Her scent was mixed with the smell of her blood and I focused on the tingles dancing on my skin instead of this because otherwise I was going to rage out of here and rip off Clarice’s head.
We were like that for another 10 or 15 minutes before she moved slightly. I debated putting her down real quick, unsure how she would feel about me holding her, but before I could her eyes fluttered open and she groaned out loud as all the pain made itself known again. Her hand came up to touch her face and she flinched. Then her head tilted back and she looked up to my face. I just stared down at her, my heart broken that this was my fault.
“Hello there.” she slurs and I chuckle cause she is adorable.
“Hi, how are you feeling?”
“Everything hurts.” She pauses a minute and closes her eyes before opening them again and blinking to adjust to the lights. “Did you have to
Her face is tucked down, her hair falling like a curtain around it. I can’t see her eyes but I can tell she is staring intently at the lid of her coffee. Her heart rate has increased and it only takes me a moment to deduce that she is extremely embarrassed about this, and genuinely worried what I will think. She regrets it.“Drunk night?” I ask, trying to keep it light and praying there was some other force at work that put them together that night.“The first and last of my life.” she breaths out slowly.“Quitting already? So young?” I half joke, half hope that’s true if this is what happens when she drinks.“Yep. 100%. Never a sip again. I’ve avoided it all my life because I’ve seen the decisions people make when they drink. One major fight with my dad and I became that person that I always judged and promised myself not to be. And i
I stretch out, my back making the irritating pains known from sleeping here, but those are quickly overpowered by the pain that hits me full force from my face and my head. Fucking hell.I groan and get up slowly to head over to the bathroom to find medicine. Once I’m properly medicated I draw a hot bath and crawl into it, grabbing my phone to ensure I don’t fall asleep. I unlock it to find a text from my sister, a few from my dad and one from an unknown number. I’m confused until I open it.-Doing good here at the clinic. Hope you don’t feel like a truck hit ya, but in case you do, try some of the herbs on your porch.-Giddiness rises up inside my chest at seeing a message from him. Not for the first time since I got this job, I wondered if taking it was such a good idea when I was clearly falling for my boss. But before I could overthink that again, I decided to deal with the headache first. Aft
“Hey you!” she calls from the front desk. I see that she is pulling togo containers from a bag and laying them out on the desk.“Hey, get some sleep?” “A ton of it. It helped, but not nearly as much as your concoction did.”“I resent the term concoction.” I defended and she laughed.“Fine… miracle tea. Whatever you want to call the witchcraft that healed my head, I appreciate it. Sometime you should share that with me.”“Sorry, I forgot to mention its a secret trick of the trade.”She looked at me with these ‘you have got to be kidding me’ eyes and they were so adorable it broke my stoic expression.“Fine, technically it isn’t mine. It was something I found through research and adjusted as needed for a patient awhile ago who had a
“If you want to hit me, Alpha or not, I’ll let you. If you want to fight me, I’ll also let you but I will defend myself.”“I don’t want to hit you, Armi. Well, I mean Delta does. But I don’t. At least not that much.”“I’d want to hit me.”“Yeah, but if you were any other random guy, no matter how much I’d be upset and want to murder him, I wouldn’t. Because he didn’t know she was my mate. And I am more upset because it was you, my brother, but the same thought process applies. You didn’t know.”“I never would have… if I did. Never. In a million years. Remi I swear.”“I know that.”“You know that’s why I stopped sleeping with wolves awhile ago. Because that is what happened. I slept with a girl. And a month later she
{ Novaleigh }The teapot’s shrill whistle filled every corner of the house as I stepped out of the shower. I slipped on some jeans and a sweatshirt, unable to keep the smile off my face.I glanced at my calendar while I head to the kitchen and run my fingers over the week.It was Thursday now. It had been a few days since the incident with Clarice and thanks to Remi’s secret herbs my face was practically completely healed, it was incredible. I turned off the heat for the teapot and pulled it onto a pot holder on the counter while I grabbed a bag of the magic herbs. Today was the last day I’d be taking them most likely but I wanted to take them all the way through till I was completely healed.The past two days had been filled with Remi, nonstop. I noticed a little difference in him when I came into work Wednesday. At first he seemed tenser, like something was weighing on his mind. B
{ Remi }Fuck me.She walks past, side eyeing me as she passes out into the hallway and I try my damnedest to think of something other than the feeling of her skin against mine and how badly I wanted to bend her over that clinic table. Her moans and the fact that her arousal is still filling this room. Goddess, I was hard as rock. I needed a cold shower bad. I walked over to the sink and splashed my face with the coldest water I could get from it. It did not help.I’d be thinking about what just happened for the rest of the day, no doubt. Her teasing was sexy as hell. I couldn’t believe she was the one who started all of that. Delta was howling like a maniac when she came in, saying he felt her wolf stirring. I wonder if that had something to do with it. She was still 2 days from her birthday and it was killing me that she didn’t know yet but it seemed I was right about my herbs. They were lowering the
“I guess we found out why it feels like I’ve known you forever. You are familiar.” She had a big smile on her face and this brightness in her eyes that wasn’t there before.“I was also yelled at, for that day. My parents weren’t happy I was so far away from them and alone. But I never told anyone about playing with you. You were my secret, and I even went back to the field more than a few times to see if you were there again. The field means something to me too.”This woman did not have my heart. She was my heart. I thought I was connected, I thought I knew what all this was… but its like we are attached by this string. And now there are 3 strings. And our tether is even stronger and our connection is deeper because we share this history and we share these emotions that have stayed with us even when we were apart. How was it possible I loved this woman this much, and we couldn’t even fee
{ Novaleigh }I wake to movement beside me, and it startles me awake. My eyes shoot open but I relax as memories of the night before flood over me. Remington. He is shifting in his sleep a bit. I’m still tangled up with him, his arm around me and my head on his chest.I snuggle back in closer to him but a moment later I realize what had made him start moving.*Knock Knock Knock*This time my head shoots off the pillow and I startle Remi awake with me.“What’s wrong? Are you ok?” he asks as he looks around in defensive mode.*Knock knock*He glances at me confused.“Who is here at…. 630am?” he asks as he checks his phone.“I have no idea.” I answer,, genuinely confused as well.“Want me to answer?” he asks and I
