She Can't Be Your Mate novel Chapter 23

"Zane nothing about us is normal. You're an extremely rich werewolf." She laughed and I did the same. She was right. "I don't care about any of that." She said and my eyes widened as she leaned in.

"Are you sure? I can wait for you, Devina." I assured her but she just shook her head.

"I want you to kiss me, Zane." I slowly nodded and held the side of her face with my hand. I inched forward, giving her time to stop me and when she didn't, I leaned in even closer, our noses were touching.

"Alpha!" I heard someone scream and groaned.

"I'm sorry." I kissed her forehead and ran downstairs to find Danny, my best soldier covered in blood. "What happened?" I frantically asked and he shook his head.

"We were ambushed up by the north border." I cursed under my breath and ran my fingers through my hair. I wanted more details of our assassins but finding out how hurt we were, was more important.

"How many were lost?" I hesitantly asked. We have a big enough army to lose a few soldiers but those soldiers still have family and children.

"Over twenty. We were caught off guard Alpha. We couldn't do anything." I nodded, I understood.

"Zane, what happened?" I heard a soft voice ask and I immediately turned around, smiling.

"Nothing Sunshine go back to bed." She shook her head and looked over at Danny who had a questioning expression on his face. She shyly buried her head in my chest and I chuckled. God, she's so cute.

"I'm Danny." He spoke and she pulled away from me a little.

"I'm Devina." She softly smiled. "Zane's mate." I pulled her into my chest again and stroked her blonde hair.

"Congratulations you too." Danny nodded and I smiled. "You got lucky Alpha."

"I know," I spoke as I looked down at my mate. My beautiful mate. "I really did." Devina wrapped her arms around my waist and squeezed. "Sunshine I have to go take care of a few things. It's still early in the morning, you should go back to bed." She pulled her head off of my chest and frowned. If she asks anything with this face, I'd comply.

"I don't want you to leave me." I kissed her forehead and tucked her hair behind her ears.

"I'll be back soon. I promise." She pouted again and looked up at me with innocent eyes.

"Can I come with you?" She knew the effect she had on me. "Please Zane?" I finally caved in and gently grabbed her hand.

"It was nice meeting you Luna." Danny bowed and Devina furrowed her brows. We haven't talked about this yet.

"Luna?" She asked "My name's..." she trailed off and I just shook my head.

"I'll explain later."

"Alpha we need you in the packhouse. We're having a meeting." April, my secretary mind linked me and I told her I was on my way.

"I'm a virgin, Zane." She quickly said and blushed. I snapped my head towards her direction and smiled.

"You are?" She nodded and I stepped closer. "I'm not going to pressure you into doing anything you don't want to Sunshine." She shook her head and stepped away, making me growl. I hate when she does that.

"But you're ready. I don't know when I'll be ready. I can't ask you to wait like that." I pulled her closer and held her hands.

"You aren't asking. I'm just doing." I assured her. "And besides we only have forever." She furrowed her eyebrows and looked up at my face.

"How old are you Zane?" She asked and I narrowed my eyes, trying to understand what she was doing.

"I told you," I replied and she shook her head.

"I know that's not true. How old are you?" I looked away and played with my fingers.

"237," I answered truthfully and she gasped.

"I'm only..." I grabbed her hand again and made her look me in the eyes.

"That doesn't matter." She was young, but so was my body. Sort of.
