Amaras POV:

I woke up to the sound of the birds chirping and the sun hitting my face, I couldn't remember much last night it seemed like one big nightmare.

Except I could still feel Thomas arms around me, but was that a dream to? I wasn't sure, I looked around and frowned when I noticed the room seemed different than the one I had been staying in.

I began to sit up when I noticed weight on my waist, I lifted the comforter and seen a tan arm across it. My heart sped up, and the scream lodged in my throat when I heard a soft snore.

I couldn't resist, so I turned very carefully and was shocked seeing Thomas. What happened last night? Wasn't it all a nightmare? Oh my gosh!

I began trying to think carefully but yelped in surprise when Thomas pulled me closer, his breath hitting my back. The night shirt I wore was thin and it didn't leave much to the imagination. I felt the heat coming up my neck to my cheeks.

He is my mate, there is nothing wrong with this, right? NO. NO. He didn't claim me, so, so what.....

My mind was lost in thought when I suddenly felt breathing on the back of my neck, I gasped as heat shot through my body, down to my southern region.

"How do you feel? Did you sleep good?" His voice was low and groggy from sleep but I'd never heard anything or anyone sound more sexy.

"I-I uh.. Why am I... in your bed?" I stuttered.

He chuckled, he moved his arm that was on my waist and now his hand rested on my hip. "You had a nightmare. I heard you screaming so I went to you, and well.." he didn't see a reason to add everything else "I brought you here, so that I could help you if you woke again."

I sat there and took in what he said, I remembered the nightmare and I cringed inwardly, "I uh. Thank you." I looked around but from what I could see on this side I couldn't find a clock. "What time is it?"

I felt him move behind me, "6:23 in the morning." He said calmly.

I moved away from him, sitting up on the edge of the bed. "I need to leave before others wake up." I stood up, and shivered from the loss of heat from his body, I wanted nothing more than to crawl back in that bed and snuggle. But I made myself walk towards the door.

Thomas POV:

I watched her stand up and begin walking, I wanted to know what scared her so bad last night and if by some chance it was my fault. I shot out of bed and before she could reach the door I grabbed her wrist, the electricity of our contact making my fingers tingly, her scent filling my nostrils. I heard her gasp and knew she felt it too, but the sound shot straight to my groin. If I didn't have the control I had I would have groaned aloud with all these sensations reeking havoc on my body and mind.

"Amara, I'm sorry... about what happened in the kitchen yesterday.. I have no excuse for my behavior" I said sincerely. I had an excuse, seeing Brian flirt with her, and make her laugh had filled me with possessiveness and jealousy. I wanted to make her laugh, among other things.

"I want to know what you had a nightmare about?" I said gently into her ear, feeling her shiver against me. It was nice to know that I affected her as much as she affected me.

"W-why? It doesn't matter..." she said a bit shaky.

I lowered my head, pressing my face to the curve of her neck where I'd mark her soon "it does matter." She was silent for a moment before she whispered, "I.. please forget it."

I ran the tip of my nose over the exposed skin, and heard her gasp. "I can't, I seen how scared you were... Let me help you." I coaxed softly.

She shook her head, "I don't need anyone's help, least of all yours." And with that she opened my door and all but ran from me. I rubbed my chest, the ache hurt where my heart stayed and I knew there was no going back, she was mine, and I will win her trust...

I shut the door, and went to the shower. A cold shower was in order, all she had to do was talk and I had this raging hard on. It has to be a mate thing no other female has affected me like she does. Her beautiful creamy skin, her brunette hair, and God those sexy amethyst eyes. When she actually looked at me I felt like I was lost in them, staring into her eyes for hours could pass and I wouldn't notice...

I shook my head of the thoughts, and stepped into the cold shower. I was amazed no sizzling sounds, or steam came off my skin because I felt like I was in fire.

Taking 30 minutes to calm down I finally leave my bathroom and dress in simple jeans and tank top, I wanted to work Brian into the ground today but, I knee he didn't know so it would be unfair. It still didn't make the idea any less appealing.

I left my room, walked down the hallway and stopped at Amaras door, should I ask her to join me? Should I give her space? I sighed and walked away, down the stairs. Ill talk to her later.

After breakfast, I barked my orders to all to get to their training.

Amaras POV:

After retreating like a coward to my room, I decided to take a bath. Walking into the bathroom, I stripped out of my shirt first and instantly held it to my nose. I could smell Thomas scent and I felt the heat again, I set it on the sink to keep.

I stripped the rest of my cloths and turned the tub on to the hottest setting I could manage. Once I settled in I looked at the shirt and snorted unladlylike. I feel like some sort of freak, keeping the shirt aside just so I can smell him...

I soaked for a good 20 minutes before I washed up and got out. I dried my hair the best I could with the towel before going back into the room to dress.

I heard a faint knock on the door and walking over I his myself behind the door and cracked it, seeing Edna.

"Breakfast is ready dear." She smiled.

I nodded "thank you, I'll be right down." She nodded and walked off, I shut the door and quickly dressed in a white Sundress, that stopped right above my knees. I brushed my hair, smiling and sighed.

Only a few more days till my twenty-first birthday.. The day I can see my wolf for the first time.. I suddenly got a bit depressed, most she-wolves find their mate, and they help them through the pain but... what do I expect, I was told I'd always be alone and no one would want me and that's how it will always be.

I finished up by slipping some sandals on, then headed out of the room to the kitchen. Now that I knew the way it didn't take long at all, I seen all the men walking out, some stared at me as they passed, others winked. I just stared confused, these men were weird. Shaking that off I walked to the kitchen seeing Thomas. I suddenly felt nervous.

He turned sharply towards me, and his jaw clenched. I didn't know what was going on, but I walked to the bar where the food was and grabbed a plate, filling it with a bit of everything then sat down.

I ate, trying to ignore Thomas. I almost sighed in relief when he walked off thinking that he was leaving, until I felt that familiar heat behind me, then his scent hit me. I tensed up.

"Relax Amara." He whispered into my ear, "I know my attitude has been uncalled for, as well as my behavior but if you can give me another chance I would like to claim you." He said the last part so low and seductively it sent shivers down my spine.

"C-claim me?" I breathed.

"As my mate. Let me make it up to you. Dinner tonight?" He asked, his lips moving along the shell of my ear.

I couldnt speak so I nodded, he leaned forward a bit and kissed my cheek "tonight at 8pm. I'll be waiting down in the Den for you." And then his heat left my back and I knew he left the room.

The man was danger to my peace of mind, he didn't do anything and I felt ready to jump him right then.... ohhh it's going to be a long, long night.
