Chapter 29

(Owen POV)

Amelia gets the all the clear from the doctor a few hours later, the mysterious pain as the doctor put it, had long passed and they saw no reason to keep her. The three of us walked out of the hospital and she stilled at the curb and turning back to Alexander and I.

“So, what is our next move?” She asks looking to me.

I couldn’t help the small smile that formed in the corner of my mouth at seeing the determined look in her eyes. She was ready for a fight, and my wolf growled lowly at the sight of his mate looking so confident and strong. It was incredibly sexy!

“I think first, both of you need to move here. I know I was worried, but right now I am not sure who I can trust other than the two of you and Liam. If my father is planning something it is best if we are all together. It will make things convenient as well, because we need a plan. Alpha Cole can arrive any day, and we need to have a plan of our own.” I glance between Alexander and Amelia and wait for their reply.

I had been against bringing them to the pack until the situation could be explained, but there wasn’t time for that now. I also wanted Amelia close to me, so I know she is safe.

“I don’t know Owen, the three of us in the pack house might be a bit complicated.” Amelia says.

“Actually, a year ago when I started looking for my mate, I built a house. I never moved into it, but it is fully furnished and ready to be used. We will move in there, if you want.” I hadn’t planned to ask my mate to move in with me in this way, but again time was not our own.

Amelia gave me a small smile and stepped toward me, and my heart instantly begins to race. Being around her so much and not being mated was making my wolf restless, so much so that the sight of her was enough to drive me crazy. Her scent didn’t help calm me either, and when she wrapped her arms around my waist I felt every cell in my body explode on contact.

“Thank you, Owen!” She says hugging me tightly.

I wrap my arms around her as well and nuzzle my head into her hair and breathed in her scent happily. We stay like this for several minutes before Alexander clears his throat behind us.

“Amelia I can go back to the apartment and pack everything away if you want to go with Owen now to the house.” He suggests.

My wolf became excited at the idea of showing off the home we had prepared for our mate with our own hands.
“Are you sure?” She asks him, walking to him and taking his hand.

He looks down at her and I can see in his eyes that he loves her as much as I do. He lifts his hand and runs through her hair and tucks it behind her ear.

“I’ll be quick I promise.” He whispers to her and leans down to kiss her.

Then something happens that surprises me. The sight of my mate kissing another man should have infuriated me, but my wolf didn’t seem bothered at all. It was as if my wolf had accepted the fact that he could share his mate, since he trusted the vampire now. We had spent time together and I knew he cared about Amelia and seeing them together was enough to satisfy my concerns. I couldn’t get rid of the guy and fighting this arrangement would only make things worse. I guess there was no point fighting a battle that you can’t win. So, acceptance was the next best thing.

Alexander stepped back and gave Amelia one last smile before vanishing. I step up to her and slide my hand into her’s getting her attention.

“Ready to see your home?” I ask her.

She smiles brightly back at me and nods excitedly. Even after the horrible things that the pack was going through, it was nice to have this one moment of happiness with my mate. We walked hand-in-hand, and I lead her down the dirt path that winded between several tress. The house was in the middle of a meadow and had trees all around it giving the illusion that it was the only house around. I had picked this spot because it had a good amount of privacy on all sides and lots of space for our pups to play.

If we ever have pups. I hadn’t thought about that much recently but glancing over at my beautiful mate made me yearn for a future where we would have a family. I knew this was no time to worry about such things, but I wanted to be a father and I hoped Amelia wanted pups one day too. We passed the last tree that kept the house hidden, and when the house came into view Amelia gasped at the sight.

“Owen, it’s beautiful!” She says her eyes wide with wonder.

“Does it look like the house from your vision?” I ask her.

“I am learning that nothing from that vision had turned out to be the same, because no it doesn’t look like the same house. But it’s so beautiful!” She says picking up the pace and pulling me behind her to the house.

She stops at the first step leading to the front door, our hands fall away from each other as she takes it all in. I give her a moment to take it all in before scooping her up into my arms.

“My lady!” I say walking toward the door and opening the door and stepping in just like in the movies.

She giggles at the action and leans in to kiss me, taking me by surprise. I am stunned but melt into the kiss instantly, because every part of me had been holding back. That gentle kiss had broken the flood gates of my restraint, so much so that I didn’t set her down and continue the tour. I carried her up the stairs to our room and laid her on the bed not breaking our kiss for even a second. She didn’t pull away or try and stop me, so I kept our lips firmly together.

For a brief moment I pulled away and pulled my shirt over my head, her eyes grew wide and a blush crept onto her cheeks as she looked me up and down. After I let her get a good look, I dove back down and crashed our lips together once more. She gasped into the kiss and grabbed my arms from surprise. Her hold grew softer as the kiss deepened and soon, she was running her hands gentle down my arms making me shiver.

I didn’t know how long we had before Alexander would arrive, and I couldn’t wait any longer.

I pulled away and looked at her. “I want to mark you.” I say.

Her eyes meet mine and a soft smile appears on her face. “Then mark me.” She says simply.

I didn’t waste a second running my hands beneath her shirt and in my rush, I ripped her bra straight down the front and threw it over my shoulder.

She let’s out a laugh and covers her face in embarrassment. “Oh my god Owen! Did you have to rip it?”

I give her a smile and slowly pull her shirt up and over her head. She blushes as my intense gaze takes in every bit of her exposed skin. I can feel my wolf on edge and ready to break through and mark her, but we needed more. We had to wait for the right moment, just before our mate reaches the peak of pleasure. I quickly undress fully, and I watch as she slowly hooks her thumbs into the top of her jeans and pulls them down slowly. It was torture to not rip her clothes of but this image of her was making it all more intense and exciting that I was happy to just watch.

Once she was fully undressed, I climbed over her and kissed her hard and deep. I had never wanted someone so badly that my body was shaking from the intense of need I felt for her. Maybe I had been holding back more than I had realized. No more. She was mine now and I was going to make sure everyone knew it!
