His

Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself

"Where the fuck have you been?!"

I winced at the sound of his voice and set the magazine I'd been reading down.

"I went for breakfast with Sadie at some diner near by," I responded as calmly as I could.

Believe it or not, I was more pissed at his tone than I was frightened. Here I'd been, minding my own business, when he had come barging into the room guns-a-blazing. The Alpha latched onto the arms of the chair I sat in and spun it around so that I was forced to face him. His dark eyes locked on mine and I sucked in a breath.

"I have been looking everywhere for you - you can't just leave."

I glared, "what am I supposed to do? Tell you every time I go out?"

His grip on the chair tightened. "You won't be telling me anything, little girl. You will be asking me."

My face flamed in anger and I tried to shove him away. He wouldn't budge. "What am I? Six? I don't have to do what you say. You're not my father and you're not my alpha."

He barked out a laugh and I jolted back. "Oh, but baby, I am your alpha. And I wouldn't mind being your daddy either. It'd make it more fun when I spank you."

His dangerous smirk had me paling in my seat. "When you spank me? You wouldn't dare," I said in barely a whisper.

A grin stretched across his lips and exposed perfect teeth. "Oh, I would."

Grinding my teeth together, I got out of the chair and stomped over to the elevators - the doors sliding closed before he could catch me.

He wants to spank me? I thought with wide eyes as the elevator slid smoothly up the levels.

"Sounds like fun."

I jumped at the sound of my wolf inside of my head.

It most certainly does not sound like fun! I snapped back.

She kept quiet after that, but when the doors glided open again on the fifth floor, she whispered -

"Liar."

~~~~

"Just ask him, then."

"No way. I'm not asking that prick for anything."

Sadie groaned and flopped down on the bed. "You need clothes, Evangeline. Mine don't exactly fit you now that you've started eating again."

I smirked, "are you calling me fat, Sadie?"

She rolled her eyes at me. "No. My clothes don't fit you because you're not built like a twelve year old boy."

I laughed and slid off the bed. She wasn't wrong; I was a lot taller than her 5'3" frame and my chest and butt were having a hard time not busting out of the materials. I did need my own clothes and the only way for that was ask his royal Ass Wipe for permission to go out shopping.

"Let's go," I grunted in defeat.

Sadie cheered and followed me from the room and down the hall to the stairs. It was mid morning so the pack had just returned from their workout. Most were lounging around the living room and the Alpha was one of them. He was sprawled out on an armchair with his feet kicked up in only a pair of grey basketball shorts and sneakers. Sweat glistened down his body and a small smattering of hair was on his sternum. I swallowed.

"Lochlan, when you gonna let us meet your mate," one of the guys in the room asked.

I stiffened in the doorway where I had yet to be noticed. Sadie opened her mouth to draw attention to ourselves and I grabbed her arm, digging my nails in. The Alpha grinned and ran a hand through his hair.
