Mated For Life (Book 1 of the Mates Series)

Chapter Four

Egan

Goddess, thank you for making her my mate. I send up a silent prayer. I grab Aaliyah’s hand and turn around. I see her mother and father looking surprised at my outburst and kiss. “I apologize, Alpha Sarafian. I did not mean to be rude. I will take my leave now, so you can celebrate her birthday.” I say before turning to my mate. “Aaliyah, I made breakfast for you. It is sitting on the table.” I bring her hand up to my lips in goodbye, and turn to take my leave.

“Egan, wait.” Aaliyah says.

I turn to face her, “Yes?”

“Stay, please.” she says.

“You should spend time with your family,” I say.

“No, Egan. I want you to stay with us. Please.” she says giving me her best puppy dog eyes.

“If that is what you wish Aaliyah, then I will stay.” I say as she takes my hand again. She drags me back into the kitchen to the table where I placed her food. I sit down next to the seat with her food in front of it. She makes me move my seat out more, then sits on my lap. I wrap my arms around her waist so she doesn’t fall. I felt an enormous erection coming on. She obviously feels it too. Every once in a while she would move her hips grinding on me. She pulls her plate closer to her and starts to eat. Her long golden hair is tied up out of the way. Every once in a while, she would feed me her food. I tried to deny the food, but she insisted. Her and her parents talked nonchalantly about what to do for her birthday. They did not seem to mind her being on my lap. I had trouble keeping my mind on the conversation as my mate was grinding on me. They soon figured out a plan for what they are going to do for Aaliyah’s birthday.

“Egan, come on,” Aaliyah says standing up and pulling me out of the kitchen.

“Where are we going?” I ask.

“Just come on silly,” she says laughing lightly.

Her face was bright as she dragged me upstairs. I had no idea where we were going, I was just going along with it. A thought has just occurred to me. My parents don’t know. “Aaliyah?” I ask, coming to a stop. “Since your parents know, we should tell mine.” I say matter of factly. She looks at me with those hypnotizing ice blue eyes. She thinks about it for a second, and then nods.

“Seems only fair.” she says.

I peck her on the cheek. She smiles, and kisses me on the lips. Trevor starts to take over as lust fills me. I tilt my head slightly to deepen the kiss. She puts her arms around my neck and her fingers tangle in my hair pulling slightly. My arms go around her waist and pull her close so that we were flush against each other. I nip at her lip asking for entrance, but she denies. God this woman is intoxicating. I kiss up her jaw, a small moan escaping her perfect lips. I continue to kiss down her neck, nipping it every once in a while.

“Egan” she moans out. The way she moans my name. I continue to make my way down her neck. My hands slip under her shirt. My hands resting on the small of her back. I got down to the nape of her neck. I found the spot where I wanted to mark her. I so want to mark her so badly.

Then why don’t you? Trevor asks.

I will only mark her when she is ready. Not a moment before. I tell him, frustrated. I pulled away from her breathing heavily.

“I will see where my parents are,” I say.

I mind-link my father Alpha, is there any chance that Aaliyah and I can have a moment with you and Luna?

Yes son, meet us in the study in 5 minutes, my father mind-links.

Thank you Alpha. I mind-link back.

“Aaliyah, my father wants to meet us in the study to talk.” I tell her.

She nods her head, “We should go then.” she says.

I nod and take her hand. We make our way to the study. I knock on the door before entering. There was no answer so I peek my head in. He wasn’t there yet. I walk in with Aaliyah and we sit in the chairs next to the coffee table to wait.

Within a few minutes my father came into the room followed by my mother. I rise and bow in respect, Aaliyah does the same.

“Alpha, thank you for seeing us.” I say.

“Is there something you needed?” my father says.

“Um…. I just wanted to inform you that I found my mate…” I stutter looking at the floor and then to Aaliyah.

“Is that so?” he asks.

“Yes Alpha Shor” Aaliyah says.

“That’s great honey, I know you two will be happy together!”, my mother said.

“Thank you Luna,” I say.

“You don’t have to be so formal with us when your mate is around Egan, I mean seriously. Why are you always so formal anyway?” my mother asks.

“It would be disrespectful otherwise,” I reply.

“There is no need to be so formal, even in public,” my father says.

“I do not want the pack to disrespect you, so I show my support for you. Even if I am your son and the future Alpha. I will not tolerate disrespect from anyone,” I tell him.

“Son, you are the Alpha. You found your mate. Once you mark her, the ceremony will begin,” my father said.

I look at Aaliyah. “That will only happen when she is ready. I will not force her,” I say.

“Egan, you can mark me tonight, I’m ready,” Aaliyah says looking straight into my eyes.

“We will talk about this later,” I tell her.

What are you doing? She wants us to mark her. Why don’t you just do it? You know you want too, Trevor says.

Like I said earlier Trevor, I want to make absolutely sure this is what she wants, I tell him.

I am going to talk to my mate, Trevor tells me. He goes and talks to our mate’s wolf.

I sigh. “Alpha, may we take our leave? Aaliyah and her family have something planned for the day,” I tell them. My father nodded. I bow in respect, and lead Aaliyah out of the study.

Egan! Trevor says trying to get my attention.

Yes Trevor, I reply.

Selene, Aaliyah’s wolf, tells me that they both crave to be marked. They want us to mark them. They want us to do it tonight, I think we should complete the mating process, Trevor says.

We should talk about what the Silver Moon pack, and the Blood Moon pack will do. Whether they are to merge, or we stay separate. We should talk to father, and Alpha Sarafian before we mark each other. We should have dinner with both of our parents tomorrow, I tell him.

“Aaliyah, can we postpone marking until we know what will happen to both packs, whether they will merge and take a new name, or we keep them separated. If we keep them separate, who will run the Silver Moon Pack when your father steps down?” I ask her.

She kind of looks surprised. She then thinks about it and nods while saying, “That is very thoughtful, wanting to know where both packs stand. I’m so grateful that you want to know what will happen to my pack. Not many would think of that,” she says.

“Let’s get ready for the rest of the day,” I say to her. We walk upstairs. I go to my room, and she, hers. I change into a nice button up shirt and some nice jeans. I open the door, and head to Aaliyah’s room. I knock on her door, and wait for an answer.

“Come on in,” she says. I walk in and sit on her bed. She was in the bathroom curling her hair. She had finished her makeup already. She has a thin, silk black robe that comes to a stop around her mid thigh. Her ivory skin looks so soft. While she moves, her robe shifts and shows her upper thigh. Just watching her gets me hard.

Oh, what she does to me has to be criminal, I thought. She finishes curling her hair. She braids a strand of hair on each side, and pulls them back so it looks kind of like a braided golden crown. When she is done, she walks to her closet and pulls out a really sexy red dress. The dress has a small dip that will show very little of her breasts. It has an open back, and that will hit her just above her knees.

“Egan, can you lock the door please?” she asks me. I nod my head and go lock the door. I turn around and go back to the bed. When I reach the bed, I sit on her bed facing her way. Without warning, she undoes her robe, and lets it fall to her ground. She wasn’t wearing a bra. The lacey dark blue panties do not hide much. I could feel Trevor taking over as my eyes darkened with lust. I stand up and make my way over to her.

Fuck, I want to make her mine. Why does she affect me so? I think as I finally make it to her side. I bring her head up to look at me. Her lips are slightly parted and her eyes dark with lust. I bring my head down and our lips connect. My hand that was on her chin goes to the back of her neck. The sparks that erupt whenever I touch her is exhilarating. The more we touch the more I want her. She moves her hands under my shirt placing them on my chest. I push her up against the wall as Trevor tries to take over. I push him back so I have full control. I lift her up, putting her legs around my waist. She starts unbuttoning my shirt. I move one of my hands to her breast, feeling the soft flesh under my hand. I start kneading it lightly. I start to kiss down her neck. I got to the nape of her neck where I wanted to mark her.

“Egan,” She moans.

Damn, I love it when she moans my name. I wish I could mark her now, I think. I nipped at the spot I wanted to mark. She moans again, making me harder and I almost lost control. I take that bit of flesh in my mouth and suck on it breaking some of the blood vessels. I take a look at my handy work seeing the hickey forming instantly. The scent of her arousal is making it harder to keep in control of myself. I move down and take her tight n****e into my mouth. She moans even louder. I move away from the wall and take her to her bed. I lay her down, and climb on top of her taking her lower lip and lightly biting it. I lick it slowly and she shivers.

“Please,” she pleads.

“Please what?” I ask her.

“Please, I need you,” she pleads again.

“Are you asking me to have s*x with you?” I ask.

“Yes, please,” she asks.

“Not right now. Your parents are waiting for us,” I tell her. I kiss her swollen lips once more then slowly get off her. I grab her dress for her. I take it back to her and hand it to her. She takes the dress from me, and I turn around to give her some privacy. I hear fabric moving while I button my shirt back up. I feel a hand on my arm and turn to face her. I openly check her out. Her dress fit perfectly. The temporary mark on her neck made me proud. I was glad that I could claim her that way since we need to talk about the packs with our parents before we complete the mating process. I pull her into a hug and kiss the top of her head. I leave one arm draped over her shoulder, and we walk out and down the stairs to meet her parents.

We meet her parents at the front door. Luna Elsie looks at her daughter’s neck seeing the hickey I gave her. Luna Elsie winks at her making Aaliyah blush and look away. Luna Elsie nods my way showing that she is happy at my restraint. Alpha Sarafian looks at me and his eyes glaze over like he was mind-linking someone. I look over at Luna Elsie, her eyes are also glazed over. Luna Elsie glares at her mate.

“Aaro, leave them be. Do you not remember when you first found me? He respects her. She is not fully mated, or even marked. An hour after we met and knew we were mates, we had fully mated. He seems to want to wait until she is ready. So you need to apologize to Egan right now!” Luna Elsie yells. Alpha Sarafian hangs his head, feeling guilty.

“I’m sorry Egan. I am grateful for your will power. It takes a lot of control,” Alpha Sarafian acknowledges.

I nod my head in acceptance. I mind-link father, Alpha. Would it be possible to have dinner out tomorrow with Alpha Sarafian, his Luna, and Aaliyah? We need to discuss the future of both packs.

That would be great, Egan. Have you mated with her yet? It is really important that it happens soon, he mind-links back.

No I have not. I want to wait till I know she is ready. I also need to know where both packs stand before I can let myself have her fully, I mind-link back, then close the link.

“Alpha Sarafian, I would like to invite you, Luna Elsie, and Aaliyah to have dinner with my family and I tomorrow. There is much to talk about, but since it is Aaliyah’s birthday. We should have fun and celebrate, since it is her day,” I say to them.

“That would be amazing, Daddy can we please go?” Aaliyah says.

“Yes, we will have dinner with you and your parents,” he accepts. Aaliyah jumped up and down excited.

All of a sudden one of the pack sluts named Claire comes waltzing in. She sees my arm around Aaliyah. She glares at her, and comes up to me. She grabs my arm, pushing her breasts against my arm. Her crop top cuts low that leaves nothing to the imagination. Her skirt is so short that it hardly covers her ass. Aaliyah growls, her possessive Alpha wolf coming out. I look at her disgusted. I pull my arm away from her. She glares at Aaliyah even more.

“Why are you so interested in this slut?” Claire asks. Alpha Sarafian and Luna Elsie growls at her comment. She didn’t even care. She looks at me with lust.

“That Is enough Claire, leave now,” I tell her lowly holding back a growl.

“You know you want me,” Claire says while running her fingers up and down my chest.

I grab her hand and say in my Alpha-tone, “I said enough! Leave now or you will regret it!” She looked terrified and surprised. I glare at her with hate. She cowers and walks away with her head down. I bring Aaliyah closer to me. I nuzzle my nose into her hair, and take a few deep breaths, her scent calming my anger.

“Thank you,” Aaliyah says. I just smile down at her and kiss her head.

“I apologize for the behavior of one of my pack members,” I apologize to my mate and her family. “She will be punished for her actions.”

They all nod. We all head out the door. There were two cars out front, a car my parents are lending the visiting Alpha and Luna. The car is a silver 2018 Ashton Martin DB11. The other car is my personal vehicle. I worked my ass off to pay for it since I did not want to use the pack funds. I rebuilt it myself. My car is a sleek black 1967 Chevrolet Impala. It has four doors and is my baby. I don’t let anyone drive it except when Liam pulls it out for me. I look over at Aaliyah, her eyes shining as she stares at my car. “Alpha Sarafian, you can drive the Ashton Martin, I will take my Impala. Aaliyah can ride with me or with you. It is up to her,” I say looking at Aaliyah. She could not take her eyes off of my baby.

“Alright, which would you like to ride in Aaliyah?” Alpha Sarafian asks.

“Could I ride with Egan?” Aaliyah asks.

“That’s alright with us Aaliyah, just don’t distract him too much while he is driving,” Luna Elsie says. Aaliyah jumps up and down giddy, she starts walking to the car with me on her heels. She reaches her hand out to open the door, but I beat her to it. I help her into the car, and she sits down on the clean black seat looking at the interior. I close the door, and head to the drivers side. I get in and kiss her cheek before turning the engine over and my baby purrs to life.

Damn this car sounds so sexy, I think. I put it into drive waiting for her parents to get in and to start their car. “Where are we going first?” I ask.

“We are going antiquing, do you know any good places?” she asks in return.

“There are not many here in Silverton, maybe two or three, but there are some great ones at the beach. It’s about an hour drive, but they also have an outlet mall with a bunch of stores. There is a big mall and a lot of different stores in Salem. It is up to you,” I tell her.

“Hmmmm, maybe we should just go to the Salem mall. I really want to get a new piercing, do you know a good place?” she asks.

“Yes, I know a place. I have a plan for a tattoo anyway, so I could get that while you are getting your piercing,” I say. She nods and mind-links her parents to tell them where we are going.

“Can you lead the way? My parents have no idea where to go,” she says. I nod and pull out to lead them to the mall. While driving down Silverton road, I felt Aaliyah’s hand brush against mine. I grab her hand and place a soft kiss on the back of it. I intertwine our fingers and bring our hands to the console. I look over to her and smile. We make it to the Salem mall, and get out of the car.
