“How am I to believe a Hunter? How?” I shouted. She stared at me with her mouth open and glared at me like I was the one with no loyalty. “Get your things and go,” I growled.

“You don’t need to believe a Hunter! All you need to believe in is me, your Mate!” Her furious cry made me stop in my tracks, but the word Mate had me looking back at her. “That’s right! Believe me, because I chose on my own to be here. I made this choice to come, even knowing it could mean my death. I am not asking you to trust in any other Hunter; I am asking you to put your trust in me. You claimed me, so I am not going anywhere.”

Dax turned around to stare at me, and his eyes grew an intense violet as he stalked back over to me. I swallowed because I could not help the words that spilled from my lips, but he had to trust me. My feelings were a mess, and I didn’t think Dax would have this intense attraction for me. Even with my gifts, something had to be there for him to look at me the way he does right now.

“What did you say?” His low growl vibrated my clit as if he was speaking to it.

“I said I am not going anywhere,” I whispered. I was losing my mind, and the fact I couldn’t even control my breathing told me maybe he was right, and I should leave. Every time the thought crossed my mind, the pain in my heart damn near stopped my breath.

“No. No, not that. Say it again,” Dax commanded. He was in front of me before I knew it. I heard the book hit the floor. Dax’s hands reached up, grabbing my hair, making sure I couldn’t move an inch. His grip was tight, but it didn’t hurt as he held my face making us eye to eye. “Say it.” The command in his voice had a horse moan leaving my lips.

“Mate. I said, Mate,” I whimpered. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I was a Hunter. I’m not weak. Damn, he had me weak in the knees. But when it came to those violet eyes and his domineering presence, something just switched off. I didn’t feel like a Hunter, but like a woman who needed his mouth on mine.

“This is my problem, Devana. My wolf knows you are mine, but my mind tells me you are not telling me everything. You call me your Mate, but I don’t know if you truly believe this is a fact or not.” His words ripped at my soul, but logically, I knew this could be my out. I could pull away and go after this demon alone so no one would get hurt. My heart told me that was so damn wrong, but could I trust myself that these feelings were genuine?

“I make this promise to you that I am not here to hurt anyone and that I am here to help.” He searched my eyes for the truth of my words. I was losing the grip I held on my towel. I wanted to run my hands up his body and take his shirt off. “Fuck it.”

I reached up to pull his face to mine, and his lips devoured me. I felt his fingers leave my hair. They worked their way to my ass, squeezing my cheeks and pulling me closer. The towel was long gone as we demanded more from each other. Dax pulled back only to place his lips on my neck, licking and sucking. He had me going into a frenzy trying to climb his ass like a damn tree. Finally, Dax stepped back and pulled his shirt off, and my mouth went dry. His chest was covered in tattoos of so many animals, but the massive red wolf over his heart stood out the most. I didn’t have time to ask about any of them because he dropped his sweats and my core throbbed. I never knew I could crave a person until Daxton Rayne. I was soaked before he even touched me again.

“Get on the bed.” His voice was almost incomprehensible. I moved and climbed onto the bed when I felt his hand on my ankle, pulling me back and flipping me around. I groaned as Dax stalked over my body. I fantasized about this, but my feeling was more than lust. I wanted him. I wanted to protect him and give everything I am to this man, this wolf. The realization of my feelings slammed into my chest as Dax grabbed both breasts together and sucked.

“Ohh…oh shiii…” I moaned as he rubbed his thickness against my core. He didn’t stop teasing my nipples until my body shuddered beneath him.

“I hope you know what you are in for, Hunter.”

Dax grunted as he leaned down to kiss me quickly. He moved back down my body, giving each breast attention one last time before his tongue slowly drifted down my body to my navel. I couldn’t help the shudder as his hands glided over each breast and pinched my nipples hard.

“Oh fuck!” I cried. I felt the tingle in my clit. I moaned in pleasure as he kissed every inch while moving between nipples, pinching them, making my thighs clench tight around him.

“I wanted to taste this earlier. I have been thinking about it ever since I smelled your scent. I need it on my tongue.” His low groan had my eyes rolling as he made his way to my core. I shuddered again as he teasingly began licking my clit, working me as he watched me. My eyes were heavy, but I couldn’t mistake the wolf peeking through, ready to claim what was his. His tongue slid between the edges of my lips as his hands traveled down to rest on my legs. He began teasing and playing, avoiding what I wanted. I reached down, trying to move his head up so he could suck my clit the way I needed him to. He caught my arm, and I saw the cocky ass smile as he slammed it to the bed. I rocked my hips, trying to get him where I wanted, when he slid his tongue deep in my opening, making me arch up with a desire for more. I whimpered in time with his tongue thrusts into my opening, making a mess on his face. I swear his tongue got longer as it hit spots inside of me that it shouldn’t have, making me call out his name.

“Dax, Dax! Please!” I moaned. I felt my climax building, and I was going to explode. My entire body needed him in ways I couldn’t fully understand. The first time I ever saw his face in the drawings, I was drawn to him. I didn’t know how long he would keep me on the edge of coming, but I need the release and for Dax to give it to me. His tongue teased my clit, while occasionally traveling back down to swipe at my opening, teasing me as if he were going to shove his tongue back deep inside of me. I felt his thick finger slide in deep as he crooked his finger to hit my G-spot. I couldn’t help the cry of pleasure, and I moved my hips without control. I wanted more, and I wanted him inside of me.

“You called me your Mate, but I don’t think you believe it. But you will.” His words were rough and laced with a hint of a growl, making my entire body vibrate.

I felt tears gather in the corner of my eyes as the agony of just being so close to release was driving me insane. I knew he was tormenting me for the use of the word Mate. I knew Dax as an Alpha ached to hear those words leave my lips in submission. Not being able to take anymore, I tried to wiggle away from his grip, but his growl stopped all movement. His violet eyes snapped up to meet mine, and I felt as if I would growl right back.

“I need to come, Dax, please?”

His chuckle sent more vibrations through me and was almost enough to cause me to climax. Dax leaned back down without answering me, and his tongue circled and twirled at my clit while his fingers thrust deeper into me. I couldn’t stop the moan from escaping my lips as I let my head fall onto the mattress. I gripped the sheets with one hand as the other found its way into his thick hair. I pulled at it as I rocked my hips, “Dax.”

I knew I was close, but I wanted more. I opened my mouth but slammed it shut when I realized I almost asked for his mark, for him to bite me in the way that would make me his. Dax pushed another finger into my tight core, stretching me out as he hit that spot repeatedly. I clenched onto his fingers and gripped his hair tightly as I rose to make him give me more. His large hand pushed me back down on the bed as he looked up to meet my heated gaze. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from his as I gasped out loudly as his finger made a move that had me crashing into bliss.

“Oh...fuck!” I screamed as I came feeling everything drain out of me. All the worries, stress and fear were gone in the minutes my climax lasted. I felt his lips on mine as his fingers kept up the motion giving me aftershocks of pleasure. I felt as though I was drugged or buzzed in a good way. I didn’t know that my eyes lids had slid closed until I tried to open them.

“Shh..you have time, Mate. Just rest for now.” I felt him move away from me and then his heat around me as he adjusted my body to lay on his chest. I couldn’t stay awake for anything else.

DAX

I knew this was my Mate, but it was still something she wasn’t telling me, and I did not like it. I watched her sleeping on my chest for a few more minutes before moving her carefully onto the mattress and slipping out of bed to get to my Pack meeting. As a Pack Alpha, I had to make sure my lands would be safe while I dealt with this imposter running around as if he is the True Alpha or even an Alpha at all. I put my clothes back on and headed to my room to get cleaned up before it was time. I knew Devana wanted to be a part of the meeting, and maybe she should since she was my Mate, but she wasn’t truthful. I could sense it and feel that even though she used the word Mate, she did not mean it. “I don’t have time for this. What the hell was Quinn thinking?” I grumbled as I showered quickly. I stepped out with a towel around my hips to see Thomas standing by the window overlooking the entire property. “What are you doing here? Should you be at the pit?” I said, looking at the clock. Thomas said nothing and didn’t make a move to face me, so I moved over to the old oak dresser that belonged to my parents and pulled out a pair of black sweatpants and a long-sleeve black t-shirt.

“Someone here is up to something, and I don’t like it. I don’t like it because I can’t figure it out just yet. Who would want to work with a fake wolf who calls themselves The True Alpha in their right mind? It makes no sense when Quinn has shown not only to be the real True Alpha but also has the eyes to prove it,” Thomas said. He finally turned around to look at me. I could tell this shit was getting to him, because his empathic gifts could typically find the deceit in a shifter as well as keeping a Pack calm. The fact he wasn’t getting anything was telling the wrongness of this entire situation. Something or someone was hiding this person from his gift, which was never a good sign.

“Little brother, as long as I have lived, there has always been a reason that humans or supernaturals follow the wrong side. Everyone chooses what they believe in, and sometimes they make the wrong choices or choose to follow the wrong person. The problem with this is that some have their choice taken from them. For example, we have a demon possessing a wolf shifter because this shifter wants power. That rogue wants a title that does not belong to him and believes that only born wolves are the true shifters, which touches on shit that other shifters believe in. He speaks the words that others want to say but are too afraid to say, so they follow him no matter how wrong it feels. It’s fucking with me, brother. What is the endgame to all of this? What is the endgame for this demon?” I asked. What does this demon get from this chaos because we know it isn’t to help this wolf?

“That is what is honestly bothering me the most. The others are looking for a fight. They want to bring this Alpha and his Pack down before…” I looked up from lacing my boots to catch Thomas’s eyes before he looked away. I stood and made my way over to him and grabbed his shoulder so he could look at me.
