The Millennium Wolves

 Book 2: Chapter 5 

Aiden

I‘m in deep. There‘s no turning back now, not that there ever was for me.

Sienna had me on a leash. Like a domesticated dog. But did she hate me or have feelings for me?

I could never tell with her. If she ultimately chose to reject me...

Fuck!

I swiped my claws across my desk, knocking everything from stacks of signed documen ts to old sports

trophies to the floor in a clatter.

Josh cringed especially hard as I scattered hundreds of Yule Ball invitations around the room, some of

them hitting the ceiling fan and getting ripped to oblivion.

“That girl,” I snarled. “I can‘t

get her out of my fucking head. She‘s completely taken over my every thought, and it‘s driving me

insane.”

“I‘m sure it‘s just the Haze,” said Josh warily, as he tried to recover what was left of the invitations.

The damn Haze. It felt never–ending. I teased Sienna relentlessly about her control, but the truth was I

was barely holding it together. When I was in her presence, everything else felt blurred –– I couldn‘t

focus.

But for me to be feeling this way when she wasn‘t even around? It made me want to claw my eyes out.

“How the hell are you dealing with this?” I asked, pacing in circles. “Doesn‘t Jocelyn dist ract you from

your most important tasks, burrow into your brain like a parasite, and mak e you want to rip something

in fucking half?

“Uhhh—” Josh quickly pulled a vintage mural of my family tree out of my reach.

He paused for a moment to think about my question. “Actually, not really,” he said, looki ng a bit

confused. “I mean Jocelyn is great and all, but I can‘t say I‘ve felt anything like what you‘re describing.”

“Well, you‘re lucky then,” I growled. “Because this is torture.” 11:32

My phone started buzzing in my pocket, and I pulled it out cautiously, knowing exactly w ho it would be.

Sienna Hey Aiden

Sienna Got your note

Sienna Hope you have a good day at work

Sienna Sounds busy

Sienna Maybe I can find a way to make your day less stressful

Sienna

I threw my phone across the room as my Haze started to ignite again, watching it shatte r against the

wall.

“Josh, I no longer have access to my planner,” I said without a shred of irony. “What‘s o n my schedule

for the rest of the day???

“Just the Pack lunch,” replied Josh. “Do you want me to cancel it?” CC

“Hell no, that‘s exactly what I need. A testosterone– filled room. No women and especially no Sienna.”

Sienna

I woke up to an empty house, but Aiden‘s scent still lingered in the air. He left a note, he ld by a magnet

on the fridge. It said he‘d gone out for some alpha business and he woul d be in the Pack House all day

and might not make it home for dinner.

For some reason a dumb grin spread across my face as I got dressed. When I looked in the mirror and

pulled my red hair back into a ponytail, I saw my mark in a different light.

For the first time, it didn‘t annoy me or enrage me. I was actually kind of proud of it.

I decided to text Aiden and tell him to have a good day at work, maybe even flirt a little, but after a few

messages, they stopped going through and he didn‘t reply. He was probably swamped with work and

had to shut off his phone.

What if I surprised him at the Pack House for lunch? That seemed like a good idea, con sidering how

he wouldn‘t have a spare moment otherwise, today.

I was practically beaming, and I wanted to smack my own silly smile off my face, but ma ybe this

feeling wasn‘t so bad.

***

When I reached the gate, I saw the guard who‘d been there the last time I tore through t he Pack

House. He took one look at me and turned white as a ghost. Without even a “hello,” he opened the

gate and ushered me through, trying to avoid eye contact.

“Sorry about last time,” I said sheepishly, making him jump. “I might have some anger management

issues.

Eyes wide, he smiled nervously, nodding like a broken bobblehead. I might need to pay for his therapy.

When I got inside, I caught Aiden‘s scent, but it was somewhat obscured by several oth er masculine

scents. I wondered if he could

scent me or if mine was masked too? As I was sniffing the air, I nearly ran right into Jocelyn.

“Hey, Sienna,” she said as she smiled. “What are you doing here?

Damn, I kept forgetting how beautiful she was. “Hey, Jocelyn,” I said, smiling tentatively in return.

I still wasn‘t sure if I could trust her or not. Michelle constantly told me she was shady, b ut Jocelyn was

always kind and helpful to me. Usually I trusted Michelle‘s judgment, but this time I wasn‘t so sure.

Especially since the timing of Michelle‘s distrust in Jocelyn aligned with her dating Josh, who I‘m pretty

sure Michelle had a crush on, despite never having officially met him.

“Are you here for Aiden?” she asked slyly.

“Is he busy? I could always come back later.”

“No, he‘s just in his Pack Lunch. Men only,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Josh is there too.”

“That sounds important,” I said, starting to lose my nerve. “Maybe I shouldn‘t interrupt.”

Jocelyn grabbed my arm, giggling. “I think that‘s exactly what you should do. Hold on try this.”

She leaned in and pulled my hair down from its ponytail, tussling and messing with it till i t had a sexy

bedhead look to it. Damn, her beautiful appearance was one thing, but she also had a scent that could

kill. It was absolutely intoxicating. She pulled down the shoul der of my shirt, exposing my mark.

“Are you sure about this?” I asked.

“Sienna, Aiden is crazy about you. And if what

Josh has been telling me is true, then he might be literally going insane

because of you. You‘re probably the most dominant she–

wolf I‘ve ever met, and you look sexy as hell right now. Embrace it! Go into that lunch an d show him

you‘re a force to be reckoned with.‘

She gave me a mischievous smile and placed her hand above my heart.

“Trust me...and good luck.”

As she walked away, I felt I really could trust her implicitly.

A fiery dominance had begun burning inside me as soon as she touched me. It was as if she‘d

activated some buried power deep within me.

Chin up and dominance radiating from my every pore, I burst through the heavy oak do ors of the

meeting room, striding toward Aiden and the other men with complete confide nce.

They all raised their heads, dumbfounded, jaws dropping and eyes filling with lust, exce pt Josh, who

just scowled.

Aiden‘s Haze flared when he caught my scent, but there was a ravenous look of pride a nd possession

in his eyes that had nothing to do with the Haze.

Arousing Aiden in front of his pack was one of the riskiest things I‘d ever done, but I co uld tell it was

working by the way he was sweating and digging his claws into the table

It was a bold move, but Jocelyn was the right target. Not just anyone could pull this off.

Aiden tried to fight his Haze, but for once, I didn‘t want him to fight it. I wanted it to comp letely engulf

him. It wasn‘t exactly revenge–I wanted him too– but I was enjoying every sweet second of his

discomfort.

I leaned over the table and licked my lips.

“I missed you when I woke up this morning. I started touching myself, but it just wasn‘t a s much fun

without you. Your fingers are so much more satisfying.”

That was all he needed. Before I even knew what was happening, he picked me up and slammed me

down on the table, causing the rest of his pack to jolt.

He crawled over me, growling in anticipation, while I lay sprawled out across the table in clear view of

everyone else.

“Get out,” he snarled at his pack without breaking eye contact with me. “Everyone get o ut NOW.”

The Pack hastily got up from the table and made for the exit, but Aiden was all over me before they had

even left.

He grabbed my breasts through my shirt, squeezing almost painfully. I kissed him back, but unlike him,

I had control over my Haze now. I managed to tease his mouth until a growl burst out of his throat,

making his chest rumble.

I shuddered from the feeling of the vibration and laughed quietly. “Oh, someone‘s angry,” I said sedu

ctively.

“You have no idea,” he growled and kissed me again. This time I let him kiss me as pos sessively as he

wanted while I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my legs arou nd his waist. I grabbed a

handful of his hair and pulled it as hard as I could until he bared his fangs.

“Fucking bite me,” I commanded.

“What?” he replied, bewildered. “Since when do you—“

“What?he replied, bewildered. “Since when do you—“

“Do what I tell you. Sink your teeth into me!”

Aiden picked me up and set me gently on the edge of the table, surveying me with conc ern. “Sienna, All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

what‘s this about?”

“What are you talking about? Don‘t you want me?” I responded, annoyed.

“Of course I do,” he said. “But not like this.”

What was I even doing? Throwing myself at the Alpha? This was such a stupid fucking idea.

Doubt began to sink in, and whatever Jocelyn had done was fading fast. All of my insec urities came

rushing to the surface.

“Do you even find my scent alluring?” I spat. “What if I weren‘t your prospective mate? Would you even

pay any attention to me?

You‘re an alpha, a different pedigree. I‘m just a commoner, a girl that was abandoned b y her parents.

I‘m nobody.”

I started tearing up. “I can‘t be with someone who‘s superior to me. I can‘t be in a relatio nship where I

constantly feel insignificant and burdened to live up to your expectations.

This just can‘t work.”

Aiden looked stunned, but he softly placed his hand on my cheek and stared straight into my eyes.

“Sienna, I don‘t view you as a commoner that has to bend to my every whim.” He smiled . “I view you

as an equal.”

Now, I was the one who looked stunned. An equal?

“Look, I can‘t explain it, but,” Aiden said, furrowing his brow. “But lately, I feel connected to you, to what

you want. I can sense your desires and your doubts like they‘re my own. And I know you don‘t want it

here—in my office, on the conference table.”

Aiden started pacing now, clearly nervous, an emotion I hadn‘t thought Aiden possesse d.

This was weird as hell, and I sat back in complete bewilderment, not knowing what would come next in

this one–man play.

“What I‘m trying to say is...” He turned to face me with a burst of confidence. “I think it‘s t ime we go on

a run.”

Oh. My.God.
