Chapter 10

When I saw Alpha Rik heading toward the bar where I was standing, I immediately moved to go back to the dance floor. Right about that time, the DJ announced the dedication of Who Runs the World to me. All the warriors in my pack begin to cheer. Bastards! I know they did this on purpose to try and embarrass me. Joke's on them, I'm totally going to own it along with all the other female warriors. Lacey and I take the lead and rock the song. More and more girls join us and it's total attitude until the song is done. Then, like the rock stars we are, we howl our dominance to our male counterparts.

When I look up, I see Liam smiling at me. Oh Goddess help me, that smolder. Good thing these jeans are dark because a line of heat just went straight south and now there's most definitely a wet spot giving away my desire for that sexy man.

I dance through another couple of fast songs, knowing Liam is waiting for the next slow song. As soon as it starts, he heads my way. The dancers make a path for him and it's like no one else is in the room. I'm locked onto those sage green eyes. His are a much lighter shade than my own, but there is so much intensity in them, that my heart starts to beat faster and there's a flutter in my stomach.

As he walks up to me, I slide my arms around his neck as he slides his down to my ass, pulling me closer and sniffing my neck. His mouth slides up to my ear and he whispers, "Hello beautiful, still saving yourself for me?" I can't help the purr that escapes before I reel it in and give him my standard response. "You know I'm saving myself for my mate."

He pulls back enough to look me in the eye. "Right, saving yourself for me, as I said." I can't help but laugh. Cocky Alpha.
