She overpowered me.

I laid on the ground with my face against the floor and her gripping my hair as she dug her knee into my back.

"I enjoyed that very much Love but I think it's time now to sit down and continue our conversation," She said in my ear.

"Alpha I have the dishes you requested," I heard the waitress come back.

"Wait right there for me," She said.

I felt her bend down and crouch low to my ear.

"If you aren't cooperative then I will slit this girl's throat right here and her blood will be on your hands...literally," She whispered in my ear.

I sighed in frustration because she didn't seem like the type of person to lie about something like that, this young girl didn't deserve to die just because I was being a hard ass. My wolf receded to the back of my mind and I tapped on the ground in annoyance. She hopped off me as she giggled while walking back to the table. I sat down down opposite of her and glared at her. How could she be so much stronger than me, more importantly how could I have let her over power like that, with all the training I've been through?

"Don't hurt yourself thinking so hard about it Love," She said before sipping on her new glass of wine.

The waitress sat a plate of food in front of me that consisted of a medium rare filet mignon steak, puree sweet potato mash and garlic green beans. I looked over at her plate that consisted of the same thing. It did look delicious.

I dug into my food but I could feel her heated stare, staring into me as I concentrated on my food.

"When was the last time you've had sex Kaiden?" She questioned me. I looked up at her with a confused expression.

"You just beat the shit out of me and now you're questioning me about sex? You're something else," I grumbled.

"Don't be dramatic, if I were to beat the shit out of you then you would still me on the ground bleeding with a mangled body, I simply overpowered you now answer the question," She said as she looked at me with curiousity.

"Before I left my pack, why is this a trick question?" Mates never want to know if their mates have been fucking other people before they found them, their jealously kicks in almost like second nature. The idea of your other half being intimate with someone else is sickening.

"No it's not a trick question but I can tell it wasn't good sex, you feel very agitated and sexually frustrated," She said before taking a bite of her food.

I've been sexually frustrated for years, not from lack of sex but lack of what I want to do in sex, I craved more, something I knew only my mate could give me.

"I guess you could say that," I said.

"Hmmm I guess it's safe to say you're a masochist and a sadist like myself?" She asked.

" I don't even know what that is."

She moved right next to me so quickly and grabbed my chin and turned it so that I was staring deep into her eyes.

"I'll put it in simple terms, you sexually enjoy hurting but you also love being hurt in return," She said with a smirk.

I couldn't help but stare deep into her eyes, it was like I was getting lost in a hypnoses, her smell surrounded and all I could think about was her. This always happens whenever she got close to me, her smell and the mate pull combined made me crave her, I needed her, to touch her, caress her, fuck her. It was almost unbearable.

"How good does it feel, seeing your hands wrapped around my throat?" She whispered as she rubbed my leg up and down. She was making my mind go fuzzy, all I could think about was this sensation she was giving me, I needed more.

"It feels so good," I admitted as I lightly panted. Her hand snaked up my torso as she lightly wrapped her fingers around my throat, just lightly massaging it.

"Don't deny it, the feeling of my gun under your chin gave you a rush didn't it? Not knowing if I were going to pull the trigger, I felt how it made you feel," She reached up and slightly kissed my jawline.

What was she doing to me? Why was I even here again? My eyes widened as I remembered what were were even doing here in the first place and my senses came back to me.

"Don't let this distract you from the fact that you still haven't answered any of my questions," I said sternly. She huffed against my jaw and backed away from me with a frown.

"You're no fun," She sat back on her side of the table and pulled her curly hair down out of her bun.

"Why exactly did you attack the Golden Light pack?" I asked aggressively.

She studied me for a moment, observing me before finally shrugging her shoulders and leaning back.

"Our agreement was to peacefully merge packs, the Golden Light pack join mine to grow my army and protect them from danger because let's face it, that entire pack is weak. Of course that would mean for the Alpha to step down from his position because I have no interest in giving up my role as Alpha Female. He agreed, only for me to find out that there was a plan to take me down and for him to take control over both packs making him the most powerful Alpha," She fluffed her curls and looked over at me.

"So you killed him and the pack?" I asked.

"No, I was going to take his pack peacefully or forcefully and there was no way around it, I slaughtered half of his pack. The other half will go through 'rigorous training' and I still haven't killed the Alpha, he's in my personal torture chamber. He has to learn that his actions have consequences," She giggled as she continued to drink her wine until it was all gone.

She took enjoyment in his torture. Just how sick was she?

"I killed his mate and his son right in front of him so he could suffer, I could have let the little boy live but there was a chance that when he got older he would plot revenge on me and I wouldn't be in the mood for that," She sighed.

I looked at her with disgust and concern, was this woman really my mate? She talked about killing the innocent like it was nothing, this woman was truly dark.

"Don't look at me like that Kaiden, you of all people shouldn't look at me like that. You've gone to war with other packs and kill and torture like it's nothing. You of all people should understand," She rolled her eyes as she stood up.

"I do it when necessary and to those who deserve it... you do it for fun," I said as I also stood up.

"Like I said before, I don't come into your territory and start questioning your methods and means," She said as she grabbed my hand and led me out of the room.

I walked behind her and noticed there was a tear in the dress right above her ass and growled in satisfaction.

"And what are you growling about Love?" She turned around and smirked as we walked out of the door.

"There's a rip in your dress," I climbed into the car after her in the back seat.

"You fucking animal, this is one of my favorite dresses," She pouted and knocked on the partition, signaling for the driver to drive off.

I sat back against my seat and let out a big sigh.

What was I supposed to do with this information now? Was she thinking about starting a war? I couldn't have that but then again she was my mate, what could I do?

"I don't plan on starting a war with you dogs," She said as if reading my mind.

She turned to me and tossed her legs over lap as she caressed my chest up and down while staring at me with lust in her eyes.

"How did you know what I was thinking?" I asked.

"The longer we are together, I can catch snippets of what your thinking from the connection. I have no intentions on starting a war, their pack was so useless and helpless I was merely doing them a favor," She explained.

"Your scent is so intoxicating it's almost irresistible," i looked down at her and noticed her eyes were glossy and pitch black. I looked out the window and noticed the full moon peaking over the tree tops.

Fuck, we both must not have realized it was a full moon tonight.

But I didn't want to mate with her, not yet at least I needed to know more about her.

Her smell filled my nostrils as I became 10x stronger than usual. I struggled as I tried to hold back my wolf from taking over and marking her right here but it was hard.

"Fuck, it's a full moon isn't it?" She cursed as she looked out the window.

The scent she was giving off was nearly unbearable, I clutched my pants as I looked away from her.

She was going into heat. Even though she was only half wolf she was still able to go into heat.

"Fuck! I need you to kiss me," She said as she tried to grab for my face but I swatted her away.

"No I don't want to mate with you right now," I growled.

She climbed on top of my lap and straddled me as she looked me in the eyes, lust and frustration clear on her face.

"I don't want to mate with you either but this heat is starting to get to me and I need your touch," She gripped my face and kissed me as hard as she could. I gripped the back of her neck as I kissed her back. Losing aight of all my senses, wanting nothing else except her. Our lips smacked together against each other in hunger and desperation.

So this was what having a mate felt like? This hunger was what I've been missing these past 7 years? It was almost unbearable how badly I wanted to mate with her.

I opened my mouth and felt her suck on my tongue while her hands flew into my hands my hair, tugging at it.

"Kaiden you don't know how badly I want to fuck you," She said, stopping for air as she looked me in the eyes.

The car door flew open and I immediately hoisted her up and carried her out the car with her legs wrapped around my waist.
