“Tell me why you are leaving again?” Callan asked, stroking my arm as I stood at the kitchen counter making us dinner.
“You know why I am leaving.” I stated, cutting up the onions as I spoke. “Maria is having a hard time adjusting. I know she hasn’t told Michael, but there has been more than one she-wolf who has been extremely rude to her. The adjustment is really hard on her right now.” I put the knife down and turned to face Callan. He pulled me close to him as I turned around and I could feel his hardened length on my hip. The silver and gold specks in his eyes swirled and his navy blue eyes deepened in color.
The urge to kiss him became too overwhelming and I pulled his face down to mine, never tiring of the feel of his tongue on mine. I ran my hands down his chest and did not stop as my hand slid down inside of Callan’s shorts. He had been preparing to run a quick patrol before dinner, so he was only wearing a t-shirt and loose fitting shorts.
I d
I laughed the entire way up to our room, Callan’s hand on my ass as he held me closely to his shoulder. My arousal was on clear display with the way I was laying on Callan’s shoulder. Lela was purring in my head as Callan carried me up the stairs.Entering the room, Callan closed the door behind us, the sense of urgency that had carried us up the stairs leaving him. He slowly placed me down on the bed and pulled the shirt over my head. He unhooked my bra and I let it slide off my arms. He pulled at my shorts and I gently lifted my hips off the be, allowing him to pull them off of me. I yanked down his shorts, letting him know that I wanted him to take them off, which he quickly obliged me and took them off, followed by his tank top. I loved the feeling of his skin on mine. Even if we didn’t make love, I would often ask Callan to sleep naked next to me. The feel of his skin on mine was calming and had been helpful with my anxiety, especially in the immediate
We piled our bags in the SUV. Nathan helped Elder Rosemarie in the SUV before opening the door for Jennifer. Callan pulled me against the passenger door, caging me against it, burying his head in the crook of my neck. I felt him inhale deeply before capturing my lips with his. He kissed me deeply and I could feel his lips on mine even after the kiss had ended. As we drove away, I expected to see Callan following behind us in another car. I looked around, confused when I did not see another car pull away. I turned to speak to Elder Rosemarie when I spotted Rollo running along the car. Since we were still on pack lands, the driving was slow and Rollo was easily keeping up. Callan had planned out our route so that we avoided the major interstate. Callan thought that the major interstate provided too much exposure to risk. I also think that he wanted to stick to local highways so that he could run alongside of us, seeing that he was currently running along the side of th
“Maria!” I yelled as I got out of the car. She looked excited to see me, but I could feel the worry that was present. Pulling her in for a hug, the worry was clear. I was afraid that it was worse than Lizzie let on.“I am so glad you are here.” She whispered, hugging me more closely. Michael came around from the other car, carrying my bag. Maria broke our hug and moved to greet Michael. His entire face lit up as she approached, and he quickly pulled her to him, kissing her. It was clear that they cared very deeply for each other, so there must be something pretty significant if they had not completed the Luna Ceremony.Jennifer and Nathan made their way around the cars, Jennifer dropping her bag when she saw Maria. She ran to her, both girls embracing in a hug. It was clear from Jennifer’s reaction in the car that Maria had not been as forthcoming with Jennifer about what was going on with Michael and the pack. It wasn’t
ALPHA MICHAEL POVI followed Raina to the office. I knew where this conversation as going to go and anything that she said to me I am sure that I would deserve. I fucked up. I knew that. I used to think t it was fun to sleep around. Hell, I couldn’t even begin to guess how many women I had slept with over the last few years. Although Maria told me that several of the she-wolves were offering up their opinions about that number. And it was far from flattering.I made a lot of bad choices. You would think that having a crazy woman in your bed once or twice would cause you to learn a thing or two, but I never did. Not after a human woman hunted me down at a bar after a one-night stand. Not after I slept with a third pack member, and she kept showing up in my office. Not even after one of them threatened to cut off my dick. Nope. None of those made me change my ways.Callan had learned. He slept with a lot fewer she-wolves than I did, but he learned. Once a sh
“Wake up!” Lizzie yelled, entering the room and jumping on the bed. “We need to get planning!”I groaned and pulled the pillow over my head. “What time is it?” I asked. If I had to bet, I would say that it was way too early to be up.“7:00. We have more time to plan this one then we did yours, but that doesn’t mean that we need to wait around. You need to get up so we can get started!” Lizzie yelled in her typical loud fashion, which I found that I missed more than I realized since she had moved to live with Derrick.“Who is the event planner?” I asked, hoping that it wasn’t one of the she-wolves from yesterday.“Her name is Missy. She is amazing and loves Maria. They had actually already started planning but there is still a lot to figure out.” Lizzie started pulling me out of bed as she spoke, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her. I was even more thankful fo
Part 2 Chapter 7 The girls got in the car, not specifically noticing the threat. It wasn’t a strong scent, but at least one rogue was clearly in the area. I looked back at Beta Davis and Clark. They both seemed to be alerted to the rogue in the area. “Beta Davis?” I turned back towards him, thankful that the girls were in the car already. Lizzie caught my eye, and I knew that she was also aware of the threat. I was thankful that even though we couldn’t mind-link anymore, that we still had a strong connection, and she knew the importance of keeping the girls occupied. “Alpha Michael is sending a patrol. The scent isn’t strong, but there has clearly been a rogue here.” Beta Davis directed Clarke to check the area around the building. “Raina, I am going to take you all back to the packhouse. Please stay inside until we are sure the threat is addressed.” “Of course. How would they know I was here?” I asked, not certain how the rogues would know where I wa
The bed slowly dipped in, rousing me from my sleep. I didn’t need to open my eyes to know that it was my mate joining me in bed. I finally opened my eyes, noting that it was still dark outside. Callan pulled me closer to him.“What time is it?” I asked, knowing that it was too early in the morning.“4 am,” Callan grumbled, his nose in my neck as he inhaled deeply.I turned and looked at him, surprised by the time. “Did you get any sleep?”He peppered kisses along my jaw. “I went to sleep after we mind-linked last night, but I woke up just a few hours later. I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I decided to come here. Rollo and I made it in about four hours.”I sighed and threw my head back on the pillow. I missed Callan greatly over the last few days.“What time are you supposed to be meeting with Michael to speak with the rogue?” He asked, running his hand across my stomach
I made my way back to the packhouse. As I walked, I noticed the progress in setting up for the ceremony. Three tents had been set up. There were lights being strung from each of the tents as I walked by. Flower arrangements were already placed around each tent. One tent was set up with chairs and a small table at the front, which was where the Luna Ceremony would take place. The other two tents were set up with a DJ booth, dance floor, two long buffet tables, and other tables and chairs for sitting and eating.I entered the kitchen. It was 10:00. The rest of the girls would be here at 11:00 to start getting ready for the Luna Ceremony. I decided that this bit of down time would be a good opportunity to process what happened with Lela. I have found it to be very useful to talk things through with Lela whenever we have used our abilities, whether it be using it simply, like I had done with Maria, or using it more substantially like I had just done with the rogue.I
