"I said no. Donte left anyway. Lily, I don't appreciate you speaking to or having physical contact with other males. That's reason enough for me not to let you go grocery shopping." Lily looked up at him, slightly incredulous. "But I was just shaking his hand," she argued. "You should have asked for my permission." "Why would I need to ask your permission for being polite?" "I don't care what reasons you give, Lily. I am your mate and your alpha. I am in control of everything you do." Lily stood up from the bed putting her hands on her hips like a child. "You can't be angry at me for having manners! Maybe you need to learn some!" She scolded in her soft, chiming, voice. He was surprised by her audacity, seeing as how she was so small and gentle. It was difficult to take her seriously.
