Shy, Scared, and Weak. I'm the Alpha's Mate.

Marked

"G-good, how was yours?" My voice already sounded breathless.

His green eye twinkled and his brown one seemed to ground him. I trailed away from his eyes and focused on his lips, they looked so inviting.

I licked mine nervously.

Then his lips found mine...

Damien's POV

When I kissed her Stone murmured happily. All week she had been torturing me by looking so sweet and delicate. We just wanted her for ourselves, we wanted Jillian to know that she was ours.

I kissed her greedily and angrily. I felt her hand rest on my chest and the other around my neck. She played with the hairs on my nape, causing me to growl.

It felt good for Jillian to not be frightened of me. She used to jump every time I spoke with her, but now she accepted me.

I nipped at her bottom lip, seeking passage into her mouth. But she never allowed it.

Don't be so stubborn, Jillian, I commented through our mind connection. I felt her tremor against me, and I pinned her against the wall.

You see, I have a hard time taking "no" for an answer.

Jillian. Warning was on my voice. I pulled her hair slightly and finally she got her sweet little mouth to open.

Aware of her nervousness, I gently slid my tongue into her mouth, which caused her to moan quietly.

It felt good that I was the cause of her pleasure and comfort, its all I wanted to do for her.

When we pulled away for air, I lost myself in her obsidian colored eyes. They were so dark I sometimes had a hard time telling if her wolf had taken control over her or not. My eyes dropped from hers and took in her flushed cheeks. My gaze soon drifted to her neck. My lips soon followed.

My wolf purred with anticipation when my lips rested on her pulse. Beating fast and rapidly.

A small smile tugged at my lips, I was the cause for her quickly beating heart.

I feathered little butterfly kisses down her neck untill I came to the spot my wolf so desperately wanted.

Her sent was strongest here, her sweet lemony smell made Stone bark at me to mark her.

Oh how I wanted to...

My gums ached as my canines grew out and gently grazed her with their sharp tips. Jillian gasped and tightened grip on my hair. She writhed against me, to counter I held her hips and pinned her to the wall more forcefully than before.

Just mark her already! Stone was becoming impatient.

My teeth were aimed in the proper place, ready to bite down...

"No"

I jerked up and looked into her back eyes. "Excuse me?"

"N-no." Jillian stuttered, "No you cannot mark me"

My wolf and I stared at her in shock as she wriggled out of our limp grasp and sat on the bed.

Once I got my bearings I looked after her, "Why?"

Jillian pulled a pillow into her lap and hugged it, "I don't know"

I crossed my arms, "That's not a good enough answer."

My wolf would pounce her and mark her in the blink of an eye if she didn't have a proper reason.

"I just don't want you to mark me." Her voice was quiet and fearful, she knew I was capable of getting what I wanted.

"What does your wolf think of that?" I interrogated.

Jillian looked guiltily up at me "Look, I want you to mark me-"

"Then I will" I started walking towards her.

"No! Not yet! Don't mark me yet." Jillian pulled the pillow up to hide her face.

"But your mine, and if I marked you everyone would know that" I looked into her eyes, they were filled with fear and caution.

"I know Damien. I understand" her head ducked involuntary.

"Then why won't you let me mark you?"

"Because!"

Anger boiled up inside me. Jillian shouldn't be scared of me or wary of me. We were meant to be together forever.

She's mine... Stone growled out and I felt the beginnings of a shift coming on.

I couldn't have that. I couldn't shift now, Stone would hurt her.

She would deserve it. We are alpha, she should respect us.

My hands tightned into fists, my claws started growing and were cutting my palm.

This is all her fault.

"WHY?! I WANT A REASON!"

I didn't even realize what I was doing untill the mounted TV was thrown across the room. But before I could apologize Jillian had run out, screaming.
