“Devon, what a pleasant surprise. It looked like you and Colton had forgotten this was a party.”
I wrapped my arms around the waist of my mouthy little princess.
“Business doesn’t sleep, princess. I am sorry, it won’t happen again. Tonight.”
I allowed the scent of her to fill my soul. The sweet scent of strawberry and vanilla and whatever was just her. Home. She was my home.
A laugh from the females broke my peace. I knew that laugh.Damn it. Why was this the group of wolves my mate decided to talk with. I tried to pull Kiara away from them, but her feet were firmly planted and she fought against me.
“Mm, Devon. How fortunate for you to have finally found her,” said Ruby, one of the pack females.
This was the first time Kiara had faced the pack outside of Sarah and Colton. I pulled her closer since she wasn’t about to let me take her away.
“Yes, it is fortunate, isn’t it? Fate smiled on our pack, or we might have had an ill fit Luna. Trust me when I say that she is our moon goddess’ blessing and is the best of any choice.”
My words were pointed.
“True, but,” Ruby said, and tried to get closer. Kiara put her hand out, her nails a bit more like claws, stopping Ruby in her tracks. Too bad the female didn’t get the message to just shut up. “Fated mate versus forced contracted mate. My bed would have still been warm.”
There wasn’t much to say. She’d made her personal thoughts known even when the contract had been drawn up and I’d made my feelings known.She was not for me.
“As your alpha, I would—”
Kiara abruptly spun in my arms and reached up towards me, grabbing my face and claiming my lips.
Her warm tongue traced over my lips as I answered her kiss. Fuck, she tasted sweet. I closed my eyes and lost myself. My hands tightened around her waist, yanking her closer.
Just as quickly as she’d kissed me, she pulled away, leaving me hungry for more. I had barely focused on anything other than the fact I now had a problem in my pants and a mate in my arms that I needed to get alone. But instead of pulling her off to a dark corner, my Kiara tried to pull away. I didn’t let her go, even if she was up to something.
“You were saying, what was it, Ruby? Looks like your bed will be cold and mine? Well, if you look at him wrong, I can show you where there are plenty of men willing to buy you.”
I looked around, shocked.
Claws away, Kiara. You’re their Luna now.
I tightened my grip on her and she snaked a hand between the two of us and started to stroke me through my pants.
Shut up, and I’ll make this go away.
I shut up, but not because I was listening. But because there wasn’t enough fucking blood to power my brain and my cock, and my wolf wasn’t fucking fighting it either.
“Well, I… He, well… Some Luna you are.”
The words on my tongue didn’t have a purpose as my mate took over the conversation.
“Respect me and I will respect you. Regardless of whose bed he warmed before, there will be no one after me. There is a party, go find someone new and we won’t ever have to see just how good of a Luna I can or cannotbe.”
I nearly fucking moaned as she squeezed me through my pants and watched the stunned trio walk away. Ruby had never been one of my better decisions, but desperate depression and the solid belief my mate was dead? Sometimes a man makes really shit choices.
Kiara grabbed my hand and yanked me away from the party. There were plenty of shadows of pack members here. The celebration was still going on as she pulled me away. Some in human form, some wolf. The pack bonds made it easy to know that no one here didn’t belong. Tonight I could turn off my mind and follow my mates’ will.
And follow I did as she led me into the forest. Only when we’d reached as far as I would allow her away from the main pack, did I yank her back and back her up against a tree.
CHAPTER13
Kiara
Devon claimedmy lips before I could yell, scream, or protest. Because he was getting yelled at. Maybe. His lips trailed over my neck, his hand cupped my breast.
