Lauren glared at him and started walking away, not wanting to make a scene as people continued walking past them
But his hand grabbed her arm.
“He is not good for us. We are trying to be okay, and having his annoying and slithering words

on you isn’t helping that.”
She pulled her arm away. “I know what I’m doing. If you couldn’t handle trusting me, then don’t bother making this work between us. We’re barely even honoring the matebond at this point.”
She quickly turned her back from him and marched back to the pack house. She had been trying to keep track of everything as she also busted herself with training and helping the pack.
But it has crossed her mind numerous times whether he was going to invite her to a Council meeting or at least make her feel like she wasn’t just a normal pack mate
“Lauren,” he followed, making her walk faster.
She was about to close the door on his face when he pushed her back, his strength much more than hers.
He stepped inside and closed the door behind him. Lauren glared at him and continued towards the second floor, but he continued following her.
“Stop walking away—” she took a turn towards their room. He grumbled deeply but she ignored him
She was already in front of the room, and she was already expecting him to cover the doorway, but Declan suddenly opened the door and pushed her inside
“Fine. You want to

inside-
She gasped when she almost stumbled upon the bed.
“W what are you doing?” Lauren stuttered when he suddenly started taking off his shoes. She met his eyes and she could see an intensity in it. And it wasn’t just annoyance or anger.
It was the same intensity she could feel building in her stomach.
“You always avoid me when I try to talk to you about us.”
“W–what? I don’t” She swallowed, acting all unaffected even when her wolf had started murmuring in excitement in her head. And she couldn’t even find in herself to shush her.
She stepped back when he started stalking towards her.
“Yes, you do.” He glared. “You made me think that you didn’t want me,” she felt the bed behind her knees, making her stop. Declan pulled her chin closer to his face, allowing her to see those icy eyes of his upclose.
Call I feel
“That you think leas of me. But all I feel now is the same burning want I have for you.”
never stopped dreaming about that
Lauren once again swallowed, remembering the feel of his lips on hers. That was almost a week ago, but she ne kin like a teenager.
“I was giving you your space, Lauren, You resisted me when I wanted to claim you quickly and loudly. And now that I’ve given you your time, you tell me I haven’t been consistent? Now, who is doing the push and pull”
“W–well. I–I” she started, but she couldn’t say anything. Because if truth be told, he was right.
She wasn’t even sure about what she wanted.
“What do you want, Lauren?” she caught her breath when he pulled her closer to him. She felt how hot his body was. “What do you want me tu

Declan’s clenched jaw just hardened even further. He was losing control. Since he got a taste of how sweet she was again with that kiss, he couldn’t stope craving for more.
So he grabbed her neck and pushed his nose closer on her. She felt her small and soft hand touch his arm as she gasped at his movement.
*Dammit. You smell so good.
Incan, it
His desires got the best of him and he finally touched his nose on the base of her neck and inhaled her skin. And when he heard Lauren me was done for him.
He kissed her skin, his lips making sure to cover every part he could reach Lauren squirmed beneath him, but he got a hold of her waist and pulled her closer, making her steady.
Lauren grabbed both of his arms, her eyes in a tight shut as overwhelming emotions started getting to her.
She didn’t expect this to escalate that quickly!
But she couldn’t find it in herself to complin
Since that kiss, she could feel a burning heart in her, just waiting to be ignited. And this…
This was igniting i
Declan started licking her skin. At the first touch of his hot tongue, she trembled and almost lost strength, as if getting melted by hot pits o
of fire.
Whilu Declan could no longer stop h
himself. What logic or any reason in his head why he should wait to claim her was burned out of his head.
All he wanted was to feel her against him again. To be with his wife–the love of his life again.
As if then thoughts were connected, Lauren suddenly felt the need to speak. Just when he mouth was raising towards her chin.
“D–Declan. I want to ask something,” she stumbled upon words, still her body and mind in haywire.
But Decan only groaned. His grip on her waist, tightening. His kisses hardening, Possessive
“I want to ask something- just a bit. Lauren’s mouth was shut when Declan pulled his head away from her neck just watch her for a while.
Lauren gasped for air when she uw how desire filled his eyes.
Those piercing blue eyes went to her lips. He touched a thumb on her lower lip.
“Of all the times you needed to ask something, you really chose this. You’re cruel,
“I just she wasn’t able to pay more when finally, he grabbed her neck and covered her mouth with his, swallowing whatever words she wanted to
Lauren moaned at the feel of his hot mouth on her. When his tongue danced around hers, she felt like her strength was taken away, but was immedutely given back with it.
His manly taste and the feel of his rough hands possessively pulling her close was making and breaking her at the same time.
It all felt like the first time. Maybe even better. He wasn’t drunk this time.
At the reminder of it, she remembered her question again.
So she pulled herself away from that brain shattering kiss, heaving in breath.
“H–larfore we continue, 1 juu want to ask something”
Destan’s hand on her neck and waist felt even i
It even more possessive. His eyes shining in impatience and want.
“Ask away in we panuld continue.”
His impatience had her stomach tighten, but she composed herself anul said,
“Were we ever divorced? I just want to know why you’ve claimed in the Rocky Mountains that I was your wife when we’ve cut ties
As if he had been waiting lais entire life to get asked by this. Declan immediately shook his head.
*150. I realized it was a mistake as soon as saw your signature on it. So I never approved it as Alpha of
