Chapter 44

Lucien POV

I knew that before announcing Auren as my mate, I had to prepare for those who would come after her just to get to me. If people discovered that Auren was the mate of the strongest Alpha of the North, they would scrutinize, be antagonized with her and hunt her. While many would strike openly, it was the ones lurking in the shadows that I was afraid of.

The thought of someone attacking her made a shadder run down my body. I wanted Auren to be happy. She was like sunshine in my life that was slowly driving away the darkness surrounding me.

But the only thing that moved was my hand. Surrounded by her intoxicating scent of warm apples, my wolf was going nuts. "Touch her he argued.

Her blanket shifted, her dress slipped lower and half of her boobs popped out. I clenched my teeth, my muscles sensing at the beautiful sight. I stared at her plump breasts like a starved wolf, imagining suckling her. Fuck. Pressure surged in between my thighs and my cock swelled painfully.

I would keep myself away from my maie for twelve hours. I had this strung urge to tell her that I was her mate, but what if she balked. She had already suffered a lot with one brutal rejection.
