I Don't Need A Mate *book two*

Chapter Six

Cherry's POV

I awoke laying on his chest. Paul slept peacefully.

'You know, if you two wined up together, you could join his pack; which would release you from your father's pack.' I almost sighed outloud. She was right. But, whatever last night had meant to me, it might not have meant anything to him.

His body shifted, telling me he was waking up. His eyes opened and the corner of his lips curled up.

"Morning," he murmured.

"Morning," I returned.

"How do you feel now?" he asked. "You don't look like your in pain like you were last night." I noddd, sat up, and turned my back to him, searching the floor for my underwear. "Here." He held out one of his shirts. I took it and slipped it over my head.

Paul gripped my hips and turned me to face him.

"Cherry?" His eyes held a question I could not quiet understand. I frowned. "My inner wolf suggested something, and I agree with him." My frown deepened.

"What?" He smiled softly.

"Join us. Be mine."

Paul's POV

"WHAT?!" my father roared. "You want that Blood Pack female to join us! Are you out of your mind?!" My anger pulsed. Until Cherry, I had never disagreed with my father.

"Will you listen to me!" I demanded.

"No, you listen, we don't-" My mother's growl silenced everything in the living room.

"I will make the choice, not you," she said, looking staight at my father. He flinched and hung his head. "Now, all of you stay here. I am going to have a priviet word with Cherry." I watched my mother walked out of the room.

My father's head was still hung.

"Paul?" I looked over at Sofia. Stefan still held her, but his eyes were closed. I grunted, waiting for her to speak again. "Who is she to you? First you claimed to hate her because she was targeting your parents, then you defended her. Now you want her to join us. You do understand exactly what you're asking, right?"

I nodded.

"If she joins us, she'll be yours," she murmured, "just like Stefan and I." I frowned. "Being your mother's other mate, he shouldn't have anyother mate... but he has me. We're not true werewolf mates."

"But we're soul mates," Stefan said, kissing her cheek. Then he looked at me. "Maybe she's that to you." I inclined my head.

"Thank you." my mother returned to the room. She didn't even spare my father a look. Damn, he was definatly in the dog house now.

"Well, I will allow her to join us," she said, gazing at me. "She's yours to deal with." Suddenly my mother hugged me. "Good luck, honey." I nodded. I left the room and went straight to my room. Cherry paused from her pacing.

"You're in." She yipped and threw herself at me. I caught her, hugging her. We laughed.

"No more Blood Pack!" She said, grinning widely. I chuckled.

As our laughing and smiles slowly faded, I gently set her down. She stared at me for a few seconds, then leaned forwards, kissing me. I pulled her close, and kissed her back.

Shay's POV

Alpha kicked the wall, kicking a hole in the wall. I grinned. That little bitch. The moment she was back in our hands, I was going to teach her a lesson.

"It's time to begin plans," Alpha growled. "We need to gather our strangth. Gather everyone, it's time we attacked."
