I am not sure where I had found the courage to ask him to stay, let alone the courage to tell him I wanted him. Something had changed the moment I had marked him. Orla had been desperate to be alone with him too. We were now marked, both of us, we should be mated too. I had wanted him long before we knew we were mates, but this was an added need for him. One that was so difficult to ignore… all so new to me. Something I was not used to. I think he knew that. He had to be feeling the same things, right? As I wander across the room to him I see his eyes not leaving mine, the rise and fall of his chest has quickened, telling me he is more than a little flustered. “You have had hell of a day Ev, are you sure about that?” he says quietly, offering me his hand. Wait… is he trying to put me off? Did he not want me? My heart drops at the thought, and my wolf, Orla is whimpering within my mind… I have hesitated at the edge of the bed, and it has clearly made him aw
I am looking down at my beautiful mate, hearing Evelyn moan for me as I teased at the wetness we had created only drove me closer to wanting her. Needing her. I had been thinking of this moment for so long, ever since we shared that first kiss in the office… I had wanted her then… if we hadn’t stopped things then, I am sure I would have taken her. I had wanted her so badly. But I had known there were reasons it shouldn’t happen… Yet now there was nothing stopping us. She was mine. My perfect, beautiful fated mate. Laying in front of me, moaning my name as I slide my fingers faster inside of her, her raising her hips to meet me as she kisses me with such intensity it is blowing my mind… I add another finger, feeling her tense slightly as her body adjusted, before I continue to tease, she seems to like the added pressure, moaning harder and faster for me as I build the speed a little more. She grips my hair with one hand while her other hand slips to my boxer shorts, sli
I had walked from Evelyn’s room with the weight of the world on my shoulders. Why would she not give us the time together we needed to try to resolve all of this? If this prophecy was in fact written about us, then we had to work together to decide how best to work on this. Create some sort of a resolution. Instead all we seemed to do was anger her, though perhaps my behaviour was a little out of character… I cannot describe the feelings this is bringing to me, the constant pressure on my mind at the thought of having to share her with two other men. It turns my stomach. You were always raised to believe the matebond was sacred, that your mate belonged to you and you alone. That any relations outside of that matebond was sacrilege on the bond that our goddess created for you. And why would anybody want to do that to their mate? Though sadly many did. But I never thought that was right. I considered the matebond pure. Sacred. To be respected the way it was meant to be
Wow. Wow. Wow. That had been so good. Cayden was amazing in every sense of the word. His touch had sent me to places I never knew I could reach. His touch creating sensations I didn’t know existed. My mind well and truly blown. I would be making sure he spent more time in my bed… “Come on Ev” I hear his voice disturbing my thoughts of him, making me chuckle to myself. “Okay” I step from the bed with wobbly legs and follow him to the bathroom to shower. I am trying so hard not to look at his naked body, which he has already teased me for. But I don’t think I would ever get used to being comfortable walking around naked with him, or seeing him walking around naked with me. ‘He looks good though’ Orla’s voice is suddenly there within my mind, making me want to giggle. ‘Look at that nice tight butt. Perfect for pinching. Or even better biting’ she is giggling, and I am having to bite my lip to stop myself giggling at what she is suggesting. Seems my wolf is a litt
I awoke the next morning, cosy and warm in my bed, but I was terrified to find a heavy pressure upon my chest. My heart was pounding, as I struggled to open my sleepy eyes. It was only as I had eventually pried my sleepy eyes open that I realised Cayden was laid next to me in bed. The heavy pressure I felt was the weight of him half laid across my chest, his arm slung across me… I had no clue how he had ended up laid like that, he could not be comfortable, surely? Yet, that is how he was laid, and that is how he was sleeping. How had I forgotten he was in bed with me? My new mate. That had to be one of the best night’s sleep I have ever had. Until he had decided to try to smother me with his weight, of course... Being snuggled up against him, tight within his arms had felt so good. I felt safe and I felt secure there, like I belonged. A feeling I had not felt since being a child. I did not want that feeling to end. Though, I have to say, right now, he was crushing me und
I had already mindlinked Cayden to let him know I was in the kitchen preparing breakfast. I wanted us all to sit and have breakfast together, talk things through before we went to see Ariella. She had returned my mindlink eventually at three am, much to my frustration. Why she had to wait until that time I had no clue. Especially when I had been struggling to go to sleep, with so much on my mind, and my wolf so unsettled too, it made sleep almost impossible to find. And I was just settling as her mindlink came through saying how glad she was I had finally opened my mind to her, and that she would be so happy to speak to us all. That we should come to see her as a group tomorrow. That she could not wait to meet this special she-wolf. This wonderful Luna that was blessed with the ability to calm the fires within the Alpha and to end the conflict of generations. I was about to reply to her, and the silly old bat blocked me! Cut off the link ability to me. I swear
I thought the atmosphere whilst sitting as we ate breakfast with Evelyn and her other two fated mates was awkward, but wow, the cold chill settling upon the room as Ariella had walked in was something else… I had just been offering to mindlink her as it seemed she had a mind-block on Jackson, which I have to say tickled me a little, because I could feel her link through the pack links, so that tells me I should be easily able to mindlink her. Which means he is likely correct in his assumption she was intentionally blocking him. And also in his guess it was more than likely to irritate him. She did not like the fact he ridiculed her gifts and made it clear in his beliefs, so I don’t think I can blame her. But still, the air within the room as she walked in here was unsettling… “Oh, how lovely.” Her voice cut through the room, as she stood at the doorway, Jackson had his back to the door so was unaware of her presence as she spoke. I tried not to smile as I sa
I sit in the kitchen of the packhouse wishing I was anywhere but there. The atmosphere in there was so tense you could cut it with a knife. Jackson had changed in the last day, I barely recognised him with the way he was acting. And it bothered me. ‘He wants his mate.’ Orla whispers within my mind. ‘Well acting like that he won’t be getting her.’ I respond, watching his snappy interaction with the seer. The two of them clearly do not get along. He may be the Alpha, but I do think he should be showing her some respect. I feel Cayden’s hand, faultlessly in mine. And Aiden is sat, as previously, taking everything in. I can only wonder what he is thinking of all of this. As I look to him, his green eyes meet mine and he raises his eyebrows at Jackson arguing and he smiles. I roll my eyes. And Aiden smiles once more, his whole face brightens as he smiles. See, he seems to be a little more accepting of the situation we are finding ourselves in, or if he isn’t he is hiding
