“Baby, words can’t even begin to describe what I feel for you.” He reached out to touch her cheek. “We’re going to have an amazing life together.”
“Do you promise?” she asked.
“I won’t accept anything but amazing.”

Jake knocked on the window of the car causing her to jump. She’d been so taken by Daniel she hadn’t heard anyone approach.
“What’s the matter?” Daniel asked, opening his car door.
“I’ve got a mated couple in your sitting room. She was abused during her transition and was unable to feel pain. You wanted someone for Dawn to talk to, and I’ve found her.” Jake tapped the hood of the car. “Come on, they’re waiting to talk to you.”
Intrigued, Dawn climbed out of the car and followed Daniel inside the house. She was about to meet someone who couldn’t feel any pain. After what her father did to her mother, she didn’t know if she was ready for anymore revelations.
Her mate wouldn’t let her back out, and before she knew it they were in the sitting room being introduced to a beautiful blonde woman and her mate.
“Hi, I’m Lola, and this is my mate, Ben.” The blonde made the introductions, giving them both a smile.
Dawn noticed Lola didn’t spend too long noticing Daniel. She didn’t like the thought of dealing with jealousy.
“It’s great to meet you, Lola.”
“Thanks. When Jake put the word out about wolves who couldn’t feel pain, I knew I had to respond.”
Taking a seat, Dawn crossed her legs and stared at Lola. “You can’t feel pain. Please, have a seat.” She waved her hands for them to take a seat opposite them. Daniel placed his hand along the back of the sofa, comforting her with his warmth.
“I wasn’t very lucky with my parents. My father was a mean drunk, and my mother didn’t care. I was hurt regularly growing up.” Ben moved in close to rub his nose against Lola’s cheek. “During my transition I was beaten because I couldn’t leave the house to get food or alcohol for my father. It was the worst time of my life.” Lola rubbed her hands down her thighs. “When it was all over everything returned to normal, but I noticed something was wrong about three days afterward. I got my dad the wrong brand of cigarettes, and he started to, erm, to hurt me. I couldn’t feel anything. The pain, it wasn’t registering. It has been over fifteen years since my transition.”
“What did you do?” Dawn asked.
“I ran away from home. Dad started to notice that I wouldn’t scream when he broke something. I couldn’t feel anything. I was closed off, trapped, and there was nothing I could do to stop those feelings. I heard him arranging a fight for me to star in. A bloody battle to the death. I knew my time was going to be short lived. I took the savings I’d gotten and left.” Lola chuckled, tears filling her eyes as she spoke. “I ended up on the streets because I didn’t have enough money. Before I knew what was happening, I’d entered myself into the illegal fights. I fought fellow wolves or humans. I’ve killed a lot of people, and it was during a bad battle that I met Ben.”
She smiled at Ben.
“I’m an alpha, and I intended to put an end to it. The moment I saw Lola I knew she was my mate. I also knew there was something different about her,” Ben said.
“He took me home, and within a week we were mated. We couldn’t control the mating bond.” Lola stroked his face. “Afterward, I noticed I could feel pain.” Lola turned to look at Dawn. “If I go without sharing blood for any length of time then I my ability to feel pain stops. It all depends on my bond with Ben.” Lola touched her mate. The love between the two was pure, heart-warming.
“Has anything been different between you two? What about kids?” Daniel asked.
Ben’s grin turned wicked. “We’ve got four kids back home. Her condition came in handy during the labor. Once you’re with her during the first pregnancy, you’ll see what I mean. I won’t share blood with her for two months before giving birth. I couldn’t stand to see her in pain.”
“He’s a real softy inside. Ben won’t let anything happen to me.” Lola turned back to look at them. “My condition is not a problem, and it won’t be for you either. You’re true mates, and he’ll keep you safe.”
Dawn looked at Daniel, the love of her life. “Thank you.”
Lola and Ben stayed for dinner, but they needed to get back in order to keep their kids under some kind of control.
“They run rings around the pack taking care of them.”
Dawn stood beside Daniel as they waved goodbye. “What are you thinking?” she asked.
“I can’t wait to see you swollen with my child.” His hands went around her neck, securing a collar. “Dawn, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife and sub?”
Reaching up, she touched the small piece of jewelry.
Turning into his arms, she held him tightly, smiling. “Nothing would give me greater pleasure.” She rubbed her nose against his, chuckling as she did.
Daniel picked her up, but instead of leading her into the house, he started to walk toward the cabin.
“What do you have on your mind, Sir?” she asked. Heat filled her core, spilling from the lips of her pu**y.
“You know what I’m thinking. It’s time I punished my little pet before she thinks she can top from the bottom.”
He placed her on her feet and turned the light on. Peace and happiness settled over her. Going to her knees, Dawn was ready to become his submissive in all true senses of the word.
Epilogue
Two years later
Dawn sat on the lawn, sucking on a lollipop as Daniel started to bark out orders to the pack. A delivery of nursery equipment was coming today, and he wanted plenty of men on hand to help build it up. There was over seven months until she gave birth, but he was preparing early. She rubbed her slight bump, chuckling.
“You’re going to be one loved kid,” she said.
In the past two years her life had changed so dramatically. Her mother had been sentenced to the hunt. No one, not even Dawn, knew the true extent of her torture. She’d hurt many of the pack women on a regular basis, but they had been too afraid to go to Don. Since then, her father has been paying more attention to the people rather than the running of the pack to avoid wars.
She visited him often but only with a guard.
Touching the collar around her neck, she couldn’t help but smile. Daniel was the perfect Dom, caring, and loving. She loved being his mate, and since their mating, she’d been able to feel.
