Izzy’s stomach grumbles as she scours her eyes around the place. It is grand and elegant, with sparkling chandeliers and plush velvet chairs. She can’t believe that Carter took her to a five-star restaurant for their first date. And it’s even in a different town!“Next time, can we have dinner somewhere nearby?”“You didn’t enjoy the ride here?” he asks. “Maybe I should pilot the chopper next time?”That’s not the point! She’d like to tell him, but then a waitress approaches, and she can’t help but notice how Carter seems completely at home in the fancy setting. He even flashes the waitress an easy smile.“So, what’s the cuisine of the day?” he asks, his tone smooth and charming, as if he just didn’t show Izzy that pained look earlier. It is the reason why she agreed to a dinner date with him. It is a token of apology for being mean to him.As the waitress starts to recommend dishes that she is not familiar with, Izzy’s attention goes to how Carter carries himself outside. He’s already

Izzy gulps nervously as the limousine comes to a stop. She can feel the tension rising as she and Carter alight from the luxurious vehicle.“Where are we?” she asks, craning her neck to look at their surroundings.Carter takes a hold of her hand and pulls her along with him. “It’s a surprise,” he says with a grin.They walk along the path, their footsteps clinking against the gravel. She feels the butterflies in her stomach as they stop in front of a building — a hotel that looks like a mansion.Once inside the building, Izzy is taken aback by its opulence. The floors glisten under the soft lighting, and the walls are adorned with expensive art pieces.“Whoa,” she mutters under her breath, feeling like she doesn’t belong in such a grand place.Carter chuckles beside her. “Impressed?”“I don’t know,” she says, looking around. There are no ushers, and after the employees greet them, they go about their own way. “The service doesn’t seem to be good. No one is guiding us.”“Why would they?

Izzy’s lips tremble as she looks at him. She can feel it, her body is throbbing with desire for him. The mate bond is making her heart race and yet, her mind is telling her that this guy is a jerk, and it’s better to steer clear of him.“Izzy,” he whispers again. “Just tell me what you want and I will make it happen.”Her eyes peer into his eyes. Desire. No, not just the mate bond. It’s him. He’s attractive and his scent is making her heady. She groans. No! It’s just the mate bond acting up again!When he moves closer again, she hits the wall. Their bodies are almost touching now. The heat between them is palpable and she can feel the pull of the mate bond throbbing in sync with her heartbeat.“Should we go outside and swim?” she asks, trying to evade the combustion that’s about to happen.“Don’t be shy,” he says with a smirk, his eyes still locked on hers. “I’ve told you. Just tell me what you want me to do.”She swallows hard. He clearly knows what she wants! Especially with this mat

“Let them watch,” Carter murmurs, his gaze never leaving hers. Beneath the water, his hand shifts to rest on her waist, pulling her ever so slightly closer.“Carter,” she warns, yet it is not much more than a whisper. A part of her wants to pull away, to preserve the fragile neutrality of their relationship — but another part, the one connected to the mate bond, urges her to lean in.“You worry too much,” he tells her, tracing his thumb gently along the curve of her cheek. “They are used to this. You’ll see, once we start, they are going to leave this place.”Izzy swallows hard. She’s aware that she’s treading dangerous waters. Yet, being with Carter is exhilarating. His touch is a different type of fire.“I haven’t selected yet,” she says, struggling to keep her voice steady as he gazes at her face.“No problem at all. You just need to reject the mate bond with the others. That will solve all your problems with having three mates.”Suddenly, his lips go to her neck and despite herself

Suddenly, Izzy pulls back from his hold. Her face is burning as she gazes at his confused face. ‘Damnit Aria... You should have stressed out the warning about how good he is with a woman’s body!’ Izzy thinks. His presence is intoxicating, his scent is making her dizzy and lightheaded.She looks around, like what he said, the employees are nowhere to be found. She wonders when did they start leaving?“Izzy?” Carter asks.“You said there is no penetration,” she whispers. “This ain’t right…”“What’s not right about it? You’re my mate and we both desire each other. It’s only natural,” he argues, his voice low and seductive.She purses her lips as she gazes into his eyes. She tries to fight the pull towards him. But it feels like he is a predator, and she is the prey.“It’s not natural,” she counters, taking a step back. “Not for me.”She takes a deep breath, breathing deeply as the cool water calms her heated skin. She needs to get away from Carter before things escalate further.Carter i

“So, what should we do today?” Carter asks, moving closer to Izzy until they are only inches apart.“Work,” she answers.“How about we take a walk in the forest? I know this beautiful spot by the lake.”“Work,” she repeats as she gets up from the bed and starts preparing.“It has a villa as well. It’s even more luxurious than Alpha Landon’s house.”She raises her eyebrows at him. “Stop inviting me to your house, Carter.”“Nothing to lose if I try,” he says, grinning. “So? Where to?”“I have work, Carter,” she repeats.Carter sits on the couch as she prepares for the day. “Can I join you in the bath instead?”She rolls her eyes at him. “Or maybe you can leave me alone today? Maybe return by next week? Or better yet, reject the mate bond?”“Hmmm,” he mumbles. “You’re like a dried prune already. We have a mate bond, so you should feel desire for me. In fact, even without the mate bond, women feel desire for me.”“What the heck does dried prune mean? Is that your attempt to make a joke?”“

Izzy quickly throws on a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt before joining Carter in the living room. He is leaning against the wall, his arms crossed over his chest as he waits for her. As soon as she enters, his eyes immediately roam over her body, causing heat to spread through her facee.“Ready?” he asks, holding out his hand.She hesitates for a moment before taking it. She can’t deny that Carter is drawing her in, and her brain is nonstop sending her warning messages. Her heart is body is sending the opposite message though.They make their way to a small local restaurant that serves some of the best seafood in town. As they sit down at their table, Izzy can’t help but feel slightly nervous. Thankfully, though, the restaurant looks ordinary.It also helps that Carter start talking to her about the pack, some of his missions, and his family, who've never really been present in his life.Soon, Izzy finds herself being comfortable. There is a certain quality in his voice, the w

Izzy nods, feeling her cheeks redden even further as she realizes that she actually wants for them to take this a step further. She looks up at Carter, but suddenly, she gasps when he carries her in his strong arms instead. He walks to her bed as she wraps her arms around his neck. Once inside her room, Carter gently places Izzy on top of her bed. She can’t help but feel a flutter in her stomach as he hovers on top of her. “Are you sure about this, Izzy?” he asks softly, his gray eyes searching hers for any sign of hesitation. “Yes,” she answers, nodding. “I want this.” A soft smile spreads across Carter’s face as he leans down to capture her lips in a heated kiss. Their mouths move in sync as their bodies press closer together once again. But this time, it’s different. It’s not a kiss with hunger anymore; it’s filled with care and sweetness. And before Izzy realizes it, she has spread her legs, so that Carter is between her, ready to take her whenever they are ready. He groans a

As promised, Miles did arrive in her room after two hours. They walk for over half an hour until they reach a house that is located on the outskirts of the pack territory. Izzy has never seen this house before and it looks like it hasn’t been lived in for quite some time.“What is this place?” she asks, looking at Miles with confusion.Miles unlocks the door and holds it open for Izzy to enter. “This used to be the residence of our previous beta,” he explains as they step inside. “It was given to me when I become the new beta.”The house is not big but cozy, with a living room, kitchen and two bedrooms. The furniture is old but well-maintained and there are still some personal belongings left behind.“This could be your temporary place to stay while we figure out what to do about your living situation,” Miles says, gesturing around the house. “Besides, this place cannot hold four people, anyway.”She frowns at him. “I’m going to live here alone?”

She gasps at it, seeing that he doesn’t plan to take things slow this time.“Wait, alpha…” she tries to speak in between deep breaths.“Landon… I want you to call me Landon.”Izzy takes a moment to catch her breath before speaking again. “My clothes…”“I prepared a lot more, don’t you worry,” he reassures her. “I can rip one or two.”“You buy clothes just so you can rip them off?!”He pauses from kissing her and chuckles. “Tell me what you want, then. What manner do you want to make love?”“I… I don’t know,” she starts. “I just want you.”“Slower or not?”“Maybe slower,” she answers. “We ha

It must definitely be because he is both her Alpha and her mate!She takes a deep breath as she closes her eyes. This is bad. Really, really, a million times bad! She’s already decided. She won’t have a mate and she won’t be his Luna! No matter how good he feels in her mouth."Hey," Landon's deep voice startles her, his hand gently brushing a stray lock of hair away from her face.
