I press the antiseptic pad to the cut above Lorcan’s eye. I know I don’t need to; it will heal within the next few minutes. But I can’t seem to stop myself.
I’m worried because he should have healed already. The fact he hasn’t healed tells me how severe those injuries are.
I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened had Lorcan been human.
‘He’d be dead; that’s what would have happened.’
‘Thank you, Lyra!’
I don’t want to hear it, so I cut her off.
Seeing Lorcan’s wolf fighting those rogues, seeing the dozens upon dozens of wolves attacking him, something in me snapped. I was so scared that I’d lose him, and I could barely contain myself.
Lo
“I killed someone today,” I lay my hand on Lorcan’s neck, feeling his pulse thumping against my fingertips. “But if I had to kill a thousand rogues to protect you, I would.”A smile creeps across Lorcan’s face. “Ditto, little wolf. Are you hurt anywhere? That rogue attacked you, and I doubt you were unscathed.”I shake my head. “It was nothing that isn’t already healed.”Lorcan lifts the shirt I’m wearing, making me laugh as he checks me for wounds. He tells me to turn around so he can check my back, and I laugh again.Once Lorcan is finished checking me over, he covers me with the shirt and pulls me closer between his legs.I wrap my arms around his neck while straddling his waist.I can feel his e
“It’s not that. It’s… Well, are you still planning on rejecting me?”Goddess, I feel sick!I gasp.Lorcan just tore my t-shirt in half!My mouth hangs open.Lorcan lifts me by the waist, pushes his shorts down his legs, and slams his cock into my willing pussy.Both of us cry out.I feel so full!I move my hips, but Lorcan grabs them, stilling me. “Don’t move,”“But,”“No,” He cuts me off with a kiss to my lips.“I amnever
“What are you doing up at this hour?”My father was the last person I expected to see in my kitchen at 3: AM.I should have spoken to my family earlier, but we fell asleep after Gianna and I had sex. We woke and showered only to fall right back to sleep again.I haven’t slept so deeply in a very long time. But with Gianna by my side, I slept like a baby.I figured I could talk to my family tomorrow, but I woke a few moments ago and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I got up for a glass of water.Suddenly, there’s a lot on my mind, and having my father in my house is stressing me out. He’s never stayed at Sliver Paw more than a night before now, and I can count the number on the one hand. Having my father here for over a week will prove difficult.
“It wasn’t your fault, Dad.”That was easier to say than I thought it would be.I breathe deeply through my nose.“I understand as a father; you feel responsible for what happened. I’ve thought many times about how things would have been different if we hadn’t saved Mum. The witch wouldn’t have wanted to punish you and Mum for whatever her reason was, and I would have been born alongside the others.”He looks me in the eye, and I realise that I need to get out what I’ve been holding in all these years.“But I wouldn’t change what we did because a world without my mother doesn’t bear thinking about.”Dad nods, and I take a deep breath.“We can’t think
It’s snowing today, and I love snow!Christmas is just around the corner, and I can’t wait. I love Christmastime, and I hope that Lorcan does too. By then, we’ll be officially mated as Alpha and Luna, and I plan to make the holiday unforgettable for my mate.We’ll be going to Zidiah’s capital to spend Christmas with the King and Queen at their request. The Royal’s hold an annual Snow Ball, and all Dalgaard’s must attend.I would have liked to spend Christmas with my parents as I have every year of my life. But that cannot be, and I have to deal with it.I’ve spent a couple of days helping Kale in the infirmary. He was so excited to learn that Lorcan agreed to me being pack healer. I’ll be working alongside my best friends big brother as his third in command.
I lead my family into the living room. Once they’re seated, I link one of the kitchen staff to bring drinks.It’s incredible that I now have a pack link, strange when I shouldn’t have one until I’m sworn in as Luna. However, Lorcan said that now we marked each other, he opened the link because he knows that I’m not going anywhere.Once Macie, one of the kitchen staff, drops off a pot of tea, I pour everyone a cup. Once I’ve handed them out, I sit back in my seat next to the window.Lorcan and I always sit in this massive love seat when we’re in here. He brought the grey fabric chair for us last week, and I love it!“I can’t believe you guys came. I’m so happy to see you all,”“I’m sure.”
“Are you really going to sit there and lie to my face?” Mum snaps at me.I’m not going to go through this shit again. I’m done speaking about what happened, and I won’t let my mother bait me into saying something I can’t take back.“Mum, I know you care about me, and I love you for it. I also know that what Lorcan did to bring me here upset you, and I’m sorry about that.“When I first got here, I wanted to go home. But then I grew to understand my mate, and I fell in love with him.”“And you believe he loves you back?”I nod my head.“I know that he does, Mum. Lorcan asked me to mark him, and the second I did, I felt his love for me flowing through my veins. He shows me every moment we’r
Pain radiates through my body yet again.I curl up on my side, pulling my blanket over my hip and snuggling into my pillow. I close my eyes and let the tears fall.Why the hell am I doing this to myself?I need my mate, and no matter how many times I run from him, I will always need him. My heat has hit the peak, and it’s beyond painful. I thought yesterday was bad enough, but this is the worst I have ever felt in my life.I thought that locking myself in my room would be the best solution; that way, I could hide from my mate, but I can sense him outside my door even now.What I find strange is that not once has he tried to break in when most would. He has some restraint, which awes me.I had no idea that I’d be mated to Josh Adams, Beta of Silver Paw pack.
