“No, never Alpha. You have my word” He says watching Damien.
“Then once you have proven yourself and told me what I want to know, I may consider letting you stay, but you aren’t to mark her until my child is born understood?”
“Yes, Alpha” and his face lights up with excitement, so does Tabitha’s.
“Alpha?” Tabitha asks as Damien walks away. He turns to look at her.
"Can I mark him though?” He seems to think for a second.
“I will allow it, but I see his mark on you. I will not only kill him but once that child is born I will kill you” They both nod at his words.
“Don’t leave them alone together and find a room that’s clean and has proper bedding and seating” He says to the guard who nods before leaving the room. Another guard shows up in his place.
“I will give you one chance, rogue. Don’t ruin it because I will end you” He says.
“Thank you Alpha” He says softly looking toward his mate.
“What’s your name?” I ask, not wanting to keep calling him rogue.
“Trey Luna, and thank you for this” He adds and I nod.
“Come on, the guards can handle it from here” Damien says, holding his hand out. I take it and we go to leave when Tabitha darts away from her mate. I can’t hide my shock when she runs to me throwing her arms around my neck hugging me.
“Thank you” She whispers and I relax and rub her back.
“It’s okay Tabitha, just take care and be careful” I tell her before she lets go. Her tear stricken face lit up with hope before she went back to her mate.
Turning to Damien, he is watching me and his hand moves to my face, before I feel his thumb stroke my cheek softly. I lean into his hand.
“Let's go for that run” He says before pulling me against him and wrapping his arm around me.
Chapter 20
Lily POV
We drove to the forest edge and I could feel Layla pressing under my skin excitedly, eager to be let free to roam around and feel the wind in her fur, her paws digging deep into the soil and running with her mate. Damien pulled the car over, hopping out and wasted no time before stripping his shirt off. I watched his hardened muscles move under his skin with each movement he made.
I couldn’t help but wonder how he was covered in scars, though. Tattoo’s cover most of his skin at the front hiding them, yet his back was riddled with long gashes. The only thing I figured out was they had to have been done before he had his wolf because they would have healed without leaving the scars behind.
“Am I the only one getting naked” He asked, turning to face me, catching me gawking like a creep. I felt my face heat as his eyes looked at me, a smirk on his lips, making me turn away. I pulled my shirt off before dumping it on the bonnet of the car.
“You first” I said, pointing to his pants. He proudly dropped his pants, placing his hands on his hips, showing his manhood off proudly. I raised an eyebrow at his pose.
“Well, someone is not shy at all” I tell him.
“What’s there to be shy about, Love. You are mine and I am yours now lose the pants” He said walking over before tugging on my belt and undoing it.
After a few seconds we were both standing awkwardly naked out in the open. Well, I was standing awkwardly while he seemed quite content in the nude.
“Can you turn around?” I ask, not wanting him to see me shift.
“Nothing I haven’t seen before” He says before putting his hand up in surrender and turning around.
I crouch on the ground digging my fingers into the soil, my claws coming out leaving marks in the soft earth. I feel my bones rearrange and shift into my wolf. Layla pushing forward and taking control. She shakes out her fur before stretching. Damien turns back around to face us.
“Layla” He says before stepping closer and running his fingers through her fur. Layla rubs her body against his hip and legs, loving the feel of him touching her fur.
“Geez Layla, what are you a cat, stop rubbing yourself on him. God, you’re embarrassing sometimes”
