Chapter 22
Eva's POV
The mate pull was incredibly strong.
Torey had found himself struggling with the fierce and dominating instincts of his wolf. His wolf wanted to complete the mating process, starting with his bite mark to claim me as his mate.
The first step is the marking, it is when your true or chosen mate bites you between your neck and your shoulder blade, it identifies you as their mate, changing your scent to match theirs. The last step is the mating process, the sexual act in making you fully theirs, your connection to their pack solidifying you as one of their own, along with feeling and sensing each other's emotions enabling you to comminute through a mind link.
Usually, the female would join the male's pack unless there were factors that affected the situation, whether one wolf had a higher rank or if they were in a same-sex relationship which allowed them to choose which pack, they wanted to stay with.
Alphas usually passed down their Alpha titles to their first-born sons, on occasions if their first-born daughters wanted to keep their title, they would. It wasn't common for an Alpha to have daughters before having a son.
Torey's wolf had made it known how much he wanted to complete the mating process, the control between Torey and his wolf had been diminishing, Torey's wolf often taking control, his eyes contorting into their black shade, showing the presence of his wolf.
Torey and I had been keeping a little distance the past day or two since our kiss the night before the birthday celebrations.
His wolf and mine had both made it known that they wanted to complete the mating process. We had to stop touching and kissing as much since the pull was becoming unbearable, my wolf would growl at me every time I pulled away, but I wanted to be confident that a rejection wouldn't happen again.
It was fear that was holding me back, but as the days continued to pass by, I knew soon, I would allow him to claim me as his, as I would claim him as mine.
"You ready to go?" Torey asked as he entered the bedroom, dressed in black jeans and a fitted black t-shirt which clung to his chest and arm muscles.
"Yeah, I just need to put my shoes on." I replied, reaching down to grab my shoes as I sat down on the bed, tying my shoelaces.
"I got Elijah to drop Luara off at my parent's house, they asked if she could stay the night at theirs, I said I would double-check with you?"
I looked up at Torey and nodded. Luara loved staying with Lilian and Andrew, she had stayed at their house last week too. They had been making a lot of effort, wanting to get to know their granddaughter.
Luara had also been spending a lot of time with Sam and Charlotte along with their daughter Tillia. Sam had been taking a break from his Beta duties while Elijah took over a few of his in the meantime.
I had spoken to Tina the other day and she seems happy; she had officially moved all her belongings into Elijah's home. Elijah's house was only half a mile from Sam's property.
Torey and I drove past their properties on the way to the restaurant downtown, it took around twenty minutes to get there. It was owned by one of Torey's close friends and he hired the restaurant out for the night, only the two of us occupying the venue.
The restaurant was cute and niche, with candles and fairy lights hanging loosely from the ceiling.
Dinner had been perfect; Torey and I couldn't stop laughing and we never run out of conversation. He spoke a lot of his teenage years with Sam and Elijah.
It was intriguing to hear especially when he mentioned that he had completed his Alpha training with another pack since his father had been dealing with the death of his father when Torey came of shifting age.
I spoke about my time in Texas, and about my teenage years with Linda, Jaxon, and Jason. Torey already knew the situation with my parents and how it came about that I lived with a Beta's family.
After I mentioned about my title of a pack warrior, he suggested we go on a run.
We hadn't been on a run together for a few days, and Torey said he had the perfect place to take me.
Once dinner was over, he led me towards the forest, and I ran behind a tree to remove my dress, shifting into my wolf but not without clutching my dress between my teeth.
I walked out to find Torey in his wolf form, he was waiting for me as I rushed towards him, my wolf brushing herself against him. His eyes caught mine, and I could tell he was smirking as he bumped me lightly before racing off.
I immediately chased after him, unwilling to allow him to run ahead of me, I kept his pace which slowed down considerably once we got to a clearing, it was surrounded by flowers and trees that swayed in the wind, the stars in the sky shining brightly above them.
He directed us towards a large white house, it was enormous with large pillars at the front of the house, along with a huge driveway and foundation which was situated at the front of the property.
Torey nudged the side of me, pointing his snout in the direction of some trees, he wanted me to shift and I followed his order. Once I had pulled my dress over my body, I walked towards Torey who was waiting on the outside porch.
"I built this house over two years ago, and I only just completed it yesterday." Torey began to say, once I sat down, my thigh brushing against his.
I frowned slightly; I wasn't aware that he had been building a property.
"I built it for us." He stated with a grin on his face, his eyes finding mine.
"I came up with the idea when I began to struggle with the thought of never finding you again. My father took over the pack, forcing me to stand down since I couldn't control myself or be in a stable state of mind. So, during that time, I built this, in the hope I would find you and fix the mess I had made."
"You built this for us?
He nodded.
"I did. For you, me, and Luara now. I slowed down the work a few months ago but the moment I found you, I restarted the work again. I would like us to all move in together, to start what we should have started four years ago."
I was in a state of shock and I could barely think or get a word out. Torey and I had been working our relationship out, and regardless of how hard it was to resist him, I did.
I wanted to respect myself and make sure that this wasn't a game for him. I didn't want a repeat of the rejection, and this only confirmed that he was keeping his word.
"Can I look around?" I questioned excitedly, my eyes trailing the property. Bubbles were bubbling inside my stomach and my hands were sweaty with eagerness.
He agreed, a large grin gracing his lips as he led me inside, showing me around the house, and taking me to the master bedroom last.
I looked around the room, mesmerized by the beauty of it all, the whole house was modern and stylish. I couldn't believe that Torey had helped build this for me, for us. His actions were pure and hopeful, wanting to prove that I was worthy of him, that he was worthy of me.
"It's-" I began to say, my words unable to leave my mouth from how speechless I felt.
"Beautiful." Torey finished for me, I turned around to smile at him to find him staring at me intently, his words having a different meaning. I found myself blushing slightly from his unconcealed compliment.
I swallowed the nervous lump that sat in my throat whilst Torey took steps towards me, the atmosphere turning tense and sensual, his eyes never leaving mine, his hands reaching out to grab my neck, his finger brushing against my cheek.
Our eyes stayed connected, both reflecting each other's thoughts.
I wanted him as much as he wanted me in that moment, our humans and wolves wanting the same thing, to be claimed as one.
His hands moved down to my waist, tightening his grip on my hips as he pulled me closer, his lips meeting mine, sparks, and excitement spreading throughout my body.
Our kiss deepened, the butterflies in my stomach creating a frenzy as he trailed kisses down the side of my jaw before going down towards my neck and between my shoulder blade where his mark would lay.
He playfully nipped at the sweet spot, a moan leaving my mouth from his action, the sound causing Torey to lift me up, his hands moving down towards my bum, holding me tightly on my waist.
Torey growled when I moaned again, his kisses leaving me all hot and bothered as he dropped me onto the bed, his hands immediately going for my dress, to put it over my head before throwing his t-shirt off and slowly removing my underwear.
His eyes trailed down my body causing my heart rate to speed up. He hovered above me, his hand moving my head to the side, his canines appearing as he looked at me one more time for confirmation.
I nodded and he leaned down, his lips slowly kissing my neck, continuously teasing me until his canines bit down, the sensations causing an intense pain which quickly went away as he continued to hold it before letting go, the scent of blood invading my senses.
Our chests pressed tightly against each other's, his hands effortlessly pulling me towards him, wrapping my legs around his waist before turning us over. My body now straddling his, my hands pressed on his muscled chest.
"Your turn." He whispered darkly, the sound making my body react lustfully.
I bit down on my bottom lip, pulling it in then smirking at him, my hands roughly pulling his head to the side, my head moving to the crook of his neck, the same area where my mark would lay. I grazed my teeth along the sensitive skin which caused a groan to escape his lips.
He narrowed his eyes at me when I pulled away, deciding to push his hips up connecting them with mine, chills erupting across my entire body.
"If you tease me, Eva, I'll tease you right back." He whispered, a low growl sounding through.
"Hmm," I moaned, my eyes catching his before leaning down, my teeth biting down onto his neck, staking my claim on him. Torey froze for a second as the pain intensified before spinning us back around, my back against the bed with his body over mine, his hands now roughly pinning my hands above my head, my body pinned against the mattress.
One hand slowly trailed down my body, teasing and playing with me, the sensitive skin pulsing as he brushed my sensitive spot, a wave of pleasure rolling through me as I squirmed beneath him
His fingers rubbing me all in the right places, my body becoming tight before he suddenly stopped and smirked, his eyes glistening in amusement as he tortured me.
I groaned and narrowed my eyes at him, my own hand reaching down to clasp him, slowly pumping. He growled lowly at me when I suddenly stopped and smirked back up at him.
He grinned deviously at me, his smile growing wide as I bite down on my lip, slightly nervous about him teasing me. I knew he would get me back worse and that's exactly what he did.
