Wolves of Roma

Prince of Roma- Chapter 5

Chapter 5
--------------

Evelyn released Maxwell and stepped back in shock at the action driven by her wolf. Her wolf in turn was smug and extremely happy. Her wolf had not trusted Evelyn to do the right thing and took matters in to her own hands and completed the mate bond. Now that it was done, she settled back leaving Evelyn to pick up the pieces.

Evelyn stepped back from him in shock.

He was looking at her with a wary expression barely registering the blood that had trickled down and spread upon the white shirt he was wearing.

She looked at him, her eyes big and wide, her lips parted and bloody from the bite she inflicted on him, Still reeling from her actions "I....She..." She started. But he quickly put a finger on her lips and stopped her.

He came a little closer to her and put one hand on her arm and rubbed gently in a comforting gesture.

"Shhh..." he said silencing her.

"What's done is done" he said in a calm tone "It cannot be undone, so let's not go there as there is no point" he paused and added with a small smile "And I did not mind it...not one bit."

She narrowed her eyes, she knew he had egged her wolf by bending his neck in invitation after reading her thoughts, he could have stopped her if he wanted to and he simply chose not to and instead encouraged it.

But he was also right, what was done was done.

"Don't you think for a moment that I don't know what you did here" she said referring to him encouraging her wolf to take the bite.

His smile expanded and raised his hands in surrender "She wanted, I obliged."

"By the way, good to see you Evelyn" He added still smiling.

She sighed, giving up "I never thought I would say this but good to see you too" she said grudgingly and she was glad to see him. She looked at him, he looked so impeccably dressed in a white shirt and a blue trousers. Her mate looked good she agreed to herself, more than good. Then she suddenly realized he was checking her out too.

His eyes traveled over her drinking in her sight but suddenly they turned serious and narrowed "I am glad to know that, but what happened to you?" he asked referring to her disheveled state.

"Training" She deadpanned and blushed, how horrible she must look to him. This was not how she had planned to present herself to her mate after all this time.

"Who did this to you?!" he demanded.

"Jeff" She responded "Will you avenge what he did to your mate? See, the state he reduced me to?!" she said dramatically.

As if someone switched off a button all the tension in his body left him "Don't you think he is a little too overzealous?" he asked, while he understood the need from training a newly turned wolf, her state indicated a rigorous exercise meant for a warrior.

"You don't know the half of it" She signed out in frustration.

"Why don't you fill me up on the rest during dinner?" he asked.

"Dinner?" she parroted confused.

"Yes, dinner you know the activity of consuming food post sundown."

"I know what dinner is!" She said exasperated "What I want to know is how are you involved in this activity of mine?"

"Simple, I want to have dinner with you, tonight" He responded.
