After he was done, he nodded his head for her to jump onto his back again. Drake has shifted back into his wolf form and was waiting with the other wolves.
She went to jump onto his back, but failed miserably. As she fell flat onto her butt, she heard an almost snort coming from her mate and her eyes narrowed accusingly.
He dropped down to his stomach so she could climb on. Once she got settled, they began running again.
The sun was now setting, and Emmeline wondered how much longer it would take to get to their territory. They were traveling far and barely got a moment to rest. They only stopped when they needed to pee.
The sun had fully set, and the moon was not the only source of light along the many stars in the sky.
Emmeline yawned and snuggled further into her mates fur as she allowed his masculine scent to lure her to sleep.
When Emmeline woke up, she found herself sleeping on a large silk bed. She yawned again and stretched her body hitting something behind her.
She frowned and then she felt the arm that was draped around her waist and feeling of warmth that has seeped into her clothes.
When she glanced down, she noticed two things; and overly large and tattooed arm was around her waist and she wasn't wearing her sundress anymore but an oversized T-shirt. She wiggled around until she was facing the person behind her.
Slowly her gaze moved up his neck to his chin and then to his face.
She gasped softly. The man holding her was riddled with a small and large set of scars on his left side of his face, but he was the most beautiful man she has ever seen. She couldn't think of a time where she had ever seen a man so refined and perfect. He has perfectly plump lips that made her wonder what it would be like to kiss them.
Her eyes moved up and that's when she inhaled sharply.
The man was none other than Alpha Gideon Steel. His silver hair fell in a tousled mess on his head. She wiggled out one of arms and began running her hand through his tresses. Enthralled and amazed, she relished in the feel of his soft hair. When her gaze fell onto his face again, she saw him staring at her. Instantly she yanked her hand back.
"Y-you're awake." She stuttered. "I was just..."
He didn't say anything, only kept staring at her intently. Conscious now, she tried to get up but he tightened his hold on her, pulling her back into his chest. He cradled her head under his chin. She remained still as he held her close. After a few moments the warmth of his body quickly pulled her back to sleep.
When she awoke, she was alone in bed. She sat up, the soft silk blanket falling onto her waist as she looked around the room. It was a very large bedroom. Extravagantly expensive looking as she saw the TV hung on the wall. An oversized walk-in closet and a door that led to a bathroom that was as large as her room back home. She glanced at the clock noticing that it was eight in the morning.
