Double Mated Mutt

Chapter 3

I awaken with a start, still in the room Devin left me in last night. He kissed me, basically claimed me as his property, and left me. I am so confused. I was sure he would reject me. Sure he would sever the tie between us as soon as he realized who I was. A Mutt, someone so lowly that an alpha would never want to be with me. I recall the kiss. It was full of lust on both sides. I still can't believe the way my body betrayed me. Immediately surrendering to him in that way, it's so unreal. He's a cold blooded killer, I remind myself. I need to speak to Andy. I need to tell him about this "rule." It's f*****g absurd. He isn't my husband, I've not been marked and I am not his property. But I do fear for Andy's safety. He should know he's in danger. I take a long shower in the beautifully decorated bathroom. The hot water cascades around me. It feels so good. I wrap a towel around me and head back into the bedroom to put on my clothes. As I get to the bed, I remove the towel and sit down to dress. I put on my underwear and to my embarrassment, the door opens and I am met with Devin's now ravenous eyes. I jump up and through the towel around my scantily clad body. I turn away and hear the door close. Thank God, a gentleman in this instance at least. I turn back around and I am face to face with him. He didn't leave as I had thought. We are standing inches apart and the electricity I am feeling is unbearable. I clutch the top of the towel in my hands and finally look up into his eyes. His eyes are hooded, intoxicated in the same feelings as me, I'm sure. I need to get some distance from his wandering eyes and, to be honest, my lust filled imagination. A picture of us in the throes of passion comes unbidden into my mind. And as if sensing this, he smirks. My face flushes and I look down, flustered. I don't want to want him in this way. I break the silence. "I need to dress." I say, my voice small. He steps around the bed and grabs a duffle bag from the armchair. "I took the liberty of getting you some things. Your prick of an alpha said you didn't have much and what you did have didn't seem...suitable." He spoke with Alpha David? When? I realize I am going to get a beating for being away. It was already past breakfast time at the packhouse and I am not there to help prepare it. The dread washes over me. He'll be much angrier by the time school is out. "You didn't have to do that, I could've just worn what I had." I say, still looking away from him. "It would be hard for you to do that when you aren't going back there." He says flatly. My eyes dart up to his beautiful face. "I'm sorry, what? Of course I have to go back." He looks like he's getting frustrated. "You are MY mate, this packs future Luna, and you WILL stay here with me." He demands. The dread from the foreseen beating is replaced by the fear of what will happen to me here. I am sure to become a prisoner if I refuse flat out. I need a plan. So instead of arguing, I just sigh and once again say "I really need to get dressed. I'm going to be late." He gives me a full 'I'll eat you up' once over and does that sexy little mischievous grin, then he turns on his heels and walks out, closing the door behind him. Leaving me half naked, full of want and desperation, and a head full of thoughts.
