Jelena
For the past two days, I’ve gone back to the lagoon, but Traeger never showed up. Frustrated by his absence, I refuse to go back. It hurts that he didn’t show up. Horny and Frustrated, I wipe a stray tear away and lie back on my bed. I don’t understand why I feel this way. I barely know him. What is this hold he has on me? Something in my mind echoes that it’s more than a hold, but I quickly reject the idea. My mind wanders back to our earlier encounter. I can’t help but think about how aroused and consumed he made me feel.
A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts. It’s my dad. “Lena, pumpkin, we’re going to go to build a campfire out front. Let’s go, sweetheart.” I watch the shadow of his feet move beneath the door and wipe my eyes. “Okay, dad. Let me finish getting dressed. I’ll meet you guys there.” He hesitates for a moment. “Okay, sweet, but you better hurry
TraegerIt has been several days since I left her. When the alarm resounded, a switch turned on in my brain, urging me to leave. I didn’t know what to say, so I ran. To my regret, I went back to the lagoon to find her, but she wasn’t there. I went back a few more times, but she never came back. Every time I go back to the Institut, I feel resentment growing inside of me. Because if it weren’t for the interruption of the alarm, I’d have already been with her. Even after days of not seeing her, my body is still aroused. I’ve also been unable to sleep at night. All I can think about is her mouth and body. My frustration has risen to such a level that my fighting has become more aggressive. Every time I kick, punch, or shoot something, I imagine it is the Institute’s researchers.Arsenal and I are sparring when I land a hard shot to his sternum. He falls on the floor, clutching his chest and choking as the air constricts in
JelenaMy body shudders as pleasure courses through me. Nothing has ever been this good. Running my fingers through Traeger’s silky hair as he lays his head on my stomach, I close my eyes and take a few deep breaths. After a moment, I rise up and look into his beautiful gray eyes, kiss his beautiful lips, and whisper. “It’s my turn now.” Traeger’s eyes sharpen with desire as I push him onto his back and straddle his waist. Traeger stretches his beautiful body across my bed and groans when I run my hands across his carved chest and pull at his shirt. “Take it off,” I whisper. Traeger reaches behind his head to remove his t-shirt, exposing his chiseled abs to my hungry eyes. Leaning down, I kiss his collarbone and work my way down to his nipples and abs. My hands wander his body, memorizing every curve and muscle until I finally reach the top of his jeans. Traeger releases a ragged breath when I rub the bulge between his l
Chapter 12: It happenedTraegerAs I make my way through a copse of trees, I take one last look at my beautiful female. Jelena’s standing unabashedly naked by the light of the moon. Love, she said she loved me. I still do not understand what it is. However, I do know that those feelings she described are what I feel for her. Lying with her in that bed was incredible. I had never felt so alive in my life. What I do know is that I will kill anyone who attempts to take that away from me. Once I’m a good distance away, I run through the woods until I make it to the Institute’s clearing. It only takes me a few minutes to get there, even though it’s miles from Jelena’s house. Lycans are incredibly fast. We can travel miles within minutes. That’s probably why the Institute did not consider that even if humans are miles away, we can still make it as long as they’re within the perimeter of the forest. Jelena’s house is at
JelenaI can feel the air caressing my body as the morning light shines through my window. The strong need from the night before is just a controlled hum now. It’s as if my body was waiting for Traeger’s caress. I rub my leg up and down my sheet, recalling last night’s erotic episode, and I can’t help but wish he would have stayed. I know that I want to make love to him. No more small touches. I need his body riding mine to an ecstatic release. The mere thought of his powerful body taking mine makes dew collect at the juncture of my thighs. I ache for him so much. It’s surreal how the mere fact that he’s a Lycan does not bother me. Hell, it’s surreal that he’s a Lycan at all.Letting out a resigned sigh, I rise from the bed and dress. I put on a light yellow, sleeveless summer dress with no bra and flip-flops. My family should be up by now. This time my dad and Mr. Morgan are preparing breakfast. And my mom
TraegerShe is so beautiful that it makes me hurt. The sun shines on her beautiful dark hair and skin like a caress as she leans close. Running my fingers through it, I’m enticed by her beautiful curls. “You know. I used to come here almost every day before you arrived. One day, Arsenal, Grey and I were hunting with the rest of the pack, and I was stalking a deer when it scented me and ran off. I followed it for a while until I stumbled upon the lagoon. It looked so peaceful. And for the first time, I felt free. I swam for hours and laid in the grass, imagining that I was a normal boy. Sometimes, I’d imagine that I had a mother and father. Then, the Institute’s alarm would go off, and reality would invade my fantasies.” I whisper against her silken hair as I hold her tighter and gaze down solemnly.Saddened by my words, Jelena turns around and places her hands on my chest. “Do you know anything about your family? I mean…
JelenaTraeger and I were so close to making love. Now I’m worried about what might be happening at the Institute. He tried to reassure me, but I know that something big must be going down. His men wouldn’t have been so nervous otherwise. I get the feeling that they're not easily shaken. Especially considering their training. Rubbing my temple, I head to the house. There’s no point in thinking about this too much.Once I get to the house, I see that everyone is preparing to go camping. My dad is the first one to notice my presence. “Hey, pumpkin, I’m glad you’re back from your walk. Your mom was ready to go and find you.” Just then, my mom comes out looking upset. “Where have you been, young lady? I told you not to be out too long, and it’s been two hours since you left.” I shake my head in exasperating at her exaggerated tone and stride to the SUV’s passenger door. “Geez, mom, I just got distracte
TraegerAfter I leave Jelena, I meet up with Arsenal and Grey. They are both standing nearby, waiting for me. “What happened?” I ask in my most authoritative alpha voice. Arsenal gives me an awed smile. Grey must have told him about Jelena and me. “Sorry to interrupt you, Alpha, but something is about to go down at the Institute, and I wanted to warn you before you came back. For some strange reason, the doctors take pack members in for questioning, and they won’t say why. However, I caught up to Blade after they questioned him and gleaned some information from him before they took him to his room. He said they were asking a lot of questions about you. Some questions having to do with you and your behavior lately. They are also planning on ordering a search of the facilities. Who knows what they’re looking for? Unfortunately, we don’t know because we haven’t been able to talk to anyone else. They put the whole pack in is
JelenaThe shower’s cabin is surprisingly sturdy. It looks like a shower you’d find at a gym. It’s wooden on the outside, but inside there are dark tiles and a wall with three large showerheads. To my right, there is an area with wooden storage counters. And beneath the shower faucets, there are waist-high wooden benches attached to the wall. Resting my towel and bags on the counter, I strip off my sweaty clothes and turn on a nearby shower. To my surprise, the water is warm. Closing my eyes, I lean my hands on the wall and throw my head back, letting the water run through my body. It feels so good.Suddenly, two arms wrap around my naked waist and pull me against a solid male chest. Startled, I turn my head in surprise. “Traeger, you found me.” Giving me a smoldering smile, Traeger buries his face in my neck and inhales deeply. It’s so sweet and sexy. I’ve never had a guy hold me with so much reverence. He makes me feel like t
