Evander’s POV
October 10th, 2021I walked down the hall of the pack house and I saw him, pants down around his ankles, Marianna against the wall her legs around him. He was enjoying it. Maybe if I gave him a taste, he would look my way. But would I want to be pressed against a public hallway wall? Shouldn’t sex be private? I think when you love someone you wouldn’t want everyone to see them that way. I mean, I don’t want anyone to see Atlas’s bare ass like that. But I guess he doesn’t mind. I only looked for half a second and then I turned around and ran away. His bedroom was only a few doors down, why the hallway? I had to take the long way to the Alpha’s office. Dad asked me to bring files from home. Did Atlas know I was coming? Maybe he thought I would be jealous and throw a fit? I wouldn’t do that. Fran wasn’t jealous, so maybe he isn’t my mate. I think if he was my mate, I would have been jealous and wanted to claw her eyes out. But I’m just hurt. Hurt that he doesn’t sDexter’s POV (Yeah, the WOLF)Me- Fran baby, you okay?Fran- Yes dear. She is healed. Now I just have to convince her not to kill Evander.Me- Why does she want to kill my human and by extension me?Fran- You fuckers read her diary, to her parents!Me- Oh, she heard that?Fran- Yeah, we heard it. I’m keeping her knocked out until she calms down. Do you have any idea how powerful she is? Even without me.Me- What like she has special powers or something?Fran- No, dumbass. She is strong, like kill a full-grown wolf without me strong. She was born to a warrior, but she is an Alpha female one hundred and ten percent.Me- OH! So even if you tried to hold her back, she could do some damage to my human.Fran- Damage? She could kill you, your human, and half the pack before anyone could stop her. What the fuck were you thinking letting him read that?Me- Okay, I didn’t let him, I think it is important to remember we don’t have total control
Fran’s POV (WOLF Again.)Day of the StabbingMe- I got the blood to stop. I need you to rest so I can heal you.Marcella- Okay. I feel Evander.Me- Yeah, he and Dexter are going to help us heal.Marcella- That’s nice.She is asleep. I have a lot to do. I know my human wants pups. Honestly, I do too. I won’t tell her that ever! Pups mean I can’t come out. But pups are a sign of a successful mate bond.The Bitch stabbed us very close to our womb. I focus all my healing there to start.“I’m going to read your diary every day until you wake up.” Wesley’s voice rings through us.Fuck that dimwit.Marcella- I need to wake up.Fran- I just healed your womb. I need to heal the rest.Marcella- Everyone is going to know I had a crush on Atlas.Fran- Mom will put a stop to it.Marcella- Do you not remember the things I wrote in there?Fran- Mates shouldn’t have secrets.Marcella- Mom tried to stop them but
Evander’s POVMarcella is angry and has every right to be. I should have never read that diary. But had I not read it, I wouldn’t have understood why I am so important to her. I’m hers. The one person on this planet who belongs to her forever. She could have waited for a second chance, but who knows when that would happen. I know I have to gain her trust back and I am willing to do whatever I have to.“Evander,” My name is the first thing she says, and I can’t help but smile.“I’m here,” I take her hand.She opens her eyes; I smile at her and then I see stars. She punched me in the side of my head.Dexter- That hurt me.Me- WOW!Dexter- Don’t fight her. We would lose.“Marcella,” Martin calls at her.“Don’t neither you have a leg to stand on. Mother, you should have stopped him. You could have.” She is sitting up and I never thought I would see my mild, levelheaded mate lose it this way.I am honestly stunned, but turned on.
Marcella’s POV“So just stay calm and keep you close?” I smile as Evander, and I are cuddled back up in my hospital bed.“Yeah,” Evander smiles at me.We start kissing again. His hands go to my butt, his hands always go to my butt. What is his deal?Our bodies shift and he is on top of me, between my legs. My hands are under his shirt exploring his back. Damn, this boy is FINE. I can’t believe I ever looked twice at Atlas. I bring my hands to Evander’s chest and squeeze his pecks making him moan. He thrusts against me, and I gasp. I miss him inside of me.We are grinding into one another and kissing. He is holding my butt and moving against my center. It feels so good.“Marcella,” Evander moans.“Evander,” I return as he presses harder causing more friction.“Fuck,” Evander jumps off of me and runs to the bathroom.“Evander?” I ask, sitting up, catching my breathe.“Sorry, Dexter wanted to mark you and I well,” He smiles. “Let me clean up.”
Evander’s POV“Your sister is very protective of you,” I say to Wesley as we all walk away.“She always has been. She is a natural protector. Makes sense she is a Luna,” Wesley tells me.“What advice can you give me?” I ask.“I’m not helping you score with my sister,” Wesley tells me. Everyone laughs.“The mate bond will help me score. I’m talking about living with her. Dealing with her,” I clarify.“Hey, we should pack Marcella some of her things and take them to her,” Ki suggests.“Want to play video games while the girls pack shit?” Victor asks Wesley, Trent and I.“What about us?” Mark asks.“I figured you two would help with fashion choices,” Victor teases. Mark playfully punches him.“I have my game area set up for 6, you guys want in?” I say. “Ki can pack Marcella a bag.”“Yay!” Ki does a happy dance.We all start loudly making our way to my room when we start to hear the yelling.“Well, fuck,” Mark says. We all stop and wat
Evander’s POVIt’s Sunday morning and I’m comfortably cuddle next to my mate. She is sleeping. For the past four days she has been sleeping in a hospital bed mostly alone. I tried to hold her once while her parents slept. I got into bed with her and held her close. I slept so deeply I didn’t realize how late I slept. When Martin woke up he growled at me. “She’s my mate,” I told him not getting up, not moving from holding her. “She’s my daughter,” Martin snarled at me. “Dexter and I are helping her heal,” I told him. “I’m not in the mood boy, get out of her bed,” Martin was so angry I moved. Now, he can’t make me release her. She is in my arms, in our bed. The bed we made love for the first time. Love. I don’t have sex with Marcella. I mean I did. But know it’s love. I love making her squirm, I love the look on her face as she bounces on me, I love the sounds she makes when I tickle her, when I make love to her. I love the way she keep
Marcella’s POV“Okay, we have spa appointments at 1, so wardrobe first. Here,” Ki points to a black SUV.“Luna,” Caleb and Darrick are with us.“Where is Trent? I thought he was my personal guard?” I ask.“OH!” Ki looks surprised. “He had a job to do for Alpha today. Caleb is stepping in today.”“Happy to do it. Alpha only wants mated males guarding you,” Caleb tells me.“Oh,” I chuckle. “He is crazy.”“He will calm down once you are marked,” Darrick tells me.“You guys are going to give us room today, right?” Ki asks.“Just don’t ask us to carry bags,” Darrick looks at her.“Deal,” Ki smiles and sits back.We pull into a mall and Ki jumps from the car.“Have you ever shopped with Ki before?” Caleb asks me.“I do all my shopping online,” I tell him.“If you need out, or a break pull on your ponytail from behind and I’ll make an excuse to get you out of there,” Caleb tells me.“Come on, lots to do!” Ki pulls me to her.“
Evander’s POV“I love you,” I tell Marcella on Friday before she goes to school.“I love you,” she tells me back.We are all gushy and mushy and all the nasty annoying things that two people in love are. Even my mother, who was our biggest supporter, has turned on us.I smile, watching her walk off with our friends.“I’m going to be sick,” Martin says.“Yeah, you two are a little over the top,” My mom scolds me.“Sorry, but she deserves the mushy. After what I did, I will go over the top forever to make her dreams of matehood come true,” I smile.“How do you know so much about her dreams of matehood?” Abby asks me. I notice since her marking, she has been wearing lower cut tops. She is not unattractive for a she-wolf of her years, but exactly where does she get off lecturing me about being over the top?“He read her diary,” Jennifer tells everyone.“Yes, I did. I did it, I apologized for it and am using all my information to make sure she is h
