Werewolf Lovers

Chapter 3 - Mates

Shawn's POV.

I sprinted over, catching her just before she hits the ground. I hold her bridal style, making sure her shin doesn't touch the ground.

She wiggles slightly in my arms, most likely wanting to be released. I unintentionally growl possessively. I hold her closer to my chest, not caring that my little mate is still squirming in my hold.

I sigh, trying to focus on my work and not the amazing scent of my wonderful looking mate.

I am the Beta of Moon Star Pack. That means that the young beauty in my arms will stand by my side, taking on the female Beta role. I can't wait...

I'm cut out of my thoughts when something tugs at the collar of my t-shirt. I glance down to see my baby girl giving me the most adorable puppy eyes ever.

I stop walking, probably giving her a concerned glare, telling her to explain to me what was wrong. Hopefully she isn't too upset that she's my mate.

Hannah's POV.

My heart is pounding and racing at this man's touch. Why am I feeling this way, you ask? Simple...we're mates. His power, though...oh man...don't even get me started. His Beta power is pouring off him like spilling juice.

I look up at his beautiful brown eyes, which are slightly attractive and staring back into my emerald green. My breath hitches as he leans down, pressing a solemn kiss on my temple. I shivered at his touch, but quickly recovered.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him toward me. He is hesitant at first, but leans in for a kiss, which I happily accept.

He sits me on the bed gently; breaking the kiss, he catches my leg before it hits the bars on the bed. He glanced at me for a split second, then moves in for a possessive, yet worrying kiss.

"I'm okay," I giggle, pulling back to look at my mate. He smirks slightly, gripping my hand in his.

"If you weren't injured," he started, "I would probably be in the process of mating with you."

My cheeks are most likely flushed red, making me appear as a tomato. I swear! You probably can't even tell me from a tomato because of how red I am turning.

"Are you going to reject me?" I ask nervously. Honestly, being rejected is the last thing I want. The thought of him doing that scared me half to death. At first he chuckles at my question. But when he sees that I'm not joking, his expressions turn more serious.

"You're kidding me, right?" he replies with his own question. I shake my head, watching him carefully. He places his forehead in his palm and sighs. "No, but why do you think I would ever reject you?"

"Be-because I'm a rogue and that will bring down your pride as a Beta," I whisper. I try to avoid his eye contact, but he lifts my chin up to make me look him straight in the eye.

"I will never reject you, even if you are a rogue. My pride as a Beta will not be true pride if I don't have you by my side. You are my mate, an-" that's all he gets to say before a sharp knock comes at the door. I wince, but my mate's touch helps soothe my body.

A man comes storming into the room, his face is a deep red color and his eyes carrying anger. I shake in mate's arms. My breathing isn't leveled, and I feel like any second now, I might pass out.

Shawn's POV.

"Shawn! Where have you been this whole time? I was looking for you. You are supposed to be at the pack house wait-" he shouts, then pauses when he catches a glimpse of my poor, little, terrified mate shaking in my arms.

"Alpha, please," I beg quietly, strocking my hand through my mate's beautiful, silk, brown hair.

I can't wait till I actually claim her. She will be my little pleasure. When I have a rough day...I will come home to have her give me a cheery mood. Yes, you know what I mean. My favorite part of the mating process. The fun that I can do whenever and wherever I please.

I snap my gaze to my mate who is trying to be closer to me, for protection, than possible. I grin at how cute she looks when she is terrified. Wait a moment...cute is an understatement here! She looks adorable and irresistibly attractive, anytime and place.

Her emerald greens are staring at me when I come back to my senses. Her eyes are widened, and she blushes hard.

"That's right, baby...we're mates."
