Chapter 5 Hers

Elia

Mate!

I sat across from my best friend at the coffee shop and lifted my nose to the air, inhaling an unfamiliar scent deeply. The hair on my arms stood up, my heart started to pound against my chest, and my wolf purred for the scent of cacao.

The entrance door opened, and she walked into the café. Rich brown hair with golden streaks in it, piercing green eyes, breasts pressed together in a cute teal tank top.

"Elia?!" Roxie, my best friend, asked, waving a hand in front of my face.

I swallowed hard and glanced back at the other woman, trying to keep my cool. Goddess, I hadn't ever seen anything like her before. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever met.

I had been with other women before, but ... I never thought my mate would be one.

Mate. My wolf purred louder, and her eyes met mine. Mate.

Roxie grabbed my hands and shook them slightly. "Elia, are you-"

The she-wolf let out a possessive snarl and snapped her head in our direction, canines lengthening from under her lips, eyes shifting to a golden color. I pulled my arms out of Roxie's grip and stood up abruptly.

"Roxie, I have to go," I said and hurried out of the coffee shop before my mate unknowingly spilled my deepest, darkest secret to my best friend-that werewolves were real.

My coffee spilled all over me, and Roxie called my name. But I didn't turn back. I ran and I ran and I ran, knowing that she was following me. When I reached the woods, I yanked off my clothes and shifted into my wolf, sprinting through the forest.

Mate. Go back. Find mate. Mark her.

But I knew I needed to get far enough away from the café because Roxie wasn't one to take my shit. She'd run out after me to try to find me. Her scent filled my nostrils, and I slowed down near the lake, breathing it in like a drug.

She growled from behind me and leaped at me, canines digging lightly into my shoulder to stop me from running. We rolled to the ground, me on my back, her above me like she owned me. And, Goddess, she could own me if she wanted to.

When she pinned me to the ground in her wolf form, I shifted immediately and covered my breasts with my hand. My heart raced against my chest, and I tried to speak, but nothing would come out. She was so much faster and bigger than I thought she'd be.

She shifted into her human, pinning my right leg to the ground between her legs. "Don't hide yourself from me." She grabbed my wrist and pinned it at the side of my head. "You're mine."

She drew a finger up the column of my neck, right where mates marked each other. I shivered under her touch, and she smiled down at me.

"I can do whatever I want with you." She trailed her finger across my nipple, making it hard, eyes darkening.

"What's your name?" I managed to get out, staring up into her eyes. They were like two suns that I couldn't stop staring at even if I tried. Some of her brown hair blew into her face, the light through the trees hitting the left side of her face perfectly.

"Lexi." She brushed her nose up the side of my neck. "Lexi from the NightMoon Pack."

My eyes widened, my core clenching. "You're ... an alpha?"

A low growl rumbled from her throat, and she dipped her hand between my legs. "Does that get my mate all hot and bothered?" she asked, fingers brushing against the front of my bare pussy. She dipped her head and sucked my nipple into her mouth, tugging on it gently.

I whimpered and squirmed under her, my pussy clenching. She kissed lower and lower until her tits were pressing against my thighs and her breath was warming my pussy. I bit my lip, trying to hold back my moan as she pressed her lips to my folds and flicked her tongue against my clit.

"You're so wet for me, Elia," she said.

My eyes widened. "How'd you know my-"

She let out another growl and pinned my thighs to the ground. "Your friend," she said, the word coming out in pure jealousy.

I arched my back and moaned again, feeling the pressure rise between my legs.

Lexi lightly grazed her fingers against my breasts and pinched my nipples. I parted my lips, eyes wide. She pressed her mouth harder against my core, her fingers brushing against my opening.

All I wanted was for her to thrust one into me.

"Tell me that she was just your friend," Lexi said. "Tell me she wasn't your lover."

My heart pounded in my chest. "She's just my friend, Lexi." My breathing hitched. "That's all." I squirmed under her, the pressure almost too much to handle. "Please."

When she pushed her fingers into me, I screamed out in pleasure. A single leg-shaking, ear-splitting orgasm ripped through my entire body. My moans echoed through the forest for anyone around to hear, but I didn't care.

Her eyes raked down my body, and I relaxed against the forest floor, my pussy pulsing. She stuck her fingers into her mouth, sucking off all my juices.

"She'd better be," Lexi said, lying next to me and brushing her fingers against my chin to move my face closer to hers. She placed her lips on mine and said, "Because you're mine."

My lips parted in delight. "Yours."

"And this ..." She grabbed my hand and placed it on her pussy. "This is yours."

I clenched and swallowed hard, rubbing her gently. She closed her eyes and moaned. I slipped my fingers into her, the heel of my hand rubbing against her clit as my fingers thrust into her.

She reached over, playing with my nipples, her tight pussy clenching on my fingers. I moaned into our kiss, a wave of pleasure shooting through me. She held her legs apart wide, letting them tremble lightly.

She nodded and mumbled against me, "Just like that, Elia ..." Her brows furrowed. "Oh my Goddess, you're going to make me come. Faster."

As I thrust into her faster, she tightened around me. Each thrust, my heel hit her clit. She became deathly silent, every muscle in her body tensing, and then she moaned out loud, her entire body trembling with pleasure. She rode out her orgasm and pressed her lips back to mine.

Before I knew it, she had rolled back on top of me, her face against the crook of my neck, her canines pricking at my flesh. "Mine," she growled into my ear before sinking her canines into my skin and claiming me as hers.
