I blinked, trying to compute the name Raphael had spat out of at in his haste to make me happy. "Mate?" I hissed, even more pissed off than before. 'Excuse the fuck out of me, Alpha… but did you seriously call me mate?!?'
"As far as you are concerned, my name is Princess, Sweetheart, Baby, or some rendition of that. To you, my name is not Addy or Mate. Do you understand that? If you call me either name again, I am going to assume that you are done with me and that rejection is the next word out of your mouth. Is that what you are trying to do? Reject me?"
"Babygirl," smirked Travis, stopping my mouse and me in mid-rant. You are getting off track. None of us will address you by your given name from now on. Now, back to the issue at hand. The males here feel that as an Alpha, Raphael dropped the ball, and the result was that you were taken by the Commander for over a month."
