The Alpha novel Chapter 29

Scarlet's POV

I begin rushing for the doors as they come flying open, Levi and Tony rushing to my side and leading me out at the same time that Lucien lunges for me with a roar. He barely misses as my guards hurry me to the elevator. My scent is surrounding us and other unmated male wolves begin to come out of their rooms, edging closer to me. Levi and Tony face off on either side of me, ready to protect me at all costs and the elevator doors finally open before the three of us climb in.

I'm whisked back up to the penthouse because we all agreed it would be unwise to go find Ethan in the pack house. Instead, Levi mind-links him to meet me in our home. The pain is so unbearable that Tony ends up lifting me bridal-style and carrying me to my bed. He lies me down and rushes out, closing the door behind him. I've heard that this happens when a mated she-wolf takes too long to mate and mark with her mate, but I never realized it would be like this. Fire is consuming me and everything aches. I can feel my juices along my thighs. The only thing I know to temporarily relieve my pain is an orgasm, so I swiftly hike my dress up and slide my hand under the delicate lace fabric of my panties. My fingers begin working my clit as my back arches, the need to cum is overwhelming. I slip a finger into my soft warm folds and begin moving it in and out as my thumb continues to massage the swollen bundle of nerves.

All of a sudden, the door crashes open as Ethan bursts inside, his eyes black with lust and hunger. He quickly slams the door shut behind him without taking his gaze off me. His nostrils flare as he breathes in my scent. He moves over to me with inhuman speed, suddenly hovering over me as he holds himself up on his elbows. I let out a whimper. "Ethan... please... I'm burning..." I beg, my fingers not leaving my aching core.

"I know angel..." he murmurs softly, his warm, minty breath fanning over my face as his nose grazes along my jaw and down my neck. "I can't mark you yet..."

"I know! Just please! I need to cum. I need you inside me!" I plead urgently, raising my head up to nibble on his ear. A low growl rumbles from his chest and he closes his eyes as he tries to maintain control over his wolf. I hardly recognize myself. I've never been this wanton. And yet, I know I want this.
