His Blessed Warrior Princess

Episode 4

Gia’s POV

“MATE!” Stella screams in my head. It takes everything out of me to not run to this man. Desire is starting to take over. I need to push it down quickly. I close my eyes and take a breath. When I reopen them Blake, the demon, and this hunk of a man are watching me.

“Gia this is my partner DJ” he says In the direction of the demon. I made my way back to the chair, my bag and necklace within reach. “And this is the owner of Shadow Hound, Nathan Cyrus.” He says in the direction of the man. He’s an alpha, there no doubt. He’s at least 6’5, long dark brown hair and the most beautiful blue/green eyes I have ever see. I feel myself getting lost in them when I hear my name.

“Gia it’s a pleasure to meet you.” DJ holds out his hand breaking me from Alpha Nathan’s eyes. I look at his hand but my intuition tells me not to shake his hand. I bow out of respect.

“It’s pleasure to meet you as well DJ.”

Stella is howling in my head, I’m starting to get a migraine. “Why aren’t you going to mate? He is right there!” I push Stella back again. I don’t understand, does this man feel the pull that I do? He doesn’t seem to be having the same effect.

“Gia, Blake here talks very highly of you” alpha Nathan says pulling me to him with his voice, it’s the most hypnotic voice I’ve ever heard. I want this man right here and now. I feel my desire trying to take over. Nathan walks very closely behind me as he goes to take a seat. His smell overwhelms me.

Stella is begging me to mate right now. She won’t stop and I’m having trouble keeping her back. It seems I don’t have the same effect on this man. He’s calm cool and collected. I take a seat back in my chair and take a water out of my bag. I take a drink hoping this will help calm me down.

“Gia, you have the Shaw name. As in alpha Joel Shaw?” DJ says and I say yes before even thinking about it. This man has me so scattered, all of my training and thoughts go out the door.

The three men look at each other. Alpha Nathan stands and walks around to the front of the desk right in front of me.”Gia please show me how you would take someone like myself down, with no weapons at your disposal.”

Is he serious? This man wants to fight when all I want to do is push him back on the desk and ride him until the sun comes up tomorrow? I stand and walk to the middle of the room. Nathan follows me and before I know it he’s got his arm around my neck cutting of my air supply fast, he has my back pressed against his chest. I try to wiggle free and nothing. I think I feel bulge in his member but I can’t think too much about that. I quickly dig my heel into the top on his foot and the same time I elbow his gut he loosen his grip enough to where I slide down his body and fall between his legs. I use my left foot to trip him and my right foot to force him forward. Nathan trips enough to where I can swing out my leg and bring him to the ground. Once he lands he turns over giving him to opportunity to get on top of him and putting all my weight into my forearm which is pressing into his neck.

Blake starts clapping distracting me. I realize quickly this was a test and I release my hold. “Wonderful job Gia. No one can bring Nathan down.” I smile and feel Nathan shift under me. I’m straddling him and I definitely feel his member harden against my core. I blush and stand, Stella whining in my head at the loss of touch between Nathan and I. I feel an overwhelming sadness also. Is this man really my mate? Why hasn’t he said anything?

I hold out my hand for Nathan. He grabs it and stands, heading towards the door he yells over his shoulder “ be here tomorrow by 9am to start training.” He closes the door and leaves without another glance back. There’s no way that’s my mate. That’s not how it’s supposed to be is it?

“Well I guess you got the job, congratulations!” Blake says

“Well you heard the boss, I’ll show you out” DJ opens the door for me. I grab my bag feeling confused. I slide my necklace on, my appearance going back to my blonde hair, blue eyed self. I got the job, I think following DJ out, he gives me a side eye but says nothing. The excitement I thought I would have is actually confusion and pain. Stella is still whining, upset we left our mate.

DJ bids farewell at the entrance and says he will send over everything I need for tomorrow. I step outside and am immediately getting soaked. It’s pouring again. Usually I hate the rain. Right now I welcome it. Rinsing off his scent, washing off his encounter. I make my way to my jeep and drive away towards the hospital.
