“You want to tell me why your ass is all wound up tonight?” Cyrus mindlinks while our wolves are resting in the moon light. “I screwed up today. An enjoyable screw up, but a screw up. “What, you killed the asshole in the dungeon? Sorry I missed it.” “No, that’s not it. He didn’t talk. Nice toeg by the way. His, not yours.” “Thanks, I aim to please.” Cyrus chuckles through the link, but then he waits quietly, knowing I am serious. “I tried to let Ronan pull Ayla’s wolf out, but instead I kissed her. It was short, barely a second, but i backed away. She then proceeds to tell me it was her first kiss. I took that from her and she thanked me for it. I practically yell, frustration setting in again. “So you kissed her, she liked it and now you’re hanging out with me instead of seeing what she looks like naked?” What, do I need to give your the talk?” “Shut the hell up Cyrus. I screwed up. After everything thing she’s been through, I do this. It gives her something to be confused about, on top of all her trauma. Don’t even get me started on that. Alphas have been taking and taking from her. I don’t want to take.” “First off. you can’t compare yourself to them or what they did dipshit. She told you she liked it. She wouldn’t have told you anything if she was scared or confused. Secondly, she’s fine as hell. Perfection. Anyone spending time with her would be tempted.” Thatstatement earns him a snarl from Ronan. “THIRD, you two clearly have have a connection. You’ve been with her everyday. She trusts you. She doesn’t have to, but she does. You didn’t have to stick around after rescuing her. Anyone of us could’ve questioned her for you, but you wanted to. If you weren’t with her every day, patient with her, she would probably be huddled up in a corner somewhere, distraught and a risk to herself, but she’s not and that’s because of you.” “And what happens if I find my fated mate, my luna or she finds her mate? Then what? I don’t want to break her heart either.” “It’s already broken Thane. Like yours. Maybe you two help each other heal. If you find your mates, then you have a serious conversation but you would both be better versions of yourselves for your mates. OR, she finds her mate and you tear his throat out and claim her in his blood. Both are good options.”
I sigh and Ronan shakes our head, but he has some good points. “Take it day by day Thane. She’s spent years unable to plan for tomorrow anyway.” Werise up, deciding to head back to the pack house. It’s well after midnight by the time I get back to my room and get showered. I get ready for bed, exhausted from little sleep the past few weeks. I throw on some gray sweatpants and crawl into bed when I hear a faint groan. A few seconds later and I hear what sounds like kicking or thumping. Rising up out of bed I go to the door adjoing our rooms when I hear a faint whimper and fast breathing. I know I told Ayla her side was locked, but I didn’t tell her I have a master key. I quickly run over to my dresser, grabbing the key and gain entry to Aylas bedroom. Confusion sets in when I see an empty bed, with the bed covers on the ground. I hear another whimper when I kneel down to look under the bed, seeing little wolf in the throes of a nightmare. She’s whimpering and kicking her feet against the underneath side of the bed. Kicking quickly turns to thrashing.
“Little wolf, little wolf, ssshhh sshh it’s me. It’s Thane. Wake up Ayla. You’re safe. I need you to wake up.” I’ve got a hold of her shoulders, a gentle but firm grip. She’s no longer kicking, but still whimpering. “Little wolf wake up. It’s just a nightmare. You’re safe.” She slowly starts to blink her eyes open, breathing hard as she opens those beautiful teal eyes. Slight confusion takes over her face as she looks at me and then around to the underside of the bed. I can barely get half of my upper body under here, and now we’re pretzeled together. “It’s okay little wolf. Just a nightmare. He can’t get you anymore.” I reiterate to her and I watch her breathing start to slow. She grabs my wrist to the hand holding on to her shoulder and closes her eyes, taking in a large breath and letting it out slowly. She opens her eyes and for awhile, we just lay there, staring into each other’s eyes, waiting to see who is going to speak first.
Avla
“Can I get you out from under here little wolf? Thane asked me, breaking our moment of silence. I just stared at him with gratitude in my heart. He just helped me recover from a horrific nightmare. He seems to always find me when I need him. His deep green eyes staring deep into my soul, waiting for an answer. I nod my head “yes” and he slowly backs out from under the bed, pulling me with him. “Have you been sleeping under here on purpose little wolf?” I nod my head “no.” It isn’t really my intention to end up under the bed, but I involuntarily go there apparently when I am deep within a nightmare. He slid his thick arms under my legs and 1 wrapped my arms around his neck. His breath was hot on my cheek and caused me to blush. I had a deep longing for him and started to squeeze my thighs together, hoping he didn’t sense it. Thane lowered me down to the bed and stared down at me, eyes darting back and forth, taking in all of my features, studying me, seemingly imprinting this moment into his memory. I know I was.
He cleared his throat and released me, but he sat beside me on the edge of the bed and placed one hand on my thighs as I sat upright against the headboard. I suddenly felt embarrassed that I had woke him up and caused a scene. I started rubbing my hands together, my gaze staring at them like I was inspecting something important. “Ayla, don’t hide from me.” I looked up at him and he looked at me searching for something. What I don’t know. “Were you having a nightmare about the heat clinics again?” “I nodded yes, suddenly getting flashes of images from years of abuse. I am sure he could see the sadness and terror I felt written on my face. “I want to be there for you Ayla. When you need someone to remind you that you aren’t there anymore. I want to replace all of those horrible memories with new ones. You deserve that.” I looked at him with slight confusion. He has been there for me, I couldn’t have been here without him. He was my savior, in my eyes he could do anything. He leaned down and traced my jaw line with his fingers. I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch as he moved his hand up my cheek and into my hair. It felt so good to be touched in such a soft, gentle way. His warmth could soak into my bones and I would relish it forever.
“I am going to replace this nightmare with your proper first kiss little wolf, If you will let me?” I looked at him for a moment, my heart starting to race, which I am sure he could pick up on and then I nodded “yes.” That was all he needed before his lips were on mine. His hands threaded into my hair. His kiss was gentle, almost reserved, giving me the opportunity to pull away, but if I was getting my first real kiss, I was taking all of it. His mouth parted, and his tongue teased my lips. I gasped and he used the opportunity to entangle his tongue with mine. I wasn’t sure what I was doing, but he was leading and I was following. My nightmare no longer a thought. The kiss turned deep. I threaded my fingers through his soft, black hair. He grabbed the nape of my neck with one hand, the other cupping the side of my face. We kissed each other softly, patiently. I knew he was holding back, but I was grateful since I really had no idea what I was doing. Thane started placing my weight on my chest with his upper body, leaning into me. I could feel the strong, firm muscles of his chest against my breast. I was wearing only a night shirt and panties, and I am sure he could feel my nipples pebbling under him. My body having a strong reaction to his, one that I have never had before.
I place my hands on his chest, slightly digging my nails into his hard muscles, I want more of him, but I also know that I shouldn’t. He starts to pull away, probably sensing my anxiety starting to flare, but I grab him again, forcing myself to work through this. I don’t want to be a slave to my fear. I want to let him drive out this nightmare. I want to feel something good. Thane places his hand on my hip, right above the panty line and I can feel his thumb sliding back and forth on my skin. Goosebumps flare across my skin while. a shiver races through me. A soft caress, but he doesn’t go for more, doesn’t push me pass my limits. His thumb slides more to the right with each joining of our lips, closer to wear I am soaking wet for him and I let out a soft moan, surprising myself and Thane. My arousal is heavy in the air. I am sure Thane can scent it.
Thane starts to pull back again, and places his forehead on mine. We are both breathing. hard, almost panting. His eyes are flashing gold and full of lust. “I hope that passes as a proper first kiss little wolf?” He pulls away from me, short of breath and I lay there in a pool of my own arousal, staring at this gorgeous alpha before me. I smile, and he does the Same. His dimples deep, his perfect smile, chiseled jaw, unruly midnight black hair, deep green eyes. All of it. I just lay there taking in all of him. I am in awe that this gorgeous alpha gave something to me, without taking, without hurting.
“We better call this kiss quits little wolf, before you have anymore firsts tonight that neither of us can come back from.” The thoughts of all the firsts I could start with Thane come into my mind. I am aroused, but also confused. Could I do firsts without a complete and total breakdown? I just did this one. Maybe I should give myself more credit. “I also heard your moan little wolf. I know there is a voice in there and I intend to hear it. When you are ready. When you let me. Until then, lay down. You’re safe here.” He pulls the covers up and over my shoulders and starts tucking me in. My eyes are growing heavy, but I don’t want to look away from him. Thane starts to rub my hip over the comforter. “Go to sleep little wolf. I will keep all the monsters away.” and with that I drift off knowing that in this moment, I feel safe.
Thane
I stayed at little wolf’s bedside most of the night. She would have whimpers occasionally and I would need to soothe her back to sleep with calming caresses and gentle words, her never fully arousing. It became very apparent she isn’t getting enough rest. I would need to remedy that. I watched her sleep. Watching her pillow soft lips part, her white hair sprawled around her like a halo. I had to force myself to leave before I did something she would regret Kissing Ayla was amazing. She was akward at first, but quickly let her guard down and kissed me back with earnest. I felt a strong pull to her. Ronan did as well, but I felt no mate bond. No tether. The whole situation was confusing. Not to mention, I saw her notepal on her nightstand. I would have no idea why she thought herself a safety risk to the pack, unless it had to do with her old pack or the shifter ring. I was elated to see myself on the list as a reason to stay.
I could talk with the elders of the pack. Maybe they know of instances of pulls this strong without being fated, but I have never heard of it. I walk into my office for my meeting with Cyrus. We strategize and form a plan for our next raid. We have heard from our resources that a shifter ring is being ran out of a compound at the base of tri??eaks mountain. Rugged terrain and harsh climate would make the mission difficult. The thought of having to leave little wolf for a few days made my stomach crawl for some reason.
We had a pack run planned tonight for the full moon. I could invite Ayla. It might even help pull her wolf out, but the experience and pick itself could overwhelm her. I guess there is only one way to find out. Exiting the elevator, I head straight to Ayla’s rooms and knock. Of course she answers looking breath taking in an off the shoulder, deep purple sweater and black leggings. Her hair placed in a messy bun on top of her head, a few strands out framing her face. My dick nearly jumping at attention with the sight of her.
quickly clear my throat, trying not to linger my sight on her lips. Which she licks with her tongue. Damn it. This is harder than I thought. “Hello, little wolf. May I come in?” She slowly opens the door standing behind it to let me in, but closing it much quicker behind me. I do think I am making little wolf nervous which means am affecting her as much as myself because, instead of smelling fear mixed within her lavender scent, I smell her arousal and it’s intoxicating. I can feel Ronan pushing against my mental barrier, panting with lust. “There is a pack run for the full moon tonight Ayla. I would like to invite you.” My voice sounding huskies than normal. “I know you’re not ready to be with the others yet, but I can put you at the waterfall. I can run with the pack while you relax with the forest and get used to the scent of other shifters from the pack. It would help you when you meet them and when Iam done running, I can come back to you. You can meet Ronan. He is eager to meet you.
She gazes at me for a while, her face blushing before she nods her head yes in agreement. I lean down before I can think better of it and whisper into her ear “maybe we can explore another first for you little wolf.” I hear her breath hitch, with a sharp inhale and the sound goes straight to my dick. I need to get out of this room. “I will back tonight after your supper. I will send the pack out first, then come get you. The falls aren’t far from here. The others will know to stay clear from it.” She nods and her cheeks redden more at the thought of our upcoming solitude I’m sure. I know my thoughts are.
