Suddenly, a wave of anxiety hit Niev. For a split second, she felt as if she’d arrived on the Timber Territory for the first time again. Eyes she’d never seen before judging her. People she’d never met shutting her out before they even attempted to get to know her.

Blake must have felt her inner storm and rested his hands on her shoulders. “What about the pack?”

“We haven’t discussed this with anyone outside of this room.”

“I’m sure they’ll welcome you with open arms,” Luna Charlotte quickly added. “The pack has been quite curious about you both and the ones who have met you are very fond of you.”

Blake squeezed her shoulders in an attempt to calm her nerves. “We’ll have to think about it.”

“Of course. This is a big decision.”

Niev stood up and walked out, her emotions now surfacing. She reached for Blake’s arm in the hope his touch would calm her. He immediately held it out and guided her back to their temporary home. They stayed silent, each in their own thoughts.

In the bedroom, she sat on the edge of the bed and reached for Blake. She pulled him closer by a hand on his belt. He was restless, just as restless as she was. She needed him. She knew his touch, his taste, his scent would erase her wild thoughts for just a little.

He didn’t protest, instead welcomed her hands as they popped open the button on his jeans and tugged down the zipper unwrapping his hardening dick. Running her palms down his thick thighs, she pushed the fabric down. He was tense, his muscles dancing beneath her touch. As she looked up, his jaw clenched. Not out of nerves, but from wrestling with his wolf. Reaching around him she caressed her way back up, cupping his ass in her hands. Her tongue pushed past her lips, giving her a taste of him as she ran her flattened tongue down to his base.

Her eyes fixed on his face, she watched with satisfaction as his contours softened and his eyes fluttered shut. Slithering her tongue back to his tip, she closed her lips around his head and eagerly sucked. His taste, his touch, the relief in his face filled her mind and soul, washing everything else out. Peace filled her inner self as she gently sucked and licked him, soothing herself as much as she soothed him.

When she had fully wiped away all her worries, her anxiety, her fears and even her frustration and anger she pulled away. She could feel his slight disappointment, but it quickly faded as his hungry eyes watched her undress.

He let out a deep groan as she presented herself to him, resting on the bed on all fours. Her mind flooded so suddenly with his lust and raw need that goosebumps appeared all over her skin. Running his hands over her spine, he settled on his knees behind her, his tip pressing into her, the heat from her core like an invitation.

His wolf hovered close to the edge of consciousness, and she knew what that meant. Not only did she know what was about to happen, she welcomed the animalistic nature of his wolf. She needed the wildness, his relentlessness. Pushing toward him, she took him deep within her, his dick stretching her, the sting taking her away from all other thoughts.

She wasn’t ready to think about Alpha Raymond’s offer and what kind of shake-up that would bring to her life. The life that was just about to settle. She’d just gotten used to everything, finally adjusting to her new life, and all that was about to shatter. Even though she knew this was the right thing to do, she wanted to be selfish and deny Blake his destiny for her own comfort.

Before she could spiral down those awful thoughts, he thrust into her, taking her hard and rough. His wolf roared and howled in the bond as he claimed her. She leaned into him, letting the feeling of him take over her thoughts. Holding her in a tight, slightly painful grip Blake took her hard and deep. Her legs shook, her breasts swung back and forth, her heart trembled in her chest.

Time lost itself as Blake slammed into her, his dick rubbing against her walls as his tip worked her sweet spot, sending waves of sparks through her muscles. He used her for his own relief, to ease his own stress and with it, he relieved her of her own. He pushed himself closer to the edge and tugged her along with him, dragging her with him into their climax. Her legs and arms gave in as her orgasm washed over her, her moans muffled in the covers beneath her.

He gently ran his fingers over her spine, over every inch of her shivering body before pulling out. She heard him leave, only for him to return a moment later. She’d rolled onto her side, her bump now making it uncomfortable to lay on her stomach. He gently cleaned her with a warm, wet cloth before drying her and pulling her into his arms. He shifted them on the bed and held her, against his chest the blanket covering her as they both drifted off to sleep.

Secrets

The next morning, Niev woke up to an empty bed. She knew Blake couldn’t be far, so she got up and dressed before retreating to the bathroom. She tried to keep her mind calm as she could feel his still running rampant like wildfire. She found him outside sitting on the porch steps, watching the sunrise as the first sun rays peeked over the mountain tops.

Sitting next to him she rested her head on his shoulder. She could feel guilt swallow his heart as his arm wrapped around her.

“I didn’t mean to be so rough last night and let you wake up to an empty bed.”

“I needed that,” she whispered, her voice raspy. “What happens next? Will we have to ask your father for permission?”

Surprise spread through the bond, the fire burning within him slowly fading. He shifted his torso to look down at her.

“You would agree to accept Alpha Raymond’s offer?”

“I’ve always told you, if the time comes to leave the Timber Territory, I’ll follow you without question.”

His eyes began to glow. “You’d agree to come with me and live here?”

“Of course. This is what you need.” Pushing down her anxiety, she asked, “Should we go to Alpha Raymond and further discuss this, or should we ask your father first?”

“Technically we don’t need Father’s permission. We’re free to go whenever we like.”

“But it would be wiser?”

“Of course. But I also don’t want to go back to him without more information.”
