Chapter 3 

My head pounded as I groggily woke up to the sound of clicking, fragmented memories from last night return, the way his hands touched and caressed my skin, his lips everywhere, tasting and devouring me. 

Heat rushed to my face, and I rolled over on the hotel bed, praying I didn‘t just screw my father‘s enemy, yet I did by the throbbing ache between my thighs. I stared up at the ceiling. My mouth felt dry as the events of the night before came back to me. Instantly, I regretted the stupid decision and poor choice | made. 

Click. Click. Click 

That noise again. Rolling over, I find my mate standing in nothing but his boxer shorts. My eyes trail down his abs to the deep V-line before looking up at him. My wolf stirs, waking inside me, and she nudges forward with me, eye fucking our mate. 

Axton smirks, and I knew he could sense her just as I could feel his wolf coming forward last night. He walks over to the bed, stopping at the edge with his phone in his hand, and I eye it suspiciously. Did he just take photos of me naked? 

“What are you doing?” | groaned while sitting up before falling back down as it made my headache 10x worse. Every part of me hurts, especially between my legs. With effort, I force myself to sit up, and I look around, vigilant. 

“What‘s your wolf‘s name?” He asks, and she perks up at his interest in wanting to know. I growl at him. 

“None of your business,” he bristles at my tone as I look around, finding my clothes scattered on the floor when another thought occurs. 

“Did you use protection?” I ask, glancing over at him. 

“No, you said you were on the pill,” he shrugs, uncaring as I try to recall that memory but find I can‘t. 

“You better not have given me some disease,” I snapped at him, furious at him and myself for being so careless. 

“Woah, chill out. I‘m clean,” the Alpha says, falling onto the edge of the bed with his phone in his hand. He crawls up the bed toward the headboard. He tugs me toward him, making me shriek when I crash against this hard chest. His phone is taking : a photo of us together while I push off his chest. 

“What are you doing? Give me that,” I snarled, reaching for his phone. He pulls it away from me and raises an eyebrow at me. 

“Delete it and the others I heard you taking,” I demand. Axton 

growls at me, but I growl back, straddling his waist to snatch the phone from his hand as he tries to hold it out of my reach. I jab the screen with my finger, only to find he had locked it. 

“Tell me the password, now, Axton!” I panic. If that photo got out, my father would murder me. 

“It‘s a bit early in the relationship to be checking my phone, don‘t you think? Doesn‘t the whole psycho girlfriend thing start after at least a few months in?” he laughs. I don‘t. 

I repeat. Axton sighs and holds up his index finger, and I stare at him for a few seconds before looking at the back

with a smirk on his face. I scroll through his camera roll, deleting them, and growl when I find he was taking photos of me while I slept naked.
