My Pet Mate

Chapter 11

*Adam's POV*

The week went by quickly. This Friday Anna didn't feel like going out so she spent time watching movies with me instead. It warmed my heart, knowing that Anna was willing to spend time with us. After what happened last week when I chased her and pinned her to the bathroom door, I had tried to reign in my feelings for her. People always told me how strong the bond would be, but I underestimated it. I wanted to be with her every second of the day. I wanted her close to me, to feel her touch, hear her voice, smell her intoxicating scent.

When she was at work Cade and I acted like a lost puppy. Just waiting around all day until she would return from work again. When she was grading papers we shifted just so we could place our head in her lap and she would pet us. I was still able to hold ourselves back from shifting so we could lay in bed with her, but who knows how long I'll be able to keep that up.

All the control I managed to build in my 26 years of life seemed to be out of the window when it came to her. I wanted her. We wanted her.

It didn't help that I was an Alpha either. It just made everything more intense. Usually, once mates meet, the mate bond will develop quickly. The male marks the female, solidifying the bond. After that the bond will start pushing the two to complete the bond fully. I heard that mates usually can't resist each other long after the marking, not to even mention heat.

Shewolves will go into heat a couple days after marking if the mate bond isn't completed. I don't think it will happen to Anna because she is human though, so that's good.

I groaned as I concentrated back on the sound of the shower. I missed her already. The bond is already pushing me to my limits. What will happen once I finally mark her? I'll go insane if she's not close to me at all times.

Cade has been pushing as well. I have to hold him back almost at all times now. I'm glad the marking has to happen in human form, otherwise he would have done it in wolf form already. I can't mark her without her consent. And she still doesn't even know she's my mate to begin with.

She can feel the bond though. I know she can. It has been developing slower than normal, which makes sense because she is human. But I can tell she feels relaxed and safe with me around, and when I'm close I can always see the blush on her face. It pulls on my control even more. Seeing her blush or bite her lip. God what I wouldn't do to kiss those lips of her.

Cade gave an approving purr, and I was shook from my thoughts.

Shit. Control yourself!

I adjusted my sweatpants. I guess I'll need a cold shower... again. Speaking of showers, I couldn't hear the shower anymore.

Another thing I've been thinking about is our living conditions. Anna has been kind enough to provide us with all these things like clothes, food and a roof above our head. Maybe I should get a job after all, I'm starting to feel bad about lounging around all day. What can I really achieve right now though? Cade wouldn't appreciate a job in a supermarket or retail store or something. Being ordered around isn't his forté. Working as a waiter would also result in me fighting for constant control.

I sighed, maybe I'll just start a dog walking service, that way I can bark around orders, literally.

I finally heard the door open, and our beautiful mate walked out of the bathroom. She was wearing simple jeans and a shirt, but she looked stunning nonetheless. Today her friends were coming over. Apparently, when they're not going out Saturday becomes their go to girl day. Can't wait to sit through hours of girl talk once again. I suppose I can cuddle up to her, since I'll be in wolf form the entire time.
