Seth's POV

Sadie's love to please others is heart-warming. As we ate lunch with the pack I realized that she knew every warrior and patrol officer's name. Not only that, she knew their mates and children as well. This is something I've never had the desire or time to do. I'm too busy making sure the pack is safe rather than building any sort of rapport or friendship.

The only friendships I held true, and they know who I really am were my officers. Marco, Nathan and Ethan. Unfortunately, having one of your own friends betray you in such a way only makes me question the loyalty of the others.

Nathan was still strung up in the pack prison with silver. I layed off the wolfsbane so he could still connect with his wolf. I'm starting to grow soft, and Sadie has done that to me. Part of me feels sorry for Nathan. He has waited as long as I have for a mate, it still doesn't excuse his want and need to betray werewolf traditions as well as his Alpha- even though he didn't know she was mine.

Sadie has been dropping hints here and there about Nathan, asking where he is and if she could visit with him. I know Rebecca and Lela have told her of his crimes, she hasn't brought them up to me though. She's treading lightly with me, which I appreciate. She understands he was one of my closest friends, but her compassion and mercy keep coming into play. Tonight at dinner I plan to to speak with her about Nathan and what our plans should be. She won't like my plans that I want to implement.

I walk Sadie into a private restaurant 45 minutes outside the Pineville Pack territory. It is a small jazz club and restaurant that I used to go to several years ago with other unmated males for drinks. Sometimes getting away from werewolves and being around humans not having to worry about pissing someone off was a good break.

We walked in the club and I instantly noticed the men at the bar eyeing my mate. I snaked my hand around her waist and she looks up and smiles at me. With a quick sigh from her we are led to a table in the back corner. It was an intimate table, a bit from the music and other prying eyes, I reserved it just for her.

"You know, this is my first date." She said as she sat in her seat. "I couldn't have asked for better company."

"I'm glad you like it, Love. Don't worry, I have much more in store." I winked. Sadie blushed and looked down at her lap. I hope she never loses that blush, she looks so innocent when she has no idea what to do or say.

The waitress comes over to take our order and Sadie asks me to order for her. Nothing prides a wolf more is when your mate trusts your judgement on food and lets you provide for her.

We talked about our childhoods, our likes and dislikes and favorite music and movies. We haven't been able to spend much time together like this since we met and with the hour and half of just talking like this I couldn't help but love her more. Yeah, love had started to float in my head and my wolf only agreed.

I could sense her getting nervous, I think I knew what she was going to ask, so instead I brought it up for her. "Love, I think we need to talk about Nathan." She looked at me in surprise, shock even that I would bring it up.

"What Nathan did is a dishonorable offence. If this happened back in my pack lands he would already be dead." Sadie gasped in shock. "I know Rebecca and Lela told you his crimes. Putting a scent and trying to claim someone else's mate is serious."

"I know Seth, I know." She fumbled with her dress. "I think we need to figure something else out. He has a mate out there, he hasn't found her. You would just be punishing her too. Doesn't his mate deserve happiness?"

"She would be given a second chance mate, she wouldn't be affected." I told her flatly.

"But, Seth, think of all the good things he has done in his life for you and the pack. He made a mistake. Maybe I could talk to him? Find out his reasoning?? I'm sure another punishment would work better than death!" she pleaded.

My Sadie was so compassionate and forgiving. I remember the night he tried to kiss her and the horrified look on her face. She wanted to give someone that made her completely uncomfortable a second chance. I don't know if I have it in me to allow that. The thought of him trying it again brings anger to the surface.

"I can't just let him go, Sadie. What if he tried again? I can't let anything happen to you!" My fists pounded the table a bit too harshly. Some couples turned to look at us but quickly looked away when they saw my face.

Sadie came and sat with me on the same side of the booth with me. Gently putting her hand on my thigh. "I'm not saying he gets out free, I'm not saying he should be completely forgiven by you yet. I think you and I should talk to him. Also, if it makes you feel better..." she smiled. "Once I am marked then you can let him out."

My eyes lit up. Was she really ready to be marked? It had only been a week. Werewolves usually mark within a day but being a human I thought it would be more. "Are you wanting to be marked so soon?" I asked.

"I couldn't imagine a life without you, I feel like I am supposed to be here. I know I haven't had all my answers yet and I would like to have more of your world revealed to me before I am marked. We are just waiting on The Ministry, right?" She said curiously.

"Yes, once they look you over I will tell you everything. What you are getting into, what everything is, I'll tell you." I said happily. Sadie leaned in and gave me a quick peck on the lips, but I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her in for a deeper one.

Sparks flew across our mouths as I explored her. She was warm, tender and soft, everything I was not. Her soul teased mine knowing I could have her but not at this moment. Marking her will be the best day of my life. She will be mine and I would be hers. We would live together ruling over our pack and she wouldn't be the mother of our pups but mother to everyone that surrounds us. She has proven time and time again of her loyalty to werewolves and her compassion she has for them.

I whimpered as she pulled away from the kiss. Her big hazel eyes looked into mine. "Let's go dance, you still need to make it up to me you know." She slapped my chest and started giggling.

"You are never going to let me live down that one mistake from the club are you?" The thought of calling her those mean things at the club when she tried to dance with me still stings. I could have had her for longer if I wasn't such a pain in the ass.

"I've forgiven you, I'm just going to be the proper woman and hold it over your head for awhile." Grabbing my hand she led me to the dance floor. My towering height hovered over her small frame. She still managed to get her arms around my neck with the heels she was wearing.

We danced for an hour and then I saw she was starting to get tired. I took her back to the car and buckled her seatbelt. A gesture she thought to be sweet and endearing.

It was midnight, most of the packhouse was asleep, except for a few warriors trading shifts in the night. Some of Ian's warriors looked towards Sadie with lustful eyes.

Sadie was a sight to behold but I couldn't stop them all the time. I gave a quick deadly look and they scampered off to do their chores.

As we reached the stairs, Sadie paused and was about to take off her shoes when I lifted her up bridal style and carried her up.

"Oh thank goddess, I was about to cry having to climb all those stairs!" She whispered in my ear. The tickle from her breath on my skin started to make me hard. As I was trying to calm myself, Sadie then nipped my ear with her teeth. That little minx.

"If you keep doing that, I won't be able to stop myself," I said with my breath raspy.

"What if I don't want you to stop?"

I lost it.

I fucking lost it.

I ran up the stairs with her lightly giggling and opened and locked the door quickly. Taking long strides I threw her gently on the bed. With a quick bounce she started to take off her strappy shoes.

"Leave them on." I whispered.

Her breathing started to become shallow and frequent. I took off my jacket and unbuttoned the top two buttons of my shirt before laying beside her on the bed. I kissed her deeply and rough, her hands went to my hair and started to lightly tug on it, causing a moan and growl to leave my throat.

Her dress started to inch up closer to her hips as she tried to put a leg over my hip. One of my hands gripped her ass and massaged up and down her outer thigh. Her moan let me know she was enjoying and my wolf howled in achievement.

I found the zipper to the back of her dress and quickly ripped the dress off in one go. She squealed and giggled light heartedly. "You are wearing too many clothes, Seth." She whispered.

Sadie took the lead and unbuckled my pants. The sound of the buckle coming off made Sadie's heart rate speed up. She was getting excited, but I knew she was nervous. She's never seen me naked and I'm sure the thought of it was frightening. Along with my large, bulky build I'm sure she has reservations.

We were down to our undergarments and she looked up at me. "Please Seth." She begged. Damn I wanted her, I wanted to mate with her right then, but until she is checked out by The Ministry I can't.

I tugged her underwear down her leg with one finger and started to kiss the inside of her thighs. She looked at me in worry. "Trust me, Love, I'll make you feel good, just relax."

Her body went limp and started moaning as I got closer to her core. She was wet for me and that made me all the more hard. I've wanted to taste her since the moment I saw her. This is my chance to finally taste her sweet nectar.

I pulled her lips back and began my sweet assault on her clit. She gasped in surprise and held my head by my hair. She squeezed every time I hit a sweet spot. I darted my tongue in and out of her wet hole as she squirmed in ecstasy.

Feeling her release was near I started to suck on her clit, she started to convulse. "Oh, Seth, Oh my, SETH!" She came, and she came so hard cum was sliding into my mouth. As she rode out her high I licked her clean. Her taste was that of fruit and honey, sweet and tangy all the same time. I hummed into her core and she stiffened again.

"Seth, oh, it's happening again!" She screamed and I stuck my finger into her wet core. Screaming at surprise she wrapped her legs around my head. I couldn't help but chuckle at her antics.

I thrusted two fingers into her as I sucked on her clit. She was shaking and convulsing. "Baby you are so tight!" I growled into her cunt. I could barely fit two fingers into her. I'm sure she is going to hurt our first time.

Sadie screamed my name and arched her back as I plowed fingers into her. Her back slowly came back down on the wet mattress filled with her juices. Her breathing started to slow down and she looked at me. Still hunger in her eyes.

She got up and had me lay on my back. Kissing my ear and pulling on it. I groaned in satisfaction. Her kisses started to go down my neck and on the torso of my body. She nipped at my hips, leaving small hickies in their place. I couldn't wait to show them off next time I shifted in front of the warriors.

She roughly tugged at my boxers, this was a do or die moment. I was waiting for her to stop, but half hoping she would continue her assault on my body. As she pulled them down my dick slapped my stomach when it was released. Her eyes were wide and first full of concern.

"Baby, you don't have to do anything." I started to sit up but she shook her head and put her hand on my chest, pushing me back down into the mattress.

She angled her head between my thighs and held my cock in her hand. Is she really that innocent? She looks like a pro.

As if she could read my mind, "I did my research, I want to make you feel good too, Alpha."

I just about came right there. Damn she was so fucking sexy. "Oh baby, fuck yes."

Sadie licked my slit and gently took me into her mouth. She took me as deep as she could, which was still a lot. I'm so fucking proud of her being my mate, she wanted to make me feel good as much I did her.

Her head started to bob and I couldn't help but put my hand on her head. Feeling her going up and down I tried to push her a little more, "a little more baby, just a little more." She gagged but quickly recovered and took more of me.

She felt so fucking good. Her wet mouth around my mean looking dick gave me shivers. Then she started humming into my cock. I lost it, I was going to come right there like a pubescent boy.

"Sadie! Goddess! I'm going to cum!" I was waiting for her to come up, but she never did. As streams of cum coated her throat she took every bit with stride and drank it all down. When she came up she had a bit on the side of her mouth which I quickly wiped away from her.

"Fuck, baby." I quickly grabbed her and put her next to my body. Both of us panting and feeling each other's warmth around us. I kissed her forehead, each cheek and finally her mouth. She kissed me so lovingly, so passionately. I let her control the kiss and felt her hands roam my body.

We finally broke away and she looked into my eyes. "Seth?" She whispered.

"Yes, Love?"

"I, I love you." she breathed. My heart stopped, I didn't think a human could love so quickly. I knew it would take time because humans are not supposed to feel the bond so quickly. However, she seemed to prove me wrong. After a moment of not replying, I smiled at her.

"I love you too, so much." I grabbed her and held her close. For the first time in my life, I felt tears go down my face. What has this woman done to me, I'm not supposed to feel like this. She did it though, she broke down my walls and I can love. Even being without here for so long in my lifetime she was able to fix my cold heart.

"Seth, are you OK?"

"Of course I am, I'm so happy right now." I told her honestly.

"You are mine and I am yours, right?" She smiled brightly.

"Forever and always, love. Forever and always."
