“Then I guess there isn’t a choice about whether or not we get pregnant to do our part to save our Pack,” Morlie declared.
Our pack.
“You always have a choice, Morlie.”He cupped her face and held her gaze.Too many things had been forced upon this petite beauty, and he wouldn’t allow this to be one more thing.
“Thank you.But in this, there is only one option.”She linked her fingers with his against her face.“To answer your initial question about whether I wanted children.Now that I’ve met you.I am your mate...I not only want to do life with you, but I want to create it as well.”
He closed the gap between them in a single step.He cupped the back of her head and pulled her into him.Chanin lowered his head and claimed her mouth in a fierce kiss.
Chanin drove his tongue deep, sliding into her warmth.He tasted the same need in her that was burning in him.The world lit up around him.He enjoyed the hot presses of her body against his and the feel of her hands sliding up the cotton covering his chest and into his hair.
Pulling back, he sucked her bottom lip into his mouth, nipping the flesh as he drew back, forcing himself to end the kiss.He stared down at her, at the lust filling her gaze and the swollen, wet sheen of her lips.Damn, he couldn’t wait to ravish her.“You’re mine, little rabbit.I want everything with you.”
“Good.We’re almost home.I’m starving.”She glanced up toward the golden lilac hue of the pre-dawn sky.“It’s barely morning, and I’m not the best of cooks, but I think I could at least heat some of Rudie’s leftovers for us, and then we can start this baby-making process—”
“No!”He stepped back.
“What?”Her brow was furrowed.“I thought you said...”
“Yes, but timing is everything.”He grasped her hand and continued to make their way out of the woods.“I need to handle something first.”
“Fine,” came Morlie’s petulant response.Her feelings were hurt.
He’d have to let her bear the emotion, giving them a little distance at the moment.
Rudie!he barked down the mental pathway that connected him to his runt of an assistant.
Yes, Alpha?
We are less than a mile out.
Got it.I’m at your place, and Bleddyn said he’d meet you on the way to town.
Good.Contact Boris and ensure he meets us at the containment cell.Chanin could finally see their house in the distance.
I’ll get it done.Do you want me with you?
No.Get Wolcott and get the training done for Morlie.
There was a pause before Rudie’s winded response.Um, sure.I can do that.Anything else, Alpha?
Chanin looked over at Morlie and was struck in his gut by her beauty in the early morning light.She walked beside him but seemed deep in thought.Yes, one last thing, runt.Whatever you need to do, keep Morlie away from my wolf until tonight.
