Filed To Story: Sorry Alpha I Am Wolfless Novel
“You’re going to have to let me go at some point.” I laughed.
“Nope, ain’t gonna happen.” He laughed right back at me.
“Well, will you let me go long enough to take a bath?” I smirked as I tried to pull away.
“No, I’ll just go with you.”
At those words Joaquin threw the blankets back and stood. The air didn’t really feel chilly or cold to me. What felt cold was the absence of his body next to mine. But he just turned, put one knee on the bed and picked me up in a princess carry with an arm under my knees and the other around my shoulders.
He held me close against him and I snuggled his chest as he walked toward the bathroom.
“Joaquin, where are we?” I asked, as I realized this place was not in our home.
“We’re at the pack house of another alpha. He helped me to find you, I owe him a lot.”
“Where?” I emphasized that part of my question.
“Black Canyons.”
“They took me that far?” I felt my eyes pop. “They went through a lot to get to me.” I mumbled.
“I didn’t care if they took you to the moon, I would have found a way to get you back.” His words made me smile as I buried my face against him.

Joaquin pushed the door to the bathroom open with his shoulder and walked in without hesitation. I was growing more nervous by the second. He carried me over to the tub and set me down on my feet next to it.
“Want to sit on a towel to wait?” He asked me.
“No, I’m capable of standing for a few minutes.” I answered defiantly. I wasn’t that weak, even though I could feel the pain flare up in my legs when he set me down. My muscles were definitely sore.
I watched as he turned the hot water on. He added a light scented soap that seemed to be the only one in the room. After he tested the water with his hands he turned back toward me with his hands outstretched.
“Joaquin, I’m not an invalid.”
“I know that.” He grinned at me as he scooped me up. “But I have a lot of time to make up for.” He was chuckling as he stepped into the water with me in his arms.
The tub in this bathroom wasn’t nearly as big as the one in my bathroom back home. It was a bit narrower, more actual tub shaped but still built into the floor like mine. It also didn’t seem to be quite as deep as mine. But it was still too deep compared to me though.
The depth didn’t seem like it was going to pose a problem though, as Joaquin sat me down on his lap, facing away from him, when he sat down in the tub. He wrapped his arms around me again for a gentle hug, but since they went around the front this time, it felt a lot more intimate.
After a few moments Joaquin started stroking my back, gently. I picked up another wave of the soft smell of the soap.
“What are you doing?” I asked him in disbelief.
“Washing you. I started with your back, did you want me to start somewhere else?” I felt the purr like rumble of his laugh as it vibrated through his body into mine. The feeling made me shiver.
“You know I can wash myself right.”
“I know. But I want to do it. Is there a problem?” His hands moved up my back to my shoulders. Then he massaged the back of my neck and shoulders gently with small circles, the sensation was amazingly relaxing. I let out an involuntary moan of pleasure as he nimbly moved his fingers along my skin.
“Does that feel good Little Bunny?” He asked me, a hint of triumph in his voice.
“Mhmm. It’s helping with the pain I’m still feeling.”
“I’ll give you a better massage later.”
“I won’t say no to that.” I let my head fall back against him, his fingers making me feel weak and relaxed.
After he finished his massage of my shoulders, he lathered more soap in his hands and massaged gently down both my arms at the same time. Kneading the tense muscles and washing me at the same time.
He lathered again and ran his hands gently across my chest. Soft, gentle circular motions, that was how he moved his hands, across my chest and lower as he moved to my belly button.
When he leaned forward to reach toward my legs, it pressed his chests against my back. The pressure of his body pushing against mine that fully made the sharp pains flare again. I could feel a shadow of whips lashing against me.
“Ahh!” I cried out almost instantly causing Joaquin to pull back.
“What’s the matter? Are you alright? Did I hurt you?” His voice was full of panic as he ran his hands over me hesitantly.
“I’m still just really sore, that’s all. I don’t know if it is from the shift or from before. Whichever one it is though, I still hurt all over.”
“I’m sorry Bunny, I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
“You didn’t, I was already hurt.” I interrupted him.
“But I made it worse.” He rested his head on my shoulder and spoke pitifully.
“Shut up.” I snapped at him.
“What?” He cried out in surprise sitting up. I quickly, and carefully, turned myself around so that I was facing Joaquin. I straddled his legs and placed my hands on his shoulders.
“Listen Joaquin. I am happy that we are properly together now, that we’re moving past all that bullshit from the beginning-.”
“I know, I-.”
“Stop.” I cut him off just as he interrupted me. “Let me talk, you just zip it and listen for now, I think I’ve earned that. Don’t you?” He nodded his head to answer my question. “Good. Now, listen to me, and listen good, I know you didn’t mean to hurt me just now. In fact, it wasn’t you that hurt me, it was five psychotic Warlocks, four of which are already dead.”
“Still one got away-.”
