“I got that from you kicking me in my genitals” he groaned.
I giggled. “You deserved it and you’re still not getting up on this bed,” I told him with annoyance.
He let out a huff sounding exasperated. I figured this would do him some good and teach him some humility.
“I know I need to make a decision,” he said from the floor as I stiffened “and I know that I’m not being fair to you. I just ask that you give me some time.”
“What am I supposed to do?” I asked tightly “Leave my life on hold while you decide what you want? It doesn’t work that way! I would rather have you reject me and let me leave so that I can get on with my life.”
“My wolf won’t let me,” he said guiltily “I need you, or he’s going to go feral. I’m sorry, but I think that you might be stuck with me, even if I don’t choose you, I need you by my side.”
I closed my eyes. I was never going to stop fighting for my freedom or my right to be his mate fully, but right now I was too tired to argue with him. Let the selfish bastard try to justify it however he wanted. He knew it was wrong. He was just too arrogant to concede it. I turned my back on him, feeling nothing but disappointment for the mate that had been gifted to me. The moon goddess could be cruel sometimes. Whatever King Kace thought, he did not get to choose how my life was going to work out. If it took me running away to gain my freedom, I would do it, but part of me, the part of me that was connected through the mate bond, hoped that my mate just might see the light and realize what he would miss out on by rejecting me.

Leah has one hell of a kick. I spent the whole night tossing and turning, my wolf in absolute hysterics at the fact that such a dainty-looking girl was able to hit us so hard in our private area, the pain so intense that I almost vomited up my stomach contents. I woke up to find that she was gone, the bed made up and I frowned, wondering where she had gone. I hurriedly showered and got dressed, making my way down to the dining room, only to see Leah seated and eating quietly, her head bowed down, her long hair covering her face. She looked none the worse for wear, considering the long night I’d had.
Try not to piss her off, you don’t want to end up kicked in the balls again you moron
my wolf smirked.
You’re enjoying my utter humiliation aren’t you Lucian? You think it’s hilarious. I’m so glad you got some enjoyment out of it.
Yes. You’re so used to girls flinging themselves at you that you’ve forgotten how to talk to them nicely. This girl has spunk. She won’t take your nonsense. She’s going to make you work at treating her right. It’s refreshing and she doesn’t make me want to kill her with my bare hands just by being in her presence, unlike somebody else I could mention he growled.
I sighed. Cordelia isn’t even here, so you can relax you dumbass. I wish you would stop acting like this with her. She hasn’t even done anything to you.
No doubt because she’s sulking in her room or something he hissed back.
I rolled my eyes and joined Leah at the table, pack members submitting their necks to me in respect as I sat beside her. Leah looked at me and went to do the same, but I stopped her. “No,” I said softly, my voice carrying in the room as her pack stared at her in curiosity and disbelief “As my mate, you will never have to submit to me ever.”
Gasps of shock from the table. Several girls looked at Leah disgusted. I was thankful to note that Brynn wasn’t there. I fished something out of my pocket, pushing it in front of Leah. I’d sent James out on an errand yesterday, when I’d found out it was my mate’s birthday, wanting to do something nice for her, even with all my indecision. I suspected that she hadn’t been given many gifts before. Call it intuition.
Leah stared at the small box that was carefully wrapped, a small bow tied around it. She looked speechless. When she spoke, her voice was barely a whisper.
“Is that for me?” she asked, sounding surprised.
“Happy birthday Leah,” I said and she blinked, her hands shaking as she took the box in her hands, her fingers untying the bow as though it was something precious.
Hadn’t the girl ever had a birthday present before? I narrowed my eyes, watching as she undid the wrapping paper with the same amount of care.
It was a small jewelry box. She licked her lips, looking nervous, and then pulled the lid off, her eyes widening. It was a necklace, made of white gold, a round oval locket with diamonds on the outside that shimmered as she held it in her hands.
“Thank you” she whispered, blinking back what looked like tears.
She began to struggle with the clasp. I stood up and grabbed it, putting the necklace around her neck and then doing it up for her as she touched it with a smile on her face.
That smile lit up the room. I stared at her, mesmerized, my wolf also taken with the brilliance of it. To me, it was a small thing, but to her it was huge.
“Did you see that?”
“He gave the loser a present. Wait till Brynn sees it, she’s going to lose her shit.”
