Page 10 of His Human Mate
He couldn’t deny his desire to find that himself with his mate after that. Knowing the darker needs that came to mind every time he stroked his cock wasn’t foreign, wasn’t repulsive. Perhaps it came from being the second son of the alpha regent. The only ones that could stop him were his father and Heath through it.
Yes, Katya could put him on his ass in a sparring match, and he was certain if it came down to a life or death situation, she’d come out the winner, but that was different from the alpha dominance.
The women he’d met over the years had done nothing for him, mostly because they weren’t his mate and he was determined to wait for her, just for her. The few women that didn’t take his offhand no for an answer, cowered anytime he pushed the dominance forward, and for some reason, it had pissed him off—long before he’d heard from some of their alphas with human mates of how lucky they were to have them.
An alpha could force his mate to heed through the dominance, even if they were a shifter, better if they were an asshole shifter. He’d wanted someone that would be an equal in all ways, would never cower to him simply because he could make them. What he learnt from the alphas about their human mates, had him praying to the stars to find that. Now, finding Shelby, seeing that she was right there with him, turned on by his words, his demands, even if she didn’t want to be—nothing was going to keep him from making her his in every way.
“Getting the picture of how our life’s going to be now, little mate?” he asked, kneeling down to open her bag. It wasn’t the one that the scum had taken from her. No, that one had stank so bad he could tell it simply held more items of clothing to mask her scent. This one held her scent entirely, making his mouth water wanting it in his mouth—soon.
He pulled out extra clothes from it, enjoying the plain white panties as he held them up for her to step into. As soon as they covered her pussy, he pressed his face to it, drinking in her scent. He pulled back before his wolf could take over, smiling when a little wet patch appeared between her legs as he helped her into a pair of tight black yoga type pants. He followed them with socks, before standing, sliding her bra on, covering her gorgeous breasts not wanting anyone else watching them bounce or shake.
“Well?” he teased as he pulled her hair from the back of her shirt—his shirt that was too big for her, but he wanted her in his clothes, his scent on her more now, and her tank top kept the rest of her covered if anyone got a glimpse of her from above. Which would be most of the men considering how little she was. Over a foot shorter than him, but he enjoyed it, enjoyed the way her head barely reached the middle of his shoulder. It meant he could shield her with his body entirely if needed.
“A girl could get used to this, especially if it’s in addition to those orgasms,” she said, smiling back at him and it was the most gorgeous sight ever—well, beyond her naked and coming for him, on his cock at least.
“You’ll be getting all of it when we’re home, little mate. I’m sure by the time we get there, Katya will already be there, so you can meet her, see she truly is my baby sister, meet my parents, my brothers—Heath’s the oldest so if you’re worried about others saying stupid shit about you being human don’t. He’ll take over for our father one day so he has the most responsibilities, has to deal with the protocol shit the most. We’ll get to do mostly whatever the hell we want. Same with Jacob, he’s younger than I am, but older than our sisters. His mate helped us take down the snatchers. She was taken when she was eighteen and they stole her daughter from her, leading her to us, Jaccob to her daughter, and then them together,” he told her while he tied her shoes making her giggle as he did it.
“She tried to push him away thinking he wouldn’t want someone like her as his mate, so the two of you should get along well,” he added putting a soft blush in her cheeks. “He was about to let her go thinking he’d fucked up not getting the snatcher shut down before they grabbed her, but Katya set him straight before he ruined his life, and Lena’s. They’re expecting a baby now. That trash outside was one of the snatchers. He showed up in front of her two months ago while she was out with Hope and Louis, her son—he’s four. Scared her enough that Jacob almost got himself knocked out when he felt it. Lena was out with our mom though and Thatcher and Alan, were with them. They’re two of mom’s guards when she’s out. You’ll have to have some too, just so you know.”
“Are you trying to convince me being your mate is worth it or scare me off here, mister?” Shelby asked, lifting a brow at him that had his cock rock hard again.
“Like I said, you can try to run, but your little ass won’t get far before I’m on it.”
“You said Jacob was older than your sisters. There’s more than just Katya?” she said watching him closely.
“Katya’s the baby. She’s all of ours favorite—well the twins would say they’re each other’s favorites but we don’t count that. They’re like two parts of a whole in every way. Arya and Maya are about four years older than Katya is, they’re mated to twin brothers that are alphas over packs that are right next to one another, and now have three boys a piece, born within hours of each other.”
“Seriously?”
“Seriously,” he said, smiling at the shock on her face. “The weirder part is the boys all look alike. I don’t mean they just look like their parents because duh, normal right?”
Fuck he loved the little laughs and grins that lit her green eyes. He’d do anything to ensure they always lit up for him. “I mean that both Arya and Maya’s oldest, Forrest and Hoyt, both look alike. They’re miniatures of their fathers completely. Their middle ones, Banks and Kip, both look like their moms more—or as they say look more like our side of family. The babies Wilder and Roan though, they’re practically identical with both having their dad’s jaws and mouths, but our side’s eyes and noses with the twins’ fairer hair.”
“And Katya’s pregnant? Is it her first?” Shelby asked as he pulled her into his arms, calmer when she said her name than before thank the stars.
“No, it’s technically her third and fourth. She was the first of our family to find her mate. Actually he found her when she was four, saved her life after someone left her for dead in the woods near his pack. Katya was stolen from us when she was six months old, we didn’t find her back until she was nineteen. She left her pack and her mate because she didn’t have the mate pull with him when she turned eighteen despite them doing more things that we did in here together,” he added making her eyes widen in shock. “Yeah, we nearly killed Brian when we went out to their place to help stop the rogues working their way up to reach us. The person in charge of them had taken Katya when she was a baby. Learning she was back with us, had her upping her attacks. Brian’s pack was in danger and Katya was freaked out at the thought of losing him. Neither she nor our mom told any of us that the girls in our family can only mate with an alpha. Hence the reason Katya could easily be with Brian despite not having the mate pull.
“He wanted to claim her the night Katya left and she swore she couldn’t do it, couldn’t be his, so she left. Finding us back, which led her back to him, and being able to become his mate when his father stepped down. When we learnt that Brian was the only reason she survived when she was little, we couldn’t exactly hate him any longer, not even knowing they were having…together,” he amended unable to say his little sister was having sex still.
“Oh, so you’re a hypocrite hmm?” Shelby teased him, and he lifted her up, so her face was even with his. “You’re not my mate and you just took my virginity, didn’t you?”
“I’m your mate, I simply haven’t claimed you yet,” he growled at her.
“Well, Brian was her mate, he just hadn’t claimed her yet, mister.”
He let out a groan, loving and hating it at the same time. Mostly loving it though he had to admit. “I’ve waited eighteen fucking years for you, little mate. You better stop sassing my ass.”
“Eighteen years?” Shelby asked, her jaw dropped. “Wait…you’re telling me I let an old man cover me in cum?”
“Shelby!” he warned, nipping at her neck as she laughed, softly.
“What? It’s true. I mean, I was what, four, when you were old enough to find a mate?” she teased him. “It’s a good thing you’re a shifter, I mean, if you weren’t I’d only have a few years before you’re likely too old to have decent sex with.”
“You’re getting it as soon as I get you home, baby.”
“That’ll have to be after you take me home so my parents know you’re not an actual monster,” she said making his eyes narrow on her. “Trust me, if you don’t take me back to my pack for me to tell them I’m good with this, they will come storming your gates to get me. Especially if Ashton tells them that you fucked me in here where they could all hear it. Mama Emily might not have given birth to me, but she’s my mom in every other way.”
“You watch that little mouth, baby. It better be sweet words out of it unless I’m fucking you dirty.” Landon smirked seeing her eyes flash deeper, hunger filling her. “You have one day there. No more. Then I’m getting your sexy little ass on a plane and bringing you home with me so I can teach your pussy exactly who owns it.”
