want by my side.” He kissed her lips, stroking a hand down her back and squeezing her butt.
    “I don’t know how you can want me after what I’ve done.”
    Cupping her cheek, he stared into her green eyes. “You’ve done nothing. How can I have a problem with the woman who only wants to protect me?”
    She caressed his lips with the tips of her fingers. “I feel like I’ve entered some kind of dream world. This doesn’t feel real at all.”
    “We’re wolves, Tori. We’re not really living in the real world and haven’t been for a long time.” He kissed her again. “Come on, let’s shower.”
    He picked her up, carrying her through to the bathroom. Turning on the water, he laughed at her squeal as the cold water rushed out of the tap.
    “You did that on purpose.”
    “Of course I did.” Scorch grabbed the soap and started to massage it into her flesh. Her squealing stopped, turning into a guttural moan. His cock thickened at feeling her plump flesh beneath his hands. She was so fucking beautiful she took his breath away.
    Rubbing his hands up and down her body, between her thighs, he felt the excitement start to build once again. His scent covered her pussy. Scorch wanted his scent in her mouth, pussy, and ass. He was possessed with the need to own every square inch of her body.
    “This is insane. You’re ready to go again?”
    Scorch slipped a finger through her folds feeling her arousal coating his digits. “Fuck, you’re ready for me, baby. Don’t deny it. I know what you want.” He groaned sinking two fingers into her sweet tight cunt.
    His control slipped. Pressing her against the glass of the shower door, he tugged on her hips and slid his rock hard cock deep inside.
    She cried out, and he covered her mouth with his hand. “Be quiet,” he said.
    The wolf stood to attention.
    Mark her.
    Claim her.
    Make her ours.
    Ignoring the need, he pounded inside her body. He fingered her clit at the same time as he fucked her. The wolf wanted out, but Scorch wouldn’t let him. They were not one, and he wasn’t hurting Victoria.
    “I’m coming,” she said, gasping.
    Slamming inside her, Scorch pushed her over the edge at the same time as finding his own release, spilling his cum into her waiting depths.
    The only sound to be heard over the rushing water of the shower was the sound of their breathing.
    “I can’t think,” she said.
    “Good, we’re mates, Tori. There is no going back. I don’t look at you and think about what you said. I know you couldn’t lure me to my death. We’re nothing to do with that. This is something new, something powerful. Don’t you feel it?” he asked.
    “Yes, I feel it, but I’m not used to feeling this way at all.”
    Turning her head, he dropped a kiss to her lips. He was a lot taller than she was.
    “You’ll never feel this way again with anyone else. I can promise you that. You’re my mate, and I’ll do everything in my power to protect you.”
    For both of their sakes, he hoped he spoke the truth.

Chapter Eight
     
    Scorch had been away for three days, and for three days Victoria couldn’t stop thinking about him. He’d taken her virginity in the most amazing way. After the shower sex he’d spent the whole night making love to her. When it came to morning he wasn’t to be seen. He had left her to go meet with the other alphas. Knowing where he was going and why, the worry set in completely. She hoped Chain didn’t have a clue what he was doing.
    “You’ve done nothing but sit here, biting your nails. It’s a disgusting habit,” Mandy said, handing over a cup of steaming coffee. The morning after Scorch filled her with his seed, the pack looked at her differently.
    His scent surrounded her, protecting her from their malice. Mandy assured her none of the pack felt that way toward her. She didn’t completely believe her. The Clan would have punished her, not embraced her as one of their members.
    “I know. I’m sorry.”
    “You keep it up and
