Chapter 34

Aria's P.O.V

I wake up content, happy and complete, in my mates arms wrapped around my waist protectively. Chase is still fast asleep. I moved slightly and Chase's arms tightened a rounded me. I moved again. "No." Chase moaned in his sleep. Aww, cute. I untangled my legs from his and he didn't like that. "No! Stay!" He said, bringing me closer to him. I shook my head slightly at him, leaned up and kissed him lightly.

Chase moaned and kissed back. I moved down his jaw, then neck to my mark. Chase moved again. "Love!" He managed to strangle out. "Yes mate?" I asked, getting up to straddle his stomach. "Best wake up call ever!" He said intently, staring at my eyes, love shinning through them. "Was it know?" I asked, kissing my mark on him, causing him to moan again. "Y-Yes... You know, that little stunt of yours last night... Neither me or Levi liked it." "Well, I did tell you I hadn't began torturing you yet." I replied causally.

Chase groaned. "Well, can you not do that again please! It killed us before!" He added. "That depends." I replied devilishly. "On what?" "On how good you are?" I replied in that same devilish tone. Chase flipped us over then. "Well, I better make sure I behave then!" He answered mischievously. "Hmmm, yes, you should." I replied. We were silent a moment, before Chase said, "I can't believe your mine! Fully and completely!" Running his hand over my hair that's fanned out over the pillows.

"Yep. I'm yours and your mine!" I replied, really happy for the first time in years. Sapphire was howling in agreement and I can hear Levi howling too. "C'on, we need to get up. Plus I'm starving!" I said, getting out from under him. Chase groaned in protest but complied anyway. I got out from underneath the covers and walked over to our bags that must have been delivered to our rooms last night. Chase growled when he saw my body again.

"Down boy!" I said playfully as I bend over to unzip my bag and take out my waist high skinny jeans and a light blue sleeveless button up shirt with a knot at the bottom, headed for the bathroom and changed into them. I come back out to find Chase already dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt. Totally drool worthy. "Done eye raping me yet love?" Chase mused. "Oh shut up!" I said, skipping towards the door and into the hallway.

Chase chased after me, out the door, down the stairs and onto the foyer where he grabbed my waist, smashing my body against his. "Not a very good idea to run from me my lovely mate." Chase said amused, nuzzling into my neck. I didn't answer him, just purred. After a moment I took his hand and lead him to the dining room. How I found it you asked? I just followed the amazing, delicious, drool worthy scent of food.

"Ah, the love bir-" Declan stopped mid sentence and sniffed the air. "Your mated!" He exclaimed, standing up. Whoever else is in here that we know, turn it look at us. "You... You actually let him mate you Aria?" Zena asked me. I was about to reply when Chase did it for me. "She didn't let me, I let her!" He replied sternly, wrapping his arms around my waist protectively. Declan and Matthew growled at Chase for his tone and I growled back, causing the table to shake from the force of my growl.

Declan and Matthew bowed theirs heads to me, so did everyone else in the room, including Justin and Chase. "If everyone is finished their bickering, any news on Andrew?" I asked. "Yeah, he called me last night, he said that Michael didn't give us a full detail brief on the rouge pack. He said that there was at least a hundred rouges in that one pack." "A hundred!" Winter screamed at him. "Yes and they didn't make one offensive move towards the pack love, which is strange, they have the numbers for it!" He replied.

"That may be but we have the skill, why didn't we move them off our territory?" Winter asked. "Because Andrew found out who the Alpha was!" I said and everyone turned to me. My eyes haven't left Declan's. "You'll be right there Ari. Drew recognised the mark on one of the silver wolves it the Northern Royals!" "Knew it!" I said suddenly. "How did you know?" Jason asked, lifting one eyebrow at me. "All the Royals have rare fur colours. The High Royals, as you've all seen, is pure white. The Northern Royals are pure silver with either a white or black mark across their shoulders... Either Andrew or I needed to see them for ourselves to see if it was them!" I explained.
