Warning: LONG CHAPTER AHEAD!

😁😉

Reaching out to feel the cold spot where my mate should be shocked me that I woke up with a start. I frantically looked around the room, trying to spot his figure. "Lionel," I called out loudly. My world was on edge because it was almost the full moon, which meant that I will be mating with Lionel. I was scared that I would hurt him because he was only human and couldn't really handle my rut.

"I'm in the kitchen!" I heard him call out after awhile.

I sighed then shook my head before going to the bathroom to take a shower and to get ready for the day. I had work today since there seems to be a rogue pack to keeps on trying to conquer more territories. They also seemed to linked with other illegal events that go to this city. I quickly walked downstairs when I was done to have breakfast with my mate. This was the luxury I would never give up because this was my everything. Having breakfast with him, sleeping next to him, and having dinner with and sometimes going on dates made me super happy.

I sat down on the chair, still in my boxers as I dried my hair. "Thank you," I smiled when he put down a plate of bacon, eggs and French toast in form of me.

"You're welcome." He smiled. Before going back to get the Apple juice and pouring us each a glass.

"This is delicious, if you make me breakfast and lunch like this, I'll become chubby in no time." I joked.

"Yeah, yeah," he rolled his eyes with smiling. "Even if you did become chubby I would still love you."

Yes, you heard that right, he loves me. Of course, I love him too. The first time he said it to me was three weeks ago and it was an accident because I was teasing him and wouldn't stop. Which made him very frustrated and yell that he loved me. I stopped myself and stared at him in shock because I didn't expect him to say anything like this anytime soon.

Lionel said he wanted to take our relationship slow but when we were both on the same page, I couldn't stop myself. Of course, I haven't done him yet, because we weren't quite ready and I wanted it to be special. Lionel already knew about my rut coming soon and I told him to stay with his friends but he refused and insisted that he stayed. I told him that I would most likely have sex with him if he stayed which made him blush and nod.

That was the end of the conversation for us. The full moon was in four days and I was anxious, wanting him to stay with me all the time and snarling and glaring at anyone who came too close to him. I almost snapped Gina and Luke's neck. It wasn't for Lionel stopping me, I think I would've done it. I was edge all the time and everyone made sure not get on my nerves because I wouldn't be able to stop myself. It was everyone except a friend of my mother, Roseanne.

We were dining with my parents and it was going great. That was until this woman, probably the same age as my mother came in with a fake smile and someone disgusting smelling food. Her daughter was behind her, she was about my age and she was stunning with brown hair and brown eyes. Her skin was the color of mocha and she had a beautiful smile. Her mother, on the other hand, smelled of jealousy and was a bit haggard. I didn't think she would do something, but boy was I wrong.

~••••~

Everyone was seated and we were all getting our food as much as we liked. I was seated in between Lionel and the daughter, whose name was Maya. Lionel was happy that he finally got to meet my parents and was a part of the family but he seemed a bit nervous and gingerly. I knew why, he didn't want to upset them in any way, which made me love him even more.

My mother was saying something about me and my siblings as a child, making Lionel and everyone laugh, except the Roseanne. She glared at my mate and then turned to me. "How have you been doing?" It was a simple question but I felt like there were something behind it.

"I'm doing well, thank you for asking." I smiled at her as I took a bite of the roasted duck. I chewed and waited a bit and she smiled and turned to her daughter and then me.

"Maya here was wondering if you could teach her someone of the detective stuff you do. She wanted to go into the field and it would be helpful if she learned from someone who knows that field well." She smiled at me.

"Yeah, sure." I smiled back. I was glad that someone was interested in my work and it would be nice to help some people who need it. "She can come by the office and I can ask someone to train her."

"No, no, no." Roseanne shook her head and Maya looked at her, worried. "I want you to teach her. We wolves should stick together. I don't want a human to get close to her."

I looked at her surprised as did her daughter and the rest of the people in the room. Lionel looked down in shame and I grabbed his hand under the table and squeezed it. "Well then, you'd be very disappointed to know that it's those humans that my company is still flourishing. Also, I would watch my tone around people because I am not nice when someone makes my human mate feel like shit." I glared at her which set her up for a while and dinner continued.

Lionel squeezed my hand making me turn to him. He smiled at me then turned to my parents to talk about something. It made my heart swell with pride that I made him happy with just words as I put an arrogant bitch in her place.

~••••~

It was time for everyone to leave. Lionel was putting on his coat as Maya cane up to us. She smiled shyly at us and said, "I am so sorry for my mother's behavior. Normally she isn't like this, I don't know what had gotten into her." I just waved my hand with a smile that she had nothing to apologize for.

"It's okay, I can understand not accepting them because some humans are selfish at times and they like to work alone, not as a team." Lionel nodded as he zipped his jacket and looked at me with a smile. "I had a hard time believing that Werewolves existed too. And that they wouldn't harm me."

I looked at Lionel with love and adoration because I knew what kind of person he was and how proud and lucky I was to call him my mate. "We should get going, have a good night." I smiled at Maya just as her mother walked into the room.

"Oh, are you dropping Maya off?" She looked at us with a wide smile. "You're such a gentleman."

"No, I was going home with my mate," I emphasized mate to make her understand.

"Oh no matter, I am sure your parents won't mind dropping the human off. You should take Maya with you." She insisted and came closer. "Isn't that right?" She turned towards Lionel as he hid behind me.

This little old woman was scary and since she was also a werewolf she had more power over him than other old humans. "I-I want to go home with Zechariah," Lionel said with a slight stutter.

Roseanne walked closer and tried to grab Lionel's arm but I was way faster than her and quickly grabbed her hand. "Don't even think about it," I said through my clenched teeth.

"But Maya is way better then he is!" Roseanne yelled.

I slightly pushed her away to have some space between us. "I don't care if she is better, I don't want her and she clearly doesn't want me. Stop trying to force your stupid beliefs on to others. Humans and Werewolves have co-existed for a long time and just because of one human a long time ago, won't change the fact that some wolves have human mates and it's okay to trust them." I ranted as glared at her with murderous eyes. "If you dare touch him again, I will have your blood on my hands." With that I turned away, grabbing Lionel's hand as I dragged him outside towards our car.

One we were both seated in the car, I sighed and turned towards him. Lionel looked at me and smiled. "That was really hot." He blushed as he said and leaned over to kiss me. I laughed a bit and kissed him back.

"It's not funny. These things keep on happening and I'm trying to stop them." I sighed as I pulled him as close as I can to smell his alluring scent.

"Zechariah, I know these things will take time and I have time." He whispered against my neck. I nodded as I squeezed his shoulder.

"This is why I love you." I smiled as I put on my seat belt and started the car.

Lionel was quiet as I drove us home and when I turned towards him, I smiled when I saw light blush coating his cheek.

When we got home I got out of the car and we walked hand in hand into our home. Yeah, I was really happy with my life.

~••••~

It felt hot.

Everything was hot. I felt something crawling inside me and I knew it was Maddox. He wanted out, so he could run over to our mage and ravish him. No! We will hurt him. I linked to him but Maddox was far gone to listen to me. "Fuck," I whispered when his scent hit me.

This morning had started out as a normal day. I woke and made breakfast before training the children and some new warriors. Luke was in changes of the warriors and he was training them along with Kain. Once I was done, I came home to find my mate sprawled on the sofa with his phone as he played some games. "Good morning." I walked over to him and kissed his lips as he sat up.

"Morning, and eww. Go take a shower. You smell like crap." He pointed towards one of the bathrooms and I rolled my eyes but still walked over to the bathroom.

I quickly washed my body and hair with body wash and shampoo. Once I was done, I put on some lotion before walking out of the bathroom with a towel. "How was your day?" Lionel as he walked over to me.

He was wearing a white shirt and some cargo shorts which made his pale legs stick out, and fuck they were sexy. "It was good, like the usual." I shrugged as I walked to our room to grab some clothes. "I have to go in for a meeting later today," I informed him.

"Okay, I don't have work today so I'll just make dinner." Lionel nodded to himself as he walked back to the living room.

I opened the closet and started browsing through the clothes that I would wear to the meeting before putting on some sweats and a t-shirt. I was about to grab a hanger with my shirt on it when I felt something hot, burn in my chest. "What the!" I shouted as I felt my legs go wobbly.

Our rut has come. We should mate with him now. Maddox answered my unspoken question.

"No, not yet," I mumbled as I made my way to our bed.

I laid down on my back and tried to take deep breaths to calm down. It was working until I rolled over Lionel's unique scent hit me. I felt myself panting and trying to stay in control. "Zeck! Are you done? Breakfast is ready and I'm hungry." I heard Lionel call out to me and I wanted to crawl over and take him right there. I couldn't answer, my throat was dry like I was dehydrated. "Zeck," Lionel called again and this time his voice was closer.

"D-don't come in!" I shouted as I tried to think of something else.

"What's wrong?" He asked. I knew he was right in front of the door. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yes. I need you t-to go to Luke and stay with h-him for a while." I stuttered out.

"I'm not going anywhere." He was worried. "Tell me what's going on. I'm scared, Zeck."

"My heat came earlier than I t-thought it would," I answered. "Fuck!" I squeezed my eyes shut when I felt my underwear wet. "I don't want to h-hurt you. Please, li-listen to me."

Lionel was quiet. So quiet that if I were a human, I would've thought that he was already gone. "No, I'm staying." He answered after a while and twisted the doorknob. Lionel stood there, eyes wide when he saw what state I was in. I panted louder when his scent hit my nose. I looked up at him with uncertainty because I knew he was scared, as was I. Slowly, he walked over to me and sat down by my feet. "I love you, too."

Fuck. I felt something snap when I grabbed his arm and pulled him to my chest. I tilted his chin up and kissed his addicting lips. I licked his lips, and Lionel instantly opened them making my plunge my tongue down his throat. I need to take this slow. I reminded myself as I took a deep breath and started sucking his tongue as my hands started to map out his body. Lionel's little moans were encouraging me to keep going.

I was surprised when Lionel pushed me down and sat on my lap with both of his legs on either side. When I looked up, my mate was taking off his shirt in a hurry like I was going to disappear if he was one second late. "Damn, help me." He begged when he couldn't pull his shirt off. I chuckled and sat up and slowly took it off. When he was half-naked, he looked at me with a shy smile. "Take you're off too." I nodded and did as he said. When both of our shirts were discarded we looked at each other.

Lionel's pupils were blown as he looked at me up and down. When he noticed that I was staring at him, blush seemed to creep up from his neck to his cheeks. I slowly grabbed his waist and pulled his closer to me. "Are you sure about this?" I asked. Lionel looked at me and then bit his lips, I looked down at his action and swallowed. Shit, I don't think I can stop if he says no. I thought and waited for his answer.

"I am sure." He sighed with a smile. "I want you. I want your everything and I'll give you everything."

I smiled as I kissed his soft lips. "You are my everything," I said against his lips. Lionel nodded as I kissed his dirtier. I grabbed his shorts and tugged on them, signaling that it's time for them to come off and Lionel got up and quickly took them off. I took off my pants next and when we were both naked as the day we were born, we blushed as I pulled him close and laid him down on the bed. "Where is the lube?"

"You knew?" Lionel looked at me shocked.

"Of course I knew. Who do you think I am?" I chuckled and leaned back a little. "Tell me where it is."

"Bottom drawer, beside my head," Lionel answered and I quickly went over to his side and grabbed it. I took out the bottle along with some condoms because I didn't want him to get pregnant right away. I looked back at him to see him cover his face with a pillow.

"Don't hide your face. Let me see you." I gingerly grabbed his hand and the pillow and pulled it away. His face was very red and he looked away.

"It's embarrassing." He mumbled and I nodded in agreement. It was embarrassing because this was the second I got to see him fully naked. The first time was accidental because I waked in the bathroom while he was taking a shower. "Be gentle, okay?"

"Of course I will," I whispered to him and slowly kissed his lips. Even though I wanted to ravish him and break his hips, I had to control myself because this was our first time and I don't his he could handle me. My hands explored every curve and dip in his body as I sucked on his lips and every bit of skin I could kiss.

"Oh god!" Lionel shouted as my hands wrapped around his hard shaft and started moving it up and down. I smiled as I kissed down his chest and towards his dusty nipples. "Oh~"

His moans kept encouraging me and I did what I thought was right. "Pass me some pillows," I whispered in his ear as I kissed behind it.

Lionel shakily reached out and grabbed some pillows and handed it to me. I quickly put them under his waist and leaned back as I looked at my work. He laid there, with his hair sticking to his skin and every bit of his skin blushing. My smile got wider as I saw some hickies forming on his skin. "What?" He asked breaking me out of my trance.

"Nothing, just admiring." I smiled and he rolled his eyes.

"Stop and get to it." He demanded and I complied. I popped open the lube bottle and took a hefty about of it into my palm before looking down and circling the rim. "Oh!"

"Relax, okay?" I asked for his permission and when he nodded, I slowly pushed my finger in. It was tight and hot and fuck I wanted nothing more than to shove my cock in.

I slowly started moving my hand and kissing his lips while my other hand pumped his cock. After a while, I added another finger and kept on scissoring him until it was soft and relaxed. All while Lionel kept on groaning and moaning which wasn't making it easier for me. "Fuck!" He yelled when I hit a nerve and I knew that was his prostate. When I added more fingers, I kept hitting that spot to make him cum and when his ass tightened I knew he was close. "Imma cum! St-stop! Oh god imma cum! Zechariah!" He yelled as he came in my hands but I didn't stop moving my fingering.

I grabbed the lube bottle and got more lube as I coated him until he was dripping with lube, then I put a condom on and over it with lube too. "I'll get slow," I spoke and I guided my cock towards his entrance. Lionel has calm down by then and was waiting for me to continue.

"Kiss me," he said and pulled me down as he moved his lips against mine.

I slowly pushed in and when Lionel groaned and went stiff, I stopped and looked at him. "Relax, babe," I whispered and claimed his lips again. When I felt him relax I slowly moved again, going in deeper. "You good?" I asked when I saw a single tear roll down the side of his face.

"It hurts a bit and you're big," Lionel whispered. "Don't move yet."

"I won't." I squeezed my eyes shut trying to control Maddox. I put my head next to Lionel and waited for him to say when. I was barely in control and his warmth and tightness around my cock wasn't helping. You can't move yet, you can't move yet. I kept it repeating in my head like a mantra.

A whole five minutes passed before I felt Lionel shift around me, which made him moan. "Move." He whispered and that was my signal to start moving and lose all control.

~••••~

We were both panting by the time I was done with him. "Of god," Lionel whispered as he took a deep breath. "You're like an animal." He chuckled breathlessly.

I smiled and pulled him into my arms. I kissed him where I had marked him and smiled. "I am an animal, babe." This made him laugh as I got up and walked to the bathroom to grab a wet towel to clean both of us.

When I was done, I laid down next to him and pulled him to spoon him. After a while of laying down, Lionel turned around in my arms and looked at me. "You did me five times." He glared at me but I could tell that he was happy. I felt happier too not that we were connected, both mind and soul.

"I did you three-time, Maddox did you two times," I answered and he nodded as he tucked his head in my shoulder and closed his eyes.

"I'm hungry. Feed me." He whines making me laugh as I got up and went to the kitchen to grab our breakfast and heated it up. It was almost three in the afternoon, and I knew I had to call in to tell him I wasn't going to make it to the meeting, even though it had ended. I am sure they would understand.

I picked up my phone and dialed my office number. Someone picked it up and there was yelling and shouting in the background. "Hello? What's going on?" I asked as I walked around the house.

"Alpha, they attacked!" A woman yelled as I heard a loud scream.
