her hip, hanging in a lazy manner. The other he kept right at her neck and started to play with her hair. “You don’t think you are?”
“Look, I’ve already heard about you. I know how you go through all the girls. So why don’t you just call this another wild night and let me go back to my Uncle’s.”
“Because this isn’t just another wild night. This is for life.”
She frowned, and he reached up, touching her face and brushing some of her hair back. “I know you don’t understand. You’ve not been raised with us, but you also need to have an open mind here Alesha. What happened out in the woods last night, yeah it would be nothing but a fling if it wasn’t for the fact that I locked inside of you.”
“And I don’t know what that means either,” she sighed.
“It means that I’ve found my mate. I’ve never locked inside anyone ever. So as I was your first, you happen to me mine also.”
A sharp knock on the door had her jumping in his arms.
With a sigh, Jonah let her go and rolled to the opposite side of the bed. He bent, picked up his pants and grinned when she dashed to the bathroom naked, closing the door. With pants in hand, he went to the door and cracked it open.
“Your father wishes to speak with you,” Jones, the butler said.
“I’ll be down,” Jonah said, closing the door.
Turning, he quickly got his pants back on, then went to the dresser and grabbed a fresh shirt. When he sat down and started to put his shoes on the bathroom door finally opened. “My father wants me downstairs.” He finished and looked up and grinned. She had wrapped herself in the one and only robe in the bathroom, his and he never used it really. “That looks good on you.”
“When do I get to go back?”
Standing up, Jonah closed the distance between them. He grabbed her chin and kissed her. “There is no going back. We go forward now.”
“I don’t belong here and you know it.”
Another kiss, this time a touch deeper before letting her chin and lips go. “You belong here. Lie back down. Not sure how long this is going to take. We’ll talk more when I come back.”
“If I stay here.”
Jonah raised one eyebrow up at her. “Challenging again?”
“Stating a fact. I might leave.”
“You do, I’ll just hunt that pretty ass of yours back down again and have you right back here where you belong.” Another quick kiss and he turned for the door.
Saying nothing else, Jonah left his room and closed the door behind him softly. He stayed put for a moment, taking it all in, what just happened in the past few hours. Hell, he never thought that his true mate would be the daughter of the one the five families banished for breeding with a human.
Shaking it all off, he walked away from his door, headed for the stairs and walked down. His father was waiting for him in the large library, standing in front of a window with drink in one hand. The other inside his suit pocket.
“Have you summoned me to rip me again?” Jonah asked, standing in the middle of the room.
“I got a call less than an hour ago,” Noah said, not turning around. “Trouble has landed in our village.”
“If this is a method of trying to get me to let her go for the name of the family, then—”
Noah held his hand up, “This has nothing to do with your half-breed. Rumors are spreading of an attack.” Noah slowly turned to face Jonah. Their eyes met and he took a drink from the glass in hand. “A human has been attacked, one that knows nothing of any of us.”
“What kind of an attack?”
“The kind that has me very concerned, as it does the others. She claims while walking to a friend’s house, she heard this strange low growl and it freaked her out so she ran. Apparently, a jaguar chased her down.”
Jonah felt his gut drop. “We don’t chase down humans.”
“Yes, well this is where it gets worse
