Emma's Pov

　　For the first time, I am awakened by soft kisses on my bare shoulder. Morning light floods the room through the window. It creates an environment with golden, gentle tones. The smell of fresh coffee mixed with the scent of the sun warming the room wakes me up a bit more, in a sweeter and more comforting way than I am used to.

　　I turn my body and stretch sleepily, noticing Matthew's presence sitting on the edge of the bed with two cups of coffee in his hands. He is already dressed in the same clothes as last night, while I welcome him in bed without any change of clothes, the first rays of the sun caressing my exposed skin.

　　"Good morning, Emma," Matthew declares in a soft and low voice, his dark green eyes shining. Matthew gives me a quick, delightful kiss on my lips.

　　Even still sleepy, I manage to smile at him amid a lazy yawn. I sit up in bed, pulling the sheet up, and tucking it under my arms. Matthew offers one of the steaming cups. The intense aroma of the coffee awakens my senses, bringing me more fully into the moment we're in.

　　"Good morning, Matt," I murmur before taking the bitter, hot liquid to my mouth. The taste of the unsweetened coffee forces me to automatically grimace, causing a gentle laugh on Matthew's face before he takes a sip himself.

　　"Too bad?" he asks humorously, and I initially shake my head.

　　"No. It just doesn't have enough sugar," I explain before taking another sip, feeling the warmth of the coffee spreading through my body.

　　"Forgive me, I was afraid to stay away too long and when I came back, you would have already fled the bed," Matthew responds provocatively, his gaze playing with mine.

　　I give him a sheepish smile. I can't blame him for the joke. I did leave before he woke up the last two times we had sex together.

　　"You're forgiven. And in my defense, you are now in my wolf pack. I don't have many places here to hide or flee," I joke before sipping some more coffee.

　　Matthew places his own cup on the nightstand beside my bed, moving closer to me and leaning back against the headboard, lying down with me. His arm wraps around my shoulders, and I snuggle closer to him, feeling the warmth he emanates and the calm rhythm of his breathing near my skin.

　　"Alpha Emma… I never thought you would create your own wolf pack. How has the experience been?" Matthew asks with curiosity in his voice. I see genuine interest in his eyes. And it excites me, waking me up more and more with the caffeine running through my system.

　　"I can assure you that what happened yesterday is not something routine here in the Stonehaven Pack," I respond with a laugh. "But as you can see, things are still slow."

　　Matthew nods, his face is both calm and enthusiastic. He kisses my cheek, and I feel a shiver with the loving display of affection. A wave of warmth and comfort envelops me from head to toe.

　　"I can help you if you need. I can be your first ally, what do you say?" Matthew offers seductively, now kissing my neck and nibbling my ear.

　　His soft, seductive, and affectionate touch causes a warmth between my legs, and an excited sigh escapes my lips. I almost drop my cup from my hands with Matthew's inviting approach.

　　However, Alpha Matthew is more perceptive than I am, and his hand quickly takes the cup from me, placing it beside his own. As soon as my hands are free, they go towards Matthew's face, pulling him closer, his lips meeting mine.

　　"Depending on how you satisfy me now, I accept the alliance between our wolf packs, Alpha Matthew," I purr the words between the space our lips create before meeting again.

　　"Emma, Emma… satisfying you will be the best pleasure I have this morning," Matthew responds in a low, husky voice. He kisses down my neck, sucking and causing low moans from me.

　　Matthew pulls the sheet down, revealing my breasts. The desire grows more and more in my core with each move Matthew's lips make against my skin.

　　My body slides on the mattress, and Matthew follows, until his lips find my groin, his kisses provocative. He doesn't go towards my clitoris; he tortures me first. His lips kiss my thighs, he nibbles them and returns to my groin.

　　"This is torture, Alpha Matthew," I complain, writhing near his mouth, trying to guide him where I want him to taste me.

　　"No, Alpha Emma, these are just details," he responds before licking my thigh, "delicious details."

　　"It was a pleasure meeting you, Alpha Matthew," Jordan declares politely with a small bow.

　　I stand next to my beta Jordan and Amelia; my entire wolf pack is present to see Matthew off our territory. After our delightful and satisfying declaration to become allies, Matthew needed to return to his pack and deal with Milena Golden.

　　"The pleasure was all mine, Beta Jordan. As I informed Alpha Emma, it will be a pleasure working with you from now on," Matthew responds seriously and politely. "Thank you for the way you took care of my younger sister, Charlotte. I'm sure she loved you."

　　"Your sister was a delight, Alpha Matthew," Amelia says with an animated voice, Matthew nods with a polite smile.

　　"I will be sending you some security materials in a few days. As a thank you for saving Charlotte and capturing Milena Golden," Matthew announces, catching me off guard.

　　"Matt, it's not…"

　　"I insist. It's the least I can do. I'll ask Thalia to deliver them in a few days. Please, accept it," Matthew interrupts, and I finally agree.

　　"Okay, thank you very much, Matt," I responded sincerely.

　　Before leaving, Matthew approaches me and kisses me. The taste of his kiss melts my heart a little more, and my desire is to ask him not to go. To spend one more day here with me because I don't want to be apart from him again.

　　"I'll see you soon, Alpha Emma," Matthew declares in my ear with an even more seductive voice, causing my heart to skip a beat.
