Taken by the Alpha’s Son

Chapter 8



MADISON

It has been two weeks since Ethan asked me to be his chosen mate. I want to scream yes, but I know what that would mean. We only have to wait for thirteen days. In thirteen days we will know for sure if I am his mate. It scares the shit out of me, but then I half expect not to be. I am not good enough for Ethan. I wasn’t good enough for Connor and there is no way in hell I am good enough for Ethan.

He hasn’t pressured me, but he sure has pleasured me. I feel bad. I want to return the favor. I know he has to be pent up, I was before he started giving me pleasure. I still want more. Each time he does it, I want him to never stop. I am just scared I guess.

Right now I am sitting in the living room, sketching. I am not good at it by any means but Ethan seems to like them. I am sketching Deimos.

“Hey, baby, we have to go shopping.” He comes in holding his phone.

“Why, what’s going on?” We just got food so I don’t see why we would need to go shopping.

“My dad just called, a neighboring pack is coming to visit and of course I have to make an appearance. I want you with me.”

First I am shocked. “Why? I am not anyone special. This is something different, if you take me back to the pack like that they are going to think I am your mate.”

“You are my mate. You don’t know it yet but I do. We need to get something to wear.” He looks back at his phone. “I suggest we leave in about twenty minutes. That should give us enough time to find something and then get ready for dinner.” He flashes me a smile.

I start to hyperventilate. How the hell could he do this? I can’t do this. Unlike him I was not raised to do this. I am a nobody. He is someone. People look to him for guidance. I can hardly keep myself together most of the time. All the women that will be gawking at him.

A voice rings in my head. ‘Fuck them, let him mark you.’ My wolf is wagging her tail.

‘I can’t do that. What if he isn’t our mate?’ My wolf goes silent again.

He pokes his head back in from the hallway. “Breathe baby. You got this.” Fuck him, just because he knows what I am thinking does not make him right. I don’t got this.

I set my sketch stuff on the table and head to my room. Ethan has gotten me all new clothes but I still have the outfit from when he kidnapped me. I am tempted to wear it just to piss him off. I don’t though. I put on a pair of jeans and a yellow blouse that Ethan seems to really like on me. I have no idea why, I think it clashes with my hair. I pull my hair up in a pony tail and call it good. He got me some black flats that I slipped on on my way out the door.

He is standing at the door waiting for me. Ethan pulls me into his arms. “You look so beautiful. My wolf is running in circles looking at you. He is a little ruffled that I am taking you out of the house, but I told him that it will happen eventually. He still isn’t happy about it.”

“I can always just stay here.” I smile coyly at him.

“Nope, I want to show you off.” He kisses me. “I would be persuaded to let you stay if you let me mark you.” He wiggles his eyebrows at me.

“Well, we better get going then.” I sigh.

“It was worth a shot.” He shrugs his shoulders. “Alright baby, let’s go find you the best looking dress out there. Actually on a better thought, maybe the worst looking dress, I don’t want anyone trying to steal you away.”

“I find that hard to believe. I don’t care what the dress looks like. Maybe I could wear a moo-moo. Do you think that will work?”

“Don’t kid about that baby.” He shakes his head as he leads me to the truck.

“Oh, come on, it could be a really pretty brown one.”

“I am going to pretend you didn’t say that.” He opens the door for me. Then helped me to climb in.

“It would be adorable.” I laugh. Ok, I can’t even hold that one. I buckle up.

“You are so fucking cute.” He says as he climbs in the truck in the driver seat. “Now, I think either a black dress or a green one. Let’s see what we can find.” He winks as he takes off.

It doesn’t take us too long to get to town. Now that he isn’t pulling over all the time to kiss me, we make a lot better time. Plus I don’t need a blind fold anymore. I don’t even try to run, I want to go back home at the end of the day. Not so sure about the pack house.

He opens my door for me and holds my hand all the way to the formal wear store. I am not one for formal wear, but apparently that is what you wear when you are meeting people from other packs.

Ethan pulls me straight over to the dresses. “Don’t you need to get a suit too?” I mention it as he starts looking over dresses.

“I need to make sure that you actually get a dress. I know you and you would wear that moo-moo, if I didn’t make sure you look as fantastic as you do.” He pulls out a couple of dresses that are apparently my size, I have no idea what my actual size is. I always just get stuff that is big.

“Don’t diss the moo-moo, I hear they are quite comfortable.” I scoff as he hands me three dresses.

“Don’t argue with me, go try these on.” He turns me towards the dressing rooms and smacks my ass.

“Jeez, bossy much.” I still went to the dressing room. I tried on the little black one first. I stepped out to show Ethan and as soon as my legs are out he is already shaking his head no.

“It is too sexy, next.” He waves me back in the dressing room.

I roll my eyes, but head back in. I slip in the next dress which is a little black dress too, but it flows from the waist instead of hugging my body. I step out in this one and he still shakes his head no.

“Still too sexy. Try the last one.” He waves me back in.

“You are so picky.” I put my hand on my hip and lectured him. “Nothing is going to be right, you know.”

“Do you want me to kill anyone who looks at you?” He folds his arms over his chest.

“Of course not, that is just ridiculous.”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“Then change out of that dress.” He points back to the dressing room.

I chuckle and head back in. I can tell that was his wolf talking, I don’t think Ethan would really kill anyone. I change into the last dress, this is a green number that hugs my body all the way down to my ankles, with a swooping neck, thin straps. I step out in this one and he takes a minute to think. “Well at least this one covers most of your body. It will have to do. I still think it is too sexy.” I roll my eyes, but change back into my jeans.

When I come back out, he already has a suit in hand. With a tie that matches my dress. “Is that what you were waiting for, to see what color my dress would be?”

He shrugs, “Maybe.” He smirks and takes my dress.

At the register the cashier smiles at both of us, she is a nice looking older woman. Definitely looks like she prides herself in her appearance. All her hair is in place and her makeup done just right. “You guys are about the cutest couple I have ever seen in here.”

Ethan grabs me around the waist. “That is what I keep telling her.” He kisses my cheek. “She just doesn’t realize it. Thank you.” He nods to the cashier. I just roll my eyes at him.

“Thank you.” I smiled at her.

“Well, you should certainly see it, you are very beautiful.”

“Thank you, again.” I nod to her, blushing a little.

“Well, I hope whatever you guys are going to goes well.” She hands over our garment bags.

“Me too.” Ethan sighs.

As he ushers me out the door, I look over at him. “What are you not telling me?”

“This is supposed to be some sort of alliance meeting, if it doesn’t go well then we could be going into battle again. I don’t want that.” He pulls me closer to him.

“I am sure you can make it happen. You got me to agree to just about anything.” I chuckle at him.

“If that was true then you would be wearing my mark tonight.” He growls.

“Thirteen days isn’t that long. I would just hate to short change you.” I mumble, but I know that he hears me.

“You could never short change me.” He kisses my head as we reach the truck. “I just realized we didn’t get shoes. I have shoes at home, but what do you have?”

“I have those black heels that you bought me, I haven’t worn them yet.”

He looks thoughtful, “Oh, yeah, those. I forgot because you haven’t worn them.”

“Where am I going to wear heels in the middle of the woods?” I can not help but

grumble.

“True, but it would look sexy as hell. You, walking down the hallway in those things. I guess that is what I pictured when I bought them.” He shrugs and opens the door for me. I climb up in the truck and buckle up.

By the time he comes around the other side I am all settled in. “I guess I never thought of that. I was just comfortable. I didn’t think of trying to seduce you.”

“Really, cause you do it every damn day.” He growls but it’s a joking growl.

“So you’re easy, anyone could get you going?” I match his joke.

“No, just you.”
