Kaya
He said his name was Cade. I had never met anyone named that. Then again, I had yet to meet that many people. I wanted to know if there was any significance behind his name. I was examining him when he grabbed my hand.
It sent little tingles across my flesh. He pulled me past Quill and out of the hall with everyone. He continued to lead me up the stairs and then into a room. It was dark in there, but I had no problem seeing. My vision was superb, not to mention we wolves had already had the ability to see in the dark.
The next thing I saw was his face coming towards mine. Then I felt his lips connect with my own. I had never been kissed before, and I was hoping I was doing it right. I wish I could have asked him if I was okay. But the kiss began to deepen, and to me, it didn't seem like he thought I was a novice.
If he did think that, it didn't seem to faze him as he opened his mouth, and I reciprocated, opening mine. Letting him take the lead, I followed what he had done. I began to feel light and euphoric as the kiss became more demanding. I felt a wetness begin to pool between my legs.
What the hell was happening. I knew it would be natural to be drawn to your mate, but I didn't realize there would be a primal need to get naked and rub our bodies together. I knew what sex was. I knew it was supposed to be enjoyable, but I had never had the desire.
But in this instance, I wanted to experience it. I wanted him to be inside me. I wanted to know what it would be like to have his naked body pressed against mine. I knew the smell of my arousal was overpowering our room.
It was signaling to Cade that I wanted him. I knew he had felt the same as I had felt a bulge pressed against me. He had his hands all over my body. It wasn't enough; I wanted his hands on my flesh. I wanted to feel his skin against mine. I pulled my hands away from him and tried to lift my dress off. But he grabbed my hands. I looked at his mouth to see if he wanted to say something. "Not yet."
Not yet. Was he kidding me? I know how he felt the same. The signs were all there, but now he wanted to show restraint. My mother had told me it was natural to seal the mate bond relatively fast after finding each other. Why was he holding back? I know it wasn't me, so what was it? I just stared at him in the dark room. I wanted him to explain himself. He could tell by my face that I wanted an explanation.
"I want to do this right. I don't want to rush it in some dark room that is not mine." I felt my lips turn up, and I knew I had to have released a laugh. I had been so turned on that I had forgotten all about what was happening outside the door of this unknown room. He smiled and looked at me.
"So, you make sounds, laugh, and moan. "I felt my face get hot. I knew I was blushing. I can't believe I had moaned while we were kissing. I wondered how I must have sounded, probably like an idiot. I put my hands on my face, covering them in embarrassment. Cade pulled my hands away from my face so I could look at him. "No need to be embarrassed. I liked it."
Somehow, that didn't make me feel better; I was still embarrassed. My brother mind linked me. "Look, I know you found your mate and all, but you can't just run off to do. Goddess knows what.""Sorry." "Can you please come back to the party?" This time, I led Cade out of the room and back down to the party. We met back up with my brother. "Where the hell did you go."
Before I mind linked back, he cut me off, "You know what I don't want to know. I have a good idea. "I know he knew we had been kissing. He knew better than to think we did more than that, as my scent had not changed. Cade had asked me to dance, which was super friendly. But after the dance was over, a tall blond woman approached us.
She had a short bob that suited her face. Her dress showed her body, giving the impression of having a figure. Just then, Cade stepped before me, blocking my view of the women. I poked my head out from behind his back. I looked at the women's lips coated in ruby red color. "Cade, I didn't know you would be here. I am glad, though; maybe we could do what we did last time we were together."
She said and then began to trace her fingers up his arm. What the hell was going on. What did they do last time? Then, the woman's mouth moved again. "Come on. You liked it last time. I know I did, and after all, we are engaged."
Whoa what. Engaged. Oh, hell no. I don't know who this chick was, but he was mine. I pushed my lips together and growled. One of the things I could do was growl; it was menacing. My father even felt a bit intimidated when I did it.
My mother described it as uninhibited as I couldn't gauge the sound, and it came out like a feral wolf wanting to devour something. Cade turned around and looked at me with an amused look on his face. I felt eyes land on me. I knew it was because I had growled. Then, the woman looked right at me. "You are?"
I growled again. I couldn't help myself. I felt possessive like I never had. "Calm down." The women looked at Cade for some kind of explanation. I knew what he was saying without looking at him. I kept my eyes on the blond woman. She looked back at me. "Your mate?"
Cade I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to kiss her. To feel her lips on mine. Why was I thinking about it when I could actually do it. I thought about kissing here right here in front of everyone. But I wanted the moment to be more intimate. I grabbed her hand and led her out of the overcrowded room. Once on the second floor, I pulled her into the first room there was. It was dark in there. I moved closer to her. Extending my arms and pulling her in. Kissing her is like something unworldly; her lips are so soft, so inviting. I begin to feel her body. Her curves were hard to hide, with my hands freely roaming over her body. I opened my mouth. I wanted her to do the same. I had wanted to taste her. When she reciprocated, I let my tongue slide into her. She tasted like honey, sweet and earthy. The room was filling with the scent of her arousal. The kissing had tightened my pants, but smelling that she wanted me was a new kind of arousal. I wanted nothing more than t
Cade Kaya threw the first punch. But Annalise dodged it. Then Annalise swung down and went in for a gut punch. It connected with Kaya's ribs. This ignited a frenzy in her. She began to circle fast. She went in for punches, not worrying about the blows she was taking. Annalise stepped back and went in for a roundhouse. Then, in an instant, Kaya grabbed hold of the kicking leg and punched the femur. I could hear the bone breaking. Annalise backed away, almost hobbling. Kaya didn't stop there, though. She, in her human form, crouched down and pounced. This was the first time I had seen something like it. It was as if, in her human form, she had taken on the attributes of her wolf form. She spang up, tackling Annalise to the ground. Once on top of her, she began to franticly hit. Annalise at first threw some heavy punches, and you could hear Kayla's ribs cracking, but that didn't stop her. She continued to hit and hit. After minutes, Annalise stopped moving. But Kaya just kept hit
Kaya The nurse looked directly at me. "Where does it hurt the worst? "I pointed to my ribs. In truth, they were on fire. Every time I breathed, they felt like they were being punched again. I knew I had cracked several. Annalise surely could throw a punch, but I could do something better. I could take it. It gave me the upper hand. I had won the fight. She would think next time she wanted to put her grubby little hands on my mate. Man, I was possessive. The thought of how possessive it made me laugh. But then I shuddered at the pain that caused. "Can you show me your ribs?" I nodded. I got out of bed and was about to take my dress off when it occurred to me that both my brother and my mate were sitting there looking right at me. I had shifted around my brother before, so it was not new to him what I looked like, but I still didn't want him staring at me. Unlike when we shifted back home, no one considered how anyone looked. It was just a part of nature. But here in this room, wh
Cade I knocked on the door to Kaya's and Quill's room. He opened the door. "Cade, she is out like a light. I don't think you should wake her. "I wanted to just lay next to her to be near her. But I didn't want to risk waking her up. I nodded at Quill. "Alright, I will see you in the morning. We can meet in the lobby. "I turned away, and Quill shut the door. I went back to the room I had gotten. Mark, my beta was in there. "Cade, your back?" Yeah, she was asleep. I didn't want to risk waking her up.” "Got it. Well, I can't wait to meet her." "Yeah, what do you think they must talk to their pack about. I mean, she would normally come back with us, so I don't get why they have to talk to their pack." "Yeah, I don't know; maybe they just want to let her parents know or something. They may want to coordinate where to get her stuff sent. I have no idea." It seemed weird that Quill had stuff to go over with us. It was customary for the female to join her mate's pack once they found ou
Cade It had been two days since I said goodbye to my mate. I was having a hard time focusing on anything else. I missed her smile. I missed her smell. It was not usual to part with your mate after the meeting. It was unnatural. Under normal circumstances, we would have sealed our mate bond already. I had to keep telling myself we were almost there. The pilot had said as much. I was glad I had brought Mark and his Mate Helen. I asked Mark to come, and Helen had insisted she tag along. The plane finally touched down. There was fresh powder on the ground. And the aircraft swayed a bit. As we exited the small plane, I took in the area. It was covered in a white blanket. You could see hills in the distance. Helen spoke up. "What now? I am freezing my ass off." I thought it was cold for October, but then again, we were in the Arctic Circle. Quill had given us the latitude and longitude. According to the GPS, it was about 7 miles north of here. We had a handheld GPS thing that Mark had
Kaya As we walked to where I would have us camp for the night, I began to feel a bit nervous. I felt my palms sweating. I tried to relax. I removed the pack once we got to the clearing, I thought would be a good place. I reached down and pulled out the Ax I had attached to the side of the pack. Cade made a face, but he understood after seeing me cutting up a fallen tree. Cade had taken over the wood so I could set up the bedding that I had brought. I laid out the furs next to where I planned to put the fire. I gathered it up once Cade had cut enough wood for the whole night. He watched as I started the fire. I looked at him. There was nothing else to do. This was it. I felt my face getting hot. Why was I so embarrassed? Cade came closer, closing the gap between us. His gaze met mine. He must have known I was nervous because his mouth moved. "Just take a deep breath. It is just us here." I did as he said. It helped. Then, slowly, he kissed me. He opened his mouth, and I mimick
Cade I woke up and stretched. I didn't feel Kaya beside me. I sat up and looked around. Then I saw her. She was wrapped up in one of the furs, sitting by the fire. I mind-linked her. "Kaya. "She turned around. "Do you want some smoked salmon?" "Salmon for breakfast?" She reached her hand out with some of the salmon. I took it and began to eat it. It tasted good. I still thought having fish first thing in the morning was weird. After I had finished eating, she stood up, dropping the fur blanket she had wrapped around her. I looked at her naked body. Her clothes had done an excellent job covering her shape. But there was no doubt when she stood bare in front of me, she had curves for days. She had round full breasts, her waist was tiny, her stomach was flat, her legs toned, and her hips were wide and shapely. I looked at her, both of us standing naked. She came close to me and placed her hand on my chest. She ran her hand down to my cock. She began to stroke me. After a minute of
Cade When we entered Mark and Helen's makeshift shelter. I looked down at the ground to see them both still sleeping. There were clothes spewed all over the makeshift shelter. I knew what they had been doing before they fell asleep. But why were they still asleep. I kicked Mark's leg. He moved and groaned a bit, turning over. I looked at Kaya. She began to chuckle at the scene. Did she know what caused this? "Do you know what happened to them?" "Yeah, potato juice." "What." "We collect many wild potatoes during the summer and distill it. So, they got drunk off the stuff; it is strong. Also, I would bet they had some sheesh." "What is that." "It is an herb we like to smoke. It makes you euphoric." I looked at the two passed-out people. They had to get up. I bent down and began to shake Mark. He finally began to stir. "What?" He groaned. "Mark?" Hearing that it was me, he sat right up. "Alpha." "Calm down Mark. I am here to get you and Helen up. Get dressed; we will grab some food.
KayaI lay there in the bright light and sat up suddenly. A woman was standing next to me. She was beautiful. Her long white hair was to her feet. Her white skin had a glow. And her white eyes were looking right at me. "My daughter Kaya." I could hear her. "Yes, in here, you can hear and talk. Try it." I opened my mouth and thought about what I wanted to say. "Who are you?" It took me back to hear my voice. The women smiled. "You are in my home." I looked around. It was pure white. "I also frequent the land where all my children go when they die, you know, as the Garden, but this is actually where I live." "But who are you?" "I think you already know the answer." "You are the Goddess." "Yes I am, I am named Selen." I smiled. She had a name. "Do you know why I brought you here instead of the garden with the other wolves who died?" I just shook my head. "Well, I wanted to talk to you." "I wanted to thank you for uniting the North and the South. I always wanted you both to be friends.
CadeWe were running, and I felt it. Kaya was off the link. I tried to mind link her but she didn't respond I let out a roar that shook the trees near us. "Robert." I mind-linked. "Alpha, she is dead." "What happened?" "She, I had to cut the baby out, and she just died." I could feel his emotion over the link. What do I even do? She was gone. How had this happened? She was the strongest wolf I knew. I roared again. I was going to kill Howi, which would be long and drawn out. He had killed my mate. If she had been left alone, she would have been in a hospital. She would be in comfort snuggling our newborn. I didn't know if even the baby would survive. The north, though, was warmer now because of the season, but it would still be cold. There was still snow on the ground. I knew the rest of the pack felt that she had died, and Mark's mind linked me. "Cade." "What?" I yelled through the link while I continued to run. "I am sorry." I snapped my jaws at him. I would not hear about her. No
Kaya I landed just fine. The snow was so much deeper than I thought it would be at this time of the year. Not to mention, it was powder and not hard like ice or packed snow at all. It didn't seem natural. This had to be the Goddess's doing. She had to have made the ground better for falling into. I looked around and Saw Robert lying in the powder. I ran to him. He was lying there limp. I sniffed him. He was still breathing. He needed to be mended. I looked around frantically. There was not much around me. I saw some trees in the distance. There had to be something there. I used my snout to feel around until I felt blood on his shoulder. I used my paw to roll him and saw it went straight through. He would be okay. I didn't know why he was still asleep. They had to have given him something else besides shooting him. The wound was nasty but it could be mended. Maybe they had drugged him again while I was passed out. I tried to mind link, Cade. "Kaya, what is it?" "I was taken. I am, w
Kaya I woke up, and Robert was lounging in a chair. He looked like he had something on his mind. But he seemed like he always had stuff on his mind these days. I was sure it was because I was on bed rest. "Robert." I mind-linked him. "Can we go out to eat? You know the place by the river and eat outside. I want to go hiking, but I know I am supposed to be in bed and I don't think going out to eat counts as breaking the bed rest." "Luna, we need to stay home." My face fell. "Well, then, can I have some moose?" He nodded, and I followed him into the kitchen, where I immediately sat down. He pulled some out of the freeze, immediately put it in the sink, and turned on the water to defrost it. He sat down at the small table with me. "What is it?" I signed. He didn't respond, and I knew something was wrong. "Tell me," I commanded over the link. "Cade mind linked. Howi knows the pack is in the North. No one was there when they went to fight. Howi also knows you are not in the North and is
CadeWe had the spray made. There was so much made that everyone sprayed themselves down. Then, we decided to stagger our movement. So some left already with some deltas. Then another set went yesterday. Today, I was moving out. The people already in Howi's pack had started to set traps. When I got there, I would also set traps. It would take about two days until we were ready to set fires. It was a risk doing it in days as we could get caught. I knew Howi knew we were already coming. When he set his message, it told me he had eyes on us like we did for him. I tore through the woods, my wolf running at a steady pace. I had my bag attached to my back leg with clothes on it. We could not set the traps and fires in wolf form. But fighting we would need to do in wolf form if possible. We are more robust in that form. I ran all day. Stopping at night to rest, then getting up and running again. It was a two-day run to Daybreak pack. Howie had moved his pack to Jack's ho
CadeWe finalized everything. The plan was in motion. The woman who made the perfume had stayed behind with her mate; their oldest son had taken their youngest to the North. Both wanted to stay and fight for the pack. She had agreed to make a spay of skunk, and I, for one, was glad it was not me. I knew that was going to be a stinky job. Robert gave me a report on Kaya after they went to see the OBGYN. He had said she wanted to be left alone and was in a bad mood. But Robert gave me the rundown of what was said. I knew Kaya would be upset, and I wanted to comfort her. She should not be going through this without me. But we had a plan now. We had an idea of how to win. Once the scent was made and we could spray ourselves, we would move into position. It would be a process over days, but I was sure it would go fast once everything was in motion. But we would have to wait until the spray is ready. I hurried off to the training field. It was after lunch training session. T
Kaya Robert and I waited in the OBGYN room. The place was so different from the clinic back at Shadow Pack. I got several looks from the other women waiting. I didn't know if they were staring at me or if they were looking at Robert, who was burly. He resembled a bear. He mind-linked me. "This place is ridiculous, a bit pretentious much?" I cracked a smile. I had been thinking the same thing. I sat there playing with my fingers. "Kaya, they are calling you." I stood and Robert with me. The woman led us back, making me get on a scale and take my height. Suddenly, the woman stopped and turned to me. "I am so sorry. I didn't realize you were deaf, and here I was talking and not looking at you." I read her lips and then looked at Robert. "It is so nice that your husband here can help translate for you." I began to frantically sign that Robert was not my husband. "Oh well, you guys are not married. Not everyone has to be to have a baby. I bet you two are excited." My ange
Cade The morning came, and I waited for Kaya to mind-link me, which she did every morning when she woke up. Even before she left, I noticed that she had started to sleep in later. Growing a werewolf was a lot of work. It was no surprise to me she slept a lot. Today, I would meet with a few people, and we would strategize the best way to take out Howi. Kaya and I reviewed some ideas yesterday, and I liked her suggestion of setting a fire. But that would not be enough. I was eating breakfast with Mark, neither of us talking. In fact, no one in the packhouse was talking. I knew it was because they all missed their loved ones. Everyone, including me, was sullen. I felt Kaya's mind link me. "Cade, good morning." "Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?" "Yes, I wish you could see my toes." "What about them?" "Robert and I went to the aquarium yesterday and got pedicures after lunch. I had them paint them bright pink. It is so cute." I couldn't help but crack a smile." "Oh, and
Kaya Robert and I had met the neighbors, and I felt they already hated me. That or they just didn't understand me. Humans never did understand facial tattoos. I mind linked Cade as soon as I got up. "Cade." "Your awake." "Yeah, did I worry you?" "No, of course not. I figured you were asleep when I tried to mind-link you earlier, but Robert told me you were sleeping. He also said you are going out today." "Yeah, I was going to go out and just wander around the city." "No place in mind?" "No." Being here just a few days was already getting boring. I needed to get out of the house. "Have him take you to Sheels; you liked that place. You could also go to the zoo again or even the aquarium would be fun. Then maybe go get your feet rubbed at a nail place." "Who would rub my feet? That does not seem like a thing." "No, it is. You pay them, and they will wash and rub your feet." "Okay, I will ask Robert about all of that." "Good." "So everyone left this morning, right?" "That
