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 don't know my answer yet." You're my mate. The mark has been approved; no matter what, we are tied for life. I just need a little time to adjust, May. He didn't seem overly happy.
Do you now regret having claimed me?
Stop asking so many
questions, he screamed, getting up from the bed. "I don't know, May, I simply said that. He crossed the room to a duffle bag on the opposite side and took a shirt out of it. Before throwing it my way, he opened it up. "My instincts are going to be all over the place with you today, so please wear my shirt and just stay with Dean," it said as it landed on the bed next to me.
I said, pulling on the shirt, "My father isn't going to be happy with this. It dropped to my knees since it was so big.
levi shook his head and put on a fresh shirt, saying, "I don't want to talk about that right now." I'll see you later. I need to depart.
I asked, feeling like a clinging moron, "Will you?" levi exhaled loudly and turned to face me. He hurried up to the bed and quickly grasped my face.
The phrase "You're my mate" He gave me a short kiss on the lips before turning away and leaving the room. A short while later, I went downstairs with him after leaving the room. levi had departed with Parker and his Beta, whose names I hadn't even learned yet or with whom I hadn't actually spoken.
Dean asked someone from the kitchen, "Where's the jailbait?" Despite my disapproval of the latest moniker, I entered the room while nervously fumbling with the bottom of my shirt. "Oh hey kid," he said with a smile.
I frowned and told him, "levi said I have to stay with you today." In the kitchen, Ollie and Jenson were also seated and enjoying breakfast. Dean approached and removed the collar from my neck after inspecting the blouse I was wearing. I subconsciously pulled the shirt over my claim mark after slapping his hand away.
I yelled, "Fuck off Dean," at him.
The group chuckled as Dean turned to his mates and said, "Ten bucks levi's in jail for statutory rape by the end of the week."
I yelled at them, blazing reddened, "That's not funny."
It's kind of hilarious, child. You're levi's real jailbait. If he's not careful, playing around with you could harm his future.
I snarled at Dean, "Why are you being such an ass?" He simply grinned broadly at me.
"Because it makes me happy,"
Dean received a deadly stare from Ollie as he said, "May be you hungry?" He quickly got a plate and brought me some eggs and bacon after I nodded. I ate in silence because the stillness was unsettling and made me wish I had gone to school.
The fact that levi had finally claimed me as his mate made me pleased, but I wasn't sure whether he actually wanted to be my mate. I was uneasy and felt used. levi made me feel unattractive and immature; a partner should make you feel appreciated, but levi gave me the opposite impression. He saw me as a burden, one he wasn't even attracted to.
Jenson remarked, "You've hardly touched your food," as I set my fork down and slid my chair back.
I said as I got up and left the room, "I'm not as hungry as I expected.
I disregarded Dean's summons to "jailbait" when he called after me. He followed me as I left the house, laughing, "Jailbait, come on," finding something funny. Nothing struck me as being funny.
Dean, leave me alone.
Asking "Where are you going?"
I yelled at him, "Home. Somewhere you can't come. If you follow me there, I'll call my dad, and he'll kick your ass." Dean, who called me Jailbait and followed me all the way home, infuriated me, so I yelled at him and slammed the door, "Go fuck yourself." Fortunately, he chose not to follow me inside.
He was outside talking on the phone while walking up and down the side of my house, and I noticed when I peeked outside. I quickly went to my bedroom and gently opened the window so I could listen in on the talk.
Dean moaned into his phone, "levi, I'm not a babysitter." I scowled in irritation. He said, "Well, you obviously do care about her if you marked her. Dean retorted, "Well, even if you don't want her to be your mate, you've marked her." Rejection swirled around in my stomach.
I said quietly to myself, "Am I really that bad?" Dean looked up at my remarks, regardless of how quiet they were. He sighed when he spotted me sitting at my bedroom window and gave me a sympathetic look.
Dean hung up, saying, "I have to go, levi. I'll see you later." He briefly kept his hands on his hips as he peered up at me before arching an eyebrow. "Are you letting me in or am I going to have to break in again?"
I remained silent for a short while before returning downstairs and opening the door for him. I was a confused, dejected, angry, and sad mess. levi blew hotter and colder than the outside temperature. I wanted I knew how he felt about me, but I didn't think levi really knew, and that was the root of our biggest issue.
Dean flipped the TV on while flicking his feet up onto the coffee table, and I sat motionless in my living room. While discreetly observing, he was typing on his phone, occasionally casting a glance my way. He had to check to make sure I hadn't abruptly vanished because I was being so quiet.
Dean finally observed, "You're awfully quiet," after nearly an hour of mindlessly watching TV. I merely gave him a shrug in response. Although I don't know you well, I can tell you aren't usually this silent.
I shouted at him, "What are you a damn shrink?"
He grinned at me and said, "I like you kid, you've got spunk and attitude. And I'm all for the whole brooding teenage, I don't give a fuck, vibe - but whether you like it or not, you're going to be the Equinox Luna and I'm the Equinox third, meaning I'm going to be your guard. So why don't you drop this whole pitbull act you've got going on and talk to me?"
I regarded him intently for a while before speaking. "I guess you want me to braid your hair and paint your nails while I tell you about my feelings."
"Yeah, we'll get along just fine, kid," Dean laughed once more.
When noon rolled along, my father checked on me and was not pleased with what he discovered. He snarled, racing over to me and yanking the collar down to reveal my claim mark. "I can smell him all over you," he yelled. "How could he touch you in such a way."
Dean said, "He's an Alpha, you're lucky he hasn't mated her yet," drawing a frown from me that incensed my father even more.
My father growled at the third in command, "She's sixteen.
Dean explained calmly, pushing aside his jovial demeanor, "I get that, but all I'm saying is that levi is an Alpha. You're a Beta, surely you understand how possessive Alpha's are - especially one as strong and dominant as levi. He's claimed his mate, you should be counting yourself lucky that is all he's done."
She is too young to be mated.
They are mates; neither Alpha Ethan nor May are to responsible for their acts. They share a close bond that is stronger than that of most mates because they both come from powerful families.
I listened in silence, believing that although we were friends, it wasn't levi's fault and that everything else was because he was a dick. a gigantic dick.
My father turned to me and asked, "mabella, what do you think of Alpha Ethan?" with serious dark eyes.
I yelled, "I detest him."
He gasped with disbelief, "Really?"
"No, I don't hate him, I just...no, yeah, I hate him," I sighed as I shook my head.
Slowly nodding, my father said, "Right, I see. I need to go back to the Alphas...I need to speak to Alpha Ethan in particular." He moved toward the door and scowled while turning to face Dean and I once more before opening it.
I yelled after my father, "Tell levi I detest him.
Yes, you and I will get along fine, Dean screamed with laughter
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
When a horn honked outside, Levi interrupted the kiss, but I could sense his hesitation. I looked up at him and grinned as a frown appeared on his face. The phrase "I'll see you tonight"He mumbled, "Hmm, yes, tonight," while off-guard. Before gathering my stuff and sprinting outside, I grinned up at him. Dean was driving while tapping his watch like an irate senior citizen.Dean said as I hopped into the car, "Look, if I have to be a soccer mom and do the school run, at least be ready at the right time."You're a cranky bastard in the morning, I tell you.He retorted, "And you're a raging bitch all day long."I grinned, "Touché." We didn't talk much as we traveled to my new high school because Dean was in a nasty mood. As we got closer to the school, I was both anxious and excited at the same time.Dean saw my excitement and said, "Don't worry, just stick with Shawna and Javier and you'll be OK. "They were wise choices on your part; both are strong and good Wolves."I said with a shr
