I don’t want anyone touching my mate except me or even seeing her in this outfit that could make anyone want her.

I pressed her against the door growling out « Mine » I placed my face against her neck and breathed her delicious scent that is driving me and my wolf mad.

« Stop that » She yelled and tears started streaming down her face. She tried to push me away but I am stronger than her and didn’t even budge. What is wrong with her ? « Just reject me already ». What the fuck is going on ? I am seriously confused. Why does she want me to reject her ? She obviously knows I’ll never in my life do that. And if she doesn’t I will make sure she does, the thought hadn’t even crossed my mind.

« I won’t reject you » My voice came out deeper than I intended.

« Well then I will. I, Lily Crawford reject you Logan Wa-«  I slammed her even deeper against the wall careful not to hurt her and placed a hand in her mouth. Stopping the words from coming out and hurting us both.

« Don’t you fucking dare » I yelled and punched the door. « I am your mate and whether you like or not you are now mine. And mine means, no one touches you, no one talks to you and no one fucking looks at you » I continued yelling and realized that I just yelled at my mate.

I locked eyes with her and started taking deep breaths while the anger I felt quickly turned into hurt. I sighed once again and took a step back, removing my hand. I already lost my cool in the first day of meeting her just fucking great Logan good job there.

« Why do you want me ? I can’t shift, I’m just human » She whispered as tears fell down her face. I hated seeing her like this. It all just escalated so quickly, I don’t even know why I yelled and why she started crying. What just happened ?

In a part I was glad that I wasn’t the reason she tried to reject me but another part was sad that she thought so low of herself. «  I’m so sorry I yelled at you, It’s just that I have waited for you for so long and I don’t care what you are » I took this opportunity to play with a piece of hair that fell forward. « You could have been a fucking goblin and I would still accept you as my mate ».

« Are you sure ? » She asked me and I could tell she believed me.

« I’m 100% sure » I said finally having all that anger and sadness I had just felt vanish. « We got to tell your pack about your departure » I went to open the door but she stopped me.

« No » Well that didn’t last long. My heart tightened as those words. Maybe the problem was really me. Is she ashamed of having me as a mate ? I know I’ll never be good enough for her but it hurt to know that she knew it.

« Tell them you need a new cook and you hired me » She continued breaking my heart without knowing it.

« But I’m your Mate » I whispered which was unusual for me since I always had a firm tone on my voice. I guess there is a first time for everything.

« Logan trust me, it’s not because of you just please do it for me » She begged me and I nodded, whatever her reasons are, I’ll respect them.

« I would do anything for you » I responded pressing her once again against the door. I couldn’t help the curiosity that filled my brain but in time I hope she’ll tell me. No pressure, all patience.

I really couldn’t help myself as I started leaving trails of small kisses along down her cheek. Once I found the spot I was going to mark her I had to stop. I want our relationship to be slow but not too much, I’ll mark her when she trusts me. « Very soon » I whispered before pulling away.

« Come on, let’s get you packed up » I took her hand and left the room. « Get your stuff, I’ll talk to your Alpha » I gave her a kiss on the cheek before leaving her side hesitantly.

I didn’t want to but as soon as I get permission the sooner we can be actual mates and introduce her to the pack. Damn I’ve waited 5 years for this moment, I don’t know how I’m this ‘calm’ right now.

I sniffed the air and realized that the two wolves that entered earlier were long gone. I followed Alpha William’s scent until I saw him with the Luna and Paul on the edge of his territory. The other wolves were trailing behind not paying attention to anything but their surroundings. That’s why I brought a few of my warriors with me, in case someone was stupid enough to plan a surprise attack against us.

Their heads snapped to my direction as they watched me approach them. « Alpha William do you mind if I had a quick talk with you ? » I asked him and he let go of his mate.

« Of course not » He said and walked until he was by my side. « Sweetheart, show Paul and the boys the rest of my territory while I talk to Alpha Logan » The Luna nodded and continued walking along side Paul.

‘Alpha, I don’t mean to be rude but please make it fast. She’s driving us crazy. Especially me’ Paul pleaded through mind link and I had to stop a smile from covering my face.

‘I’ll do what I can, Paul’ I said and he replied a hurried ‘thanks’.

« So what did you want to discuss ? » William said placing his hands on his pockets as we walked the opposite direction of where we just were.

« I’m asking permission to take a person from your pack to mine in exchange of protection » I spoke with authority and I watched as his brows furrowed.

« Which one are you talking about ? » He asked confused.

« Lily Crawford » Soon to be Lily Walker.

He chuckled lowly and I had to hold in a growl. « Why do you want the omega ? » He snickered and I took a deep breath.

« Omega ? » I asked him and he nodded.

« Yup, since she has werewolf blood in her body and failed to shift we have to consider her the weakest » He explained and I once again held myself from snapping his neck for calling my mate weak. « Why do you want her anyway ? »

Because she’s my mate. « Because she’s an incredible cook and mine just retired. I’m pretty sure you have another one lying around » I lied fluently, hoping he would believe it.

This is what Lily wanted and I’m complying to her wishes even if I didn’t understand them.

« Oh well, You can have her as long as she agrees and I’m happy to help you » He said and I nodded. He shook my hand and walked away from me.

What kind of Alpha is he ? To not care about one of his pack members. If it was one of mine I would’ve asked a hundred more questions regarding their safety and reasons, but no he just let’s someone take a member and only asked about 2 questions. But right now that wasn’t what got my attention. It was the fact that I finally have my mate with me.

I looked around and when I knew nobody was looking, I did a small jump before walking to the pack house. To where my mate was waiting for me. I am not going to get tired of saying that.
