‘Fingers crossed.’ I mutter back and carry on sorting as he drops the link.
‘What if she does say no?’ Nyx suddenly asks.
‘Then I guess we are about to have a third pup.’ Though I was definitely not ready for that.
Just as I finish, Damien appears with a smile. “They have taken him home.” He takes the box of baby stuff from me.
“She said yes?”
He nods. “I didn’t think she would turn him away. Not after she gave him a name.”
“She has?”
He smiles at me, “Luca.”
‘I love it!’ Nyx declares. I’m certain if she had it her way, we would spend our whole time pregnant.
“It looks like Logan and Evrin will have a new friend.” I mutter. “Everything in that box should see them through for a couple of weeks until they can get their own stuff.”
He locks his eyes on me and nods. His fingers drum on the side of the box. “I won’t let her lose him.”
I knew what he was saying.
“Damien, they abandoned him. If they come here, claiming him back, do you really think I’m going to make her hand him over?”
“I just wanted to make sure we are on the same page.” He nods at the box. “I will take this over to her seeing as you are supposed to be staying inside. I saw Dane coming out of the forest. He was talking to some of the other Wolves, he will probably be here soon.”
“Thanks.” He was done with killing those Wolves already. I half expected him to slowly torture them and be gone all night.
I follow Damien down from the attic and just as he leaves, a blood soaked, half naked Dane makes his way in. He leaves bloody footprints behind as he makes his way towards me. Damien doesn’t even stop, he just carries on walking like it was a usual occurrence to see the Alpha covered in blood.
“Are they dead?” I ask, though I could already tell what the answer was.
“Do you think I would have left if they weren’t?”
“You’re angry.” I could see it and I could feel it. “But you’ve dealt with them.”
???
“They were just two Wolves, Neah. Who knows how many other pricks are turning against Black Shadow! I’ve worked hard to get this pack where it is. And somewhere along the line, people have become lazy and their loyalty is faltering needed them to see what would happen. Remind them of the punishments for disrespecting you and me.”
I bob my head.
“You don’t disagree?” His tone full of scepticism
“No. I’ve killed people too.” I turn and he grabs my arm, spinning me back around into his blood covered chest. He drags his thumb across my cheek and down to my lips. His breath is hot and heavy as he inhales my scent.
“Where are the twins?” He asks softly
“Sleeping. It’s late.” I mutter back.
“And the pup?” His anger seems to be waning
“Mallory said she would take him so she has taken him home with Eric. Damien is taking some of the twins’ baby bits over for me, you know, to get them set up.”
“Good, come shower with me.” He lifts me from the ground, pulling my legs around his hips and carries me up the stairs. I was so grateful that I didn’t wear white.
He’s purposely slow as he strips me, inching my clothes off of me as though he is unwrapping a fancy gift. As he does, he leaves bloody fingerprints on my clothes and my body.
Stepping into the hot water, watery blood quickly circles the drain and Dane holds me tight, ensuring my back is firmly against his chest while his hardening cock presses into the small of my back as he cups my stomach.
He presses his lips against the small spot right below my ear. A place that both tickled and turned me on. “When do I get to put another pup in you?”
“Not yet.” I murmur back, trying to ignore the growing ache inside of me.
His lips move down to the mark he gave me and his teeth nip at it as I feel the rumble from deep inside his chest. He moves a hand down to my thighs and from behind, uses his leg to push mine apart and sweeps a finger across my centre.
“Is that right?” He muses as his finger starts to circle my clit
I nod while trying to hold back a moan.
Removing his finger from my pussy, he spins me around to face him, pulling me flush. The water had washed away most of the blood, just a few spots remained on his chin. I brush them away and with one hand he lifts me and presses me into the cold tiles. I let out a gasp, it was a welcome relief for my hot skin.
“Feeling a little warm?” His crimson eyes lock on mine.
I nod, but it was more than just being warm. Everything was beginning to burn from the inside out. Droplets of sweat were making their way down the centre of my spine. The heat of the water made me feel like tearing my own flesh off. It had been so long since I had felt this.
“No, no, no.” I push Dane away from me and turn the shower temperature down to as cold as it could be, firmly planting myself underneath the water while Dane watches me try to gain some control over what was happening to me.
‘Yes, yes, yes.’ Nyx mutters back in delight.
“This can’t be happening now!” I mutter out loud. I spot Dane grinning at me while Nyx tells me it’s because our body is ready for another pup. “Neah….” His grin is still plastered on his face. “You won’t be able to stop it.”
“I know. How did you know?”
“I could smell it.” He joins me under the cold water. His muscles tensing from the cool temperature. “You can fight it, but you won’t win. You know that. You will just prolong the inevitable” He tucks my wet hair behind my ears.
It felt like his crimson eyes are searching my soul as he leans in to kiss me. His hand reaches out and he turns the shower off. Immediately, I feel the fire rising up through me. The steady growing ache settles heavily within. I couldn’t fight it.
****
Two days. At least it wasn’t as long as the first time. Though my body still ached and my pussy throbbed.
Dane softly circles my bellybutton with the tips of his fingers. He pauses briefly and turns my face to his. “You’re quiet.”
“Tired.” I whisper back. “And I ache.”
“Roll over.” He tells me, getting onto his knees.
“Why?”
“Just roll over.”
I flip onto my stomach and he straddles my thighs, pinning me to the bed. He runs his hands over the length of my back, pushing his fingers into my muscles and working out the knots that al developed. It felt so damn good and
I seem to sink further into the mattress as my body relaxes.
“Before you ask, Athena and Sebastian have the boys. They have been there for the last two days.” He tells me
I nod into the pillow as he continued to work his magic.
“Damien has been keeping an eye on things?” My voice comes out all muffled from the pillow.
“Yes, Eric too.”
“Nothing has happened?”
“Not that I am aware of. I did tell them to link me if it was that important, but other than that, they have it handled.”
“Something doesn’t feel right.” I murmur
His hands pause over my lower back. I try to shuffle around but he has me trapped under his legs. “Can’t just enjoy the moment?!” He muses “It’s…. It’s a gut feeling.”
“I know. You are not the only one that thinks things are too easy after what has happened.”
“Why haven’t you said anything?” I wiggle out from under him which he finds hilarious
“Because I wasn’t going to let my mate go out there while she was in raging heat.. And you are also supposed to be keeping a low profile. For now, you are here, with me. Damien and Eric have got things covered. Whatever is going on can be tomorrow’s problems
I slump back on the pillows and he coils his arms around me, pulling me against him. Closing my eyes, I hear him groan only to open my eyes and see how his are glazed. I look at the clock. It was gone midnight. guess today’s problems were already starting.
Dane
“Stay here.” I tell Neah, pulling on a shirt
“Who is it?” She asks, already climbing out of bed and heading to the closet.
“It doesn’t matter. You need to stay here.”
She carries on pulling on underwear as though I hadn’t said anything. “I was right.” She murmurs. “My gut feeling was right.” She shimmy’s herself into a pair of jeans. “Is it Cooper?”
