ChaseI walked back into Lyse’s suite with the poultice and doctor’s instructions.“Is it here?”, she asked me, her eyes begging for relief.“Yes. His instructions are to apply it and bandage it once tonight and twice tomorrow, fresh bandages each time. Do you want me to help?”, I asked.“Please. I’m not entirely sure that I can reach it all.”, she answered.“Ok. Do you think you could stand in the tub if I can get you there? I’d like to rinse it first.”, I told her.“I think so. Good thing that I never got my pants on after our run, huh?”, she said while raising her eyebrows at me.I cleared my throat and picked her up, carrying her to the bathtub.I stood her up and turned the water to luke warm as she leaned against me, doing her best to remain upright under her own power.“Sorry, Chase. I may have to lean against you a little bit.”, she said on a sigh.“It’s ok, Lyse. I don’t mind. Let’s see if we can get this rinsed.”, I said as I picked up a wash cloth and small pitcher.Her sha
AnnalyseIt’s like I can’t control myself. I feel a pull toward him and as soon as his lips touched mine, my body was on fire for this man.The minute the medicine started to cool the burn on my leg was the minute the burn started between my legs. His touch was doing things to me that I had never experienced before.I was all but begging him to ease this new ache that I was feeling without knowing what I really needed, just knowing that I needed…something.His fingertips were brushing over my clit, driving me insane with want. It never felt like this when I touched myself, that’s for sure.I was probably soaking through the comforter on the bed, but I was way past caring, just knowing that I needed him to touch me.“Please, Chase.”, I moaned, bucking against his hand, needing the friction against me.He looked at me, need and want blazing back and forth between us.He began to suck on my neck, where my mate’s mark would be and fireworks went of all throughout my body, needing more of
ChaseGetting out of bed to put my jeans back on, I was elated. Not as happy as I’ll be once I mark her, but for now…wow. I’ve never been with someone so responsive. The way she was in my arms had me craving more.‘You need to tell her, Chase.’, Havoc said. ‘I can feel her guilt through the bond, and there’s nothing for her to feel guilty about.’‘I know. I was hoping to wait until tomorrow, but given that she already feels the pull of the bond, tonight might be the time.’, I answered, feeling guilty for keeping this to myself for as long as I have, no matter the reason.‘If you wait, it might backfire on you. You could really piss her off.’, Havoc said, pacing back and forth.‘You’re probably right.’, I said.I climbed back into bed and pulled her to me. She was beyond quiet, anxiety coming off of her in waves and what looked like tears forming in the corners of her eyes.“Lyse? What’s wrong?”, I asked, knowing the probable answer before she said it.“What did we just do, Chase? We
AnnalyseWhat had I allowed to happen? No, not allowed…encouraged?I wanted him so bad, I didn’t think about the consequences until it was too late.‘Lyse, relax’, Bella said.‘Relax?! How can you say that?’, I argued.‘Because, Lyse, he’s ours.’, she said excitedly‘What do you mean ours?’‘I mean OURS. He and his Lycan are our mates.’, she said.‘There’s no way, Bells.’, I said, not daring to get my hopes up. Chase is the only one that I want.‘But, mom said something about a prophecy and me being the Lycan Prince’s fated. If that’s true, there’s no way that can be right.’, I argued back.I could practically feel Bella’s eyes rolling at me.‘Think about it: the tingly feeling you get every time his skin is even close to yours, the way you got jealous over that Harper bitch, which has never happened before, by the way..’, she started.‘Not to mention how incredibly turned on you get any time he even remotely looks at you, the way your heart speeds up in anticipation. All of it, Lyse.
AnnalyseI woke drenched in sweat, my heart beating triple time, fear racing through my veins. Something was close. I could feel it. And if my dreams meant anything at all, it was almost certain that I was in immense danger.I got up and stripped down again, making sure that my door was locked and opened the balcony door to allow the smells from the forest in.I stood in the dark, feeling the breeze skim along my sweat soaked skin, remembering the dream.I woke up in the field of flowers, trying to remember how I got here. I sure didn’t come out here alone. The last thing that I remember was taking a cup of tea from Tilda while I was in the garden. Surely she wouldn’t have…?‘Run, Bella!’, I screamed as we ran across the field of flowers, the one with crimson eyes chasing like the dreams before.Only this time, there was no Havoc jumping out to ward off danger as I run for the forest.Once I pass the tree line, a much larger version of the black wolf is there, waiting. I turn to go a
ChaseI woke early, having slept like crap last night. I had to meet with my security team to put my new measures in place for Lyse’s safety first thing and at some point, most likely after the coronation, I had to take her to meet with my dad and her parents. There was still a lot to talk about, and that’s without her knowing we were Fated. After she figures it out, things will get even busier.My assistant Sam entered and threw the heavy drapes open, letting the brightness of the sunlight pour in, eliciting a groan from me.“Sorry, Chase, but it’s time to start the day. I have your schedule here.”, she said, opening her organizer, glancing through the day’s plans.“Uh, Sam?”, I started.She glanced up and immediately turned a bright shade of pink as she glanced back down.“Yeah. Why don’t you at least let me get ready for the day and meet me in the office.”, I said.“Sure. Sorry.”, she said as she turned toward my private office.“No, Sam. My office downstairs.”, I corrected, glanci
ChaseI was pacing back and forth like a caged lion as Sam went over the day’s schedule.“What was that earlier, Sam?”, I asked, interrupting her.“First of all, you’ve never come into my private rooms without permission, then you question my company.”, I started, looking at her.“I- I’m sorry, Chase. The scent of a female in your rooms just caught me off guard for a second. I usually know who’s around you. It’s my job.”, she said.“No. Your job is to handle my schedule and administrative duties. My private life doesn’t fall under your umbrella of duties.”, I informed her.“I know. I just- we’ve known each other for so long…”, she began.“We have.”, I said, cutting her off. “However, I think that things have become too familiar.”, I continued, noticing her expression of shock and hurt.“All of this because I misspoke?”, she asked.“Not just that, Sam. It was crossing a line. Boundaries have to be put in place moving forward. I’m to be King tonight. That means a new set of rules. For e
ChaseFinally. I thought, impatient to have this line gone so that I could get out of here.I kept glancing around the room, searching her out as she walked around with her mother, talking to members from other packs. She was truly stunning to me. She walked with confidence and poise as she stopped to talk, her eyes seeking mine, giving a small smile when she saw me watching her.I looked up and saw that I was down to the last few well wishers, Havoc pacing with agitation and the need to mate our fated.‘Calm, Havoc. Almost done.’, I said.He all but roared his frustration in my head. I was feeling it too.I was down to my last guest. I looked up to find Harper watching me with a predatory gleam in her eyes as she stepped forward and placed her hand on my forearm.“Congratulations, Your Royal Highness”, she said, eyebrow raised. She ran her tongue over her top lip, becoming bolder as she looked at me.“Thanks, Harper.”, I replied, shaking her hand off of me.“I was thinking that I’d m
