Chapter 12

**Cole**

She was dumb if she thought I was going to let her go out with Lucas. Jaxson was laughing at me in this situation. Natalia was pushing my wolf over the edge. To top that off, she was taunting me in my head. When she walked away; she added more sway to her hips just to tease me.
Jaxson turned to the window, and sighed. “I never really liked him. He just seemed…off.”
Lucas had been a part of this pack for years and was a good fighter, but there was always something about him that was creepy in a stalker kind of way. He was always looking at the unmated women around here. I remember when Jaxson kicked his ass for touching Lana. “There’s something not right about him.”
I look out the window and growl at the sight. Lucas has his arms around her shoulders as she leans into his touch. I growl out. “Jaxson, I don’t know how much more of this I can take. She’s the most stubborn woman I’ve known!”
I knew when I figured out she was my mate, she wasn’t going to make it easy. She’s going to fight me thumb and nail until I finally crack.
Mark my words Natalia, you will be mine.
“That’s it, this shit stops now!” I growl out, clenching my fists.
I’ve had enough of this. Lucas is dead! She’s going to find out what happens when you taunt me. She’s done nothing but be a little tease parading around in nothing but a shirt that barely covers her, and shorts that show off her cute little ass. I growled in anger at how she swayed her hips every time she would walk past me.
I clenched my jaw as I drew closer watching him put his hands all over her. I could feel my canines elongate, and my eyes were flashing back and forth. My wolf was ready to draw blood when I saw him inching closer to her face. I grabbed the back of his shirt, yanking him back and pulling back my fist connecting with his jaw.
“Get your damn hands off her!”
“What’s your problem man?!” He yelled, shoving me back and holding his jaw. Natalia was watching me in horror, as I grabbed him by his shirt punching him again.
“Cole! Stop it!” She begged me as I knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the ribs.
“Jaxson, you have to stop them!” She pleaded with her brother.
“No. Lucas was touching his mate and is going to pay for the consequences.” Jaxson calmly states, leaning on the gate smirking at her.
I straddled him, and pulled my fist back as he breathed out to me. “I-I didn’t know.”
I punched him one last time, then stood up dusting my pants off.
“Now you do. Keep your hands off what’s mine.” He remained silent as he stood up and limped off with his head down low.
I’ll be watching you, Lucas.
Jaxson started to clap and Natalia glared at me with her red face. She was angry, and something about that made it even more exciting. I had so much adrenaline pumping through my veins from my fit of rage. “How dare you! He did nothing wrong.”
Her chest was heaving up and down making it hard for me to look away from her chest. I couldn’t focus on anything but that.
“You’re my mate. I should have killed him for that.”
I took two steps, leaving a gap between us. She backed away and bumped into the tree behind her.
I’ve got you right where I want you, Natalia. I took two more steps trapping her with my arms and our bodies barely touching.
“Look at me, Natalia,” I demanded, pushing her into the tree more. She raised her hand, and I caught her wrist.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you, Nat.”
Holding her wrist, I nip at her neck.
“You’re delusional!”
Her body froze when my lip came in contact with her skin. “You’ve been teasing me lately, walking around in nothing but those shorts and shirts that barely cover anything. These are mine.”
She moaned as I grasped her breasts, pushing them together.
“S-stop.” She moans again.
“Your mouth says no, but your body says yes. You want me.”
She involuntarily grinds on my cock, making my pants feel so tight on me. “How about we go up to my room, and you can work out this problem I got in my pants?”
Her eyes widen in shock and she pushes me away from her. She’s only adding fuel to my fire right now, and I’m not going to let her get away so easily. Grabbing her by the hips, I grind into her hips. “I don’t think so.”
A strange scent fills my nose, and I know exactly who it belongs to. It’s Lucas.
“Go! Run! Go get your brother!” I urged her and she ran as fast as she could go.
He smirked. “Cole, do I smell something tasty?”
I knew it!
He did know we were mates, and he just played me like a violin.
“You lied.” I mused as he stepped forward, shoving my shoulder. My blood boiled remembering how he was touching her and inching closer to her lips. He was going to kiss her fully aware of her being my mate.
“She tastes so good, but you wouldn’t know that. Would you?” He taunted me running his tongue over his bottom lip.
My fist collided with his face and he stumbled back falling to the ground. I lunged at him pummeling him in the face. My wolf had taken over, and all I could see was red. “You son of a bitch! You knew!”
My fist was mid-air when I heard her beautiful voice crack. “Lucas, you knew and you didn’t tell me?”
I stepped away leaving his bloody body and faced her. I could feel her pain from being betrayed by someone that she thought was her friend.
“Take me away from him.”
I led her to her room, and she slumped down on her bed.
“Hey, don’t feel bad. He fooled all of us.” I told her, wiping her tears away. I wanted to hug and kiss away her sadness, but I was afraid she would push me away again. Her lips quivered, tempting me even more. Her eyes met mine drawing me in more and more.
“Cole, I need to tell you something.”
Tilting her face down, my fingers find her chin and force her to look up. “Tell me, Nat.”
“I-I…kiss me.” My face inches closer, and I press my lips to hers. She tastes so good, and I never want this moment to end. I slip my tongue in her mouth finding hers. Her hands slip under my shirt scraping her fingernails down my chest.
“Natalia. Have you seen…” Jaxson stands there frozen in shock covering his eyes. “We need to visit Duke, Cole. Meet me in five minutes.”
I kiss her lips one last time before leaving her to attend to our business with that dirty dog.
“What the hell are you doing on my territory?” Jaxson demanded, punching him in the ribs.
He smirked, “I came to take what’s rightfully mine.”
Jaxson’s fist connects with his nose. The blood drips on his dirty shirt, and he smiles wickedly.
“How does it feel, brother? To know your best friend will be claiming your sister.”
I don’t hesitate to punch him in the mouth, and before I know it I’m pummeling into him with my fists.
“I bet Natalia tastes as good as Lana does. Delectable.” I grind my teeth at his comment about my mate.
“You’re sick! That’s your damn sister!” Punching him again.
Jaxson’s eyes roamed; looking at the damage we caused, and he grinned at me then at his brother.
“Get comfortable brother, you’re going to be here a while.” He said spitting out brother harsher than the rest. Closing and locking the cell, he turns craning his neck at me. “Go be with your mate.”
I know it must have been uncomfortable for him when he walked into her room. I had my lips on hers, and she had her hand up my shirt. My hands were planted on her ass and she was grinding on me, moaning in my mouth. I need to tone down on my thoughts before I let my wolf take over and push me over the edge. The throbbing in my pants is killing me slowly, and begging me to release the pent up tension.
She sashayed her way to me with an innocent smile and I visibly gulped. She’s teasing me again.
“Do you need to work out some kinks in your room?” She murmurs tracing my tattoo. Her touch isn’t enough to satisfy my hunger for her.
“Are you trying to kill me?” I breathed in her ear, as she continued to torture me.
“Maybe.”
I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder, smacking her on the ass.
“Cole!” She yelped out as I made my way to my room, and threw her on the bed. I loomed over her as I spread her legs and I kissed down her neck unbuttoning her shirt.
“Cole, we can’t…I mean I’ve never.” I pressed my finger to her mouth.
“Shh. We can take our time.”
You’ll be the death of me.
