The Strong Bond novel Chapter 45

"Yeah, it's not too bad here. They have been so kind to me, letting me have my own cot in the basement. On Wednesdays I'm allowed outside for an hour to let my wolf run. Oh, and the best part is. If I do all my daily duties of slave work, they give me the left over scrapes from dinner" She says being serious. Ashton snaps his head from her Uncle over to her in disbelief at what she was saying. "I'm mean what more can a girl ask for out of life" she sighs dreamily.

"Blair!" Ashton squeaks loudly before he instantly turn his attention back to her uncle to correct her lies. But quickly clamped his mouth closed when he showed the amused look on her uncles face.

"Well, I'm glad my niece hasn't changed her sense of humor" He chuckles. Ashton turns back to his food in a sigh of relief that his mate's family got her twisted humor.

"Lena, I will not repeat myself again" Jared directed his attention back to his daughter.

"This is so unfair father" Lena groans pushing out of the set, but he didn't respond as he waiting for her. Before doing as she was order she walks over to her cousin giving her a hug, and letting her know she would call her later.

"Bye" she mumbles to Ashton, and he does the same.

Few more minutes passed by as the tension between the two packs grew thickly. Damian's tense muscles loosen a little as Lena's scent came into his senses. Even though her scent made his mouth water, he wasn't taking his eyes off the wolf who wanted his mate. That was till a new scent was in the air. His head snapped over to his mate, making direct eye contact with her. That look in his eyes set fire to Lena's insides making her suck in air. Her breathing deepen making her beautiful round breast move up, and down. To most people that wouldn't catch their attention, but it made Damian eyes roam down. The scent seem to thicken, and that brought his wolf alive immediately. But something also clicked in his head, that had his wolf really going. There were unmated males in that room that could easily lose control over the aroma of her arousal. This was also a reminder that she wasn't marked, so to other unmated wolves she was in the market. The protectiveness overwhelmed him, and in a instant his eyes started to glow.

Lena knew she had to get herself in check, because she was affecting Damien. She didn't want to make a scene quickly removing her eyes from him. Only to see a few other heated eyes on her as well. The lustful look on his face was replaced by a confused one. A little uncomfortable laugh escaped her lips as she took a step back. 'This isn't good' she thought to herself. She was right, it really wasn't good. A set of hands appeared on each side of her "Don't move to quickly, because that will only encourage them" Ashton whispers in her ear before pulling her back making her Yelp in surprise. Ashton was now standing guard in front of her, and she wondered if Damian mind linked him. She watched nervously wondering what was going on, and why there's were so many guys looking at her like she was a delicious meal. Soon another arm slipped into hers "Come with me slowly" Blair's soft voice whispers.
