Meddlesome

She is like the perfect fit in my arms, her scent intoxicating me.
All I want is to take her, and quickly too. She shudders in my arms, I'm sure she feels the mate bond also. But then I notice her wolf scent is missing. Ooohh goodness, another human mate. I don't feel like that lengthy procedure of courting and then gently introducing her to my werewolf origin. I want to go straight to business, there is too much going on in the palace to spend much time lecturing my mate.
I hold her away and look at her closely.
Her eyes stare at me wistfully. With her I am going to use my Lycan tricks to bring her to her knees within a short period of time. "Natalie," she whispers in response to my question. I smile at her. "Do you want to come with me, Natalie? I'm going to solve a case with my friend here and then we can have a drink somewhere and catch up. Okay?". She quickly looks behind her as if afraid someone might hear our conversation. "I'm at work now. Until five o'clock. Maybe you want to pick me up at home after work?" she suggests. I shake my head. "No, I'll take you with me now. Let me notify the management while you get your things," I tell her with a kiss on her forehead. I gently nudge her toward the offices as I walk to the staff room.
Within seconds I arranged for her to come with me.
No one here can discuss my authority, I am the King's special envoy, after all. As I stand back in the hallway waiting for Natalie, my mate, Ivor walks up to me. "What does this mean? We're taking one of the secretaries with us?" he asks in stupefaction, referring to the door where Natalie disappeared. "Well, at least she's grown up and I don't have to wait any longer than tonight to get laid," I reply dryly. "She has nice big boobs and an ass I'll have the time of my life with." Ivor's eyes go big. "Your mate? You? Man, I feel terribly sorry for the woman. That the Moon Goddess's mercy rests on her," he shouts dramatically. Growling low, I stare at him after that insult.
"Are you jealous? It's not my fault you must keep your pants up and closed for six years, man! Make sure there's plenty of ice water coming out of your shower," I snarl at him. Even before he can reply, Natalie walks out, packed with her coat and bag. "Ready, babe?" I grab her by the waist and escort her to the elevator. I pull her against me as we whiz down. "I'm Eric, as you heard in the meeting. You're a stunning girl. I kept restraining myself from looking at you during the meeting," I whisper to her. She smiles. "Is that true? I never saw you looking my way", Natalie accuses.
I see Ivor roll his eyes.
"Lady, this man does not seem intent on introducing us to each other. I am Ivor." The Chief Warrior offers my mate a hand which she shakes briefly. Had I not seen him with his own mate a few hours ago, I would have torn the man in front of me to pieces. Touching a newly found mate is deadly. I see him chuckling harassingly; he senses my mood. When the elevator stops at the parking lot, I lead Natalie by the waist to the car and place her in the passenger's seat. Ivor and I swap places; I get behind the wheel while he takes the backseat.
"Do you have the address of her school, Ivor?" I ask.
He hangs over and shows me the location on the online map. I type it into the car GPS and drive to the school where Ivo's mate takes classes. We park at a distance first and skim the area with our eyes. We have to keep in mind that Natalie next to me is human, so we can only communicate in the mind link. I see Ivor sending a message on his phone. "I'll wash this piggy myself," Ivor now declares with suppressed anger. "Wait here for me, they're bullying her again now." And gone is he. Judging by his facial expression, it will not end well with those culprits giving his mate a hard time. Natalie and I are alone now, I take this opportunity to know more about her.
"How long have you been working at Conselho Construction? I haven't been there in a long time but I'm sure I've never seen you before," I tell her. She blushes and blinks her eyes shyly. "Not that long. I was Rain Weiner's secretary, a member of the Management Team. But she resigned and now I'm the general secretary of the staff. She became the CEO girlfriend," she tells me. Rain! Wasn't that Saray's name before? Yes, she had worked in the company. "Hmmm, yes, I know," I reply briefly. "Do you know how she is doing? I never spoke to her after she left," my mate now asks urgently. "I don't know who she ended up becoming a wife, the CEO or the man who had come here looking for her. After a meeting with a new client, Rain left with him for days. The CEO was mad. When she returned to work, they both left. The other man later came back to the company. He desperately searched for Rain, promising a large reward for whoever could provide information about her."

Irritation now bubbles up inside me.
This mate seems meddlesome. She talks too much and unnecessarily. She does not know she is talking about the Queen and that confidentiality is highly required. "Don't worry about her. Maybe you'll meet her one day," I indicate shortly. Her eyes go wide. "Really? Promise me that!" she exclaims, unwilling to let the matter go. I grab her wrist firmly and look her menacingly in the eye. I notice that she stiffens and stares back anxiously. I smile afterward, hoping she took the hint. My hand strokes her chin. "You are so beautiful. And I feel honored that you wanted to come with me immediately," I whisper to her flatteringly. "I'll drop my friend off at home and then we'll go to a restaurant for lunch." I peck her on the lips and intertwine our fingers. She relaxes and succumbs to my seductive aura.
That's better. What I need is an obedient mate. I am not waiting for a rebellious better half to constantly nag at my head. I let out some more overwhelming energy and see her swoon in the seat. I bend over and take her lips in a tender kiss. The sparks rush through me, and I deepen the contact when she allows me entrance to her mouth. She moans enticingly, throws her head against the seatback and surrenders to me....
