Forty Days Before
To say Greyson was mad would be an understatement. This guy is going all wolfie mode the next day while I'm just sitting on his office chair drink my hot chocolate.
"Someone has dared to touch her father!! I deserve to know who the hell it was before I rip loro palle fuori!!" He spat over the phone.
Now I know that threat of ripping their balls out is a bit too much. But I don't say anything.
"I agree son, but please remember that Ana hardly remembers him." Nathaniel explained full of reason.
"She's mine though!! I wish you didn't make me leave town up north to visit some random stupid pack!!!" Greyson seethed.
"I'm sorry but Greyson, as part of being the Alpha King. You have to visit other packs that are really far away. But the plus side is that you don't have to be alone. You can take Ana with you the next time you visit a pack." He explains with a laugh.
Greyson just growled. I guess he got mad because that wasn't the topic Greyson was thinking when he blamed his father for making him leave town around the time that mysterious man saved me. But ignoring that, I place my mug of hot chocolate on the black wooden desk and then looked over at a red eyed Greyson. It's now or nothing.
"Come sit down alfa, you need to relax." I say looking at him, at his reaction to when I said my first Italian word to him which was alpha.
Greyson's eyes went from red to black and he licked his lips.
"I'll call you later father. Bye." He hanged up and placed his phone on the bookshelf that was next to him.
It shocked me how tall he was because the bookshelf was taller than me.
He then walked up to me and lifted me up and sat down and sat me in his lap. He looked down at me with his black eyes.
"My Compagno giocherellona. You speak Italian with that pretty little mouth of yours?" He asks impressed licking my left cheek.
"Yes, I took Italian back home in college." I whispered looking into his eyes.
I really don't get why that was naughty though because he just called me his naughty mate.
"I'm impressed my little mate. My mother is full Italian. She grew up in Florence, Italy and moved here into this town when she was seventeen. That is when she met my father. And you know what happened after." He explains.
"She seems like a nice woman." I say truthfully.
Greyson nodded then looked at my lips and bit his own.
"May I baciarti bello?" He asks huskily.
He asked me if he could kiss me, which I thought about and then looked at him and nodded.
He smirked and crashed his lips onto mine, and I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he gripped my waist and I felt his tongue pushing mine around. I felt a hand grip my butt and give it a big s******g making me gasp. I then ended up straddling him without breaking contact.
After for what feels like twenty minutes, I pulled away panting. He wasn't done because he was kissing my neck. He kissed this one spot and pulled away with a smirk.
"That spot on your neck, is where I will mark you." He says with a grin.
I just blushed. Why is he so blunt about everything?!
"Come on Ana let's go to the living room because I want to watch the news." He explains while patting my butt making me get up.
Once he stood up, he grabbed my hand and I grabbed my hot chocolate and we both walked out of his office. I made sure to turn the light off.
We walked into the living room and he sat down on the couch and turned on the TV with a remote that was on the couch. I sat next to him on the end and he wrapped an arm around my waist and started to rub my hip.
"It looks like it's going to be 68 degrees all this week so dress warm all of you." The weather woman says annoyed like she knows nobody is paying attention to the weather let alone the news.
"Do you have anything warm?" Greyson asks kissing my arm.
"Uh, just like three jeans I think." I say awkwardly.
Greyson was looking at me intensely. Thinking.
"Hey Greyson, uh do you talk to your wolf?" I squeaked.
I hate when he looks at me like that, it's so intimidating that I don't look into his eyes.
He just chuckles.
"No, I don't. We don't communicate and he doesn't have a name. He is just a conscience really. And he senses when there's danger or his mate is near." He says while looking at me with a smile.
"Oh, um like is he nice??" I ask with a cough.
"Not when you're in trouble. But being near you is calming enough for him." He informs.
"Um okay, is he a black wolf?" I asked.
Greyson was thinking and then reached over at the end table and grabbed a picture frame.
He placed it in my lap, and I looked at it. Reading it like a book cover.
It was a picture of a black wolf with brown patches all over it. It was pretty huge, and he was only sitting down like a normal dog would do when it's being told to sit.
"He's beautiful Greyson, I can't wait to meet him. And not the night of the ceremony but like playing with him you know?" I ask looking up at him.
Greyson's eyes were pitch black and smiling.
"He would love that Ana." Greyson says softly.
"Okay, so you got your picture taken?" I asked.
"Yeah that picture was taken when I had my first shift. Which was when I turned sixteen. Well, a week later. You don't shift on your birthday you shift a week later or sometimes a month depending on how strong your wolf will be." He explains as a matter of fact.
I just bit my lip and then had a thought.
"Does it hurt? Changing into your wolf?" I ask putting the picture back to where it was before.
"Yes, it does hurt, it feels like fifty of my bones are breaking at the same time." He cringes and sighs.
I kissed his cheek. Causing him to smirk and bite my lips.
"So, any other questions? Because I want to cook dinner for my mate." He winked.
"How did you know I'm your mate? If you can't talk to your wolf?" I sigh.
"He just kept growling and whining when I was going towards the castle doors and then I smelled a delicious scent of peppermint and lilac." He said while sniffing me to make a point.
Then my stomach grumbled making me feel awkward. Greyson smirked and then I stood up and he grabbed my hand yet again and then making his way into the kitchen.
"Sedersi bello." He mutters placing me on the stool and got out some pots.
I rolled my eyes, who just says sit down beautiful? I then continued to drink my now cold hot chocolate and look around the giant kitchen. Man, it was huge, I can just twirl around this entire kitchen. Which is something that I will probably do.
"Does homemade pizza sound good?" He asked while looking at me curiously.
He can make pizza. What else can this guy make?
"Uh yeah but I like pepperoni and green peppers on it." I whispered looking down embarrassed.
I felt a hand under my chin and Greyson is looking into my eyes making me feel like I'm having a little Deja Vu moment.
"You never have to feel embarrassed in front of me piccolo Compagno." He states while kissing both of my cheeks.
"O-okay." I sigh closing my eyes.
Then opening them and watched as he began to make homemade pizza.
"Besides beautiful, I like green peppers on mine too." He laughs while turning on the oven.
"Why do you call me that?" I asked softly.
"Beautiful? I call you what you are sweetie." He chuckles.
This made me blush some more.
Later, that night, I was lying in bed.
We only had about four slices and there are six left in the fridge. Because I only wanted two and he only wanted two. I guess more pizza then, which is a good thing.
I was about to fall asleep when I heard some whimpering outside of my door and then some screaming.
"GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BASTARD I WILL KILL YOU!!" Greyson screamed.
I sat up and slid out of bed knowing that Greyson was having a nightmare. So, I walked out of my room and quietly I opened his bedroom to find him moving around on his bed and whimpering. I tipped toed up to his bed, and then lightly grabbed his arm.
He shot up and was panting. I turned on the lamp and frowned at him.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" He asks softly.
"No, you're fine. It was just a nightmare." I informed lowly.
"Oh okay, thanks for checking on me." He said while biting his lip and looking down at his lap.
I nodded and then started to walk away but his hand grabbed my elbow and dragged me back to the bed with him.
"Dormire con me...." He murmured while covering us up with his black comforter.
I sighed but agreed to sleep with him. So, I buried my face into his chest, and I heard him turn the lamp off and I fell asleep with his arms wrapped around me tightly.
Thirty-nine Days Before
I was eating breakfast with Greyson and Tristen. They were talking about pack stuff, whatever that means, while his hand was rubbing my inner thigh going up and then back to where it was repeatedly.
"Ana, is that okay with you? Coming with us to the Northridge Pack? We'll only stay there for three days. And you can stay by me the whole time we are there because I don't trust the alpha there because he's mate-less." Greyson explains with disgust.
"Yeah sure when are we leaving?" I asked while taking another bite of my bacon.
"Tomorrow. We leave in the morning because it's a nine hour drive up north." Greyson grunts in annoyance.
"Okay, and is it only in this town that the females aren't werewolves or is that everywhere?" I asked looking at the two of them.
Greyson was thinking of something while eating his scrambled eggs and Tristen gave me a small smile.
"Everywhere, only the males can shift." Tristen says.
I nodded and continued to eat.
Once we all finished, we sat down in Greyson's office. Tristen took the seat across from Greyson, while Greyson sat on his chair. I started to walk to the empty seat next to Tristen, but Greyson growled at me and patted his lap. I rolled my eyes but walked around the desk and sat on his lap.
"Okay here is the file on the Northridge Pack." Tristen explains handing Greyson the file.
Greyson opened it, and my eyes widened that there was a total of 980 people. Pups included.
"These people make me sick. Even alpha Paul annoys the hell out of me." Greyson growls while looking at his file.
He r***d two women. His first being his mate, Sofia but ended up killing her because she didn't give him a male pup. His daughter was banished because he thought of her as a disappointment. And the second woman was someone my age, and her name is Jenny. She is currently pregnant with his pup and it's a boy.
"He's mean." Was all I can say.
He's such a bastard. Who would kill their own mate?
"I heard that he would mate with any female to have more pups." Tristen scoffs.
Greyson was growling.
"He's not touching Ana, if that's what he wants." Greyson spat.
I leaned my back against his chest and made his hand touch below my belly button.
"If my mate is there, I'm making her leave as soon as possible." Tristen says with a growl and showing his canines.
Greyson instantly wrapped both arms around my boobs and pushed me against him some more.
"Calm yourself beta. And if she is there, don't let her out of your sight. As a matter of fact, she can be with Ana while we're there" Greyson commanded making Tristen bow and nod.
"Good, now we're going because my father is sick of how Paul acts. And he's sending us to whip him back into shape. Tristen, you'll be checking on beta Graham. He seems to be a horrible abusive beta to his mate. And pack mates, and not just check him but beat him back to be a good beta." Greyson commands.
Tristen looked up and nodded.
"This pack really does need work." I sighed.
Both guys nodded their heads agreeing with me.
