I watched Summer sleeping beside me, her body still flushed from our lovemaking.
“Mine,” I whispered, tracing my fingers along the curve of her shoulder.
I couldn’t remember ever feeling this… complete. Summer had finally surrendered herself to me, not just her body but her trust. The way she’d trembled beneath me, her walls clenching around my cock as she screamed my name it was fucking perfection.
I pulled her closer against my chest, nuzzling my face into her hair and inhaling deeply. Her scent was intoxicating – wildflowers and honey, now mingled with my own woodsy musk. The wolf inside me purred with satisfaction.
“I’ve wanted this for so long,” I admitted. “Having you in my bed, carrying my scent.”
Summer laughed softly, the sound warming something deep inside me. “You say that like you’ve been pining for decades,” she teased, turning in my arms to face me. “Yet I seem to recall you had no shortage of willing females in your bed before me.”
I growled playfully, guiding her hand down to my hardening length. “None of them were you.”
“Alex,” she protested weakly, attempting to pull away. “I need to sleep. You’ve already had me three times
tonight.”
I pulled her back against me, capturing her lips in a slow, deep kiss that had her melting into my arms
despite her protests.
“Fine,” she conceded when we finally broke apart, “but I’m serious about needing rest. My body can’t keep up with your insatiable appetite.”
I chuckled, pressing one last kiss to her forehead. “Sleep then, little wolf. We have all the time in the
world now.”
Within moments, her breathing had evened out as sleep claimed her once more.
Eventually, I slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom, returning with a warm washcloth. As I gently cleaned between her thighs, removing the evidence of our passion, my cock stirred again at the sight of
her naked and vulnerable before me.
“Down, boy,” I muttered to myself, forcing my attention elsewhere. She needed rest, not another round of my insatiable appetite.
Once I’d finished, I crawled back into bed and pulled her against me. She instinctively curved her body to fit mine, her ass pressing against my groin in a way that tested my resolve. But I simply held her, content

for now to have her in my arms.
Tomorrow, I decided, watching her sleep. Tomorrow I’d show her what it meant to be courted by an Alpha. No more hiding in bedrooms or dealing with pack drama. I wanted to see her smile, to hear her laugh freely without the weight of the past pressing down on her.
With that thought, I finally allowed myself to join her in sleep, my arms wrapped protectively around
what was mine.
Morning light streamed through the curtains I’d forgotten to close, waking me from the deepest sleep I’d had in months. Summer was still nestled against me, her hair spread across my pillow like spilled ink.
I checked the time – just past nine. We’d slept later than I usually allowed myself, but after last night’s activities, I wasn’t surprised. Careful not to disturb her, I reached for my phone to send a quick message to Ethan, letting him know I wouldn’t be available for pack business today.
“Taking the day off. Handle anything urgent. Will be unreachable.”
His reply came almost immediately: “Understood, Alpha. Enjoy your day.”
I set my phone aside and returned my attention to the sleeping woman beside me. As if sensing my gaze, Summer’s eyes fluttered open, confusion briefly crossing her features before recognition set in.
“Good morning,” she murmured, her voice husky with sleep.
“Morning, beautiful,” I replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. “How did you sleep?”
“Better than I have in years,” she admitted, stretching like a cat. The movement caused the sheet to slip down, revealing her naked breasts. My cock immediately hardened in response.
She noticed, of course, a small smile playing at the corners of her mouth. “Again? Already?”
“Always,” I growled, leaning down to capture her lips. “I’ll never get enough of you.”
Before we could get carried away, however, her stomach rumbled loudly, causing her to blush with
embarrassment.
I laughed, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Food first, then I can have my way with you again.”
