Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha – Chapter 13
Damn that bastard! And damn the Moon for this damn bond! Dammit! None of this would be happening if fate hadn’t somehow decided this Alpha with violent tendencies and a short fuse, was supposed to be my mate. I wouldn’t be feeling so hot under the collar right about now. And images of writhing naked beneath his perfect and sculpted body, while he thrust again and again, wouldn’t be saturating my mind. I shivered.
Leander licked his lips like he planned to make a meal out of me when we were done chatting, and continued, “However, a Claiming Ceremony between an Alpha and his rightful Luna is different.”
My sweating increased. How much more graphic was he going to get? To my utter horror, the answer to that question was a shitload more. And he was so lovely and considerate to describe the events in first-person. Of course, he couldn’t recount the details as though speaking about any old Alpha and Luna. Oh, no, the Alpha who positively oozed sexuality in front of me, had to keep using words like you, me and we, which made it all the more salacious and obscene to my sensitive virgin mentality. I forced myself not to hyperventilate while he spoke.

And when no answer comes- because it never does-the process starts all over again on the next cycle. Raging guilt that causes her to claw the flesh off of her belly. Begging for my forgiveness because she somehow believes it’s her fault.”
