They waited for the meal and then ate in total silence. Although the delicacies she was presented with lifted her mood a little, she still felt hurt and angry. Her reason told her she shouldn’t feel that way, but her heart told her otherwise. Something in the back of her mind kept repeating to her that it would all work out if he would not act this way. She scowled at the voice. But he was acting this way and apparently, he wasn’t intending to change that, case closed.

After finishing her meal, she once more looked at the view behind the window. She intended to not look at him as long as it was possible. Few minutes later she heard Dante’s irritated sigh and his chair being moved back. Gabi shuddered at that waiting for his attack, but she only heard his footsteps as he went downstairs. She looked after him not really knowing what to think of the situation.

Was he going to leave her here to pay for the meal and go back by herself? It would be a pain in the ass as she didn’t know if she could pay here by card, and besides she was still without a coat and they were in wilderness excluding the restaurant itself.

She was still waging her options in her mind when Dante returned. First, she smelled the delicate aroma of the flowers. When she looked in his direction, she opened her eyes widely in surprise. Dante was standing before her with a big bouquet of pretty, delicate flowers in a vibrant violent color – asters. His brows were furrowed but she didn’t see any sign of malice, anger or other negative emotions in his eyes – they were just pure chocolate.

“You like flowers, do you?” he asked in a casual tone, and when she slightly nodded her head, still shocked at his behavior, he gave her the bouquet.

“They don’t allow here to cut the roses; besides I think it’s a hackneyed choice. These ones suit you better.” While saying this he averted her gaze and Gabi thought for a second that he got a little embarrassed.

She sniffed the flowers once more and smiled to herself. She didn’t know if Dante knew anything about the language of flowers, but his choice was not only on point, but also a little bit ironic given their situation. Nonetheless she felt he was sorry and it was his way of trying to make her feel better, and this time his actions were genuine.

“They’re perfect. Thank you.” She gave him the littlest of smiles and it seemed to satisfy him, as a quiet rumble came out of his throat. He then quickly turned on his heels away from her and went to the stairs, while Gabi stared at his back in amusement and awe. Did he just now… almost purred? She wanted to laugh at his embarrassment, but at the second thought she didn’t want to destroy this little string of understanding and alliance that slowly started to create between them. Instead she decided to only smile more while cradling the flowers to her chest.

“Now let’s go or we’ll be late.” He said while walking downstairs. His voice was now almost normal but he didn’t look at her. Gabi shook her head at that, but still quickly followed him.

The owner was very sad that they were already leaving, but when they promised they would be back when they are free, he finally gave in and said his goodbyes to them.

When they reached the car, Dante took the flowers from her.

“For now, I’ll put them in the back.” Gabi nodded at that, but at the same time frowned a little.

“I’m afraid they won’t make it home if they will be so long without water.”

“When we arrive at the place, I’ll ask them to bring a vase for you.” He said while looking at her and she couldn’t help but once more smile. Her wolf and her heart were dancing a crazy dance of joy despite the fact that only half an hour ago they were weeping in pain.

Having a soulmate was really a pain in the ass.

When they arrived at their destination it was already half past two, but to their luck sun was still shining brightly. Gabi stepped out of the car and turned her face to the sun. She sighed in satisfaction when she felt its warm tickling on her skin and only after a few moments she opened her eyes to look around.

They still weren’t in a city. When Dante turned to a secluded road surrounded by trees, she became a little bit frightened at where he was taking her and he must have seen it. This time he was more cooperative and explained shortly that they were going to a private shop that really wasn’t open to anyone but those who knew its owner. Again, what a rich bastard.

Dante stopped the car right beside a big residence, surrounded by thicket of the trees. The mansion was far away from any other buildings and so to speak civilization. Suddenly something dawned on Gabi and she sniffed the air, gulping when her fears confirmed.

“Please tell me you didn’t bring me to another werewolf pack.” She almost moaned, suddenly feeling the pressure of surrounding her unfamiliar, strong scents.

“And what’s wrong with that?” Dante asked, surrounding the car and coming to her closer. Gabi put her arms around herself when another gust of wind made all her body shiver.

“Maybe you don’t remember because Matteo surely told you that, but I’m a runner. I’m not necessarily a wanted guest in other werewolf packs.” He rose his brow at that as if he didn’t understand her worries. She sighed irritated and looked around nervously.

“This may be new to you but most packs don’t tolerate runners. They prefer to kill them as they are too fearful and weak to take in.” she explained dryly, feeling anger rising once again at him for being so ignorant. He didn’t seem to be fazed at that, as he leaned on to her to look her deep in the eyes. She shivered at that, but this time definitely not from the cold.

“Well I wouldn’t say neither of them about you.” His hot breath tickled the skin on her lips and she involuntarily opened them a little more as if she wanted to invite him for a kiss. He couldn’t help but looked with longing at them, and his eyes darkened a little.

Suddenly Gabi realized where they were and more importantly what was happening. She looked away from his luscious lips and took a deep breath.

“Well, you don’t really know me that much.” She answered him quietly, trying so that her voice was as casual as it could be. Still it was trembling a little and she cursed at that.

Dante straightened up at that and sighed as if he was irritated by something.

“What’s more important is that you WERE a runner, now you are my Luna and they are obliged to treat you that way.” He responded with a frown on his face.

Fortunately for Gabi she was spared the embarrassment and shock when someone came out of the main mansions door and started shouting in their direction.

“Are you coming in or are you two planning on freezing to death?!” the man grunted at that and turned to face the mansion.

“Shut the fuck up and wait there!” he shouted back and once more turned to Gabi. Seeing that once more she shivered not only from fear but also the cold, his frown deepened.

“Why didn’t you bring any coat, are you blind to what’s outside?”

She managed to snarl in answer.

“Well while doing my list for Matteo I was more concerned if I live long enough to even need one, so he didn’t bring me anything like that.” His eyes grew darker at that and he growled irritated, but didn’t say anything to her.

“Hey, I’m still waiting here, you know?” they heard the man once more and this time Dante growled louder.

“Come or I’m going to kill him.” He snapped and guided her to the door. Reluctantly she went after him, not really knowing what to expect.

To be honest, she expected everything but not what she was met up with.

The man who was so eagerly shouting to them turned out to be a very colorful young man. His short, white as snow curly hair made an ideal contrast to his chocolate skin. He was tall, almost taller than Dante, but he was pretty slender for a werewolf. He was wearing tight black leather pants and a white leather jacket atop a pink top. He looked like a real fashionista, and in no way as one of their kind. When they came closer, she could also scent the man and she almost stopped in shock. This guy was for sure a Beta, if not even an Alpha!

“Finally, I thought you were going to devour her right then and there!” the man once more exclaimed and without a single word jumped to Gabi and hugged her tightly like they were best friends for the whole time. A waft of his sweet scent surrounded her, reminding her of cotton candy mixed with male cologne. It was too sweet for her liking, but also made her feel somewhat comfortable and safe. Nonetheless she squeaked when the man almost crushed her in his arms. He might not look like that, but he definitely had a strength of an Alpha.

This marathon of clinging was finally stopped by Dante, who pried the man’s hands from her, growling possessively. He pushed the owner of the mansion a few feet away and stood between them, shielding her with his body.

“Don’t do that again.” He growled, and although Gabi couldn’t see it, she sensed he was pissed and his eyes were red.

“Alright, stop it Danny, stop it.” The man chirped, not discouraged at all by his behavior. “I just got so pumped up I get to finally meet your mate that when I finally saw her, I couldn’t believe how pretty and cute she was, and I just had to hug her!” she subconsciously knew the man was telling the truth. His actions and words were nothing more than welcoming and comforting.

“I’m good Alpha, I just got startled a little.” She patted his back lightly so that he looked at her. Seeing his frowned face, she tried to smile reassuringly. He watched her for a second before once more turning to the man. At the same time he stepped aside, but still remained close by her side, making her heart flutter as she could smell his scent.

“This is Leonard Bouchard. He is the Alpha of the Wildgreen Pack and also a skilled fashion designer. He also doesn’t like to keep his hands to himself so keep an eye on him.” Dante presented him dryly.

“Oh, please call me Leo. Leonard is such an ugly name; I always tell Danny to not call me that but he always refuses.” He pouted his lips and Gabi raised her brows in astonishment. Danny?

“I will stop calling you that when you stop calling me that shitty nickname!” Dante growled at him back, but Leo only waved his hand at him and with his eyes blinking he once more came closer to Gabi.

“Well then I guess we both have to just live with it, right?” he smiled mischievously winking an eye to her and Gabi couldn’t help but to giggle at that. This man was pure gold.

“I’m sorry I scared you earlier, sweetheart. I just thought that maybe your mate told you something about me before he brought you to me.” When she nodded her head at no, he gasped loudly in exaggeration and looked at Dante with hurt in his eyes.

“How could you baby?!” he whined and this time Gabi just laughed aloud. Alpha looked at her with a warning in his eyes but seeing that she paid no attention to him he only growled a little and sighed irritated.

“Fine, have it your way then. I’m leaving Gabriella with you for now, help her pick up some nice dress for the ball.” He said while directing his steps into the mansion.

“And you I guess will be in my wine cellar with Ruby, plundering and drinking the best wines?” Leo put his hands on his hips and looked at him disapprovingly.

Dante turned around to them with a red glint in his eyes, but his lips formed into a mischievous smile that made her legs weak.

“Let’s hope you have something good down there, otherwise I’m going to crawl up the cellar and rummage through the wardrobes with your priceless clothes. You have to have something hidden from me up there.” He smirked and Leo gasped, this time in indignation.

“You wouldn’t!”

“Try me. And you, mia Luna” he said to her “be a good girl or I’ll get angry.” it was meant to be a warning, but his stance, his voice and the sparkle in his eyes made it sound like he almost wanted her to be naughty so that he could punish her. With that he turned around and disappeared inside. Gabi looked after him with her mouth open when another thing hit her. Didn’t he call her Luna… but in Italian?!

“I didn’t know he speaks Italian.” She finally mustered out, feeling how once more her cheeks became red from his words. Once more he switched his moods in a second, leaving her confused and hot.

“Of course, he can sweetheart, he’s an Italian after all! Didn’t he tell you that?” Leo exclaimed and suddenly looked at her more warily.

“ I… He… No.” she finally said, diverting her eyes to the man beside her. “And I didn’t really have a clue as his accent is perfectly London-like.”

“Well he came here when he was of very young age…” he looked like he wanted to add some more, but he changed his mind at the last moment and Gabi frowned a little like that. What did he wanted to tell her?

“I guess I shouldn’t be the one telling you all that, so for now let’s go and take your measurements, okay sweetie?” without waiting for her response she took her by the hand and almost dragged inside.

Without stopping on the way, he led her through the labyrinth of corridors and rooms. The traditional interiors mashed up with the modern furniture gave the mansion quite the original finish, but weirdly it all fit together perfectly. The next thing Gabi noticed was that on their way they didn’t meet a single soul. When finally they stopped, the room looked more like an atelier of an artist than a wardrobe that it was supposed to be, Gabi asked Leo about it.

“Oh, Dante mentioned something that you may be nervous around other werewolves, so I told them to go shopping. Only a few are right now in here.” Gabi looked at him speechless. Did Dante really thought about her and made arrangements so she won’t feel insecure? That really was an unexpected turn, given the fact that a few hours ago he admitted he cared for no one. He really was a mysterious man.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“Thank you, and sorry you had to make such arrangements.” She thanked the man, but he only waved his hand with a smile at her and returned to looking through one of the many stacks of clothes scattered around the room.

“It’s okay sweetheart. As you can see, I’m no ordinary Alpha, I had more runners come through my pack or even stay here than you can imagine. Most of my pack’s members know the feeling you’re going through, so they didn’t have any problem with that.” Gabi smiled at him warmly at that.

“I have a little more faith in the werewolf society now after meeting you. It’s a shame I didn’t meet you earlier.”

“Ohh, you’re so sweet!” he cupped her cheeks and in a reflex of tenderness he kissed her on the temple. For a second, she thought if Dante would be angry if he knew about that innocent kiss and Leo must have thought about the same thing.

“Just don’t tell the devil, all right?” he winked at her and she laughed at that.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She played innocent, giving in to his game and he send her a cheery smile.

“Great. Now that we settled, we will play a bit.” While they were talking Leo prepared a pile of clothes for her to try on. Gabi looked at it with big eyes, suddenly scared.

“All of them?” she whispered in shock.

“Oh sweetheart, it’s just the first pile! You may have come only for the dress but I sure as hell won’t let you leave only with it!”

“I’m grateful you want to show them to me, but I’m afraid I won’t have the money to pay for all of them.”

“Sweetheart, what are you saying?!” he looked at her like she had just fallen from the sky. “It’s all on Danny.” Leo smiled mischievously and Gabi couldn’t say no to him anymore.

“Ok then, let’s get to it.” She said while laughing.

It took her 2 whole hours to find something she found not only beautiful, but also comfortable enough for her to wear. After seeing what style really suited her and what she liked it was easier for Leo to find new clothes for Gabi.

After another half an hour she picked out three new pair of pants, some skirts, elegant blouses and a new dress which she fell in love with, but decided it was unfit for such an occasion as a ball.

When she saw the next choice of Leo’s her eyes started to sparkle. She quickly put it on and sighed in admiration when she looked at herself in the mirror. The dress was long as it reached up to the floor even when she was wearing high heels. It was in a pretty dark green color that made her eyes stand out even more. The dress left her whole back and shoulders bare as it was wrapped only around her neck, but it perfectly wrapped up her figure tightly up to her hips, where it fell to the floor loosely in waves of material. The cleavage of the dress was deep, reaching almost to her belly button, but weirdly she felt comfortable with it as her breasts were still completely covered up. She squeaked in adoration as she put one leg forward and a long cut in the material could be seen that reached almost up to her hip.

“It’s perfect” she finally said after swirling before the mirror a few times, checking how it looked from every angle. When she didn’t hear any response from Leo, she turned to him and saw how he sat in the only free chair in the room with his eyes and mouth wide open. Suddenly Gabi felt really conscious about herself.

“Do I not look good in it?” She worriedly looked at the dress trying to find what was wrong, but Leo quickly stood up and shook his head.

“Sweetheart, you’re looking… breathtaking! Like some kind of goddess, a holy pixie!” he shouted clapping his hands satisfied.

“Well, given the fact that I’m a werewolf… I don’t know if I should take that as a compliment.”

“Of course you should! The werewolf society is too harsh, it needs some… lighting up, and you’re just perfect, not only a Luna of a fierce werewolf pack, but also an ethereal creature straight from mythology!” he almost squeaked in excitation, as he almost ran up to one of the wardrobes and frantically started to search for something. Gabi looked after him with a mixed expression on her face. Leo’s compliments were very kind and she also felt great in the dress, but if what he told her was true, then the other werewolves won’t have such nice reactions to her, including Dante. And she really, really wanted to have her phone back, and that depended only on Dante’s mood.

“Thank you Leo, but after second thought I don’t really know if I should wear this dress to the ball. I think Dante might not like it…” she started but she was quickly shut off by the other Alpha who finally found what he was searching for and now turned to her with an outraged yelp.

“Oh no, that’s never going to happen! Sweetheart, I know him half of my life and what I can tell you is that he will be rapturous!... well of course he won’t show it or tell you about it, but certainly it will be like that! Believe me, he will want to fuck you right then and there, just like on that parking lot a few hours ago.” He winked at her with a mischievous smile and once more she couldn’t help but look away embarrassed. Maybe he would really like it, but she also knew he would be furious that she was going out like that, given her experience with him. She decided however not to tell this to Leo as to not spoil the atmosphere and so she smiled to him shyly.

“Then I think I have no other choice but to pick this one out.”

“I will gladly give you it even for free, it looks like it was specially made for you! Oh my god, I’m such a genius.” He started swooning over her while he came closer with some accessories in his hands. His eyes were blinking excitedly.

“But before we end, we have to pick up some nice accessories!” Gabi sighed at that with a troubled smile, as she already knew they won’t be done for the next two hours.

It was already 8 in the evening when they were finally done. Leo categorically stated that they won’t be let out without having a dinner with him and Ruby (who turned out to be his mate). That being said he urged her to wear the new dress she chose but deemed not fit for the ball.

Right now she was standing once more before the mirror, worriedly looking at her reflection. The dress was stunning, in a color of a rosy sparkly champagne, shade that definitely could glow in the dimmed light. It had long sleeves and a high collar, but the thing that worried Gabi was its length – it was tightly pressed to her whole body showing all of her features which wasn’t making her uncomfortable as much as the fact that it ended mid-thigh. After she put on the, also sparkly, high heels that Leo gave her, her legs were finely exposed and she felt that Dante might not like it.

But it was already too late as Leo was gone to gather everyone for dinner. While waiting for him, trying to ease her nerves a little she decided to change her hairstyle so it fit her outfit a little more. She quickly let her hair out from the braid and let it hang loosely on one arm.

She was so nervous that when the door opened a little, she jumped in surprise, startled by the sound. Prepared she was going to see Leo, her eyes opened widely at the sight of a young man… or was it a woman? Then Gabi saw her chest and calmed down a little. It was a tall woman with a short, manly-like pixie cut, that quite contrary to her friend Liz, gave off a pretty menacing aura. Gabi could see various tattoos from under her leather jacket she had loosely hanging on her arms. Her hair were black as night, the same as her eyes. Crimson lips along with heavy makeup around her eyes, a lot of rings and gold bracelets on her hands that right now she had partially stuffed in her pockets showed, that she was no weak woman. She had a mind of her own and she liked to state it. Still her beauty and sex appeal could be easily seen. A real werewolf, from head to toes.

When the door closed behind her, the intruder finally looked up at Gabi, who was still standing perplexed beside the mirror. An ironic smirk rose on the woman’s thin, but full lips and Gabi had to blink a few times as to make sure that it wasn’t Dante who stood before her.

“I see he made you wear all the things I threatened to kill him for.” She laughed lowly and plopped on the chair in a relaxed manner, like they were already friends. Gabi watched her warily for a few seconds, pondering on how to tackle this a little bit weird situation.

“If it makes the situation any better, I have to admit I really like these clothes.”

“Good. Because if you didn’t like what my mate had prepared for you, I would have to kill you.”

silence fell between them for a few seconds before the woman burst out laughing.

“I’m just kidding. Truth to be told I hate most of his designs for women, but look at me. In my defense I can say I’m wearing his designs, but made for men. I think they suit me better. But don’t get me wrong, when I see you in this dress, you look ravishing and now I know why he designs things like this. I’m Ruby by the way.” While talking she rose from her seat and came closer to Gabi, reaching out her hand to her. She took it with a smile and felt how her muscles started to relax.

“I’m Gabriella, but you can call me Gabi. Thanks for the compliment, but I don’t really think I should wear this dress. Alpha will probably get furious.”

“Hmph, that stupid guy. Don’t worry about him, for the next two hours he will be pretty fucked up so I think he won’t mind. Besides you really look great in this and you shouldn’t listen to what this idiot says.” Ruby waved her hand like she was swatting away some not very important thing away and Gabi rose her brows at that.

“So it’s true what Leo told me, that you two went to the wine cellar and got drunk?”

“Yup, the thing is though I have a pretty hard head, even for a werewolf. And that fucker… well he was in here quite some time ago so he got out of shape.” At that the memories of what happened a few days ago crossed her mind and she remembered their encounter in the library. Her heart picked up its rate and she felt heat crawling upon her. Her only hope was that they weren’t going to be alone, so there might be a chance he won’t pounce on her.

“Tell me one thing” Ruby started, making her come out of her haze “are you afraid of him?” her smile disappeared and suddenly Gabi felt that the answer will weirdly decide about their future relations.

“I was at first. But after some time, I realized I was going to lose myself if I gave in. So now I’m trying to stand up and fight.” She decided to be fully sincere with the other woman. Ruby’s face was dark for a few seconds, but then she once more smiled her cocky smile and patted her on the shoulder.

“I hope you won’t give up. I have a weird feeling you will be a good opponent for him and I’m up for the fun.”

“Weirdly that lifted me up a little.” She returned the smile.

“Good. That fucker needs someone to kick some sense into him or else he’s going to end up alone like an old grumpy fart.”

“I have a feeling that you would be the perfect person to do that.” Gabi laughed. Right now, they were once more walking through the labyrinth of corridors on their way to the dining room. Suddenly the smile on Ruby’s face died down a little.

“I wish I could. But he won’t listen to us.”

“I suppose you won’t tell me why’s that?” Gabi sighed when silence was her response.

“He has to do it by himself.”

“I doubt he will ever do this.”

“So, you have to make him do it.” Gabi wanted to retort that she didn’t exactly planned on doing so but she bit her tongue. Ruby seemed to really like Dante, even if she called him names. No wonder, as they appeared to be quite good friends with Leo too. She decided she can’t let her guard down. They were still on his side.

Dining room was a big room located at the center of the mansion. It not only had a huge table that could possibly dine at least 20 people, but also a part for relax, with armchairs, sofas and a big fireplace between them. Gabi couldn’t spot any electronic devices around, as if the owner of the place wanted to make sure that the inhabitants of the mansion could focus here only on the food and each other’s company. At the end of the table there were already prepared 4 settings, neatly laid out between all of the beautifully smelling dishes.

Gabi gasped in surprise, seeing that the central place on the table was taken by a vase with her bouquet of asters.

“He remembered.” She whispered to herself, but of course Ruby heard her.

“Believe it or not but that idiot didn’t even say hello to me before dragging me outside and demanding to bring him a vase.” Although she sounded a little huffed, a smile could be seen on her lips. Gabi also smiled in her direction.

“Thank you.”

The air in the mansion wasn’t cold, but it was still a little bit chilly. With a satisfied sigh Gabi went up to the open fireplace and almost purred with pleasure when it slowly started to crawl up under her skin, warming up her whole body. The feeling was so comforting she almost forgot where she was and she unconsciously let her guard down a little.

She didn’t notice when a big, tall figure loomed behind her, standing only a few inches away from her own body. Only when she felt the hot, whisky breath on her ear and a low raspy voice she noticed someone joined them in the room.

“I see you insist on being naughty, mia Luna.” She shivered and gasped loudly at that, feeling like thousands of small sparks started to come down through her whole body from the point just below her ear, where right now his lips were touching her lightly.

“Thank you for remembering about the flowers.” She whispered with jolty voice, hoping that the change of topic would distract him.

“No problem, tesoro.” Her legs involuntarily shook at the word, even if she didn’t know it’s meaning. Dante said it with such passion and desire that it took her back for a second, melting all of her insides. “But you see, I fulfilled my promise, yet you still chose to act against me and make me angry. Why?” you freaking liar, she thought to herself trembling. You’re not angry but totally turned on. She couldn’t suppress the shaky breath that came out of her mouth when he came even closer, making her lean on his muscled torso. Gabi shivered when something big and hard made her curve her back a little, squeezing her ass even more into his body. She heard his possessive growl and when a pair of big, strong hands rested on her hips, starting to play with the hems of her dress, slowly pulling it up in a playful manner, she knew she had to say something, otherwise they would end up having sex right here and now, not caring if someone was watching them.

“I didn’t want to make you angry. I thought you would like it.” She answered with trembling voice, trying to focus on the fire as to not get lost in his intimate, delicate touches. Dante lowered his head even more, resting it on her shoulder. His lips were grazing her neck lightly with his every breath and she gulped loudly. One of his fingers decided to leave the hem of the dress alone and go under it, subtly changing its direction more east, to her inner thigh.

“Oh? And why you thought I would like it?” he whispered with his raspy breath, teasing her even more by slowly and seductively licking the sensitive skin on her neck. His lone finger under her dress was joined by another two, creating goosebumps on her whole body. This time she couldn’t help and let out a quiet whimper. It seemed to satisfy him as he growled once more and a playful smirk rose on his lips.

“I’m still waiting for my answer, tesoro.”

“B-because it has long sleeves and my chest is covered too.” After a few long seconds she was finally able to answer him. This time Gabi let out a little moan when once more he licked her neck and she had to lay her head on his shoulder, because she felt like passing out soon from the pleasure.

“You forgot about your legs though.” He bit her neck harshly drawing a few drops of blood, but weirdly the sharp pain produced even more pleasure in her body and Gabi couldn’t help but push into his body once more, moaning this time louder. She felt his pulsating groin on her lower back and while her mind was successfully becoming blank, she wanted nothing more than to just put her hand behind her and tease him too.

His other hand joined the other one under the material, deciding to leave the fabric alone for now and roam over her skin in circular motions, coming with each circle closer to her hot and wet core.

“Why did you forget about your legs, pretty baby?” she whined when he took his lips away but moaned in the next second when he bit her once again, and his hands gripped her tights tightly. She was sure they were going to leave a mark, but right now she didn’t care. His obvious teasing was turning her on so much she felt like bursting out just from this. When his bite marks started to go up her neck and became even stronger, she knew he won’t stop before she answers him.

“You were angry the last time I wore shorts to the training, so I thought it would please you that I wanted to show them off only for you this time.” She whispered breathless. Like hell it was true, but at that moment she didn’t want anything else besides his lips, hands and his dick. Her reason was nowhere to be found, changed by pure lust and wanting of her wolf. Hearing her answer, he growled even louder with satisfaction and once more he nuzzled his face in her neck, making her tremble and moan at the sensation of his hot tongue on her skin and his sharp teeth grazing her skin. His hands once more started their journey up her legs and between them, and she couldn’t help but open her legs a little more as to lead them on.

“You naughty, naughty girl. My girl.” She felt his raspy voice on her skin and she let out a mewl.

Just then someone grunted loudly with amusement in the background, and Gabi felt her body freeze in fear. Oh my god, they forgot where they were. She felt how her cheeks flamed, and it had nothing to do with the fire. Quickly detangling herself from Dante’s embrace she jumped to the side, earning a dissatisfied grunt from him and a low angry growl directed towards Leo, who right now was standing with Ruby by the door with big stupid grins on their faces.

“Get the fuck lost.” He spat out menacingly and once more went up to Gabi, prisoning her in his arms and once more hiding his face in the crook of her neck, earning an embarrassed scowl from her, but it didn’t seem to faze him.

“We would gladly do it, but dinner’s waiting and we’re really hungry. And from what I can see, you two also seem to be.” He wiggled his brows suggestively not breaking the eye contact with Gabi, who was becoming more and more flustered with the whole situation. She trembled when Dante bit her once more, dissatisfied with the fact that she was not giving him any attention, but she quickly this time came to her senses.

“Alpha, let’s go and eat. I’m really hungry.” She whispered to his ear and finally he lifted his head up, looking at her closely. Just then another thing hit her. His eyes didn’t turn red only when he was angry – they were like that also when his lust was taking over him. The red was swirling in them, mesmerizing her along with his luscious scent and a low rumble that still was forming in his chest. His eyes were still misted with lust and alcohol, but slowly his sober self was coming forth. The most disturbing part whatsoever was that she liked the fact that she was the reason for this state of his.

“Please.” She tried once more, seeing that he was taking too long to answer her. Finally, he growled unhappy and let her go from his arms.

“Let’s go eat. But if you don’t eat what I give you, we’ll talk in a different manner.” This time she decided to play it politely with him and she silently nodded her head going up to the table. She still felt her cheeks burning, because unconsciously she knew of what kind of “talk” he was thinking.
