My breath hitched as the door bedroom door closed and I heard the click of the lock.
If I thought my mom looked bad, Max looked much worse. Although, in all fairness, his worst was still sexy. The man could be covered in blood and dirt and I'm one hundred percent sure I'd want to climb him like a tree.
He stood there by the door, like a stone. His hand still on the handle of the door he had just locked and his eyes were locked on me. I looked like hell and now understood my mom a bit more. I will carry a toothbrush and hair brush from now on.
I was sitting up with the comforter in my lap. My hands started to comb through my hair like a mad woman and when I hit a knot I clearly showed the pain. Honestly, it was not that painful but it was an unconscious reflex to wince in pain. I would have rolled my eyes at myself but Max was next to me before I could do that. My sarcasm and pain gone at the touch of his fingers to my head.
"Are you okay? Please do
"Post traumatic stress syndrome, also known as PTSD, happens not only to our veterans coming home from war, but to victims of rape, emotional and physical abuse, foster children that don't know if they will have a roof over their heads that night. A safe one that provides food and nurturing as they should be receiving but rarely do." my mother explained to Tara's mom and Ginny. Ginny looked like she was about to jump out of her skin. It was clear that she didn't like going out of her comfort zone and since her cousin arrived with her daughter, Ginny has been a fish out of water. She shuffled her feet in the uncomfortable plastic folding chairs I brought in so they could sit with Tara. I slept on the recliner every night, and by sleep I mean, I watched her continue to breathe. Watched the machines monitor her heart rate. Held her hand and apologized a million times kissing each finger tip. "So this is why Tara isn't waking up?" I could feel my mom
My body felt warm. I didn't need to open my eyes to know that my mate was holding me. I felt whole.I tried to move my hand a little bit but it took a lot more effort than it should have. It was akin to being buried in the sand at the beach. Only even my eyes refused to open, like they had been glued shut.I felt trapped and alone, but then I heard Max's whispers to me."Come back to me, my little mate." My mate is truly swoon worthy."I need you, Luna. I need to be with you. I need to fuck you."I felt all tingly as his fingers ran up and down the back of my open gown."You are mine. My Luna. My soul mate. My everything."I wanted to shiver but my body stayed still. But my heart felt like it was going faster and faster with each of his sweet nothings whispered to me."I think she can hear you." A familiar female voice said. It sounded muffled. "Her heart beat is spiking every time she hears your voice."I he
Max's POV My Beta and best friend, Henry, had been running the pack while I stuck by my soon to be Luna's side. She was in and out of it. I thought she had heard what I said but even awake she would zone out and I could feel her distance from me, even though she was in my arms. Henry mind linked me saying he had some urgent business to discuss. I was mildly interested to be honest because everything I wanted and needed was finally in my arms. I didn't want to leave until she was better. I couldn't stop myself from running my fingers from her lips to her fingers. I'd traced every inch that I knew wouldn't being violating my love, so much so that I could sketch her and I'm not an artist. But if Henry needed me, I knew it had to be an emergency. I invited him to the hospital and stook outside her door. Her mom and Ginny were in there everyday with me. My mom, being the amazing Luna that she is, took extra care of our future Luna. Her futur
Tara's POVI was startled awake by Laura who was changing into a hospital gown. Worry etched her face and although she didn't know it, I was able to read her loud and clear.'This isn't going to work. This isn't going to work. We're all gonna die. Why did I agree to this? To being the sitting duck? What if our intel is wrong? No. Beta or not, he's going to pay for the consquences'Her mind was all over the place but it was clear that she didn't trust Henry. When I felt her pinch me I opened up my eyes feigning surprise at her being here."What's going on, Laura? Why are you here in a hospital gown? You can visit me in regular clothing, you know that right?""Sorry Luna, we don't have time for joking around right now, I need you to get dressed. Like, now." She snapped her fingers loudly in my face and I held up my hands."Okay, okay! I'm moving. But I'm attached to these annoying machines and have an IV drip that we'll
"Max, I can't go any further tonight. We've been switching buses, trains, and now boats for hours. I need some time to, to process, everything." We had been going for what felt like eternity, but in reality it had only been about a days worth of travel. "No, I'm sorry my little mate. We can't stop. Not until we get there." I nodded as Max pulled me along to get onto an airplane. I could tell we were headed north because of the cold weather. My sense of direction felt completely wonky but the fact that we needed passports made me believe we were on our way to Canada. I sat next to him on the tiny charter plane with tears welling up in my eyes. "We're almost there. A few more stops." Max squeezed my hand. "I promise you. You can do this. We can do this. Together." "What is this? Us? What are we doing?" I was hungry and tired and still hadn't told him about my wolf, my new senses, or what Ginny said. I felt like my insides were boiling and I couldn
Even though the snow was falling heavily against a charcoal colored sky, I saw my mate clearly. He shook off the snow and walked towards me with his lips curled into a knowing smile. He was even more magnificent then I remembered from my dreams. Like a great white shark, he was meant to hunt, kill, survive, and was truly great compared to any of the other werewolves I'd seen. Mate. My body had felt like it was on fire. The heat gathering in my belly was growing rapidly and intensifying and insatiable. A flame I instinctively knew would be near impossible to extinguish. Mate. Max’s giant paws thudding in the snow created vibrations in the ground. That didn't help the burning desire go away. It made it grow rapidly. My entire body vibrating along with his step was pure delightful torture.Mate. Each step bringing him closer to me. Each step increasing my excitement. Each step making me feel the way the great singer songwriter Bruce Springsteen sang: I’m on fire.Mate. I felt like
When our eyes locked, I saw how much he wanted me. I could see how much he was holding back. It pained me to see my mate in pain. I didn’t know how to talk to him the way he was talking to me but sometimes there are no need for words. I nuzzled my head under his neck. I could feel him vibrating from excitement, but His body relaxed and his head nuzzled back on mine. Both of our hearts were racing and the heat we had created was melting the snow around us.“My Luna,” Max's strong and soothing reverberated in my head. “Please be my Luna, my mate, my best friend, the owner of my heart, and the star in all of my fantasies, love me. Allow me to make you feel as good as I know I can.” He started licking the top of my head, which felt oddly intimate.“I’ll stop if you don’t want me too.”“Hell no!”Have he heard that? He must’ve heard me because he paused and looked down at me with pride. And that smirk that could melt panties. The one I remember seeing when he took me to the park and leaned
*MATURE CONTENT WARNING*Over the threshold of the home, we transformed into ourselves as people. I knew I would have to transform at some point but had been so afraid of the pain that I didn’t even realize I was standing naked in front of Max. My horror quickly replaced with a feeling I’ve only felt around Max, but this was unlike before. A tingle ran along my spine, shooting pleasurable bolts of lightning to my clit. My nipples were hypersensitive and perked up. The hair on my arms even stood up, like they were being magnetically pulled towards him.I knew part of me wanted to cover my nakedness, but I was enjoying the handsome Alpha man in front of me. I couldn’t help but take Max in; memorizing his body with my eyes. I was salivating at the sight of him. In other words: I was thirsty as fuck. I couldn’t even cross my arms without my skin touching my own skin sending me on to the climb up towards a climax. This was crazy! I wasn’t touching myself. He wasn’t touching me. But the p
