C4 CHAPTER 4

NATHANIEL POINT OF VIEW

I stare at the woman before me, how odd to find your mate in a bar, while trying to have a one-night stand. She is short, brown beautiful eyes, and God, her lips.

I bend, and carry her, pressing her back against the wall, biting my lips when she rubs against me. I make sure she stands, then I kneel, trying to stop myself from overthinking. I press my lips over her center, placing my palm on her stomach to hold her in place.

“Oh God, Christian.” She moans, but I don’t stop my ministrations.

I lick, and suck, and lick, again. Slowly, I slide one finger inside her, then two, but she tenses, and I pull away.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, please fuck me.” She says, and I almost lose my mind.

I carry her beautiful ass in my hands, press her against the wall, and align at her center. Carefully, I press in, and she winces, in pain?

“Lily?”

She looks away, and I groan, needing to place her down, this is a mistake, I can’t be her first. I drop my hand from her hips, but she crosses her legs around my ass, pulling me closer.

“I don’t care, you shouldn’t too, it’s just sex.” She says, running her hands through my hair, kissing me softly.

‘You’re my mate, it is not just sex.” I say.

“If you don’t, I will find someone else.” She says, and I growl, fuck no.

Carefully, I feed her my cock, running my hand over her clit, massaging it carefully, while also taking her nipple in my mouth, anything to make her feel less pain.

“Oh God.” She groans when I fully in.

“Okay?” I ask, and she nods, whimpering.

“So fucking good, please don’t stop.” She groans when I move.

We spend the entire night fucking against the wall, in bed, in the shower, on the floor, and against the window. When I wake, she is gone, she left a fucking note – it was good, I am really sore. See you never. Lilliana.

__

I avoided The Golden Claw Pack because I wasn’t ready, that was why I drove to the neighboring city to get wasted, but now, I am in front of their Alpha’s mansion.

“She sounds witty.” Roman says, staring at the note.

“I’ll find her. She is my mate, and she left the morning after. Fuck that. I’ll turn the whole city upside down to find her.

“Let’s focus here first, then I will help you find Lilliana.” He says, and I nod.

“Lilliana? What do you want with Lilliana?” Idiot Collin, the Alpha’s son overhears us, and walks with his side piece?

“No one was talking to you, motherfucker.” I say, and he blanches.

“You know Lilliana?” Roman asks, and I pretend not to listen.

“Yeah, she owns the bookshop.” He says, blushing a little, and I almost go feral.

“Oh, shit, you mean, the woman you rejected last night, I got Lake’s books and flowers there.”

“You rejected your Mate?” I say to Collin and he shrugs.

“For her?” I point to Raye, because who doesn’t know her.

“Tell your father meeting’s been postponed again, because of his idiot son.” I spit, then walk away, to that fucking Bookshop.

___

“She probably isn’t yours. She was his mate.” Roman says, and I nod, because there’s no way she could have been my mate if she was Collin’s.

He opens the door, and we walk in, taking in the bookshop, it is cute, Lily wasn’t cute, she was feral.

“Hello, what can I – Oh Fuck.”

I stare at her, she is dressed in a blue sundress, a really fucking short one.

“Lilliana.” I say, and she rolls her eyes at me. Did she just do that?

“This is golden.” Roman laughs, and I glare at him.

“Fuck off, Christian.” She says, and Roman eyes widen.

“Do you need something darling?” She asks him, and I bite my lips.

“No, I’ll take the car. You fucked up the rules.” He says to her, directing the last part to me.

In a matter of seconds, it’s just us. She looks so beautiful, and so different from last night.

“Do you need something, Christian?” She asks, looking up from the books she is arranging.

“You left.” I say, she straightens, and I take a step closer.

“It was a one-night stand.” She shrugs.

I close the distance between us, I run my hands through her beautiful blonde hair, pressing a kiss on her neck, she clutches my shirt, drawing me closer.

“You’re in my head, mate. I don’t know how it is possible, I want to sink into you, and never leave.” I say, placing her on the desk, raising her dress, pulling down her panties to find her blissfully wet.

“All for me.” I bite her lips, running my tongue over hers, she moans, wrapping her hands round my neck.

I pull down my trouser, and thrust into her, swallowing her scream.

__

She is glaring at me.

“What?” I muse.

“You are a fucking Lycan from Rhode Island, who fucked me bare countless times, I could be pregnant. You have to leave. This mate bond will fade the farther we are from each other.”

“No.” I snap, wanting nothing than to hear about her day.

“Please, Nate.” She says, and I look at her, nodding.

“I will never reject you, and I will come here till I go back.”

With that, I leave, but not before giving her a sweet kiss, that left her panting and wanting, making me smirk.

I spend the next couple of days patrolling the pack’s border, running investigation, checking for dangers, I have a strong motivation to keep this pack safe, for Lilliana.

I spend my evenings at her place, in her office, with my head between her legs, or standing behind her. I tried to convince her multiple times to come home with me, but she doesn’t, so I leave, begrudgingly.
