Alisha's POV This was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. I never thought he would just show up here like this but it is nice to see him . Around here a smiling friendly face was a very welcome sight and just looking at that big shit eating grin on his face warmed a special spot in my heart. I suddenly don't feel so alone anymore, not that Bianca wasn't a friend but with him here I felt like I had a real ally in the middle of this shit storm of an pack.A part of me knew he would support and protect me if I needed him to. Not that I can't handle myself, but I like the thought of a backup if needed. Bianca came from an pack where the females were not trained in any sort of self defense, in fact that seemed to be the case in most of the packs here in Spain. Females were delicate creatures who needed to be protected. My mom grew up in an pack like that in the States, except none of the members could protect themselves or others. They are all dead now because of that inability to defen
Alisha's POV My mind just froze up and I was for once in my life at a loss for words, something that didn't happen very much with my smart ass mouth. Bianca had that deer in the headlight look and Alvan just stood there saying nothing. I guess I wasn't the only one surprised when she came up behind us, damn if I had my wolf present she wouldn't have been able to pull that shit on me."I'm waiting" Her stern voice burning in my brain was the kicker I needed to get the ole brain working again. I wonder how much she had seen or heard before we noticed her there."He was inquiring if we had any rooms and I was just getting ready to look to see what was available. " I used my professional voice and yes I have a professional work tone believe it or not. She didn't say anything back to me so I continue to go with the story I just started. Turning back to my computer and facing him." So sir , we do have a room available for you. How many nights were you planning on staying with us." Alvan r
Alisha's POV Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom I'm trying to focus on getting the loose hair back up into the bun high on my head. Thank god I wasn't wearing any make up because there was no way I could have repaired that as easily here in Alvan's bathroom. After I finished getting it in place , I gave myself the once over again in the mirror before leaving the bathroom. Not too bad if I say so myself, no way to tell by looking at me what we had just been up to a few minutes ago. My clothes don't look too wrinkled and I smooth them down one last time as I walk.I really needed that and I will say it again, that man has serious skills. He didn't waste any time attacking my body , his lips and hands everywhere lighting my body on fire with his touch. We didn't even bother with removing much of our clothing either. That man answered my question without words , actions do speak louder than words and his actions were making me scream out . I'm just glad the rooms next to his
Alisha's POV There is nothing like the feeling of being hauled into your bosses office because of some bullshit for a sit down. But the truth be known I'm not even nervous about it, more pissed off then anything. I really hate this kind of drama reminds me of grade school bullies. These bullies can't do anything to me really, I'm an temporary pack member just for this internship. I'm not even getting paid for this bullshit and if I had been, it wouldn't have been enough. The worse they can do is tell me to leave and I fail my internship part of my class. The joke is on them because I don't plan to stay to the end anyway, just long enough to help Bianca. The minute we do and get that sorted, I'm history here. I don't plan on letting the door hit me in the ass on the way , that's the last thing on me this place and pack will see. Blowing out of here and hopefully it will be sooner than later, because right now I have a ride with Alvan. Plus if any trouble comes my way I can't handle o
Alisha's POV With Bianca's help I was able to get a message to Alvan about my change of station in the hotel, also that I couldn't risk sneaking off to meet up with him anytime soon. Technically I was ordered not to have any contact with the "humans" but she wasn't so there was a loophole that I was able to use. I asked him to not leave right away either if at all possible, there could still be the need of a fast get away if things go south . Around here anything could happen with any minor infraction and the threat of physical punishment was still floating around my brain. I don't know what kind of crimes here would make that become a reality but I feel like I just barely missed out on it once. I'm not taking that chance again. Bianca was just as surprised to hear about that too, according to her NONE of the other packs here in Spain ever did anything like that to members. I have no clue about back in the States and plan to ask my mom when I finally get to call her. It ended up m
Alisha's POV Oh my gosh, this dress fits closer then my own skin. It's so tight on my body that it rides up my hips with each step I take. I'm going to be pulling and tugging on it all day long just to keep it in place. As I look in the mirror I can't help but frown, my nipples are almost showing this dress is so low cut and every arm movement I make threatens to have my breasts spill out. I just want to rip it off and burn it. Sure most wolves have no issue with nudity when shifting but this dress is made to inflame a males desires. Shifting nudity normally doesn't get you horny and worked up, it's just a naked body. This outfit's purpose is to put on a show making me feel like a stripper just waiting for the music to start. Teasing with the body to excite and turn on someone sexually , it's not exciting me but then it's not supposed to. It's all for a males pleasure and unlike the stripper I'm not even getting paid for this shit.Bianca is having some of the same issues as me, he
Alisha's POV The clock on the computer reads five thirty and I can't believe how quickly the day flew by. Once I got going everything I've learned in school came into play, this is what I've been working towards as a career and the real reason I'm here. I finally get to be an intern like I'm supposed to be, if my days are going to be like this I don't mind staying until the end and completing my studies. Things just got a little brighter around here, even without any windows.The day was uneventful as a very few people even bother to come in to the office . Just a handful and they totally ignored me choosing to speak with Saphria only. She is the secretary after all and would be able to answer the questions they had. It didn't hurt my feelings one little bit, the less interaction the better . At lunchtime food was delivered up from the kitchens,there was so much that it was shocking and that's a perk for sure. I was happy to stay in this little space and keep my exposure to others li
Alisha's POVIt hit me like a ton of bricks and my brain was firing now on all the things I overlooked , how could I have missed it earlier with the way those two seemed to just be pulled together. The innocent touches to the shared looks and tied all together with the private conversations. It was like I wasn't in the room most of the day now that I think back on it. The two of them were glued at the hip whenever I looked over to Bianca's desk. She didn't act like that with me and Bianca never seemed to be like that with anyone else that I had ever noticed in the past. It had to be true."She's your mate and I'd bet money on it ." Bianca looks uncertain at my outburst . "You feel the pull don't you?""I'm not sure what I feel." Her voice relays her doubts about my belief " It may be just because she is so friendly and nothing more.""No , I think it's more than that. Have you ever felt like this with anyone else here?" She frowns slightly as she thinks about what I said. "No I ha
Alisha's POV "Are you going to get up" I poked Lucien's arm hard with my fingernail, yeah I know it hurts but it works so well."Ouch, I'm going to have scars on my arms from you doing that. " He complains with a whine, pulling the blanket up to his shoulder. " I wasn't planning on getting up , it's Sunday and we can sleep in. Go back to sleep""I'm not tired anymore and since I'm up you have to be too. " I attempt to pull the blanket covering his arm back down , it wasn't going to move with his tight grip on it no matter how I tugged on it."Stop that" he growled out at me in a playful tone"What if I don't" I shot right back at him , tugging even harder on the blanket now. "Last warning" was his replyThis was going to be fun and I knew it, there was no way I was going to let it go now. Using two hands now I threw all my weight behind it and pulled hard. He let go of the blanket at that moment and I flew off the bed onto the floor. I landed on the thick rug next to it with the bla
Alisha's POV The heat between our bodies was intense, nothing I have ever felt before in my life had even came close. It felt as if my clothes would melt off. Hot damn this man can kiss and when his tongue slipped into my mouth it was all over. I was ready and willing to go for it right here in his office. I don't give two shits about any rules anymore and the only thing I was interested in was finishing what we started last night. There was no stopping us now.I was so unaware of my actions I didn't even realize we had moved until we were on the couch that was tucked in the corner of his office. My body and his moved on autopilot now, eager to explore each other and fulfill this burning need deep inside. I was on fire and he was the only thing that could put it out.His body was pressed down on mine as we let our passion free. Hands roaming greedily over each other , touching and exploring intimate places. Moans echoed in my ears as the excitement built. I didn't think about what I
Alisha's POV Mom wasted no time dragging my ass down the hall, pulling on my wrist like a child in deep trouble. I guess that isn't too far from the truth right now. Except I'm an adult now and have been living on my own since I was eighteen. I didn't want to be treated like this.I dug my heels in and stopped dead in my tracks. One hand holding on tightly to the towel wrapped around my body as I tugged hard to free my trapped one. "Mom stop, quit pulling on me like this. I can keep up with you just fine. " This wasn't effective as she paid no attention to what I was saying and kept tugging on me hard. "I'm not a small child and don't want to be treated like one""Let's go" her voice was firm and I knew she was still pissed off about everything. Her fingers dug in even harder as she attempted to get me moving again. "Act like a child and get treated like a child"How was I acting like a child, because the way I see it my actions were pure adult until she blasted into the situation.
Alisha's POV His eyes were fixed on mine, watching me with the intensity of a predator . The normal naturally dark brown eyes were darker now and the whites were barely visible. The emotions he felt at this moment were raw and open , he wanted me and he wanted me really bad. That seemed to trigger a response from deep down inside of me, a need that I have never felt so strongly filled my mind. I wanted him too. Any thoughts of rules were driven from my mind at that moment. Fuck the rules I wanted my mate and my primal instincts weren't going to be denied. This was more than just lust, it went way deeper than that.Moving slowly towards the large hot tub of water I began to peel off my shirt, dropping it at my feet carelessly as I stepped forward. My eyes never leaving him, my desire for him leading my actions as I had his total focus. He knew I wanted him just as badly as he wanted me. Stepping out of my shorts , kicking my feet free they were quickly left on the floor the same as
Alisha's POV Lucien insisted that I shift back into my wolf form before his guards arrived, it went without saying that he didn't want them to see my naked body. Usually something like that would set me off, I don't like anyone trying to dictate what I should and shouldn't do. But this time I didn't argue with him, he had just killed four male rogues to keep me safe. He was ruthless in his attack and I just stood there watching as he tore them apart with ease. I was so impressed he could ask me anything right now and I'd do it without arguing. It didn't even bother me he killed four men, of course they were in wolf form and didn't look like men. Maybe if they had been in human form it would have bothered me , but right now I didn't give two shits about them. They wanted me dead and now they are. Reluctantly I pulled out of Lucien's embrace and shifted back into my wolf form. He stood naked in front of me without a hint of modesty. Nudity wasn't an issue with these people that was
Lucien's POV Alisha followed behind me as I led the way outside, neither of us speaking but true to her promise she stayed within the required distance but no closer. Once we got to the changing rooms she moved quickly to enter inside , once we were in wolf form the chance to speak was gone. I couldn't let that happen, there was so much between us that needed to be said and ignoring it was just going to damage any progress."Alisha, could you wait a minute please." She stopped dead in her tracks at my words, I could see her back stiffen. "Could you please face me, I have something to say. " that was a rule after all.She hesitated at first but did as I asked, her eyes focused on my face and for a moment I was lost in those eyes. Those emerald green eyes seemed to peer into my soul , making me forget what I was going to say. I began stepping closer to her automatically , not even aware I was doing so until she put her arm up to stop my forward movement. "What did you need Lucien"
Alisha's POV Does he want me or not?"It's wouldn't be fair to my daughter to be left in limbo waiting for your decision. " Dad's expression not changing. "You can't expect her to put her life on hold until you make up your mind. I need a better answer than that.""I understand that sir but it's not that easy a decision to make right now." Lucien is right, this isn't a easy decision not with the shit storm I've created around here, he had a hand in part of that too. "I know the two of you started out with a lot of issues but my wife and I think this is something that can be worked through . But it would take a commitment from the both of you to do this." Mom nods her head in agreement with him.Lucien turns his head and looks at me, the first time since we first came in the room. His eyes meeting mine again and I can't read his expression. His dark brown eyes stare into mine with intensity."What do you want Alisha? This isn't all on me, you have a choice in this matter too. Do you
Alisha's POV Why did I agree to do this?Oh that's right my Mom didn't give me a choice.My shoes made a small click each time the heels made contact with the hardwood floors with every step. The sound echoed in my ears and I chose to focus on it instead of the drama I knew was ahead of me. Trust me there is drama coming and everyone involved knew that. None of us where going blindly into this but I know it was set up with good intentions in mind. My parents wanted me to be happy and felt this was the right path leading to it. The fact Lucien went along with it was surprising, but I'm guessing he must have figured it was going to happen sooner or later. Bite the bullet and get over it kind of thing. We are going to be in his pack for who knows how long and it was unavoidable in the long run. He couldn't hide forever in his office and I couldn't in my room. We wouldn't be able to avoid each other the entire time. Maybe after tonight we can tolerate being around each other at times,
Alisha's POV Being the good daughter I am, at least most of the time, I did as I was told sort of. I really just wanted to hide my head under the covers and wish this whole mess away, but that wasn't going to happen. The "rest" I was ordered to do ended up me just lying on the bed staring at the ceiling contemplating my life's choices up to this point again. Something that I have been doing a lot recently, still no magic answer was found as to the why me question. My pity party ended when a soft knock sounded on my locked door. "Time to get up sweetie, I will be back in an hour to help do your hair. I have the cutest outfit for you to wear too." I could tell she was excited and I half wondered what kind of cute outfit she had picked out. Her definition of cute and mine were totally on opposite sides of the country. I chuckled to myself as I thought of some of the outfits my sister and I were forced to wear growing up. I have never been the frilly girl but knew how to put an outfit t
