Cobi’s p. o. v
I dressed up with a low sigh while thinking about the alpha’s next move.
What was he going to do with Jason?. Cut him to pieces?. Rip his throat open?. Burn him alive, perhaps torture him for a very long time?.
Either way, I wanted that disrespectful bastard to suffer.
When a knock came at the door, I smiled happily. I could inhale my mate’s scent before even seeing her.
“Come in, Beca.” I answered then quickly looked at myself in the mirror.
I was in a dark, blue, ripped jeans. White shirt with two first buttons undone and sleeves pulled up. My wet hair was brushed backward with my fingers.
Immediately she walked in I turned to face her.
She wore a beautiful sunflower dress with her hair pulled up, she really was so beautiful.
“Morning Beta, I…..”
“Beta?” I asked with a raised brow.
She kept quiet for a second then took in a long breath and released it.
“Cobi.” She whispered as a smile formed across my face.
I moved closer and stood in front of her.
“Why aren’t we sharing a bed?” I asked huskily while I lifted my hand and pressed it on her cheek.
She gazed into my eyes and kept staring without a word.
She was so easy to read and I loved that about her a lot.
I leaned in and kissed her lips lightly. I was about to pull back when she moved her hands and curved her arms around my neck.
I smirked and waited for her to take the first step.
She tiptoed and pressed her soft lips against mine.
Damon and I were very satisfied with her. After her acceptance, we decided to give her some time and space alone, that’s why we took another room and tried to respect her feelings. Yes, we wanted to mate, fuck and knot her badly but we couldn’t. We didn’t want her to be afraid of us. That’s why we chose not to force her to do something that she didn’t want to.
I kissed her back and this time thrust my tongue between her parted lips. My arms went around her waist as I pulled her closer, closing the tiny space between us.
“Cobi.” Cole’s voice came through our mind link.
I hesitantly pulled back while cursing silently. She was staring at me with a frown.
“I’m sorry, I can’t continue even if I want to.” I whispered huskily.
She put her hands together and lowered her gaze.
“Is it because I didn’t agree to you marking me and us mating?” She asked surprising me.
“You aren’t ready,” I answered softly despite it not being the reason I had pulled back.
“I just wanted to know you better before us mating.” She said sadly.
I moved my hand to her chin and made her look at me.
“And I’m okay with that. Right now I can’t stay with you because the alpha wants to see me. But once I’m done with my tasks, I will kiss your sweet lips for as long as you want.” I answered then leaned in and kissed her cheek lightly.
“Stay put, don’t move around. Only a few of my men know about you. Some don’t, because I haven’t officially introduced you yet. As respectful as the men here are towards their fellow men, they don’t respect women easily.” I warned then walked out of the room.
“Morning alpha, I’m on my way.” I answered through our mind link as I walked out of the pack house.
“I’m in the dungeon.” He said.
“Okay,” I answered then walked towards dungeons.
When I walked in, I picked up the thick scent of blood.
I went to the cell and walked in. Jason was laying on bloody ground breathing heavily with his eyes looking drowsy.
His mouth was badly bleeding and his nose as well. His upper naked body had a lot of red bruises and dark clots.
“Yes alpha,” I answered in a respectful tone.
“This bastard is weaker than I thought. That dosage of wolfsbane is killing him. Call our pack’s doctor to come and take a look at him. There is just no way I’m letting him die so easily.” He said.
“Yes alpha,” I answered then turned and walked out of the place.
I couldn’t understand why he sent me to call for a Dr when he could have just mind-linked her. Moreover, why was he trying to help that bastard who almost killed him in the past?.
“Bet….. Cobi.” Beca called ahead. She was standing near the pack house entrance.
I sighed loudly then walked to where she was.
“Beca, didn’t I tell you to stay put?” I asked softly then touched her cheek gently.
“I… I’m sorry, it’s just that I felt hungry and wanted to cook something for you as well as myself. I’m tired of eating food cooked by someone else.” She whispered as I smiled.
She really was so beautiful and considerate.
“Dr, the alpha requests your presence in the dungeon now. He has a sick prisoner that needs treatment from a wolfsbane overdose.” I mind-linked her.
“Right away beta.” She answered before closing the mind link.
“Let’s go,” I said as I grabbed her hand and walked with her inside.
I was going against the alpha’s orders yet again, but I just couldn’t say no to my mate.
We walked into the kitchen and stood.
“Feel free to use anything.” I said softly.
She quickly let go of my hand and rushed to the fridge to open it.
“Oh wow.” She whispered when her eyes landed on the full fridge.
“The women here cook and shop in this pack.” I said seriously then moved, pulled out a chair from the table, and sat down.
She turned and faced me with a serious expression.
“I will be the one cooking for you from today onwards.” She said as Damon huffed in approval.
“Is that jealous I hear from you mate?” I asked with a raised brow.
“Am I not allowed to feel that way towards my mate and man?” She asked back.
Mate?. Man?. Did she even know what impact her words held?.
I stood up and walked to her with a wide smile.
“You are allowed to feel that a thousand times.” I whispered then leaned in and kissed her forehead.
When I pulled back I sighed softly.
She closed the fridge and touched my cheek gently.
“Cobi what’s wrong?” She asked in concern.
“Nothing,” I answered.
“Hey, what’s wrong.” She asked again and this time I chose to give in.
“It’s just that we have a prisoner in the dungeon and his the alpha’s …..”
“You sure have guts, deliberately ignoring my direct orders. Do you have a death wish?” Alpha Cole’s voice came from behind.
I turned and looked at him sadly. I could tell that he was so furious.
