CHAPTER 40: TURN OF EVENTS
CHAPTER 40: TURN OF EVENTS
Axel’s POV
One of my many duties as Alpha was marking our territory so, why did I ask Tyler to handle it when he ruined my moment with Alana this morning?
It took more than willpower to leave her side and with every step I took farther away from her, my bones only ached more, and the pounding headache that had formed made me want to gouge out my eyeballs with my claws.
My place was right beside Alana and the cold and impassive look on my face told Tyler that I would rather be there than near these borders.
“Thirteen more marks to go, Axel. Although, I believe that with the scowl on your face, we don’t need these, and any intruder will think twice before trying to cross our borders.”
“Ty.”
The annoying piece of shit only echoed a chuckle at me reprimanding him.
I took a handful of the short silver bullets covered in enhanced mountain dust, folded them in my left palm, and interlocked them with my right as I muttered the words of protection.
As I opened my eyes at the end of the spell, the once plain bullet now had half a moon with a paw crisscrossing it tatted to their sides.
I traced the ground with my bare hand, feeling it out for the perfect spot to let each of them lay. The marks would do a good job of keeping the…unwanted things out.
As soon as I turned my back to the border, an invisible force pulled me forward to the point that I staggered to get a grip on myself. The puzzled look on Tyler’s face was the confirmation I needed to tell me that what I just felt wasn’t in my head but was actually visible.
“What just happened?” Tyler asked, confused.
It took a few seconds of reasoning for me to put a pin on it.
The mate bond was pulling me towards Alana. And then it clicked. She was on heat, and that was why I didn't want to leave her side.
That should be impossible. We were supposed to still have time. We only just marked each other yesterday.
But that didn’t stop me from moving on autopilot back to the house where my mate was.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
My heart beat erratically at the many things that this would mean for Alana and me, but none came close to the arousal and need to be with her that I felt.
Coral’s voice popped into my head with more confirmation. Alana is going into heat, Axel. Get here fast.
Even if she hadn’t reached out, I was already halfway back to the house.
As I flung the door open, there she was, looking at me like I was the only person in the world she wanted to see. I tuned in on her and it was just the two of us. Nothing else.
My mate.
“Axel,”
“Alana.”
The desire that coursed through me and the tension between us was thick and visible, I didn’t make out whatever Coral was saying.
I took haphazard steps to Alana and took her hand in mine, the other gently cupping the back of her
neck.
“Are you okay?”
“My body's on fire.” Her eyes glistened with tears and my protective side only wanted to make it stop.
I carried her to the bedroom and once I put her down to close the door, she jumped back on me, straddling me and pressing her heels into my waist to seal whatever space there was between us.
Her arousal permeated the air as she took my lips and did a number on my brain that I couldn't believe.
“Wait, Alana. We should talk about this.” It tasted bitter as words were now in place of Alana’s lips.
“About what?” Frustration evident in her eyes.
“You’re in heat. This is…unusual. Not unheard of, but a rarity.”
“And I just want you.”
My grip on her waist tightened as I pushed back the base instincts that told me to screw
conversations and kiss her hard till she didn’t have any breath left in her lungs to breathe.
“I want you too, Alana.”
“So touch me. Please.” She squeezed harder on my waist, settling lower to meet my crotch where she tried to rock back and forth. Needing friction.
I put her down, more in pain than her from the separation. As I led her to the bed, she had more of a confused look as to why I was holding back. I did too.
“We’ve been mated and marked and you’re now in heat.” She nodded with understanding. Deep violet eyes scanning mine. “You're at your most fertile period and even without that, my seed is as potent as it can be since I’m Alpha.”
I searched her face for any reaction. Maybe she understood where I was going with this. Nothing.
“What I mean is that there’s a high chance, almost without a doubt, that you may be…”
“I don’t mind that.” The response was a little quick.
“That you may become…”
“Pregnant. I understand, Axel.”
Had Alana thought about this? About having my kids before or was this just her feral side talking?
“We can stick with fingers and tongue. Allow you to think about it before your next heat …”
“Please, stop talking and kiss me.”
I was trying my best to hold back and not take any mindless actions that Alana might end up regretting when the haze of her heat disappeared, but she wasn’t making it easy.
The look in her eyes only told me that she wanted this and I didn’t know how well I would be able to control myself if I let loose.
Alana straddled me on the bed and kissed me like she had been starving for days and I was the only meal on earth. Her hands flew under my shirt and pressed on my bare skin, drawing a half grunt that I tried so hard to seal from my lips.
My head told me to slow down, but my cock decided otherwise as it had already sprung to life since my eyes found her violet ones downstairs.
We stuck with tongue and fingers for the first few hours but as soon as Alana came down from her high and went limp for a few seconds, the fire between her legs returned.
The ferocious hunger in her eyes told me that she knew what she wanted and that was all she was going to take. I eventually caved into what we so badly wanted and even at that, we still went rounds and rounds tirelessly, everywhere we could.
Alana’s eyes would only flutter close for a few minutes before she would jolt awake and demand I take her from a different position without pause.
When I took her to the shower to wash her clean, I ended up breaking the shower head as I tried to control myself from coming too much and too hard.
On the way back to the room, I took her on the floor and I believe the Moon Goddess herself heard Alana’s screams.
Only when Alana rode the last of the high of her heat period twenty-four hours after it started, did we get a fair amount of uninterrupted sleep.
Not that I was unhappy being awake anyway.
