That night, I arrived at Olivia’s luxury penthouse for dinner. The familiar scent of her home wrapped around me like a warm embrace.

Evelyn Foster had prepared a magnificent spread of venison steaks and roasted vegetables.

She’d grown accustomed to my frequent visits over the past weeks.

“Good evening, Alpha Connor,” Evelyn greeted me with a respectful bow. “Dinner will be ready

in ten minutes.”

“Thank you, Evelyn,” I replied, finding Olivia in the living room reviewing case files.

She looked up from her work, amber eyes brightening when she saw me. “You’re early

tonight.”

“Finished my meetings ahead of schedule,” I said, pulling her into my arms. “Wanted to spend

more time with my mate.”

After dinner, Evelyn tactfully disappeared to her quarters. She understood the importance of

giving mated pairs their privacy.

Olivia and I shared a long, relaxing shower together. The warm water cascaded over our

bodies as we held each other close.

Later, we lay together in the master bedroom. Silk sheets pooled around our naked forms as

moonlight streamed through the floor–to–ceiling windows.

I traced lazy patterns on Olivia’s bare shoulder, content to simply hold her. My usual

passionate urgency was notably absent tonight.

Olivia noticed my restraint immediately. She turned in my arms with a playful smile dancing on her lips.

“Why are you so patient tonight?” she teased, her fingers trailing across my chest.

My lips curved into an amused grin. “I have an important pack alliance meeting at eight tomorrow morning,”

“So?” Olivia’s eyebrow arched challengingly.

“I can’t indulge in our usual passionate mating tonight,” I explained, though my wolf protested

the decision.

Olivia retorted with mock innocence, “We could simply finish earlier and sleep.”

I pulled her closer against my chest, my Alpha voice rumbling with amusement. “Finish

earlier? You underestimate your mate, Luna.”

“Once I start claiming you, it won’t end until late, late into the night,” I murmured against her

ear.

Olivia shivered at my words, her wolf responding to my Alpha tone. She snuggled deeper into

the silk sheets.

I propped myself up on one elbow, gazing down at her with piercing ice–blue eyes. “I’m not

sleepy yet.”

Olivia’s amber eyes peeked out from under the covers. “Oh? What should we do?”

My eyes twinkled with mischief. “How about you lull me to sleep?”

Surprise flickered across her features. “Me? Lull you to sleep?”

I nodded, my expression becoming unexpectedly vulnerable. “Yes, you. I always lull you to sleep after our mating.”

“You’ve never done it for me,” I added softly.

Olivia chuckled, the sound like silver bells. “How old are you, needing a lullaby?”

I drawled, my voice taking on a dangerous edge. “If I can’t sleep, either you lull me, or…”

My dark eyes gleamed with predatory intent. “We could just exercise until we’re too

exhausted to stay awake.”

“I could sacrifice some sleep for the cause,” I finished with a wolfish grin.

Olivia was speechless, her wolf recognizing my barely restrained desire. The air between us crackled with s****1 tension.

She remained silent for a long moment, weighing her options. I could practically see the wheels turning in her brilliant mind.

It was better to lull me to sleep. Much easier than being thoroughly claimed by her mate until

dawn.

Olivia closed her eyes again, burrowing deeper into the warm sheets. “It’s early. Wake me at

eight.”

“Of course,” I murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.

Quietly, I got up and dressed in my business suit. The dark fabric was perfectly tailored to my

frame.

I left for Rivers Pack Holdings, my mind already shifting to the important alliance meeting

ahead.

At 7:58 AM, the executives were seated in perfect order in the conference room. Their Alpha was never late for important business.

Today was especially crucial. This video conference involved a very important overseas pack ally.

Both territories would be discussing a major collaboration that could reshape our alliance

network.

Daniel Richardson’s voice came through the screen as I entered. “Connor, ready to begin?”

I nodded in response. “Daniel, please wait a moment. I need to call my mate and wake her

up.”

Daniel laughed heartily from his territory. “Of course, Alpha. I’ll wait–mate bonds come first.”

At exactly 8:00 AM, I called Olivia using my phone. I didn’t want to startle her awake through our mate bond.

The Rivers Pack executives sat respectfully, listening to their Alpha call his mate. They

understood the importance of such relationships.

Daniel poured himself a glass of water, waiting patiently. Werewolf culture always prioritized

mate bonds above business.

Olivia answered the phone, her voice thick with sleep. “Hello?”

She was completely unaware of the high–level pack meeting happening on my end.

“Livvy, it’s eight o’clock, time to get up,” I said, my voice unbelievably tender.
