Mate heat

Silas - Pov



“Silas, are you okay?” Elena’s worried voice broke my trance.



“Not great, but can I come in if you don’t mind?” It’s mate heat, and I want to be at her side as much as possible, so I plead to the moon goddess she’ll agree to allow me.



“ugh... okay,” she says as she heads to the kitchen, wiping the sweat from her brow. Elena pours a glass of water for herself and me as she sits across from me.



“Asshole, I’d rather have the delicious arousal of our mate than a glass of water.” The pervert’s purr appeared from Ray.



“I’ll turn off the heating,” Elena answered, blushing. Despite knowing that she was trying to get away from me, I stared at her hourglass figure as her round ass moved, and her scent made it impossible to keep the mate pull at bay.



I turned to my left after hearing a snarl and saw the puppy staring at me with a hostile expression.





“Hey, Pervert, keep your distance from my master,” the dog growled. All because of Ray, I could comprehend what the dog was saying.



“You disgusting little thing. She is my partner, so how dare you kiss her face and leave filthy saliva all over her! She is mine.” Ray snarled. The pup maintained his growling posture.



“Will you simply sit there, Silas, or will you do anything this mongrel dares to be near our mate?” Ray hissed, giving me a headache and sparking my jealousy.



“Bruno, I should keep my mouth shut and mind your business. I don’t want you and Ray bothering me anymore.” I mind linked, Bruno. Any human shapeshifter or animal can easily communicate with my wolf.



“I’ll keep my business if you leave this room while you’re in heat, and not aiding my master with that desired glance and horny thoughts by staring at my master would exacerbate her condition,” Bruno hissed.



“Enough talking, mongrel; I’ll rip you apart. Back at the restaurant, you were shivering when we met,” Ray growled.



“Silas,” Elena’s soothing voice hushed Ray and Bruno. “You said you weren’t feeling well, so should I contact the doctors?”



“No, under the weather, I’ll leave you to rest,” I replied, pushing Ray away from marking Elena and the mate’s heat.





Ray is why I stumbled on Elena’s door to get her scent near us and calm down. I know it seems strange and perverse.





“There’s no reason for you to go... I mean, we can work.” It overjoyed Ray and me to spend more time with Elena, who seemed a little distracted as she observed us, but quickly averted her eyes.





“You are a workaholic,” I mumbled under my breath, and Elena heard me and smiled over her shoulder as she took her laptop from her bag. I wonder if a devastated woman like Elena would either move on and start hooking up with other men or sob uncontrollably, but she did none.



“Everyone human processes sorrow differently, Alpha. Just because she is not throwing herself at you does not mean she is not suffering,” Bruno replied, looking sadly at Elena and My Wolf Ray frowned at him.



“Well, that little dog is smarter,” I thought as Ray frowned.



“So, what are we working on?” I inquired as she switched on her laptop.



“Well, we need to Finalise the actors based on the audition videos,” Elena remarked as she approached the barrack, asking for my poison and pouring it on both of us. As I watched her carry the glass, her palm touched mine, and dammit, did that send a surge of pleasure through my veins? In contrast to before, Elena seemed to be alright.



As we watched the recordings of the auditions and Elena described what the play was about and what the performers were acting in, I took a drink from my liquor. I couldn’t focus on what she said. I am distracted by her moving soft pink lips and her disheveled soft hair strands that block my vision of her lovely delicate face.





I merely nodded in response to what she was speaking as I stared at her pink lips. After a few hours, my palm and hers unintentionally brushed, and the mating heat returned in waves. I gazed at Elena’s dilated brown eyes, and her gasp escaped. I could sense how fast her heart was beating.



I couldn’t resist drawing nearer to her, and as I did so, she decreased the distance between us so that our eyes could continue to look at one another. As we did so, my gaze drifted down to her pink lips, parted slightly as I leaned in to taste her soft lips on mine.



“Alpha, we are in danger,” Yuri’s mental connection said, and it caused the spell to be broken. I stopped only a few inches away from Elena, who had already closed her eyes in anticipation of my kiss.





“Yuri, what the fuck happened?” I yelled back at her because of her bad timing. Yuri, however, did not respond.



When Elena didn’t feel my lips on her, she opened her eyes, looked away in embarrassment, and moved away from me again, which I hated.





“I think I’ll get some rest, Silas,” Elena remarked. I knew she would throw me out for being a jerk, flirting with her, and for the love of God. I was not prepared to accept Elena as my mate; hence, I couldn’t move on from my mate Maya.





“Sure, Goodnight,” I said as she guided me through the door with a solemn expression.



“ You should have kissed Elena. Get over with Maya,” Ray hissed. I ignored him.



As soon as I walked inside my apartment, I dialed Yuri’s number, and her call went to voicemail. I called Mac to find out what was happening, but the call went to voice mail.



“Didn’t you attempt to mind linking the elders, Ray?” I inquired.



“I did. They told me Yuri and Letty were in serious condition from the assault, and it is still unclear who did it. They need you in a pack,” Ray stated.
