Chapter 137 

Raizel wasn’t even looking at me. He was staring off over me, probably trying to restrain his wolf from acting out. His desire to protect and honor me the only clear thought in his mind. 

“But I’ve made it abundantly clear I don’t want him.” 

Raizel says nothing to that. He’s trying to read me for any bluff or lie that would suggest the opposite of what I was saying. When he finds none, he closes his eyes. He takes in a lengthy breath, pressing his forehead against my own in a way to calm himself. 

“What do you want?” 

The sudden question leaves me breathless. My gaze drops to his lips as the heat starts to spread through me again. The raw emotion this man manages to pull from the inner crevices of my heart never fails to amaze me. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. 

Though, admittedly, theres not much I could compare this to. This feeing of affection and overwhelming warmness is unprecedented. 

“You know the answer to that…” 

I mumble, curling my fingers into his shirt. A wicked glint swirls in his eyes as he stares down at me. 

“No. I don’t. You’ll have to refresh my memory.” 

I bite my inner lip, feeling a bucket of embarrassment drench over me at his request. I have the sudden urge to smack the beginnings of a grin right off his face. 

Or kiss it off. 

I press my lips to his. He doesn’t waste any time to take control, sliding his fingers through my hair- to tilt my head up. The earlier fear, anxiety, and relief all bundled up with this easy show of

By the time we pull away, I’m nearly drunk on him. I frown. 

“You play dirty.” 

The answering smile he gives me is one without shame.

Rolling my eyes, I was about to lean down once more to kiss his annoyingly attractive face when the door springs open. It had been so quick I was almost surprised it hadn’t flung from the hinges. Sitting up without really processing I was straddling the Alpha, I look to the intruder and feel my eyes widen. I should’ve sensed him but I was too distracted by the man under me to notice. His scent completely overpowered anyone elses and now, sitting here with this man feeling no ounce of shame. I begin to regret a few of my life choices. 

One being that I forgot to lock the door. 

Raizel’s hand falls to my hip, gripping tight but his head turns to where I was looking. Panting and heaving heavily by the door with one hand clutching onto the door knob was none other than my Gamma, Isaac. 

“Wha–when–you–he-” 

His eyes dart between Raizel and I and then fall to where his hands laid, 

“W–what’s going on here?” 

Noah and the others were quick to follow, all of them stopping dead in their tracks behind Isaac when they take in the scene in front of them. Meredith’s eyes widen, a hand falling to her mouth as a small

Needless to say that I’ve never been in a more embarrassing situation like this. I don’t have the heart to look at Noah when I can feel the smugness through our bond. I have no doubt in my mind that he’s staring down at me with that little smirk of his followed by him folding his arms across his chest. 

“Well, then. I guess Nate wasn’t that far off when he mentioned little Bloodhounds.”

“Wh–huh? 

Isaac stands there gaping, eyes frantically searching mine in panic. I feel the anxiety his wolf is giving out, utter fear and nervousness for me and the pack 

What’s going on here?

He asked again, darting his gaze to Raizel. His tense body relaxes when he senses no aggression. from either of us. His wolf, calming just the tiniest bit at the realization. Sitting here on top of the man responsible for many interesting dreams, I look across everyone’s faces and slowly try to slide off of him only to have my attempt forcefully denied with the firm hold of Raizel’s hands on my hips. I raise a questioning brow. 

“No.” 

Is his one word reply. Like a child who refused to share. 

It shouldn’t be endearing. I shouldn’t find it cute, but I do. I return my focus on Isaac. 

Wait. 

Isaac. 

“What are you doing here?” 

I asked, suddenly all too aware of the fact that he’s not supposed to be here. He’s still supposed to be with Cade, not here in Greyhound. Still, I can’t deny that I’m happy to get my Gamma back. 

“I- Alpha Cade allowed my leave and it was supposed to be a surprise but”
