Something Unexpected(ON Hold)

Chapter Seventeen

My eyes had slipped shut, but I knew the minute they both stood at the end of the cave. It wasn't just the moon being blocked, but the growls.

Opening my eyes, I watched the two wolves move closer. One was dark as night, and the other was a beacon in the night. Polar opposites, they stood side by side over me, and I panted at the sight and smell of them.

But one of their scents was off, and I couldn't figure which one it was.

Growling, I scooted my body back over the ground till I hit a different wall. The golden one sat, his head crooked to the side like he was confused. His nose went into the air as well, then, and he too growled.

For all I know, it could have been a show, so when Alessandro moved closer, I growled at him. My body was calling to both of them, but I wouldn't fall to ruin a mated wolf.

Even if that wolf had been made for me.

Behind Alessandro, the gold wolf growled the closer he got, his hackles rising, before suddenly he shifted. In the wolf's place stood a very naked man. The man from the hotel.

Moaning, I withered on ground, and Alessandro came ever closer. He was maybe a foot away from me when the man with the gold wolf growled, "Shift back."

Sitting back on his hind legs, Alessandro shook his head and growled, refusing the man's order.

The man walked to us, and grabbed the scruff of Alessandro's neck before he had the chance to react. He pulled him off the ground, and looked him in the eyes as a challenge, the muscles in his arms bulging. Alessandro took the challenge, but backed down almost immediately, and averted his eyes- deeming the gold man the more powerful Alpha.

"Shift back." The command was spoken again, and when he was let go, Alessandro was standing before us.

In his human form I saw the mark clearly. It was fading, because it wasn't a real mating mark, but the sight of it made me sick.

Growling lowly, I watched as the two men watched each other. The golden man came to me, eyes still locked with Alessandro's, and scooped me up in one movement.

Skin against skin, my body flushed even more, and I moaned, curling myself into him. Loving the feel of him holding me, and being so close, a sound I had never made before escaped my throat. Between a purr and a growl, it was a noise of pure content.

Golden man began to walk away from Alessandro, but he called after us. "Wait! That is my mate!"

Above me, the god growled, "No. She was our mate. You lost her the second you let another mark you." He had a slight British accent, and if I wasn't wet before; I was now.

"No, it was for a treaty. It will fade and she will choose me. She knows me," Alessandro growled, and the man looked down at me.

"Hello, Kitten. My name is Luca," he introduced himself, and helped himself to a full body look.

Blushing from the heat coming from my body and the way he was devouring me with his eyes, I murmured, "Maya."

His smiled brightened up the cave, and I wiggled in his arms. "Beautiful."

Forgotten, Alessandro growled, "Put her down and give her to me! She is mine!"

Clicking his tongue, Luca continued his journey to the edge of the cave before turning to him. "You lost."
