Chapter 491
I can feel his low, rumbling growl of pleasure at my words. He leans down and kisses me, right there in front of everyone. It only takes me a minute to get lost in the kiss and forget that there are hundreds of people around us.
When he pulls back, he strokes his fingers over my cheek. “I talked to Alpha Robin about me staying the night in his pack. Just in case you still agreed, I wanted us to have some privacy. This,” he says, looking around at the areas still swarming with competitors, “will last until late in the evening. I want to take my time with you and not rush this. I want tonight to be a night that both of us remember for the rest of our lives.”
I smile up at him, this man that I’ve only known for a day, but who has already stolen my heart. The mate bond is strong, there’s no doubt about that. But knowing how much Miles is concerned about my feelings, how he wants to ensure that this night is special for both of us, makes me love him even more.
“Let’s go then,” I say softly.
He slides his hand down to mine, nodding at some of his pack members as we walk toward Alpha Robin and Nikki’s pack. The farther we get from the competition, the quieter it gets.
“We should probably talk about you moving to my pack. I know you know my Lunas, Tiffany and Tammi, so I’m hoping that won’t be a

problem for you.”
“No. I haven’t really established myself in Nikki’s pack yet. Although, I think they’ll be unhappy to lose me before I’ve finished teaching them everything I know about sparring.”
“Yeah, about that…” he says, smiling at me. “When do I get my turn?”
“When do you want your turn?” I ask playfully, making him growl just possessively enough to have my core clenching.
“Are we still talking about sparring?” he growls.
I bite my lip and his growl gets louder. He stops, shaking his head as his eyes focus on my mouth. He lifts his hands and gently pulls my lip out of my teeth. Then his eyes move back up to mine. “You should save those bites for me.”
I gasp as hot desire rushes straight south. Miles‘ nostrils flare as my arousal begins to scent the air around us.
Without another word, he takes my hand, and we begin walking a bit faster toward the packhouse.
“Where’s your room?” he asks me.
“On the Beta floor,” I say and he stops, looking at me. “I’m right beside Reese. I was having nightmares, and he wanted to be able to wake me if…”
He nods. “I would have done the same. But I don’t like you being that close to another unmated male, especially one that you were

-considering taking as a chosen mate.”
“In another day or two, we’ll be heading to your pack, right?”
He smiles again. “Right. But it will be our pack.”
He sighs and I can tell he wants to ask something, but he’s unwilling to do it.
“I’m not sure if this is what you’re thinking, but nothing ever happened between me and Reese. I mean, we kissed a couple of times, but that was it. He was as much of a gentleman with me as you have been.”
He sighs again. “Thank you for that. I wasn’t sure I wanted to know that he had been with my mate. He’s a good guy and we’re friends, but I’d have to kill him if he’d touched you,” he says.
“Well, you don’t have to worry about that,” I say, walking up the stairs. There are very few people in the packhouse since most of the warriors are either at the competition or patrolling the borders. Most of the omegas are either cooking or delivering food to the competition, so for once, it’s very quiet here. We’ll have plenty of privacy for tonight.

When we get to my room, I open the door and Miles stops, breathing deeply, his eyes rolling back into his head.
“Oh goddess above. Your scent is so strong.” When he opens his eyes, they’ve gone nearly black with desire and the growl that comes from him this time is all possessive need.

-We step in and he closes the door behind him. “I need a shower first.
Will you join me?”
I blush, never having showered with someone before. But I like the idea of being in the shower with Miles.
“Yes,” I say, and he leads me to my shower. He lets go of my hand just long enough to turn on the water before turning back to me.
