Chapter Thirty-Five

*Marks POV*

"Then I guarantee you, she didn't. Talk to her, Mark. That's what you need to do. Talk to her." James folded his arms across his chest. A low growl emanated from my chest. My wolf was not happy at the disrespect coming from his Beta, but I knew James was only being my best friend. A scowl crossed my face, looking away from James's eyes, I raked my hand through my hair.

"How am I supposed to talk to her? She's probably mad at me." I sighed defeatedly.

"I would be too if someone told me to fuck off for doing nothing wrong." James's rested a hand on my shoulder. I looked at him, a sincere smile crossing his face. "But talk to her. Kiss her. Make up to her. You love the damn woman, I know you do." I nodded my head.

I sniffed the air as something intruiging hit my nose. Sweet flowers and strawberries wafted from the kitchen along with the scent of steak and potatoes. Morgan was in the kitchen. I guess I wasn't the only one smelling my beautiful mate. James's face resorted to a lost puppy dog. It was laughable how quickly he became enamored with Sabrina. I was happy for him. He deserved her. James's has been my friend for the longest time, I honestly don't know where I would be without him.

Following James's to the kitchen, I heard Morgan sobbing. My heart broke at the sound. Loathing quickly replaced the anger I was feeling. I made her cry. She must have been listening to our conversation. I was so immersed in our argument, it didn't dawn on me the girls were potentially within ear shot. James bursted through the door to the kitchen, a huge smile plastered on his face. He ran up to Sabrina, scooping her up from behind, gently kissing her cheek. Sabrina's giggles filled the room. My eyes immediately fell on Morgan's puffy face. I walked over to her, slowly, not sure if she wanted to be near me or not.

"Hey." I said quietly, finally reaching where she sat. Her gorgeous eyes looked up to me, peering in to the deepest parts of my soul. How could I have stayed mad at her? I wasn't even exactly mad at her, per say. I was pissed at Raymond. I couldn't get the bastard's words out of my head. He wanted to take what was MINE.

"Hey." She said softly. I reached down, grabbing her hand in mine, the sparks erupting on my skin. My wolf calmed down within an instant.

"Can we talk and leave the newly found lovebirds alone?" I questioned, my gaze softening as I stared into her beautiful brown eyes. She turned her heads toward Sabrina who was feeding a very starved James from her plate. Their eyes never leaving the other. I smiled softly. I was extremely happy for my Beta.

Morgan turned back to look at me, her head nodding in agreement before slowly getting up. Once she was completely standing, I quickly scooped her up bridal style in my arms, her eyes wide in shock. I nuzzled my face into her neck, turning on my heels and marching out the kitchen. I heard James mumble a 'thatta boy' under his breath as we crossed the threshold. I smirked.

"Mark, what the hell are you doing? Put me down!" Morgan squirmed in my arms, but my grip tightened on her. I shook my head.

"Baby, please, stop squirming. Let me hold you a bit longer." She stopped squirming. I lifted my head to meet her hard gaze. Oh boy, she was angry.

"I'm baby now huh?" She crossed her arms, a small pout forming on her face. Goddess this woman drove me insane. I had to show her exactly how much I needed her this instant. The love I have for her. A fire burning within me, that only she could put out.

"Yes, baby." I whispered in her ear, before nibbling on her earlobe. She gasped softly. I smiled. This woman will be the death of me.

I carried her up the steps to my room, kicking the door closed with my foot. I laid her down gently on the bed, climbing over her and locking her in place with my arms on either side of her. She didn't squirm or try to move.

"You mind telling me what you're doing?" Her eyebrow cocked up. Goddess this woman was sexy. She was so many things, and I still couldn't believe I was the luckiest bastard in the world to call her mine.

"I'm going to show you, *kiss* exactly *kiss* how much *kiss* you mean to me." I whispered, peppering her face and neck with kisses. I reached her mark, and blew a short breath on it. Her body arched up towards me, I growled in response. I love the way her body reacted towards me. The way she moans my name was I am driving her to each and every orgasm. The way her arousal smells and the way she tastes has me addicted in all the right ways.

"Mark." She breathes. Within an instant I captured her lips with mine, pushing all the love I have for her into the domineering kiss. I was going to show her, all my feelings, my love, everything I could possible give this woman, I'm going to show her how much I love her.

*Two Hours Later*

Morgan laid next to me, sound asleep. The past two hours were a damn work out for both of us. I was still trying to calm my rapidly beating heart rate. I did everything I could think of to show her just how enamored I am with her. I believe the marks on my back show exactly how much I succeeded in doing just that. I lay there, watching my beautiful, amazing mate sleep. Running my knuckles down her cheek, I can't imagine how I could have stayed angry at her for so long. James was right, as much as I hated to admit it. I could never stay mad at her. She was so strong during that time. She was probably terrified out of her mind, but yet, still tried to make me aware of what was going on. Walking in on what was happening, I couldn't help the breath being knocked out of me. Listening to his words, made my blood boil and my wolf came forward.

"I love you, Morgan." I nuzzled my face into her neck, breathing in her delicious scent.

"I love you, Mark." I shot my head up and was met with the most alluring brown eyes I had ever seen. This woman was the most gorgeous creature I had ever laid eyes on.

"Good evening, sleepy head." I smirked at her. Wrapping my arms around her waist, I pull her closer to me. "How did you sleep, beautiful?"

"Much better than I did last night." She smiled. "Mark, I'm sorry. I knew-"

"Shhh. It's okay, my love. I'm not angry anymore. Please, lets move on. I know why you did what you did. I couldn't be more proud of you for what you did. You're truly amazing. I just can't help imagine how I got so lucky to have you as my mate."

Before Morgan could say anything, James burst through the door. I growled lowly at the intrusion, but shot up when I saw his eyes. "James, whats the matter?"

"You're sisters in danger."
