Finn

She smiles at me, but there is still a hint of fear in her eyes and, damn, does that hurt. I mean, I can’t blame her. You find out your soul mate can sprout huge teeth, must be kind of scary. I scoop her up and lay on the bed with her in my lap and wrap my arms around her securely. She tucks her little face into the crook of my neck and breathes in deep. I can’t help but smile. She is affected by the mate bond and doesn’t even realize it. We sit quietly for a few minutes and I soak up every bit of her attention. I run my fingers through her hair and kiss her forehead. It feels so good for her to know the truth, even if it didn’t happen the way I was hoping it would.

“So. Penny and Cam.” She says. I chuckle and cringe at the same time.

“Yeah, I needed to get cleaned up, so I had Cam come keep an eye on the house. I called Penny, figuring you’d want to see her. They met and bam. I’ve never seen two mates go from meeting to boning that fast. Seriously, I don’t think she even knew his name. I had to go outside, they were so loud and smelled so bad. I’m throwing away the bed in your spare room, I’ll buy you a new one. I won’t be able to stand the smell of my brother’s sexual escapades every time I’m here.” She descends into a fit of giggles and it’s the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.

“So, what does this mean, Finn?” She asks quietly. I pull away from her gently to look down in her big, beautiful eyes.

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Well, being a beta is important right?” She asks, curiously. I nod and kiss the little lines in between her eyes that her furrowed brow causes.

“Yes. Ian is the Alpha, he’s in charge. But as Beta I am responsible for helping him keep the pack running and safe. Besides him, I’m the strongest and most skilled wolf in our pack.”

“Yeah, I got a taste of that last night.” She says and shudders in my arms.

"I'm sorry you saw that, sweetheart. My wolf was a little more vicious than he usually is. With you in the car he was on edge. He needed to protect you."

"You talk about your wolf like he is a seperate person." She says quietly eyeing me with a burning curiosity. I feel like I'm being studied intently and it's creeping me out.

"He kind of is." I shrug. "But we work together. He's a part of me."

"Does he like me?" She asks with a sweet smile. I chuckle and nod.

"Oh yes. Very much." She scratches my chin and coos at me.

"Good Fido." I rub my nose against hers and lick her cheek, earning me a peal of laughter.

"His name is Titan, babe."

"That's a pretty bad ass name for a wolf." She says and Titan puffs up with pride.

"Yeah it is." I say excitedly.

"I'm gonna call him Socks." She smiles at me mischievously and I tweak her nose.

"No, you're not. That's definitely not a bad ass name for a wolf." She shrugs and moves to straddle me on the bed.

"I'm sure Titan won't mind if I call him Socks." She whispers in my ear and the feel of her hot breath on my neck makes goosebumps rise on my skin.

'Mate can call me whatever she wants! Tell her, tell her!' Titan yells. I flinch from how loud he is.

"No, he doesn't like it." I say quietly.

'LIAR!' Titan yells. 'Tell mate I love her!'

'It's too soon!' I tell him. 'You'll freak her out.' He huffs.

'Lick her again and tell her it's from me!' Titan cries.

I lean forward and lick Calli’s cheek. She squeals and looks at me questioningly.

"That was from Titan." I say and she giggles.

"Thank you, Socks!" She responds and I huff.

'That's not where I wanted you to lick her.' Titan pouts and I cackle out a laugh.

"What's so funny?" Calli asks.

"My horny wolf." I respond and she giggles.

"Not right now. I need you to focus."

"Then you need to stop grinding that sweet pussy on my dick, baby." I say lowly. Her breathing increases and she leans down to kiss me, only meeting my lips for a moment before clambering off my lap.

"God, I'm such a sucker for dirty talk." She mumbles to herself. I'm pretty sure she doesn't realize I have werewolf hearing, so I decide to tuck that piece of information away for later.

"So. You're the beta, it's an important job, blah, blah, blah. So where do I fit into this?" She asks. I sigh heavily and run my hand through my hair.

"Typically, the beta female helps the Luna with the pack. The kids especially. Making sure they are healthy, safe and well cared for." I say and she nods.

"So, would I be expected to quit my job? Leave my house?" I sigh and pull her back onto my lap and run my hands down her arms in a soothing motion.

"It's up to you, sweetheart. I'm not going to force you to do anything. Would I love for you to move into a house with me on pack grounds? Yes. Would I love for you to work at the pack school? Yes. But at the end of the day, I just want you to be happy." I say and try to convey my honesty as much as possible.

It would be difficult if she didn't conform to a standard beta female role. I may even have to give up my status as beta, but I'd rather have her so it doesn't matter. She sighs and looks so tired all of a sudden. It hurts to know I've brought so much stress into her life.

"Hey, hey look at me Calli." I say as I tip her chin up gently until she meets my eyes. "Nothing is going to change tonight. Or anytime soon for that matter. We can continue things the way we have been, spend time together. If that's ok." She nods and leans up to kiss me.

"I would like that. I'd like to visit your... pack if that's ok?" I smile brightly at her and nod.

"Of course. I would love that." I say honestly and she gives me a wicked smile.

"I've always wondered where you live." I chuckle.

"Well, now you know why I couldn't take you there."

"I just figured you were a disgusting pig and were too embarrassed to have me over." I feel my face heat up with a little bit of a blush and make a mental note to clean up a little before she comes over.

"Well, I'm not the best housekeeper, but there's definitely room for improvement I won't lie." She tips her head back and laughs, giving me the perfect opportunity to lean down and suck on her neck. The perfect place for me to mark her.

She stiffens in my arms and moans louder, moving her head and giving me better access to the spot. I suck on it hard, guaranteeing a purple bruise that will hopefully last a couple of days.

"That's where I'll mark you." I say quietly in her ear.

"What's that mean?" She asks, eyes still closed enjoying my gentle kisses.

"I'll sink my teeth in and release a small bit of venom. A permanent scar will form and you'll smell like me, so every other wolf will know who you belong to. And who belongs to you." I say smiling against her skin.

"Will it hurt?" She asks.

"I've never been marked, but everyone says it feels incredible. Like the most intense orgasm of your entire life." Her eyes go wide as she looks at me.

"Can you mark me everyday?" A barking laugh bubbles out of me, and by the time I have it under control there are tears in my eyes.

"No, baby. Just the once. But I'll make sure you enjoy it." I say before I lean in to suck on her plump bottom lip. I part her lips with my tongue, exploring every inch of her that I can reach.

She turns around and goes back to straddling me, grinding down on my growing cock as I pepper her face with kisses. She licks down my neck and finds a particularly sensitive area. The spot I realize where she will mark me. She pays special attention to it when I can't hold back a moan of pleasure.

"That's where I'll show everyone that you belong to me, right?" She whispers in my ear. I nod and grip her hips tightly. I pull back to look at her, and I can tell she's exhausted from everything that's happened. I want to continue, but I want her well rested before I take her for the first time.

"Let's get some sleep, my little love." I say quietly as her eyes begin to drift closed.

"Alright." She yawns out. "But I'm gonna rock your world right after my nap." She says snuggling into me. I chuckle and kiss her head while running my fingers through her hair.

"Looking forward to it, babe." I murmur back.

"Good. You should be." She replies before she's fast asleep.
