“Edon” Whispering, fear of chocking on my own tongue. How long I have waited to see her face, and all that is only her. The tight jean shorts she had on, sparked images I couldn’t and didn’t want to shake. The black push up tank, gave her cleavage a round effect that sat perfectly with me. Her feet were bare, showing off her teal toe polish. Taking another step to me, her eyes transfixed to my blues.

    “Over my dead body” He father roars, grabbing her arm pulling her behind him. Cutting off my view, and further angering me. You never man handle an Alpha mate, its not only foolish but is the quickest way of getting yourself killed.

    “Unhand my mate” Taking a risk, by stepping forward.

    “She is not your mate, and will never be your mate” Sneering back at me. Her mother’s hand touches my chest, keeping me at a stand still as I growl proactively at him.

    “Mathew, you are being childish. Edon has the right to choose her mate, don’t take more away from her”

    “Shut you mouth, you took her away from me” He bellowed back. Behind her father, small fists were starting to form. The build up of power that started, wafting through the air had even her mother stopping. Slowly her father turned to the side, giving me a view of Edon. Her eyes were crammed shut, as she shook like a person going into a seizer. With heavy breathing, her nose flared like I’d seen once before in my house. Her wolf was at her breaking point, and with everyone screaming and fighting Edon was loosing control.

    “Edon” Whispering as I took a small step to her. Her body sent out a wave of power, halting my movements. When her father reached for her, she swatted his hand away without even looking at him. Those stunning green lush eyes, opened revealing the deepest depths of black nothingness. The words of her Father, made even my stomach turn.

    “She can’t be his mate. He’s not worthy enough for her” As my mouth went to argue, Edon beat me to the punch.

    “That’s rich, coming from you father” Her head slowly turning like a snake. His eyes frantically tried to understand the meaning behind her words, but she clarified them.

    “You bred with a human mate, but my full blooded Alpha mate isn’t good enough” Pivoting her body, so he was in full view of her front. God she was stunning, even in her rage she was breathtakingly ravishing. She was so much stronger, then anyone ever gave her credit for. Living on the streets, leaning everything either by hearing or personal experiences had taught her the real meaning to life and death. How I envied her, the things she must of seen. Perhaps she has more to tell me, maybe her anger isn’t just about this. I can’t help but think that made their was another reason why she didn’t want a mate in the first place, so just what changed her mind?

    “That was a mistake, Edon” If its possible her eye darkened more, as she roared in his face.

    “SO I was a mistake, is that what your telling me?” He moved back when she took a step closer, it was like watching a very deadly dance. Her steps were matched with his backing away, never had I thought the highest ranking wolf would back down to a she-wolf.

    “That’s not what I meant” Holding his hands in a less threatening manor.

    “But that’s what you said, that being with my mother was a mistake, which means my birth should of never happened. RIGHT!” Her hand made contact as she shoved him into a wall.

    “Edon, calm yourself” Her mother bellowed, as her eyes were wide. She still had feelings for the Monarch, that much was proven in the way she looked at him.

    “He’s a bastard” She roared over her shoulder.

    “Yes, but he is also your father” Sighing as she raked her hand through her hair.

    “I don’t care, he has no right to speak about me as if I’m not standing two fucking feet away from him” Glaring back at her father.

    “Edon, please calm down” Her mother begged again. But it was useless, she wanted blood. I could see it in her eyes, they were breaking faster then a wall being hit by a wrecking ball. Quickly I moved behind her, wrapping my arms around her small waist and pulling her backwards. She struggled as she was still glaring at her father, but with my whispering words she relaxed.

    “Easy love, I’m here. I wont go anywhere without you” Her body shook, as she contained the tears. Spinning around pushing her face into my chest, I felt calm wash over me as she grabbed the fabric of my shirt. Rubbing her back, I took a short look at her father. He seemed to be breathing normal again, so I used it to my advantage.

    “I’m taking Edon with me.” His eyes glared, before pushing off the wall.

    “No, she’s not your mate”

    “She will be, when I mark her” Growling back, to my surprise her body didn’t tense at my words. Instead she tightened her hold on me, as if half expecting her father to pull us apart. Moving her with me, as we headed for the main door he yelled out.

    “You can only have her if you complete the requirements of Pack Law.” Her body tensed, as she looked at him. Her mother seemed to groan, as she sat down in a near by seat close to John.

    “What requirements?” She asked. Thank goodness she asked, cause I didn’t have a clue. Pack Law wasn’t something I kept up with, mainly because they were continually changing their rulings. I would wait for the annually meeting at the end of every year, and find out everything that way. Which to my surprise was what most Alpha, who ranked in the same category as me would do. We were more into finding females, for our packs and keeping everything calm and content.

    “Pack Law states if the Monarch disagrees, with the mating of a pair, they have to face the other mated choices the Monarch has chosen.” Turning in my arms, she kept her back pushed up against me.

    “Who do I have to go against?” She asked. Her father shook his head.

    “Not you….him” Pointing to me. Edon looked up, her beautiful eyes looked worried.

    “Who are they?” She asked, without looking away from me.

    “The two you so promptly, asked questions to.” He started blushing heavily, I wondered just what she had asked them. Grinning, Edon turned to her father.

    “Really, those two are who Salim has to face off?” A burst of electricity ran out, as she said my first name.

~She’s excepted us~ My wolf purred. Thrilled with the idea of her, feeling comfortable enough not to snap my title out.

~Yes, she has…now we just have to go through this Pack Law shit~

~Always an obstacle~ He growled. Really I found it a little comical, here we are. And she’s all excepting us as her mate, and we have more loops to jump through.

    “This isn’t a joke Edon, Alpha Travis and Alpha Rein are skilled fighters, and they will be competing for you” Her father huffed out as if, she should of known every Alpha already. My heart sunk at the two Alpha’s he spoke of, they were by far the toughest Alpha’s around. Though they were normally peaceful, when it came to mates they were ruthless. Alpha Travis had the largest pack of the western hemisphere, while Alpha Rein was known for his hard training.

    Both in their own rights, were never to be messed with. And with Edon being the winning prize, at what I could only assume was a pain staking battle. The Monarch had insured I wouldn’t win, he had chosen the two best Alpha’s out of the fleet. How the hell was I even going to get an attack on one, never mind two. Sighing she turned to me, flashing her eyes around my face. Before she knew it she was looking more worried, lifting her hand to my face. So soft and warm, it was a comfort I had been yearning for.

    Somehow I was going to have to win, against all odds I needed my Edon. Kissing the palm of her hand, I tried my damnnest to look strong as I faced her father. We locked eyes, me trying to hold my gaze as I excepted his words.

    “I accepts the Pack Laws challenge, in the mate bond for Edon. Daughter of the Monarch.” Fighting the power he was pushed into my face, I started to look away when her warm hand squeezed mine. Feeling stronger I pulled her into my side, tucking her under my arm and taking in a deep breath of her smell. Rubbing her head on my chest, I knew she was trying to relax me.

    “Fine….Your request has been approved. You shall face Alpha Rein and Alpha Travis for the Mate bond for my daughter Edon.” Growling as I kept his eyes, nodding once I took Edon away with me. Needing her comfort and some peace and damn quiet.

~Edon~

My father has excepted Salim, as a mate for me. Now all he has to do is beat the two morons, my father has selected for me. Salim seems to of paled a little, and is now looking a lot worse.

    “Salim?” As he shifts over me. His eyes turn down, taking me in.

    “Edon, can we sit” Motioning for the gazebo. Nodding I head that way. His body hit the wooden seat, that a sigh exits.

    “Is something wrong?” Crap what if he’s changed his mind, what if he doesn’t think I’m worth the risk. As these thoughts enter my mind, I chew my cheek.

    “I’m not going to lie to you.” He stars, which only makes me chew more.

    “Alpha Rein and Alpha Travis, are powerful. More so then me, I’m not at the top like they are.” I watch his expression, trying to figure out where he’s going with this.

    “And?” I push on.

    “And I might not win against them, Alpha Rein is a hell of a fighter, and Travis has one of the largest packs around. Your father has picked the best Alphas, to be your mates” I growl taking his face in my hands. Staring into his eyes, I feel him slipping from me.

    “Salim, don’t talk like that. Look maybe you don’t have the biggest pack, or know all there is to know about fighting. But you’re the one I want, isn’t that enough?” feeling my stomach knot, isn’t a feeling I like to put myself through. Giving me the Salim smile, that always seems to make me hot I growls pulling me onto his lap.

    “Yes, that’s more then enough. I’m just happy to hear you say it out loud.” Slapping his shoulder, he chuckles.

    “Just win” Folding my arms.

    “Or what? You gunna fight for yourself?” He was toying with me, and enjoying every second of it.

    “You really want another males hands all over me?” Turning one eye to him, his face hardens. But there isn’t a reply. Keeping my smirk down, I give it to him.   

    “Cause you know….if you don’t win. Rein or Travis are gunna wanna mate me, and mark me.” The deep rumble from his chest, shakes my inner thighs.

    “Edon” it’s a whisper, but even that’s a clear warning…in which I do heed.

    “There going to touch my body, in places you’ve never even seen yet. Kissing my lips and slip their….

    “EDON” His body drops us to the floor, but slips a hand under my head before we land. Covering most of my body with his, those crystal blue eyes turn deadly. As if reminding me he gave a warning, I grin back.

    “What’s wrong don’t like the though of another man, taking my body” He shakes pushing his hot tongue down my throat. Moaning out, I stair at him. This is about as aggressive as I’ve seen him, special with me.

    “That will be enough out of you” He growls, further wetting my lace panties. Biting my lip, I so want to go on. But its hard when he’s glaring at me like that.

    “Salim”

    “I’ve waited to long to find a woman like you, I’ll be damned if I let some punk ass take you away from me.” His head shakes, as he pushes into my neck. Kissing where he could mark me, my lips gasp out. Moving his lips to my ear, he speaks slowly and with enough passion to kill me softly.

    “I wont ever let you leave me, you’re my mate no matter what” Quivering under him, he places perfectly executed butterflies all over my neck and cheek.

    “But…Salim” Barely getting his name out, he cuts me off.

    “No buts, Edon. When I win, and I will win. I am going to take you, all of you. By the time I get done with your body, you wont want to have anyone else. You’ll crave me like a drug, I’ll be the only thing you think of.” Licking the rim of my ear, before his hot breath attacks again. Sliding his free hand carefully up my side, resting in on my breast before rubbing in a manor I should have been ashamed of in broad daylight.

    His legs push mine apart, as he grinds slowly against my lower half. Gasping as I felt the tightness, growing in his jeans.

    “You feel that? Its only half of what I’m going to give you. Every cell in your body, will feel the screaming pleasure I’ll be giving. Now do you think any other man can give you that?” Pushing slowly down, at the same time his thumb brushes past my lace bra. Moaning out cause I could really use him right now, screw the damn fight. Just give me an hour, no scratch that.

    “Salim, I need you” Whimpering as his body glides over mine.

    “I no baby” Kissing my lips, before pulling away from me.

Okay seriously if I had balls, they’d be blue right now…..

Frowning as he grins down at me, before pulling me into his arms. Turning away he hums, in pleasure as he knows exactly what he’s done to me.

    “Jerk” Grumbling.

    “You want me don’t you?” Blowing kisses down my neck.   

    “I don’t have to answer that” Feeling the stubborn child in me, coming out.

    “Say it Edon, say you want me. That I’m all you ever wanted”

    “Why should I?” Frowning. He pushes me to one of the beams, holding the gazebo up.

    “Because that way, I can remember your words when I mop the floor with those Alpha’s.” They way he says it, heats me up.

    “Your really going to win?” Titling my head.

    “You bet your fucking sexy ass I’m going to win. No one touches what’s mine” Holy hell, why can’t I just lay him now. Gripping his shirt, kissing him harder. My legs wrap around his body, helping me he grabs my ass dropping me onto the railing.

    “Say it” Growling as he breaking in and out of my kiss.

    “I need you, I only want you. You have to win, I can’t think about being with another man. Your all I want” pulling at his hair, messing it up more. His possessive growl, as he grabs my shirt.

    “Your damn right I’m all you want” Slamming his lips into mine, pushing my mouth open as he takes complete control.
