Noah’s POVHeading back to my room after feeling her lips against mine took mental and physical discipline but I was able to walk away before my wolf tried to convince me to just stay the night with her. ‘You know you wanted to do the same. We almost lost them tonight. ’ Hunter scowls in my head, hating that I didn’t listen to him. Tonight really tested me as a man. If you had asked any other Alpha if they would leave their mate’s side after almost losing them, I could tell you right now what they would say in response. Hell-to the fuck- no! Those days of brutal Alpha training could not prepare me enough for the toughest thing I had to do, walking away from my mate. In all honesty, I can see her reluctance in accepting this and can sense her hesitation to complete the bond. That’s okay, if I have to woo my mate I will. I will show her the type of man I am and make her thank the goddess for the bond we have, because that is what I have been doing since the moment I laid eyes on her

Noah’s POVGiving Amelia space and time is going against every fiber in my body. I desperately wanted to wait by her door day and night if needed just to make things right, but I know that’s not what she needs. I have noticed how she has changed from when she was younger. I remember her wild, carefree attitude. Amelia and Olivia ran that pack house crazy growing up and they were often seen running from the trouble that they had caused. Those two were thick as thieves and got away with murder. I can still see her running around with the other boys, with her blonde hair whipping in the wind. Back then I was irritated at the attention she got from guys, but maybe my wolf sensed something special about her even when we were younger. It didn’t help that I was the only guy she would avoid at all cost. Since she lost her parents she has closed off everyone around her, everyone except my sister. She built her walls and wouldn’t let anyone in, so majority gave up. The one thing that never cha

Noah’s POV “Well I’m sure that’s what you told Ember this morning as well.’ Her tail smacking my snout but it wasn’t her action but her words that bugged me. What the hell does she mean? Ember is becoming more of a problem by the second, which is the main reason I didn’t want her to come this week. Thanks mom! Amelia quickly trots over to the tree to get her clothes. Being naked is like a second nature to wolves. We are used to seeing each other without clothes. We only become possessive once you find your mate and you want to protect them from fellow pack members from checking them out. Being out in the woods alone, I am looking forward to seeing her shift back for the first time and getting to feast my eyes on her glorious figure. Of course the world has to be cruel though. Willow gives me one last sexy look before Amelia’s sweet voice echos in my mind ‘Turn around, MATE!’ She throws at me. Narrowing my eyes I turn and head for the shorts that I left behind a nearby tree. Quickly

Noah’s POV I can tell she is pissed again but then she had to give me that kiss to try and prove me wrong. I have to have the most stubborn mate. The way she glared at me one minute because of the challenge I gave her and the next giving me a peck so she can walk away. Nothing however compares to the look she gave me when I stepped away from her. Amelia is confused and hurt by my actions and Hunter is beating me up over doing that to our girl. I have been pacing in my room for the past half an hour listening to my wolf list all the wrong doings I have done in the past hour. ‘Did you see her fucking face? You should have claimed her in front of everyone! She is ours!’ He has been screaming in my head since she walked away to find my sister. For the hundredth time I saw her face. Of course I hurt her because that’s all I have been doing since the bond came into place. Fuck. I keep messing up. How am I going to fix this? ‘Why do you have to be so stupid? Just go mate her in front

Noah’s POV This is not going how I thought tonight would go. I was thinking that I would be able to smooth talk her into going for a walk with me. But instead here I am drooling over how sexy my girl is. I know, I’m pathetic but you can’t blame me when I have a girl like her as my mate. Too bad our plan that we spent hours concocting went out the window the moment she walked out in her short dress that doesn’t hide anything. Her chest is shown off with the deep v from the dress and the dress hugs her curves all the way to just above mid thigh. Then her long tan legs take over. Just take me now because the sight of her is pure ecstasy. My wolf couldn’t help but agree and purred as our eyes connected across the fire. Don’t get me wrong, my girl could be wearing a ripped and stained T-shirt and have dirt all over her face but to me she would still be breath taking. Mixed with tonight’s plan to woo her on my mind, it’s hitting me in the gut even more. Something that has never happened t
