Chapter 103
Chapter 103 Caden’s POV I’ve been awake for the past half hour and I’ve spent all that time studying my mate’s face. The pain that’s usually etched on it when she’s sleeping is now gone. A result of her healed injuries. A soft smile graces her lips like she’s having a sweet dream and I suddenly wish that werewolves also possess telepathic skills. Does it make me conceited if I assume that I’m the reason she’s having such a peaceful sleep? If that smile isn’t caused by the fact that we had another round a few hours ago, then it will definitely be because of the sixty-nine we had a couple of minutes back. Alessia is insatiable and I’m more than happy to take care of her needs. Her heat is over but that doesn’t mean that we can’t keep having these stolen moments together. Her eyes flutter open, her amber eyes shining brightly. They flick to the window behind me and widen in surprise, effectively shattering the moment. She jerks up on the bed. “We missed dinner!” She groans, falling back on the bed and dragging her hands down her face. This performance can’t simply be because we missed dinner. “It’s ok,” I say anyway, gripping her hand and pulling it away from her face. It’s a crime to keep such a beautiful face hidden. “I’m sure that there’s some leftovers in the fridge. I’ll go down later and get something for us to eat.” “It’s not that.” She sits up straight and I’m having a hard time concentrating as my eyes slide down to her breasts which are bouncing from all the movement. “Then what is the issue?” I force myself to keep my gaze above her neck. “We both didn’t show up for dinner and I’m sure they know that we didn’t step out of the pack house. Everyone is going to know what we’ve been doing,” she ends with another groan. So that’s where her predicament is coming from. I’m too much of a gentleman to tell her that the entire pack house probably heard her screaming my name. Countless times.
“Is that such a bad thing?” The words are out before I can rethink them. “What?” She asks, finally turning her focus on me. “Is that such a bad thing?” I repeat, taking hold of her hand again. “I honestly don’t care if my pack members find out that we’re mated.” Her brows shoot up. I continue. “In fact, I haven’t cared about them for a long while.” A pause. “Move in with me. My pack members and the rumors can go to hell for all I care.”

A lot of chances to do a lot of things.” I make sure my voice is dripping with innuendo. There’s no way for her to miss what I’m implying. My hands slide up her arm and I can barely keep my smirk concealed as she shivers. The effect I have on her might just work in my favor. “What do you say?” Cupping her face, I caress her cheek with my thumb, stopping at the edge of her lips and tracing that pouty mouth. G o d, the things that mouth has done to me. As if on cue, my c oc k stiffens under the cover, begging to join in on the action. Alessia just needs to accept my offer and then we can move on to other fun things. Things that will leave both of us very worn out but also sated. All she has to do is say-
“No.” The wheels in my head come to a halt as I try to wrap my head around her one-word answer. It doesn’t sound anything like the answer I wanted. “No?” I echo, wondering if I somehow heard her wrong. “I don’t think it will be a good idea for us to move in together,” she expands. My finger stops tracing her lips and my hand falls from her face to my side. Of course, this scenario did cross my mind, I’m not that conceited- but I never actually expected it. We’re both relaxed from living in our cocoon and away from the outside world. In short, I expected a yes. “I think we’re moving too fast and need to move things back a notch.” She inches back, making a literal translation of her words. “We’re fated mate and we just found out that our existence has basically been entwined for years.” “It doesn’t mean that we need to start living in each other’s space,” she bites out, a frown settling on her face. A totally different look from the peaceful look she had on while sleeping. “It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t,” I counter lamely, hearing how dumb I sound even to my ears. If the universe is trying to get us to be together, then who are we to try to stop it? I know how to read the signs and I’m not trying to get struck down by lightning by going against the universe’s wishes. “A few weeks ago, you didn’t want anyone to know we’re mates and now, you want to mark me and have me move in with you.” She pauses, shaking her head. “I can’t handle the drastic changes. It’s giving me whiplash.” I know I turned over a whole new leaf, but I’m tired of fighting off my attractions. I tried to do it for months and look where it landed us. Alessia was nearly killed and we lost a valuable member of our pack. “What changed you?” She asks, her eyes running over my body. She mustn’t have found what she was looking for because her gaze goes back to mine with that confusion still intact. “Why did you change your mind about us?”
