"Dshush ir ushury tayn dish lon?"

"What?" Cal laughed, burying his head in her neck.

Kat spat the toothpaste out of her mouth and rinsed.

"Does it usually take this long?" She frowned, as she stood at the bathroom mirror, pulling at the skin around her mark.

"I don't have any hands on experience but I think it usually settles within 8 hours." Cal's hands were definitely on Kat.

"How many hours has it been?" She grumbled.

"About ten." He turned her around to face him.

"Does it matter what it looks like?"

Kat shrugged.

"I just thought it was supposed to heal instantly unless there was a problem."

"You think there's a problem? You don't think we're mates?"

"No, we're obviously mates." She grinned at him.

"So forget about it for now, it's not painful is it?"

Kat shook her head.

"So-"

Cal kissed her mark, she shivered with pleasure.

"-forget it."

"I might need distracting." Kat smirked at him.

"I hear you loud and clear!" Cal laughed, picking Kat up.

He threw her over his shoulder as she laughed.

Kat's head bobbed as he walked back into their room, she raised her hand and pinched him hard on the ass.

"Oh you're getting it now." He growled, throwing her on the bed.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled up at him.

He pulled his shirt off in one fluid motion.

"Alpha?" Tate's voice came, along with a knock at the door.

Cal groaned, pulling his shirt back on.

"Duty calls."

He bent and kissed Kat, before opening the door.

Kat sighed and collapsed on the bed.

"Uh- C-cal, I believe you wanted to sort the new wolves today? In the training trees?" Tate was shifting awkwardly in the door. Kat glanced at him, he blushed deeply.

She watched Cal frown at Tate, following his line of sight to her laying on the bed.

She felt his anger permeate the room.

"Beta Tate -" He started.

"I would like to talk to you, if that's alright?" Kat interrupted, sitting up.

Cal's eyes widened as he regarded her, jealousy twisting across the bond.

"Y-yes Luna." Tate stuttered.

"Not here." Cal growled.

"In your office then?" Kat stood up from the bed quickly.

Tate nodded and left. As Kat made to follow him, Cal stopped her.

"I don't like you being alone with him, he is clearly attracted to you."

Kat bristled.

"Do you think I throw myself at every man who declares his want for me? I will hold a discussion with our beta when I want to and you will trust me. I will see you later at the training to assist you in sorting our wolves. Don't attempt to control me, Cal. It won't end well for you."
