The Alpha’s Mate Who Cried Wolf

　　'Alec, it's time to drink. It will also help regain some strength anyway,' I say. Alec reaches his hand up and twirls his fingers through my hair, and tucks it behind my ear. I help him sit up. He cups my face and pulls me in for a passionate kiss. He has a look of hunger in his eyes, but not just for my blood. He reveals his fangs and playfully caresses the nape of my neck. An inner heat consumes me, and his teeth sink into my skin. Again, a minute passes, and he struggles to stop drinking.


　　He flies back against the wall, panting, 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry,' he says, unable to look me in the eyes. I pat the bed for him to come back. He sits back on the bed, and I climb onto his lap and wrap my legs around his waist.


　　'You better finish what you just started, Alec, or you will be in big trouble,' I flirt. He sees the fire in my eyes, matching his. Wasting no time, Alec immediately makes passionately love to me.
