Chapter 3 Company

A few of his pack members nodded at Drew as he passed. Despite greeting them, he continued to move. Nora stayed by his side, bowing her head. She was just following him; she wasn't pretending to be submissive. Observing her, he saw that she always kept her head down when she walked from one spot to another. Seldom did Nora look up to observe her surroundings. She had not had an easy life. He had witnessed the proof in both her behavior and her eyes. She had previously experienced pain. He was curious to find out what she was keeping from him and all of her secrets. The truth was not kept from one another by mates. He sensed her wolf stiffen around him, yet she answered him like a mate would. He was certain that whatever had transpired had left the woman and her dog traumatized. He had to get her to come out. Drew let go of her hand, flipped on the light, and shut the last door at the end of the hallway. He looked at her to gauge her response. This was his personal space. This was the sole room he used for the woman he wanted to keep. Before this woman asked for permission to join the club, only a few women had ever approached the idea of entering.

She inquired, "Where are we?" She turned to face him, keeping the bed to her back and avoiding contact with it. "This is my private, personal space. We'll be here if you visit this club from now on. He waited for her while folding his arms. "No, we must be visible to others." You hold yourself back while you're around other people. You're not yourself while you're out, and you're constantly worried that someone will notice you. I have witnessed your behavior. You want to see what goes on in the club to ensure that the men and women are treating their subordinates fairly, but you desire the independence of being alone when it comes to you. "No, you're not correct." "After you take off your clothes, we're going to go out and make a scene right now. After punishing you for not recognizing authority, I'll take you out so everyone can admire the beauty of your orgasm. She pulled away from him. She began to gaze around the room as her body tensed. For an opportunity to get away? Her inner wolf began hammering away at her inner cage. His urge for protection came roaring to life. Her responses were simultaneously triggering the protector and the Dom. "Get down on your knees and come to me." His voice grew deeper, and Nora dropped on her knees, bending her head and spreading her legs wide, putting her body in the obedient position he so admired. "You can rest, your wolf. I wouldn't let you go so people could view your stunning body. He extended his hand to touch a lock of her hair. Her long, dark brown hair was gorgeous. He brushed his fingers through the strands, watching them. "Nora, things between us are going to change." She gave him a look. Her lips quivered as she glanced back at him, tears sparkling in her eyes. "I've watched you dance around me like you were in charge for the past year. I am your mate, your master, and the Dom. She moved to argue with him, but he put a finger to her lips. "Stop arguing. I've complied with your regulations and you've kept me at bay. I understand that shit happened to you, but you will no longer have to cope with it. You will allow me to enter this place. From her mouth to her head, he applied pressure with the finger. "I'm not going away or giving up. We have this in common. It took him a few minutes to wait. "You can talk." "We didn't agree on this. You assured me that I could end this whenever I wanted to and that I could take my time getting acclimated to you when I first saw you. "I accepted those conditions before realizing how harmed you were by this way of living. Nora, you have issues. I can guide you through them, but you must have faith in me. "When you're acting in this way, how can I trust you?" Between them, she waved her hand. Was she aware of how stunning she appeared as she was kneeling in front of him? He wasn't sure. Nora had no idea how much influence she had over him. "When I knew you wouldn't accept our mating, I didn't go to your father." It would have delighted any parent, particularly an Alpha, to see his daughter mate with another Alpha. Drew had been determined to see her father. After pleading with him not to, she vowed to refute his claim. There was a greater chance of his going savage if she rejected his claim. He retreated and made the decision to show her that he was trustworthy. "I issued a directive to you. That isn't trust. He rubbed his finger along her lip and cradled her cheek. It was better that she didn't tighten up or jerk away. She resisted him at every opportunity and avoided any form of closeness while they were first dating. In the past year, I've given you more than you've ever received from anyone else. Nora, I can see the expression in your eyes. The joy is evident in your eyes and the way you let me hold you, even though you don't let me give you an orgasm. You can accuse me of many things, but taking care of your needs and showing concern is not one of them. He pulled his hand away. "You've endured a lot of shit. I'm curious as to what it is. "I'm not telling you anything," I said. "Are you feeling your wolf at the moment? How is she pacing your mental walls, inquisitive yet restraining herself? "How did you-" She wants to have faith in me and in her instincts. You've endangered yourself, and until you tell me what, we won't go anywhere else. Knowing that he had to win this battle, he gazed at her. "You're accompanying me home tonight. We will investigate the root of your issues. At my house, nobody lies. We can discuss your problems since we will be completely alone. "No, I won't accompany you anywhere."
