Lucinda POV

She yawned as her eyes opened, stretched her arms up above her head and arched her back up, to stretch out her body and get ready to wake up. She felt very relaxed. Rolled over to get out of her bed and came face to face with Alpha Nicholas. His dark blue eyes were watching her, there was a glimmer of amusement in them. "Good morning, my dear." his voice was a deep sexy low rumble and sent a shiver racing through her entire body.

She hadn't realised, completely forgotten for the moment, about what had happened yesterday, the events that had led her to be here, clearly in his pack, in his bed. She had woken up like every other morning, thinking she was in her bed. Had stretched herself out as she would normally do in her own bed, not realising that he was lying right there, watching her.

It was only now that she was fully awake did she even notice that his arm was actually around her waist and she had rolled right over and into him, into his chest. Her body now pressing right up against his. Stupid Mate Bond, she knew from previous experience with a Mate Bond that her body had simply reacted to her Mate being next to her, almost like it had a mind of its own.

Instinctively rolled towards him, to feel closer to him, it wouldn't be so embarrassing if the man wasn't laying there awake and staring right at her. If he had still been asleep, she could have inched herself away from him and pretended, it had never happened. Now how was going to get out of his arms, if she rolled over away from him, he might just pull her right back up against her, her back to his front. Though right this minute surely that was better than her front to his front.

He was smiling at her, she hadn't said a thing to him, stunned into silence. Pulling her arms to her chest to ready herself to pull away, he seemed to know she was about to pull away, his arm suddenly tightened around her to hold her in place up against him. Clearly he was happy, about the position she had unwittingly put herself in.

The amusement in his eyes grew, he knew she was in a pickle of her own making. She would have to actively touch him to push him away. Her eyes moved from his very amused look to his bare chest. He had a massive chest, goddess he was twice her size. The right side of his chest was covered in a tribal style tattoo, looked to be a wolf's head on his chest, and it went up and over his shoulder, probably continued down his back. Likely a symbol of his wolf.

Goddess was this man holding her against his body, naked? She bit her lip, she could feel she was still wearing clothing, the same ones from yesterday it seemed, that was something. But was he? She wasn't about lift the sheets and go looking at his lower half to find out, he might take that the wrong way, and she was not about to go and ask either.

Her heart rate had increased and she could smell his scent strong around her, bloody Mate Bond was making her body react to his.

"I'll let go, if you say good morning to me." he chuckled softly. He was teasing her and she knew, found her situation very amusing to him and also favourable she imagined.

Lucinda had no idea if this was a good morning or not, bit the bullet so to speak and put both her hand on his chest to push herself away from him. Instantly felt those wonderful tingles pass through her hands at the contact of her skin to his. She knew it was their bond taking effect and would get stronger, so strong eventually she would be aroused by just touching him and he her for that matter. She pushed hard on his chest to try and shove him away.

He laughed softly at her attempt, he was much stronger than she was. Then he rolled onto his back and took her with him. She was now laying directly on top of him. He was fully amused, as she was more that a little horrified by the way her legs had tried to wrap around him, to make sure she didn't fall off of him. She should of known he was going to do something like this, damned man.

"Let me go." she gasped down at him, needing to get off of him, her legs were bare and the tingling from skin on skin contact was shooting all over her body now.

To her complete surprise he actually did let her go right away. She climbed off of him as quickly as was possible, only to cop a some what, firm whack on her backside as she did so.

Her eyes shot to his, as she watched him roll on to his side to watch her, he was thoroughly enjoying this little game and she knew it.

"Where are my things?" she asked.

"Right there my dear." he nodded to a place just behind her, then went to get out of the bed himself.

Lucinda froze "Wait!" she shot her hands out in front of her to stop him. She had no idea if he was completely naked or not.

His mouth curved into that bloody perfect smile of his, it even reached his eyes, oh yes he was very happy right this minute, loved her predicament. He was using that smile, he thought could make her melt, like it probably had a hundred before her. "Afraid I'm naked." he teased her and then tossed the duvet back uncaring. He was actually wearing pyjama pants, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that's not nice! he murmured, but didn't seem offended at all "you should want to see me naked...I'm happy to strip for you."

"No thank you." she shot back hurriedly as she watched his hands move to the waist band of his pyjama bottoms, black silk she thought.

"Pity you might like what you see." he chuckled and then slid a hand up his abdomen, her eyes followed the movement, she couldn't help it, he was her mate and nearly naked, not to mention only a metre away. Watched him stretch and all those muscles of his ripple as he did so.

He started chuckled again and she realised he was watching her "You sure now?"

Lucinda's eyes met his, they were still full of amusement, she turned around and walked further away from him, some distance was needed, over to her suite cases.

"You can put them, in the walk in on your right, my dear."

"I have a name you know." she shot at him over her shoulder.

"Hmm, Lucinda." his voice was suddenly low and husky and it sent a shiver of pleasure up her spine, he was already trying to seduce her. Not even a day in this pack and he was turning on the charm. "I like your name. Rolls of my tongue...nicely... Lets get dressed and go down for breakfast shall we."

Lucinda closed her eyes for a moment, she wanted to have a shower, but could she trust the half naked man standing behind her, clearly with lustful designs on her to stay out here. She found a pair of jeans and a long sleeve tee-shirt, stood and found him still watching her.

"You going to stare at me all day!"

"Maybe." he winked at her playfully.

"Great!" she muttered, looked around her, there had to be a bathroom here somewhere.

"That door there, the en-suite." he nodded to it. "I'll leave you to shower and dress. Meet you in our living area, through that door over there." he indicated a door on the other side of the room. Then strolled casually passed her and towards the walk in robe, presumably to find clothes to put on himself.

Her eyes moved to follow him, that tattoo did roll all the way over shoulder and down his back, the rest of the wolf she noted. It was really nice. She liked it. Lucinda shook her head 'stop staring at him' she chastised herself and moved off into the bathroom. The door it seemed had no lock. Just great he could come in anytime he liked.

The damned Mate Bond was already working on her, she knew how it worked and how quickly it could draw her to him, her last Mate had pulled her into his bed in a matter of hours and it had been her first time with anyone.

This would not be her first time, and her body already knew what to do and wanted it, so it seemed. Nicholas was a much bigger man the Matthew had been, that scared her just a little bit, she knew Alpha's were large and she had a feeling he was going, to be more than she could handle, knew Alpha wolfs could be vigorous and insatiable at times, there s****l needs and desires stronger than an average wolf.

She shook her head and pushed the thoughts from her mind, turned her attention to the bathroom. It was massive, there was a huge walk in shower with two large rain fall shower heads, and hand held high pressured rainfall over head set tops. A massive spa bath with an array of bath salts lined up along a small shelf in the wall.

The wall tiles were all black and the floor tiles black and white, the vanity was white with a black top and there was a large mirror above the single sink. He had plenty of men's products lined up she noted, shaving cream, aftershave, hair gel, deodorants, 4 different types, tooth paste dental floss, mouth wash, electric tooth brush, several hair combs and a bristled brush, an electric razor, and a whole moisturiser collection for men's skin. Obviously took pride in his appearance.

She turned the shower on and stripped off, hoping he would stay out there. Pushed all thoughts of him from her mind and actually stood and enjoyed the feel of the shower on her skin, she did like the high pressure of the shower heads. She was getting dressed when she finally felt Ky'ra waken and stretch out inside her mind.

'Where have you been?'

'Sleeping, what smells so good!

'Our mate I'm guessing to you. I woke up in his bed Ky'ra.

'Did he mark us... she seemed to be sensing if he had or not 'no. she huffed, apparently a little annoyed by that fact.

Lucinda sighed at her wolf and shook her head 'Is that really your first thought?'

She felt Ky'ra shake herself out and sit back down 'Where is out mate?'

'Waiting out there for us, I presume.' she told Ky'ra looking at the closed door. At least he had stayed out of the room.

She brushed her teeth and hair. Pulled it up into a ponytail and then pulled a loose loop to keep it from getting in the way, though she liked having her long hair sometimes it did bother her, often wondered if she should cut it off, but had never actually done it. She stood leaning on the bathroom sink, just staring at the closed bathroom door for a full minute, before walking over to it and opening it. He was not in the bedroom, she glanced around the room, for the real first time taking it in. That bed was absolutely huge 'More room for fun' Ky'ra piped up.

'More likely he's so tall he had to have it custom made to fit him.'

Ky'ra chortled at her, she like her thought better.

'I wonder how many she-wolves he's had in that bed?' Lucinda shot at Ky'ra, who huffed instantly, now annoyed by the size of the bed and the thought of others he'd had in it.

'Come on Ky'ra look at him...he certainly didn't sit around, and wait for us now did he.'

Ky'ra said nothing just turned away and wandered to the back of her mind, then a minute later murmured 'My mate waited for me. We mate for life!

'Agreed.' Lucinda knew it was unlikely that Nick's wolf would have mated any other wolfs. They were loyal and wanted their mates more than the human counterparts. 'Mine would not have.' Lucinda knew it. Couldn't really expect an Alpha male, of his age to still be sitting around waiting on his fated mate. Nope he'd have needs, stronger then that of a regular wolf and he'd have had women in that bed already, a lot in all likelihood, and she didn't like the thought of it honestly.

There was bare minimum furniture in this room, and the room had black hardwood floors and black curtains. The duvet on the bed was also black, the chair by the widow also black, she was picking up a theme here. It was too dark for her liking. There was a large royal blue rug on the floor plain and simple nil pattern and blue cushions on that chair. Pack colours she wondered. There was a large mirror between the bathroom and the walk in robe.

Lucinda checked her appearance, neat and tidy and all available skin was covered, there would be no needless touching skin on skin today, not after this mornings escapades with him.

She found him exactly where he said he would be in the living area of the suite, he was casually sitting all relaxed back on the three-seated sofa, playing a game on his phone. The lounge was high off the ground obviously made for him and deep, he was seated comfortably in it without issue.

There was a glass coffee table and matching side table next to the sofa, a large TV on the wall opposite the sofa and a massive fireplace not currently lit, but there was a stack of cut wood and kindling in a curved wrought iron bucket and a fireplace surround also wrought iron standing there.

On the mantle she saw family photos, wandered over to look at them, curious about who he would display in his suite.

Her hand slid along the mantle as a wave of sadness washed over her, she didn't have any family photo's to look back on. All destroyed and burned away. Only of the twins.

"My mother," he interrupted her thoughts

"Very young." Lucinda commented, she could see in the photo she was looking at, was a picture of her holding him. Had to be Nicholas, those eyes and hair could not be mistaken for anyone else.

Her eyes moved along the mantle there were several of his mother, but all when she was young, none from now.

"Died when I was four." he seemed to know what her unspoken question was.

"Oh, I'm sorry." and she was, no one should have to live without their mother growing up.

"Me too...I heard both your parents died."

"Yes, when I was 18." she nodded and touched her chest at the sudden ache the memory of them caused.

"You can put up any photo's of them you like, on that mantle."

"I don't have any." she answered softly.

"What? None!" he sounded a bit shocked.

"None." Lucinda nodded and sighed, rubbed at the growing ache in her chest to try and ease it away, it was something she always felt when thinking about her family.

"Why not? What happened to them?" she heard him, hadn't heard him move off the sofa, or come across the room, but he was standing right behind her now.

"House fire, they all burned." she stated. It was the truth and she didn't even have to elaborate. "I'm hungry, I didn't get dinner last night." she shot at him changing the subject.

"That was not my fault, and I let Alpha Corey know I was displeased about the wolfs-bane Lucinda. I would never use that on you...come on I'll show you the pack's dining room. Lots of wolves come for meals here. I don't mind it." "Normal for a pack." she shrugged "Whose the girl?" she asked noting there was a photo of him and a she-wolf also on the mantle. She too had black hair and those dark blue eyes.

"My sister Mary." he answered simply and held the door to the suite open for her.
