The way Alexander had reacted after learning about his brother told me he hadn't been aware of Aspen's existence. Hell, I was still debating whether it was a possibility.

But when Alexander didn't even question me or laugh at my words as if I was being ridiculous, I knew perhaps, he knew something.

We were back at the pack house, with my mate making phone calls one after the other.

The second that I had told him, after the initial shocked reaction, he had immediately brought us back home. The guards were on duty to find Aspen, because Alexander needed to see him.

There were so many questions that I wanted to ask, but I simply remained seated on the leather chair as I eyed Alexander who was currently sat on the chair behind his desk, with the phone pressed up against his ear.

Even in a moment like this, he looked incredibly sexy. He was wearing a simple white t-shirt, his eyes slightly dark and hard. His hand ran the length of his short hair in frustration, as he sighed loudly at whatever the person on the other line was saying.

My wolf whimpered lowly at the sight of him and I found myself, subconsciously, abandoning my seat to attend to Alexander.

He glanced up at me the closer that I got to him, and without questioning me, he pulled his chair back and held his hand out for me.

I gave him a weak smile, before I placed my hand in his and let him pull me on to his lap. My wolf purred in contentment as I nestled my head in the crook of Alexander's neck. His musky cologne filled my nostrils, making me close my eyes as sparks erupted down my spine.

Alexander wrapped his arm tightly around my waist, before he placed a soft kiss on top of my head.

"No, Jensen," he muttered in to the phone, his voice hard. "Did you know about this?" 

A muffled voice, whom I assumed was Alpha Jensen, responded. I could feel Alexander's muscles tense beneath me, so I raised my hand to run it over his skin.

'Calm down,' I mind-linked him, pressing a soft kiss to his neck.

In response to my action, his finger on my waist dug in to my skin as he held me firmly. I wasn't purposely teasing him, but merely trying to calm him down, knowing how worked up he was.

Alexander exchanged a couple of more words with the Alpha of Moorgate Pack before he dropped the phone on to the table, signalling the end of the call.

Before I could question him on anything, he placed both of his hands on my waist and lifted me on to his desk. I yelped in surprise, but had no time to utter a word when his mouth covered mine roughly.

I could feel his wolf at bay, and I could feel all the frustration running through his veins, but I welcomed him because I needed this too.

Alexander hungrily kissed me, groaning against my lips as he did so. He didn't kiss me for long, before he began to graze his teeth along my jaw and neck. I moaned in to him when his teeth sunk down on the mark, a lot more roughly than normal, as if he was re-claiming me.

But to my utter surprise, it wasn't painful.

The feeling coursing through me as his tongue swept across where his teeth had been seconds ago, made me tilt my head back and moan loudly.
