"Aw is the big, bad Alpha scared of the little human." My mate teases me.

I'm momentarily stunned by her sudden confidence but if she wants to play like that, bring it on.

"I don't know little mate" I hear her heart rate pick up when I call her that.

"I can hear you heart, and it seems to be pretty crazy right now. So tell me." I lean in close and press my body to her's.

She gasps. "Who's the scared one now?" I can feel Mar squirming under me and I bring my hands up, holding her hips.

My breath is still on her neck and I can see the goosebumps on her skin.

"I-I'm not s-sc-scared of y-you." She tries to tell me. I pull back and lean centimeters from her lips.

"Are you sure" I can feel her skin with every word I say. Just as she leans forwards I pull back.

Her eyes snap open in surprise and I smirk at her pink tinted cheeks.

"Yes, I don't need your kisses" She says cockily. I growl. Of course she needs my kisses.

"Okay then, see yah!" I tell her. I back up and walk out of the kitchen. It takes her a few seconds but when Mar realizes it.

"RYDER LET ME DOWN!" Bryli, Damien, Nate, Rylin and me all laugh. I'm sure she can hear us.

"Common guys! What kinda friends are you!" I start walking back to the kitchen and I see her moving to get off.

Using my enhanced speed I run up and grab her waist.

"Where do you think you're going?" I ask her. "You need some help?"

Mariah glares at me. Then she says "Not from abandoning leeches" Then she sticks her tongue out! At me! Damn, no one has done anything like that to me in a while.

I do the only logical thing.

I kiss her tongue.

"EW!" My mate screams. Batting at my chest.

"BRYLI, RYLIN, SELENA, ETHAN, DAMIEN, NATE HELP ME HE KISSED MY TONGUE!" I hear a round of laughter from the living room and walk over.

Mar is doing everything she can to get down. She's hitting, pinching, slapping, and twisting around trying to make me drop her.

It doesn't even affect me.

"Sorry Mar, no one and I mean no one wants to get in between an Alpha and his mate."

Rylin says. Mariah's little eyebrows furrow.

"Why's everyone so scared of you Bear?"

"Bear?" I ask her. I'm a wolf.

"Well, I'm giving the nickname Ry to Rylin and your acting like a koala bear so I'm gonna call you bear."

Everyone bursts out laughing. I roll my eyes playfully.

"Well babygirl" her heart rate spikes again and I smirk.

"Everyone's respectful of me because I'm the fastest, strongest, and most powerful in the pack. The mate bond emotions are also stronger for us."

"Mate bond?" She asks.

"The bond me and you have." I explain. Her mouth forms on "o".

I lean in to whisper in her ear. "The pull I feel towards you. The sparks when we touch. All the things I want to do to you. And the intense need to hear you scream my name."

My little mate tenses and I can tell I turned her on, by how much sweeter her smell gets.

Her arousal. I smirk victoriously. She's the brightest red I've ever seen and is hiding in my chest.

I laugh and rub her back while she groans. I walk back over to the kitchen and pull open the fridge.

"What do you want baby?" I ask her. She squirms in my arms and looks over her shoulder.

"Anything?" She asks, amazed. I growl at the question. Did they not feed her or something?

"Anything baby." I tell her then kiss my mate's forehead. She closes her eyes for a second before looking at the food.

"Hmmmmm what about........" Her eyes light up.

"Do you have those little donut cereals that are different colors?!" She asks quickly. I think. Donut cereal?

"The one with the big blue bird on the box!" She adds when I don't get it.

"Big blue bird on the bo- OH" I started to murmer before I got it. I move to the cupboard and pull out the red box.

"Fruit loops?" I question. Her whole face brightens and she grabs the box.

"Yes! This!" I chuckle at her choice but still grab two bowls and the milk. When we each have a bowl, I walk over to the table.

I sit down and turn Mar in my lap so she's turned towards the table. She looks over her shoulder at me and opens her mouth to argue.

Before she can, I hold up a hand and raise my eyebrows. She huffs and mumbles something along the lines of.

"Leech" I grab her side and whisper in her ear.

"Mariah, stop calling me a leech, I'm a wolf, a werewolf to be exact, who has the overwhelming urge to mark and fuck you every single second. So stop complaining about my clinginess and eat your food."

She turns beet red and starts to eat.

"There you go" I praise her. She glares at me.
