Would Charlotte be pissed if he punched a hole in her wall?
“She wouldn’t survive a challenge,” he admitted to himself. How would he keep her safe from the very animals she should be able to control? “Do any of you have a problem with Charlotte being by my side?” He may as well get their viewpoint before he restaked his prior claim. They were the strongest in his pack and the most loyal.#p#分页标题#e#
“I like Charlotte.” Cade responded first. I hope she can keep your temper down. You’ve been a fucker to live with these past few years.”
“I don’t have a problem. Be nice to have a woman who’s doesn’t have fucking issues besides the human kind.” This came from Jordan.
The other men nodded in agreement. A weight eased from his chest.
It would be far easier to stake his claim knowing other pack members didn’t mind Charlotte being high ranking. He hadn’t prepared anyone for Charlotte being his queen purely because he didn’t care what others thought. She was his mate, and that was final.
He was about to speak when his ultra-sensitive hearing caught onto Charlotte talking to someone.
Tuning in, he heard the voice of the woman he’d banished.
“Fuck me,” he growled. He threw open the door to her bedroom with such force it knocked it off its hinges. Charlotte wasn’t in sight, but he heard her clear through the door.
Careful with the next door, he used his strength to open it. He felt like a fool when he discovered the door wasn’t locked.
She sat on the toilet staring at him in horror.
“Give me the phone,” he ordered.
Charlotte cradled the phone closer to her tits.
His orders were being ignored.
“Give me the phone,” he demanded.
“No. I’m talking, please leave.” She put the phone to her ear, and he had to repress the need to snatch it away from her. Charlotte wasn’t one of his wolves, and he needed to remember that.
“Charlotte, give him the phone,” he heard Kim tell her.
“Kim?”
“Just do it, Charlotte. Don’t make this any worse than it already is.”
He watched Charlotte nod, and then she handed him the phone, staring down at the floor. Micah put the phone to his ear.
“Hello, Micah,” Kim said.
“Kim.”
“Look, I know I’ve broken the rules—”
“You’ve done far more than that. Why don’t you tell me what you told my mate?” he asked. Micah surprised himself by how calm he sounded.
He didn’t want to scare off his mate.
Micah listened as Kim told him as much as she knew about Charlotte. He got the sense Kim had been talking to Charlotte for a good while.
“Look, Micah. She got in touch with me. I love my sister even if I don’t show it all that much. She doesn’t understand anything about you or the pack. Mom and Dad kept her in the dark for a reason. I don’t think they wanted her to get involved. They intended for her to leave Rock Wood. Please, treat her right.”
“You’re in no position to be asking things of me,” he told her.
“Then I’m asking on behalf of your mate. I know more about the wolves and their customs than she does. If you push Charlotte too far, you will lose her.”
Micah disconnected the call and placed the device in his pocket.
Charlotte didn’t look at him, and a punch landed in his gut. He scented her tears. Fuck. He hated it when women cried.
Going down on his knees in front of her, he took her chin in his hands and tilted her head back.
A stream of moisture ran from each eye.
“Don’t cry, baby, please,” he begged.
“You’re scaring me,” she admitted.
Micah opened his mouth and then closed it. He didn’t have a clue what to say.
“I would never, ever, hurt you,” he said.
“Because I’m your mate?”

You’re so much more than my mate.
“Yes,” he answered in response.
“I don’t know anything. I don’t understand. I’ve only just remembered you.” He saw the confusion and the fear in her eyes.
Her lips trembled. Micah ran his thumb over her lips, plump and gorgeous. He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers. Charlotte gasped and Micah deepened the kiss, sliding his tongue inside her mouth. Tasting her. He moaned, and his fist sank into her hair, pulling the long strands.
Charlotte gasped beneath his touch, and he relished the sounds of her little pants. He cupped her face and took more from her. Micah forced her to submit to his will and desire.
Her small body shook under him, and he had to calm his wits before he went too far and frightened her away. Micah pulled away and ran his thumb over her now swollen red lips.
