Slade's Feisty Mate (Saber Chronicles Book Two) Read Online Free PDF

her nose. She growled softly as her eyes
opened, and he grinned.
    “You ordered room service?” she asked as she
sat up and took a bite of the bacon.
    “You said breakfast in bed was a condition of
your agreement to mate me.”
    She tilted her head, her eyes dancing. “I
should have asked for more things.”
    “Too late. You’re mine.”
    “Damn it,” she said, chuckling.
    He’d found a single-cup coffee maker in her
kitchenette and made coffee for both of them before she woke, and
after asking how she took her coffee, he fixed it for her with milk
and sugar.
    “I could get used to this,” she said after
sipping the coffee.
    “Which part?” he asked as he pulled the egg
and meat platter closer on the bed and began to fill their
plates.
    “Waking up to you.”
    Cupping her face, he leaned in and kissed her
gently. “I’m so glad you’re mine, Gretchen.”
    “Me too, Slade.”
    His phone buzzed several times while he was
feeding his mate, but he ignored it. He knew it was his sister or
brothers calling to meet up with him and Gretchen to discuss the
NWFA and their plans for the future.
    Putting his empty plate on the now-empty
tray, he leaned back against the headboard and looked at his mate
as she smeared grape jelly on a triangle of toast. “The full moon
is in four days.”
    Her brow arched. “Yeah.”
    “I don’t have to shift on any particular day.
I do it when I feel like hanging out in my cat form. You’re tied to
the full moon, though, right?”
    She nodded and took a bite, chewing
thoughtfully. “When the full moon rises, I almost can’t help
myself. I mean, if I really wasn’t able to shift, I could do it,
but my wolf gets pissy if I can’t go hunting and running around the
woods like an idiot.”
    “You need to be with your pack?”
    “You’re my pack now.”
    He frowned. “What?”
    She finished her toast and brushed her
fingers together to clean them of crumbs. She put her plate on the
tray and pushed it to the edge of the bed and then joined him,
leaning across his thighs and meeting his gaze. “My pack is
exclusive to wolves. Only wolves who are part of the pack are
allowed in the hunting territory, so you wouldn’t be able to be
with me. Since I don’t want anyone to see you naked, I’m pretty
sure you don’t want me stripping in front of unmated males
either.”
    He growled in agreement, and she smiled.
    “I’ll leave the pack. After we meet with your
family, you can take me to my parents and the alpha can meet us
there so I can leave.”
    He stroked his fingers up her arm, and she
shivered. “Is there a ceremony or something special that he’ll do
when you leave?”
    “No. There are some packs where the alpha
makes the announcement to the pack, but Alpha Johner isn’t that
formal. When we have pups, they’ll be part of our pack.”
    “Cubs,” he corrected. “Saber genetics are
dominant.”
    She hummed. “Pups. In case you haven’t heard,
wolves are awesome, so our kids will naturally take after me.”
    He tugged the sheet away from her body as he
leaned in to kiss her. “You are awesome.”
    “What about your family?”
    “If we’re going to have a crapton of kids, we
need to get started. Now.”
    He pushed her gently to the bed and she
wrapped her arms around him. “How many is a crapton ?”
    “I’ll let you know when we’re done having
kids.”
    Her brow arched as she smiled. “We’ll never
be done, my sexy mate.”
     

Chapter 5

    Sunday morning, Gretchen sat between her best
friend and her mate in the hotel’s restaurant and nibbled on a
strip of bacon. She was especially hungry for meat and knew it was
because the full moon was looming on the horizon. After she and
Slade had made love and then declared that both wolves and cats
were equally awesome, and their children, whichever parent they
took after, would also be awesome, she called her parents to
announce her mating.
    They were happy for her and excited to meet
her mate. She hadn’t doubted
