Levi's POV
“There!” Dina suddenly exclaimed, pulling me out of my thoughts. Carefully, I let go of the TV and, to my semi-surprise, it stayed in place.
“Thanks,” I muttered and pushed it against the wall. Dina grinned and, as on cue, misplaced her feet and almost fell off the chair. Automatically, I reached out and caught her, pulling her into me. A small gasp escaped her plum, red lips and her perfect green eyes met mine. My heart involuntarily skipped a beat and my wolf pushed forward, wanting to be close to her as well. Her body fit perfectly with mine, her smaller and softer features complimenting my hard ones. A rose-colored blush spread across her cheeks, and suddenly my mouth became dry.
Goddess, I wanted to kiss her so bad---
“Erm, that--- I-I’m---erm--- Yeah,” she stuttered, slowly pushing away from me. My wolf whined when she was no longer flushed against our body and, honestly, I felt c
Dian’s POVI needed to get myself a reality check!OK, the wet dreams, I got it. I mean, Alpha Stone was HOT and I wasn’t blind. Hell, I couldn’t think of one girl who wouldn’t find him attractive. And when I saw him holding that TV up with just one arm, flexing all his toned muscles... I was ready to drop! I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like, running my hands down that toned chest and feeling those abs under my fingers. He was definitely the type to be hard in all the right places...But then his phone rang and ruined the moment. Whoever the caller was, I guessed it had to be a she-wolf, considering the huge excitement pressing against his jeans. It stung my heart to think about him and another woman, but he was a free man - and I refused to listen in on the conversation, actively doing everything in my power NOT to hear it. But then my stupid wolf had to butt in and make me aware of
Dina's POVThe alpha didn’t stop until he was standing right in front of me. Power radiated from him, but it didn't feel suffocating or depressing. Instead, it felt like a caress against my skin and had my nerve endings coming to life. His eyes flickered between blue and gold as if he was fighting his wolf for control over something.I should be scared.I knew I should...So, why did I instead find that so incredibly on-turning?“I wouldn’t care about the car,” he growled low, his voice a cross between his own and that of his wolf. “As long as you’re alright, I don’t give a shit about the car. You understand?”I didn’t dare to speak; afraid that my voice would fail me. My heart felt like a sledgehammer against my chest.He---he cared more about me than his car?Now, to anyone else, this might seem like the most ordinary thing in the world.
Levi’s POVI groaned, rubbing the brim of my nose. Still no clue as to what those vampires wanted and no trace of Dylan. If he had placed my pack and innocent people in danger, it was my duty as alpha to protect them. Yet the only thing that ran through my mind over and over again was Dina’s shimmering eyes and bright smile when she laughed. Her flushed face and red lips had just been begging me to kiss them. Everything about her was alluring and enticed both me and my wolf.I still couldn't get over the fact that she'd been more worried about a stupid car than her own safety. But then again, remembering how fucking much Dylan loved his car, I suspected that there might be a story there that I didn't know. Anger and rage coursed through me so hot and bright, I had to practically flee from the house before I scared her with its intensity.If I ever saw Dylan again, I was going to kill him!“You alright?” Mi
Levi's POVLaurel’s sweet and seductive voice brought me out of my depressing thoughts. I eyed the girl standing in my office, as she closed the door behind her. She was a very pretty brunette, with a lot of make-up, and dressed in a school-girl outfit. It revealed her cleavage and midsection, so there was barely anything left for the imagination.I didn't mind - I was just surprised that NOW I realized how inappropriate that was for her age...“I missed you,” she murmured seductively, sliding over my lap so that she was saddling me. I inwardly sighed. I knew what she wanted, and I would admit: I was horny!I just recently found myself more in the mood for dark-haired hotheads...Her lips crashed onto mine and I let her kiss me. And I felt rather disappointed that the usual pang of desire - that before a certain maid showed up at my door - would have shot straight to my cock, didn't happen. Hell, I could be making
Levi's POVHer cheeks were once again bright pink, but even with the kitchen empty, she still wasn’t facing me. Her eyes were glued to the floor, seeming to try and look anywhere but at me. I let her have, whatever time she wanted. I didn’t mind just being with her. Alone. Her scent wrapped around us like a warm blanket and her wolf's aura - powerful, but submissive - was something my wolf very much enjoyed. Hell, if I could bottle the thing, I would be sleeping wrapped in nothing else.I just wished she wasn’t so uncomfortable…I didn't want her to fear me. I wanted her to---Finally, she looked up. Her cheeks were a flaming red color, which made her emerald green eyes stand out. Her dark, raven-black hair looked like silk, and I ached to find out if it felt as smooth as it looked. I wanted to let my fingers glide through the strands, wrap them in my hand and force her head back to kiss me. I---“I&r
Dina’s POVASK HIM!!!My wolf was furious. She was moping, growling, and huffing around like a first-class bitch. If I didn’t know any better I’d say she was jealous! But no way was I going to open that can of worms. I gritted my teeth and forced myself to keep my eyes on the scenery outside the window. The alpha was a free man. He could do whomever he wanted! I wasn’t bothered by him having dumped me at his house for several days so he could hook up with his fuck-dolls.Nope!Not bothered at all...Yet, the image of that she-wolf across his lap, made my heart clench and I felt like I was about to have a heart attack. He'd been ignoring me for days now and I'd been worried, wondering if it was something I'd done. Well, after today, the message was pretty clear:He wanted me out of the way so he could fuck around.A hurt part of me wanted to
Dina's POV“Did I cockblock you?” I asked, feeling a little bolder this time. Which again earned me another chuckle from the alpha.“No,” he answered with a shake of his head, just as uninterested as he looked. “I'm honestly tired of random hookups. I just---” He paused, glancing at me once before turning his gaze back to the road. “Want something else, I think.”“So, you haven’t---?” I asked, only to realize that I had no idea how to finish that question. I wanted to ask if he'd slept with her. But then he looked at me, with his eyebrows slightly raised in question and a smug sort of tilt of his lips, and I suddenly remembered who I was trying to question. Mentally, I pitched myself, hoping to wake up from this nightmare.Shit!What was I doing?!“I mean---I-I…!” I tried to explain, but with my heart stuck in my throat I f
Dina's POVI gulped before I slowly turned around to face him. He didn't necessarily look pissed, but the "seriously?"-glare I got, had my lip automatically on pout mode. Seeing it, his eyes momentarily flashed black, before they returned to normal, and he stalked over to me, like a hunter having locked on his prey.“I didn’t mean to say that out loud,” I excused myself, and despite the alpha towering above me, I wasn't afraid of him. Levi Stone would never hurt me. I knew that as surely as I knew the moon and the stars in the skies...“I’m gonna make you pay for that,” the alpha promised in a low, dangerous voice that sent shivers down my spine. Stupid alpha and his sexy voice!“You're not going to ask me to bake something are you?" I questioned while also teasing him a little bit. "I'd burn the house down.""I'm sure you would," he deadpanned, but the amused gleam in his eyes had turned t
Dina’s POVWaking up, it felt like someone had run me over with a semi-truck. Everything was hurting, my muscles were sore, and my throat felt like someone had tried to cleanse it with a steel brush.“She’s breathing on her own now,” I heard a woman say somewhere next to me. “It’s a good sign, Alpha.”Alpha? Levi was here?“Le---” I tried to call out to him, but my voice was hoarse and gruff. As if I’d spent all night screaming. And not in a good way! I had a metallic taste in my mouth and, for some reason, it felt like I had a ton of bricks on top of me, making it extremely difficult to breathe.I tried to open my eyes but was met with complete darkness.“Dina!” A dark, velvet voice sounded on my other side. It was a voice I recognized, no matter where I was.“Levi,” I sighed, feeling tears push against my ey
Levi's POVI roared, making it clear that she was currently insignificant to me.“They-they don’t want her dead,” she screamed, and finally her red swollen eyes met mine. “It-it was for you!”Shocked, I felt my anger dim.The poison was for me?!Why?Had I been the target all along?Had I been looking at this the wrong way the entire time?“They wanted to kill you," Angela continued to cry, as something that looked like regret and pain flashed across them. I just wasn't sure who those feelings were for. "They need her alive.”So, my mate was the target.But---?“WHY?”The question left my lips before I’d even managed to think. It didn't make any sense. Why would they target my mate? What was so special about her? Other than her being the most amazing person I'd ever had the great hono
Levi's POV“Alpha?”I jolted awake, feeling disoriented and confused for the first time in years. Since becoming alpha, I’d gotten into a state of mind, of never being completely unaware of what was going on around me. Even in my sleep, I was ready for an attack or emergency.But apparently, sitting by my sick mate and crying my heart out, tired me out more than I realized. It was like a dam with years of suppressed feelings, that just broke free and washed over me. Destroying everything inside me. But in a way that still felt good. Cleansing even. I was nothing but empty right now, but it wasn’t bad or lonely, because, at the bottom of it all, there was Dina. She was the first stone of my new foundation!But right now, everything was a blur and even my wolf was still asleep, standing on his legs. I turned around and came face to face with Mick--- way too close to my face!“Mick!” I exclaimed, trying to get him away from m
Levi’s POVI could feel her fighting through the bond. I felt her pain, although she seemed to be motionless on the bed. My wolf whined and paced nervously around, not knowing what to do. He could feel that his mate was in pain, but there was no enemy to fight. He wanted to protect her, but there was nothing he could do.Nothing I could do...And then he changed his mood to bloody murder. Whoever did this to our mate, was going to pay! And for once, I welcomed his murderous thirst for blood. I wanted it, craved it. His hunger fed my own and my anger fueled his rage.Someone was going to die...Someone would pay!“Alpha?”It was Mick calling me. I barely acknowledged him there. I didn’t dare to move much, not really knowing what I would do. What my wolf would do.What I would let him do…“I sent trackers to your house,” Mick continued, nonetheless. “We’ll get them.”He wa
Dina’s POVI skipped down the stairs, getting ready for breakfast, when I saw it.There was a package by the front door...I didn’t think much of it. It happened all the time. I even had a firm belief that the mailman was terrified of Levi, which was why any package delivered to this address was left by the door.Dogs and their postmen, I grinned. My wolf scoffed, feeling quite offended. I just had to remind her, that any offense to her had to go through me first. And apparently, that made her happy…I shook my head and took the package into the kitchen. I felt like walking on a cloud. I know you’re supposed to hate Monday mornings, but somehow--- No, I knew exactly why I couldn’t today...Yesterday had been amazing!Sunday with Levi’s family was something I definitely could get used to. Not to mention that Levi made very good of his promise to pay me back for tha
Dina's POV“Come in! Come in!” Sally ushered, pushing us ahead into the dining room. “Boys! Girls! Dinner is ready!”“Hey! Levi’s date is here!” I heard a girl call behind us. I spun around, noticing a short girl and a tall boy standing frozen on the steps. Both of them had pitch-black hair and, especially the boy, was the spitting image of Michael.“She’s real?!” the boy snapped, his large blue eyes shamelessly giving me one over. “Fuck, she’s hot.”Instantly a loud growl filled the room. I snapped my attention to Levi, whose eyes now were flickering between blue and gold. I sighed and my wolf mentally shook her head.Possessive alphas!As if we’d give a boy like that a second glance when we have a man like Levi…“Sorry, man!” the boy quickly submitted, exposing his neck. “I didn’t mean it like
Dina’s POV“Is it too late to run?” I asked nervously and Rita had to swat my hands away from my teeth again. She’d just finished doing my nails, but I was still itching to bite them.“Yes!” she exclaimed, pulling me out of the chair and to her closet. “Come on!”I was going to attend the infamous family dinner. According to Levi, it would be our first official date. I was very much against it, thinking it was too fast. And as always, Levi accommodated everything I said and agreed to take me out on a "real" date on Saturday first. However, we ended up spending most of Saturday morning, day, and night in bed ravishing each other, before settling for a movie and a terrible burnt frozen pizza.Yeah, I apparently could burn that too...Now I was a nervous wreck because I was with Rita getting ready. Mostly because I didn’t own a lot of clothes and make-up was a concept foreign to me
Levi’s POV“And still no idea how they got in?” I asked, blocking another hit from Mick.“No,” Mick said, who was also my sparring partner this morning. “The patrol was quiet all night, not a single---” I punched him in the gut, before throwing him on the floor. The mat absorbed most of the impact, but he still grunted in pain while he tried to get back up.I might just be holding a little less back than usual. Not only did he let me believe that he and Dina had a thing going on, but he also let me believe that I didn’t stand a chance with her. That she wouldn’t love me back. And my wolf was a little pissed about that.I couldn’t suppress a growl. All that time, trying to hold back and be the bigger person--- for nothing?!That didn’t sit right with us at all!“No breaches, until you called that attack in,” Mick huffed, as he got
Dina’s POV“WHAT?!” Rita shrieked once I told her the news.“Shh! Do you mind?” I hushed her, trying not to let the beaming smile on her face get to me. God, is that what I looked like when she and Michael got together? I rolled my eyes at her overflowing happiness, but it didn’t take long before a smile found its way to my lips as well. “It’s nothing big! I’m just going on a date with Levi.”OK, so I wasn’t telling her the entire spam of “the news”. As I said, I wanted to be fired for a while and date before everyone found out about me and Levi being mates. And perhaps getting used to the idea of becoming the Luna too. And to make matters worse, an alpha didn’t usually mark his mate until she/he had completed their Luna training. AND had the approving signature of the Council.So, we were doing things a bit backward…“With
