“No. I was trying to get Tanya untangled.”
Actually, Maddox glanced in the direction from where the light came, thinking that a submarine or something like that was nearby, and he saw two figures, but then he focused his attention on untangling Tatiana. By the time he freed Tatiana from that kelp, the light was gone and he was in a hurry to get to the surface.
It was time to get out of the boat, and Tatiana raised her arms up toward Maddox, like a child who wants to be carried.
Maddox hesitated. When Tatiana said that she wants him to hold her, he thought of holding hands, or maybe supporting her under her arm, but now it seemed that Tatiana wanted to be princess-carried. She was wearing only a bikini. That will be a lot of skin-to-skin contact and his swimming trunks won’t be able to conceal his erection. What if he gets carried away and goes for a kiss? Will that earn him another slap?
“Can’t you walk?”, Maddox asked.
“My legs are shaky.”, Tatiana responded.
Maddox glanced at the people in the boat who suddenly all looked up or around while avoiding eye contact.
Kalina smiled a little. Her willful sister would always find the strength to show how she can do things on her own, yet now she was pretending to be weak. It seemed that Tatiana forgave Maddox, at least a little bit, but now they faced a problem of Maddox being dense because he asked warriors if they have a stretcher.
“What stretcher!?”, Mindy hissed. “Just pick up Tanya and carry her. It will be faster. The pack hospital is ten minutes away…”
“Five minutes”, Maya chimed in quickly before Maddox could come up with another way to avoid carrying Tatiana.
Kalina confirmed that Maddox was the only one who didn’t get what Tatiana was trying to do. The best thing would be to give them privacy. With Tatiana not pushing Maddox away, they would get together sooner or later, as long as the conditions were right. No one can resist the pull of the mate bond.
“Is there a need for all of us to go to the hospital?”, Kalina asked.
“Not really.”, Jaeden said and looked around. “Do you want to head back to the beach, or to the packhouse?”
“Packhouse.”, Axel said right away. He heard that Dayson and Talia went there, and he was eager to talk to Talia.
Except for Jaeden who went to accompany Maddox and Tatiana to the hospital, the rest headed to the packhouse. The day was eventful, and they decided to take it easy until dinnertime.
Maddox carried Tatiana stiffly while doing his best not to stumble.
He had no idea why she wanted him to carry her, and he was unable to think beyond his hard-on because she was wearing only a bikini and he was in his swim trunks, addictive sparks were dancing over his skin wherever they touched, and it was driving him mad.
He was sure that he will have a serious case of blue balls.
To make things worse, Tatiana snuggled into him, and he had to focus not touch her inappropriately.
After all, she called him a caveman who thinks only about sex and if she realizes how turned on he was, he will only confirm that.
Maddox wondered, at what point did he turn into a masochist? How can he be turned on in this situation?
Sure, Tatiana is a Goddess, and this was the most skin-to-skin contact he got from her, and her skin was smooth, and her scent of strawberries was delicious, and she had curves in all the right places, but still… he was not allowed to touch her beyond this carrying.
Maddox knew that Tatiana was playing some game again, and he had no idea what the game was, but he was painfully aware that he was failing miserably.
Maddox was glad that Jaeden was leading the way because Maddox didn’t need to think about the direction beyond simply following Jaeden.
Tatiana leaned onto Maddox completely and she pressed her palm against his firm pecs. She silently marveled his physique.
Every muscle on his body curved seductively, in a silent promise of many carnal pleasures.
How is it possible for a man to be so hard?
She never touched an Alpha before, and she knew that humans don’t compare to werewolves, but she thought that Alphas are only a bit more muscular than regular werewolves.
Tatiana wondered if he was bigger everywhere.
Tatiana’s face turned red when she realized that this was her mate, and soon she WILL find out how big he is down there.
Ah! Was she getting aroused?
Tatiana squirmed in Maddox’s arms.
Maddox cursed internally. It was already difficult to hold her like that and not go crazy, yet she started moving around and rubbing on him? What’s her problem?
“Are you alright?”
Tatiana reluctantly looked up to meet Maddox’s gaze and she could see the moment when his nostrils flared, and his eyes widened. Could he smell her arousal?
Tatiana swallowed hard. “I… I…” She was not sure what to say. Should she just tell him that she was fine and that she wanted to roll in the grass with him right there? They can tell Jaeden to scram.
“Jaeden!”, Maddox exclaimed. “Can we hurry up? Tanya is all red. I’m afraid something is wrong.”
Tatiana was not sure if she should laugh or cry. Maddox noticed that something was off with her, but instead of thinking that she wants him, he assumed she was ill. Before she could say anything, Maddox broke into a run.
This will be harder than she thought.
…
…
Jaeden entered the pack hospital first and spotted Travis waiting for them with four nurses by his side.
Jaeden explained that woman who nearly drowned was Maddox’s mate (aka soon-to-be Luna of the Blue River pack), and she was also the eldest sister of Kalina (aka the future Luna of the Lightclaw pack), and that she was a guest of the Shadow Fang pack.
With such a background, Travis knew that slightest negligence could cause unimaginable consequences, so Travis called a squad of warriors to be ready to ensure safety.
The image of Maddox walking into the pack hospital with Tatiana in his arms was impressive and everyone stopped to gape at them.
Maddow was tall and muscular, and Tatiana’s toned body matched him perfectly.
But more than their captivating visual, it was the majestic aura that spread around them. There was immense power with a hint of arrogance that told everyone Maddox and Tatiana were important individuals.
“Alpha Maddox, Miss Wilkow”, Travis greeted them respectfully. “I am Doctor Travis. We prepared a wheelchair…”
“No need.”, Tatiana interrupted him. “I want Max to carry me.” She really didn’t want to let go of him. Somehow, she could feel his discomfort and she feared that he might escape.
Maddox cocked an eyebrow at her. “How will they examine you like this?”
