Angelo’s POV
I was rubbing my temples with my fingers as Benjamin kept talking on and on. Almost everyone who attended the meeting was falling asleep. Both betas of our packs were missing and I knew mine was busy was his mate. I kept an eye on one man who was so close to falling asleep, his head was resting on his palm. His elbow slipped on the table when he finally dozed off causing his head to bang hard against the wooden table. It caused a common to which I snickered as well others who were watching him for entertainment, but Benjamin didn't acknowledge what just happened. What is he even talking about so much?
"I think that is why my pack is doing so great right now." Ah, so that's what he has been talking about for what seems like hours, he is bragging about his pack... Wait- why the fuck do I need to be here and listen to this shit?! I could be doing other very important things that involve my sexy ass mate. Just thinking of my mate got me excited to finish up here go back to where we started with her.
"That is a good idea, Benjamin. I'll be sure to try it around here. And about crossing your land, we won't be doing that any longer. My apologies, we didn't know the land was taken." Diana's father said standing up, ending the meeting. Finally!
"But before we all leave," Dam. I thought we were done I was already heading to the door. "I'd like to announce that my daughter is mates with a good man. Angelo Russell, take good care of her. We will talk more about joining packs and such in the next meeting. Good night."
I smiled warmly at him which he returned while the men in here seemed to wake up with the announcement. They patted my back on their way out, happy for me at having found my mate and one man secretly whispered to me that I was going to be whipped like hell. I simply chuckled but couldn't think why that was a bad thing if you know what I mean...
Benjamin was one of the last to shake my hand. He seems okay when he keeps his mouth closed. Yet I feel like there is something off about him that I don't like. He smiled at me and saying congrats silently before walking off.
"Is it just me or do I smell roses?" I asked a guy next to me, right before Benjamin stepped out the door. Benjamin let out a low growl and slammed the door shut after him, making it tremble afterward by the impact. I took that as odd but still, no one answered my question. I sighed and said goodnight to the ones left in here. My beta, David, must have a good ass reason as to not come to the meeting and suffer along with me. It was most likely because of his newly found mate.
Cam’S POV
I watched him carefully. He was processing it alright so far...
"So, you’re saying that my baby sister...is mates with an alpha who is known to be a player," James said furrowing his eyebrows as he thought some more about this. I let myself look at him while he was processing the news. He got his black hair from his mother and her vibrant green eyes too. Although his skin was more of a soft tan rather than pale like hers. James body was lean yet packed with muscles where they needed to be from living in the wild. I would have never thought he would turn out to be my mate, I didn't think it worked that way. But a werewolf bond is never wrong.
"Is he treating her good?" He asked suddenly his eyes alight with anger, other than that he was pretty calm.
"Yeah, I mean I think so. I think she already has fallen in love with him, I can tell." I watched his eyes widen in shock before the anger in his eyes vanished and his face features softened. He was going through so many emotions but he was clearly happy about one thing.
"Good. It's about time you stop looking after her and start spending more time with me." James said smiling, his green eyes shining. It knocked the breath out of my lungs.
"Does that mean you are going to come out of your hiding spot?" I said and at the same time, I could feel hope bubbling up inside me at the thought of him coming back home. His smile faltered as he took in my expression.
"No, I'm not coming back yet. I found something interesting while in hiding that I think you want to know but I'll tell you later. Right now I want to do this." James leaned in closer until I could feel his hot breath on my cheek and see his green eyes darken right before my eyes. His intoxicating smell had me breathing faster. I learned in closer into him until I could feel his warm lips against mine, igniting a fire deep within me.
Diana’s POV
It has been hours and my body felt like it was still burning, yearning for his touch almost creating a pain from not receiving it. I sighed through the pain and buried my head deeper into my pillow getting his musky scent. It did not help me stop thinking about him so I got out my bed stumbling.
My mind has been working non stop thinking of ways to resist dear Angelo. I came up blank each time but he knows what he is doing. Without a doubt, he is going to use that same spot on my neck. A brilliant idea came to my head and I laughed at how stupid I was from nothing thinking of this earlier. Oh man, he has a thing coming if he thinks he is going make me beg so easily. I jumped out bed and opened my drawer digging around until I felt lace material.
I carefully slipped on my master plan, a pair of black sexy lingerie that even had me blushing at the sight. I switched on the light and checked how they looked on me before turning it back off and jumping into bed when I heard footsteps approaching. I felt a pull in my body and I knew it had to be Angelo why my body was already acting up.
Oh, I have this in the bag.
The door squeaked open and I held my breath to make it seem like I was asleep. I heard him shuffle around the before he got into bed with me slowly. He pulled me into his warm chest and I felt him tense up when his hands made contact with my bare skin covered thin lingerie.
"Surprised?" I whispered to him turning towards him so I could teasingly press my chest against his.
He was oddly still while I just chuckled and wrapped my arms around his neck to run my fingers through his hair. Something was off, his hair was longer, more silky than rough. I snapped my eyes open to see nothing but darkness as my eyes weren't adjusting yet. I leaned in and took a whiff of him only smell roses and faint lavender. Realization hit me and I gasped at the fact that it was not Angelo but Benjamin.
"You can say that again."
