Chapter 11

Blossom POV"Blossom, this is Liza. Liza, this is Blossom," Dean quickly interjected. He seemed uneasy, as though he knew what was coming next but had no way to avoid it."I'm Patrick's mistress," Liza said directly to me, and then another sinister smile."WAS, my mistress," Dean said hotly. "As in past tense."I felt like tearing up. Past tense or present tense, Dean just admitted to sleeping with this woman. And, he said it so matter-of-factly, as though he had just admitted to being late to dinner.So, my new mate had a mistress? Diana had never told me to expect anything like this. I wanted to run away, somewhere, anywhere. Maybe bury my head in a pillow and cry for a few hours.But somehow I managed to stand my ground, drawing again on the inner strength that had gotten me through the earlier part of the day. There were times I surprised myself at how well I could fight the urge to just melt away in despair. Perhaps I had my uncle to thank for something after all. All those forma

Chapter 12

Blossom POV.I was starting to grow weary of the rollercoaster my feelings had been on all day. I was still fuming over finding out Dean had a mistress in the house when I suddenly found myself in his arms—and completely loving how it felt. If only Liza hadn't been there when we arrived, I could let myself become fully immersed in the captivating feeling that overtook me when he held me.No doubt being that close to him, my senses were overcome with his scent. Something about it stirred feelings deep inside of me. It made me feel as though there was something special about Dean, and that my body would not react that way with any other male. While I did not know that to be true, something in my heart made me want to believe it was so.Dean's scent made me feel anxious and excited, but very much in a good way. I was starting to love the feeling so much, my heart would race when he approached, just in anticipation of the feeling. This was nothing like Diana had ever been able to describe

Chapter 13

Blossom POV.Dean finishes showing me around the suite before leading me back to our bedroom. He drops my hand and walks to the other side of the room, and I can't help but wonder what he thinks of our home. His expression is hard to read, just as mine must be for him.I take a closer look at my surroundings and notice that our bedroom is so spacious that it includes a second, private living area complete with a daybed, a loveseat, and matching velvet-covered chairs. The furniture is heavy and ornate, with colors and fabrics that feel incredibly sensual. For a moment, my thoughts wander to the idea of lying with Dean on the daybed, running my fingers through his hair, and nuzzling against his neck just to feel the rise and fall of his chest. I picture him turning to me, taking me right there without the need to move to the bed.Suddenly, I'm jolted back to reality by Dean's voice. It seems he's been talking to me, but I hadn't realized it. I start to methodically sort through my thing

Chapter 14

Blossom POV.I wished I could find better words to express everything swirling inside me. I needed Dean to understand how I felt, yet I didn't want to come across as a whiny, spoiled girl. At the same time, starting my marriage by allowing myself to be used or disrespected felt utterly unacceptable."I didn't expect to face more crowds, more questions, and more disapproving stares. I had hoped for a quiet evening," I said, my voice trembling. "It's all just been so overwhelming. I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I don't think I can handle all the inevitable comments and prying questions."Dean listened intently, and I could tell he was beginning to understand my feelings almost as if they were his own. Could it be that he was already connecting with me on such a deep level? He seemed to grasp the turmoil I was experiencing.I knew I wasn't wrong to anticipate unwanted remarks and questions that would best remain unspoken. The truth was, Eliza was so cherished and admired for her be

Chapter 15

Blossom POV. Just as quickly, I had scolded myself for those thoughts. I had assured myself I would remain devoted to my love, Eliza, and banished images of Dean. But despite my efforts, thoughts of him kept slipping back into my mind, suggesting this was more than mere lust.I felt Dean mark me, sending a thrilling shiver down my spine. I was truly to be his mate; there was no turning back once I bore his mark. I sensed his hand travel down my neck to my shoulder blades and then to the small of my back as he pulled me closer, leaning in ever so often to let me feel the intensity of his growing passion.My body responded to him as he lightly traced the tip of his tongue across my skin. When he finally reached my mouth, he kissed me hard. I felt his tongue, his teeth, and the roughness of his beard. Although he held me gently, careful not to bruise me, there were moments I struggled to catch my breath. As he kissed me fiercely, his tongue parted my lips, and I pressed my mouth against

Chapter 16

Blossom POV.Here I was again, noticing Diana's presence. She was leading me back toward the suite's entrance when she paused at the door. I could sense that I had one more venomous remark brewing inside me. If I dared to unleash it, I would never know, for she swiftly pushed me through the entryway before I could say a word....With Diana gone, at least for now, I locked the door behind her. I assumed that Dean still had the key from earlier, when he showed me around the villa. If he didn't, he would simply have to wait because my heart was set on enjoying a long, luxurious bath. I filled the tub with water and headed to the closet to find something nice to wear afterward. Although I had planned to stand my ground regarding the dinner party, if I had to attend, I wanted to look presentable. If Dean agreed that my presence wasn't necessary, I would at least be fresh for the evening.I returned to the bathroom and tested the water, ensuring it was at the perfect temperature. It had

Chapter 17

Blossom POV"You'll be all right, Blossom. I will always protect you. But remember, you are stronger than you think, I promise. You don't need to worry about anyone trying to shame you. You are the mate of the alpha, and everyone will see that," Dean assured me.I noticed the distant demeanor he'd held onto was beginning to melt away. Looking into his eyes, I let him pull me close to his chest once more. I felt him gently caress my hair, then rest his face atop my head, taking a deep breath of my she-werewolf scent.Dean lovingly lifted my face away from his chest to meet his gaze. He leaned down, lips poised to touch mine, but suddenly, a loud knock at the door shattered the moment."Brother! It's time to go! Save the merrymaking with your mate for later!" Caleb's easy laugh echoed from outside."Come," Dean said gently. "We must go. We'll finish this later." He gave me a slight smile before leading me to the door.Dean took my hand, guiding me through the large crowd assembled for t

Chapter 18

Blossom POVI had been pleasantly surprised that we made it this far into the evening without any major confrontations. I was aware of some sarcastic remarks made under guests' breaths upon meeting me—occasional mentions that no one could ever fill Eliza's shoes because she was, apparently, flawless.But my relief was short-lived. All I wanted was to sit down for dinner and retreat to our suite. I was exhausted from forcing a smile and extending graciousness to those who treated me so coldly. Dean, who had likely been reminded of Eliza a few too many times, had remained rather indifferent to me throughout the evening, stirring an unsettling ache in the pit of my stomach. I yearned for the moment we could finally sit at the table together—Caleb was already waving us over.Instead, I found myself facing this furious young woman hurling insults at me. Her assertion that I was unworthy dredged up all the fears and anxieties I had experienced while living with my uncle. He consistently bel

Chapter 19

Dean POV"Fina, you know I see you as family. If I didn't feel that way, I wouldn't have invited you this evening. Of course, you had the choice not to accept the invitation. But now that you're here, I hope you'll show me a measure of respect. I also ask that you extend that same respect to Blossom. Let me remind you that I am the alpha, and Blossom is my mate. As the alpha, I couldn't move forward alone. I had to make a choice, and she is the one I chose."At that moment, Caleb had left his seat at the table and made his way across the room to where I, Blossom, and Fina stood. He swiftly took Blossom's arm and led her away to her seat at the head table as dinner began, wanting to remove her from the confrontation and leave it for me to handle. Blossoming under pressure, she had already endured enough.I felt an overwhelming sense of relief when I saw Caleb striding quickly in our direction. I always counted on my brother to be there when I needed him. I knew he would instinctively g

Chapter 20

Dean POV As I made my way back into the dining hall, I took a moment to glance at the head table. There was Blossom, sitting beside her brother, looking more at ease now that she was distanced from anyone who might make snide remarks or bring up the confrontation with Fina. Initially, I was hesitant about the idea of elevating the head table—it seemed too formal for a party—but the staff had insisted, and now I was grateful. It kept Blossom away from any potential drama, and I even caught a glimpse of her smile. Despite feeling guilty for placing her in such a tense situation, I was relieved to see she found a safe haven.Most guests were engrossed in their dinner and conversation, and the atmosphere had finally calmed with laughter and chatter, just as I had originally envisioned for this party.I moved quickly to the back of the room, where Fina was holding court with a group of young women her age, likely reveling in her defiance against Blossom. Gently cupping her elbow, I steere
