More Than Anything

"Mine." He growls out.

My body is practically hanging limp in Troy's arms. My eyes scan over the Monster of a man standing in front of me. Chestnut hair messily coiffured to reveal a strong frowning face. Bright, Brown eyes set lightly within their sockets furiously stare at Troy.  He stands well over my height as well as Troy and his friends. I catch his strong, dominant scent. Great, he's an Alpha.

This could not possibly be happening. It wasn't fair. I didn't want nor need this... not now. My sister was just killed my her mate and now the Moon goddess has sent mine to me. It makes me furious. 

My mate reaches for me, practically yanking me from Troys grasp. I did not want to be in this mans arms right now, hell any mans arms. I pushed myself away from him struggle to stand on my own but I'd be damned to let any man help me right now. 

My mate's eyes seemed to waver slightly for a second from angry to hurt, but the look of hurt disappeared as soon as it came. He returns his enraged eyes back to Troy. 

"This is the girl you were talking about Troy?" He snapped venomously . If looks could kill, Troy would have been dead from the minute my mate laid eyes on him.

My mate takes a step toward Troy before the man named Colin steps forward placing a hand a my mate's shoulder. 

"He didn't know Nathan." Colin tries to reason but my mate, Nathan, just aggressively shrugs Colin's hand off his shoulder. I stand watching the scene unfolded before me. 

"I should kill you for touching what is mine." Nathan spits out. I scoff, rather loudly, drawing the attention of the males before me.  

"This is ridiculous," I shout storming out of the bar. I hurriedly trudge down the sidewalk. In the dark night I can see the neon lights of my motel.  It doesn't take long before I hear heavy footsteps behind me. A rough hand grabs my arm tightly turning me around. Nathan stands in front of me, "What!" I holler.

"Where do you think you're going?" Nathan fumes. I almost laugh at his demanding question. I didn't owe him an explanation for anything.

"I don't think that's any of your business." I shot grabbing his hand and ripping it away from my arm before turning back around and continuing towards the motel. He let out a loud ha and began to walk after me.

"Well you see, darling, you're my mate so it makes it my business." His voice held humor to it.

"Oh you don't have to remind me about the mate part. You made that pretty clear back there with your outburst," I stop turning to look at him. His face held a smirk, "What are you gonna do next, pee on my leg to mark your territory?" I mock. His smirk falls at my dog reference but not for long.

"Well I don't know about peeing but I have a couple of ideas about how I can "mark my territory" in other ways. " I don't miss the double meaning that's behind his words. I scoff turning around annoyed and begin walking yet again. 

I'm close now to the motel and relief washes over me. Nathan doesn't take long to catch up to me though, his long strides working to his advantage. His scent creeped it's way up to me and I can't ignore how intoxicating it is. I let out an inner groan of annoyance. The amount of frustration this man is already causing me is unbelievable. We walk silently for a couple of minutes before reaching the motel parking lot. I pull out the key to the room from my back pocket. He follows me all the way to the door as I unlock it. I can fill his presence behind me and i quickly spin around standing in the door frame that enters the room.

"What will it take to get you to leave me alone for the night?" i ask ready to be rid of him. His lips pull into a half sided smile. 

"Tell me your name." he replies. I stand for a moment staring into those brown eyes contemplating if i wanted to tell him my name. At this point if it'll get him to leave me alone then so be it.

"Bell," I answered, "My name is Bell. "
