Savannah
I look at Jade, who is now quite involved with the guy she is dancing with. She’s definitely going to regret that in the morning. I laugh at her and take a sip of my drink.
I feel hands slip around my waist from behind, and I smile at the strange sensation that is now envelop
Nathan“Alright listen to me. You’ve got to stop all of this. I’m your Beta, and your best friend. You know I have your back and will follow any orders you give me, but I can’t just sit back and watch you self-destruct anymore.” Derek is giving me yet another fatherly talk in the back of the town car, on the way to our pack house.
SavannahWe’ve been at the bar for about an hour, the drinks flowing freely. It helps to be young and female in the city. Honestly, I’ve probably had one too many, and the crowded room is starting to spin in a way I can’t keep up with. Jade’s cheeks are flushed, and I know she must be just as drunk as I am. But my blurry eyes and foggy head still aren’t enough to stop thinking about Nathan. My head can’t keep up and all the sudden I’m outside, l
NathanI grab my clothes and throw them back on, ignoring Tiffani’s whines. I walk over to my closet, grab a plain T-shirt and throw it at her.“Get dressed, Tiffani, and get out,” I snarl at her.
Nathan“Michael, she’s a human. You can’t call me Alpha.” I mind-link him, so Savannah can’t hear me.“A human? I knew she smelt off,” He can’t contain his distaste, to which I let out a growl. “I apologize, sir. It won’t happen ag
SavannahI stand in complete disbelief. I cannot believe that not only is my boss standing in my living room, but he just fucking bit me. There is a look of terror on his face, and I am positive my own face looks equally terrified.“Please Savannah, I am so sorry.” Nathan puts h
Nathan“Derek. Wake up. Meet me in my office in thirty minutes. I’m on my way back to the pack house now. It’s urgent, and we need to talk.” I mind-link Derek after getting into the car with Michael and heading back from Savannah’s apartment.What the fuck did I just do?
Savannah“Savannah, get up. Your phone keeps going off.” I shove a pillow over my face to block out Jade’s shrill voice. It’s too early for this.“Ugh, why are you always waking me up Jade?” I yell out in frustration before finally opening my eyes.
SavannahMy intercom starts buzzing, and knowing it’s my father sends a wave of nerves through my stomach.“Do you want to come up dad?” I yell into it, hoping he can hear through the stupid thing.
Savannah“Good morning.” I stretch and feel Nathan shift away from me.“Good morning, baby,” he responds cheerfully, standing fr
Nathan“I don’t know why you didn’t just tell me Savannah.” I run my hand along her back with the washcloth as the water cascades down our bodies. “I’ll be here for you through anything. You know that, right?” Leaning down, I kiss her shoulder and she sighs and lets the water hit her face.
Savannah“Come on! Again!” Tobias shouts at me as I’m hunched over, panting heavily, with my hands on my knees. “Stand up Savannah! Hands on your knees is a sign of weakness!” His booming voice echoes throughout the gym and makes me jump.“
NathanI pull my dress pants back up and buckle them, as Savannah stands from the desk and tugs her skirt down. Latching my belt, I wink at her as she finger combs through her hair, smiling at me. I needed this.Weneeded this.
SavannahI roll over and snuggle into the warmth that has been radiating onto my back all night. Nathan tugs the blanket up and over us and pulls me in closer to him.“Mmm, do I really have to go to work this morning?”I link him as I press my forehead to his.
SavannahI’m staring into Nathan's eyes, but I’m looking at the most mesmerizing wolf. His fur is jet black, but in the light of the moon it has a silver sheen to it. He’s much larger than I expected him to be. When he was standing, his head came almost to my ribcage. I wonder if all werewolves are this big. His eyes are the same blue as when he's Nathan, but they appear more like crystals against the contrast of his fur.Torri let me know how to cut off the link with Nathan while he was shifting. She said it’s like closing a door in my head between u
NathanSavannah licks the fresh wound on my neck and I immediately feel like I’m whole again. I can’t remember the last time I felt complete. The rush of the mate bond pours through both of our bodies like the currents in a magnet. I prop myself up on my elbows and stare into her eyes, which for a second flash a golden hue. Mymate.Now in every sense of the wor
SavannahI stand against the brick of my apartment building, with my finger in my mouth, chewing away at what cuticle I still have left. I asked Nathan to wait inside and he didn’t object. I can’t believe I almost told him I love him. I know the bond is strong and I know exactly why I have these feelings, but I don’t want to move too fast. It’s the human in me, wanting to take things at a normal pace. I’m happy with how we are now.
NathanThis is not how I wanted to spend my afternoon, locked in an argument with my father. Yet here we are.“Son, I’m not going to explain myself to you. You’re not going to like what you find if you keep digging around in the past.” My father’
