Roxie smirked but went blank.

I looked at the TV and realized the film was rolling the credits.

The clock on the wall to the side read eight.

“I think we should go up to bed,” blurts Roxie.

I looked at her, but she was standing beside me. I got up and stood in front of her. Roxie looked up and sighed. “I know it’s early, but I…” she said, but stopped. The look she gave me was weird, but she bit her bottom l!p.

Without saying another word, she turned and walked toward the stairs.

I watched as she left, not knowing what the hell had happened.

I sighed and followed her, but by the time I got to the top of the stairs, her door had closed.

I walked toward my room and went inside.

I scanned over the room and felt like I had failed yet again.

I walked over and sat on the bed. I left my phone there this morning when Jason knocked on the door to tell me he was going.

I picked it up, and there were a few missed calls from my father.

I scrolled down and pressed to phone him. He answered on the first ring, which wasn’t a good sign. “Lex,” he said. “How are things?”

I sighed. “Fine, Dad,” I said. “I had a few missed calls; what’s going on?”

“I will cut to it,” he said. “I have reason to believe that Naomi is working with the rogues.”

A low growl escaped my l!ps, “How?” I asked as anger filled my veins.

“I used one of the guards I trusted to follow her,” he said. “She slipped up.”

I didn’t say anything. My mind was racing once again; Naomi was working with rogues. But I couldn’t help; something else must be at play here.

“How are things with Roxie and you?” he asked, pulling me from my thoughts.

“We are okay,” I said. “We are taking it slow.”

My father stayed quiet, but he sighed. “That’s good news,” he said. “You both need to come home.”

I stared ahead. “I don’t…” I started to say, but my father cut me off. “I know you want to let Roxie have time, but your pack needs its alpha.”

I closed my mouth. I knew my father was right, and I had to be back with my pack. I just hoped that Roxie would come with me.

I closed my eyes. “When do you want me home?” I asked.

“Come back tomorrow morning, noon at the latest,” he said.

“I will be there,” I said.

“I hope Roxie comes back with you,” he said.

“Me too,” I muttered.

My father hung up, and I placed my phone back on the bed.

I sighed.

I might as well get ready for bed.

I got up from bed and was about to walk toward where my clothes were. But I stopped and sniffed.

Roxie’s scent was wafting toward me. She was at the other side of the door.

I walked over and opened it.

I held the door open, and there stood my mate, who had her arm out, ready to knock on my door.

Her cheeks flushed slightly as her eyes met mine.

ROXIE

I can’t believe Bex talked me into this.

I was okay with being in my room and even changed into a long nightshirt. But Bex had other ideas.

After the talk with Lex, my mind swirled over what he said. I knew he was sorry, but I didn’t need any more apologies from him. I wanted him to start showing me the true alpha I knew he could be.

Bex was talking non-stop when I entered my room. His scent drove us crazy, affecting every fiber in my body not to straddle him while we were on the couch.

He looked hot and n.aked before me when he shifted back to his human form.

I lied when I told him that Blaze was more handsome than him; honestly, they were stunning. Blaze’s fur was soft to the touch, and he towered over me; I felt protected. Bex was proud to see that I was trying.

“I am,” she said. “Now, concentrate on, mate.”

I looked back at her, drool slipping out of the corners of her mouth. She was one h0rny wolf. “You feel the same too,” she said. “You have been daydreaming about what you want to do with him most of the time.”

f**k.

I looked back at Lex, standing in front of me, holding his door open. He looked confused.

“Rox,” he said. “What’s wrong?” sounding worried.

“Um..” I started to say, but his scent wafted toward me and made my mouth water slightly. I l!cked my bottom l!p. I can’t take this anymore.

I used my speed and ran at him, jumping at him and slamming my mouth on his to k!ss him.

f**k.

Lex stood rooted to the sp0t, but after a few seconds, he k!ssed me back. His tongue slid into my mouth and wrestled with mine. His hands go to my wa!st but pull me into him.

The door shuts behind me, but I pull back and stare at him.

We were both p-anting for breath. His hand stays on my wa!st.

The shock came over me as I looked at him. His eyes searched mine, trying to figure out what I was thinking.

I try to move away, but Lex’s grip on my wa!st tightens, and he moves me back toward the door. My back hit it as I looked up at him.

I gulp.

“Rox,” he whispered as he leaned into me, closing the gap with his body and resting his body on mine.

I could feel w.etness slip through my folds and onto my pa-nties, drenching me.

A low rumble escapes him, “I can smell your ar0usal,” he says; his l!ps are so close to my neck that send a shiver rocketing through me.

“Please,” I whispered, closing my eyes.

I didn’t know what I was begging for, but I was craving any slightest touch Lex could give me. No thought of going slow entered my head; the mate bond had now taken over me. I needed him; I wanted him like he was my last breath.

“What do you want?” he mutters as he k!sses my neck. A m0an slips past my l!ps as the touch makes me want more; I want to know what he could do to me.

“You,” I whispered.

I opened my eyes as Lex stood still and moved slightly till he came into my view. “What?” he asked, searching my face to see if I had said something in a foreign language that he couldn’t understand.

I looked at him and scraped my bottom l!p with my teeth.

“Rox,” he said. “Do you want me?”

His gaze landed on my face, and he searched for something. I knew what he wanted. He wanted clarification of what I wanted from him.

I nodded.

“Use your words, Rox,” he said, his eyes shifting from his to Blaze and back to his again. They were fighting for control, I could tell.

Bex was purring loudly in my head; her horniness was affecting me as much as my body was giving away what I truly wanted.

“I want you,” I whispered.

Lex stares at me, taking in what I said.

Lex lowers his mouth closer and slams his mouth on mine, and devours me. His tongue is fighting for everything as he slides it in. I moved my arms to his neck, and Lex lifted me. I leaned against the door as he pressed himself against me.

His hand goes to the back of my neck and runs his hand through my hair, but as soon as he gets to the back, he grips it hard, which makes me gasp.

Lex smirks.

“I want to do so much to you,” he says, k!ssing the corner of my mouth.

I could feel the w.etness slip through my folds.
