Alpha Leo and the Heart of Fire novel Chapter 137

Beautiful Bond Ch 10. Mine

I tug my top down, smoothing the creases. from it, feeling a little self-conscious of his gaze on me, but I like it…

Last night, I had acted awfully. Seeing that mark, I suddenly felt so angry. He was mine.

That was all I could think of.

Is this how I’m going to react? I say I don’t want to offend Leo, but then I can’t even handle that mark on Marcel’s neck anymore.

“I really am sorry…” I say quietly.

“Don’t be. You were just feeling possessive of what’s yours.” He says, and my eyes widen.

He knew why I reacted like that!

“I… I don’t know what overcame me.” Actually, I do… “When I went back to my room…. I …”

I hesitate and he slows down as we exit the gates. “Is everything alright?” He asks, concerned.

I nod, taking a deep breath. “I shifted.” I blurt out. 3

He stops in his tracks and looks me over as if I’m going to wolf out on him right now. He whistles, making me blush, and he smiles. “I did think that your aura was stronger. Do Leo and Azura know?”

I shake my head. “Not yet… I wanted to tell you first.” I say, feeling proud that I did it…” It happened straight away, after I left you by the car.”

“I see… What exactly happened?”

I take a breath, brushing a strand of my hair back as I stare into those dark brown eyes and begin to tell him exactly what went down

(FLASHBACK – LAST NIGHT)

I rush inside and head straight up to my room, feeling guilt and anguish rip through me. An intense urge to turn and run back to my mate is struggling to take over, and it takes my all to manage to lock the door after me and stay here.

My heart is racing, and I’m devastated at how I reacted.

This pain and anger I feel are so intense, but I’m being stupid. I am his second chance mate. Of course, he had a mate who marked him before me, I knew that!

“Mine.” I growl as I stagger to the bathroom feeling pain rush through my body. I don’t know what’s happening…

I fall onto all fours, and I bite on my lip, not wanting anyone to hear. Excruciating pain rips through me and I fall over, unable to breathe and then, it is all gone.

I look around my room, my heart thumping, but something is wrong… everything looks different…

Goddess…

That’s when I look down and realise I’m no longer a human…

Golden fur… 4

I turn and stare at the mirror across my room, my heart beating violently as I’m greeted by a beautiful honey-gold coloured wolf…

I’m… beautiful… a

A wave of realisation hits me as I continue to

stare at my reflection.

I shifted.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

I gasp when he tugs me into his arms, enveloping me in his warmth, although I’m far too aware of his body against mine and a certain part of him that makes my core knot in desire.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t there beside you.” He caresses my back, and I snuggle into his embrace.

“It wasn’t that painful… I’m ok.” I say softly, inhaling his alluring scent. I can feel her presence even more. I guess subconsciously something had made her lock up, and she had awoken because of our emotions.

“Shame that the dress is gone then.” He says, making me laugh.

“You liked it.” I reply.

“That’s an understatement and I would have preferred being the one to rip it off you.” He replies huskily, and my heart skips a beat as my face heats up.

“Mm.” I mumble, looking at my hand that rests on his chest. He leans down and I look up. My gaze dips to his lips, but I slowly place a soft kiss on his cheek before hiding my face in his chest. His thrumming heart tells me I’m having as much of an effect on him as he is on me.

I want to stay here forever.
