She truly loved and chose me.

The moment he heard the tires screeching, Kwan's heart raced as he flew down the stairs, the sound of Aladdin's footsteps echoing behind him. He watched as Sasha's silver Porsche rounded the corner, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.

"You'd think Alpha Hemming was gone for an entire year, not just a few hours, the way you bolted out of the house," Aladdin said, giving Kwan a once-over with a raised eyebrow.

Kwan looked down at himself, realizing that he was only wearing his black boxers. He shrugged, wiggling his bare toes in the dirt. "If you had the nightmare I just had, it wouldn't matter if you were butt naked. Because you would only care about checking that your mate still belonged to you," he replied.

Aladdin smirked, amusement swirling in his eyes. "You sound like my Jia when she has a dream that I cheated on her. She would wake me up in the middle of the night sometimes, just to question me about a woman I've never met or plan to meet."

Kwan couldn't suppress a chuckle as he nodded his head in understanding. "Yeah, I feel her pain. Dreams like that have the power to unsettle even the most confident individuals, regardless of their unwavering faithfulness and loyalty in their partner." As the car neared them, he narrowed his eyes, noticing that it hadn't slowed down. Due to the very dark tinted windows, he couldn't make out who was behind the wheel. He glanced over at Aladdin, who had a small smirk playing at the corners of his lips. "Is it me, or are they coming in a little hot?"

Aladdin's chuckle escaped his lips, and he nodded, gesturing towards the car with a knowing glint in his eyes. "You might want to take a few steps back," he said as he went back up the steps.

Kwan's eyes widened with a hint of fear. "What? Why?"

"My Jia is driving, and she tends to get a little high off speed. Best believe you're going to be covered in dirt if you stay there."

Kwan turned to make a run for it, but it was too late. His skin was pelted by little grains of dirt, leaving behind a stinging sensation that made him grimace. Maybe running out here in nothing but my underwear wasn't the best idea.

Shooting a furious glare at a laughing Aladdin, he then turned his deadly gaze to Beta Lee, who had hopped out of the car, giggling with glee. "You didn't think to slow down when you saw me?" he asked her.

She shrugged and pointed over at Sasha, who had also stepped out of the car on the passenger side. "Blame your mate. As soon as she saw you, she told me to floor it."

With a low growl, Kwan maneuvered around the car and effortlessly hoisted Sasha onto his broad shoulder. As he marched past the two couples, he could hear their laughter and see the joy in their eyes. "Aladdin, I'll see you later."

Sasha shrieked and hit him on his back. "Put me down this instant," she whispered sharply, feeling her face grow hot with embarrassment.

He playfully gave her a gentle smack on her curvy behind. "Be quiet. You told me I could do as I wish when you got here. So prepare to be punished for that stunt you had Beta Lee pull," he growled.

She couldn't help but laugh, the sound filling the air as she playfully smacked him on his firm buttocks. "That's your punishment for leaving our room in your underwear," she teased with a hint of possessiveness.

Kwan's wolf purred in his mind, a deep satisfaction coursing through him, as he smiled, knowing that his mate was just as possessive of him. He raced up the stairs, the sound of his footsteps quick and determined, and pushed the door open with a creak. He swiftly pulled off her heels before tossing her onto the bed.

She giggled, her laughter filling the room as she bounced on the mattress. The pure joy in her eyes created a radiant sparkle, lighting up the room. Gradually, he inched his way towards her, his movements deliberate and unhurried, effectively trapping her on the bed with his muscular physique. "You mind removing the contacts so I can see your beautiful eyes?" he whispered, his voice laced with desire, before gently nibbling on her lower lip.

Her head nodded in agreement while a soft moan slipped from her lips. With a graceful motion, she reached up and carefully removed the contacts.

With utmost care, he gently plucked the contacts from her hand and smoothly descended from the bed. "I'll be right back. Don't move a muscle," he instructed as he walked to the bathroom and placed the contacts in the case. With a swift movement, he discarded his underwear and turned on the pipe, the sound of rushing water filling the room. He quickly applied soap to his body, vigorously cleansing away the dirt and grime before rinsing it all off. He hummed a soft tune, the sound blending with the rustle of the towel as he wrapped it around his waist.

When he walked out of the bathroom and noticed her still in the position he had left her, a smirk slipped onto his lips.

Her eyes connected with his, and then followed the droplets down his wet frame.

With each stride, he proudly showcased his sculpted pecs, a low, rumbling growl of desire escaping his lips.

"Now let's get you out of that suit. It's blocking my path to your punishment," he whispered huskily as he unbuttoned her blazer. He bit his lip as her warm, toned, dark skin came into view. As he kissed just below her navel, his tongue followed a tantalizing path up to her red lace bra.

A low growl rumbled in his chest when he felt her shiver beneath his lips. Sucking on her stomach, he left behind a trail of small red marks as a sign of his affection. Her soft moans resonated in the room as he kissed and caressed her breasts, slowly removing the blazer.

Kwan continued his torment, skillfully unclipping her bra with one hand while his other hand applied pressure to her sensitive, hardened nipple. A smile formed on his face as he took pleasure in seeing her withered beneath him. With her head firmly pressed against the pillow, her eyes danced with lust, and her lips emitted a symphony of sensual moans.

He dipped his head, gently gripping one of her buds with his teeth and teasing it with his tongue, eliciting a loud, pleasurable moan from her. As she reached out to touch him, he gently grasped both her hands and raised them above her head. Removing his mouth from her nipple, he instructed, "keep them there."

She bit her lips and nodded, yet her eyes revealed the rebellion brewing within her.

He grinned. "Test me, I dare you," he said darkly before lowering his head to run his tongue between her breasts. He slowly slid his hand down to her pants, delicately unzipping them. Smiling when she lifted her butt up so that he could remove it. "Good girl," he growled, placing a kiss at the top of her red lace thong. He leaned back, mesmerized by the striking image of her gorgeous body in red. His tongue flicked across his lips, his focus on the captivating sight of her breasts moving in sync with her rapid breathing. Stunning.

Dipping his head, he kissed, bit and sucked her from her inner thighs down to her ankle, riddling her flesh with his mark. He made his way back up to her stomach and cupped her sex, growling when he felt how wet she was.

Kwan ran his fingers over her heat, his gaze shifting upwards to find her fingers tightly gripping the sheet. A low, possessive growl rumbled from deep within him as he observed her biting her lip. He planted a lingering kiss on her shoulder, inching his way towards his mark.

The small indents from his canines had healed and formed his initials. He felt his shaft twitched as her fingers grazed him. He growled as he locked eyes with her. Running his tongue along his lengthened canines, he pressed his lips against her neck and pierced her skin once again. His finger, slick with her arousal, slid effortlessly into her depths.
