CHAPTER 8

WHITAKER

I frown slightly and consider whether he’s right. The more I think about it, the more I realize that he is right. I’ve also been purposefully obtuse in other aspects. I haven’t admitted to her that I waited for her and didn’t stop the flirtatious looks from she-wolves even though they made my skin crawl.

Just as we’re finishing up, Tilly pushing her plate away slightly and sitting back in her chair with her blue eyes watching me intently, Cassidy comes to a stop next to the table. I almost snarl at her, pack member or not, but bite back the sound.

“Alpha Whitaker,” Cassidy’s drawls in a way that I’m sure she thinks sounds sensual. Didn’t she learn from our last interaction? “I thought I’d have seen you at breakfast earlier since you slipped away so early this morning,” she pouts slightly.

I narrow my eyes and Tilly pales slightly. Fucking hell. How the hell did Cassidy manage to imply we were together last night or this morning while not really saying much of anything?

Talk about a fucking skill.

“Cassidy,” there’s a warning in her name which I growl fiercely. “Don’t,” I command. The she-wolf hunches in on herself, but it doesn’t give me an ounce of satisfaction.

I stand up and offer my hand to Tilly, hoping she’ll take it even though I have no reason or right to hope for such a thing. Not right this moment anyway. The tingles that race up my arm when she slips her hand into mine is like a jolt to my system. A damn good jolt.

Cassidy has the wherewithal to look ashamed, but there’s something like satisfaction and victory in her eyes that I don’t like. “I thought we had an understanding after the last time we spoke,” I level her with a pointed stare which has the interloping she-wolf paling. “I don’t appreciate, nor will I tolerate, inferences made about me on a personal level. Especially when they’re bullshit.”

Cassidy lets out a small whimper before scurrying away. When I look at Tilly, I find her watching Cassidy’s retreating back with a small frown on her lips and her eyebrows pulled together like she’s concentrating.

Fuck. Time to right at least one wrong.

I lean toward my mate until my lips are almost brushing against the sensitive skin of her earlobe, “I’ve never touched a she-wolf, not one in this pack, not one ever. I’ve been waiting for my mate, for you.”

Tilly jerks so hard that she almost trips over her feet, but I steady her.

Her voice is barely audible as she asks, “What?”

I smirk down at my mate before leading her out of the kitchen and toward the stairs that will take us to the floor where my, our, Alpha suite is. I should probably put her in the guest room in the suite, but I don’t think I’ll survive it if I do.

Since Tilly is busy gawking at me, she doesn’t notice that I’ve led her upstairs, into my suite, and right into the bedroom that we’ll be sharing.
