tried

I practically ran inside of the pack house with Shayne trailing behind me. I made sure to put enough space as I could between us. I didn't think he would hurt me intentionally , but if he lost control then itvery well could happen.

"Why didn't you tell me about your brother?" Shayne threw the words at me accusingly.

"Because I knew you would get like this."

"What did you expect?!" He snapped. "I've left you alone with him!"

"He's like a brother to me," I said, desperately trying to make him understand. "I would never-"

"You've been alone with him for who knows how long. You expect me to think nothing ever happened between the two of you? That girl-"

"Nothing happened, Shayne. Even if something had happened, with him or with someone else, it was before I met you."

It wasn't the right thing to say at the time. Shayne had a deadly look in his face. I took another step away from him as if that would protect me.

"You slept with him." It wasn't a question.

I looked at Shayne and his eyes had darkened. I knew his wolf was at bay and could come out at any time. I hated that he thought I could ever be with someone else. Mates were supposed to wait for each other.

"Is that the reason you didn't want to stay the first day you got here? You wanted to run back to him, didn't you?" He continued.

"Of course not." I said shaking my head.

It hurt that Shayne was doubting me. At the time he had every reason to, but it didn't make things any better. He didn't trust me.

"You are not to see him again." Shayne ordered

I was shocked at his words. I didn't think he would ban me from seeing Jake. It hurt just thinking about not seeing him anymore. He was the closest thing I had to a family.

"Shayne, he's like my brother." I cried.

"Stop crying. That trick won't work on me." Shayne said, turning his back to me.

I tried to understand how he felt about this, but it was too painful to take. I probably deserved all of it. I didn't know what I could say to make him understand that Jake was just like a brother. He cared for me in a way that my family never did. He saved me and I owed him so much.

"I didn't sleep with him." I said, shaking my head. "You should know that. Why won't you believe me?"

"He's not your brother." Shayne said as if that served for some explanation.

"No he's not my brother but he means everything to me. Right now I rather be with him than with you." I said, feeling my anger flare.

"He is dead." Shayne growled, viciously.

Shayne turned for the door but I quickly ran to stop him. He had the door open but I pressed my back against it and closed it. Shayne growled at me and I jerked back. He was beyond enraged.

"Don't hurt him." I pleaded.

"Now you're protecting him?"

Shayne was visibly shaking. I knew he could easily get around me. He was too angry to listen to anything I had to say. Shayne didn't understand the bond I had with Jake. The conversation wouldn't accomplish anything, so I did the only thing I could think of.

I practically threw myself at Shayne and pressed my lips against his. He wasn't expecting that from me. I continued to move my lips against him even though he took time to respond. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed myself flush against him.

With inhuman speed Shayne had picked me up and took me to his room. I was thrown on the bed and I yelped as I bounced on the mattress. Shayne was standing right by the edge of the bed and he looked so threatening. I watched as he shredded the shirt he was wearing.

Despite the situation we were in I couldn't help my eyes roaming his muscular body. He was pure perfection and he was beautiful. I was caught off guard when Shayne was on top of me, capturing my lips with his. The kiss was so demanding and I found myself responding to the kiss immediately.

I tried to push Shayne away when my tank-top was ripped off of me. I now understood what he was trying to do. He was trying to mate with me. He was trying to show he was dominant and I was only his. Shayne was going to try to claim me.

"Get off of me!" I said, pushing on his chest.

"You are mine." Shayne growled.

"No." I pushed him off of me.

"So you'll sleep with him but you won't mate with me?" Shayne growled. "I am your mate."

"Not like this." I said, crossing my arms on my chest to cover my breasts. I was still wearing my bra but it didn't make me feel any less exposed.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because you're angry and I don't want to do it like this."

"If that what you want then have it your way, but that dog is dead."

I shakily wiped the tears from my face and stood up. I couldn't let Shayne hurt Jake for something that wasn't even true. It was now or never.

I walked towards Shayne and stood on my toes in front of him. I placed my hands on either side of his neck and kissed him. Shayne didn't make a move to touch me but he responded to the kiss. I ran my tongue to the bottom of his lip and playfully bit down on it. I deepened the kiss and pressed myself closer to him.

Slowly, Shayne started snaking his arms around my waist. His hands were warm on my back. I could feel his claws slightly digging into my skin. When Shayne began to move us back to the bed I reached behind me and unclasped my bra. I pulled away from Shayne only to toss it on the floor. I smiled when Shayne let out a low growl.

He wasted not time in pushing me back against the bed and climbing on top of me. His hands immediately explored my exposed skin. I jerked when he pinched a pink bud between his fingers.

I moaned when Shayne started trailing kisses along my neck and down to my collarbone. I wiggled under him when he peppered several kisses on each breast. I was too distracted with the action to realize that he was fumbling with my jeans.

When I tried helping him, Shayne smacked my hand away. It seemed he wanted to take charge. I would allow him if that's what he wanted. I was too worked up to care who did the leading. All I knew is that I wanted him now.

Shayne slid off my jeans and my panties along with it. While I was now fully undress Shayne only removed his jeans but kept his boxers on. I was getting frustrated with the slow pace he was trying to take. I was slightly confused when Shayne laid beside me, but soon understood. I felt his hand caress my center.

"You're ready," Shayne said in a low growl.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the feeling growing in my core. I was breathing hard and I gripped the sheets. My eyes shot open when Shayne suddenly stopped. He swiftly slipped off his boxers and positioned himself on top of me. I couldn't see home member but I could feel it pressing against my entrance.

I placed my hands on Shayne's shoulders as if to steady myself. I cried out in pain when Shayne tried to enter me slowly. I kept jerking away and that caused Shayne to stop. I was scared of the pain it would cause me, but I wanted him so bad.

"I'm sorry," Shayne whispered in my ear as he buried his face in my hair. I was about to respond when I jerked his hips forward. I cried out at the suddenly feeling of having Shayne in me.

"Only mine," Shayne hissed, grazing his teeth against my skin.

I could only nod in agreement. I was only his and now he would know for sure.

"Mine." He said right before his teeth bit down into my flesh.
