Tova sucked in a sharp breath and gave a single tight nod. “First get dressed.” He went out and came back five minutes later to give her fresh clothes. “There is a makeshift bathroom right beside the tent. You can use it.”
“Thanks,” she replied with the sweetest smile he had ever seen and his heart skipped a beat.
Alyssa went to relieve herself and when she came out, she saw a tub with hot water in it for a bath. She couldn’t believe how much Fenris was taking care of her. She removed her clothes and then washed herself to save the wound. It had healed a lot and she marveled his medicine when she saw that scabs had begun to form. The fact that she was a half witch also enhanced her healing.
The clothes that she was wearing after the bath were a size smaller

As they plodded further down, Alyssa noticed that the forest had become greener and only traces of snow were seen on the ground. The sun dappled between the leaves and the forest smelled of clean air. She loved it as they rode. She hadn’t been this carefree and happy in her life.With her in front of him, Tova couldn’t focus on anything else. Her hips were cradled against his thighs and he couldn’t help himself touching her breasts or belly or thighs. Her breasts were so plump and luscious that at one point of time he imagined his lips around them and his erection shot north.“Tova, behave,” she said.“What is that word? It doesn’t exist in my dictionary.” He pressed himself on her back and she chuckled.However
He gave her a gentle bath and soaped her lavishly over her body, her breasts, her hips, in between her thighs, under her arms and every place and then washed them. Once done, he got up, took her out and helped drying up. Once she had dried, he didn’t allow her to wear her nightdress. He led her to bed and said, “Have I behaved?”“Yes.” She was acutely aware of his member.“Then can I have the pleasure of you sleeping with me like this?”She bit her lip as her cheeks flushed again and nodded coyly. The man was too sweet and too tolerant. She looked at him with adoration as she lied in her bed and he lied beside her. There was so much excitement and love and optimism around her. All these years she had felt so lonely despite having parents, so much in danger
Tova came over her body immediately and wrapped her in his arms while still keeping his finger inside her. “Shh baby. It’s going to be fine,” he said. He left his finger inside her and lay still for a moment. When she relaxed a little, he said, “Are you okay?” She nodded and he started moving it again inside. He had broken her virginity layer and he couldn’t believe his wonderful luck. He pressed his face in the crook of her neck and said, “I love you madly, and irrevocably, Alyssa!”She groaned and he inserted another finger inside her.“Ah!” It stung.Tova went to her breast, wrapped his lips around them and sucked on her nipples harshly and longingly. Heat pooled in between her thighs and she clenched her muscles again. 
Alyssa was extremely tired and as she watched the men erecting tents, her gaze fell on the trees beyond—and on the shadows of those trees that danced upon the tents. Amid the fragrance of the blooms, as warm air washed over her, she felt… blessed. She looked at Tova who was leaning against his tent.A soldier came to him with a letter. He took the letter and shoved it in his pocket. Then his gaze lifted and he tilted his head as he looked at her. So wanton…She stared into his hazel eyes and mesmerized, walked up to him. Tova gathered her in his arms and kissed her. He picked her up and took her inside the tent. He made her sit on the bed and knelt in front of her. No words were spoken between them. He took her boots off and then removed her shirt and breeches. When he pushed her gently on the bed, his breaths were shallow.
Tova gulped as he saw her with horror in his eyes. His mind froze for a moment. He blurted, “This is not happening!” The fate couldn’t be so cruel. Horrified as hell, Tova pulled out of her immediately. What started as a dream, what started as something he was looking forward to cherishing ended into a nightmare.Nightmares that would haunt him for his lifetime. He lifted from her and paused to see her face hoping against hope that what he saw was wrong. He blinked to clear the hallucination, but it wasn’t. And the reality struck hard as though he had been stabbed in his heart and then the knife had been twisted. He felt air whooshing out of his lungs.Alyssa couldn’t understand his reaction to the whole situation. She was getting flustered and her unease was growing by the minute. “What’s wrong Tova?”
Tova’s father was ill and he had sent the information to him that he needed him back at Averine. Perhaps now Tova had to become the Chieftain of Averine. But he wanted to go back to Ludwig and Penny. He wanted to go back and see how Penny was doing with her kids. For the first time he cursed himself for not extending his marriage proposal to her. However the feeling of marriage to anyone else was like a slap to his soul. He felt acid rising in his throat and he ran towards the forests. He had to take down his anger on something, on anything. As he ran, he clawed and uprooted trees, maddened with rage.His human form wanted to stay away from her but his beast—it was still trying to unleash itself from him and go back to its mate.Another tree went flying.Tova took his shirt off as sweat
Alyssa removed the fur and shot up straight in the bed when she recalled what happened the previous night. She saw a beast and she knew it was him. He had come to protect her. He couldn’t see her in that condition, surrounded by enemies. Her heartbeat raced as her chest tightened. Goosebumps pebbled her skin and she thought that he resented his behavior. “Oh god, Tova, I love you,” she whimpered.She removed her blanket and jumped out of the bed but a sudden ache stopped her. She squeezed her eyes shut and groaned in pain bending on her belly, as the pain traversed through her shoulder sharply. Her right hand was badly injured and she noticed bandages wrapped over there.“Alyssa!” someone called her.“Tova?” she said through her pain.
Alyssa placed her hands on her waist and laughed bitterly. “High hopes, you ass!” She turned to leave.Tova grabbed her arm. “Don’t even provoke me this far that—”“Fuck you Tova!” She spat and with force released her arms from his grip. She started to go towards the horses again.He caught her from her waist and clamped her tight against his body. He picked her up in the air and despite her resistance, he took her to his tent. “Don’t provoke me Alyssa!” he yelled at her after placing her on her feet. “If my beast is going to rise, you will get in a lot of trouble!”He knew that threat would put her in her place. She would bow down to his dominance.
