All Chapters of Outside The Pack (Mated To The Night Book 1): Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Dom waited until I finished my tirade, and then he asked, totally deadpan, “So, why do you think that is?”I paused. The question was so far out of left field that it actually gave me pause. “What the fuck, Dom?”“I’m just saying,” the smirk was back on his face, “that you’re doing this thing again. You only get this way about Bryn. It almost makes me wonder if you and her might be—”I pointed at him. “Don’t you dare fucking say—”“—mates.” Dom finished with a grin that was a mile wide.I groaned and shook my head. But the more I heard the word, the more I thought about it, the more right it felt. I couldn’t deny the way I reacted when I thought Bryn was at risk, and I certainly couldn’t ignore how recklessly I had behaved when she was threatened right in front of me.My wolf had completely taken over, something he had never done before. I couldn’t let that happen again. My immediate response was to assure everyone that I would keep myself in check, but a promise without taking action

I started to walk to the door, but Violet was already most of the way there.“Don’t worry. I’ll get it.” She walked to the door and pulled it open.“Hello, Violet.” It was Jasper’s voice. “Is Bryn awake?”Violet must have answered in the affirmative because he bounced into the kitchen, a bright smile on his face.“Hey, Jasper,” I said, smiling back. “Long time no see.”“Yeah, no kidding. It’s a huge relief to see you on your feet again.”I finished washing the mugs, and Jasper and I sat at the table to chat. It was the first time we’d had a conversation with just the two of us, but things weren’t awkward or stilted between us. Jasper could talk and talk like Tavi, but his ramblings were more chilled. He had a smooth voice, and it was nice to listen to.As he spoke to me, I tried to admire his lean, muscular frame, his soft, bronze hair, and his big, blue eyes. I knew I ought to be more attracted to him, but whenever I thought about getting closer to him or kissing him, my mind wandere

I had thought she would put up a fight—that she would yell at me for scaring Jasper off. I expected her to call me an asshole, the way she always did. I was ready to let her rip into me and get it all out of her system before I looked her in the eye and told her that she was mine, that she was always meant to be mine, and that I wanted her to stay with me. But I should have expected her to surprise me.She had come to me, her skirt lifting slightly in the cool breeze, making me harder than I’d ever known I could be in my jeans. She drew close to me, smelling delicious and warm and so, so perfect, and brought me down for a kiss.And the kiss was everything. The minute her lips touched mine, the breath left my lungs, my heart pounding loudly against the palm that she pressed there. Each beat was a single word—Mate. It echoed over and over in my head, through my blood, carried in every cell of my body. I pulled her against me, unwilling to let either of us breathe without the other.She

I called his name again, and his answering groan was a muffled vibration against my core. My heartbeat had grown so loud, so powerful, and it beat at a galloping pace. I felt the pulse of it in every inch of my body; that persistent beat and my own gasping moans were the only sounds I could hear.I writhed beneath the heated insistence of his tongue. I felt like I might die from the pressure that continued to mount inside me long before I felt the release. How was he so good. How did he know exactly what to do to make me feel even more deeply, more intensely?Finally, when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, my pulse filling my ears over the sound of my panting breaths, the pressure spilled over. I clenched my legs tight around his head, my toes curling, back arching off the bed. Pleasure gushed from my core, and I screamed. The delicious, crackling climax crashed over me. Wave after wave of hot, wonderful bliss rippled across my body, leaving me tense, immobile, and covered in sweat.

My wolf, who had been purring and sighing contentedly since last night, suddenly jumped at the thought that she would reject us. I didn’t like the thought any more than he did, but I needed to consider the facts. The moment I bit her, our souls would be bound for eternity. At least, that was the way it worked with wolves. Now, because Bryn was human, I wasn’t sure the same rules applied. I would need to check with the Elders and ask for guidance.Until I was sure she understood what a claiming bite meant, I wouldn’t do it. It wouldn’t be right for me to do something like that when she still didn’t know the truth about me. She had no idea that I shared blood with the Redwolf monster who wanted to abuse her. How would she react when she found out that I was the son of the Alpha who had let her live in misery and half-brother to the wolf who tried to rape her and keep her as a slave after years of tormenting her?I knew it was selfish to keep that truth from her, but I was terrified that
