I would ravage her.

But only after one stern and very harsh round of discipline.

A smile shifted across my lips, the taste of her sweet lips lingering on mine. The four days had mostly been a blur, the healing process longer than Dr. Riker had hoped. While I would never forgive Angelic for what she’d done to her own daughter, let alone the people of our pack, at least she’d found her own level of humanity.

Or so Vanessa had told me more than once.

My mate’s capacity for forgiveness was much stronger than my own.

While the Beast was caged, awaiting trial from our own council, he’d provided some information regarding the LaRue pack. Max had learned a great deal about him, including his real name. Stryker Mason had never considered a single location a home, learning early in his life that being an assassin had its perks. I honestly had some pity for the man as well as additional respect for the Wolfen pack.

We protected our own while he’d never known the comfort or protection of a family.

I shifted my arms, wrapping them around her thighs as I swayed back and forth, grinding my hips against hers. The scent of her wet pussy was driving me crazy, the desire reaching critical mass. I would be deep inside soon enough.

“How are you feeling?” Vanessa asked quietly. She seemed more content, even though she’d only asked a few questions regarding her heritage. There were already some within the Wolfen pack who’d condemned her given her LaRue heritage. Thankfully, Max had made his position clear.

She was my mate and was to be protected as one of our own.

While Markel had remained aloof, so far, he had yet to challenge my mistakes or the coupling. I suspected one day that would come. And I would be prepared. No one was going to take her away from me. If they dared try, they would face a wrath unlike anything they’d ever known before.

At least Markel had provided more of a full account of the LaRue wolves to the entire council, allowing us to understand that there were still solid numbers of the beasts. The remaining pack had made it their mission to wipe out as many Wolfen as possible. They would strike again, but we would be better prepared.

“Amazing.” I squeezed my hands around her legs, allowing a single growl to slip past my lips.

Her ragged breathing was merely another reminder of her increasing hunger, an insatiable woman in her own right. As she eased her hands around me, brushing just the tips of her fingers down my chest, I closed my eyes. This was absolute paradise. The moment her delicate hands reached my cock, I found it almost impossible to control my beast.

“Yes, you do feel amazing,” she whispered as she stroked my shaft, moving in a deliberate manner. “Perfect in fact.” As her deft hands fumbled with my belt buckle, stars flashed in front of my eyes.

She’d had no way of knowing how important her investigation into Chris Montenegro and his company had been, even though he’d never confessed to any additional knowledge as to the whereabouts of Anthony Drago. I’d seen the resignation in her at the fact that she would likely never know what had really happened to her father.

Through Max’s influence and contacts in the various law enforcement systems, not only were Chris and Thomas Montenegro under indictment for criminal activities going back several years, a half dozen of their board members were as well. The ugly story was still unraveling, details of their far-reaching attempt to destroy multiple companies incomprehensible.

At least the damning headlines had kept the press from barking at Roselake’s door, the concept of dangerous wolves walking the streets of Denver shoved under yet another rug.

For now.

It was only a matter of time before our pack would be faced with full exposure. I only prayed that life would go on for a few years, allowing me to enjoy my acceptance of a beautiful, sensuous, and feisty mate.

After all, I needed a significant portion of time to train her.

“I need you,” she murmured as she managed to unfasten my button.

I clamped both hands on top of hers, the husky sound erupting from my throat barbaric. “Not so fast, little girl. You seem to forget that you aren’t in charge. In addition, I can tell you don’t remember the hard spanking I promised you.”

“I think I’ve paid for my sins.”

I laughed, tipping my head back and enjoying the glimmer of sun on my face. As close as I’d been to death, I’d never given up on the hope a day like this would come. “Not a chance, princess.”

“You haven’t called me that in days.”

“Many things are about to change. Now, I suggest you undress and prepare for your punishment.”

A hoarse groan escaped her lips as her hands drifted away. “Can’t I beg for forgiveness?”

“Always, but that won’t get you out of your punishment. You’ve disobeyed me on far too many occasions, almost getting yourself killed.” I turned to face her and was still stunned at her level of beauty as the light breeze blew through her long strands, the shimmer of sun highlighting the copper in her hair. She was truly magnificent. Even the simple cotton dress she was wearing allowed me to indulge in the voluptuousness of her hourglass figure.

I was one lucky man.
