The Rejected Female Wolf - Chapter 82: Chapter 82

"Not now, Chelsea." She immediately starts pouting. Great, this is just what I need.
"But Zack," she says as she juts out her bottom lip, "you look so tense, I could help you out and give you some company. You know I'm good company," she starts batting her fake eyelashes up at me and I cringe.
"Go away," I say getting annoyed, "I came down here to get some food, not to be sexually harassed."
She pouts some more for a few minutes, but once she realizes I'm not paying attention to her, she huffs before she goes to find her next prey.
Poor guy.
Oh well. I need to focus all my energy on making sure that Elizabeth and Ryder don't leave. I have to keep them here for as long as possible and I also have to figure out how to get Elizabeth to mate with me so I can be at my best.
Once everything is done, I will be the head Alpha, and people will look up to me.
Ryder's POV
When I wake up the next morning, I expect to see my mate next to me, but when I don't, I start panicking. I get out of bed, and I'm about to run out of my room when I hear the shower on.
I relax slightly, and I get back into bed. I was worried that I was either dreaming about finding my mate, or that she went back to that other Alpha named Zeke or something.
A few minutes later, my mate steps out of the bathroom and she's only wearing a towel. Water droplets from her hair fall down to the exposed skin of neck, and trail down until I can't see them because of that stupid towel. My wolf growls in approval as we watch our mate.
At first, my mate doesn't realize that I'm awake, and that I'm staring at her. She grabs some of her new clothes, and she's about to drop her towel when she turns around, and our eyes lock.
Her eyes instantly become huge, and her skin pales a little as she lets out a surprised squeak. I chuckle a bit before I stand up and walk towards my mate. For every step I take towards her, she takes 2 steps back.
This continues until she gets backed up into a corner. The sides of my mouth tug up into a smirk and I put my hands on either side of her on the wall so she can't escape.
She clutches the towel closer to her, and she looks up at me with an innocent gaze.
I smile at her as I move a strand of hair away from her face. After that, I trail my index finger down her cheek, and down her neck.
Her breath hitches in her throat, and I smile a little. I press my lips against her soft cheeks, and I follow the path I made with my finger.
Once I get around her collarbone, she starts panting. I kiss around her neck looking for the spot where she will bare my mark.
I kiss the part where her shoulder and neck meet, and I'm rewarded with a soft moan. I grin and kiss that part of her neck again which causes her to moan again and I can smell her arousal.
When I look up at her face, her face is bright red, and she looks like she wants to be anywhere but here.
"Why do you look so embarrassed, sweetheart?" She just flushes even more and she starts looking at the ground.
"There's no reason to be embarrassed. I'm your mate," I say proudly while puffing out my chest. She lets out a soft giggle that's music to my ears. I take a couple of steps back so she's not cornered anymore.
"I'll let you change while I'm taking a shower."
After my shower, I pull on the pair of boxers that I brought with me into the bathroom. I go over to the sink and I see that I have a little stubble growing.
I wonder if Elizabeth likes facial hair? What if she hates it or it annoys her?
"She didn't sound like she minded this morning," Kaydon says smugly. I smirk as I remember her reaction. My mate is so adorable.
I put some clothes on before I follow Elizabeth's scent downstairs. When I get downstairs, I see that she is helping Emily make breakfast. I smile at how close those two are already.
Elizabeth seems very shy, so I'm glad she's opening up a little. She throws her head back laughing at something Emily says, and my smile widens to a grin. The sound of her laughter is the most beautiful thing, other than her voice, that I have ever heard. I would do anything to make sure that she is always happy with me. Kaydon growls his approval to that statement in my head.
Kaydon has also said that Annabel, Elizabeth's wolf, is opening up to him. She has literally turned him into a love-sick pup, and it's quite hilarious.
Usually Kaydon is serious, quiet, reserved, and he is always brooding. However, since we met our mate, he has not stopped talking about how perfect they are and how lucky we are to have them as our mate. I couldn't agree more with him. Our mate has changed us so much, and I couldn't be happier.
