Leilani-“What do you mean by factors?” I asked, not feeling the same delight Eric was feeling.Until we knew more, I didn’t think we needed to get ahead of ourselves and think we could solve their problems. From everything I have been hearing, I wondered if maybe I had jumped the gun. I was glad Eric was feeling better, but I was growing more cautious about using magic.Tate seemed to be opposed to it, and so did the pack doctor. What if what they said was true and it caused more problems. I could already feel the guilt ease in, at thinking I could become the reason something terrible happens to their parents.“Well, it depends on what happened for them to lose their wolf. If they are willing to do it since I know most wolves aren’t too keen on our kind nowadays. We can’t force an unwilling wolf to participate in magic. It will also depend on if the wolf is already dead or not.” Delilah explained.Eric quickly explained what happened, and now he seemed less excited about the prospect
Leilani-The next morning, believe I woke up before anyone else. Looking outside I noticed the moon was still peeking through the window. Not wanting to wake Eric, I gently unwrapped his arms from around me.Careful not to make any noise or sudden movements, I eased out of bed. When my feet hit the floor, I tiptoed out of the room. My brain was in a fog this morning, more than likely from what Delilah had told me.Not sure what to do, I thought maybe it was a good idea to go for a walk outside. I would have to go barefoot though since most of my stuff was still in the room Archer was now in. Just needing to get some fresh air, I silently made my way outside.“Where are you running off to?” I heard Tate’s voice the moment I stepped outside.Looking in the direction of his voice, I saw he was walking towards me from the direction of the trees. Softly closing the door, I made my way in his direction, not wanting my voice to carry inside and wake anyone up.“I just felt like I needed to g
Leilani- I wasn’t sure how long we ran, but when the sun started to rise, I knew we would need to return soon. Slowing my pace, the boys did as well until we all came to a complete stop. It was almost as if I could feel their emotions in this form because I could sense they also knew it was time to head back. Wanting to run back, I turned to head in the opposite direction we had been running. Thankfully they joined me, considering I had figured they would have shifted back right there. The run back was just as delightful other than the fact it didn’t last nearly as long as I thought it would. When we reached the yard of the packhouse, I realized I didn’t know how to shift back. Eric and Tate shifted with ease back into their human form and even Archer joined us shortly later, already in his human form. I tried to think of all my lessons from class but couldn’t remember if it had been covered in a lesson. “I know you don’t want to shift back, but we need to get back inside before a
Eric- The moment I smelled my body wash on her, I was ready to say the hell with it and carry her into the room. Until this moment, I don’t think I ever thought of a male’s scent smelling this amazing on a woman. I have noticed other females doing it, which I had found weird. Having my scent on her like this, was probably the most titillating thing I have experienced. Not only that but just knowing others would smell it on her gave me a sense of pride. If they didn’t already know she was mine, they would after catching her scent. I was just about to tell Jarod and Archer to fuck off for an hour, but then Tate walked in without knocking. I was just about to ask where Brook was when she came in a few seconds later with my niece and Jason. So much for the idea to take Leilani back to bed. “Sorry we are late, the babysitter wasn’t able to come this morning.” Brook said the moment she sat down on the couch next to Tate. This was the exact reason I was glad I had a large couch. Even wi
Leilani-For a minute I figured they were just going to talk for me. I was tired of people taking over my life since it has been like that for as long as I can remember. Now that they were willing to get my input, I realized that I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.The idea of getting stuck in that place again didn’t sit well with me. If there was a way for me to get in and out, then I wouldn’t mind going back. I was still curious about why I couldn’t gain access to my old room.“Are you sure I can go in and out without any issues?” Sitting forward in my chair, I placed my elbows on the table.“Yes, but I will go with you the first couple of times just in case. You will do it, but I will be there to help you, should you run into any problems.” Delilah gave me a reassuring smile.I didn’t know her as well as the others did. In the time I have been speaking to her though, she has seemed to be, well I wasn’t too sure what she seemed to be. All I knew was things were a mess and she knew a
Leilani-Eric and I were the last ones in the auditorium after everyone left. I was still floored that Delilah wanted me to remove a scale from Archer. Looking over at Eric, he appeared to be waiting for me.“She can’t be serious.” I stated, not really concerned if he responded or not.“I wouldn’t know, but I am sure it will be fine.” His hand moved to my thigh, where he squeezed it slightly, giving me the impression that he was attempting to comfort me.I thought he was going to remove his hand, but he kept it there. His gaze moved down to his hand, and I saw that his eyes darkened slightly. Instantly I felt myself become aroused, thinking of what he had promised me this morning.Technically we were alone, even if someone could walk in at any moment. Not that I cared since this has been building up all day. I wasn’t sure what time it was, but it feels like it has been an eternity.Before I could say or do anything, he moved his hand up to my hip and placed his other hand on the other
Eric-I have heard of others allowing their wolves to take control when they were with their mates because it allowed them to be with them. Tate had even told me of a time or two that his wolf had been granted control during certain instances. When Desmond wanted to do it, I figured it would be fine.Now I realize I was completely wrong. For one I never even asked Leilani if she was okay with it. Looking at the deep bruising on her pelvic bone, I saw Desmond had been too rough with her. I knew everything that had happened, felt it even.The entire time I had been too engrossed in how it made me feel that I failed to see how far he took it. I couldn’t take my eyes off the marks.“Damnit, Eric! Look at me!” Leilani yelled, but I couldn’t bring myself to look at her.“Do not see what you did?” I asked my wolf, needing him to understand how much he messed up.He didn’t respond, yet I didn’t think he would. I had hoped I would feel his guilt or something, yet I felt nothing that signified
Eric-“For all of it. I am not going to stand here and deny the fact that you were physically hurt didn’t bother me.” I began as I pulled back so I could look her in the eyes. “But I shouldn’t have let it bother me to the extent that I allowed it to.”“I was probably a bit too hard on you as well. Archer explained that you probably reacted the way you did because I am your mate. I still don’t fully understand everything, but I suppose I was in the wrong too. Also, I shouldn’t have slapped you.” She admitted.The last thing I expected was that Archer would have come to my defense at all. I was glad she was willing to admit to her faults, as well as mine. For our first argument, I suppose it could have turned out to be a lot worse, instead, we were able to admit our wrongdoings.Pulling her back against me, I tightened my hold on her and just basked in her warmth. I wasn’t sure how long we stood there, but she allowed me to hold her like this without making it become uncomfortable. With
