All Chapters of Her Carnal Desires: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

When I was fully dressed, I made quick use of the toilet, and wash my hands, brushed my teeth, rinsing with a small bottle of mouthwash I hadn't noticed earlier in the basket. I faced the door and had to give myself a stern pep talk before I could force my hand to grab the handle, turn it and stepped out, closing the door behind me.Leander was waiting. He sat in a large, comfortable looking chair, but my eyes zeroed in on the thing he held in his hand. It couldn't possibly be what I thought it was! He stood to his feet and crossed the room until he was standing right in front of me.I pointed and demanded, "What's that?""A collar," was his only reply."I can see that. Why are you holding it up in front of me with that dumbass look of expectation on your face?" I snapped."Because you're going to wear it." His tone didn't fluctuate. It was as if he was just stating some random fact like the sun is yellow.My heart pounded in my chest. The crazy Alpha had to be kidding."Oh, fuck no,

LEANDER'S POVAfter driving me crazy the night before, running her tiny fingertips all over my body and visually inspecting me, my little mouse had chosen to go the leash route. I expected that was going to be her answer, but had patiently waited for her to decide, enjoying watching her squirm. She hadn't been happy about it, but she hadn't fought me this time. Progress.When I'd emerged from the shower, I found her out like a light. I removed the leash and slid into the bed next to her. She didn't move the entire night, sleeping soundly, which I was glad for because she had a busy day today.It was 6:30AM. Dressed and ready to go, I waited on Hycinth who was in the bathroom...still working on her hair. When she'd asked earlier, I told her it looked fine. Apparently, fine was not the right answer because she'd disappeared again, leaving me to fidget.I looked at my watch. She needed to finish by 7AM when Ever arrived to watch over her, and then I could get started on the task at hand.

HycinthThe perky, blonde shewolf walked in like she owned the place, nose high in the air, ignoring me completely. And then suggested she put away my new clothing in drawers which she already knew were empty-how did she know that? Was she so familiar with every damned drawer in his closet that she knew what was, and wasn't, contained in each of them? The answer appeared to be yes.I fumed, both at her outright disrespect in ignoring me and her clear possessiveness over him. I had no right to feel that way, given my 100% intention of somehow escaping him, but at the moment, I couldn't tamp down my innate wolf tendencies. My Wolf was also feeling feral, a sustained growl churning through her chest.When the little bitch emerged from the closet, I stood to my feet. I wasn't going to have this conversation sitting down. She instantly focused on me for the first time. She tried to cover her obvious disdain with a fake smile, but her upper lip twitched like she was having a hard time keepi

I wasn't going to wait around or call her back to answer any more questions, but I needed to get answers somehow. And I certainly wasn't going to ask Leander. Abruptly, Ever was standing behind me. I turned to face him."So, are you done laughing at them?" His lips twitched.I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face. "How did you know?""You made quite an impression...by doing nothing at all. Well, you did giggle at the six most formidable shewolves in the Pack, so maybe that's something." He rubbed his chin. "After this morning, Leander was worried a fight was unavoidable. Once again, he was wrong about you."Ever's words surprise me. He almost sounded impressed."I know what I can do. I didn't feel the need to prove anything."He nodded and mused, "You're good for him," and then he added, "Never thought I'd say that."I didn't bother to analyze his words. "Where next?""First, the collar...and then my house."That damn collar. I narrowed my eyes.He tensed as he watched me

Ever just stood, staring at me silently, his expression a mixture of frustration and lost hope. Because he too knew the answer, she would never believe me. I said quietly, "You need to go home. It's been a week since Gwen finished her heat. She's going to need you tonight."Now his expression looked pained for an entirely different reason. His mate had finished her heat seven days ago, and within hours, he would either scent a pup in her belly, or she would begin the process of expelling the birthing byproduct no longer needed in the absence of a pup.He nodded, turned and left.I sank back down into the chair. After another moment, I finished my drink. I missed my little mouse. There was still some daylight left, and there was some place I wanted her to see."Where are we going?" She looked up at me curiously as we walked through the woods."A place of refuge and adventure I went to as a young pup.""Oh," she breathed and then lapsed into silence.After a moment, I asked, "Did you se
