CHAPTER 2

TRISTEN

"Still thinking about the one that got away huh?" Bree asked, she sauntered into the kitchen. The door swinging closed behind her. 

"Huh" I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. Only people that knew of my mate was Skylar, my father and the elders. Not that it was a secret, but it damn sure wasn't any of her business. She won, she's going to be the new Luna of this pack and she should be grateful. 

"Dont deny it Tristen, I've known about her for a while. Did you forget my father is one of your dad's oldest friends? For the last two years I've watched you pine for her, want her in ways I want you to want me" Her expression dulled, crinkling in saddness. 

I looked away from her, Not willing to watch her pine for me. It wasnt anything against her personally, any woman that I'd choose would'nt be enough for me. Out the corner of my eye, I could see her look of disgust, covering the longing to have me to her self and the jealousy coursing in her. 

Bree is a beautiful woman, there's no refuting it. Her caramel skin, long toned thighs, curves in all the right places. She had brown hypnotizing eyes with golden flecks, Cute perfect lips. She always dressed to impress, any man would be lucky to have her, If they could get past her slightly bad attitude that is. 

Everything about her screams sex appeal. A temptation that can be hard to deny. 

Silence filled the room, only our breathing being heard. l looked towards her, feeling the heat of her stare. 

Lust and longing burning in her eyes, she stepped toward me laying her hand over mine on the counter, her eyes never leaving mine, she leaned into me inhaling deeply into my chest as she ran her hand up my arm. 

She paused at the spot where she will place her mark. Her eyes hooded with desire. She kissed my neck tenderly. It felt wrong, but also enticing. I groaned tightening my hand on the edge of the counter. 

She smirked at my reaction. 

Bree trailed kisses along my jaw, moaning as she went. Her mouth gently touching the corner of my lips.  her mouth inches from touching them fully. 

"Stop!" I said firmly. Turning my head away, her lips brushed against my cheek. Grabbing her waist, I gently pushed her body from mine.

"Why? Why wont you just have me! She does'nt derserve you Tristen, I do. Be with me, love me, take me!" She screamed, slamming her hands into my chest repeatedly. Pack members started filed into the packhouse at the commotion. I could hear their whispers from where we stood.

"Tristen start treating me like the soon to be Luna of this pack, let go of the woman that didnt want you. I am here and she isn't, show me some kind of respect!!" she hissed with hatred. 

Anger flared deep inside me. Adriel feeding the rage I feel at her disrepecting Jaela. How dare she! Who does she think she is, she has no idea what happened between us. Who was feeding her these lies?

A low growl started deep in my chest as I felt Adriel come to the surface. Forcing him back, Gritting my teeth at the sheer effort to lock him away, I took several steps away from her before I loose my Grip. 

There was no use, before I could stop myself, my hand curled around her throat pulling her inches from my face. "ENOUGH! BREE, until I mark you, you're just another pack member bound by the rules like everyone else. You dont get to dictate what I do or what im going to do. Next time you step out of line I will ban you from the pack-house INDEFINETLY" ! yelled imbuing my voice with the full power of my aura. She whimpered offering her neck in submission. 

"Do we understand Bree?" I asked her through clenched teeth. She slowly nodded her head, keeping her eyes fixed on the floor. 

I left the kitchen, leaving her before I take her head off her shoulders. In my haste I ran directly into Sky, the lingering pack members scattering away as they saw me. 

"So, we going to get Jaela?" He whispered, clearly happy.

Ignoring him, I poked my head back into the kitchen "Also Bree its Alpha Tristen" Not caring the least bit about the shock on her face.

I let the door to kitchen swing close roughly as I turned to leave. Rolling my eyes at Skylar and his smug face. Goddess He works on my nerves. 

Shifting into my wolf shredding my clothes in the process, I barreled through the front door, taking off through the woods. Letting my wolf take over pushing me to the back part of his mind.

Adriel didnt return control to me until we crept to the edge of the forest into familiar surroundings, at that moment I realized where we were.

'Adriel what the hell were you thinking, we can't be here' I scolded him.

'Sure we can, dont be a chump'

"I'm not, why did you bring us h...' My words caught in my throat as her scent brushed my nose, Apple pie and cinnamon. 

'My favorite, its delicious' Adriel panted.

Lust flooded all my senses. My heart hammered in my chest giving a nice rythm to the wind rustling in the tree's. Dear Goddess if I can scent her then she's close enough to scent me. 

As the thought entered my mind, a deep growl came from behind me. I turned to see her beautiful white wolf standing inches away from me. Her wolf was emmaculate, the tips of her ears were black with a long strip of black fur lining her back to her tail. The tips of her paws were black, Her eyes a piercing hazel green with orange swirls. 

Breathtaking!

Hesitantly I stepped towards her. She growled a warning baring her teeth. Without another thought I turned tail back the way we came, never looking back. The stampede of paws pounding the dirt behind told me she was still following us. Avoiding fallin tree trunks and bushes, never slowing.  

Further I went, the less I heard from the wolf behind me. Leaping to clear a fallin tree, I was speared out the air, nearly knocking the breath from my lungs. Shifting midair, crashing onto the forest floor with a body landing directly on top of me pushing my face into the dirt. 

Mmm... Apples, I didnt fight the assualt, enjoying the perfect speciman laying her body on mine. Tingles and sparks radiated at each place her skin touched mine. She weighed nothing sitting atop my back, I could feel her strength as she held me down. I could have broke free with ease, but I knew she would'nt back down and that would have been a fight. 

"Were we not clear when I specifically told you to never come back. Did you think I was playing, do you take me for a joke?" She spat. 

"I didn't" I tried reasoning with her, but she smashed my face hard into the dirt. Her nails digging into the back of my neck.

Ouch!

She wouldnt let utter a word, everytime I tried she'd lay a punch into me. Each time hurting more than the last. I couldnt take it any more, rolling her from my back I pinned her to the ground. Faster than I could comprehened what was happening, she manuevered her way from under me. Jaela was on her feet ready to tango.

My eyes widened at how quick she was. I tried grabbing her, she pivoted out of reach, sending a hard kick into my abdomen. Bending forward only for my head to connect with her knee. 

I saw stars, my body flew backwards hitting the ground, leaves crunching under my weight. Rubbing my head to remove the throbbing pain. Distracted for a moment I almost missed her body flying towards me with the intent to inflict more injury. Dodging in the knick of time only for Her next attack soon after, this time I was counting on it. Using her own weight against her I twisted her body flipping her hard onto her back, pinning her underneath me. 

Writhing to free herself, she bucked her hips forcefully to throw me off of her. Cursing she pushed against me hard to free herself. "Get off of me Tristen" she yelled, trying her hardest to remove my heaviness from here. 

'Mate is a little crazy, but damn she drives me wild' Adriel drooled

'Do you ever shut up'

'You shut up' he said throwing up his mind block.

Calm down little mate, I thought loudly in my head. Willing her to hear my thoughts and stop struggling against me. The need to explain myself sitting on the tip of my tongue. Her body was still very much tense beneath mine, Her breath ragged from her earlier attempts to escape my grasp.  

"I didnt mean to run that far Jaela, Adriel was in control and he brought us here. He's been a handful as of late"

An unreadable emotion passed through her eyes, before they went cold with indifference.

 I looked away from her cold eyes, wishing she could have been a little happy to see me. One could hope right, I didnt deserve any warmth from her anyway. Not after the harm everything i've cause her. 

Taking a chance to see some feelings from her, I stared into her eyes. Hoping to see something, anything. I became lost in them, the smell of her scent, her naked body underneath mine. Without thinking I pressed my lips to hers. She was like stone, her mouth stayed still on mine. Her eyes gave her away, they stormed with unreadable emotion. 

Kissing her harder on her mouth, her body relaxed slightly beneath me, her hands timidly ran across my shoulder to my neck. Her fingertips grazing against my marking spot, it sent a spark of  explosive pleasure though my veins igniting a fire. I groaned loudly. 

Lightly my tongue licked the seam of her lips asking for permission, she refused. Running my large hands soothingly over her skin, igniting a burn within her. Squeezing her pert breasts firmly. She moaned onto my lips, I took the moment to push my tongue into her mouth meeting her in a slow dance. 

The feeling was unexplainable, How could I possibly live without this feeling forever. She can feel it too by the way her hands have molded to my skin leaving no space between us.

Her moans a sweet song to my ears driving me crazy. 

She became overwhelmed with need, her luscious lips were my erratic on mine. rough and sensual at the same time. Her sweet sounds propelling me to continue ravaging her. 

My member stiff between her thighs. My mouth trailed slowly down her her neck, nibbling, sucking, kissing. Animal instict is everything, the urge to sink my teeth into her perfect skin. marking her mine forever. Adriel lust and possesiveness mixing with mine, my canines grew as I reached her sweet spot, my fangs slowly breaking the soft skin of her neck. 

For a minute I thought I lost all conciousness, the force of her fist colliding into my head was so hard spots invaded my vision. Jaela pushed me off her forcefully as my head spun in confusion. 

"I dont know what you think this is Tristen, coming here turning me into a raging horny teenager over you. Trying to mark me after what you put me through over the last five years. It's not happening now or ever!!" She Spat, kicking me hard, she shifted into her wolf running full speed back the way she came. 

My thoughts rattled around in my head. Shaking off the pain. 

'why did you do that Adriel'

'If I leave everything to you, we would loose her'

Rubbing the side of my head.  'It's not up to you, you cant force your mark on her.'

'As i said before human, you wont make me loose her because you have this stupid notion to listen to father. She still loves us, that should mean something to you'

I'm not surprised to see Skylar lazily on the steps of the pack-house when I got back. Tossing a pair of sweatpants and a shirt to me as I approached him. Sliding the pants on i sat next to him throwing the shirt over my shoulder. 

"So how was your run?" Skylar asked

"Not bad, Adriel needed sometime, otherwise i'd tear Bree apart."

"Yea, you were pretty pissed off earlier" Sky chuckled. He leaned towards me, his smile grew on his face. Shaking my head I pushed him away from me, but didnt let anything slip.

"Let's get some food, I"d advise you to take a  long shower before though, I can smell her clear as day"

In my suite I rushed into the shower leaving the sweatpants in the middle of the floor. Turning the handles to the faucet on, steam engulfed the bathroom. Stepping into the shower my mind wondered to what happened in the woods. Remebering her scent around me, my member hardened instantly. Palming myself I stroked in a steady pace. 

Imaging her hands grazing my hard abs, her touch like gasoline to my fire i groaned. Stroking faster, Panting under the showers stream. Closing my eyes, feeling her kisses on my neck I shudder. Placing my hand on the shower wall to steady myself, loosing control shooting my seed onto the wall. "Damn" I panted heavily. wishing it could have been inside her instead. 

Washing my self clean, stepping out of the shower. I looked myself in the mirror, everything always leads back to her. and right now im in so much damn trouble.
