I woke with a start as | felt a movement next to me. What the?!..... then | realised

it was Lilah, Wait, we fell asleep together....... Oh that has to be the best sleep ever.........I look down to her and

she is already looking up at me, her big blue eyes looking sleepy.

"Hmm | think we fell asleep...." She grinned.

"Hmm maybe, though that is probably the best sleep | have had in forever.... You may have to start sleeping with

your door locked sweet or you'll be having a bed buddy because you clearly helpsleep” | tease.

She laughs "I'll bear that in mind. I'm not afraid to bite you know?" she joked.

"Ooohh really? | have a spot right here you could bite....." | joke pointing to the point on my neck where my mate

mark should go......my joke obviously didn't go as planned as she looked a little

awkward.

Oohh class comedian! Dick head! She seemed quite happy to wake with you and now you made it

awkward...

"Sorry Lilah, | was teasing" | say.

She just smiled before saying "Do we have to go work today?"

Oh crap, | hadn't even thought of that, there is stuff that needs doing at work, but with what happened last night

| need to be here and cup with a plan....

"I'll speak to Jake" | tell her " you sweet are withtoday and no we are not going to the office, we are working

from h- what will be your new hvery soon"

She looks to"You still want to helpdespite everything | told you?" she asked.

Was she really still scared about this? Had they really broken her this bad?

"Lilah, | plan to do more than help you..." she looked puzzled "we will fix this, | will keep you safe, you will have a

new pack to helpdo that, you can be happy, | promise"

The relief on her face was evident "Thank you"

"See I'm not such a big bad Alpha" | teased.

She giggled "Well of all the big bad Alphas to walk into the bar that night, I'm glad

it was you

| pulled her close toagain, resting my head on top of hers, taking in the scent of her.... The overpowering

mint candy cane scent mixed with sweet caramel and vanilla made her smell good enough to eat..... a scent |

don't think I'd ever tire of......especially now she wouldn't need to hide it from me.........wait....what's that?.. | can

smell something else..... ohhhh goddess......she may not realise the scent coming from her to my nose was

signalling her arousal, while she was doing such a good job of hiding it, she clearly was oblivious to how strong

that scent could be, especially to a

mate.......

She wants me..... she wantsinside | was doing an internal dance, but knew | couldn't act on it, | told her |

wouldn't pressure her. That in itself is proving difficult considering the ever protruding bulge straining in your

pants spearing her big man, | thought to myself.

"I'll only be big and bad if you askto sweet" | found myself almost purring at her. She giggled again and it

was the sweetest sound to me. | planned to do everything in my power to make sure she was safe and could

finally be happy again, know what it felt to be loved the right way......

Knox, all ok? Jake linked me. Shit, | forgot to sort stuff out....... You weren't at the office or at the cars to go, went

to your room and you weren't there......tried calling you dude and you weren't answering.

Sorry man, all good, is a long story, | will explain more later. Look can you doa favour dude and go the office,

let them know we will be a few days delayed, wrap things up best you can between you and get back here asap?

| link straight back so he knows I'm ok.

Yeah no worries. One more issue though dude, Lilah ain't in the office, not been able to contact her

either, bit worried ab..

She's with| interrupted him mid link.

Oooooohh really?! He linked back, | don't know how he managed to get innuendo and dirtiness though a link but

he did jeez he's a tool.

Ha-ha, tool. Yeah, I'll explain once you're back. But Lilah is ok, just sstuff we need to sort..... | link back to

Jake, while smiling at Lilah, hoping she can tell from my expression | am mind linking.

No worries, is everything ok though?

Yeah just snew developments shall we say | link.

Not giving more away than that, wanting to speak in person to my friends about all

of this to get their reactions, and their opinions and advice. | know they all think Lilah is great, they were all as

desperate

asto help her and | think when they find out the things | now knew it would only make them more

determined to help her. Let alone the fact she is potentially their new Luna, that in itself would make them be

willing to do anything to help her.....but | couldn't tell her that as it would freak her out.

Guessing | got to wait for them? I'll be going then and let you get back to whatever or is it whoever you're doing?

Jake linked with a big chuckle before he cut the link.

"Sorry sweet Jake was checking about work so | told him to go in tell the company we are working with we are

likely to be delayed a few days, shouldn't be a issue, we were ahead of schedule anyway, told him to get things

in order as best they can and get back here, then we will all speak together" | explained.

"Ok" she looked atnervously "they're going to think bad ofaren't they?"

"Look sweet | can't say what they'll think, obviously we are brought up not to trust witches, as I am sure you

were to, so you know what you did was risky, | get why you did it, but it was still risky, but the fact | am ok with it

should mean they are too, our main thing is you are ok and that we help you......" I sighed" and when they find

out you're my mate they're going to want to help us even more"

"Knox..." she began

"I know....! | cut her off, kissing her gently on her head before she toldyet again she didn't want

1. me.

That scent toldotherwise.....maybe not as a mate but she was wanting me........Knight was screaming in my

head for his mate, clearly sensing the sthing | was.... This could prove harder than | thought......

"You're angry" she sat up, moving away fromto the edge of the bed, now | was able to see more light

bruising across her back that | hadn't seen earlier.

This madeeven more angry about what we had spoken about and more determined to help her....i sat up,

running my hands through my hair, my eyes falling to the curves of her body as she sat

on the edge of the bed, she looks scared, | need to fix this.....

up,

i knelt

and reached for her, grabbing her gently, a hand either side of her waist and lifted

her gently, she squealed slightly as | raised her up and flipped her so she was laid flat on the bed, | was now

above her looking down at her, her long blond hair sprayed out across the dark bedding like a

halo.

"How could | be mad at you?" leant down and kissed her lips gently before moving

to stand up and allow her to get up out of the bed.

As | moved my leg to the floor to stand she slid her leg and had hooked it through

mine in such a way

"What you going to do now big bad Alpha?" she grinned looking down at me

proudly.

Quite honestly I didn't want to do anything, | was quite happy to let her stay exactly where she was, sat on top of

me, her muscly thighs either side of my own thighs, her beautiful body on display toand | had a perfect view

from where | was, besides | was quite proud of my girl pinning me. | had to fight the urges into pull her to
