(Amber's POV)I was a little bewildered by the rapid mood swings that Ryan was undergoing at the moment, but if he intended to seduce me everytime he felt a little jealous, then I wasn't going to complain.His urgent kiss had taken me by surprise, but there was no resistance from me as I allowed him to deepen the kiss, his lips working fiercely against mine, his hands gripping my head like his life dependent on it.He broke away suddenly and stared intensely into my eyes and for a moment I felt as though he was going to swallow me whole. The desire reflected in his eyes was almost frightening."You're mine Amber. MINE. No one else's." He growled furiously, his fingers tightening in my hair."I know Ryan..'m yours..no one else's," I soothed as the eyes of his wolf flashed alongside his and Rae reacted eagerly, her desire fuelling my own.Ryan's face darkened as he inhaled deeply and without another word, he picked me up and walked purposely to his bed, depositing me carefully on the mat

(Ambers POV)I was exhausted by the time Lily had finished helping me get ready for the date with Ryan. It didn't matter how much I insisted that it wasn't a date, and that it was simply a dinner, she wouldn't hear any of it.After we had found a dress that met her specifications, she insisted on helping me fix my makeup that she had managed to gather from the curious omega's who also volunteered to help out. Before I knew what was happening I seemed to have a small army of women running around and chattering excitedly at the fact that they were helping their Luna to get ready for a date with their Alpha.I had gotten so tired of correcting them , that I eventually gave up and let them have their gossip. I didn't see any lasting harm coming from it. The worst that could happen is perhaps Ryan became angry with me…but if that resulted in his naked body next to mine again then I couldn't honestly see myself complaining.I felt a little overdressed for something as simple as a dinner, bu

(Ryan's POV)I was proud of how I'd handled the whole date situation, despite not being very good at romantic gestures or discussing how I felt and I was confident that Amber understood just how much she meant to me."Of course she does! Otherwise she would never have agreed!" My wolf chuckled happily, his chest puffing out in pride."I still don't like the thought of bringing her with us right now," I sneered, "Last time he was anywhere near him, his eyes spent more time ogling her tits than they did paying attention to what he was supposed to be talking about with me.""Well, it was your decision to utilize her feminine assets and use them for your benefit. You can't be pissed that she did exactly what you wanted.""I'm not pissed with her, I'm pissed with his lecherous eyes and the thoughts that I know have been swirling in his head since he saw her last." I snarled furiously, "She's ours. I will not share or tolerate another man thinking of her in that way.""I hate to break it to

As I opened my eyes the next morning, I realized almost instantly that Ryan had made good on his promise. I winced as I tried to turn over in bed and much to my dismay, even this simple movement made my body scream in protest. When I finally managed to turn to the other side, my heart sank in a sort of bittersweet disappointment.The place where Ryan should have been was empty and by the feel of the cold sheets next to me as I ran my hand over them, he had clearly been gone for some time. I sighed internally and threw the covers back as I sat up, gritting my teeth as I tossed my legs over the side of the bed.“Don’t be too sad Amber,” Rae soothed, “He has a busy schedule, you know that.”“I know, I just…it was stupid of me to hope for something a little more. Is a ‘Good Morning’ from him too much to ask?”Rae whined in response to the sadness that pricked at my chest before suddenly she began showing a lot of interest in the bedside table in front of me..“Wait! Look! He’s left you a

Lily's PoVThe way my heart was hammering in my chest, I felt certain that Tom must be able to hear it and it was doing nothing to calm the flush on my cheeks that bloomed of its own accord.“Is everything okay Lily?” He asked and the way my name sounded on his lips sent a pleasurable shiver down my spine.I was terrified that if I spoke out loud while my emotions were raging this way, that he would instantly know just how much I craved him, so I simply nodded and offered a weak smile.I could feel Amber’s questioning gaze on me but I tried my best to ignore it. She wasn’t stupid, I’m sure that she would figure it out pretty quickly, but I trusted her not to say anything.“I wanted to ask you about your brother, actually,” Tom said as he took a step closer and I stiffened, causing him to rub his neck uncertainly at my reaction, “Has he given you any more trouble?”I shook my head and forced my emotions down so that my voice wouldn’t betray me.“No, he’s left me alone mostly since Ambe
