Chapter 3

Tyler's Point Of View

Lena struts out, and Emma sits with a tired sigh. I resist the urge to bend her over and slam into her. "Virgin," my wolf whispers, and I really look at her. "Emma, I sit in front of her. Are you a virgin?" She sighs. I almost curse myself for asking because of her facial expression.

"So what if I am? She glares at me. Is that an issue for you? I mean, with your body count, I wouldn't judge me if I were you." I stare at her.

"I don't care if you never fucked anyone." "Emma," I sigh, "I was asking an honest question." "Are you?" she sighs.

"Yes, I am. Well, fuck me. I rub my face. My wolf is thrilled over this and says she will feel incredible on our cock.

"That isn't an issue, Emma, but you bringing up my body count is childish behavior. We need to decide if we give us a go or just reject each other." I watch her deflate as the word "reject" leaves my mouth.

"Just do it, Tyler. She looks ready to cry again. I want to go home. Gram needs her meds, and I need to check on Bobby, my brother; he is still little. I move to squat in front of her, making her look into my eyes.

"I'm not rejecting you, Emma. Her eyes find mine, and I'm stuck staring at her. I can't reject her because Savage threatened to leave me. I touch her lips with my thumb and almost cum as tingles race up my arm. I lean forward and kiss her, and fuck me, I almost lose it.

"Oh my," she says as she blushes when I move back. Her mouth is addictive.

"You smell like vanilla and chocolate," I almost moan. I love those scents together.

"You smell spicy and sweet," she says, sitting back. I stand, but before I can say anything, the door bursts open, and the strippers rush in. Most look worried. I will yell they aren't making my strip club money.

"The club is closed for tonight, ladies. I say, and a few look mad, "I will pay for your loss of pay and tips. Go home and chill with your families." Many thank me and dress fast. Lena stands, arms crossed, glaring at Emma.

"Seems you found a new toy, Ty; she moves around the room, grabbing her stuff. It seems we girls aren't valuable anymore. So tell us, what does the cherry pie here have that we don't?" I growl, and all the girls go quiet, but most rush to gather their shit. I bet they want to be out of the way when I flip out on Lena.

"For one, she isn't a whore like you Lena and the most important reason is that she is my mate. I already told you this." You must be dense." You could probably hear a pin drop as the girls gasped and silence filled the room.

"There's no damn way the moon goddess would pair her and you up; you're complete opposites, Ty." I glare, and she flinches.

"Well Lena she did and this little beauty is my other half, so my cock is closed to other she-wolves. Do I need to use crayon to write it out for you?" Lena's face goes red, and a vein bulges in her forehead. Fuck, what did I ever see in her fake ass?

"It seems a little suspicious that you've been gone two months and Cherry Pie shows up and Jack hires her fast. Then you come back, and boom, mates. I think this bitch hired a witch to get you as hers," Emma sighs loudly.

"I don't know any witches personally Lena and I don't go around being open like a seven-eleven like you… I hope to goddess you're tested regularly because you may catch something Ajax won't clean off." Emma covers her mouth in shock after she says it. Lena lunged, but Jack cut her off, and she bounced off his hard body.

"The luna is off limits to everyone. You attack her, we kill you. Now Lena, get to walking before I just end you. Any others want to try me?" He looks livid. I have never seen the girls haul ass faster than this moment.

"Jack, I hear Emma move towards him. I'm okay, and I really appreciate you defending me. "Calm down, please." He takes a deep breath and releases it slowly.

"Sorry, honey, she just disgusts me and always wants to claim Tyler's dick. She acts like she owns him." Emma hugs him, and I stand with my mouth open in shock watching.

"Grab your stuff, Ejmma," I say, turning my back on my mate and hugging my best friend and beta. "We can talk in my car. I would like us to talk more." I move to the door, barely able to act calmly. I trust Jack, I do, but she is my mate; I should get her hugs first.

"Ready," she says behind me. "Here is your shirt back." I don't take it; I just grab her bag and walk out the door. Jack follows and locks up.

"Tell everybody we got a club and pack meeting tomorrow, Jack. Pull surveillance and send me the videos, please. The meeting is tomorrow at seven." I hold open the door, and Emma gets in. I drive off when her little hand touches my hand.

"Why are you mad? I sigh.

"You hug Jack like your lovers." She looks at me like I slapped her, and Savage growls at me. "Good going, big mouth," he hisses at me.

"He acts like a brother to me, Tyler." She removes her hand, and I stop the car. "He makes me feel like I'm not alone and scared like I was." I put my car in park.

"How do I make you feel?" I watch her fidget before her eyes look into mine.

"You make me feel nervous," I grin, "and tingly. My body loves you being close to us." I caress her cheek, and she sighs, leaning into my hand.

"So tell me about Gram and Bobby." I changed the subject so she relaxed. I put my car back into the drive and head to get us burgers and fries.

"Gram got sick a few years ago, so I quit college to care for her. Bobby is my little brother. I found him on my doorstep with a letter from my parents. They chose drugs over him. So I'm raising him now. Can we get them food as well?" She tries to pay me, but I nod no.

"My treat, Emma. I order a ton of food and swipe my card to pay. Give me directions to your house," I order, and she sighs.

"It isn't in a safe area, Tyler, but it is all I can afford right now." I take her hand to hold as I continue to drive us to her house. We pull up to an area I wouldn't live in, and I grit my teeth as catcalls come her way. She ignores it and helps with the bags of food.

"You're home early, baby girl," an idiot says, looking her over. He licks his lips, and I growl in warning. His eyes take me in, and he backs off. We head to the door, and I mind-link Jack for houses available close to mine. I need her safe.

"Don't mind the mess, Tyler; I work a lot. She opens to a clean house, but medical supplies are everywhere. An old lady waves from the couch.

"Your home," she smiles but starts coughing, and Emma runs to help her. "I'm okay, sweetheart. I will be fine." Emma sighs out a shaky breath, and it does something to my heart.

"Jack, I mind-linked. Get a U-Haul over here; they are moving now." His chuckle makes me roll my eyes.

Fuck this nasty neighborhood.
