Kwan's eyes grew dark with anger as he released a low warning growl. The male dared to touch his mate while he was standing a few feet away from her. He moved with lightning speed, his grip iron tight on the dark skin man's shirt collar as he pulled him away from Sasha.

Beta Lee and her mate gasped in shock.

A deep, reverberating growl escaped Sasha's lips as her glowing eyes met his.

Kwan shot her a dark glare, but he did not release his hold on the man's collar.

The man stood at the same height as Kwan. Dressed in a light blue shirt and black jeans.

"You touch my mate again and I will rip your hands from your shoulders," warned Kwan. His voice vibrated in a low, powerful rumble as his wolf emerged.

"I think you got the wrong assumption, man. I'm Neza Campbell, the Gamma of this pack. Alpha Hemming's and Beta Jia's best friend," said Neza. He glanced over at Kwan, who refused to let him go.

Kwan's gaze flitted to Beta Lee with an eyebrow raised in a silent inquiry.

"He's telling the truth," said Beta Lee. Her eyes snapped over to Sasha before returning to Kwan. "Alpha said and I quote, you should release her, Gamma. She is tired, and she wants to go to her bed. You can save the theatrics for another day."

Kwan's eyes were cold and menacing as they locked onto Sasha, before finally loosening his grip on the Gamma. He folded his hands across his chest and met his mate's eyes. "Where is your room and where am I going to get clothes to sleep in since we had to leave our things in the SUV?"

"Alpha says there is a guest bedroom prepared for you. And um...," Jia trailed off.

Kwan turned to face her. His face scrunched up in confusion when he saw her cheeks redden. He glanced over at his mate, who had her head tilted back, taking in the starry night. "What else did she say?" He was intrigued to hear what his mate said to make the Beta's cheeks turn red.

Jia nervously cleared her throat and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Uh... You're a werewolf. You can sleep naked, shift into your wolf or borrow clothes from Neza."

Aladdin and Neza let out horrified gasps.

Kwan's eyes widened, and his ears flushed a deep crimson. He moved to stand in front of Sasha. "I am sleeping in your room and I will not be borrowing clothes from your Gamma." He glanced over his shoulder at Gamma Campbell. "No hard feelings."

Gamma Campbell shrugged. "That's fine with me."

Sasha's eyes met his. They flashed with an emotion he couldn't read.

"Alpha says that you're mad at her so it wouldn't be right for you to sleep in the same bed as her," said Jia.

Kwan growled. "I sleep where my mate sleeps. I don't care how mad we are at each other. Wherever you lay your head, that's where I'll be."

"Awe, Alpha, you got yourself a shy little romantic," squealed Jia.

Kwan felt a wave of color rising up his neck, but his eyes stayed locked on his mate's.

Gamma Neza clapped. "Okay, I would love to stand here and gush about how cute you all are. But a man needs his beauty sleep." He turned away from the group and waved. "Goodnight, I will see you all in the morning."

"Good night," said Jia and Aladdin as they also left.

"Oh, Kwan, just follow Alpha. She'll lead you to her room," said Jia over her shoulder.

"Good night, everyone," said Kwan.

He relaxed as his mate nodded her head for him to follow. As he walked, his eyes keenly scanned the landscape, taking in the feel of the terrain beneath his feet. The east border was a living masterpiece, with towering trees and a variety of plants swaying in the breeze.

As the moonlight shone down, the area seemed to shimmer with a magical aura.

Kwan eyes his mate. "I can shift and we run to make it to your home much faster."

Sasha came to a halt and gave a subtle nod.

He removed his shorts and glanced up at her. But to his disappointment, she was looking at the moon. He felt the usual surge of energy through his body as he shifted into his wolf. He picked up the shorts with his teeth.

Kwan's white fur sparkled in the silvery moonlight as he approached his mate. He felt a spark of electricity shoot through his body as their fur brushed against each other.

A low growl filled the air as Sasha's eyes met his. She signaled with her head for him to follow as she took off towards her home.

Kwan let out an enthusiastic yip that echoed through the woods as he chased after his mate. His wolf relished in the thrill of running with his mate. His mate was fast, even faster than him.

She moved with an agility that left him in awe. Though she was taller than him in her lycan form, she moved with the grace of a cheetah. He could also tell that she wasn't going at her usual speed.

Kwan slowed to a jog as different houses came into view. Some houses were grand, while others were quaint, and some boasted a contemporary design.

He stopped beside his mate, who had paused in front of a towering, five-story house. The walls of the house were adorned with white paint and intricate golden designs. He could see the lights shining through the windows and heard the faint murmur of voices.

Kwan followed Sasha's footsteps as they ascended the porcelain steps leading up to the pack-house door. She pushed the door open and gestured for him to enter.

All the talking ceased as they entered.

"Alpha," the Crescent Moon's members greeted with a bow.

Kwan watched as his mate nodded at the people in the living room before going up the grand white staircase. He trailed after her, his claws creating a clacking noise that echoed off the white marble floors.

***

Kwan sat in a chair in his mate's room, waiting to go take a shower. He sighed as the scent of his mate filled his lungs—cocoa butter and nature.

When he'd walked into her room, he was surprised to find it neat. The room comprised stark white walls that contrasted against the dark wooden king-size bed in the center. A huge walk-in closet and bathroom to the left. She had floor to ceiling windows. A dresser on the left of her door and her desk to the right of her bed.

Her walls had a few pictures of her family and friends.

Kwan rose from the chair when she stepped out of the bathroom. He could feel his wolf fighting for control at the sight of his mate in nothing but a pink, fluffy towel.

His chest vibrated with a low growl as his gaze settled on the droplets of water cascading down her shoulder.

Sasha pointed to the bathroom. "You can take a shower. If you don't mind smelling like vanilla, you can use my body wash."

Kwan slowly approached her, his eyes locked onto hers with unwavering intensity. He stopped a breath away from her and pulled her close.

She let out an audible gasp, her ice-blue eyes widening in shock.

Goddess, her eyes were gorgeous.

He licked his lips hungrily as he stared down at her mouth, which was slightly agape in surprise. He leaned down, the corners of his mouth turning up in a smirk as her eyes closed in anticipation.

Kwan brushed his lips over hers, and her breath hitched. A mischievous smirk spread across his face as he moved closer to her ear. His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, "don't think you can make things better by teasing me, mate." His teeth lightly grazed her earlobe, and she shivered at the sensation, causing him to smirk.

He removed his hands from her waist and stripped out of his shorts while entering the bathroom. The heat of her eyes on him sent a pleasurable shiver down his spine. His lips curved into a smirk as he heard her low, throaty growl.

Kwan took a cold shower, feeling the chill water soothe the fire his mate had lit in his veins. As he breathed in the scent of her vanilla body wash, his muscles slowly began to relax. Even though he was mad at his mate, the thought of feeling her warmth beside him filled him with excitement.

He stepped out of the shower after turning off the pipe. His skin was still damp from the water. He grabbed a towel from the cabinet under the bathroom face basin. He wrapped the towel around his waist and began brushing his teeth with the spare toothbrush she had left on the washbasin.

After rinsing out his mouth in the bathroom, Kwan stepped out and was met with a sight that caused him to freeze in the doorway.

There, in all her beautiful glory, was his mate. She had one leg propped up on the bed, her hands massaging the lotion into her skin. His eyes trailed down to her ass that was covered by a red lace panty.

He wet his suddenly dry lips at the sight of her fat, pretty pink flesh peeping through her panty. A deep, primal growl rumbled from his chest, echoing throughout the room.

Sasha glanced over her shoulder in his direction. "There is a new pair of boxers on the chair, along with sweatpants for you."

Kwan felt his dick twitch as he walked up to his mate. The sound of his hand smacking her nice size ass filled the room.

She gasped, her voice trembling with a low moan that filled the room.

His hands moved over her body, one cupping her sex and the other moving up her spine before finally wrapping around her throat. "You're not being a good girl, mate. I'm going to have you begging for what you want because of your constant teasing." His voice was a low, husky growl.

"I never said I was a good—" Her sweet moan filled the room as his hand drew slow circles over her panty.

"You were saying?" He shifted her panty to the side and pressed lightly on her heated core. Kwan's hardened dick throbbed, eager to feel her warmth wrapped around him.

Sasha's body shivered, her fingers curling around the sheets. "I never—"

His finger slipped into her tight, searing heat and he growled as her juice coated his finger. Goddess, she was tight and already wet for me. He pulled his finger out. "I'm waiting, mate."

She glared at him over her shoulder. But said nothing.

Kwan smirked. His alpha female wasn't willing to beg. Oh, how I am going to enjoy punishing her.

His fingers entered her wet heat again, eliciting a pleasure-filled moan from her. He curled his finger inside her before pulling out. He could sense her frustration growing and it made his lips curl up into a smug smirk.

"All you have to do is beg for it, mate."

She whimpered as his fingertip hovered over her pulsing core. "Please..."

Kwan's chest vibrated with a satisfied hum. He slipped his fingers inside her, pumping in and out. The sounds of ecstasy filled the room, making him increase his speed.

He could feel the pressure building inside her and he slipped another finger in. Stroking and scissoring inside her as her hips moved to match his rhythm. He pulled his fingers out completely when he felt her walls tightening around him.

Sasha growled. "What the fuck?" she whispered breathlessly.

The corners of Kwan's lips curved into a mischievous smirk. "You will only orgasm when you are being a good girl and when you beg me to fuck that tight little pussy of yours."

Goddess, this felt like a torture to me and not her.

Kwan unwrapped the damp towel from his waist. A smile formed on his lips when her eyes widened at the sight of his length. He palmed his erection and slowly brought it to her entrance. "Do you want me to fuck you?" His voice was a deep, raspy rumble.

Sasha ran her tongue over her lips and nodded.

"I want to hear you say it." Kwan rubbed his dick against her heated sex and groaned.

Her body trembled with ecstasy. She moved back against him and he moved his dick from her entrance.

Kwan slapped her ass. "You want to be a bad girl so you won't be getting any dick."

She turned to glare at him. As her hands trailed down to her sex. "I can finish without you."

His gaze sharpened, his eyes darkening as a deep, warning growl vibrated through the room. Sending another slap to her round behind. "You don't touch yourself without my permission."

Sasha gasped in shock before a soft moan fell from her lips.

He removed her hand and slapped his tip against her slick flesh. "Do I make myself clear, baby girl?"

"Yes," she whispered breathlessly.

"Good, now be a good girl and go to bed. I need to take another shower," said Kwan.

Kwan's deep chuckle rumbled through the room when she growled at him. But she reluctantly obeyed his commands.

After his shower, he put on his boxer brief and then crawled into bed. He could feel the tension being released from his body as he pulled his sleeping mate into his chest. He brushed his lips against her forehead tenderly before he drifted off to sleep.
