It's been about a week since the ceremony and we wasted no time in getting rid of that girl. Yes, I did want her dead, I mean she should be dead but honestly i feel for Mason.

I understand him after hearing that story and in the same way he shows he understands me in helping me find the farthest pack on a very secluded island. It's a small pack of female wolves so there'll be no man for her to steal, unless she goes both ways... anyways that's not my business! All I care about is the fact that she's finally gone.

Mason was sound asleep next to me, his tattoo covered arm wrapped around my hips. I noticed one of the tattoos were a giant tree and inside of the tree stump it had words written. I took a closer look trying to make out what it said.

"A-aki" I whispered trying to pronounce it

"Akila" he said, I looked over at him and his eyes were still closed but I knew he was awake

"What's that?" I asked tracing over his tattoo

"My mothers name," he said when I looked back his eyes were open

"It's beautiful," I said, truly it was a beautiful name, there were other names inside of the tree

Arden, Phelise, Yoree, Lael... and it went on and on

"It's my pack, my old pack... I got their wolf names put on me to never lose that connection" he said allowing me to sit up and examine it better.

The details were made nicely on the tree, his family tree. I felt dearly for him, imagine having your family ripped away from you like that, right before your eyes... and having to see the damage that was done after.

I didn't even notice I was crying until a tear fell on his arm. He sat up as well putting his arm around me and swiftly placing me on his lap having me face him.

"You don't have to cry Angel," he said wiping my tears

"I'm sorry- it's just heartbreaking, I'm so sorry you had to go through that" I said, my heart was heavy

He pulled me into his chest and kissed my head and forehead repeatedly, "it's fine mama, it won't ever happen again I won't lose my family twice" he comforted, "ill protect you and everyone in here with everything I've got"

I felt like I was grieving, this mate thing is more serious than I thought. A couple minutes later I felt him shuffle under me, "I got something for you" he said

I raised my head from his chest and he reached in the nightstand drawer taking out a little box, it had a cute little necklace with a black stone that was being held by a golden wire.

"It's a black tourmaline, to protect you." He said, " my mom used to wear these red garnet stone raindrop shaped earrings, for good health and courage and passion" he said

"And she never lacked any of those," I smiled as I looked at the pretty necklace

"It's beautiful Mason," I said he smiled back and sat up to put it on me

Everything finally felt normal at least as normal as it gets in this place. I played with the stone and smiled to myself. I felt masons eyes on me and his hand rested on my thigh

"What are your plans for today ?" I asked him

"I just have some training to do today" he replied laying back down with me following

"You train or you're being trained ?" I asked

"Both, I train the stronger wolves in the morning before they go off and help the others in other fields of training"

"Everyone goes off to training ?" I asked

He chuckled running his hands through my hair, "what's the sudden interest in training angel? You wanna be more undefeated? You're already the strongest human I know"

I giggled, "there's always room to get stronger," I said

"Oh yeah?" He teased

"Yeah" I replied

"Show me what you're working with then" he said and before I can even react he was on top of me

My arms pinned above my head and him straddling me not putting too much weight on me but enough that I'm held captive under him. "Go ahead and escape or get on top, if you can I'll train you personally"

I tried wiggling my wrists free but to no avail i squirmed around trying to get free but nothing. If only I could get one leg loose it'd be easier...

" you look pretty like this," he smirked touching my chin, he lowered himself to give me a kiss on my cheek and neck

"That's not allowed," I said as he kissed my sweet spot

"Yeah?" He asked his voice dropping lower "says who?" And before I can even get my thoughts out aloud there was a very soft bite on my spot Causing me to melt under him and let a small moan out

"Sheesh, I barely even touched you" he chuckled

I laughed rolling my eyes at him, "that isn't part of this you're cheating"

He chuckled again at me, "I don't remember those rules... last I remember was telling you-"

He was talking and I guess by instinct he removed his weight off me thinking he was crushing me I took the chance to slip my legs out wrapping them around his waist and flip ya so now I was on top.

"Check mate bitch. You left an opening" I said as I was now sitting on top of him

He was taken by surprise but I can tell he was impressed, "you distracted me," he whined

"You distracted yourself" I stated moving his hair away from his face

His hands sat on my thighs close to my ass and my hands rested on his chest, his eyes stared at me a little smile lingering on his lips, "you look pretty like this" I mocked him touching his stubbled chin

He laughed making small circles on my thighs, "you think so ? I didn't think this was my best angle" he joked

We laughed and stared each other down for a few minutes. I had to just take in all his beauty and sexiness, "take a picture it'll last longer" he said a smile on his face

I laughed and shook my head as he sat up still keeping me in place in his lap, "I could say the same to you, no? You almost got hypnotized there"

"I'm sorry you're just captivating I can't help but get lost" he says moving my curls behind my ears

Our noses were inches away from each other. His hands reached my face pulling my head higher to where our lips were now inches apart, "I know what you want" I said keeping my eyes on his lips

"I know what you want" he replied

"You do?" I hummed wrapping my arms around his neck

"Mhmm" he hummed back biting his lip

"Then give it to me"

He smirked having a low chuckle escape. He stared at my lips then slowly out eyes met, "say that again, a little louder I don't think I heard you"

"Super human werewolf can't hear me? That's unreal" I joked, he chucked Nd I laughed

As if In the blink of an eye I was back on my back. The shirt I wore was riding up and it was quite easy for him to take it off leaving me in just my underwear.
