THREE

KATIA HARRIS

  I nodded, and really wanted to, but I found I could not lift my arms. I felt spell bound by the emotions he was drawing from me. He brushed my hands aside and took off the rest of my blouse, then he stepped aside to look at me. A humiliating blush stung my cheeks as a light breeze wafted through the room, kissing naked flesh that should never even have been exposed in the first place, but what sealed my humiliation was the look Alpha Tyler had in his eyes when I looked into them. 

   His face remained as expressionless as before, but his lips were twisted into a full blown smile, with the light of mockery in his eyes. He looked like he had been testing me, and I had failed the test. 

   Tossing my blouse back to me, he walked over to stand by the window. “Why do you think I should let you join my pack Kara?” He asked coldly, leaning against the window. 

   I felt tears of humiliation burn against my eyelids, and a few of them spill over. I had just let him kiss me, touch me in the most intimate way, here I was burning for him, and he could not even remember my name. “I f . . feel – I think I would be valuable in the pack.” I finished pathetically. 

   Alpha Titan scoffed. “And what would make you valuable?” His eyes roamed over my still naked body. “Because there’s nothing special I see here – your just like any other whore I’ve fucked, and trust me, we don’t need more whores out here in Maroon fang.” 

    I swallowed my tears and turned to leave – this was the most useless decision I had made any way. I had only just gotten to the door when the Alpha called out. “I didn’t say you could leave yet.”  

   He had spoken in low tones, but the steel was there again, and there was no trace of amusement in his voice. I knew that I could get punished if I chose to disobey. When I turned around, he was seated once again. 

   “What’s the name of your pack? This pack you want to leave?” 

   I drew in a breath. “Purple Moon .” 

   “Purple Moon .” He repeated, and his face went stone cold. Suddenly, real fear cuddled in the pit of my stomach. I had heard of several of this Alpha’s battles, and that he had several enemies. What if my former pack was one of his enemy pack, what if he really thought that I had been sent to spy on him!  

   Without thinking, I turned and fled. I didn’t make it to the door before I felt the weight of his body slam against me, and then I was slammed against the wall. 

    There was pure fury in his stormy grey eyes now when he looked at me. “Katia Katia . . . you and I have a lot of things to talk about.” 

   “No – I – we do not . . .” I stuttered, still trying to free myself. 

   “Really?” He murmured. “You didn’t really get to tell me why you so graciously – decided to join my pack.” 

   I drew in a breath, wishing I had done my findings well before coming. What was the relationship between his pack and the pack I had fled? Would he still believe my story? I took in another shaky breath and decided to tell him the truth, and then face the consequences of my stupidity. 

   “I left my former pack because I got my heart broken by the male I thought was my future mate – I asked to join your pack for . . . for a fresh start.” 

   He stared at me a while, and then the anger left his eyes as a small smile curved at the corner of his mouth. Gently, yet purposefully, he drew me to himself, but when his lips claimed mine again, they weren’t gentle. 

    This time I let myself feel the headiness of the moment. This time, when his tongue plunged into my mouth, claiming it as his, marking it as his territory, I let myself feel everything I had tried to kill inside myself since Tyler’s betrayal. 

   He pulled his lips away from mine, and I missed him already. His grey eyes searched mine, a mischievous light dancing in them. “Take of your clothes Katia – trust me, you want this even more than I do.” 

   Even though his comment made me blush, I found myself taking off my clothes. My fingers trembled on the top of the buttons as I remembered when his own hand had unbuttoned them just recently.  

   It seemed to take a long while for me bring myself to take all my clothes off. My brain screamed at me, what was I really doing cheapening myself before this Alpha, but when he finally took me in his arms, I could only draw in a sigh of relief. 

    The Alpha needed no further prompting. His hands were all over me in an instant, his mouth; his lips tongue, teeth, all driving me insane. I felt like my body was on fire and only he could quench it, and yet each time he touched me, he only seemed to add to the flames. 

   With his left palm on one of my breast, and his mouth on the other one, he murmured something about how lovely I was, and then his hand trailed lower to find more sensitive flesh. 

    I remained deathly still as he pulled me closer into his arms – roughly, the fabrics of his own clothing pressing hard against my tender skin, and I wondered why he wouldn’t take them off himself. 

   He kissed me again,  and this time, I  tasted his need, hot and pulsing – and also anger I could still feel a deep anger directed against me because of my pack. Was he somehow seeking to punish me through the art of love making?  Then I could not think again. His lips plundered mine in a very different way than it had before.
