The Millennium Wolves novel Chapter 2

Sienna

What Aiden said couldn’t possibly be true, could it? Recognizing your mate happened the instant your gaze connected with the other. My gaze had connected with Aiden’s dozens of times, but usually the only feelings stirred up inside me were rage and regret.

“You’re lying,” I blurted out, my throat dry. “I know how the mating process works, and if we were mates, we’d know by now!”

“I’m the Alpha. The rules don’t apply to me. The only way I can know if you’re my mate is to spend time with you and get closer to you.”

“Get closer to me? Sure,” I responded skeptically, “In bed, I suppose?”?

“When an Alpha meets his potential mate, his emotions go haywire. He has to rely on his senses and nothing else. First he marks her, and then he lets her come willingly into his bed to feel her dominance and to see if she’s capable of handling him.”

My heart started beating out of my chest as

Aiden stepped closer.

“We both know that you’re more than strong enough to lead a pack. You’re beautiful, dominant, and you have me heeled like a damn cub at his mother’s tit. No one makes me bend like this, but you.”

Was he actually being submissive to me? His words were touching me in a way that made me want him to touch me everywhere.

What was wrong with me tonight? The Haze was becoming unbearable.

He could sense my physical need, but he also knew what I had been through tonight. He gently put his arms around my waist.

“Do you want more?” he asked.

Yes, I fucking wanted more. I was tired of repressing it, but this was the Haze, not me.

There was a chance that he was my mate, but what if he wasn’t?

As I began to pull away, Aiden must have felt my trepidation because he eased up and gently put me on the edge of the bed, resting his hand on my face

Without warning, he leaned in, and his lips found mine. Everything melted away, and my world became a sensory explosion of feelings as every single one of my heightened senses went wild with stimulation.

It was everything I’d hoped for—my first kiss.

I was overcome with emotion, not only because of the kiss, but the club, the Haze, everything. As I broke down, Aiden just held me.

We fell back onto the bed, and I nestled into his body until the tears ran out. My mind finally shut off, allowing me to fall asleep in his arms.

*****

I kept my distance from Aiden for several days after the incident at the club. I needed some space to work through what had nearly happened to me, and since the Haze didn’t care what was appropriate, it felt like the best decision

But after that kiss, Aiden was all I could think about. I hadn’t really gotten a chance to thank him after he brought me home that night, so now I found myself at his doorstep once again.

Before I could knock, he swung the door open.

“Sienna.” He grinned. “I thought I scented you.”

God, just the sight of him sends my Haze into high gear after days of separation.

“I…uh… I just came to thank you for the other night,” I stammered. “You were really there for me when I needed you.”

Aiden pulled me through the doorway and scooped me up in his arms. “You don’t have to thank me. I’d never let anyone harm you. You need to know that.”

I could see he meant it. And I wanted to thank him. I needed to thank him. Without words.

So this time, I kissed him.

And now his mouth was on mine, licking, nipping, and biting me into a state of ecstasy.

When I opened, letting him in, his tongue brushed mine and I succumbed to the melting heat.

The kiss started slowly, our mouths testing each other, sensing what the other liked, but neither of us could hold back anymore, and before I knew it, we were kissing as if we were two hungry ravenous wolves.

We stumbled backwards into the bedroom, and he threw me down on the bed, crawling over my body with pure lust in his eyes. His movements were slow and methodical,

sizing up my body, deciding where to strike next. He caressed the mark he’d made on my neck with his soft lips.

The tiny hairs on my body rose at the G sensation of him floating over my mark.

He pressed a kiss on the mark then opened his mouth and let his tongue play around the bruise, licking it with long, deep strokes that made my body shiver uncontrollably.

Then he bit down, at the same spot, and I almost exploded from the brutal sensation of the Haze. My vision blurred, and I cried out, not from the pain but from the incomparable pleasure that surged through my body.

I was sure this kind of feeling could only come from the power of a real Alpha. I lost control of my wolf, and my nails turned into claws, which I dug into his back, ripping his claws, which I dug into his back, ripping his shirt, causing him to growl in surprise.

I was going to leave my own marks, thin and red, all up and down his back.

He flipped me over on my stomach in retaliation, hiking my dress up to my waist and pressing his bulge against my ass while gripping my hips. His hand went back between my legs, slid my panties aside, and entered deep this time.
