We're getting there :)
A soft knock came on the door before I was able to push my body off the door. I sensed it was Erix right away. But really, who else would be knocking on our bathroom door?Woah, ours? Where did it come from? It's not yet ours, and it's his. I'm just a guest in his room. Erix is being hospitable by letting me stay here. That's all. "I'm sorry, baby, let me in?" he asked. "Please."I couldn't say no to that voice. It was calling out for me. Erix wanted me, and I wanted him too. I quickly moved from the door and threw it open before wrapping my arms around his neck. I buried myself into his neck and inhaled him once again. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to snap at you. I'm just…""I know," he finished. "I understand. This is just one of those side effects of being claimed. Your body doesn't know how to handle all your newfound emotions. They are intertwined with mine, and it will confuse you a lot."I nodded but didn't speak. What Erix said certainly made sense. "Come on, I'll help you ba
After distributing the job to Yelan and Avery, we finally started painting the wall. I wouldn't lie; I missed Erix heaps. And I often found myself thinking of him. My body and mind were screaming for me to go and find him, but I couldn't leave my friends to do the job I had started. I would just have to suck it up. This was for the best in the end. Space is good…space is healthy. Everyone needs it. So if I knew that, why was I still trying to convince myself of it?I tried to shake my thoughts of him once again and failed miserably. Somehow every thought always led back to him. I wonder how he is doing right now? I wonder if he misses me too. Is Erix thinking of me as much as I am of him?Does it ever stop? It was exhausting. My mind was filled with Erix and I almost wanted to run to him. Ugh..After an agonizing hour of painting the room and assembling the furniture I bought, Yelan, Avery, and I sat down and munched on the snack Erin had brought us. Avery was telling jokes while Ye
"I finally found my mate yesterday. I'm actually on the way to his pack. I'll tell you more about it when we arrive."It was a message from Aires. I smiled at her. Finally, Aires found her mate. I hope he can change her. So Aires called non-stop because she wanted me to know she had met her mate. And here I am, worrying about something. I know hunters still exist, and I couldn't help but worry about Aeris since she's living carefree. After congratulating her, I decided to return to the room and shower. Yelan and I finished painting the wall and assembling the furniture. The only work left for tomorrow is arranging. I decided to hole up in the room and skipped dinner with my phone. It was almost nine in the evening, and Erix wasn't in the room yet. The room felt emptier without him. I crave his company more when I am alone. I already fell asleep when Erix went inside the room. I felt his presence entering the room, but I was too tired and sleepy to acknowledge his presence. When m
"There you are. I'm glad you made it down before noon," Wyatt teased me when he saw me. "I've never slept until noon," I defended with a smile. "Well, except that once." He shook his head and chuckled before walking to the front door and opening it for me. "Your ever-impatient mate is waiting for you." "Of course, he is," I murmured. On our way through the territory, the pack members bowed their heads in respect for us. I was still trying to adjust to the amount of respect they had for me. I had done nothing to deserve it, yet they still offered it to me. Erix's pack, I mean our pack is truly amazing. "Wyatt." A pretty blond girl said in passing. I didn't miss the smile she gave him. She looked quite smitten. "Friend of yours?" I asked. Wyatt shrugged trying to cover his smile. "You could say that, I guess. She's liked me since high school. We've dated a few times but it was nothing serious. We're not mates or anything." I could hear the longing in his voice at the mentio
I woke up feeling heavy and suffocated. When I turned my head and saw Erix sleeping soundly while half of his body was on top of me. I tried to wriggle a bit and tried to move him off my body but to no avail, Erix's muscular arm pulled me underneath him. "Don't move," he said. "It's still early." When he said that, I glanced at the wall clock and saw it was already ten in the morning. "I need to use the bathroom," I told him, trying to tickle him. Suddenly, the events of yesterday flooded my mind and I remember the rogue named Adam provoking me and making my wolf take charge. I remember her attacking the rogue before passing out. "What happened yesterday?" Erix one eye opened up before inhaling the scent of my hair. "Nothing. I stopped you before you can even kill the rogue," he replied. "I didn't know you were that scary when you were provoked," he added. I turn my body to face him. "He threatened you," I told him before cupping his face. "Nobody is allowed to lay a f
Erix's breathing was heaving, his chest moving rapidly against my back. I turned in his arms to face him. I gasped when his dark, almost black eyes stared back at me. "It took you long enough to come here," he said, eerily calm for his breathing. "I stopped to talk to Wyatt at the door. What's wrong?"He released one of his arms around me and reached out to close the door, giving us privacy, then wrapped it tightly around me again. I backed up from our closeness and gazed into the dark depths as he watched me with. "I had to go to the community today," I told him. "With Yelan.""I sent Wyatt to do it instead of you," he replied. Erix pulled me back into him and tightened his grip around my waist, nearly cutting off my air. He buried his nose in my hair and deeply inhaled my scent. He didn't move for minutes, making the time in his arms seem longer than it really was. Not that I minded, but his action had me worried. He was acting beyond strange. When Erix finally released me, I c
"She likes you, you know, my wolf. She's grateful. I could feel it in her words and presence, however brief." "She's not alone; my wolf likes her too. He likes all of you," Erix confessed. I blushed. I could tell. "Every day, he pushes me to mate you. That's why I had to leave so early this morning. I couldn't bear to be in a room when you got ready. I'm not sure I could control myself. It gets harder every day. He has a taste of you, and now he wants more. I've thought about leaving you to give us some space for a while, but I know it would only make it worse." My heart clenched. He'd leave me? His confession sent pain through me. I'd experienced worse, but the panic was unsettling. I didn't want him to leave me. The bond was making us this way. It was driving us both crazy, him more than me, though. He had his wolf back. "What should we do?" I asked. I knew that was a dumb question. I knew what I had to do; I just hoped Erix could offer a better alternative. I still wanted to
I woke up with a stirring that was unfamiliar to me. My chest was heaving from heavy breaths, and my body drenched in sweat. I sat up in bed quickly, trying to regain my breath. The room was dark, but I could still see somewhat with my werewolf sight. I reached for the lamp on the nightstand and switched it on. With my arm, I wiped away the sweat residue that had formed on my head and looked at the body rising and falling soundly beside me. Erix seemed completely at rest while my mind was still reeling from my dream. It was so vivid I could recall every touch and tingle on my body. Erix's hot breath on my skin, the little love bites. My thoughts hit me like a ton of bricks. Even in my just awoken state, I still yearned for him. I began to panic. I knew I needed to escape him before something bad happened, and I could never take it back. I mentally wasn't ready to mate with my mate, but my body was saying something completely different. I was in turmoil with myself. I force myself
