Double Mated Mutt

Chapter 5

Andy looks at me expectantly as I sit down. "Well?" he probes, unable to contain his curiosity. I just look down in my notes from yesterday and ignore him. I don't know how to explain this without putting him in harms way. Devin threatened his life if I even spoke to him. Maybe if I write it out.. I rip out a sheet of notebook paper and quickly scribble down the last day's events and hand it over to him. I left out the kiss and the naked circumstance I found myself in. Andy reads it over. He writes back 'So, I'll be dead if he catches us talking? Why don't you reject him?' I read it and feel a stabbing pain in my chest at the very thought. What’s happening to me? I write back 'Then he'll kill us both.' I don't mention that the idea of it almost kills me anyway. I slide it to him and he just nods solemnly. I think this is my fate. I'm his property now. But if that's all he sees me as, why did he cause a scene with Liam over me? I want to know what's going on in his head and if he really is as bad as everyone thinks, I'll reject him and let him kill me. It will be better than being forever tied to a madman.

As the class bell rings, Devin is waiting in the hall. He grabs my hand and I let him. We walk in silence until Devin says "Did you speak to him?" My breathe hitches a little and I say "I didn't say a word." I haven't told him a lie. He just nods at me, not really giving away whether he believes me or not.

The rest of the school day passes without another incident. I walk hand in hand headed to Devins car. Noone had said much of anything but I felt less invisible than I had in years, like I was being watched from every direction. The drive back to the packhouse didn't take long at all. I walked upstairs to the room I'd left this morning, my dufflebag was gone and my dirty laundry was gone out of the hamper as well. I rush back downstairs and find Devin in the common area where the student age wolves were all together. There was a handsome, older dark haired man next to him and they seemed to be deep in conversation. I stood several feet back, looking at my feet, waiting for him to be finished. The last thing I wanted to do was make Devin angry. "Can I help you?" The voice was powerful and authoritative, like Devin's, but softer. I look up to see who's speaking and realize it's the older man and he's most certainly talking to me. He eyes me warmly, and repeats himself. "uhhh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to interrupt you, sir. I was just waiting to speak to Alpha Devin." I quickly say, then pull my gaze back toward my feet. "That's fine, sweetheart. I was just about done, anyways. So happy to put a face to the name. I'm Devin's father, Samson." I look back up and at his now outstretched hand. I take it and he smiles. "What an honor it is to meet you, Truly." I smile back. Devin is looking at me like I have grown several heads in the last few moments. Devin excuses himself and walks toward me. He pulls me off away from everyone. "What's wrong?" He insists. I tell him about the bedroom and he says "Well, the maid needed her room back. So she put it in your new room. Come." He gestures up the stairs. He leads me to the very last room in the hall and opens the door. His scent is so heavy in this room. It's easily twice as big the other room. The big bed is the focal point and its dark bedset just fits perfectly. And all at once it occurs to me what is happening. This is Devin's room and he expects me to sleep here. With him. I look at him and gasp out loud at the look on his face. The sexy grin, the temptation dancing in his eyes is almost enough to let him have his way. I know I must be smarter than this. Devin stalks towards me, leans behind me and shuts the door. "I've been meaning to speak to you about something." He says. He leans back up and closes the distance between us. He puts his hands on the door next to both sides of my head, effectively trapping me between him and the door. I look up into his eyes and he leans forward slowly as if asking permission. The electric current running between us is at its strongest and I'm helpless against it. I slowly nod. He closes the distance and our lips are smashed together and I let myself melt into him. He drops his hands from the door and grabs my waist hoisting me up, pinning me between the door and his waist. I wrap my legs around him. I am so lost in him and it feels so good. He deepens the kiss, exploring my mouth with his tongue. I let my hands wrap in his hair. He breaks the kiss and breathlessly says "I want to mark you." Uh Oh.
