desire there.”
She stalked off into the trees. The elation replaced the jealousy and Cade moved in her direction. He didn’t care about the pack rules where it came to who he wanted. The pack was his family and he’d die protecting it. Micah had a human female for a mate, he could have Titania and he intended to have her.
* * * *
Rounding a tree, Titania sensed Cade following her. He’d terrified her ever since she’d become a member of the Rock Wood pack. From the moment her father dumped her in town, Titania had never ventured out. The thought of being alone scared her. She liked being surrounded by her pack even when they were mean to her. They ignored her and it was only David and Charlotte who accepted her within their fold. To the other wolves it was like she didn’t exist at all. They never tried to speak to her or get to know her. The rest of the pack simply ignored her. She didn’t mind before Charlotte came along and when David left for his trips around the world, she’d been happy with her own company. There was nothing wrong with being alone. At least she didn’t see a problem with it even though others hated being alone.
She heard him following her. Titania stopped and closed her eyes, trying to calm her nerves. When he shared the memory he held of her, she’d been so scared. There was no way he’d be able to claim her. She sensed his desire to do just that. The connection they shared together gave her a short time to understand his emotions. He wanted to possess and claim her. She couldn’t let him do it.
The pack would line up to fight his claim as second-in-command.
“Don’t walk away from me,” he said.
Opening her eyes, she tried to get as far from him as she could.
Stepping through the trees, Titania tried to make her way home. She wished there was something to cover her nakedness. The underwear she’d been wearing was lost during the change. Covering her nakedness was pointless and Cade would see in the dark.
“Stop!” His command forced her to stop. Turning around, she saw him advancing on her. The glowing amber of his eyes startled her. They were the same amber his wolf possessed.
“I’ve stopped. What are you trying to achieve? There is no hope for what you want. You’d be better claiming Misty—” His growl stopped her from speaking.
Cade advanced. She saw the tattoos covering his body. Her eyes drifted to the woman being fucked on his arm. Returning her gaze to his, she waited for him to stop. He kept walking forward and she had no choice other than to step back. She would have fallen over if she remained standing. His arms gripped both of hers as he pressed her against the tree. The bark bit into her flesh.
She ignored the slight pain. Staring into his eyes she waited for him to speak. He looked frightening. His eyes turned back to dark brown. She may have many faults for her kind but at least she could see in the dark.
“Don’t speak her name to me. I have no desire for her.”
Titania laughed. “And yet you have desire for me? Are you insane?”
“I don’t care what the pack thinks.”
“Yes, you do. You’re second-in-command, Cade. Wanting me is out of the question.” She tried to break his grip.
He held her tightly. Lifting her gaze to his, she growled.
“I want you, Titania. Whether the pack likes it or not, you will be mine.”
Before she got a chance to argue his lips slammed on hers, silencing her. He was her first ever kiss and she froze. Cade did not give up. He held her against the tree pressing his body to hers.
She felt the hard length of his cock pressing against her stomach. Titania only came to his chest in height. She wasn’t able to contain the moan and the sound surrounded the forest and left on a breeze.
One of his hands moved from her arm to sink into the length of her hair and the other cupped her hip. Arousal sprung up inside her, hard and hot. She wanted him at the same time as not.
There was no way she could feel
