“No, but there are far more places within Winter for civilians, children, the infirmed to gather and be protected,” Bell countered. “Corrine and Fiona have already started the arrangements. Corrine asked me to help set up the standing clinics and assign staff to each location.”
Galen looked up at her, confused.
“The refugees set up here in Summer will soon be leaving for Winter. So will the civilians. All the allied packs will send their vulnerable people to Winter in the next few weeks.”
“I haven’t heard anything about this,” Galen stated.
“I brought the idea to Corrine and Axel a couple of weeks ago. Corrine told Fiona, and they have worked out most of the details themselves.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about it?” Galen asked.
Bell smiled and gave Galen an amused look.
“You were busy working on filling the gaps in the security system and secretly accessing your Summer files to rearrange schedules and submit orders.”
Galen’s eyes widened.
“Yes, puppy, I know you’ve been burning the candle at both ends. Taking care of our family, helping Winter, and doing as much as possible for Summer.”
Galen sighed and rubbed his neck.
“I wasn’t trying to keep it a secret from you, exactly,” he said. “I just… I needed to do something. Alexander and Fiona are great, and they handle a lot more than they need to… but something always falls through the cracks.”
“That’s why you need to be here, Galen,” Bell smiled. “Summer is the center of the war effort. Things will only get worse from here on out and you can’t coordinate the things you need from Winter.”
Galen lowered his head and swallowed.
Bell reached over, holding his face between her hands. She made him look at her. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears.
“I don’t want to be apart,” she whispered. “I hate the idea of not going to sleep with you every night and waking up to you every morning.”
Galen’s vision began to blur as the tears gathered in his eyes. He sniffled as he listened to her.
“But,” she smiled sadly. “We each have our place in this war. Yours is on the battlefield, and mine is with the wounded.”
Galen pulled Bell into his arms, holding her tight as the tears fell from his eyes. He had known for months that this moment would reach them eventually. But he wasn’t prepared for it.
All he wanted was to stay with her and keep them safe. But he knew, just like Bell did, that he wasn’t the kind of man who could just sit back and protect his own family while other families were destroyed.
He was a soldier, and she was his wife. Yet, somehow, she was more prepared for this moment than he ever could be, and he loved her that much more for it.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered.
Bell shook her head and held him tighter.
“Don’t be sorry,” she whispered. “Just come back to me.”
***
Galen woke to find that it was still dark out. He carefully pulled away from Bell to get out of bed without waking her. He got up and grabbed himself a glass of water.
As he moved back toward the bed, he passed the two tv trays with the uneaten food. But this time, he noticed something that he hadn’t seen earlier. On one of the trays was a manilla envelope.
Curiosity got the better of him, and he looked inside. He pulled out a small stack of papers, residential papers.
“It’s a small house at the edge of the residential district. Three bedrooms, one and a half bathrooms.”
Galen looked back at the bed. Bell was propped up on one elbow, the sheets pulled up just below her naked breasts. She smiled at him.
“A house?” he asked.
Bell nodded.
“You applied for a house? Here?” he asked.
Bell laughed and nodded.
“I told you; this is our home. We will get through this war and have a beautiful life together, here, in Summer.”
Galen felt the warm swelling in his chest. He smiled and set the papers back on the table, hurrying to the bed.
Bell smiled up at him as he pulled the sheet away and slipped under it with her.
Galen gently pushed her back onto the bed as he climbed on top of her. He leaned forward and kissed her throat. His hand moved down along her ribs as his lips moved gently over her shoulder and to her clavicle.
“I love you,” he whispered against her chest.
“I… love you too….” Bell whispered back as she let out soft pants.
Galen moved his mouth over her chest as his hand continued to explore her body, gently squeezing here and there. Bell let out soft moans at every change.
At the curve of her hip, he pinched her gently while he took her nipple between his lips and swirled his tongue around it.
Bell moaned and arched her back. The feeling of his hot, wet mouth around her nipple sent a heat coursing through her system.
His hand moved down along the dip of her thigh until he found what he was looking for. His fingers gently traced the warm flesh of her opening. Bell gasped as he teased her.
Galen pulled his mouth away from her breast and moved to kiss her. Bell reacted to him immediately. His tongue slipped into her open mouth, and again she arched her back, pressing his fingers into her wet folds.
Galen growled against her mouth. Finally, he couldn’t wait any longer. He pulled his hand away and spread her legs apart.
Bell wrapped her arms around his neck, keeping his mouth on hers as she felt the tip of his spear lining up to take her. The anticipation already threatened to push her over the edge. But, after the numerous times he had already had her this night, her body was well prepared for him.
Galen pushed himself inside her; they both moaned as he pressed against her walls. Once he had filled her up, Bell wrapped her legs around his waist, forcing him to push deeper into her.
Knowing she wanted him with the same fire he wanted her, he did not hold back. Instead, Galen moved in and out with powerful thrusts. Bell cried out but never let go of her hold on him.
Each thrust felt like he was reaching deeper and deeper. The sounds she made, the panting and moaning, urged him to push harder and faster until she cried out. He felt her walls contracting around him, and then he could no longer hold in his own release.
Together they howled out their pleasure, and once they had recovered, they started again.
“Send another unit to assist Grey Paw and find out if there have been more sightings of the fae creatures,” Alexander stated.
“Yes, my Alpha.”
Alexander nodded to the men and women gathered at the table.
“Let’s adjourn for tonight,” he said as he stood from his place at the head of the table. “We will meet again in the morning to discuss the relocation of the refugees.”
“Yes, my Alpha!’ the men and women shouted in unison.
Alexander raised his hand in acknowledgment and left the room.
As he made his way down the hall, he clenched his jaw and took deep breaths through his nose. His heart was pounding heavily in his ears, and he could feel the sweat on his brow as he hurried up the stairs toward his office.
He entered and quickly closed the door behind him, taking heavy breaths as he moved further into the room. Alexander suddenly felt like the air was getting thicker and more difficult to swallow. He tore at the top buttons of his shirt, finding momentary relief.
As he reached his desk, Alexander let go of his strength for just a moment, falling forward against the edge of the table. He caught himself, but his breathing was ragged. His skin was on fire, his muscles tensed up suddenly, and he let out a shuddering breath as his body ached for the hunt.
There was a desperate howl in his mind, a needful hunger that threatened his sanity.
Alexander wondered how much longer he could hold himself together.
The door opened.
Alexander quickly tried to pull himself together.
“Hey, I’m running late to meet Bell at the restaurant, but I just needed to confirm one more thing with you”” whoa,” Galen said as he looked up to see the dark look in Alexander’s eyes, the strain of his body. “Are you ok?”
Alexander growled and clenched his jaw.
“Oh, I’ve seen that look before….” Galen said, remembering the first full moon that Alexander and Selene were near each other and having to chain his Alpha to a wall. It was not a pleasant memory for him.
Galen looked carefully at Alexander. It was clear that he was struggling. He looked barely in control of his own actions.
“What the hell is going on, Alexander? You and Selene have already been mated; the full moon shouldn’t have this kind of effect on you anymore,” Galen commented with concern.
Alexander gripped the edge of his desk so hard, even the sound of the wood splintering could be heard by Galen.
“What do you need, Galen….” Alexander growled through gritted teeth.
Galen felt the need to push the issue further. Still, Alexander was unwilling to share the problem, and Galen had promised Bell a romantic dinner. He didn’t want to break that promise.
He took a deep breath and held up the documents in his hand.
“These are from the hospital. They have given all the children a clean bill of health. There are some nutritional concerns, and each child has been recommended counseling, but otherwise, they are all quite healthy.”
“Good,” Alexander replied.
His voice was strained, and Galen could still see that his hands were gripping the desk so tightly that either it or Alexander was bound to break.
Galen swallowed and continued his report.
“Also, Alice has been steadily improving and was released to”
“What?” Alexander interrupted, turning with wild eyes to face Galen.
Galen unconsciously took a step back.
