Galen's Lovely Mate (Saber Chronicles Book Four) Read Online Free

about?” Galen
asked.
    “I live here. If I hadn’t been away when you
showed up, we would have met earlier. I feel like I wasted a
week.”
    “Why were you gone?”
    She frowned. “My sister, Alanah, is being
forced to mate with a fairy chosen by our king. I rejected him a
year ago, and now she’s in the same boat.”
    “Why can’t she just say no?”
    “Because saying no means expulsion from the
commune where our family lives with other fairies. I never get to
see my family because I was exiled. If she doesn’t marry the male,
then my parents will also be exiled and my dad really, really loves
being on the fae council.”
    “If you can’t talk to your family, how do you
know what’s going on with her?” Gretchen asked.
    “My sister’s powers are with woodland
creatures. She can communicate with them, and she and my mom send
notes to me with them. A week ago, a mouse delivered the news. I
was distraught, so I went for a fly. I was toying with the idea of
going back to the commune and begging for forgiveness from my king
and taking her place.”
    Galen’s cat howled in rage, and his fangs
punched from his gums. “No.”
    She snorted and rolled her eyes. “Obviously
things have changed, Galen. Don’t get your panties in a bunch.”
    Slade and Gretchen both chuckled, and Galen
snarled. He gripped the waistband of her jeans and tugged her
closer. “You’re mine. You’re not begging anyone for anything.”
    She sank her fingers into his hair and
pressed a kiss to his ear. “Not even you? Not to beg you to make me
come while you’re deep inside me? Not to beg you to mark me and
make me yours forever?”
    He let loose a low growl, sliding his hand
under her shirt and feeling the heat of her skin. “You don’t need
to beg. Anything you want from me is yours.”
    She bit his earlobe and then licked the small
mark. His fingertips tingled as his cat tried to extend his claws
and rip off her clothes. He fought the cat, reminding the beast
that they were in a vehicle with his family and no one was going to
see his truemate naked but him.
    She wrapped her arms around his neck and
hugged him, the teasing gone from her voice as she whispered, “My
sister has to make her own choices the same way I did. I have zero
regrets except wasting a week away from Belle Terra when I could
have been in your arms.”
    He was thankful she didn’t regret anything.
She told him how she’d had a bad dream about her sister and left,
the same night that he and his family had come to the hotel. Hours
had separated them, and he was disappointed that he’d missed her,
but thankful she was in his arms now.
    “If we’d met that night, would you have known
I was your truemate?” she asked after he explained the mating
dreams and how they had appeared to them in age-order, except for
Lia, who was the youngest and had leap-frogged over Galen when she
scented her truemate in the master vampire of the city of Belle
Terra.
    “I don’t know, love,” he said, a purr
rumbling in his chest. “We’re together now. We can stop wondering
what could have been.”
    “And concentrate on what’s coming next.”
    He definitely liked that idea.
    When they reached the hotel, she said, “I
need to stop into the flower shop for a little while.”
    “Why?”
    “Because I know that by this point, all the
bouquets I made before I left have been sold or are wilted, and I
have a feeling that when we get up to my room, that we aren’t going
to come out for…a day?”
    “Two days,” he said with a growl.
    She mock pouted. “Just two?”
    He grabbed her close and kissed her neck. “As
many days as you can handle, but I’ll never, ever be done.”
    She sighed, and it sounded like a purr, which
made his dick even harder. He could probably punch a hole in
concrete with it at this point. His truemate, the one causing the
pink and gold dreams, was his now.
    She unlocked the metal security screen
covering the storefront, and they said goodbye to Slade
