The trauma…How much had she gone through?I frowned. Her arms had scars and runes... now, thinking back, so did her legs. I walked to the nearest wall and dropped to the ground, staring at the sky.

Well, Uncle Al’s wish came true in a way. My mate wasn’t giving me hell, but she sure hated me. Not to mention she had been through hell…

I just sat there, the pain of just imagining what she had been through consuming my mind. How could she trust anyone when all her life she’s been abused?

I wouldn’t hurt her. I’d be her knight in glossy fur whenever she needed me. I’d make her realise that I wanted to heal her, not destroy her, if she gave me a chance. I would make everyone who had ever hurt her pay, and that included those who were living their lives as if they had never done wrong.

I woke upto something soft moving against my foot. I opened my eyes to see a rat nibbling at my boot. Fuck!

I kicked it off and got up. The sun wasn’t fully up yet; I had fallen asleep without realising. I made my way back to her apartment; her scent wafting outside told me she was safe inside.

It was best I got back to the penthouse and showered. Then, I’d follow my little kitten around.

I had just showered and gotten dressed. With every passing minute, I was comparing the state she lived in to what I had. Sure, her place was clean, but it was tiny. I didn’t miss the fact that she had only one mug. I had been tempted to tell her I’d take the cup, but that had been her mug, one she had put her lips to.

I was pulling on my shirt when the door burst open. I exhaled and turned, glaring at the almost naked Chris. His blond hair was a mess, his green eyes were wide, and I could see the marks on his neck, which meant he had been at it not long ago. The man was a chick magnet, and he used that for all it was worth. The smell ofsex was strong on him, and I wrinkled my nose.

“You stink, dude.”

“Ray, help me, man. Get the hoes out. They ain’t stopping, and I’m bored,” he said, trying to grab my arm. I stepped away.

“Don’t touch me,” I warned. “You brought them here, so you get rid of them, now.”

I had no idea when he got home, but it was clear he had enough fun. It took a lot to tire him out. The guy was one of my closest friends, but he was, as Lola would say, a slut.

“Your trash, you take it out,” I replied with a frown.

“For your brother from another mother, man? They are wild,” he groaned.

“Did you give them something?” I asked, narrowing my eyes. He looked guilty. Typical Chris… “I swear... you owe me,” I muttered, pushing past him.

“Thanks, man!” He was about to sling an arm around me.

“Don’t touch me, I don’t want any of that on me,” I growled.

I walked down the hall to his room, pushing open the door with my foot and stopping in my tracks. I had not been expecting the sight before me. There weren’t two women, or three. The large bed had six naked she-wolves on it, all pretty hot and clearly horny as hell.

“You brought a friend to join us, handsome?” one of them asked, licking her lips. Maybe yesterday, a hint of temptation would have flitted through my mind, but after meeting Delsanra, nothing before me was appealing.

“Get out. Now!” I thundered.

That did the job. My Alpha aura rolled off me as they all scurried to grab whatever was left of their clothing. I turned and walked off, giving Chris a look. Seriously, did I need to deal with his harem in the morning?

“Whoa, whoa, where are you going?”

“Out.”

“Yeah, I know. Where?”

I paused.Do I tell him?She was a witch... no one was going to accept that easily. It was something I didn’t even consider until yesterday, but I wasn’t ashamed of her. She would be their Luna no matter what.

“I found my mate.”

Blatant Dislike

Iwas seriously beginning to wonder if I was speaking a different language or something. I had just explained to the three of them how I met her. Yeah, Chris went and got the girls too, so there we were sitting as I impatiently kept glancing at the time. I needed to go to her.
