Chapter 103
Caden’s POV
I’ve been awake for the past half hour and I’ve spent all that time studying my mate’s face.
The pain that’s usually etched on it when she’s sleeping is now gone. A result of her healed injuries.
A soft smile graces her lips like she’s having a sweet dream and I suddenly wish that werewolves also
possess telepathic skills. Does it make me conceited if I assume that I’m the reason she’s having such
a peaceful sleep?
If that smile isn’t caused by the fact that we had another round a few hours ago, then it will definitely be
because of the sixty-nine we had a couple of minutes back.
Alessia is insatiable and I’m more than happy to take care of her needs. Her heat is over but that
doesn’t mean that we
can’t keep having these stolen moments together.
Her eyes flutter open, her amber eyes shining brightly. They flick to the window behind me and widen in
surprise, effectively shattering the moment.
She jerks up on the bed. “We missed dinner!” She groans, falling back on the bed and dragging her
hands down her face.
This performance can’t simply be because we missed dinner. “It’s ok,” I say anyway, gripping her hand
and pulling it away from her face. It’s a crime to keep such a beautiful face hidden. “I’m sure that
there’s some leftovers in the fridge. I’ll go downter and get something for us to eat.”
“It’s not that.” She sits up straight and I’m having a hard time concentrating as my eyes slide down to
her breasts which are bouncing from all the movement.
“Then what is the issue?” I force myself to keep my gaze above her neck.
“We both didn’t show up for dinner and I’m sure they know that we didn’t step out of the pack house.
Everyone is going to
know what we’ve been doing,” she ends with another groan.
So that’s where her predicament ising from. I’m too much of a gentleman to tell her that the entire
pack house probably heard her screaming my name. Countless times.
“Is that such a bad thing?” The words are out before I can rethink them.
“What?” She asks, finally turning her focus on me.
“Is that such a bad thing?” I repeat, taking hold of her hand again. “I honestly don’t care if my pack
members find out that
we’re mated.”
Her brows shoot up.
I continue. “In fact, I haven’t cared about them for a long while.” A pause. “Move in with me. My pack
members and the
rumors can go to hell for all I care.”

Her mouth drops and her eyes saucer-shaped. “Move it with you?” She echoes in disbelief.
“Yes,” I answer, smiling softly to ease her nerves because it’s clear to anyone that she’s freaking out of
her mind. “We would be spending every night together. A lot of chances to do a lot of things.” I make
sure my voice is dripping with innuendo. There’s no way for her to miss what I’m implying.
My hands slide up her arm and I can barely keep my smirk concealed as she shivers. The effect I have
on her might just
work in my favor.
“What do you say?” Cupping her face, I caress her cheek with my thumb, stopping at the edge of her
lips and tracing that pouty mouth. G o d, the things that mouth has done to me.
As if on cue, my c oc k stiffens under the cover, begging to join in on the action. Alessia just needs to
ept my offer and then we can move on to other fun things. Things that will leave both of us very
worn out but also sated. All she has to do is
say-
“No.”
The wheels in my heade to a halt as I try to wrap my head around her one-word answer. It doesn’t
sound anything like the answer I wanted. “No?” I echo, wondering if I somehow heard her wrong.
“I don’t think it will be a good idea for us to move in together,” she expands.
My finger stops tracing her lips and my hand falls from her face to my side.
Of course, this scenario did cross my mind, I’m not that conceited- but I never actually expected it.
We’re both rxed from living in our cocoon and away from the outside world. In short, I expected a
yes.
“I think we’re moving too fast and need to move things back a notch.” She inches back, making a literal
trantion of her
words.
“We’re fated mate and we just found out that our existence has basically been entwined for years.”
“It doesn’t mean that we need to start living in each other’s space,” she bites out, a frown settling on
her face. A totally different look from the peaceful look she had on while sleeping.
“It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t,” I countermely, hearing how dumb I sound even to my ears.
If the universe is trying to get us to be together, then who are we to try to stop it? I know how to read
the signs and I’m not trying to get struck down by lightning by going against the universe’s wishes.
“A few weeks ago, you didn’t want anyone to know we’re mates and now, you want to mark me and
have me move in with you.” She pauses, shaking her head. “I can’t handle the drastic changes. It’s
giving me whish.”
I know I turned over a whole new leaf, but I’m tired of fighting off my attractions. I tried to do it for
months and look where itnded us. Alessia was nearly killed and we lost a valuable member of our
pack.
“What changed you?” She asks, her eyes running over my body. She mustn’t have found what she was
looking for because her gaze goes back to mine with that confusion still intact. “Why did you change
your mind about us?”
