This morning I felt alive. Like nothing was wrong in the world anymore. Erik and I have grown closer to each other, we’ve even discussed moving the mating process sooner. Don’t get me wrong, fooling around and making out sessions are very tempting and make it hard to resist the urge to take him right there. But this morning.. I’ve never felt more complete. Sitting in our bed covered in blankets that smell like him and snuggling all the pillows that feel like sleeping on a cloud. Rolling over to my right side hugging Erik’s pillow under my head I watch the sun come up through the cracks of the curtains. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to this, looking over on the nightstand I see a cup with a note.
Good morning pup, please enjoy this cup of your favorite tea! I’m will be busy today but please meet me in my office after breakfast
Love: your mate Er
I wasn’t sure if I should be mad or feel bad for Rome. He has a daughter out there that he hasn’t seen in a very long time. I’d love to help him but I don’t even know where to begin. I hope Erik has some ideas for my father. I mean that makes some sense of why he acts the way he is, loss like that can really hurt someone. Drive them to do things they shouldn’t.“ Do you feel bad for him?” Erik asked, kissing me on the cheek as I did my makeup.“ I don’t think I feel bad for him, I mean I don’t know. I really do want to help him find his daughter I have no idea where to start” I shrugged putting on my mascara“ We need to try and get more information out of Rome, where exactly he last saw them. Search the area now to see they co
“ hello?” I said trying to hear what the other person was saying“ I can hear you. Who is this?” She sighs. The noise in the background made her voice sound far away.“ Is this Alora?” I asked. I can tell she went silent on the other end with only the sound of her heavy breathing coming in.“Who is this?” Her voice sounded deeper as if she’s afraid.“ This is Briella, I'm calling for Rome. He’s worried about you.” I rush out hoping she can hear me through all the music. Next thing I know the phone clicks and she hangs up.Shit. Rome what have you done? Groaning, I rub my forehead with my hand.
Erik POVFinding out we have to interrogate one of the wolves I helped years ago made my stomach turn. I know it shouldn’t be such a big deal but going over her case and why we helped her go into hiding makes me feel like this is going to be harder than I thought. The man we helped her escape was named James Rome. We didn’t kill the ones they hid from or wanted to get away from because then we would have a bigger problem on our hands. Hearing the name Rome had to have freaked her out. We promised she wouldn’t have to worry about hearing from him ever again. I’m not sure if he’s the same guy, I wouldn’t be surprised though. I’ve learned with Briella that anything could be possible. Rome refused to speak to me directly without Briella in the room. I didn’t understand why at first until Andrew explained that he can tell through their connection if
Rome POVThey told me they are still alive.. I’ve searched for her for years. I didn’t give up on her, I gave up on hope. I know they don’t trust me because of what I’ve done in the past to Briella. But I can’t ignore this feeling I got when I was around her. I don’t have a mate, I wasn’t gifted with one that I know of. I’m 45 years old and leaving them was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. It was a cold Wednesday night when I left. I lied to them.. I spoke to my father that night. He called me and told me that I had to meet him ASAP that there was an emergency at the pack. With Alora being human I never took her to the pack with me. My fathers rules were strict, pack members weren’t allowed to fraternize with humans. Bringing her and my half human daughter back to the pack would cause more harm than good. So I left them. But le
Briella POV “ Would you stop poking me??” “ I wouldn’t be poking you if you’d just pay attention!” *slap fights* “BOYS!!” I yelled, making them immediately stop. “ what’s going on??” Questioning them was probably the worst thing I could have done. Honestly these two could be fighting about the stupidest thing that listening to them trying to explain will make my brain hurt. “ You know what, never mind. Matt I need you to go get me coffee please and then come back here because I have some business to discuss with you” I command him to get up bowing his head. But couldn’t leave the room before punching Andrew in the shoulder.
Rubbing my eyes from the bright sun beaming in through the window. Erik left the bed early this morning. This made me angry, we haven’t had the chance to speak about him lying to me. The Luna ceremony is in three days. How are we supposed to finish the deal (if you know what I mean), if we are fighting?” Rolling my eyes at myself loathing, I roll out of bed pushing myself up to my feet. Rubbing my eyes more, I make my way to the bathroom. Yawning, I cut the light on blinking my eyes a couple of times. Cutting on the shower while I wait for it to heat up I brush my teeth. Finishing off with mouthwash, I strip down and get in the shower. Skipping all the usual pampering I just wash my body and hair. Stepping out I dried off with the towel that was already on the shower door. Wrapping my hair up in it, I walk over to the dresser pulling out a pair of distressed blue jeans and red laced top. I don’t enjoy wearing stuff like this but it&r
Last night? I don’t even know how to explain last night. Any fairy tale you would be hearing me say it was magical.. the best night of my life. But honestly it was painful, But pleasurable nonetheless. I can still feel his lips on my inner thighs and the way his hands lifted me and traced every inch of my body. I’ve never felt something so stimulating before. He brought out a side of myself I didn’t know existed. Running my fingers against the soft texture of the blanket I keep my eyes close trying to keep the images of last night alive. Taking in a deep breath slowly, I open my eyes again. Moving my hand slowly up the blanket and to my neck. We marked each other last night. My mother always tried her hardest to explain to me how painful it will be because I’m not connected with my wolf like most. Tracing my fingers over the already scabbed over mark, it didn’t hurt as much as she said. Maybe it’s because we mixed p
Taking our seats in my office I couldn’t help but enjoy how I’m in charge right now. “ okay spill” I announce, sighing crossing my arms against my desk “ So we have spoken to Alora and she’s okay with us going and visiting her but she’s requesting only Erik and you go only.” Andrew explained standing next to the men sitting in the chairs. I had Erik bring in one from his office because there wasn’t enough in here for our guests. “ Did she say why she only wanted the two of us?” Turning on my desktop I decided to make notes of this meeting myself. For her to only want the two of us to come and talk to her, I have a feeling something bad is going on. But what I don’t understand is why she trusts me. I wasn't in the picture when Erik saved her.
