The Alpha King's Human Mate by HC Dolores

Chapter 55

“You are the fire burning inside me.” Kelvin O’Ralph

If ’d had a camera or a phone nearby, I would’ve snapped a photo of the look on Griffin’s face when I told him I wanted

to claim him. He looked like I’d just told him I was secretly an alien or lived on the moon ~ or some other impossible

thing. 7

With his jaw hanging open, Griffin finally managed to speak. “Claim me?” he said. “Like with a bite?”

I knew the idea sounded ridiculous. I wasn’t a wolf. I didn’t have fangs that could magically leave scars. But I did have

teeth and canines. Maybe they weren’t as sharp, but they could still sink into somebody’s neck. They could leave scars

too. |”)

That thought – of me sinking my teeth into the pulse of Griffin’s neck ~ sent the blood rushing through my veins.

Has the mate bond messed me up so much that biting into somebody’s neck like a vampire turns me on? (2)

Well, not just anybody — Griffin. My mate.

“T hate to state the obvious here,” Griffin said, “But as much as I may call you my little fox, you’re still human. You won’t

be able to leave a claiming bite.” (1)

“Why not?” I snapped back, and I tried not to sound like I was pouting. “T have teeth too. Some of them are sharper than

they look.”

“Pm sure they are,” Griffin said, sounding amused. “But I have supernatural healing abilities. Unless your teeth are made

of silver, the

mark will just fade. Probably within seconds.”

Logically, I knew he was right. Werewolves healed much more quickly than humans. They weren’t even capable of getting

scars, not unless they were made through silver blades or weapons.
