Chapter Eight

Fallon

I toss and turn in the giant king bed as the moon rises outside my window. Its silver glow falls across my pillow as I turn over for the hundredth time, trying and failing to get comfortable.

It’s not the bed that’s the problem. Eli’s words are still ringing in my ears.

That’s not a life. That’s a sentence.

What does he know? He’s a wolf without a pack, which is as unhealthy as it is unusual. I suppose he’s used to being alone.

So am I, if I’m being honest, but that doesn’t mean I like it. All I’ve ever wanted was a family of my own and a mate who loved me for who I am — not what I can give him.

I want a mate who won’t tell me to be quiet.

Settle down.

Yield.

Give in.

Drop my gaze.

Be polite.

Make myself small so the males around me can feel big.

No. I want a mate who will challenge me, fight me, fuck me, and love me as fiercely as I love him.

I want someone who knows how to push my buttons, as messed up as that sounds.

I want . . . Eli.

What the fuck?

I shut the thought down as soon as it pops into my head. I have no idea where that even came from.

Eli’s not at all my type. He’s too tightly wound, for one thing. He’d never survive Christmas with my family. He’s overprotective, stubborn, and kind of a dick. Not to mention that the two of us want drastically different things.

I want a family. He wants . . . Well, I don’t know what he wants, but it certainly isn’t me.

Besides, beggars can’t be choosers. If I wait too much longer to mate, people will begin to suspect that I’m somehow defective. And if anyone discovers that I haven’t gone into heat, no one is going to want me.

I could settle for someone who’s kind and good, I tell myself. At least then there’d be a chance for love to grow.

It wouldn’t be . . . Well, it wouldn’t be what I felt when Eli had me pinned to the forest floor. That’s for sure. But it also probably wouldn’t be as infuriating as life with Eli is, either.

I growl to myself as I turn over again, the fabric of my thin sleep shorts rubbing against my sensitive folds. I readjust the fabric so it’s not bunched between my legs, but as I tug the seam away from my center, the friction nearly sends me over the edge.

The bundle of nerves between my thighs is throbbing with need, and even the thin cotton is too much. I shimmy out of my shorts and panties, but the cool air on that little pink bud is enough to drive me crazy.

Squeezing my thighs together, I try to find a more comfortable position. I fidget under the covers, which drag against my breasts, causing my nipples to pebble up beneath my thin cotton camisole.

Annoyed, I sit up in bed and rip the thing off. Goosebumps erupt all over my skin, and the cold air makes my nipples painfully hard.
