"You egotistical jerk!!!!" She shouted in fury, she clutched her towel tightly around her with one hand, the other reaching out to grab her clothes from his hands.

She jumped numerous times, him enjoying ever second. Standing at 5 foot, it was almost impossible to reach her clothes when he was like a giant to her. He laughed teasingly, she lowered her head and gritted her teeth. With clenched fists her body shook with anger. She had enough of his perverted ways!!!!

Growling, she stepped forward glaring up at him before slamming her leg upward. His face paled, a yelp and snarl escaping his lips as he fell to his knees in front of her. She smirked grasping her clothes from his hands happily skipped into the bathroom "I'll take that... thank you very much." She exclaimed before slamming the bathroom door shut and locked it. He was clutching his 'area' in pain.

Putting on her clothes she exited back out, huffing she grasped a pillow and prepared to leave the bedroom.

"Where are you going?" He snarled out.

She turned, "To sleep elsewhere, somewhere where you aren't."

She hissed out a scowl on her face, he growled "You're my mate, you sleep with me in my bed, in my room!"

"I told you I'm not owned by anyone...besides you bit me without my consent." She huffed turning to leave. He growled, she growled back. They stared at each other for a few minutes with narrowed eyes.

"Fine. You sleep in here...I'll sleep in one of the guest bedrooms." He huffed grasping the pillow out of her hands.

She smiled, "Fine with me!" And she instantly slipped into the bed. Cuddling under the covers she watched as he walked out. "Night, Dove." He replied before shutting the door behind him.

She sighed closing her eyes, "Night."

A scream echoed through the halls, River stood over the crying girl. Her face contorted with fear as she twisted and turned, her nails dug into the sheets and her fangs were bared.

He growled grasping her arms firmly, "Dove...wake up!" His alpha voice reached her wolf as she gasped awake, her eyes wide as she ran a shaking hand through her hair. "You were having a nightmare again Dove." He replied. She sighs "I'm sorry I woke you up...River?"

"Hmm?" He asked glancing at her as he made sure she was okay before turning to leave. "Can you stay till I fall asleep?" She muttered out embarrassed.

He raised a brow, "I thought I was the egotistical jerk?"

She rolled her eyes, "You still are."

He went to lay on the bed next to her, but she shook her head pointing to the ground. "Not on the bed, you're sleeping on the ground." She replied. He growled, "This is my room you know."

"Fine, but don't you dare try anything..." She hissed before allowing him to lay next to her on the king bed. She clenched the blanket closer around her and moved slightly closer to him as the wind howled outside, and tree branches whacked the large windows. He smiled as she soon was laying curled up against him her cheeks heating up as she muttered, "This means nothing alright...I still hate you."

He nodded, "You love me."

She growled looking at him, "As if."

"Say whatever you want, little Dove. But I can practically feel your emotions from our bond."

She growled, "Well you can say hello to your new buddy the floor."

Sure, enough he was growling and laying on the floor in a blink of an eye. She smiled laying against the pillow, tired she fell asleep instantly.
