Author's note:

Austin Butler is who I picture Dawson, Mason's Beta, as.

But guess what?

I will be writing a sequel to this book! Not exactly sure what it will be called but I know what it's about😏

That doesn't mean I'm done with this book yet tho. I will probably have over 30 chapters so please keep reading and voting.

I have noticed people don't really comment a lot and that's totally fine. However, I really do appreciate it when you do. The comments and just the fact that y'all read the book make my day so thank you very much!

Love you all!

Happy reading!!!

Unedited.

Paisley's P.O.V.

I wake up cuddled up next to Mason. His arm is around my waist in a tight but bearable grip.

I look down under the sheets at our naked bodies and the events of last night come flashing back.

No we didn't do the...deed, but he did mark me.

I am now and forever only Mason's. I can't help but smile at the thought. He also said he loved me!

I trace over my mark with my hand. I'm just so happy and at peace. Although that may not last long. There's still the threat of my dad and Max finding me. However, I know Mason will protect me and Jamie and that just makes me love him more!

Mason starts to wake beside me and I watch as his eyes flutter open.

They are immediately filled with lust and love.

"Morning Kitten." He purrs and kisses the tip of my nose.

"Morning!" I say with a giggle.

"How do you feel? Ya know, now that I marked you." He asks nervously.

"Mason I feel amazing! I love you and this mark. It shows everyone else I belong to you." I assure him with I gentle kiss to the lips.

He takes it a step further though. He moves to hover overtop of me. He manages to keep his weight off me by leaning up on his elbows.

"I love you." He coos in my ear making me shiver. He licks at my mark making me moan in absolute pleasure.

Being that we are still naked I know I have to stop this before it escalates any further.

He moves right over my entrance and I start to panic.

Of course I want this for us, but I just don't want it yet. It only takes one time to get pregnant and I will not bring a baby into this life knowing its not safe. I already have Jamie to worry about. I can't and won't risk him getting hurt.

"Mason...we have to stop." I say reluctantly.

He doesn't listen and continues to inch closer to me. I can feel his 'friend' on my upper thigh and look up.

His eyes are pitch black. Great! His wolf is taking over.

He presses his lips to mine and basically shoves his tongue down my throat.

His hands start to roam all over my body making me shiver.

"Mason....please!" I beg.

I try to push him off of me but he is to heavy.

"Mason." I whimper and start to cry.

As soon as the first tear falls Mason's eyes turn back to their original color. He looks at me with sadness, anger, and regret.

"Paisley...I'm so sorry baby. I never meant for that to happen. My wolf just took over. It's just the want and need for you is to much sometimes. I-I'm sorry!" He pleads.

I push him off of me and sit up bringing the covers to cover myself.

"It's ok. I understand. Just please never do that again." I reply.

"I promise baby. I'm so so so sorry! I love you!" He promises and kisses me.

"I'm gonna take a shower." I inform him and get up, purposely taking the covers with me.

After my shower I get dressed in blue skinny jeans and a white sweater. I slip on my red Vans and walk down stairs.

When I first got out of the shower I almost expected for Mason to still be in our room. But he's not. Mason being Mason he probably left to give me some space and think through everything. Which I am grateful for.

I know Mason would never try to pressure me into anything and that his wolf just took over. Honestly, my wolf was close to taking over as well. I can tell you if he ever does that again though there will be hell to pay!

I walk down into the kitchen to find Linda cooking breakfast over the stove.

"Hey hun. How did you sleep?" She asks while walking over to hug me.

"Good." I answer and hug her back.

She pulls me back by my shoulders to look at me. "I bet you did." She says with a wink.

Great!

"It's ok sweetheart. Don't worry. When me and Mason's dad first started the mating process, I'm pretty sure all of Virginia could hear it." She informs me with a smirk. She dazes off. Probably thinking of the memories.

Ewww!

"Ok." I reply awkwardly.

"Anywho! I made you and Jamie breakfast. Now where is the little rascal? He was just here a minute ago." She says and lifts up the table skirt to look for Jamie.

While she's not looking he comes up behind her and jumps on her back, making her squeal.

"Oh why you little...", She trails off and begins to tickle him.

Jamie's cute little laugh rings throughout the kitchen making me smile.

"Hey sissy?" Jamie questions.

"Yes bubba?" I ask while picking him up and placing him on my hip.

"Why were you screaming Mason's name last night? I was worried about you." He asks and Linda snorts out in a fit of laughter.

"Um....", what am I suppose to say?

"We were playing video games little man." Mason says when he walks through the door saving the day.

"Oh ok. Sounds fun." Jamie says innocently.

"Oh trust me, it was!" Mason smirks while his mom and I give him the death glare.

I set Jamie down and he runs over to Mason and hugs him. Awww!!!

I love how good they get along.

"Ok well me and Dawson have pack business to tend to so we'll see you guys in a few hours." Mason says after breakfast. He gets up and walks out the door with Dawson following behind. I get up and storm out after him.

"Mason!" I yell when he gets to his car.

"Yeah?" He asks. He's acting so distant. He doesn't need to. I forgive him.

"Mason I forgive you. Please stop acting so distant." I beg. He face falls and he sighs in relief.

He pulls me into a tight hug and kisses the top of my head.

"I'm sorry Paisley. I just wanted to give you your space. Let you think about things." He apologizes.

"It's ok and I thank you for that but I forgive you. I love you and we're ok. I promise. I love you." I assure him.

He leans down and kisses me with so much passion. I love this man and could never stay mad at him.

"I love you with all my heart Paisley! I will text you soon, ok?"

"Ok. Love you. Stay safe." I kiss his cheek and he walks to his car hopping in the drivers seat.

Once he's out of sight I walk back into the house.

About an hour later the doorbell rings.

"I got it!" I scream to Linda or really anybody who can hear me.

I open the door and look around. There's no one there. I look down to find an envelope with my name on it.

I pick it up and walk back into the house. I go into the kitchen and grab a glass of water.

I lean against the kitchen counter and tear open the envelope.

We found you Paisley. I can't wait to kill that mate of yours and have you all to myself. Until we meet again...which will be very soon.

Love, Max.

I drop my water and it busts into a million pieces spilling water everywhere.

He found me.
