Trigger Warning begins

"Please Connor, don't do this to me. I promise I'll be a good girl and listen to you," Natalia Rose begged.

"You need to be reminded of whose girl you are. I won't have you walking around thinking that you can give yourself to any male who gives you the least bit of attention," Connor growled out.

"I didn't forget whose girl I am. Please allow me to make it up to you, my big strong wolf," Natalia Rose said hoping that it would calm Connor's anger.

"How do I know that you're not tricking me, that way you can get out of your punishment," Connor asked.

"Do you trust me," Natalia Rose asked.

Connor smirked. "I am the one in control little mate. I want you to show me that you belong to me. I want you to be a good girl and accept your punishment."

"You're not going to let me get out of it are you," Natalia Rose asked in a defeated tone.

"It's either you show me, or I can chain you up for as long as I see necessary for you to go and learn your lesson as to who you belong to," Connor stated.

"Do as you see fit to punish me then, but please don't take my freedom to roam around. I like to go for walks alone in the woods to clear my head," Natalia Rose said while looking down, knowing that she lost this argument with Connor.

"That is what I thought little mate. You know the drill," Connor said. Connor climbed off of Natalia Rose standing to his full height waiting for Natalia Rose to get up and make her way over to him.

Natalia Rose stood up making her way over. She stood in front of him while looking him in the eye as she worked on getting his pants off. Once Natalia Rose loosened his pants, she pulled them down, grabbing him and started to get him ready for what he always did when he wanted to get all his aggression out.

Connor threw his head back and moaned in pleasure. "That's it my little mate. That is the way to get things started."

Natalia Rose kept stroking Connor knowing that if she stopped, she would only anger him more than she already had, and Natalia Rose wanted to do all that she could to keep Connor from getting angry with her.

The whole time that Natalia Rose was getting Connor warmed up, she did her best to hold back the tears that had threatened to roll down her cheeks. Don't you dare cry in front of Connor, Natalia Rose. Don't give him the satisfaction of seeing a single tear roll down your face, Natalia Rose thought to herself in a scolding manner.

Natalia Rose managed to hide her tears as Connor opened his eyes looking into the beautiful icy blue eyes of his mate. "You always have been able to impress me while all other women disappoint me. Now you see why you are my woman? Because you know how to treat a man right. Not that any other man will get a chance to experience the things that you could do for them. If you so much as try it, I will kill the man and keep you locked in the house never to see the light of day again."

"You don't have to worry about that Connor. My body belongs to you and only you," Natalia Rose said.

Connor ran his hands over Natalia Rose's body, letting out a low growl of satisfaction. Connor loved it when Natalia Rose openly admitted belonging to him and him alone.

I don't want to give my little mate any reason to make a run for it, no. I want to show her that I can be the loving mate that she longs to have. But she still has to be punished for keeping me waiting for her to return. Then again, she banged her head on the stairs during our little struggle that we had together. Maybe that is enough punishment, Connor thought to himself, while grabbing hold of Natalia Rose's wrist, making her stop what she was doing.

"Did I do something wrong," Natalia Rose asked, fear lacing her voice.

"No. I am going to go easy on you. That and I don't feel like fighting you for sex tonight. Besides, you banging your head on the stairs; as well as having me throw you around like a rag doll. I think that is punishment enough," Connor said while removing Natalia Rose's hand from his pants, before fixing himself and pulling his pants up. "But if you so much as think about pulling this kind of disobedience again, then I won't hesitate to punish you in the way that you truly deserve. I won't tolerate that kind of disrespect from you. You will be a good mate and do what is expected of you. I also won't tolerate you showing disrespect towards me, especially if we're in front of the pack or the people of town."

End of trigger warning

"I understand Connor. I won't disobey you again," Natalia Rose said.

"What did you say while you were out of town," Connor asked, changing the topic on purpose.

Natalia Rose looked at Connor in confusion. "I beg your pardon?"

"While you went away, what did you say to the people, while you were away from Lupine Ridge? Did you tell anyone about Lupine Ridge and what resides here," Connor asked growing annoyed with Natalia Rose.

"I can assure you that I didn't say anything about Lupine Ridge to anyone. When I went to get the rest of my things. I kept telling my adopted parents that I was moving closer to the school that I was attending. I also said to my parents that I didn't want to be bothered, nor did I want anyone to come pay me a visit, because I want to focus on school. You don't have to worry about anyone making their way up to Lupine Ridge," Natalia Rose said.

"Good because should anyone come up to Lupine Ridge, they won't be leaving Lupine Ridge. Not even in a body bag. They will die here and be buried here; either that or they will be eaten, that way nobody goes searching for missing people," Connor said.

Natalia Rose gave Connor a grossed out look. "You are willing to go as far as eat someone who accidentally found their way in Lupine Ridge?"

"We're wolves, babe. It's part of what we do. We hunt prey. And anyone who dares to set their sights on entering Lupine Ridge won't be leaving. Besides, would you trust an outsider to keep their mouth shut about what they find here in Lupine Ridge? Do you honestly believe that whoever enters our town and sees what we are hiding; do you believe they would keep their mouth shut about saying something to finding werewolves," Connor growled out.

"Connor you're worried about nothing. That and you're rambling which is not like you. Stop. Worrying about things that may not even happen. Nobody would know where to even look for this town. Stop being so paranoid about outsiders coming into our town. Now please let me go. You're hurting me," Natalia Rose said while struggling to break free of Connor's grip.

Connor only tightened his grip on Natalia Rose. "You need to learn to be a little more concerned with unwanted guests, because if word gets out about us, will lead to our death; and the end of our kind."
