My Mate Is An Omega – Chapter 22

Back then, my father still didn’t fully trust her; Diamond Tempest only had a hundred members at the time, and he wanted to make sure they were all safe. However, she was quite convincing, promising to help him in any way she could as long as she was offered shelter. Aware of how useful a witch could be to a werewolf pack, he decided to give her a chance to prove her re

He lifted his hand up to his wild light brown hair back – only now it was darker, drenched in sweat. My eyes finally stopped on his face, which was slightly flushed due to the physical effort his job required. The mischievous smile he flashed me evinced he was already aware of the dirty thoughts that crossed my mind.

About halfway through the movie, I noticed a small light from the corner of my eye and realized my mate was looking at the screen of his phone.
