Chapter Nineteen

    Cat was babling fast and I couldn't keep up with her. I was still trying process the fact that Axel was leaving tomorrow. Axels eyes roamed my face and he sighed.

"Cat. Slow down. You're going to fast for her. I do have a few things to take care of before we go about our day. I'll see you in about an hour, little one."
   
    I nodded and he kissed my forehead as he left the room with my father and Blake. I turned to Cat and she giggled when she noticed how red my face was. She knew it was easy to fluster me and she often did it on purpose.

"C-Can we go to the music room?"

"Absolutely! I love it when she plays!"

    Cat sqeauled and my mother followed us. Once in the room, I sat at the piano and just let my fingers dance across the keys, humming softly. I hadn't played in a few weeks and this helped calm and center me. I peeked at my mother who was watching me a bit surprised. I smiled at her and began playing one of the lullabies I had written when I was younger. Cats eyes snapped to mine as I sang. I was so absorbed in what I was doing that I didn't notice Axel come in. I finished the song, a little breathless and looked around. The room was filled with little sparks.

"I missed hearing you play..."

    Axel whispered and walked over to me, pulling me from the bench. He tilted my chin up and placed a quick kiss to my lips. I blushed and Cat giggled again. Axel glared at her and sighed.

"I... why were there little sparks floating around?"

   I asked and my mother sighed.

"Being a direct decendant of Luna means you have.... certain abilities. It seems you're coming into yours now. Don't worry. While Axel is gone I'll teach you everything you need to know. Now. Axel, what do you have planned for the day?"

"I was thinking we could go for a picnic..."
  
  I nodded and nuzzled Axels neck. Cat squealed and ran to get things together. She loved picnics. Her and I had a lot of little picnics when I first came here. Axel and I walked to the little spot down by the pond on the edge of the territory that Cat had picked out. Someone had already set things up and I sat down on the sheet, tilting my head back and letting the sun warm my face. I sighed and closed my eyes. I loved the feel of the sun. 

   I felt Axel come closer and opened my eyes, smiling at him. His eyes connected with mine and he knelt in front of me. He cupped my face in his hand and his eyes moved to my lips as I bit down on my bottom one. He groaned quietly and I giggled.

"Is the sun nice?"

"Mhmm. I like the warmth..."

    I whispered and he brushed his lips against mine again. I stilled, a bit shocked. He was being so affectionate today. I threw my arms around his neck and pressed closer to him. He groaned and pressed his lips to mine, his hands tangled in my hair and I moaned softly. The kiss started out gentle but quickly turned needy and heated. Axel pulled back and pressed his forehead against mine, gasping for breath. I bit my lip and blushed when I saw Cat watching with a smile on her face. Her and Blake walked over hand in hand.

"Axel. We need to tell you something."

    Cat whispered as she sank to the ground across from us. Axel sighed and settled behind me, letting me rest against him so I could relax and enjoy the feel of the sun on my skin. Blake sat next to Cat and he looked very nervous. Cat was practically vibrating with her excitement.

"I'm pregnant!"

      She squealed and I jerked upright. My eyes wide. I knew her and Blake had been trying and even lost a few pregnancies. I was here for one of her losses. Axel stiffened and looked from his sister to his beta and sighed.

"Cat... didn't the pack doctor tell you it wasn't safe?"

"Yes. But I figured one more try wasn't going to be harmful."
 
    I smiled at her and she giggled. I sent a quick prayer to Luna that this pregnancy stuck and went well for her. Axel shook his head and shrugged.

"Congratulations, baby sister."

     The picnic ended after a few hours and Axel wanted to go home. Once we walked into our room Axel locked the door and pinned me to the wall, smashing his lips to mine. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ground my hips against his erection. He responded with a snarl and tore my dress from my body. I gasped and giggled as he threw me on the bed. That's when I noticed his eyes, his wolf was in control now. I bit my lip and blushed. Axel didn't let his wolf out a lot. Axel quickly stripped and climbed on top of me. I traced his face with my fingers and he connected our lips as he thrust into my body. I gasped in surprise and moaned as he thrust into me harder. Axel buried his head in my neck, licking my mark. I moaned and Axel rolled onto his back, letting me straddle him.

    His hands gripped my hips and set the pace. I threw my head back and moaned as one of his hands cupped my breast. I felt my body tighten and Axel snarled again. He sat up and latched his teeth to my mark again, causing my muscles to spasm as I climaxed. Without thinking twice, I clamped down onto Axel, marking him as mine. Axel growled suddenly  as he reached his own release. Axel gently pulled out of me and laid me down. I snuggled into his chest and smiled at him sleepily.

"Axel?"

"Yes?"

"I love you."
 
  I whispered and he tensed. I looked at the wall, not wanting to see his face. A hand found its way under my chin and titled my face to his. He was smiling at me.

"What did you say?"

"I love you."

    He crashed his lips to mine and I relaxed into the kiss. Axel broke away and cradled me against his chest.

"I love you too. Let's get some sleep."
 
  With that, I let the warm and black blanket of exhaustion take me under.
