The Alpha's Slave Mate

Chapter Seventeen

Caleb’s Point of View

I have never felt so hopeless as I did when my mate started crying. These were not tears like you see on television. This was full out sobbing from the heart. It twisted my stomach up knowing that she has endured so much mental and emotional pain in her lifetime. It also makes me angry that people have treated like this so much that she believes that she does not deserve to be love. I made a vow right there and then that I would spend the rest of my days ensuring that she knows that she is loved and adored. : When she pulled back from me, I wanted to show her that her life would be different moving forward. I have Waited so long for my mate that I was ready to beg her to stay with me. To give us achance. I am hoping with time and patience that she will come to love me and need me as much asI need her. I know that my pack will accept her with open arms. They have been waiting for me to find my mate.

For the greater good of our pack he agreed. '

Just when I thought that my imagination could not get any better, I hear the shower turn on.

immediately switched to more carnal thoughts. Knowing that my mate was so close, and naked was driving me crazy. Imagining every water droplet caressing her body, trailing down her arms, falling from her perfect breasts. My dick was throbbing, begging for release. I had never been this hard it was almost painful.

I will never do anything that you do not want me to do. If I ever step out of line, you only have to say stop. To hurt you would be like ripping my own heart out and shredding it.
