“I’m sorry you have to see me like this,” I say softly, knowing my bruised face is a reminder to him of what he considers an inability to protect me.
“Don’t you dare apologize for what that piece of shit did to you,” he growls. I can tell he’s barely able to hold on to his anger at Simon. But more than that is his anger at himself for not keeping me safe.
I reach up and stroke his cheek. “I knew you’d come for me,” I say.
His eyes return to mine, a bit softer this time. “I would never have stopped until I found you.”
“I know. I basically told Simon that,” I say smiling. He smiles a bit too, gently taking the washcloth and running it over my face.
“I heard. Farrah heard part of your conversation with him. Were you trying to piss him off?” he asks, his smile not reaching his eyes.
“I only told him the truth, that you’re the strongest man I’ve ever met and yet, you’re still somehow compassionate and loving…and I might have taunted him by starting to tell him about how good you felt inside me,” I say, cupping water in my hand and pouring it on his chest.
The hand that was washing me, stops.
“You said what?”
I shrug. “He could never be the man you are and he needed to know that.”
He gently tilts my head up to look at him. This time, there’s a bit of a smile in his eyes. “I would say next time let’s not taunt your kidnapper so that they hit you hard enough to knock you out, but there will never be a next time that someone gets to you so it doesn’t matter.”
“I was only telling the truth. You did feel amazing inside of me,” I say, looking up at him through my lashes.
I shift so that I’m straddling him as I continue to run the washcloth over his body. He watches me as his hands begin to stroke over my breasts in a way that’s more than just bathing. I let my head fall back, enjoying the feel of Warren’s hands on me.
We continue bathing each other and the more I touch him, the more my need for him grows.
I can feel his need for me growing underneath me as well, until finally I can’t take it anymore. I lift up and slide myself onto his length, hissing at the sting. We’ve only been together the one night and my body isn’t exactly used to this. But need him and the feeling of him filling me is more than worth the moment of pain.
Warren pushes up out of the tub and stands, grabbing a towel as he walks us to the bedroom. “Did you need something, my beautiful, sassy-mouthed mate?” he asks, kissing me gently.
“I need you, Warren. I need you right now,” I say to him, beginning to feel desperate in my need for him.
He lays me on the bed, somehow managing to stay inside me, then settles himself over top of me, his arms on either side of my head, as his fingers gently caress my cheeks.
“I’ve never felt fear like that before, Yara,” he says as he begins to move slowly inside of me. “I don’t ever want to feel fear like that again. You are so precious to me. I waited so long for you and all I could think about was that I didn’t protect the greatest treasure I’ve ever been given.”
I pull my legs up, wrapping them around him, needing to feel closer to him, needing to feel him deeper inside me.
“Oh course you did, Warren. I’m here, aren’t I?”
“I should have…” he begins but I put my fingers on his mouth, stopping him.
“Don’t second guess yourself. I know you would never intentionally put me in harm’s way. What you did, you did because it felt like the right decision at the time, a time when you were in the middle of fighting two, maybe three Alphas and their packs at once. If I don’t get to apologize for What Simon did, you don’t get to apologize for making the best decisions you could in the heat of the moment.”
“Goddess, I love you, Yara,” he says, leaning in to kiss me. This time, he isn’t so gentle, and I meet his passion with my own. My hands are everywhere, not able to get enough of him, not able to get close enough to him. I can tell he feels the same and as he pushes us through one orgasm, and he doesn’t stop, needing more, desperate for more, just like I am.
I have no idea how many hours go by, how many times we mark each other, or how many orgasms we have when he finally pulls out and collapses beside me, pulling me against him and wrapping his arms around me.
I sigh, feeling peace settle between us. I know that will change soon.
Simon is still out there, an he will die for what he did. But right now, tonight, my mate and I are together and happy.
I’ve just about fallen asleep when I feel the bed shake and hear what sounds like a roar. I jolt, looking up at Warren.
“What was that?” I ask him.
He smiles, kissing my nose. “I do believe our Beta couple is now officially marked and mated.”
Noelle
When Charlie left, going to find Alpha Warren, I’d realized something very important. If he didn’t return, I’d be devastated.
I’ve watched him tirelessly run this pack while Alpha Warren has been gone. He’s strong, but fair, allowing Quinton’s pack members to remain here until Warren can decide if he’ll accept them into the pack. He’s a better Alpha than Thomas ever was, and he’s not even an Alpha.
I haven’t had time to join the pack with everything going on, so I don’t have a mind link to make sure that my mate is safe. And he is my mate, he is everything I have ever wanted in a mate, and so much more. And now that I’ve made my decision to accept him, I want to make official right now.
Of course, that’s not an option. The pack is in chaos, our Alpha and Luna are gone and now our Beta is gone. I may be the unofficial Beta female, but without a pack link, I’m useless to assist.
The same is true for my sister. With Haynes acting as Alpha, she could help him if they were marked and mated, but they aren’t yet either and like me, there’s been no time for her to join this pack. We haven’t even had a minute to talk about whether or not she will, although I’ve seen her staying close to Haynes, so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.
“You okay?” Laney asks me. I’ve just returned from the hospital, looking over Bradley and the other warriors who were injured by Simon. Most of them have healed and are back to normal, but a handful and definitely Bradley will take longer. I’m hoping we find Yara sooner rather than later so we can make sure he’ll heal properly.
“Yeah, I just…” I look at my sister. She’s always been my protector. She’s a great sister and I love her dearly, but I’m not sure how she’ll feel about me taking Charlie as a mate. He’ll become my protector then. Her whole life she’s protected me and now, I won’t need her to. Maybe then she can focus on her own mate.
“T’m ready for Charlie to mark me,” I tell her.
She raises an eyebrow and smiles at me. “Is that so, Beta?” she asks me.
I laugh. “Yes, that’s so. What do you think?” Her opinion has always been important to me.
“I’m not sure you could have been mated to anyone more perfect for you. Beta Charlie is a good guy and a great leader. This pack isn’t like what our old pack was like. This, what they have here in this pack, starts at the top. You, my dearest sister, will only add to that.”
Her praise made me feel better. When Charlie returned, he let us know that he’d found Alpha Warren and Luna Yara was safe, and he sent Haynes and a hunting party that included Laney, out to find Simon. But my mate was exhausted. I’d gone upstairs to the bedroom we share and talked to him while he showered. When he’d gotten out of the shower, I’d felt my body responding to his naked one. It’s a feeling I’ve never had with another person, this intense desire to be with someone.
That’s the mate bond,’ Beatrix, my wolf, says. ‘That and our mate is one sexy man,’ she purrs. Charlie looks up at me and smiles. “Like what you see?”
“I definitely do, but you need sleep.”
“Mmm, I’m not feeling so tired now. Come lay down with me.”
I did, and my mate was asleep almost before his head hit the pillow. So I snuggled against him and fell asleep too.
