Page 79 of Wild Wolves

I should be embarrassed by the state of my body and how dirt smears over my skin and leaves and twigs tangle in my hair, but it’s as if none of that matters. All that matters is that I’m with Chase in this moment, and he treats me as if I am everything to him.

“Because you are,” he murmurs, carrying me all the way to the bathroom as if he knows that a shower would make me feel so much better.

He blindly turns on the water, sending steam through the air. Kicking out of his clothes, he holds me by my ass with one arm. I moan at the sensation of the water cascading over us, washing away the memory of the night and all of the heartache and fear that came with it.

I wiggle from Chase’s arms, lowering myself to my knees, kneeling as I lace my fingers around his hard cock. He massages shampoo in my hair, moaning as I suck his dick into my mouth as he tries to take care of me, but all I want to do is take care of him. I lick him, rubbing my fingers over his balls and explore him in a way that sends a wave of lust through me. Our emotions tangle, and I swear I can feel the pleasure I bring him. It blooms wetness between my legs, and I shift and squirm, needing some sort of relief.

He hears my desires and pulls me up, only to drop down and position my leg on his shoulder. I clutch his hair and gasp as his mouth caresses over my body, his tongue gliding across my clit in even strokes, sending my head spinning with bliss. It feels so incredible. All I can think about is how I want more. How I need more. Chase brings me more than just protection. He brings me love and companionship. He is everything I want in a man. Everything I never knew I truly needed.

My body spasms, the intensity of my orgasm making me scream out in pleasure. Chase lifts me back up and grabs a towel, wrapping it around us only to move us from the shower to the small bed. He drops me down, bowing to kiss me again, the scent of our passion so fragrant and intoxicating that all I can do is whimper. The need to be with him overwhelms me, and I reach between us and grab his cock, aligning it to my body. Chase groans as he teases me with his tip, and he stretches both of my legs over my head, exposing my clit to him and giving him the view he wants as he enters me.

The pressure of his cock sliding into me makes my eyes roll in pleasure, and I grip the blankets, moaning as he thrusts, his passion as feral as his wolf and as wild as my free spirit begging to take control to steal my reserve away.

“You’re so sexy, Eliana. So smart and fierce. You’re my perfect mate. I want you to be mine,” Chase murmurs the words, bracing on my legs as he kneels and thrusts inside of me over and over, stretching my body in ways that I know I won’t forget as the ache will linger. He strokes his finger over my exposed clit, strumming my body as he brings me to my peak again, making me come. His body tenses as mine tightens around his, and a more intense pressure steals my breath away. It surprises the both of us, and Chase bows forward, inhaling a breath by my ear.

I whimper as he tries to slide out of me, but the pressure increases even more. Fear clenches my chest, and my eyes widen. We stare at each other in shock, realizing that we are wolf-shifters, and we might have similarities to wolves, even in our human states. I never even considered that things could be different, and obviously, neither had he.

“Fuck, Eliana...” Chase lets his voice fade as his mind turns to how wolves mate. It’s the last thing I want to think about in this moment, but now that it’s in my mind, I know that we’re fucked. There’s only one way we can break apart.

I did bow as an omega after all, but that means that Chase is...

“I was changed by an alpha. It was a way to give me more strength in an attempt to create more power.” Chase shakes his head, slowly trying to ease his body away, but all it does is intensify the pressure.

I gasp and cling onto him, digging my fingers into his ass. “Don’t. It hurts.”

His face scrunches in worry. “I’m so sorry.”

I’m sorry too. I don’t say the words out loud though. Instead, I inhale a deep breath and pinch Chase by his chin, getting him to meet my eyes.

“You have to finish. It’s going to be okay. I have my IUD. But I think that’s the only way. Just...let’s just try to forget this is a thing.” My voice shakes as I say the words, and I bring Chase closer and kiss again, trying to lose myself to our passion once more.

It works. I concentrate on the scent of his skin and how amazing he feels inside me. I devour his affection, helping him relax, and he thrusts slowly and evenly, not too hard but enough to bring me pleasure instead of pain.

Reaching between us, he plays with my clit again, moaning with his pleasure tingling in his body with mine, and I imagine what life will be like and how I know things will work out. I know that Chase will help bring our pack together, and we won’t be in this position for long.

I orgasm again, my body tensing, and I moan and suck Chase’s shoulder. He grunts as he comes, his body reacting to mine, but he doesn’t pull out. He continues to kiss me, showering me with his affection.

“I think I’m falling in love with you, Eliana. I wasn’t going to say anything, but I need you to know. You don’t have to say anything back. But I do love you. I want you as my mate, and I will do anything to ensure it.” He smiles at me and kisses me, not allowing me to speak.

I couldn’t find my voice even if I wanted to, because my body still hums, and the scent wafting from him keeps my body buzzing and turned on so that all I can think about is wanting more. Needing more.

The pressure between my legs subsides, and Chase groans as he finally manages to slide out. He rolls over only to pull me on top of him, and I straddle his waist and plant my hands to his chest, feeling his heart beating seemingly just for me.

We stare at each other in silence, our hearts pounding and his body still ready and waiting. Chase arches up and kisses me again, lifting me to carry me back to the shower. Thoughts of caring for me twirl through my mind, his need to bathe me and feed me and cuddle me more prominent than his own desire to fuck me over and over again.

I savor his affection and love, realizing just how true it is. I’ve never felt an emotion like it, so raw and open and honest. I’ve never been in love before, but it’s as if my very being recognizes it. My soul returns it. His love for me isn’t unrequited. It’s everything I needed to realize that he is my perfect mate. Our pack will be stronger because of him.

A howl sounds through the air, drawing our attention. Chase cocks his head and listens, but I can’t hear any voices or anything besides the howl. And it rises fear inside me.

“Come on, let’s get dressed.” Chase guides me from the shower again, helping me dry off and change into a summery dress. I wish he gave me pants, but I’m not sure there are any here. Wherever we are is intended to treat me like what some men define as the epitome of femininity. Whoever picked out the clothing thinks I need to be a stereotypical human female, but those times are long gone. I’m not human anymore. I’m a she-wolf. And I will bite.

Chase rushes the door, yanking an actual spear from the place where it hangs. It’s the strangest thing, seeing him grab a weapon, and it also freaks me the fuck out.

“I’m still learning to transform. It’ll take too long for me to try, and whoever just howled is not part of our pack. I don’t recognize him.” Chase remains even in tone as he tells me. How he manages to stay calm is beyond me.

“What? Where is Ravi?” I ask, looking around the room in search of my own weapon.

“He’s coming. Our whole pack will be here any minute. We just need to hang tight.” Chase leans close to the window, trying to peer through the curtain without opening it.
