Chapter Sixteen

(Dylan's POV)

Holding my mate in my arms is an indescribable feeling for me. With my arms wrapped around her little frame, I feel as if I can shield her from the whole world and keep her safe from all danger.

    I'm not going to lie; some selfish part of me enjoys keeping Chloe all to myself. As much as I want to share her with my pack and declare her as the future Luna, I know it's still too risky. Chloe has had to constantly remind me of this as my animalistic side is more difficult to control around her. It is in a male wolf's nature to be overly possessive of his female. For an Alpha, the possessiveness is extremely amplified.

    Chloe sighs and snuggles into my chest further, causing a low purr of content that rumbles in my chest. I squeeze her tighter against me as if she will slip through my fingers. Burying my face in the crook of her neck, I breathe in deeply to take in her mouth watering scent. I could stand here all day hugging my little mate without even speaking a word.

    When Chloe starts to pull away, I growl and pull her close to me again, resting my chin on top of her head. I'm not ready to return to the life where Chloe isn't allowed to be mine. My heart aches in my chest at the thought of letting her go, but my brain reminds me of the war that would inevitably emerge between the Night Fury and Lunar Eclipse packs.

    She's not leaving us, my wolf snarls in the back of my mind.

    Never, I agree with him

    "Dyl," she says softly, gently resting her palm on where my heart beats. "We have to go back."

    "No," I snap stubbornly.

    I feel her sigh against me and she is successful in escaping my grasp. "Your pack will be wondering where you are."

    "I don't give a shit."

    She lightly smacks my chest, a cute scowl forming through her eyebrows. "You have responsibilities, idiot."

    I raise my eyebrows and look down at her stunning blue eyes emitting annoyance towards me. "What did you just call me?" I ask warningly, the tone of my voice lowering.

Chloe gulps audibly. "Uh, nothing. Nevermind! I'm just going to go..." she uses her hand to point over her shoulder with her thumb at the door. She takes a careful step back.

    A mischievous smirk forms on my lips. "And where do you think you're going?"

    "Erm... food! Yeah, a burger." I continue to take predatory steps towards her, my eyes never straying.

    As I continue to stare, she keeps rambling, her eyes darting around the room nervously; anything to avoid my gaze. "Lilah wants a burger so we're getting burgers! I just remembered!"

    I just keep advancing slowly towards her. Step by step. She holds her palms in front of her body in defense, her feet taking her backwards until she hits the wall. She gasps in surprise, her wide frightened eyes locking on mine. My smirk widens and she flatens herself against the wall as if trying to disappear.

    "I didn't mean it!" Chloe blurts hastily as I am a few steps away. "I promise! I just--"

    Before she can respond, I'm pouncing on my prey, grabbing her from the wall and tossing her gently on the bed behind us. She lands on the mattress with an "oomph," a small gust of air leaving her lips. I crawl onto the mattress as she scrambles backwards, clinging to the headboard.
