on fire. My fingers untangled their firm grip on his shirt before my fingertips crept slowly up his chest. I could feel his heart throbbing strong and heavy. We kissed heavily, my thoughts of rejections vanishing and being replaced by sweet and passionate sentiments of need and lust.
When we broke away, breaking the kiss, I glanced up into his lovely blue eyes. "I am so fucked" he muttered gently, looking down at me.
"Seth" I whispered out, not sure what to say. He glanced at me for a bit longer, before turning and flinging me into the centre of the bed. I yelped in shock when Seth's dazzling blue eyes shined at me. A second later he was on top of me, kissing me deeply.
A faint groan spilled out of my mouth, as he pressed his body on top of mine while our tongues tormented one other. Seth's body seemed hard and solid above me, but I couldn't feel any of his weight. In fact, I felt weightless.
Levi broke the kiss, and leaned backwards just enough to pull off his shirt. My eyes lit up in want, as I noticed his huge muscled chest - his skin ivory and his six pack firm and shining. Tattoos glistened over his back, but I didn't get chance to look at the design because a second later his lips regained mine.
Levi pulled back again and his hands nervously grabbed at my shirt as we continued to make out for a few more minutes. He removed it as I leaned forward, making him see my entire body. Levi didn't seem to mind that I was only wearing a sports bra because I found them to be more comfortable.
We started kissing passionately once more as I accidentally kicked off my shoes. As our lips struggled against one another, my legs were encircling his waist. Levi kissed me from my neck down, covering my chin in the process. His lips kissed and nipped my skin while his hands raced up and down my sides. I caught hold of his musculatured back with my hands and let out a breathy sigh.
He took a brief pause as his lips came within millimeters of my skin and his breath brushed over it. He hesitated, and I shuddered. He murmured, "Damn, damn, damn."
I questioned, "What? Is something wrong?"
Levi sighed, "Yes, I'm just going to hell." After a brief period of confusion, his teeth began to rip into my skin. My skin was torn by his teeth, and I screamed in agony as a small amount of blood leaked out. As my fists sank into his back, I started to cry out in agony.
I was being marked and claimed by Seth.
He was forced to admit that I was his mate.
He owned me; I was his partner.
Dean yelled, "levi, dude, Alpha Peters is here." As my hand immediately rose to cover my neck, levi pulled away from me with blood covering his face.levi responded by calling back, appearing both anxious and out of breath. "I'll be down in a minute." I got out of bed as we heard Dean go. levi and I were both still shirtless, but I didn't feel exposed. levi murmured, "I'm sorry, I should have asked before claiming you.I sighed, "It's okay...I'm glad you claimed me, but...did you really want to claim me? Do you really want me to be your mate?" My neck was no longer bleeding, but it was still hurting. levi frowned when I withdrew my hand since it was covered in blood.He ignored my query and said, "Wait there." He entered the en suite bathroom and emerged moments later carrying a damp towel. Before wiping his own lips and neck, he cleansed the blood from my hand, neck, and shoulders. I made a self-conscious remark like, "You didn't answer my question."He frankly stated, "Because I do
is your mate and you are now a Luna.Roland snorted, "Luna my ass."I said angrily at him, "You're just jealous that I'll be a higher ranking than you'll ever be."You are only a Luna because you are selling yourself to an Alpha who wants to start a war and exterminate half the people.Roland, stop talking about your sister in such a way, my father yelled.He pointed to my claim mark and said, "It's the truth. She's only known the guy for a day and she's already got her tramp stamp.My dad gave him a stern "Roland" look.I snorted, "I don't know why you care, dick, it seems like you'll have me off your hands by tomorrow."True, I'm eager to never see your unattractive face again.My father yelled, "Roland, I will not tell you again," and slammed his fist onto the table; the drinks sloshed but didn't spill. He turned to me while still appearing irate. "You'll be traveling with Alpha Ethan tomorrow evening as he returns to the Equinox territory."I cried, "I don't want to leave, I have
levi growled "Fuck" in his sleep. As we traveled to the Equinox region, he sat next to me in the SUV's back seat. After five hours of travel, levi had passed out next to me. I was squeezed in between the two big men with Dean on the opposite side of me, which only made me feel smaller. The Beta, whose name I later learned to be Josh, was driving, and Oli were both seated in the front.I cast a quick peek at levi, who was snoring. He moaned in his sleep, "Don't...fuck." His fingers slid into his pants as he shifted in his seat. My eyes widened as I became aware of the expanding bulge in his pants. I soon understood the subject of his dream. "Faster...fuck...mabella".I blushed and uncomfortably glanced into my lap as Dean snorted. From the driver's seat, Josh observed, "Someone's having a nice sleep." levi groused once again as Dean and Oli chuckled. levi said in his sleep, "Yes, mabella...fuck more". I clumsily nudged my partner as I could feel the heat spreading throughout my entire
That night, I had trouble sleeping, although it had nothing to do with the bed. The bed was gorgeous and big, with soft white cushions and a dark purple blanket. But I slept restlessly that entire night as I laid there. I couldn't fall asleep, and the jerk down the hall was to blame. I wanted desperately for him to like me, want me, and fall in love with me, but I didn't dislike him at all. I really wanted to blame him for it because he had made it plain that he wouldn't, but instead, it only made me more needy for his desire for me. I desired levi's desire for me.I got out of bed and went downstairs when it was three in the morning and I still couldn't sleep due to tension. I didn't switch on any of the lights while I took in the lovely inside of the house.I went to the kitchen and got a glass of water, then I sat at the breakfast bar and looked out into the pitch-black night forest. Chris had sent me a couple texts, which I saw on my phone, but I chose to ignore them because I di
When Levi saw me, he did not compliment my appearance or even tell me that I had a great appearance. This made me feel a little bit sad. I had no requirement for him to bolster my ego or alleviate any of my insecurities in any way. Because I had dressed up for his benefit, it just would have been lovely if it had happened. But he treated me with the same total lack of concern that he had in the past.His office was spacious and impressive, and it was located in a large building that also housed a number of smaller offices and conference rooms. WhileLevi, who appeared to be very serious about his work, was seated behind his mahogany desk working on paperwork, the loud ticking of a grandfather clock could be heard in the room.He gestured for me to sit down on the leather couch on the opposite side of the room and instructed me to do so.I remarked with a "woof" as I made my way over to the couch.Levi was perplexed as he gazed up at me. I exploded and told him, "If you're going to bark
The moment his hand slipped into mine, I was taken aback. As we were walking, I turned to look atLevi, but he didn't seem to notice that he had just taken hold of my hand. I remarked, "You're holding my hand" as you did so."The Pack can't know we're not anything other than a perfect loved up Alpha and Luna," he glared down at me with an annoyed expression on his face.I couldn't help but snort with laughter as I asked, "Are they idiots?"His response, which was delivered with clenched teeth, was, "No, but we're going to be good actors." If I failed to persuade him, I could sense the intimidation in his remarks. "Well, I should be fine, I actually have a heart and feelings, but you, I'm not too sure about," she said. "You, on the other hand, I'm not too sure about."Put a stop to it, May.I made fun of him by saying, "Darling, that is not the way to speak to your loving mate" He mumbled something incomprehensible beneath his breath but didn't respond to my question. Despite the evid
He lied to his audience, saying something to the effect of, "I understand that some of you may have heard that I was sceptical of accepting my mate, but I can promise you that was not true." "I was simply cautious because there was an age gap between my mate and I, which is, of course, extremely unusual. However, I would have never denied the Pack its true Luna, its true mother." He chuckled as he glanced up at me from below.I had the impression that his grin was comparable to the one that Judas had given Jesus just before he betrayed him. I had absolutely no faith inLevi, and I didn't put any stock in what he had to say. He had more mood swings than a PMSing crack addict experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and every two seconds his demeanor would change dramatically. I had not the slightest bit of faith inLeviEthan.Before everyone went their separate ways for the evening,Levi offered a few more words of commentary. I could not believe that he could act as though he was a good person
After a little period of silence, Neil spoke up once more. She's true, and they are the ones making the decision regarding their relationship. If and when they decide to get married, we should support them because they will face enough scrutiny from other Packs without us arguing among ourselves.Angie shrieked, tossing her napkin to the floor and rising. "Are you crazy?" she demanded. She jumped to her feet when her chair made a loud noise on the floor. I will never, ever support this because this female will wreck Levi's life. I do not support this and I never will. She whirled around and stormed out of the room. Levi murmured, dropping his own napkin before rising. "We should go," he said. She stormed over to the entrance and I swiftly followed him.Before I left to find my partner, Sofia gave me a little smile and said, "I'm sure she'll change her mind.I yelled "Levi" to my companion as I ran after him. Wait for me, Levi.He commanded May, "Get in the car, now!" as he climbed in
