" We are mates."

" I heard you the first time."

"Then why didn't you say something?"

"I'm trying to figure out what I did to offend the lunar goddess so much that I got you for a mate."

"Fuck you." he snarled and grabbed my wrist and threw me onto the floor with a thud.

"Well you're my mate & you don't have a choice in that matter" he growled his eyes going black, his wolf having more control then his human side. He slowly crouched down and got close enough to sniff me. My scent would no doubt help him calm down a bit. Once his eyes went back to the hazel they were I shoved him away from me. I didn't want him close to me.

"I'm sorry a perfect wolf such as yourself is mated to me."

Before I even thought out my actions I punched him straight in the jaw. It didn't take him more then give seconds and he slammed his body against mine. Pain flooded to the back of my head were it smacked the ground with a heavy thunk. He used my painful distraction to pin my arms above my head and he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine carefully, almost as if he was afraid I would bite his lips off.

"Go shower you smell like a stray mutt." he said breathlessly

I wanted to snarl at him, but even I could smell myself. He showed me where the bathroom was and left me to my own devices. There was both a tub and a shower stall. I chose the tub and let the water run. I took some of the body wash and used it to make bubbles in the bath, because why not. I peeled the clothing off and slowly walked to the shower stall and quickly scrubbing myself off so that I didn't change the bathwater gross nasty colors, Once I got out of the shower I crawled into the warm tub and played with the bubbles for a few moments before relaxing. I closed my eyes.

I woke up to hands massaging my scalp softly, then warm water poured over my head and down my back. By scent alone told me it was Pierce. Once he was done washing my hair he gently shook me.

"Don't sleep in the tub you could drown."

"Mhmm."

I stood up nearly falling back into the tub had Pierce not caught me. He didn't let go of my arm until I was out of the tub and cleared my throat. he took that time to take a good look at my body, his eyes ventured down and he scanned my pelvic area and slowly walked around me. He slapped my ass lightly almost playfully and I growled at him lowly, not interested in playing with him.

"Don't touch me."

"You are my mate, I'll touch you if I damn well feel like it."

"Touch me again & I'll break your fingers and perhaps your wrist."

He only chuckled walking out of the bathroom. He came back a few moments later with a change of clothing. This change of clothing was bed clothing. I wonder want time is was if I needed bed clothing now.

I pulled on the boxers, t-shirt and flannel bottoms. Pierce took my hand and pulled me to another room off of the area that mimiced a sitting room, in the room was a larger then King sized bed. It was a poster bed, the drapes that cascaded down to the floor were blood red in color and matched well with the black and red bed set on the bed.

"It's eleven at night, we should sleep now."

I walked towards the bed and sat on the end. It was soft and pillowy, I could totally sleep forever in this bed. If I was simply allowed of course. I laid out on the bed competely, the bed formed to my body and comforted me. This bed was fucking comfortable.

" I see you're enjoying the bed."

"Indeed I am."

"I'm glad, There are many things I plan to do in that bed with you."

I sat straight up and looked at him to see if he was joking but I couldn't see no humor on his face, he was serious.

Maybe we would do things in this bed in his fucking dreams.
