“I want to take you to bed properly,” he said.”This car isn’t worthy of what I plan to do to you next.”
He got out, and soon opened my door.Strong arms picked me up like I weighed nothing.
“Take off your blindfold,” he whispered as we entered what felt like his home.
“You’re asking me to take it off, so that means you lost our game, doesn’t it, Alpha Draven?” I teased.
“Yes, Caroline, I surrender. I need to see those beautiful eyes of yours,” he sighed, admitting defeat.
I pulled off the red ribbon, blinking in the dim light. Draven’s violet eyes watched me intensely, full of lust and something deeper that made my heart race.
He carried me to his bedroom,huge with a massive bed. When he laid me on the soft sheets, I reached for him, not wanting him even an inch away.
“Patience, little wolf,” he murmured, kissing my forehead. “The night is young, and I promised to make you come many more times.”
And fuck, did he deliver. We fucked on every surface in his apartment until morning. Sometimes slow and sweet, sometimes rough and wild.
By sunrise, my body was sore and marked everywhere with his scent, his cum, his love bites.
That night, I forgot all the reasons I’d tried to stay away. Nothing mattered except us together, exactly how it should be.
Draven’s POV
When Caroline and I collapsed exhausted onto the bed, the sun was already shining through the windows.We’d made love for hours-I’d kissed her, touched her, loved every inch of her body. We gave ourselves completely to the passion between us, and now I was certain that the same desire that made Alaric howl and my heart race, she felt it too.
I fell asleep with my beautiful mate in my arms, exhausted from the pleasure we’d shared and the happiness of finally being together. But I was too euphoric to sleep long,having her in my arms again was everything I’d been craving.
When I woke up, reality hit me like a silver bullet. My happiness evaporated instantly. I woke alone in bed, jumping up to search the room, desperately hoping she was just in the bathroom or the kitchen, but instead found a note on my nightstand.
I picked it up with trembling hands,she was gone.
[Dear Draven,
Last night was perfect. Our bodies fit together in ways I never imagined possible. Unfortunately for you, you still lost our little game, and you haven’t won back my heart. I will always love you, but I cannot forgive how you hurt me. So I must leave you again.
Caroline]
She’d even drawn a little smiley face on the note. Impossible woman! My eyes burned with tears I couldn’t hold back. So she’d fucked me last night, then left nothing but a note before running away? How could she torture me like this?
Alaric howled in pain inside me. She had left me, turned me down again. The words in her note cut deep, and for a moment stole every hope I had of winning her back.
I read and reread that note several times, and just when I was about to give in to despair, my eyes fixed on that small part where she said she would always love me. That was what I would hold onto. I would never give up on her,I couldn’t. I wouldn’t allow it; it was impossible.
Since she loved me, she would forgive me eventually, no matter how long it took or what hell I had to go through.
I reached out through the mind-link to Ryan,”Ryan, I need you.”
His response came instantly, annoyingly cheerful”What’s up, Alpha? Good night?”
“It was incredible and she left without forgiving me. I need your help.”I growled.
“Want me to gather our friends?”
“Yes. Get Joseph, Luke, and Nate. Storm Valley Club in an hour.”
“Of course, Alpha. Your command, our duty. We’ll be there.”
I broke the mind-link and headed for the shower, trying to wash away our sex scent. I was about to start my mission to win back her forgiveness.
An hour later, I arrived at the Storm Valley Club where my friends were already seated, waiting for me. The exclusive werewolf establishment was quiet at this hour, perfect for pack business.
“I hope I didn’t mess up anyone’s plans,” I said while greeting them, my Alpha energy somewhat subdued by my misery.
“Relax, Caroline beat you to it,” Nate said with a knowing smile.
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“She woke Elle up and said she needed to gather the girls urgently. According to Elle, they were going to have lunch somewhere and support Carrie. I don’t get it, you two left the bar together last night,” Nate said, looking confused.
“Elle called Kyle too. She told me the same thing and rushed out. Right when I was about to get the whip…” Luke said with dreamy eyes.
“We don’t need details about your sex, Luke,” Ryan said, making everyone burst into laughter. “And you, Joseph, aren’t you going to complain that Ava ran out too?”
“Oh, I wish I’d been that lucky,” Joseph sighed. “And what about you and Ruby?”
“I only got her phone number and nothing else,” Ryan admitted, running a hand through his hair.
“You guys got tangled up with some tough she-wolves, huh?!” Nate mocked. “Let me tell you something, Draven better get Caroline’s forgiveness soon, or before we know it, even our perfect little matings will be threatened. These females stick together like pack bonds, believe me!”
“That’s exactly why I called you guys,” I said, taking a seat at the head of the table. “I need to come up with a strategy! Eleanor is supposedly supporting me, but I need more help.” I spoke as if I were leading the most important pack meeting of my life.
“Moon Goddess, Draven, you’re so naive!” Nate said, putting his hand on his forehead.
“What do you mean?” I didn’t understand his comment.
“You really think Elle is helping you?” Nate asked incredulously. “She’s making you grovel! And she’s already told Caroline everything. Haven’t you noticed that everything she’s had you do is send messages and gifts to Carrie? She hasn’t set up a single meeting between you two. Yesterday, I was the one who told Joseph where we’d be. She’s not trying to convince Caroline to forgive you, she’s encouraging Caroline to punish you!”
“Son of a gun! ! She’s playing me?” My eyes flashed violet with anger.
“You bet she is! I love my mate, but she’s impossible and downright Machiavellian when she’s upset with someone! And she’d never do anything behind Caroline’s back.” Nate said with a smile while the others were laughing their heads off. Great, I’d become a joke among my own pack. “After we left the restaurant that day, she was triumphant, said she was going to teach you a good lesson. The first thing she did was tell Caroline everything.”
“And here I was thinking I had an ally!” I couldn’t believe I’d been outmaneuvered by a female.
“You have no idea what Elle and Caroline put me through when she thought I’d betrayed our mating bond. But at least she realized you really care about Liam, that’s good.” Nate gave me this information, and it really was something positive.
“So what do I do?” I asked, unsure whether to keep following Eleanor’s words.
