Filed to story: The Alpha King’s Intoxicating Mate
My wolf gave a vicious growl and I fought him back. The last thing I needed was to let him loose. Her eyes narrowed at me as she studied me carefully. I fought to keep my calm expression.
“You’re the one that saved me,” she said slowly, biting her lip, her eyes beginning to brighten.
Damn, she looked adorable. My wolf wanted to kiss those pale lips of hers and sniff her hair and sweet scent.
“Yes,” I said tightly, “and that man is never going to hurt you again.”
Her eyes brightened. A slow smile spread across her face. It looked astonishing. She was beautiful. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. Cordelia was sulking as James shifted, moving so that Cordelia didn’t have a view of the two of us as we spoke. The girl held out a delicate and frail-looking hand.
“I’m Leah,” she said frankly “Who are you?” she asked.
A smile touched my lips. Her approach was refreshing, unlike the way most girls seemed to fawn over me.
“Kace,” I said easily, shaking her hand, being careful not to grip it too tight.
It was soft and delicate, in comparison to my rough and calloused one.
“Thank you, for saving me,” she said gruffly “he was a real bastard” she added, making me chuckle.
James looked at her fascinated. She held her hand out to him “I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name” she said casually.
“Ah James” he stammered, shaking her hand gingerly and shooting me an apologetic look as I narrowed my eyes, feeling particularly murderous towards him as he touched her.
He knew full well how mates reacted to other shifters touching what was theirs.
Leah looked over at Cordelia who was scowling. “Cordelia” she hissed indignantly.
Leah’s eyes widened. “Leah” she hissed back, making me laugh out loud.
This girl had spunk. Leah looked down at what she was wearing. She blushed. “I’m afraid that I only had shirts that would fit. Once we get to the pack, we can ask for some clothes” I added, trying to reassure her.
I hadn’t wanted to ask Cordelia. Both girls had different frames and the way Cordelia was acting, I knew she would have been incensed if I had dared to ask her for a dress or something.
Leah looked out the window. “What pack are you referring to? The Dark Rising Pack?” she asked coldly, her body frame stiffening.
“Well yes, that is where we were headed when we heard you in trouble,” I said shifting awkwardly on the chair.
She scowled. “Perhaps you would like to stop and drop me off at the road. I can find someplace to hitch hike” she added thoughtfully.
Like hell my wolf snarled as if I would ever put our mate in danger like that. I don’t like that she wants to get away from the Dark Rising Pack Kace. What did they do to her?
“I don’t understand. Do you have something against Dark Rising Pack?” I asked while Cordelia snickered. “You’re an i***t Kace. She’s probably an omega from there and embarrassed to go back” she said rudely.
She flushed. James coughed and then glared at me. The car pulled to a stop and I realized that it was too late, we were now in front of the pack house and about to be greeted. “I apologize, but you are now my guest and as such, deserve to be respected,” I told her, seeing her look moodily down at the ground.
“Are you not going to leave me here?” she asked in a hushed voice, looking at me hopefully.
“No,” I told her, my wolf protesting with every fiber in his being at the mere thought of it, leaving Cordelia gasping in indignation “You will be coming back with me,” I said intentionally.
She bit her lip but straightened her shoulders. I grinned. I wanted her to show the Dark Rising Pack that she couldn’t be cowed. That’s a girl, I thought triumphantly.
“James escort Cordelia out of the car” I instructed carelessly.
