Silver ignored her and kept on eating.
“Are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what I just said?” Beth growled at her.
“Everyone within a ten mile radius can hear you.” She finally replied to the fuming she wolf standing beside her.
“Then get up and get out of there. Those seats are reserved for the Alpha, and…”
“Let me guess, you?” Silver said with an amused smile.
“Yes. I’m the pack’s Beta.”
“So I’ve heard.” She replied, but still didn’t stand up.
“Don’t make me move you myself.” Beth said, and Silver’s smile widened.
“I’d like to see you try.”
Beth made a move to grab Silver, but a hand held her back.
“Sit somewhere else Beth. There’s nothing special about the table. Even if there was, she’s our guest.” Hayden said.
“Yes, Alpha.” Beth said as she glared at Silver, then moved to join a few others at their table.
Silver thought Hayden would sit with her, but he walked to another table next to where Beth sat.
She ignored them all and focused on devouring her meal. She ate an extra plate before she stood and walked to the counter.
“The meal was amazing mama, thank you.” Silver kissed her two cheeks.
“A few more days being fed like this, and I’ll be too big to pass through the door.” She said as she stretched, and the older she wolf laughed.
The long sleeved top she wore went up as she stretched, and Hayden’s eyes were glued to the skin it revealed, the curve of her waist that disappeared into the jeans she wore. Even when she stopped stretching and stood, conversing with mama, he still stared.
He had been avoiding being caught looking at her, so he forced himself to not look in her direction while they ate. But he was so aware of her like she was right next to him. Now that he was looking at her, he just couldn’t stop himself.
He wasn’t the only one looking at her, and he wanted to growl at them all to stop ogling her, but he had no claim to her. No one else here but the two of them knew they were mates, which was his fault.
“What do you think, Alpha Hayden?”
His attention snapped back to the table when he heard his name. Apparently, a conversation had been going on that he heard approximately 0. 00% of.
“What do I think of what?” Hayden asked.
“You seriously heard nothing we just talked about?” Carl asked.
“No, I was thinking of the recent developments, and possible solutions.” Hayden said, and only Beth knew that it was a lie because she had been watching him while his attention had been focused on Silver.
“Good night Mama.” Silver said, and went up. She opened her door, but instead of going in, she turned to Hayden’s door.
‘go in.’ her wolf said to her.
“I don’t think he’ll like that.” she replied to her wolf.
‘well, he’s been doing things we don’t like since we got here, so who cares what he thinks.’ her wolf said.
‘You’re right.” she said and opened Hayden’s door, it was unlocked. Wolves usually respected each other’s privacy, so they hardly ever locked their doors.
His room was designed with a blend of rich dark shades. It had a king sized bed, and it basically looked like the room she had been given, but a bit bigger, and more lived in.
She went to his closet and sniffed his clothes. His scent made her body tingle. Then, she lay on his bed.
“He smells so good.”
‘because he’s our mate.’
“A mate that apparently wants nothing to do with us.” As she said that, her mood changed, and she left his room, and went back to hers.
When Hayden came up, he contemplated going up to her room, but he changed his mind. He knew that she wouldn’t want to see him. Immediately he opened his door, he caught a whiff of her scent, and immediately knew that she had been in his room. He wondered what she came in there to find.
He walked to his closet and touched the clothes that had a faint trace of her scent on them. Then he walked to his bed. Her scent was stronger there, so he knew that she had laid on it. He sniffed the sheets and groaned.
‘mate’ his wolf growled, and his body began to heat up so he took off his clothes and lay on the bed. He had been fighting his basic instincts to claim his mate, to sink into her body, and mark her with his teeth at the same time so everyone would know that she was his. He knew that the more he resisted, the more it would hurt till he was crazy with need. But, he just wasn’t ready to accept Silver, it felt like a betrayal to his first mate. His wolf on the other hand wasn’t as conflicted as he was, it wanted Silver.
Even now, as he lay on the same bed he had shared with his first mate, his wolf tortured him with images of Silver naked with her neck bared to him.
He groaned as he wrapped a hand around his erection and stroked himself. Then he bit his lip as he remembered that wolves had excellent hearing abilities, and he was in a house filled with them. He didn’t want anyone to know what he was doing. But he suddenly wondered what Silver’s reaction would be if she walked in on him, and caught him touching himself?
How would she react if she knew that it was her that he was thinking about while doing it?
What would she do if he went to her room right now, and showed her how hard he was for her?
Would she be angry? Or would she spread her legs, and welcome him into her body?
It was the thought of how good it would feel to be in her that took him over the edge.
