He nods and elaborates, “Dom and Caleb are going to go at it. I have to be around to see that.” He glances at his mate and smiles. “And I thought it would be fun for them to see what Veronica can do.”
I nod in agreement. Natalia taught Veronica, so I have no doubt she can handle herself just fine.
“I’ll have to watch her at some point as well.” First I’ll speak with Alec. Too much right now is uncertain. Alec will tell me what I need to know, and then I’ll be able to take action. I’m responsible for the pack and my mate needs safety above all else.
DOM
Lizzie looks so fucking small on the sparring platform. My mate, my gorgeous mate. Last night was a damn dream come true. Holding her in my arms while I rutted into her tight pussy. I’ve waited all my life for her. She’s mine now and she’s eager to have me. A low, rumbling growl barrels through my chest at the memory of her soft whimpers and loud moans of pleasure. An asymmetric grin pulls at Caleb’s chest when he hears the animalistic sound rip through me. She took us both justas she was made to.
“Fucking perfect.”He mutters in my head so only I can hear him.“You think this is going to work?”
I shrug my shoulders.
“I have no idea, but it’s worth a shot.”We decided last night that teaching Lizzie to spar may help bring her wolf out again. She’s only felt her the one time since the offering and although I’m happy her wolf returned, it’s fucking tearing up my sweet little mate.
She’s been traumatized and her wolf abandoning her is a reminder of that. No matter how much she smiles and pretends it doesn’t get to her, she wants her wolf to come back and stay. She wants to shift so badly; I know she does. I have no idea if she’ll ever be able to, but I’ll do everything I can to help her.
“Well, even if it doesn’t coax her wolf out to play, she’ll at least learn how to fight,”Caleb comments and his thoughts turn darker. It’s a side of Caleb I’m not comfortable with even if Lizzie is.
“You better not fucking bruise her.” My statement, whispered aloud, carries a thinly veiled threat.
Caleb’s reaction is dismissive.“Have you seen our mate? I’m not the only one who’s fucked up in our pairing, and if it’s what she craves—”
“We should’ve taken it easier on her.”
“You didn’t exactly think that last night,”he rebuts.
The low growl is repressed as I tear my gaze from his. Shuffling my feet and kicking the floor, I avoid the sight of Lizzie’s neck as guilt washes over me. Her hips are covered in bruises from where we gripped her, and her neck is covered in bites and bruises. Both of our marks are an angry red color.
I confess to him,“I wish her wolf would come heal her. I hate seeing her so fucking wounded.”
“It might happen. It might not … but she fucking loved it.”
His comment doesn’t help loosen the growing knot in my chest. He continues,“Did you see her looking at herself this morning? She was delighted to see our marks.”His shoulder bumps into mine as he speaks.“She’ll heal up nice and the only thing that’ll be left are two silver claiming marks on her neck. Proof she’s ours.”
Imagining her beautiful slender neck with our scars on her makes my chest puff out in pride with a warmth spreading through me.
“Damn right she’s ours.”At my inner words, Lizzie glances over to us and smiles while walking toward the edge of the platform. Her leggings are practically painted on and her sports bra leaves nothing to the imagination. I’m hard again just looking at her.
“So which one of you two is going to fight me?”Her tone is flirtatious and a blush creeps up her chest to her cheeks as her gaze slips from mine to Caleb’s.
“Both of us.” Caleb’s answer doesn’t lack an ounce of sex appeal and she bites into her bottom lip, rocking slightly on her feet.
The flirtation is … well, it works her up. But he’s out of his damn mind.
“She can’t handle both of us,”I tell him.
He chuckles at my words as he climbs into the ring and it takes me a moment to register why. When I do, I let out a huff of a laugh.
“She won’t be able to fight either of us off right now, but she’ll learn.” He answers me loud enough for her to hear.
“All right.” I concede and follow Caleb onto the platform just as I see Veronica and Vince heading our way. A prick of unease flows through me. Vince has been … off. He’s bothered, and we can all feel it.
“Showtime isn’t until later. We’re training our baby girl first,” Caleb calls out to them.
With the arrival of guests, Lizzie seems to second-guess our plans.
“Can I just watch?” Her tone makes it obvious she’s a bit hesitant to get physical.
