12: Jayce

He stood on the other side of her door, listening to her cry. Why must she cry so much? No. It

wasn't her fault. It's never her fault. She wanted to understand what was happening to him, yet he

pushed her away. Fuck, she looked so sexy beneath him. Her moans sounded so delicious, he

wanted to hear it more. His cock pulsed in his boxers, making him bite back a groan. He ached to

enter her. To make love to her like she deserved.

You fucking moron. You fucking yelled at her.

"Lily." He grabbed her door handle. It was locked.

"Go away." She yelled at the door. He sighed, leaning his head against the door.

"Please. I want to explain.”

"You had your chance to explain, but you yelled at me instead. If I wanted to get yelled at, I

would've stayed with Jasper.” She retorted. He growled at the mention of his name.

"Open the door, or I'm pulling it off of its hinges.” He threatened. It was silent, and he thought she

would not oblige when he heard the door click and he opened it. She escaped to the other side of

the room, her scent sending waves through his body. His cock was close to ripping through his

boxers.

"Look, I didn't mean to yell at you."

"That's how it starts." She fired back, "First they don't mean to say or do something, but the

behavior continues anyway."

"Don’t compare me to that monster." He growled at her.

"Then stop acting like one.” She shot back, "You're a fucking asshole.” She screamed. Her hands

balled into fists. "I can feel something between us. Something good. I want it. I need it." She whined.

"You can still have it." He told her.

"You just told me to stay away from you." She said. Indeed, he said that. This isn't going anywhere. If

he doesn't reel her in somehow, he's going to lose her.

"My Wolf wanted to claim you." He finally said. She appeared to settle down somewhat. Good.

"He wanted to mark me. What does that mean?" She demanded.

God, she's fucking hot when she's bossy.

"It's when the Mate bond is completed. The mark means that I bite you. It shows to others that you

are mine. That you belong to me and me alone.” he said to her.

"I don't want to belong to you." She said. A stabbing pain inflicted on his heart at her words, "If

we're going to make this work, you treat me as an equal.” She said, holding her ground. Interesting

woman. She stomped over to him, her golden locks made her look untamed as she stood in front of

him.

"You want this to work?" He asked her. He just wanted to hear her say it.

"It will be difficult at first. I'll have my problems still. My mind is still muddled with everything, but

you've been the best antidote." Her eyes dropped to his boxers, a blush covering her cheeks at the

sight of him. She squared her shoulders, looking back up at him, "Mark me."

"Lily, if 1 do, I can’t guarantee it won't hurt.” He said, but his Wolf was already stepping forward. His

fangs grew longer, his hands turned into claws. Her hand reached out, taking hold of his shaft, and

yanked him toward her. He groaned loudly, his boxers shredding as his cock grew thicker at her

touch.

"Mark. Me." She ordered him. He snarled, picking her up and slammed her down on the bed. His

claws tore away her clothes, his Wolf drinking in her plump breasts and glistening sex. He rubbed

the tip against her sex eagerly, his claws groping her breasts with bestial intensity. Her moans

bounced off the walls. Fuck, he can't hold back anymore.

As he thrust into her, he roared in pleasure. He tried to keep it slow, but she felt perfect around him.

He couldn't control his hips for long. Jayce felt her orgasm, but he couldn't stop now. His claws dug

into her bed, tearing into it as the headboard rammed into the wall from his powerful thrusts. Her

nails clawed where ever she could reach. His shoulders, his chest, his stomach.

"Jayce!" she screamed, cumming again for him. Without pulling away, he turned her over, so she

was on her hands and knees, gripped her hips and pounded into her again. Jayce howled, feeling

himself growing closer to his climax. He grabbed her arms, pulling her up to his chest, his cock

angling differently, hitting her even deeper than before. He looked at her flushed face, her eyes

dilated. As he tried to find the perfect spot on her neck, he grabbed her breasts. Just as he came, he

punctured her neck with his fangs. She let out a beautiful scream, her body shaking as he filled her

with his cum. When he released the last drop, he eased her down onto her bed, where she shook

almost violently.

Damn, she's still Human.

"Lily?" He asked her worriedly as his claws and fangs retracted. He leaned over her from behind, his

cock resting on her ass. Her eyes opened slightly, looking up at him through the forest of hair.

"That was... amazing." She said breathlessly, closing her eyes again. He let out a sigh of relief, laying

down beside her. His fingers touched his mark lightly, and she winced.

"Does it hurt?" He asked her.

"It stings, but it's not so bad. It's warm." She said to him.

"We're Mates now.” He told her and she looked at him. She wobbly sat up, gazing down at him with

a sweet smile.

"Looks like you're stuck with me now." She joked, but fuck was he glad he was. Lily's beautiful,

talented, a splendid cook, passionate. She had a strength even he couldn't match with. His cock

throbbed against her thigh, making her blush. She moved down between his legs, taking his shaft

into both of her hands.

"You still want to keep going?" Jayce asked her.

"It wouldn't be fair if you were like this the whole time.” She said, licking the tip lightly. He groaned,

laying his head back as she swirled her tongue around it. Her lips pecked up and down his cock with

her palm grinding against the tip. Holy Hell, he was getting dizzy. Her lips went back to the tip as

she slowly took him in. She was hesitant at first, unsure she could take him in at all, but she pushed

through and started sucking and licking him. He groaned, relishing the feel of her mouth when her

lips slid down his shaft further. She stopped. He could feel the back of her throat squeezing him.

Just when he expected her to pull back up, her lips continued their path until they barely grazed the

base.

"Lily!" He grunted, his cock throbbing madly in her throat. She held firm, her tongue lathering his

cock. She slowly retreated to the tip, licking it like it was a lollipop. Her tongue did circles until she

wrapped her lips around him again, her head bobbing up and down with such vigor. His hands

grabbed her head as he was reaching the finale, trying to pull her off, but she grabbed his hands

and pinned them down, sucking harder. He howled, his hips bucking against her mouth as he

ejaculated. His eyes rolled back as he rested his head back. He felt her lips remove themselves and

he watched her swallow and lick her lips.

"Damn you woman." He growled, pulling her on top of him. He kissed her, and she returned it with

passion.

"What should we do now?" She asked him as she got dressed. He watched her every move, his eyes

tracing the curve of her breasts and ass as she fit into the black silk panties.

"You know exactly what I'd do right now.” He said bluntly. He watched her face turn a shade of pink,

but she was trying to hide a smile.

"You know what I mean. I can go make some lunch if you'd like?” She turned to him after she puta

bra on. She walked over to her closet, searching for a shirt. His eyes looked over her scarred back.

One deeper and darker than the rest that stretched from her right shoulder blade and arced down

to mid-back. He was so lost in his lust that he hadn't noticed it earlier. He got up from the bed,

standing behind her, and ran his fingers over the scar lightly. She jumped, shivering at his touch.

"What's this one?" He asked her, though he'd be treading on thin ice by asking such a question. She

could retreat behind her walls again and all the success they've managed would have been for

nothing.

"He used a whip." She told him, her back still to him. His fingers stopped and moved up to her

shoulder.

"I shouldn't have asked.” He said to her, but she shook her head, resting her hand over his.

"It's okay. I guess it's easier to talk about it than keeping it all inside.” She turned to look up at him,

still holding his hand. "I hope you realize what you've gotten yourself into.” She warned him. He

smirked down at her, brushing his fingers through her hair, gripping it gently. She let out a soft

moan that made his cock harden in response.

"Likewise." He growled down at her before delivering kisses over her lips and cheeks. She let out a

giggle.

"Okay. I want to eat first." She playfully shoved him away before getting dressed completely. Her

eyes went to her bed. "I'll have to go to a furniture store in town and get a new bed now." She said

to him. He glanced over at the shredded bedding and mattress, the headboard broken. What else

could you expect from the Werewolf King?

"I'll handle the costs. For now," he took her hand and kissed it, "your new living arrangement is with

me." He watched her cheeks flush at his words.

"You don't have to do that. I appreciated it last night, but it doesn't have to be an everyday thing.”

She told him. He wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her against him.

"We're Mates now, remember? You'll be sleeping in the same bed as me from here on out.” He told

her. Her cheeks deepened in red. A buzz sounded from her dresser.

"Oh, that could be Erica.” She said, dipping out of his embrace and rushed over to her phone. He

watched her brows knit together as she scanned through her messages. "Shit, I didn't tell her I left

New York."

"Who is Erica? A friend of yours?" He asked her.

"She's been my friend since middle school, and she's also my manager.” Lily laughed awkwardly.

She tapped her phone against her chin thoughtfully.

"Call her and let her know where you are." He told her. She looked over at him.

"Is that okay? I don't want to intrude on your community anymore than I already have.” She said to

him. He inclined his head at her as he made his way over. He took a lock of her hair and twirled it

around his finger.

"If she's important to you, I want you to be happy.” He told her. She beamed up at him, leaning up

on her toes and kissed him sweetly on the lips. He felt his knees wanting to collapse from under

him.

"Thank you so much! Go on ahead, I'll start lunch when I'm done.” She told him. He kissed her

again, savoring her taste, before heading off to get ready.

The sky was still dark outside once he stepped into his office after getting dressed. He pulled on his

usual wear of black slacks and a dark blue button up. He rolled up his sleeves so his tattoos were

visible. Everything was changing so quickly, but it would be for the better. He found his Mate just in

time so the Council can keep off his back finally. Now his only headache was wrapping up this

festival that was just around the corner. Already people were putting up their posters in their

restaurants, schools and shops. Their community social network site was promoting it left and right,

extending its hands past the walls to other packs. He just needed to complete the last of the details

and he'll be headache free. Almost headache free. He checked his phone, seeing two more missed

calls from Chelsea, and no update from Damion. Jayce had only set out on the road yesterday. He

might receive nothing for another day or so. He had his two best soldiers with him, so he wasn't

worried about their safety all too much. Jasper was out there, and he was getting dangerously close

to Lily until his Wolf intercepted him. He probably knows now that she isn't alone. And she won't be

alone ever again.

He let out a disgruntled sigh as he unblocked the number and dialed it.

"Alpha Jayce, what a pleasant surprise.” Chelsea said sweetly. His Wolf growled within him in

disinterest.

"Chelsea, I'm calling to make things clear to you."

"Before you do, can we talk face to face at least?" She asked him innocently.

"Fine. I can meet you at..." but she interrupted him.

"I'll be right over!” She hung up. He tossed his phone onto his desk. He felt uneasy with her showing

up there, but he wanted her gone, so Lily had nothing to worry about anymore.
