Under any other .

circumstances , I wouldnt care , but I dont want my mate to think less of me .

Okay , lets see what weve got , she says , walking back in and setting the clothes on the counter by the sink before stepping into the shower with me .

Id rather not have you tackle me in the shower breaking my bones on the way down .

I wont hurt you , I say .

If you pass out , you wont know , she says .

I open my eyes realizing that Im much closer to her in this position .

I wont hurt you , I say insistently .

She nods .

Hold on to me , she says again and I gently grab hold of her hips .

Since my hands are there , I begin running my thumbs over her hip bones .

Youre too thin , I say absently as she begins to scrub soap into my hair .

Why zoology ? I ask .

You can learn more about them in that class , but what I needed to learn was more on the veterinary side .

So , I decided to make it a minor to get the specific information I needed .

She pushes my head under the water and rinses the soap out before scrubbing more in .

This time , I can feel her nails gently scraping against my scalp .

I moan out loud , not caring if the entire pack hears me .

That feels fucking incredible , Yara .

She doesnt answer , and its quiet a moment .

Can I ask you a question ? she asks .

You can ask me anything .

Why havent you taken a mate ? she asks me .

I open my eyes , ignoring the burn of the soap so she can see the truth in my eyes .

I was waiting for you .

Ive only ever wanted my fated mate .

She looks at me , her eyebrow raising in disbelief .

Youre telling me that youve never had sex before , Alpha ? Im not buying it .

I didnt say Id never had sex .

Ive had sexual partners but thats all they were .

I said I never once considered taking anyone as my mate except you , my fated mate .

Why ? she asks , looking adorably confused .

My parents were fated mates .

As hard as my fathers life was , as filled with war as it had been , he always had my mother .

They loved each other in a way that chosen mates never can .

He adored her and she adored him .

She made the life he lived bearable , enjoyable .

I knew from a young age that I wanted that , that I needed that in my life .

No one else would do , except you , Yara .

I watch the surprise flicker over her face , watch her mouth open and close as if she doesnt know what to say before she refocuses on my hair .

I close my eyes again , but not before looking at the wet t shirt clinging to her body .

Shes thin , but with gentle curves .

Her round breasts are outlined against the shirt and her nipples are hardened nubs , just begging to be sucked .

Can I ask you a question ? I ask her as she pushes my head back under the water .

Yes .

What do you want in a mate , in a relationship ? She thinks for a moment .

Peace and quiet .

13.06 Chapter 24 I shake my head .

I cant offer you that .

Thats not the life that the packs live .

Monogamy , she says as if this will be a deal breaker for me .

Actually , Im thrilled .

That I can offer you .

I will never be another woman again .

Youre it for me , Yara .

She frowns , staring at my hair , so I dip it and she begins washing it for a third time .

I want someone who respects me , who recognizes the value that I bring to the relationship , that Im an intelligent woman and doctor , someone who will allow me to do the job that I love .
