name.
Her walls pulsed and
tightened around him as she rode the crest of a powerful orgasm. He
moved harder and faster inside her, prolonging and intensifying her
pleasure. “Oh, Andrew...” she whispered, her arms
sliding down from his shoulders to fall on either side of her head.
He had taken her bareback,
and it felt so fucking good. But he had to be fair to her. She
wasn't his mate. It wouldn't be right to impregnate her, even though
he wanted to.
The thought of pumping his
seed into her and making her belly swell with his pup almost made him
come right there and then. But he held back and forced himself to
withdraw. Leaning over to his bedside table, he fished out a condom
from the drawer and jerked it on. Spreading her legs, he entered her
again, and this time, he didn't hold back.
He pounded into her
furiously, and she groaned as he grabbed her bouncing breasts and
squeezed. He saw that she loved what he was doing to her. Her body
was so sensitive, so responsive to his touch, his kisses.
“Oh Andrew, I...”
She gasped and climaxed suddenly and forcefully. With a roar, he
finally let go and took his release. He kept thrusting as he
ejaculated thick jets of his hot, milky seed. Yanking her up to him,
he tilted her head back to bare her throat for his bite. Sinking his
teeth into the curve where her neck flowed into her shoulder, he bit
down into her soft flesh. She gasped and her body jerked as another
wave of pleasure slammed into her.
He continued moving,
stroking in a steady rhythm as he bit her. As she wrung the last
drop of his semen from him, there was only one thought in his mind.
Every night.
He wanted this every single
night.
He wanted her.
He had marked her. She now
wore his mark and his scent, but he hadn't claimed her.
It was too soon to claim
her.
For now, marking her was
enough.
As long as she wore his
mark, she would be protected.
The Dark Moon wolves
wouldn't dare touch her. They wouldn't come within a mile of her.
He would make sure of that.
After he laid her softly
down on the bed, he rolled out of bed and strode to the bathroom.
“Noah,” he
barked into the wall phone. “Wrap up the dinner as soon as you
can, and gather all our wolves in the great hall. There's someone
I'd like you all to meet.”
After a pause, he said, “A
new pack member.”
CHAPTER
SEVEN
Leah stood facing the lake,
watching the moon's reflection ripple on the water surface. The moon
hung low and full in the night sky, bathing the landscape in a pure,
silvery light. Taking a deep breath, Leah shed her clothes slowly,
letting the cool moonlight caress her naked body.
She could do this. She had
been training and practicing diligently. Abigail and Meiling, her
two trainers, had been so encouraging and patient. They never gave
up on her. They were tough and demanding, but they were never cruel.
They believed in her and had utmost faith that she would be able to
rouse her wolf.
Everyone had a different way
of connecting and calling upon their wolf, they'd told her. Leah
just had to find her own way.
For six months, she had gone
through very tough, taxing mental and physical training. She had to
be strong, emotionally and physically, to be able to shift. It took
strength, stamina and discipline to control one's wolf.
Her friends had been
encouraging as well. Yes, she had friends now. She had made lots of
new friends in the Thunderfalls pack. They were her friends, her
comrades, her family. She was one of them now.
Andrew had gathered the
entire Thunderfalls pack and told them the truth about her. He
didn't want to lie to his pack, and he'd told her that she should
never be afraid of facing the truth. There was nothing to be afraid
of, and she had nothing to be ashamed of. “It's the only way
to be truly free,” he'd said. And he was right.
The Thunderfalls wolves were
straight-talking and direct, but they showed her genuine empathy and
consideration. They didn't snigger and gossip behind her back.
