Mated To The Alpha: A Standalone Wolf Shifter Romance, стр. 11
He felt her flittering around his wolf's consciousness, so he stopped on the trail and concentrated on calling out to her.
"Mine!"
His wolf howled the word out to her before he could decide how to try to reach her. He felt her respond. It almost felt like she was running toward him, which was impossible. He felt her still sleeping in her bed.
His wolf knew it was possible, and called out to her again.
Galen was shocked to hear her respond, even as his wolf rejoiced.
"Mine!"
The word echoed in the halls of her dreams. Kate knew his voice, instinctively. It was Galen, and he was calling her.
She tried to respond. She looked for him, chasing the echo around dark corners, picking up speed, running faster and faster toward the voice, the word, that called to her very soul.
"Where are you?" she yelled out her answering call as she ran blindly, taking corner after corner in her dream.
"Come. Come to me, now, and I will make you mine!"
"I'm trying. I can't find you!"
"My wolf has claimed you as ours. Your wolf blood is too thin, I can barely feel the thread of you. I want to feel more of you. I need to claim all of you."
She turned a corner in her mind, and barreled directly into Galen's waiting arms.
"You. You are why I've been unable to claim a mate."
He said the words with her wrapped in his arms. His hands buried themselves in her dark hair, soothing her as she caught her breath, half petting her, and half restraining himself from closing the thick mass of her hair in his fist and yanking her head back to sink his teeth in her throat.
"I want to mark you for all the pack to see, as my mate. I want to sink my cock deeply into you, as my teeth claim you. I know my time is coming. I will be Alpha soon. I'd always heard that my wolf would decide my mate, but it hadn't. My time of Alpha draws near, so I tried to force it. I've tried to decide on the logical best choice to sit beside me when I am Alpha, but none felt right. Then you showed up."
He kissed her then, hard. His mouth teased against hers, demanding entrance.
She opened her mouth to his, willingly, eager.
His tongue slid between her lips, tasting her, testing her. His hand wandered, passionate and demanding, yanking up her nightgown and finding, squeezing her ass.
She moaned her needs against his lips as he used his grip on her ass to pull her tighter to him. She felt his hardness against her stomach, and it released something inside her. This was her destiny, to become one with this man.
She ached to get closer to him, to touch him, to feel him touch her. Her hands roamed over his hard muscles, exploring, trying to take him all in. Finding her way to his face, she cupped it in her hands, reveling in the longing she saw in his eyes.
She reached up, gripping a handful of his hair and pulling his mouth down hard again on hers. She wrapped a bare leg around his waist, not caring that the hem of her nightgown slid high. Wanton need drove every proper thought from her mind. All she wanted was for him to make her his.
"I tried to get to you earlier, but my mother cornered me. It's probably a good thing, or I'd have claimed you for all to see, right there beside the bonfire. The pack would have understood, but you might not have."
He said the words as his hand wandered farther south. He had been cupping her ass, but when she'd wrapped her leg around him, his fingers slid lower, following her sweet curves. Down, down, sliding over her panties and between her legs. He teased the moist heat he found there, his fingers seeking to slide between her lips.
He was blocked by the thin fabric of her panties, but he could feel her need seeping through them as he danced his fingertips back and forth, teasing her wet slit through the damp fabric.
A sudden surge of need flowed through her at the thought of him taking her like he’d mentioned, right there, down in the dirt, beside the campfire. Beside Emma. Beside Elam. In front of everyone.
"Do you want me as much as I want you?"
"Yes!" She panted the word, her mind still picturing herself rutting in the dirt, in public, with a man she had only met for an instant, as his fingers teased her opening and drove her to distraction.
"You feel it, too? You will be mine? You will be an Alpha's mate, for now and for always?"
"Yes! Oh yes!"
"Then come to me. Now! And claim what is yours!"
She woke with a start, sitting up in bed, in a tangle of blankets, as if she really was headed somewhere. The echo of his words haunted her, making her ache with need.
"Wow. What the hell? That was hot."
Naughty, needy thoughts filled her head as her breathing tried to slow itself from her heated dream. She had been this close to cumming, from his fingers alone. Over her panties. In a dream.
She tried to control her thoughts, wondering if the surreal environment and her stressful day had fed the fantasies that had filled her dreams.
She lay back in the bed, still panting, her fingers sliding closer to her own sex, in a sudden need to finish herself to thoughts and images from her dream.
"Come to me, mine!"
The words burst forth in her brain, shocking her with both the heated need she felt in the words, and in the fact that she could still hear the voice she had heard in her dream.
Before she could deny the instinct, before she could tell herself that she was flipping insane to think it
