Just before he could sink his canines into my neck, just before he lost complete control, just before he finally forged the mate bond, someone knocked at the door. Then Dad’s voice broke through the tense silence.

“Caelan, you still up? We need to talk.”

CHAPTER 2

LIVIA

Shit!What is he doing here at this hour?!

I shoved Caelan’s chest, but he didn’t move. Instead, he pushed himself farther inside me, clutching my waist as hard as he could to drive his cock deeper. I opened and closed my mouth a handful of times, pleading with my eyes.

Truth was, we really both did have a lot to lose if anyone found out about us. I was already looked down upon by this pack because I hadn’t shifted into my wolf yet, when most wolves could at thirteen. I didn’t need another target on my back.

She-wolves were fucking ruthless.

“One moment, Marcus,” Caelan called, pumping into me harder and faster.

My eyes widened, and I slapped a hand over my mouth, my eyes rolling back into my head. Pressure rose higher and higher inside me, and I curled my toes, my hands both pushing and pulling him.

Holy fuck, if he didn’t slow down, then I was going to… I was going to…

“Come for me, little mate.”

Pleasure exploded through my body, and I stifled a moan before it could fully leave my mouth. My legs trembleduncontrollably, my body buzzing with ecstasy. Wave after wave rushed through me, my pussy clenching over and over on him.

“You have to hide,” Caelan said, voice raspy, dumping his cum deep in my cunt.

“He’s going to smell me here,” I whispered.

“My scent is dripping out of you. He won’t smell you.”

When he finally pulled out of me, I dropped onto my knees and crawled underneath his desk, hoping that I was hidden enough so Dad wouldn’t see me. My heart pounded inside my chest, and I tried to breathe as quietly as possible, but my body was still buzzing from his touch.

“Come in, Marcus!”

Ecstasy pumped through my body, my nipples taut. Caelan rubbed the back of his neck and took a seat at his desk, his legs spread with me between them. I gently grabbed on to his knees, my pussy still throbbing.

I couldn’t see Dad, but I could hear his footsteps enter the room. He had no idea what was going on between me and Caelan, and he would never know. Not unless Caelan finally decided to mark me one day.

But I wasn’t holding my breath.

“Can this wait until we return?” Caelan asked Dad. “I’m preparing for tomorrow.”

“Some of the elders would like to have a word before we depart.”

Desperately, I tried to even my breathing. I couldn’t let Dad hear me. It was bad enough that my scent was in the room. If he heard me here too? It’d be over. I’d be screwed. Nobody could ever know what was going on between me and Caelan.

I was supposed to hate him, and he was supposed to hate me.

But the room was seeming smaller, the air drier, more suffocating.

And Dad? Dad was too close. I could see him from underneath the desk, and if I could see him, then he could see me. My heart raced inside my chest, so loudly that I could hear it in my ears.

“Of course,” Caelan said, his voice remarkably even and calm, but I could hear the strain in it. “Send them in.”

Dad lingered for another second, and I could see the confusion on his face through the small hole underneath the desk. He had noticed something was off, that something wasn’t right, but he wasn’t one to call Caelan out on it.

No, calling Caelan out on it? That could be a death sentence. Even to him, the beta.
